MEXICO CITY. July 7.-Six

Mr.. Lopez Mateos' victory

I'm doubt. The PRI and its pre-
decessors have never lost an
election since the parent party
was launched in 1928.
Full New Congress
Mexico also elected a full new
Congress of so senator's and i61
deputies. The PRI claimed that
liz had retained control by an
Overwhelming majority.
There were prospects, how-
ever, the new Congress may
contain more than the nine op-

OK Sought On
OF City Water

Rockville residents for the
first time next month will
drink city water sufficiently
fiuoridated to afford a high
degree of protection against
tooth decay.
Fuoridated water will flow
through city lines when the new
filtration plant on the Potomac
goes into operation early in Oc-
tober, pending approval by the
State Health Department of a
permit allowing fluoridation
which was filed Tuesday by the
Mayor and Council.
The whole city already drinks
fluoridated water supplied under
contract by the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission. But
because the WSSC water is
mixed with water from the citys
30-odd wells, the percentage Of
protection is scant, according to
city officials.
Because they are nearest the
supply of fluoridated water, resi-.
dents of Rockcrest and Twinbrook
have been getting water with
a somewhat higher degree of
fluoride since the Sanitary Com.
mission started supplying the city
in 1865.
The citys new plant on Sandy
Landing Road not far from Great
Falls already is fitted out with
equipment TO fluoridate the four
million gallons Of water it can
pump day. The plant can be
expanded to produce up to eight
million gallons day, far in ex-
cess of the average daily con.
sumption Of 1863 million gallons

The glistening water tank

The youngsters, all fifth anc
sixth graders, will sit down al
1880 Am. to watch Beyond the

taught by T.. Darrell Drum
mond, sixth grade teacher from
Falls Church, Va.
Initially the school board had
set aside $8932 for the purchase
of % specially-designed TV sets
costing 1919 each for use in as
many schools.
Last week, the chOol
: heads reversed themselves
and decided to allocate $11O
each to the first 78 elemen-
tary schools that asked for it
to apply toward purchase of
the sets.
Reason for the action, officials
explained, was because of the
wish of a large number of schools
desiring to participate in the
project.
BY Tuesday, according to Mrs
Louise Walker, supervisor OF
audio-visual education, approx
mately 70 schools had formally
applied.
The additional $219 needed to
purchase the special TV sets will
be made up by P-TAs and civic
groups, it is expected.
Montgomery County is one Of
13 participating school systems
in the science series sponsored

Burrage told a nettled Council
that the cost of the new regula-

that $500 that was to have been
spent for "sub-consultants" to the
author of the standards - who
will get a $4,000 fee - was in
sufficient to hire competent aid.
He also said that completion
of the regulations has been held

has spent more time in negotiat-

OUer .LelUd' Magazines

Discussion over whether
certain magazines available
on newsstands are immoral
turned this week into a polit-
ical feud between two candi-
dates for the State Legis-
lature.
Republican j. Douglas Brad
shaw, running for the State Sen
ate, charged last week that coum-
ty law enforcement had broken
down as a result of so many
lewd magazines being sold. in
public.
Democrat Alger Y. Barbee, can
didate for the House of Dele
gates, renewed his contention
that if Bradshaw was aware of
illegal sale of magazines it was
his duty as lawyer and an Off
Ger of the court to cause a war
rant to be issued for the sales
mans arrest"
To this Bradshaw rebutted:
"Mr. Barbee has four assist
ant States Attorneys and
$50 policemen to help him en-
force the laws of the county
and State"
During the running feud. Bar
bee has argued that there are
sufficient laws on the books to
control sale of indecent maya
zines.

"A law was passed in 1855
which bars the sale of indecent
literature to Juveniles" Barbee
said. ALSO, the Supreme Court
last year ruled that the sale of
magazines to adults cannot be
controlled by standards estab-
lished for their sale to children"
Bradshaw's statements, he
charged, are being made "for poll
teal purposes.
He continued: "Police are
constantly watching for sales
of lewd and indecent maga-
zines to children. We have
actually gone further than
the law permits in that we
have gotte newsdealers
voluntarily to remove certain
publications from their
stands"

The blast drew an Immediate
rejoinder from the Democrats
that the accusation was a carp
ing and picking" one and that
the projects cited were included
In publicized flve-year construc-
tion program and were also the
subject of public hearings.
Macdonald singled out Council
man Jerry T. Williams, of Da-
mascus, and Charles II. Janlison,
of Poolesville, as his targets. He
also mentioned <. Brooke Lee.
veteran Democrat leader, in his
statement which brought quick
retaliation from all three Demo-
Gratis.
Democratic County Coun-
ell candidates retaIiated by
referring to Republican
Leader David Soul as Boss
Scull. And they noted that
he had "InmuzzIed his candl-

Macdonald, who first released
the charges over his name as
chairman of the Republican can
didates for the County Council"
called newspaper offices later
and said that the statement was
his alone, not that OF other Rcsr
publican candidates. Theie was
speculation that some Of his Re-
publican colleagues might have
wanted TO disassoeiatc them
selves from the charge.
Macdonald charged that An
napolis Rock Road, one-and-a.half
miles long from Rt. 108 eastward
to the Howard county line was
"a Jerry Williams project"
He charged: This road was

he promised that he would have
the county build it,
Macdonald said the widened
and black-topped road, which cost

that construction of Annapolis
