REPUBLICAN CONFIDENCE


The mood at the Republican
National committee headquarters
here is that of easy confidence.
Although the top level people in
the committee offices hesitate to
speak out openly about their OPP
timism, they say off-the-record
they believe President Eisenhow-
er will sweep the country by
nearly as great" a majority as
1852.
KEFAUvER IN 1860?
Those close to Vice Presiden-
tial Candidate Estes Kefauver
are saying that the Tennessee SEN
ator looks philosophically upon a
possible Democratic defeat. They
say he considers a defeat may
pave the way for him to a NOM
nation as Democratic presiden-
tial candidate for 1860.
THE S5TH CONGRESS
There are increasing indica-
tons from the g%rassroots that the
Democrats will control the Sem
ate and House when the 85th
Congress convenes in January.
Some top Republicans in Wash
ingtbn r all but conceding that
probability, but they express hope
that grassroots sentiment may
show a sharp change this final
week.
1t has been noted that in the
final days of the campaign Presi-
dent Eisenhower, aware of the
possibility that he may again
have to contend with Democratic
leadership on the Hill, has been
soft-pedaling criticism against
Democrats as a party. He's been
concentrating most of his efforts
on Stevenson himself.
A BIG YEAR AHEAD?
Both politicians and economists
here are optimistically looking
forward to a healthy spending
year by the masses in 1857 - no
matter which party wins the cleo
ton.
One big reason: The new model
autos which provide such a jazz
ed = up, attractive appearance
may attract as many sales as in
the record year of 1855. 1t is
pointed out that auto buying is
one of the principle indexes in
our economic structure.
However, auto dealers them
selves express one concern: The
S100-or-so increase in price over
last years models may put a
dent in this early optimism.
SCHOOL BUILDING FIGHT
Already, hackers of federal aid
for new schools are drawing up
final plans to push a billion dol
lar federal school building pro-
gram through Congress in 1857.
However, the idea, defeated in
The last Congress, will most like
run into stiff opposition again
next year. Prime argument among
hose who do not favor direct
federal aid: Schools built by the
federal government cost about
5000 per classroom while
schools built under local spon-
;orship cost around $4,000.

chronological developments and the resultant alterations
in many modes of living already outlined on the horizons of
the future.
Through these years of economic change and national
expansion Maryland must maintain its constant

When Mr.. Slack retired in 1855
Mr.. Wise and John T. Fyffe of
Poolesville formed a partnership
and purchased the business.
The company specializes in

Say Revenue Sufficient
The group says a fire tax rate
of one-tenth of one percent of
the assessed value would produce

ton Woods area.
The rebuttal says the Fire
Board should use a l y mile serv-
ice radius for each fire house in
stead of the three mile radius
used in finding Wheaton Woods
protection adequate. The ~
mile radius is recommended by
the National Board of Fire I'm
derwriters, the group says.
Fire calls are now delayed by
confusion" the Wheaton Woods
residents charge. In areas serv-
ed by Whitehall phone exchanges,
operators route fire calls through
the Silver Spring control board
which sends the calls to the
Washington Grove control board

Of the occasion when maximum
cooling is required.
The new power pack of the
Firesweep steps up the horsepow-
er TO 260 from 245 to provide the
extra passing ability when it is
needed. The same is true of the
new six-way power seat 1t is not
just g luxury, but rather another
step towards greater safety by
eliminating driver fatigue.
The all-new 122-inch wheelbase
Firesweep line promises to be a
leader in lower price bracket,
a market DeSoto has never be-
fore explored. The new styled sta
ton wagons are new to DeSoto,
with both two-seat and three-Seat
wagons available. The three-seat
wagons will be called the Explo-
rer and will have the third seat
facing the rear.
In conclusion, Mr. MODESTO
pointed out the added safety en-
gineered into the 1857 DeSotos
with 30 per cent more vision on
the new vista view windshield
The SO per cent increased wind
shield wiper swept area on these
new windshields is due largely
to the introduction of 16-inch
blades, another innovation in the
industry. He also stated that De-
Soto engineers are constantly i'm.
proving the position of the wind
shield posts, adding more sweep
and eliminating all blind spots.
The inside and outside rear
view mirror mounting positions
have been revised to give maxi
mum visibility. The inside rear
view mirror is mounted on top
of the instrument panel and dou-
bic ball joint struts give more
flexibility.

