LETTERS TO

The following letter was writ

national weekly papers. Since the
message was considered by us as
being very timely it is reprodue-
ed here for our readers. Editor

Brooklyn, 10, n w.
February 10, 1859
Dear Editor:
Let me give you word of.
the philosophy of reforms. me
whole history of the progress Of
human liberty shows that all con-
cessions, yet made to her august
claims. have been born OF ear
nest struggle. The conflict has
been exciting, agitating, all-ao-
sorbing, and for the time beng
putting all other tumults to ST.
lence. 1t must do this or it does
nothing If there is no struggle,
there is no progress. Those who
profess to favor freedom, and yet
depreciate agitation, are men who
want crops without blowing the
ground, They want rain without
thunder and lightning. They want
the ocean without the awful roar
of its many waters. This struggle
NAV be a moral one; or it may be
a physical one; or it may be both
moral and physical; but it must
be a struggle. Power comedies
nothing without a demand 1t new
err did and it never will.
This noble, measured state
ment is the most cogent rebuttal

League game played on the Little Red SchoolhouSe field Monday.
 Outhit to 4, the superior field ing by the Braves infield was the deciding factor. In the top of the first, the Braves scored 4 runs on single by Fritcher, two walks and one Red Sox error.
 With the game tied up in the last of the fifth when the Red Sox scored two runs on triple by Milas, a single by Converse and a Brave error, the Braves came through at the top of the sixth with the winning runs by scoring two runs on key single by Box well, one walk and two Red Sox errors. The Red Sox were struck out one, two, three in the last half of the sixth in strong finish by relief pitcher, Mike Behre.
 In six full innings, John Burc- hard gave up only 3 hits and struck out 10 Braves.
 In a brief pregame ceremony, Dick (Punch) Mample, Braves starting catcher, was presented a Little League Honor Certificate and official Little League jacket patch. He left Tuesday for San Diego, Calf. A similar honor was accorded Dick Ellis at the Elks game later in the week.

County Comment
Issue Found Barbee
In Lonesome Role
County Comment

Certain Annapolis events last week stirred
memories of Sam Rayburn's roguish abuse
of his power as chairman at the 1856 Dem
ocratic National Convention.
Perhaps you were one of the millions of
Tv viewers who were amused by the sight of
Salty Old Sam frustrating the mass conven-
ton will. The issue, as we recall was a minor
one, on which the majority opposed Rayburn's
will by shouting mo" in voice vote. Rayburn,
not to be denied, casually proclaimed The ayes
have it" and scurried to the next item.
1t was deft demonstration of an art that
is little practiced but not entirely unknown in
parliamentary history. Closer to home, the
Speaker of the State House of Delegates used
the same tactic, according to observers, to
secure adoption of the sales tax bill in 1917.
Central figure in the Annapolis row which
brought all this to mind last week was the
present House Speaker, Perry O. Wilkinson.
who, unwittingly or otherwise, employed the
strategy in debate over liquor legislation
In this case, however, the "Rayburn ruse"
backfired with the result that Montgomery
County was excluded from Statewide bin TO
legalize sale of liquor In big hotels.
Five of Montgomerys six delegates had
requested the countys exemption from the bill.
The lone wolf was Alger Y. Barbee, who de-
Tended the measure as starting point" to-
ward relaxation of the countys restrictive
liquor laws.
In the course of debate, Barbee tangled
openly with Blair Lee, chairman of the county
delegation. The Speaker, though confined by
tradition to neutral role in House debates,

believe we owe a vote of
thanks to our good neighbors
for their effort and diligence in
assembling a mass of data from
official government documents
and compiling the information
in this form. 1t Is very enlight-
ening. My hope Is that 1t might
be made available through the
pubic libraries so that all inter-
ested persons might study it
before April 1.-THE date of the
public hearing to consider new
law which would unduly restrict

