AS one taxpayer to another, !,
for one certainly do not feel that
we, the colored people of Mont
gomery County should sit back
without a fight and let our only
high school be taken over for
office space to satisfy few mar
row-minded people of this county.
1t seems to me that we, as the
colored race, have been getting
the run-around all through this
indignation episode. We have five
colored schools in the county but
neither the Board of Education
nor the superintendent have seen
fit to integrate one of them.
The latest report says integra-
ton will be effected by 1860. To
me, this is an evasion of what
should be faced now. The future
is promised to none Of us but the
present is Now.

There is no doubt j. Willard Tawes has a
group of powerful friends throughout the State
who are not political leaders of his Democratic
Party or any other party. And ii is also true
Mr.. Tawes will continue TO keep his friendship
with these people. Some observers believe they
have seen results Of the influence many have
exerted already on the Governor.
Governor Tawes has been extremely wise in
all OF the moves he has made since he first got
the desire to be Governor of Maryland His plan
ming was almost perfect. And in his climb to the
high position he now occupies, he used the advice
and the money Of many persons outside the
realm OF politics. There is no doubt these close
friends will continue to have his ear on many
matters
There are at least four groups of persons who
will try to have direct pipeline into the Cover
nors office. The old Democratic leaders who
helped Mr.. Tawes along his successful political
path viii continue TO have influence The upand.
coming Democratic leaders now occupying Off
cial positions will command respect. a group OF
nonpoliticans who have also helped Mr. Tawes
In his quest for high office certainly will have a
certain amount OF advice Mr. Tawes will listen
TO on occasion. And then there is a small group
OF personal friends who the Governor has relied
on for sage opinions from time TO time. Then,
don't forget Mrs. j. Willard Tawes; she is wise in
the field Of politics
II will be up to Governor Tawes to sift the
tremendous amount Of advice that will flow to
Annapolis from all over the State and choose that
which he believes will be best for all concerned.

education on a tuition basis. Since Poppa can
expect to get his money back in the form of
lower premiums, he could hardly object to paying
few dollars for Junior to take the course.
But such fantasies pleasant though they may
be, are apt to remain just that unless the school
system or the community can actvate some plan
for broadening the program There are several
potential means of accomplishing this. To mention
a few:
Some form of State aid - such as the pos
sibility of impementing a State Public school law
provision which declares that training cars shall
be furnished and maintained by State police (The
superintendent of schools has been directed to
find out whether this means what it says and il
so, whether it comes complete with teeth.
Use of school bus drivers, specialytraned
for the purpose, to replace higherpaid certified
teachers in the behind-thewheel phases of the
training
Use of mechanical trainers which simulate
actual driving conditions in the classroom per
haps you saw Dody Goodman operate one Of
these with rather chaotic results, on recent Jack
Paar show) Current hitch: the gadgets cost in
the neghborhood of $4,000 each.
An argument with major car manufacturers
for the free use of a certain number of vehicles,
in exchange for the advertising benefits inherent
in the plan. tSome area dealers now contribute all
vehicles to the program, but they have frustrat-
ing tendency to demand the return of their cars
in midsemester)
However 1t is to be done. the case for expand
ing the program is a strong one.

Part of McKeldin's reasoning, apparently

County Comment
Driver Training
Is in Spotlight

One of the most worthwhile programs in our
it also is one of those most in need of shot
of financial adrenalin.
With the inadequate facilities now available,
the training is offered on an elective basis to
slightly more than half of the countys 18th grad
ers. Many more would like to take it, Ideally
in the view of the school board and adminstra
ton, it should be made compulsory for all stu.
dents in the 10th grade
Such view can be supported by a number
of quite convincing arguments, most obvious and
cogent of which IS the apparently welldocumented
principle that driver training lives. In the
words of one board member: who views it as
indispensable to school system: There's little
point in our educating child who is going to
go out and kill himself short time later"
This thought derives from than mere
conjecture that youths who have had the
training are safer drivers. Most insurance
companies, for example, offer substantially
reduced premiums TO such trained drivers i'm
the critical under.25 age category.
Insurance companies being rather notorious
for their lack of sentimentality, we may assume
their offer is based on demonstrable statistics
rather than wishfu thinking.
All of this leads to some interesting specua-
tons: for one, the thought that compulsory driver
training would in the long return an actual
dollar profit to the community as a whole, by
bringing about reduced insurance rates for all
In the shorter run, it provides forceful argu-
ment in favor of expanding summer school driver

