If adopted by the Legislature
and okayed by the Governor this
measure would abolish the Up

Commission, now charged with
planning the county's rural area
The Legislature has also been
asked to give the county permits
sion to establish a revenue author
ity to operate money-making en-
terprises.
Mr.. Reese says he's delaying ac-
ton on county airport until the
revenue authority power is
granted.
Other proposed legislation that
would affect the county includes:
relaxation of liquor laws; promo
ton of the Juvenile Court from
the Peoples Court to the Circuit
Court level; and pay raises for
Peoples Court judges.

dustrial sites in the up-county, and
the Pomeroy proposals for de-
velopment of the area around the

Mr.. Reese believes the Potomac
Electric Power Company dam and
generating plant on the Potomac
River near the mouth of the Mo
nocacy will be started in 1857.
Federal permission to construct
the dam will have to be obtained
first.

This latter road parallels Mont

some of the traffic from that

A more superstitious coach
than Joe Kuharich wouldn't dare
think of making a change in a
winning lineup for Sunday S
game with the Browns in Cleve-
land, but necessity may dictate
several switches.
The Redskins mentor put it
mildly when he said the backf1eld
picture is "all jumbled up" with
both Billy Wells and Dick James
Sideline6 w injuries. But to add
TO the confusion, Kuharich hasn't
vet decided whether Al Dorow
or Eddie LeBaron will start at
quarterback.
"Al has done fine Job for
us and I have no complaints, +"
Joe explained, but want to
get Eddie back in there and give
him some work"
Kuharich's theory is that two
good qlsrterbacks are better
than one. and LeBaron has been
taking, running and naneuver-
ing in practice this week like r is
old self. and any help against
the Browns will be welcome. The
Redskins Used both against the
Chicago Cardinals when they
won the second of a current
four-game winning streak, but
it was Dorow who raked the
chestnuts out of the fire with

a couple Of unerring touch
down passes to bring the team its
l7-l4 victory.
AL did practically a solo
against the previously unheaten
Detroit Lions and went all the
way against the pace-making
New York Giants. He earned an
A-plus for both performances.
But the Redskins may be
playing Sundays game by ear,
filling positions, shifting and
trying new stuff as they go. The
injuries make it necessary, and
some of the strategy planned
for the Browns may call for Le-
Baron'S Sleight of hand. Kuha-
rich won't say. To be perfectly
honest. he doesn't know exactly
how it'll all come out.
One thing for sure, the de-
fensive team, which was just
beginning to enjoy a more
leisurely way of life, will be back
on overtime this week. If the
front line holds, the Redskins
have a chance. But Ralph Fell
tons absence as a linebacker
will hurt, and the team will be
facing newcomer in Quarter
back Tommy O'Connell of the
Browns. He's little fellow
like LeBaron and Ted Marchi-
broda of the Pittsburgh Steelers,
and may be just as hard to find.

other driver as a threat to theI
Four Freedoms in general, and
to Mortimer Wragg's share Of
these Freedoms in particular.
Whenever another motorist tried
to pass him, he took it as al
personal affront and reacted
violently. He considered pedes-
trains a nuisance that should be
abated, and he did his best to-
abate them.
At home a perfect husband
and helpmate, Mortimer in the

him he should have more care

friends declared. "In fact, he's

But they couldn't convince
Mortimer. Even a psychiatrist,
called in by Mrs. Wragg, gave
Iup in despair and took to his
own couch, talking to himself.
One thing Mortimer never
could stand was being forced to
drive behind another car. To
pass whatever might be in front
of him, he fractured all speed

and ignored all highway signs
