Giants, Dodgers
BY the Associated Press


After today's traditional
opener at Griffith Stadium
major league baseball opens the
1858 season for real tomorrow
particularly on the West Coast,
where folks have been waiting
forever for the real thing.
The eight games are expected
to draw $4,000 fans.
The San Francisco Giants
and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
late of New York and Brooklyn,
renew their long rivalry in San
Francisco.
For the first time since 1850,
neither the Giants nor the
Dodgers will have to wait for
the hosting of a new National
League pennant before getting
the first game under way.
That bit of happy business
belongs to Milwaukee, where the
Braves will run up the bunting
along with the world cham
pionship banner before taking
on the Pittsburgh Pirates in
County Stadium.
The full schedule, with ex-
pected attendance and 1857
pitching records in parentheses,
looks like this:

The transcontinental shift has
made eastern teams OF Mil
waukee and Cincinnati. Just a
few years back. before the
Braves moved from Boston to
Milwaukee to start all this.
Philadelphia was the western
most club in the East.
While the MI steals most Of
the glamour by setting up shop
in San Francisco, running up
pennants in Milwaukee and
staging a traditional opener at
Cincinnati. the America n
League has its share OF drama.

Towes and Beer

%OUNTY Democratic leaders were wise
- last spring to get from ]. Millard Tawes
a firm pledge that he will do all in his power
to preserve the county'S liquor dispensary
system.
Certainly in 1851 the State Comptroller
was making frontal assaults on the county
wholesale beer monopoly which is such
revenue-producer Who is to say that once
he was successful in abolishing the beer
wholesale monopoly Comptroller Tawes
would not have turned his big guns on the
county's wholesale and retail liquor monopoly
in an attempt to shell it into oblivion? If
the one is logical, so is the other.
There were uneasy feelings in 1851 that
Mr.. Tawcs, by attempting to kill the whole
sale beer monopoly, was simply trying to pay
a political debt. If this is true, it is to be
devoutly hoped that Mr.. Tawes has changed
his ways. The county's department of liquor
control now yields net profit of about 81
million a year for the taxpayers. If Mr..
Tawes tampers with this, after being elected,
he will be killing off his party in Montgomery
County.

Happy Choice

THE County Council deserves pat on the
back for selecting John A. Floyd to serve
out the unexpired term of David Scull who
resigned from the Maryland-Na Capital
Park and Planning Commission Mr.. Floyd
is man of proven ability and brings to his
new duties good background of knowledge
and experience needed for the job.
Word filtering out of the closed Council
sessions at which the matter of Sculls sue
cessor was discussed had it that there were
strong initial differences of opinion among
the Councilmen over who should be chosen.
Some councilmen had personal prefer
ences. Also the inevitable pressures of those
who like to operate on big scale, and behind
the scenes, were brought to bear on some
elected county heads as they weighed their
decision In fact it was primarily the latter
that caused the disagreements, we are told.
Two of the Republican State Central Com
mittee's nominees, other than Floyd, enjoyed
the backing of two of the county'S wealthiest
land developers but because the powerful
pair backed different candidates, each one
lost. If they had got together on one, they
probably could have put him over. This kind
of shenanigans is never greeted too warmly
by the just-plain-citizen types who abound.

Campaign Issues
Take a Back Seat
An Opinion

II is abundantly clear at this late stage OF
the local political campaign that the voters have
no precise picture of the difference between can
didates running under the Democratic label or
those running under the Republican banner
David Macdonald, COP atlarge candidate for
the County Council has hurled spectacular charges
at the Democrats but most of them have been
flashes in pan with no follow.up Some have
even been recklessly thrown out without much
basis for fact
Ward CaddingtOn, chairman Of the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, seems to take
delight in making ridiculous charges against
David ScuII, chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee.
Mr.. Caddington this week warned an audience
that David Scul will be political Dictator Of
Montgomery County If the COP wins the No.
vember election lie goes on to say that never
n the history of Montgomery County has so
despotic a rule been exercised political
Party as Mr.. Scul now exercises over the Re
publicans'
Mr.. Scull retorts with: "bossism Is condi'
ton with which Caddngton has long been famil
lar" lie charged Caddington with attempting
TO raise a smoke screen 10 conceal the new labor
domination within his own party ranks
IT is evident that Ward Caddngton is talking
in his hat lie above al people knows TINT David

Should We Elect
Or Appoint Them?