Salary Hikes

| T would be understandable if the public
greeted with something less than I'M
restrained enthusiasm the recent rash of
salary hikes.
There was that business in Annapolis
when many legislators said they didn't know
they were voting themselves a so percent
increase in their $50 per day expense ceiling
after having increased that same expense
ceiling by 100 percent only year before.
Last year, the former County Council
raised our capable county managers salary
by about $1,000 = in one year to the
$4,000 mark to make him the highest
salaried public official in the State.
And now the school board has decided it
would like to raise the school superinten-
dents annual salary from SIT, 900 to $4,000
in one year.
There are few serious-thinking citizens
who will quarrel with the wish of the County
Council and the school board to pay their
top administrators good salaries These
salaries should be high! We are the
wealthiest county in the State and we'd be
foolish if we didn't pay our key public SER
wants well.
There is room for argument however,
on whether there should be such dis
parity between the salary of the mayor of
Baltimore City ($15000) and the Montgom-
cry County manager. Similarly, it seems a
little strange that the school superintendent
of Baltimore City (three times as populous
as Montgomery County, should earn SD, 900
while the Montgomery school superintendent
is getting $4,000. By the same token, it
seems little strange that the Montgomery
County school superintendent should be paid
more than his counterpart in the District of
Columbia.
Either Baltimore City is wrong or Mont
gomery County is wrong. Probably point

McKeIdin Bows Our
On Favorite Topic
Viewpoints

Il know that no one ever be sure exactly
what justice is" Gov. Theodore r. McKedn said
two days before leaving office, "but 1 do know
what mercy is"
He was discussing, of course, the subject of
committing death sentences to life imprisonment
"a subject with which he is somewhat familiar.
In his eight years as governor Mckeldin spared
the lives of 16 doomed persons who otherwise
would have died on the gallows or (more recent
ly) in the gas chamber. He let five be executed
for their crimes.
1t was highly appropriate that McKeldins
final statement only two days before he was
replaced by TaweS = should be on the commuta-
ton of death penalties. Probably he will be more
remembered in Maryland history for hise views
on this subject than any other.
There is on the subject of cIemency, no
absolute standard" McKeIdin said. And he
went on: "When it comes to determining the
fate of a human being, would rather err
the side of mercy, than to mistake justice"
Most of the 81 condemned persons whose
sentences came before McKeldn for review had,
of course, been convicted of brutal crimes Those
who see capital punishment as societys method
of revenge against persons who commit heinous
crimes have been exercised over McKeldins
leniency.
There was the of Lott Glover, 81, who
savagely beat to death Beltsvle filling station
operator in $44 robbery McKeldn let him die.
Nor did he intervene on behalf of c. Edward

Spare Us This!

HE proposal now in the General Assem-
bly, to enact law permitting the State
Board of Movie Censors to label certain films
"obscene" and, thus, bar persons Is and un-
der from seeing them is silly
1t should be obvious to all that censor
ship in any form is odious. Those who sup
port the proposal must be hard put to JUS
tify their stand. There is no censorship Of
television and radio. Nor, of course, of news
papers. Or magazines. Why single out the
movie industry?
This sort of thinking is the worst form
of transferring responsibility from the parent
to the State. Must we have the complete
welfare state SO soon?) If the parent doesn't
care whether the child sees the film, is it
the States business?
From purely practical standpoint, the
law places an almost impossible burden on
the theater manager. Must he play police
man at all times, interrogating one teenager
after another on the subject of his age? And
how is he to know who is telling the truth?
Should teenagers be made to produce their
drivers permit to gain admission to a movie?
Supposng they don't drive?
We are undoubtedly being reginented
more and more every day but, please, spare
us this one!

