ciaD The Baltimore Sun, in an
editorial in Sunday morning edi-
lions, Endorses Willard Z. Tyd-
ings over George P. Mahoney for
the Democratic senatorial nomi-
nation in Maryland'S May Z
primary.
The editorial says that Mr..
Tydings. who represented Mary
land in the United States Senate
for "a years before his 1850 de-
feat. is man of almost unique
legislative experience who "ob-
viously knows the ropes"
The editorial expresses ad-
miration for Mr.. Tydings as a
man who rarely straddled an
issue"
AS for Mr.. Mahoney, the edi-
torial says that aside from his
business success, he has little

I'm afraid the people who see
this picture will think that it's
two mules and one candidate, y
quipped Mr.. Tydings.
The Senatorial candidate made
one more stop in Prince Georges
at the College Park Moose Hall
before returning to Baltimore
last night for a dinner.
Mr.. Sothoron pledged to sup
port the United Nations in his
speech, referring to it as "a great
instrumentality for peace"
Plugs United Nations
He said the fact that the peo-
pie of America failed to support
the League of Nations after
World War ! helped to bring
about World War II, "but now
we have the United Nations. a
council table where men of good
will can solve the problems of
the world"
Mr.. Sothoron also reiterated
his belief that the Federal gov
eminent has a moral and just
obligation" to make a contrib
ution to local governments
where it contributes to such
problems as roads and schools.
Also present at the rally and
meeting as many voters as pos

Mrs. Thomson criticized the
Mayor and Council for enacting
salary provisions for their Of
fees. arguing the issue should
have been submitted to the vot-
ers. Up to now, the Mayor and
Council members have been non

The salaries-or "stipends," as
described in the recently-enacted
ordinance--provide for $1,000
for the Mayor and 5000 for the

Another bill from last year
would set up a registration syS-
tenn for bicycles. The new mea-
sure likely will eliminate the in
spection system which snagged
passage of the 1855 legislation.
Other bills under study would
make Daylight Saving Time au-
tomatically effective in the
county every year. eliminating
annual legislation; repeal the
county fireworks law; provide for
numbering new housing in the
lup-county area, and clear up
technical conflicts in the police
retirement laws.

'MontgomeryBi|I Speeds
Silver Spring Hospital

Bills which would speed the
construction of hospital in
Silver Spring head the list of
legislative proposals to be sub
mitted to the Montgomery Ccun-
ty Council when the councD be-
gins its annual May legislative
session on Tuesday.
Robert N. Snure, council presi-
dent. is expected to sponsor a bill
authorizing So million bond
issue for construction of a 225-
bed hospital on Forest Glen road,
near Georgia avenue. The tacil-
ity will cost an estimated 81 mil
lion. with Federal and State aid
augmenting the tax-raised por-
ton of the cost.
If adopted. the legislation will
provide that the bonds be amor
tized by taxing residents of the
Silver Spring and Wheaton cleo
ton districts.
Bonding Authority Eyed
Another bill under considera-
ton by some council members
would create a revenue bonding
authority. Such an authority
could issue bonds and amortize
them from hospital revenue. An
advantage of an authority set
up. its sponsors assert. is that
it could issue bonds in small de-
nominations for sale within the
county.
! Similarly. the authority could
issue self liquidating bonds for
such projects as airports and
parking lots.
I Legislation may be introduced
which will raise the present 40
cent ceiling on special taxes
which finance construction of
parking lots in such rapidly
growing sections as Wheaton.
Two bills which failed of pas
sage at the 1855 session will be
revived for the 1856 session.
Library Rebate Considered
One. backed by Rockville city
officials, would rebate to Rock
vile the amount which the city's
taxpayers pay in county taxes
for support of the county library
system. Rockville maintains its
own library. An estimated S10.-
900 year would be involved in
the rebate.
