Mr.. Lamb describes himself as

In reply to the Garrett criticism
he said it is evident Mr.. Garrett

and the tenor of community
feeling.
He was joined by Wylie Bar
row of Chevy Chase in recon-
mending that the board hold
public hearings on the question
before acting.
Mrs. Helen Scharf. chairman
Of the board, and Willard
McGraw pointed out that public
hearings have been held twice
during the past year on specific
aspects of the question.
Il think we are we'll aware
of the feelings of most groups
in the county on this question"
Mr.. McGraw added. No vote on
the matter of public hearing
was taken when additional sup
port for the hearings failed to
develop,
Results Favorable
DR.. Norris pointed out that
his STATS limited experience
with indignation in down-coun-
ty schools has been quite fa-
vorable." He admitted that
questions of pupil adjustment
due to economic, social or aca-
demic reasons had arisen but
were adjusted with splendid"
cooperation from all sides.
He maintained that there has
been no lowering of standards
of instruction, but warned that
annual testing programs in
county schools for many years
have shown IAN unmistakable
difference between the average
academic achievement CT white
and Negro students.
THE difference" he added, "is
great enough to warn against
fast or large-scale changes"
In regard to the employment
of Negro teachers in integrated
or all-white schools. DR.. Norris
said the policy of relative
merit" promulgated by the
board on March 81, 1855, will
continue to apply.
Under this policy appoint
mentS are made for a particular
vacancy on the basis of personal
and professional qualifications,
regardless of race. He warned
that such appointments should
not be influenced by outside

BALTIMORE. April 24.-Mil-
lard E. Tydings and George P
Mahoney set off in different d.
rections today in search of votes
for the Democratic senatorial
nomination after the campaign
approached the verge of per-
sonal attack for the first time
At a rally in Essex. in the
eastern suburbs of Baltimore,
Michael j. Birmingham, State
campaign manager for Mr.. Ma
honey, told about $50 Mahoney
supporters that Mr.. Tydings is
for himself-he's for special in
terest.
With only two weeks remain
ing until the May primary. the
campaign thus far has pro-
crossed without either of the
principals making a personal at
tack on the other.
Mr.. Birmingham. who is pres
ident of the Baltimore County
Commissioners. heads one of the
strongest political machines in
the State.
Raps "Old Guard"
Declaring the Demo cratic
Party has been on the decline in
Maryland for the last eight
years. Mr.. Birmingham said 1.-The
old guard threw up its hands IN
horror" when Mr.. Mahoney's
name was offered as the one
candidate who could unite the
party.
Instead, he added. 1.-The old
guard" tired to get former Gov.
w. Preston Lane. jr., Baltimore's
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro. or
former Representative Lansdale
g. Sasscei, to run.
They even went down to
Montgomery County and tried to
get Newton Brewer to run, even
though he wasn't known in the
rest of the State Mr.. Birming-
ham said.
Especial Interests Hit
After charging Mr.. Tydings
stands for special interests, "
the Baltimore County political
boss added that the former Sem
ator voted against social Sc
curity and against the veterans
bonus. Yet he tells you what a
big hero he was in World
War l."
One of Mr.. Tydings appeals to
veterans is the fact that he
served overseas in the first World
War.
Mr.. Mahoney. on the other
hand. continued to steer clear
of any direct personal accusa-
tons against his opponent.
Speaking after Mr.. Birmingham,
he took a few verbal swats at
special interests generally.
He made no reference to Mr..
Biiminghams barrage. But he
v hipped up enthusiastic applause
when he shouted. lets make
Nike Birmingham proud-not
only will he be the leader Of Bal
timore County. but he'll be the
leader Of our great State Of
Maryland"
The Eisenhower administra-
ton is dead set on putting the
little man out OF business" Mr..

The
Rambler
A Cumeru Fan
Gets Shudders
BY JACK JONAS

Somewhere in this big coun-
try, there's a tourist who prob
ably is cured for life of trying
to sneak forbidden pictures.
The story begins with the
National Geographic Society,
which sought permission to
take an elaborate color pho
tograph of services at Wash
ington Cathedral.
Dean Francis B. Sayre, jr.,
cited a rule of the Cathedral
that emo pictures are to be
taken of the services, as a
matter of propriety.
The photographers next
asked to set up high-powered
Photographic flashlights, and
have the picture snapped by
someone outside by using a
long extension cord, with the
camera mounted inside the
Cathedral.
The dean agreed to this, on
condition the picture be taken
after the formal services, dur
ing the procession from the
altar. The big lights-six of
them-Were placed at stra-
tegic points in the Cathedral,
and a relay system was set up
to inform the button pusher
when to go into action.
The procession from the
altar began. AS it did, a little
lady in a brown coat strug-
gled past the ushers, walked
rapidly up the aisle and pulled
a small box camera with a
flash attachment from be-
meath her coat.
Her tripping of the shutter
was simultaneous with the
National Geographic mans
press of the button outside.
The churchmen were pre-
pared for the mammoth flash
from the six big lights, but
the little lady was not. She
stared at her camera, shook
it, and then turned and fled
with what can be described
only by the cliche-the look of
a scared rabbit.

If it weren't for people like
Charles Batchelder and Milt

be up to their hips in alli-

Mr.. Batchelder, administra-

asked about getting so baby

wanted to give something diff

The permanent restaurant is
at Maiden, the other near Albany

The union is continuing to
picket the restaurants which are
open for business.
Harold Luxembourg, attorney
for the unions local IL. replied
when asked the reason for with
drawal of pickets at the build

The union expressed its APP
probation to its sister unions
