Recently off the press is a
volumn of fourteen essays, un-
der the title of Americans Are
People and Other Assertions"
by Leland Miles. This volumn
will be of interest to local peo-
pie because DR.. Miles is the
husband of the former Miss
Virginia Geyer, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Geyer. The book
has a foreword by the Cover
nor of Maryland, Theodore Nc
Keldin, who speaks in very
personal vein, he having known
DR.. Miles in Baltimore and at
Hanover College, Madison, In
diana, where he is chairman of
the English Department. The
book should make interesting
reading to many people since
it includes in its text Ameri-
cans in all walks of life, and
has many humorous cartoons
as well.

Seeks Circuit
Judge Post

r. Duncan Clark of Chevy
Chase today filed as a can idate
for circuit court judge for the
sixth judicial circuit of Maryland
The circuit comprises Montgom
cry and Frederick counties, but
under the law the new judge must
be a resident Of Montgomery
County.
A lifelong resident of Montgom
cry County, and a longtime Re.
publican leader here, Mr.. Clark
nevertheless filed his candidacy
in booth party primaries.
lie explained his action this
way: "The law provides that a
candidate for circuit judge shall
run without party label; it per.
mits filing in both party pri-
maries; so in the spirit of the
law, that judicial office should be
above partisan politics, / have sub.
mitted my name to voters of both
parties. Many Democrats have
urged me to take this position"
Mr.. Clark is a practicing lawyer
in Rockville, as well as a com
on the Maryland State
Accident Commission. He was
appointed to that position last
June by Gov. McKeldin after serv.
ing several years as trial magis-
trate in Rockville.