fire service is inadequate. i.
The volume of fires in the area
warrants the establishment of
new fire department in the area"
The Fire Board last week said
it turned down the request be-
cause the Wheaton Woods area
gets adequate fire protection
from the Rockville and Kensing-
ton Fire Departments. The area
will get additional protection
from proposed new fire houses in
Norbeck and on Rockville Pike
near Wall Lane, the Board held.
Second Try
This is the second year the
Wheaton Woods group has sought
a new fire department to serve
the subdivisions along Viers Mill
Rd. between Rockville and Whea-
ton.
The proposed Rockville Pike
fire station should be moved to
the Wheaton Woods area he re-
buttal asserts, to "re-estab sh the
balance disturbed" by tn con-
struction of a new Bethesda fire
house at Old Georgetown Rd. and
Cedar Lane instead of Seven
Locks Road and Bradley Blvd. as
recommended in the master plan
of fire houses.

Boards statement that a new
Wheaton Woods fire house would
be uneconomical when the char
acter of the building in this sec
ton is considered"

200,000,000. The '56557 assess.
able base was $763,24O .685.
In a further statement to the
press DR.. Norris said that he felt
that state and federal aid must
also be increased so that the coun-
ty would not have to meet the
rising costs of public education
alone.
"The question Of financing our
schools adequately will become
more difficult" he said. In his
report, he listed the methods of
economy which he opposed and
which he felt the school board
and the people in the county
would oppose.
These included limiting build
ing; more double sessions; larg-
err classes; less special education
and limiting per pupil expendi-
lures for material and supplies.
Also Monday night the school
board received a delegation of 20
parents from the Northwood Ju-
nior-Senior High and their spokes-
man, Meyer Koonin, who asked
the board to reconsider the deci-
sion to take bus transportation
away from the Argyle Club Es-
tates and Sunset Hills area.
The parents contend that the
walking distance is greater than
the boards one and a half mile
limit; that the sidewalks along
the route are inadequate and that
Sligo Creek Parkway which Dor
ders the route is threat to the
safety of their children.
On this latter point, Mr.. Koonin
reminded the board of the muir
ders of the two girls in lower Sill
go Creek Park in May 1855, and

DeSoto's completely new Tor

not only provide the finest riding
pleasure ever experienced by the
American public, but also incor-
pcrdtes a safety element in the
improved reliability of the car
as well as the increased ease in
handling.

wheelbase has been heightened
from 115 inches for all models in
1856 to 118 inches for standard
models and 100 inches for Subur-
ban station wagons in the 1857

The new car has the appearance
Of greater length which comes
from functional styling. A broad

ward thrusting headlight brow
all contribute to the impression
of length.
In chassis design, Plymouth has
accomplished its most significant
change since the Introduction of
Independent front wheel suspen-
sions with coil springs in 1884.
The feature is called Torsion-Aire.
In the overall re-design of the
front suspension, coil springs
have disappeared They are re-
placed by torsion bar springs
which together with other equal
ly basic improvements in both
front and rear, produce a new
kind of ride and new handling"
The completely new front sus-
pension and steering system
creates remarkable degree Of
stability under forces of acceler-
alton, braking, and cornering. At
the same time, according to Ply
mouth engineers, the vehicle is
more softly sprung than ever be-
fore. For the first time on an
American passenger car, ball
joints are combined with torSion
bar springs to create the unique
combination of ride and handling
characteristics. A new rear sus-
pension Incorporates relocated
leaf springs, which contributes to
the new better ride.

Since September the students
have been preparing themselves
to participate in the "Missa Re-

At this Mass the children were
privileged to share more fully
with the priest by making the re-
