In reply to Mr.. Summer Wood,
Sr.'s letter to the editor of Thurs

to say in answer to his statement
"Mr. Politician Reeves lacks the

good taste of his more qualified
senior, Mr.. James H. Pugh" that
| don't feel huge shocking pink
signs plastered all over the coun-
ty are in particularly good taste,
neither do ] feel that recorded

taste.
There is a fact which Mr..
Pugh's supporters seem to for
get: Judge John X. Reeves name
was among those included in a
list sent by the Montgomery
County Bar Association to the
Governor when he requested such
a list of lawyers qualified for the
judgeship when that post was
vacated by Judge Woodward.

truth, let's tell the whole truth.

Tawes' Beer Bid
In 81 Recalled
On the Square,

On the night of October 30 - in the year
when making his initial pitch for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination, Baltimore Mayor
Thomas DAlesandro said, among other things,
the bad words" concerning Mr.. Mllard Tawes
Mr.. Tawes is the gentleman who said dead dog
to Mr.. d DAlesandros governorship ambitions and
who currently seeks the States No. l elective
post.
Specifically, Mr.. DAlesandro's bad words"
charged Mr.. Tawes with being godfather" to the
liquor interests that attempt to make friends and
influence legislation at Annapolis. Further Mr.
DAlesandro tagged Mr.. Tawes as Mr. Big who
in 1851, made powerful bid to mangle Montgom
cry Countys liquor dispensary system Said
mangng would have removed the sale of beer
from county jurisdiction.
Now, in view of the fact that Montgomery
County is, and considers itself, a clean county
where beer joints and honky tonks are few and
lar between - and because Montgomery County
reaps tidy profit from the sale of beer (sales
totaled $3349 1885 in the last fiscal year, it is
surprising Mr.. Tawes has not been taken to task
before for the jaundiced eye which he has direct
cd at the countys dispensary system.
Let's review the record: Back in 1851. Mr.
Tawes then State Comptroller, caused to be in.
troduced in the General Assembly a bill which
would have removed the sale and distribution OF
beer from the county. In statement to the Gen.
eral Assembly, Mr.. Tawes pointed out Montgom
erys control of beer had reduced lawful per capita
consumption here by more than half and that
State revenues were affected. He expressed con.
siderable concern for fear this condition would

THE good folks of the North Bethesda Con
greSS of Citizens Associations got to-
gether recently and, adopted resolution. In
it, they said the cutting of the Oldest and
largest trees in the proposed Cabin John
Valley Regional Park by owners of the not
yet-acquired park land constitutes a de-
struction of scenic and recreational resources
which is perfectly legal but is completely con-
trary to the public interest.
Their point is well taken.
1T might be described" the resolution
continued, 'as illustrating the difference be-
tween a citizen who loves his community and
an exploiter who looks at land only as COM
modify in the market place. We would hope
that our social institutions could foster a
stronger concept of civic responsibility than
this, and that the planning commission will
fight for stronger laws to protect the public
interest in planning parks"
The resolution, although some of the
points it makes are naive, nevertheless, pin
points major problem. This would have
been beautiful park area. And now it's
ugly, Scared land. If the good citizens had
invested their hard-earned cash in the land
they might have a somewhat different out
look on just how much financial sacrifice
they should make in "the public interest"
Nevertheless, this was land that should
have been park land and the people who are
responsible for public parks stood by idly
while the desecration was in progress.
What's the solution? There's only one that
we can think of: give the Park and Planning
Commission more cash to buy up the land.
The whole question of the need for more
park acquisition funds is coming to a head
soon. This should help accelerate it.

OF course, the Constitutional requirement is
that elected delegates must have lived here three
years before the election-not three years before
they take their seat. But Bozell explains this
away by saying there is no residency requirement
for appointed delegates. He would be serving as
an appointed delegate even though he had been

'PoIitickinq' Judge

No one can truthfully deny that
far more law has been practiced
in our Court by Mr.. Pugh since
1882, than by Mr.. Reeves since
1889. Both are honorable lawyers
but Judge Reeves, between 1899
and 1856, was too busy being a
Republican politician.
Judge Reeves politicking by
photographs of himself in judicial
robes, and by emphasizing that
he is a sitting judge, has divert
ed attention from his relative lack
of legal experience, for a 15-year
term of office. l, as one Demo
crat who has voted for almost
as many Republicans as Demo-
Gratis, want qualified lawyers like
Mr.. Pugh and Republican Judges
Schnauffer, Lawlor and Ander-
son, for nonpartisan judges, not
just a good politician-lawyer.
Judge Reeves should print at
once his views on the prestige"

Judicial Ethics, of the Maryland
Bar Association, which declares:
"If judge becomes a can
didate for any judicial office,
he should refrain from all
conduct which might tend TO
arouse reasonable suspicion
that he is using the pres
tige of his judicial position

Bizarre is the word for the Bozell case.

Bizarre is the word for the Bozell case
For the first time in modern political history
here, candidate who was duly nominated by his
party is apparently ineligible to be seated even if
he should win the General Election.
The strange case centers on this complica
ton: candidates FOR the House of Delegates
must have resided In the State three years be-
fore the election. L. Brent BOzelI, Republican
nominee, will have lived here only 26 months
by election day.
This is what makes the case bizarre:
Bozell, attorney knew nothing of this
simple requirement in the Maryland Constitution
which is also spelled out in ordinary language in
the Maryland Manual. Other COP lawyers and
no doubt many Democratic attorneys were equal
ly unaware.
After the complication arose, the Board of
Election supervisors took the position, on the adj

Conflict Of Interest

I'M Tuesday in Rockville, the County
~ Council could vote on new regulations
for overhead power lines. This proposal
could, under certain circumstances, cost Po-
tomac Electric Power Co. millions of dollars
that it otherwise would not have to spend.
One of the County Councilmen entitled to
vote on the question is Charles H. Jamison,
of Poolesville. Mr. Jamison is a real estate
man and is employed by Potomac Electric
Power Co. as a real estate appraiser. In Coun-
ty Circuit Court recently, Mr.. Jamison testi-
fled for PEPCO that the value of certain
right-of-way needed by PEPCO for overhead
power lines was worth $4,000. The jury in
that case awarded $2O,500. In another con-
demnation case last Thursday, Mr.. Jamison
testified the value of another piece of land
needed by PEPCO was worth $9040. The jury
awarded $175O0
The question logically arises, is Mr..
Jamison going to vote as County Council
man or as a PEPCO real estate appraiser
when the vote comes up on the new law
affecting PEPCO's overhead power lines?
Or will the whole thing be conveniently
delayed until after the election?
If Mr. Jamison does vote on the question,
what possible justification can he put forth
to explain such an extraordinary decision?
