On Beauties

THAT a Montgomery County girl was
chosen Miss Washington" this week to
carry the hopes of our poor, disenfranchised
neighbors in the District of Columbia into
the Miss America Contest, should come as
no surprise to countians.
It is simply another example OF the sub
urbs walking off with the cream and leaving
the skim milk to the District. Last year, an
Arlington girl walked off with the District
title.
We know now what must really be the
underlying reason for concerted efforts by
Washington interests to publiciZe metro"
problems and their attempts to convince the
suburbs that we should all join up and be
one happy family. 1t is not the economics
of the suburbs they are interested in, they
simply care about our beauties
Suburbantes, with beauty queens and
high per capita incomes Astounding, should
not be patronizing toward our street-car-
riding friends, the urbanites. federation
should be our keynote in this moment OF
humiliation and anguish for the District
Although we frankly concede, as Mirabeau
once noted: ut is intolerance to speak OF
liberation"
Beauty is its own excuse for being
Emerson said, and, hence, we have no
here in Montgomery. Our latest triumph, as
the world now knows, is the browning of
beauteous Miss Lee Berkow of Bethesda, as
Miss Washington. Earlier, the comely Mary
Roberta Page, of Bethesda, won the honor
of representing Maryland in the Miss Amer
lea contest next month. In 1856, Silver
Springs lovely Mango Lucey placed second
in the Miss America competition and pretty
Nancy Norris of Silver Spring, last year
trod the boardwalk at Atlantic City as one
of the Nations beauty queens. AS if all this
were not enough, Silver Spring did it again
this year when it provided Patricia Marie
Vogts for the Miss Universe Contest as Mary
lands contestant.
All we can do is offer our sincerest
sympathies to the cliff-dwelling underprivi-
legged of the teeming city. The suburbs are
indeed the future hope, it now becomes quite
clear. Perhaps another Brigham Young is
needed to give city-ites inspiration to move
west or northwest Meanwhile, we find life
out here in the fresh air very invigorating
and the recent out-cropping of beauties only
makes it more so.

IN THE basis of information reaching
the Maryland Press Association, it can
be reasonably deduced that most of Mary
lands Congressman are not exactly white-hot
in their enthusiasm for the Moss-Hennings
Bill.
In replying to letters urging them to
support the measure which would deny Fed
eral departments claim to blanket authority
to restrict the public's right to access of pub
lie records and documents, our legislators
wrote: Sen. Butler-"Your note is appreci-
ated, and l feel sure that this measure is
deserving of careful and sympathetic consid-
eration;" Rep. Hyde-"You may be sure l
will give the bill careful consideration . ;"
Rep. Devereux-" it will have my close
attention." Rep. Garmatz-". . it will have
my careful study" Rep. Miller-"You may
be assured will keep your views in mind if
and when this measure is presented to the
House for consideration y
These are the types of basically frivolous
replies that Congressmen's offices send out
by the truck load. They are nothing more
than Acknowledgements of mail received
sent out principally, for their vote-getting
appeal-and, if you read each one carefully,
they say nothing at all.
Members of the Maryland Press Associa-
ton, reasonably intelligent conscientious
group of taxpaying citizens, could, we should
think, logically hope for a little more con-
sideration from our legislators
The tendency to conduct public business
in private is such rapidly-spreading disease
that it must be checked and the Moss.Hen-
nings bill is a step in this direction. We hope
our legislators are more fully aware of this
than they appear to be on the basis of their
replies.

elementary supervisor since January, 1858
The four will pioneer in program that may
become the route by which capable administra-
tors travel up through the ranks. 1t may also
close the gap through which potential leaders
have been leaving because of insufficient incen-

The new "Internship Program was created
in the $3.50 operating budget submitted by
School Superintendent c. Taylor Whittier The
budget provides for two-part Training Program
of Executives of which part is a Seminar in
Administration and Supervision and part B is
the Internship program
The description reads: "the most promising
candidates for administrative or supervisory posi-
tons in the county shall be selected for inten-
sive training in school organization program
ming, instruction, community relations, and the
like in the practical atmosphere in which they
will be expected TO operate as a principal or
supervisor"
The budget provides $21 200 for the program.
The new program is jointly sponsored by
the Board of Education and the University of
Maryland.
The interns were selected by an eight-man com
mittee headed by Dean Vernon Anderson of the