Some county school board members and others
who want to get on the board as we'll as an in
cumbent circuit court judge are flguratvely -
II not literally kissing babies and indulging in
much pointing with pride and viewing with alarm
in an effort to win votes. The crescendo of their
campaigns increases daily as the November
election looms.
There are those who say such campaigning
is unseemly and inappropriate. 1t detracts from
the dignity of the office, it is contended. We
would get better school board members and bet.
ter judges if these officials were appointed. Moth
ing, we believe could be further from the truth!
Those who argue for the appOintive
method overlook several factors. One of these
is the political pay-Off 1t Is hardly new
idea that party faithful ere rewarded with
appointive jobs Work hard enough for the
party or kick in enough dough and you CAN
become school board member i'm many
areas. Nor has this practice been exactly a
stranger to Montgomery County in times past.
The appointing authority is, almost of neces-
sity, political creature Politics, almost al
ways, is factor in appointments. To ex-
pect anything else is unrealistic
Appointed officials Also tend to become aloof
AS practical matter, they account to the ap-
pointing authority not to the people, All too
often the people become just the saps who pay
the bills. Hence, because the appointed official
isn't directly responsible to the voters he rarely
consults them on how the office should be run
Ask anyone who must campaign vigorously for
his office how the voters feel on public questions

On the Square

What gives with the Republican State Cen.
trail Committee and, in particular what gives with
chairman Dave Scull? With election less than two
weeks away it is apparent the COP organization
has come cropper What is not SO apparent, is
that recent actions of Mr.. Sculrs are are about
to precpitate crisis in party affairs
time when COP candidates are wearing
out shoe leather and doorbells and at the same
None.the-less, mumblings and rumbings continue
to leak from the keyholes.
When the matter of Brent Bozells eligibility
to run for the House of Delegates came up, it
more than rumored Mr. Scull behind a
certain little move to substitute Mrs. Madeline
Aen-a real estate operator and president Of
the Federation of Republican Womens Clubs-on
the COP ticket if BoZell was taken out of the
running by the Board of Election Supervisors.
When the Board and, later the Circuit Court
decided it had no jurisdiction in the matter, the
COP State Central Committee called quick
meeting. Scull went on the carpet, so to speak,
concerning his alleged maneuvering in behalf of
Mrs. Allen Under some right.sharp questioning
by at least one member of the Committee, Mr..
Scull neither affirmed nor denied hand in the
affair.
In order to scotch the Allen rumblings fast,
members of the State Central Committee again,
so to speak, instructed Scull to write letter TO
Mrs. Allen, and 10 others mixed up in the "Aen
deal" pointing cut the party was soidly behind
Bozell Scull was instructed further to explain
that Bozel if elected could be seated by virtue Of
an interim appointment At the same time, Mr..
Scul agreed to phone Bozell and make similar
statements of support and explanation to him,

the Republican Party that Mr.. Caddington's men.
tor has been all of these years. Who does Mr..
Caddington think he is fooling? Or, is he just
having good time trying to widen the breach
that already exists in the Republican Party?
II Is unfortunate that there no definite
issues or any real division upon which voter
decide. 1t appears that the Democrats are
willing TO stand on their record. And il appears
that the COP organization is not prepared to make
any real case against the Democrats
Therefore, the campaign appears TO have be-
come personality contest There are so few
candidates willing to be completely fortnight in
viewpoints affecting the local picture.
OF course, there have been rImblings that
many Democrats We're not going 10 vote for
Stella Werner because she has differed quite
often with the views of high Democratic lead
ers. And there is no doubt that she might
receive fewer votes perccntagewise than she
pOlIcd four years ago. but you can he sure
that Mrs. Wcrners political star has not
dinlnIed too much. There still many avid
supporters who will keep her well In the race.
Unless there Is strong silent Democratic
vote that will cut various candidates there is very
little chance for single Republican victory on
the local level History of the county political
facts indicate that local COP candidates seldom
win without help from bloc of Democratic voters
And it doesn't look like there is such bloc this
year.

Don't Switch Horses

Speaker Of the House of Repre-
sentatives Sam Rayburn, Demo.
crat, Texas, has this TO say about
Congressional experience:
ut takes man a while to
learn and get established and
gain his fun influence. He
doesn't reach his full useful
ness for a term or two. The
worst thing District can do
for itself, if it's got man
here doing the job, is to keep
changing its Congressman
l think those remarks are par
ticularly pertinent to our Con-
gressman, Dewitt S. Hyde. His
six years experience in the House
Of Representative have given
him the "know.how" of legisla-
tive and governmental accom-
plishment. He has put them to
good use and consistently worked
for the Sixth District and the Ma
ton. He continues to grow in
stature and is a credit TO Mary
land. II would be useless ex.
travagance for the Sixth District
not to keep the experience and
competence Of Dewitt S. Hyde in
office.
