Reinhart Koch, chief santa
rian. told the council a survey
of apartment and commercial
areas last April showed that Al
per cent of the multifamily
dwellings and of A per cent of
the commercial establishments
investigated have poor condi-
tions" in their refuse storage
areas.
Mr.. Koch said the survey in
cluded visits to SO apartments
and 1877 business establishments,
most of them in the Silver
Spring, Bethesda Chevy Chase,
Takoma Park, and Wheaton
sections.
Most problems were said to
result from inadequate and in
sufficient number of containers
in apartment dwellings and a
carelessness on the part of occu-
pants. Some commercial areas
lack a sufficient number of COL
lections, Mr.. Koch said.
DR.. William j. Peoples, health
officer, recommended that a new
ordinance ordered prepared by
council includes standards for
refuse containers, prevention of
garbage burning except in prop
erly- designed incinerators, and
the designation of responsible
tiles of owners and tenants for
care of refuse containers.
He also suggested the build
ing code be amended to require
plans and written statements
showing proposed refuse-han-
ding practices in commercial
and multi-family buildings.
The proposed ordinance also
would amend refuse-hauler Ii
censing provisions to require
regular collection service, except
under certain conditions, and
the careful hauling of trash to
a disposal dump.

the Governors massive resist
ance" program their unqualified
support.
1t is a crucial issue in this
city of 100000, which could be
among the first to feel the effects
of the Stanley plan.
Norfolk already is under Fed
eral Court orders to desegregate
its public schools. An appeal is
pending before the Fourth Cir
cult Court of Appeals.
If the appeal fails and Negro
students apply for admission to
Norfolk white schools, the city
will have to decide whether the
Governor should be allowed to
close affected schools, or whether
a local school system should be
operated without financial sup
port from the State. The city
receives about $2.6 million a
year in State funds for school
operation.
Oppose Stanley Plan
To avoid such a dilemma,
Norfolk's incumbent legislators
opposed the Stanley plan. They
previously had Endorsed the
Gray plan, and stuck by it. I'm
der the Gray plan. pupil place
ment would be left in the hands
of local school boards and there
would be no automatic fund
cutoff.
The incumbents are Delamater

dore c. Pitcher. Toy D. Savage.
jr., John F. Rixey and James w.
Roberts.
Opposing them are j. Addison
Hagan, Frank r. Ford and Har-
vey E. White. jr.
The challengers set the tone
of the campaign in their open
ing announcement. when they
said:
ANY pupil assignment plan
which accepts and seeks to meet
the dictates of the sociological
rulings of the Federal Courts
means mixed schools. The people
of Virginia standing together in
massive resistance can save their
public schools"
Backed Gray Plan
The Gray plan, which all six
incumbents campaigned for. con-
ceivably could permit some in
tegration if a local school board
would assign a Negro student
to a white school. Any child OBJ
ljecting to integrated classes.
however, could be transferred to
another school or receive tuition
grants to attend segregated
private schools.
According to the incumbents
the Gray plan offers the best way
to meet the Supreme Court de-
segregation ruling. They say
they want to preserve segrega-
ton. but do not believe the
people of Norfolk would stand
for the closing of public schools
as provided by the Stanley plan

Study Criticizes
Management

A critical report on the oper-
alton of the Rockville city gov
eminent. including "a recon-
mendations for improvement. by
Washington management con-
sultant William A. Gill, was
made public last night by the
Mayor and council.
Mr.. ellis 56-page report found
that the city management is
less than good" when measured
against the standards of man
Iagement experts" but noted that
improvements have been made
in the past year. He said many
operations are quite adequate

He was especially critical OF
the city's failure to put any of
its procedures into writing.
Mayor Dickran Y. Hovsepian

Rockville $500. Mr.. Gill sur
veyed the city government for

criticized the city for preparing
its budget on a very tight

many last minute presSures
and "erratic or make-shift bud

He also proposed that the

Mr.. Gill also urged the ap-
pointment of director of serv-
ices to head the recreation, pub

departments.
The report recommended that
help be hired to improve the
accounting department so it
will meet the criticisms of aud
itors and the accounting require

Protection of Records
Mr.. Gill recommended that
steps be taken Immediately to

Other major recommended
tons:
The city planning commits
sion should speed work on a
master plan.
The Mayor and council should

detectives in running the city
and the city manager should
interpret these for his staff. The
consultant said the platform on
which the Mayor and council
ran for election last year did not
fulfill this recommendation.

bonds should be studied. i'm

The logical conclusion which

"magics" is that it would be
wiser to join than to oppose
them. The USSR is striving
to show the world that 1t has
now reached such a degree Of
military power in conven-

weapons that it would be
futile for anybody to attempt
to resist it. The military dis
play in Red Square in Mos

Our governments policy of
peace at any reasonable price
has not paid the expected
dividends, and the go-slow
attitude of the executive
branch Of the administration
with regard to rocketry and
high-energy physics has given
international communism its
present spectacular advan-

who have been caught nap

the blame on interservice
rivalries. They unquestion-

Meyner and Wagner Greatly Benefited
While Republicans Lose Ground

Tuesdays elections show
the Democratic trend holding
up we'll. Republicans pri-
vately admitted they lost
valuable ground without COM
pensatory gains.
The sampling of voter
opinion was too limited for
sweeping concentrations. but
two Democrats were greatly
helped.
Gov. Robert B. Meyner of
New Jersey moved we'll for
ward in the list of Demo-
cratic presidential hopefuls
for the most practical of all
reasons: He can get a lot of
votes from all kinds of people
and nobody is mad at him.
Mayor Robert F. Wagner
of New York made a striking
comeback from his defeat
for the Senate last year. He
is restored to the ranks of
potential candidates for Gov
ernor, Senator and the ma
tional ticket.
Democrats also relaxed Wis

ner returns indicated that

Negro population.
In both instances. Repub-
licans had tried hard to cap

a year ago in the presidential
race. Thus, Mayor Robert
Wagner was reelected this
week on the Democratic
ticket with a total vote of
more than 1907. 900, which
is just about $4,000 less than
Ike got in the same city a
year ago. Mayor Wagner
ran only about 107.500 votes
behind Mr.. Stevenson. but
the Republican nominee for
Mayor, on the other hand,
ran nearly 1 million votes
behind likes vote of a year
ago.
So, in each case, it is
evident that a vast number
of Republicans stayed at
home and didn't vote for
either candidate.
It's the same kind OF thing
that was reported after the
Wisconsin election last sum-
mer. For some reason. the
Republicans are staying at
home and letting the Demo-
Gratis win the elections.
The contests in New Jer-
sey, Virginia and New York
City are. however, not neces-
sarily indicators of a national
trend, inaSmuch as local cleo
tions usually turn on local
issues. Mayor Wagner APP
parently had made a good
enough record not to be
dlslodged, and he had the
Tammany organization back
of him. Gov. Meyner's four
years in Office gave him a bet
ter chance to develop a politi-
cal organization throughout
the State. This was reflected,
too, in the Democratic VIC
tory in the State Assembly
for the first time in many
years.
All in all. the Republicans
seem to be in grave difficulties
and on the downward road
in the North, while in the
South-aS for instance, in
Virginia-they have lost al
most beyond any point of
possible recovery. The send
ing of Federal troops to Little
Rock accomplished this po-
litical reversal without any
corresponding gain for the
Republicans in Negro dis
tricts in the heavily popu-
lated areas of the North.
