Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-01-06
At Annapolis
Especial To The Sentinel,

AnnapollS-Only one veteran
of the past four years in the
Legislature was among the Mont
gomery County lawmakers
sworn into a new term as the
1855 General Assembly opened
in Maryland's Historic State
House this week.
He is Gilbert Guide of Chevy
Chase, the Lone Republican to
win from this County in last No
vember's Democratic landslide.
Newcomers include State Sena-
tor Edward S. Northrop and Del
egates Mrs. Margaret Schwein-
haut, Warren Browning, Blair
Lee, Bird, William B. Wheeler,
and Charles w. Woodward.
The Assembly formally con-
vened Wednesday, but the steady
routine of legislative procedure
with the introduction of local
bills and committee hearings will
not begin for another week.
This session will last for 80
days as contrasted to even-num-
bered years when only 30 days
are required.
Contributing to steadily mount
ing predictions that this might
develop into one of the more hec-
tic legislative meetings of recent
years is the fact that it starts a
new four-year term for most
State and County officials. Fur
thermore, Democrats hold an
overwhelming majority in the
Legislature, while a Republican
Governor who, by Constitutional
limitation, cannot succeed him
self tries to maneuver his COP
program into law.
The knowledge that the Cover
nor's program must contain a re-
quest for new taxes to balance
his budget makes it even more
likely the next three months in
Annapolis will provide Maryland
ers with a political battle
royal"
AS this paper went to press,
party caucuses were determining
the new leadership for the 1855
session and the first batch of
bills was ready for introduction.
These bills consist primarily of
measures prepared by the Legis-
lature's interim study group, the
Legislative Council, which an
nually submits about 100 propos-
ais to the Assembly for action.
First on the agenda when the
Senate and House convene will
be Governor McKeldin's vetoes
of several bills passed by the
1854 Assembly. The most con-
troversial of them is an act
which would have postponed the
effective date of proposed in
creases in motor vehicle license
fees = increases which the adj
ministration declares are needed
to adequately finance the 12-year
road building program inaugu-
rated two years ago.

NeaU Years EUe Charity Ball
Of Junior Women Scores Hit

One of the most gala parties in
Washington on New Years Eve
was the Charity Ball sponsored
by the Rockville Junior Women's
Club at Pooks Hill, the first of
what should become an eagerly
anticipated annual event.
Decorated with sophisticated
mobiles hanging from the ceiling
and a huge Happy New Year en-
blazoned across the bandstand,
the ballroom was a-glitter with
lovely women and gallant escorts,
grouped around candlelit tables
centered with gay hats and noise
makers and swirling about the
floor in every mood from waltz
to tango. A mid-evening floor
show featured professional sing
ers and dancers and a riotous
trio outlandishly CARRIED in cotton
dresses and long wigs behind
which lurked John Preston, Rich
ard Settler and Jack Wyckoff.
Rockville's first lady, Mrs.
Dickran Hovsepian enhanced
her blond beauty with effective
white and black. Twinbrook's
first lady, Mrs. Leighton Dudley,
accented her dark hair and eyes
with a red felt skirt and white
jersey evening blouse studded
with rhinestones, while her hus-
band sported the red plaid vest
that may well become his trade
mark.
The club president, Mrs. John
HaltiWanger was lovely in pale
green nylon chiffon crusted with
pearls. She wore a real converse
ton piece, spectacles glittering
with rhinestones which can be re-
moved and substituted with other
smart accents.
The chairman of the dance,
Mrs. Richard Settler, was regal
in a black ballgown highlighted
with a bodice drape of ice blue
satin. The vice president of the
club, Mrs. Robert Rapp, set off
her brunette beauty with a red
skirt and black halter top. Sitting
side-by-side were two of Twin
brooks lovliest ladies, both eX-
models, Mrs. Harris Leland and
Mrs. Arthur Stuck, the former in
deep blue velvet and long white
kid gloves, with glitter sprinkled
on her shining blond Golf, and
Mrs. Stuck in black complement
ed with long white gloves.
Other lovely Twinbrook ladies
were Mrs. Norman Person in
dusty pink lace, Mrs. Jerrold Ull-
man in deep plum taffeta balleri-
ma, Mrs. Paul Crandall in black
lace with a lipstick red top, Mrs.

Bill to Set Up Army
Passed in Austriu

VIENNA, Sept. Is R.-The
upper chamber of Parliament
has overwhelmingly approved a
bill to give Austria its first army
since 1899, when Hitler marched
in.
Two government parties, the
Conservatives and Socialists,
voted yesterday for the measure.
The right-wing independents
abstained.
The army is expected to num-
Der between $4,000 and 10000
men. The first draftees will be
called up next year. They will
be trained by a permanent staff,
already recruited from the Au-
strian police.
Under the new defense bill
Austrians between 10 and 81
years Of age are liable to nine
months service, with specialists
serving longer terms.

history, he added.
Lack Of Ph0netics
The substitution of word rec
iognition for phonetics was at
tackled by the Maryland dean.
who also is professor of modern
Languages. He said he was sur
lprised recently to discover his s.
year-old daughter, after a year
of school, was unable to recog-
nize even simple words because
of a lack of phonetics.
He commended The Star for
its support of a return to the
teaching Of fundamentals and,
in particular, praised q recent
series in the newspaper, why
Johnny Can't Read" by Rudolph
Flesch. While not willing to agree
with everything MIR. Flesch
wrote, he said he Is convinced
the writer was shooting up the
right tree"
As Maryland dean, he said he
generally is best acquainted with
students who are having dim
culties or have failed and that
the evidence of faulty elemen-
tary education is appalling.
He said he has no quarrel with
giving students a broad socio-
logical background. that he
would not want to go back to just
the bare essentials, but that he
is shocked ct the disregard Of
fundamentals.
The dean was introduced by
William r. Reading. first vice
president and educational chair
man for the institute, which pro-
vides training courses for bank
employees in this. area. Mr..
Reading is assistant treasurer
and manager Of the College Park
