Mr.. Mann added that he did

Houses Of Congress. 1t is at
this stage that there appears
much room for simplification .
Continuing. DR.. Corning says !:
1T is not easy to understand
why House and Senate Com
mittees do not constitute a
Joint committee so that one
congressional hearing would be
all that would be necessary.
The economy Of time for the
officials would be tremendous.
Not only would endless dupli-
cation Of testimony be elimi-
mated. but congressional COM
mittees would hear the same
testimony it should be
easier for the members of the
two committees to reconcile
their reactions than could ever
be possible under the present
separate hearing system"
Other Fiscal Matters
On other fiscal matters, DR.
Corning makes these points:
/. Eight other cities are
spending more for each child'S
yearly education than Wash
ington in amounts ranging from
H$1.04 to $72. On the average
these 8 cities are spending
$30.52 more for the education
of each child than is Washing
ton.
2. From 1947 to 1858 the
Board of Education requested
$l09. TAT 400 for site acquisition

spite of the urgency of the
needs. only $55,318,593 was
appropriated.

that the Commissioners secure

On Ticket in
Montgomery
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star Staf Writer

Star STAFF Writer
A second slate has been
thrown into discussions of a
countrywide Democratic ticket
in Montgomery County.
The new slate was put forth
yesterday by representatives of
the Montgomery County Demo-
cratic caucus anti-organization
group after they had rejected
a proposed middle-of -the-road
harmony ticket that sought to
provide a balance between the
various factions.
The new ticket repeatedly
was the subject of a meeting
yesterday between David Reich
and Ray Murphy. representing
the caucus, and Ward w. Cad
dington and Blair Lee III, rep
resenting the organization.
The caucus slate apparently
was put forth on a take-it-or-
leave-it basis. 1t was not &C
cepted by the organization
representatives.
Caucus Meeting Tomorrow
The full caucus is scheduled
to meet tomorrow night to
determine what future action
is to be taken.
A third ticket also may be
forming with a meeting sched-
uled at the Motel Washington
'nian at 10 pm. yesterday.
Frank Bliss, jr., who called
the meeting, said Democrats
attending will attempt to form
a slate built around present
Democratic Office holders, some
of whom were not included on
the harmony ticket made pub
lie last week.
The caucus slate would give
the caucus a minimum four
members on the seven-member
county council; five members
on the seven-member central
committee and four of six
members of the House of Dele
gates plus Senator Edward S.
Northrop.
Control to Bloc
The Kensington Wheaton
bloc of the caucus would be
given virtual solid control of
the State Central Committee.
The slate calls for Mrs. Alice
Hostetler, Ray Murphy, Mrs.
Susie Kaplan, Vernon Jirikowic
and David Reich as committee
members. Organization men,
bers would be Mr.. Caddington
and William B. Wheeler, men,
Der of the House of Delegates.
The council slate would be
built around Mrs. Stella B.
Werner. incumbent, and would
include Stanley B. Frosh,
Charles Horsky and C. Darwin
Stolzenbach. Also acceptable
would be David L. Cahoon,
Jerry T. Williams and Grover
K. Walker. the latter two in
cumbents.
For the House of Delegates
the caucus proposed Samuel
Groner, Mrs. Elizabeth Rohr,
Mrs. Margaret Schweinhaut, in
culnbent, and j. Grahame
Walker, Acceptable as organi-
cation representatives would be
Mr.. Lee and Charles w. Wood
ward, jr., incumbents.
Three-Way Split Seen
There is apparently a three
way split in the thinking within
the caucus which is likely to
cause a flare-up at tomorrow
nights session.
On the one hand there are
those who want no ticket
formed at all.
Then there is the group, led
by the Kensington- Wheaton
bloc. that would like to field a
full slate Of its own without
consideration of a balanced
ticket.
The third group. whose
greatest strength lies in the
Bethesda Chevy Chase area.

mony ticket to avoid a bitter