Tawes Sits Firmly
In Drivers Seat
An Opinion

II is apparent that Governor j. Willard Tawe.
plans to exercise his full authority as head of
the State and as leader of the Democratic Party.
Mr.. Tawes should not find il too difficult to
run things as he sec fit lie received tremendous
vote from the people OF the State. And the fact
that he kept the Democratic Party together dur
ing the campaign for the first time in many years
should make him particularly strong during the
next four years.
One must remember j. Willard Tawes has
been AN astute politician for many years He
knows the ropes. And he also knows whose
feathers 10 smooth and whose he can ruffle
and get away with IT,
There are indications Governor Tawes intends
to be a steady.working chief executive. lie will
probably occupy his office in the State House
much more than his predecessor. lie plans to
keep close watch on the activities Of the great
Democratic majority Of III 10 10 in the House
Mr. Tawes has surrounded himself with a
competent group OF persons who make up his
official party. And he plans to be in constant
conference with them and the leaders in the
Maryland Senate and House OF Delegates.
The fact that the Governor has called for a
daily conference with Democratic leaders OF both
Houses Of the Legislature indicates he intends
TO exercise a powerful role in that arm Of the
government as well as his own. The new Cover
nor has even asked legislators in his party to let
him see any proposed controversial bills before

CD Confusion

no you run or stay put in case of atomic
u attack?
Apparently, we gather, the existing plan
for most of this area so far as Federal and
State civil defense officials are concerned is
to run. Although some of the civil defense
people themselves seem to be all mixed up
on the score.
Of course, if you run (you will, pre-
Sumably, run into rather large amount of
radioactivity and we are told that such radio
activity is not conducive to the best of health.
Also, of course, if you run you'll probably
be running up and down in one spot = the
way you do on a dance floor these days -
because it'll be so crowded. Take the 100000
or so souls who will be fleeing into Mary
land from the District and add to that Mont
gomery's population of 100000 and night
marish situation that is almost impossible to
visualize will result It's safe to say that
your car won't be able to move two feet in
two days on the hopelessly clogged highways.
Last month, the county's civil defense
advisory board prepared comprehensive
report on the subject in which they suggested
that the county lis completely unprepared
to cope with the consequences of a Soviet
thermonuclear attack on Washington"
For this they drew the fire of top civil
defense administrators in the Nation and in
the State On the basis of our limited knowl-
edge of the facts, the county civil defense
officials are much closer to the truth than
their State and National colleagues.
In the county report, there was clear,
unequivocal statement that it's infinitely
better to stay put = in a shelter - than it
is to rum Both Federal and State civil de-
Tense officials in the past have seemed to
issue one conflicting statement after another,
recommending first one type of shelter and
then another, to such a degree that the public
is hopelessly confused. The county report
was by comparison, clear and concise and
well thought out Those responsible are to
be commended.

On the question of Indignation
to use Mr.. Bernstein's own words
"bewildering" it is very bewilder-
ing to us that Mr.. Bernstein could
think there could be a more eff
fective method of desegregating
Carver than converting it to adj
ministration uses.
The citizens and taxpayers of
this area are familiar with this
situation. However, your paper
has countrywide circulation to tax
payers and parents who are af-
fected by school expenditures in
all areas of the county. | am
sure they could not have gath
cred true picture of the Carver
controversy from the editorial
and news coverage by your pa.
per. l am equally sure that these
citizens and taxpayers in other
parts of the county would appre.
ciate tax dollars spent for school
construction in such a way that
they would contribute to property
values and the well being of any
community rather than detract
from it. How else can any COM
munity in Montgomery County
stand on its own feet and pay its
own way in these expensive years
ahead.
Again let me thank the school
board for their action on Carver
and our Junior High School. l
do hope for the sake of fairness
and the enlightenment of county
residents outside our area that
your paper can make more OBJ
jective report on the proceedings.