Letters
Un-Needed Commerce

Congratulations to you for your
editorial on the Gingery speech!
There is great need for the pub
licization of phony coming pro-
posals land their acceptance)
which ostensibly are made in the
name of progress or with the
pretense of benefitting the peo-
pie, but which, incidentally, af-
ford good profit-making oppor-
tunities to landholderS and other
special interests.
One wonders why, so often, our
public servants appear to show
more concern for the interests of
the land Spectator than for the
expressed wishes of citizens
groups, or for the non-organized
people who merely want to live
quietly, away from crowded COM
munities, highways, supermar-
kets, and service stations.
UNDERSTANDABLE, our officials
are in the non-enviable position
of being continually logged by
those who want to take quick
dollar, or by their silver-tongued
representatives, but they who do
not have the moral courage to
resist these demands or who do
not wish to give priority to the
general welfare of the commu.
ity should withdraw from public
office.
BY the time that the residents
are organized to counteract, or
are really aware of a concerted
movement to destroy the very
qualities that attracted them to
their community it is, perhaps,
already too late to displace the
favor that has been won by the
lobbyist.
Who, for instance Except the
land holding company, will bene-
fit from the proposed industrial
coming of a section in the Shady
Grove area? Although there
seems to be no organized objec,
ton to this it is certainly doubt
full that persons living in that
region are in approval and once
established, this industrial neigh
borhood will probably send its
roots out into what is now pleas
ant, peaceful country. Already
the Congressional Airport section
has been ruined, as place TO
live, by commercial and indus
trial coming. Wouldn't this or
some other already industrial

Old-Age
Payments
Increase

Old-age, survivors and dis
ability insurance payments in
Montgomery County this year
rose 26 percent above payments
made last year, according to Viii
liam r. Spates, manager of the
Silver Spring Social Security Dis
trict Office.
Spates said total payments in
the county have reached the rate
of $6,220,968 a year, ending this
past fiscal year.
County residents were paid
$51S.414 a month, Spates said,
noting that most of that money
was spent Immediately for food,
clothing and other necessities.

PoIitix Round Up
PoIitix Round Up
Campaign Activity
Being Stepped Up

Jails sewers and mental hospitals occupied
the political spotlight this week as party officials
shook off Summers ethargy and bore down
preparations for the upcoming general election.
David Scull, chairman of the Republican State
Central Committee for Montgomery County
charged Democrats with playing politics by first
approving and then disappearing a proposed
sewer line up the Northwest Branch Valley
The Democratic-controlled (4-2) Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission asked the Demo-
cratic-controlled t64 Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission to approve of the
sewer up to Browns Corner
When the Planning Commission approved of
the sewer, with COP support Scull said the Dem
ocratic t7-0) County Council summarily dis.
approved of the sewer line and the Sanitary Com
mission followed suit
This, Scull said, was playing politics.
The Republican sec will stage "neighbor to
neighbor' fund drive the week of August Is to
support the party in the coming election.
Senator ]. Glenn Bea (R-Md) Monday re-
vealed Truth Squad for Beall" which will ere
fute the untrue and demogogic statements which
our opponent CDAlesandro) seems determined to
inject into the Senatorial campaign"
Beall called D'Alesandro's change from the
race for Governor to Congress, a "deal-nspred
switch
TruthSquad leader will be Hyman A. Press
man, Baltimore attorney and civic leader and out
spoken critic of D'Alesandro.
j. Millard Tawes, Democratic candidate for
the governorship of Maryland last week ode
plored the failure of the Republican administra-
ton to remedy the overcrowded conditions in our
state correctional Institutions resulting in the re-
cent outbreak at Breathedsvie"
While izad 4
ing program would help, it would only relieve
present overcrowdng and ultimately waste tax
payers money.
He called for system of maximum. medium
and minimum security classifications with an in
terweaving of parole and probation with confine-
ment.
Democratic headquarters in Baltimore last
week issued statement attributed to Tawes,
which said two things in one breath: % Let's
not make mental health political ISSUE (2) If
manpower and money are the remedies of mental
health, Then we must face these facts, no matter
how unpleasant they may be-"
The statement called for the reaccredtation
of the Spring Grove and Springfield mental hos
pitfalls and an expanded system of outpatient men,

some dental surgery has been required - the

The slums have crippled Rockvilles civic
pride for years, but until now, no other housing
has been available for the low-income families.
But with the scheduled completion in Sep

Rental applications for apartments at Lincoln
Terrace were delivered, with letter warning of
eviction to the residents of eight houses on North
Street and two on Frederick Avenue.
Charles G. Douglass, executive director of the
Rockville Housing Authority which is building
Lincoln Terrace, said that persons who are evict-
