Members Of the Montgomery
County legislative delegation
were given citizen advice last
night on how to push for reap
portionment of The Maryland
General Assembly.
The advice they received was
from Is speakers representing
most of the influential civic Or
CARNATIONS in the county.
First, the lawmakers were
told to accept no compromises
and hold out for reapportion-
ment of both houses Of the
Legislature along population
lines.
This was the proposal of
Royce Hanson, the American
University political science pro-
lessor who serves as executive
vice president of the Maryland
Committee for Fair Represent
alton.
The committee. hoping to
end years of domination of the
Maryland Legislature by rep
resentatives of rural counties,
wants the balance of power
shifted to the more populous
urban areas.
Under Mr.. Hanson's plan, the
four larger counties and Balti-
more City would gain a total
of 20 delegates and IA senators.
This would help end what the
committee feels is a "mal-ap-
portionment" under the present
system.
Members of the Montgomery
County delegation, who will
have to sell reapportionment
in Annapolis when the Legisla-
ture convenes January 4, in
Dictated they thought Mr.. Han
sons product would be unmar-
ketable.

Montgomery
Council Asks
Study Of Itself

The Montgomery County
Council is going to take q long
look at its own operation with
the aim of increasing efficiency
and cutting costs,
After - years under the
charter form Of government, it
is time to review and evaluate
the councils basic structure,
the members agreed yesterday.
County Manager Mason A.
Butcher was directed to look
into the possibilities Of obtain
ing q thorough study Of the
county government, possibly by
q foundation or a citizens
committee.
Mrs. Stella B. Werner, who
has been q council member
since 1850, suggested that the
welfare program Is an example
lof too much duplication OF
leffort.
Here is a place where we
Icould do q cheaper and better
job If we centralize family
services" she said. Cease
studies show that the same
people are seeking aid from
tn Welfare Department. the
Health Department and the
board Of education. The whole
family should be treated as a
unit to avoid such duplication.
Council President william F
Hickey, presiding over his FIRST
meeting following his unani-
nous election earlier in the
day, concurred that "A study
is needed of our own house
keeping, department by de-
partment. as well as a review
Of the basic structure Of the
council"
However, Mr.. Hickey added
he would be opposed to any
study that merely added to the
burden of red tape. He declared
1t is Mr.. Butchers perogative
to decide the type Of study best
suited to the county.

Citizens Back
ArtsCenter

Montgomery County needs an
arts center to serve the needs
of its own citizens rather than
one designed to attract large
conventions.
This was a recommendation
to the county council yesterday
by a citizens committee ap-
pointed last year to explore
the possibilities of a cultural
and civic center
The 10 man committee
headed by Jerry Cook. presi-
dent of the Montgomery
County Chamber of Com
merce, urged that the council
provide a 35-to-50 acre site for
an arts center, possibly ad-
jacent to a proposed new loca-
ton for a county junior college
which presumably would be
located in the Rockville area.
There is an almost total
lack Of desirable facilities to
accommodate stage produc-
tions. concerts. sports activities.

ences," the report said.
There also is a lack of suit
able facilities where our citi-
zens can participate in and en-
JOY the presentation of the Gre
alive and performing arts.
Present accommodations con-
Sist Of small private auditori-
ums and school gymnasiums.
Most of these buildings have
either serious physical short
comings or limited availability"
The study also said there is
"a long-range need" for a civic
auditorium designed so that
the building could be converted
to other uses.
Committee members found
no need, however, for an in
door sports arena in Mont
gomery, because Of existing IA
cilities in Washington.
Council President William F..
Hickey promised that the
council would study the pro-
posal.