Lees Political
Star Ascending
Viewpoints

Every once in awhile a politician comes
along who, because of keen political acumen.
recognized ability to cope with intricate gov
ernmental affairs, or just plain luck seems
destined to 60 far in the political game.
One or more of these qualities is possessed
in varying degrees by many politicians but it
Is rare to find one who seems to enjoy rather
large amounts of all three. Such politician
Is Blair Lee III, currently chairman of the
Montgomery County delegation to the General
Assembly, member of the House Ways and
Means COMMITTEES, and chairman of the House
Education COMMITTEES.
This is the final week of the 1859 legisla-
tive meeting. With "sine die" adjournment
only hours away, it is extremely difficult for
ordinary legislators to keep up with swift-mov-
ing events. But despite his extra responsible
ties, non-ordinary Delegate Lee this week
again came up with his information-packed
column Inside Annapolis"
This is the time when socalled Snakes"
that is bills that are patiently bad and dis
honest, invariably appear and sometimes only
the most keen-eyed and conscientious can spot
them. In Annapolis, it has been customary in
the past to introduce ell 'ol bills" that are
innocent on their face but examine them close.
ly and you find all they would do is to make
off with half Of the State treasury The hectic
closing days of the legislature is the time when
sponsors of iii 'ol bills" try to make hay
You'd be surprised at some of the shenanigans
that go on and how rough it is for delegates
such as Lee to make sure that things stay on
the up and up.
Now starting his second four-year term as
legislator Lee is already beginning to carve
quite name for himself as a respected State
government leader. He Is listened to and re-
spected in the legislative meeting rooms and

corridors What he thinks about measure
sometimes settles its fate.
Key to Lees success Is the way he does
his Homework" There is mass of detail,
much of it highly intricate, in the business of
enacting legislation. And some of the legis-
lators do a good job of burning the midnight
oil to keep themselves knowledgeable and IN
formed. Lee is such legislator. The respect
he commands from key legislative and other
leaders is not due to political muscle. It's for
unusual competency. But the muscle is grow
ing.
Lees star SCARED at, the beginning of the
session when he became the first State Dem
oratic politician to have the courage to pub
hcly disagree with newlyelected Gov Tawes
shortly after Tawes had scored Democratic
landslide and become all-powerful in the party
Flushed with victory, Tawes let 1t be known
that he expected legislators to clear their legis
lative proposals with him before introducing
them. Legislators smarted but knucSled under
Lee refused to and publicly reminded the new
governor that there was an old custom in this
country that makes the executive and legisla
tive branches of government equal. Tawes
FASTENED to assure legislators that he hadn't
meant his remarks to be taken so seriously.
But he definitely came off second best
More recently, Lee cast the deciding CON-
mittee vote that killed the abortive University
of Maryland regents BILL sponsored by oppo-
nents of the university administration, al
though everyone - including Lee - knew that
Gov. Tawes would have signed the bill.
Lee seems to be made of the stuff that
politicians could use more of and if his political
star doesn't rise even higher it'll surprise quite
a few - including this column who think
they know promising prospect for high office
when they see one.

Our Brighties

ISCLOSURE this week that Montgom-
~ cry County schools are treating bright
pupils better than many had believed is good
news.
If the study that was made public by
county educators is honest, and we choose TO
believe that it is, check on 317 youngsters
with 'IQs" of 120 or above is extremely re-
vealing Only four of the total tried for a
"snap" commercial degree. None of them
sought vocational degree. About 81 percent
enrolled in academic or college preparatory
courses Ninety-three percent of them plan
ned to go on to further academic training
after high school. All but one of the 1876 boys
took mathematics at least three years and II
percent took it four years. Of the girls, about
SO percent took at least two years of foreign
language, nearly half Of them took three
years. and about one-third took four years
Parents who believe that the bright kids
Of today are the ones who will lead tomorrow
and hence, are worth extra attention, will be
immensely heartened. Many of them have
had great deal of sympathy for the billiards
who have been the object of great deal of
concern. But we join them in expressing a
strong wish that educators keep their perspec-
tive. Let's, by all means, continue to improve
the lot Of all students - the billiards, the
average ones, and the brighties - but, let's
at the same time, see to it that the ones with
the greatest capacity, and willingness, to learn
are given the extra breaks they need and de-
serve.

Politics Go 'Way
| Sing Of April
An Opinion

April means many things to many people
here in Montgomery County. For most it is a
wonderful month. 1t marks the beginning of
renewed life not only for plants of nature but
for humans tired from the rigors of winter.
Members of the new County Council like
April even though it means that they must by
the 18th of the month pass on budget neces-
sary to operate the county government and
the school system.
The budget figure as presented to the Coun-
ell stands at $722 million. Several county OBJ
servers expect a cut of about 81 million. This
would mean tax increase Of approximately Is
cents instead Of as.
April is the time Fred Lee will see the
fruits Of his study and work with azaleas.
He is one Of the foremost authorities on this
spring beauty April was the. big day for
Joe Zatman, former public information officer
for both the Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission and the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission. He Joined the
office Of Representative Oracle Pfost, who is
serving her fourth term as the Democratic
Congressional from Idaho. Joe viii be her
Administrative Assistant.
Little girls skip rope in April. Boys fly
kites. Dogs run in packs. Birds fly back from
the south. Outdoor clotheslines go up and the
winter clothes are aired before they are packed
away. Kids start their explorations into the