Subdivision
OKd in Path
Of Route 24O

Plans for q subdivision in
the path Of the proposed south
east leg Of Route 240 were APP
proved today by the Montgom-
cry County Planning Board.
The subdivision proposal won
approval on q 8 to / vote after
10 heated argument over the
wisdom of authorizing new
home construction which would
be in the way Of the road.
Route 240 now stops at Pooks
Hill. A route to carry it into
Washington has not definitely
been selected. but the State
Roads Commission in 1852 pro-
posed the southeast leg which
would run from Pooks Hill
through the rear of the Navl
Merical Center to join East
West highway at Rock Creek.
Voting to approve the sub
division plans today were j.
Newton Brewer, w. Lawson
King and John A. Floyd. Don
aid E. Gingery opposed it, and
Louis Gravelle abstained.
$4,000 Homes Planned
The argument developed
during discussion of a devel-
oper's request for permission
to build Is homes in the path
Of the proposed road. The
homes. he said, would sell for
$50, 900 each.
Mr.. Gingeryi. noting trucks
are now barred from the Rock
Creek section Of the Capital
beltway, said the Bethesda
bypass was sorely needed.
Mr.. Brewer, however, said
the road would not be needed
If a deal could be worked out
with National Capital Parks to
allow trucks to use the Rock
Greek beltway link.
Not on Schedule
The SRC. in a letter, asked
the planning board to save land
for the road but noted the prof.
ect was not included in present
construction schedules.
They want us to sit here and
deprive people of their property
year after year after year." said
Mr.. Brewer. This ((road) is
not on any plan. either ours or
the State Roads Commissions"
I'VE have played along with
the State Roads Commission
ever since I've been on this
commission. They haven't done
anything"
Mr.. Gingery, defending the
project, said it would be "a
public injustice" to approve de-
velopment plans that would
scuttle the road proposal.

100000 Theft
HoIdsTWoMen

The FBI and the Air Force
ONCE Of Special Investigations
today continued an investiga-
ton into the disappearance Of
100000 in airplane parts in
which two Charles County, Md,
gambling casino operators were
arrested last night.

Club is operated by the Air
Force to encourage interest of
military and civilian personnel
in flying. The FBI said the loot
included strut assemblies, n.y.
draulic pumps, engine supports
and miscellaneous parts.
Others Believed Involved
Basis of the continuing in
vestigation is the fact that the
equipment was in heavy crates,
. leading investigators to surmise
that others are involved in
moving the property.
, Robert j. Lally. assistant spe-
cial FBI agent in charge Of the
Baltimore field Office, said
most of the airplane parts were
recovered at Owens home in
La Plata.
The FBI said both men were
charged in q complaint filed be-
! fore United States Commits
sioner Samuel H. Meloy in
Upper Marlboro, Md, with re-
ceiving "a large quantity Of ma
terial stolen from United States
Air Force property"

bond each and a hearing was set
for December 5.

MODERN
MANNERS
Behavior on That First Job
Can Be All Important
BY CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

During this time of year,
many young people will be
graduating from either high
school or college. Also there
are those who, while not
graduating this year, will
take temporary jobs for the
summer. 1t therefore seems
apropos to have a discussion
about how to behave on that
first job. temporary or other
wise.
The first and most impor-
tant thing to remember is
that the niceties of social re-
lationShip deserve the same
observance in an office as
they do in your daily out
side contacts. Also it is a
must that you take your job
seriously. Don't let the fact
that it is a temporary one,
for a month or two, influ-
ence your attitude toward it.
Make every effort to, do
the job well, regardless of
how small it may be. Don't
take the attitude that your
main object is to make a
little money, so why bother
to do more than enough to
get by on.
Pointers
The following are just a
few tips on how to mind
your manners" on any job
you may hold:
Make a point to arrive on
time and greet your fellow
employees with a cheerful
Good morning" Assume an
air of grownup dignity
you are grown up now-re-
member? Loud talking and
giggling are definitely out of
place. Taking time out every
hour or so to pretty up in
the waShroom is definitely
unnecessary.
Overstaying your lunch
hour, thereby holding up the
other fellow will not make
you popular with your CO.
workers. Starting to get
ready to leave Is minutes
ahead Of quitting time, isn't
so good either.
Powdering your nose,
combing your hair, applying
lipstick, while you are on the
job, is completely out of
place. Humming and whis-
ting or swapping chewing
gum (Which you shouldn't
be chewing in the first place.
is certainly not showing any
consideration for those seated
near you.
Both the young men and
girls should make every effort
to dress well. Simplicity
should be the keynote. The

Hero Planned 1t
An interesting note is that
the plans we're drawn by George
Gordon Meade, a lieutenant
general who was later a hero
at the Battle of Gettysburg.
The structure, 158 feet high,
was completed in 1858. 1t is
only l foot shorter than the
talleSt lighthouse in the United
States.
In April, 1926, the lighthouse
with the surrounding 10 acres,
was decided to the State of New
Jersey and maintained by the
United States Government un-
til 1941. During World War II
it was placed under the jurisdic-
ton of the Coast Guard. In
1946 it was returned to the
State and on July 10, 1851,
Barnegat Lighthouse and its
surrounding land was desig-
mated a State park.
There is an admission fee to
the lighthouse of 10 cents for
each adult, with children under
II, who must be accompanied
by an adult, admitted free.
There is swimming and bath
ing around the lighthouse with
lifeguards on duty, a bath house
and picnic facilities.
