Judge Shure Sweeps
Both Party Primaries

Z The November election for a
Montgomery County Circuit
Court judgeship was decided in
advance yesterday by Judge
Ralph G. Shure's sweep of both
p the Democratic and Republican
primaries.
The 49-year-old jurist. ap-
pointed to the Sixth Judicial
Circuit bench a year ago by
Maryland's Gov. Tawes, became
the first Montgomery County
judge to win the nomination of
both parties in a contested
primary.
One previous candidate for
the Circuit Court-Judge Sted-
man Prescott, now sitting on
the Maryland Court Of Appeals
won in both primaries in 1852
but had no opposition.
15-Year Term
The double victory assures
Judge Shure of election in
November to a 15-year term on
the bench at an annual salary
of $l9,50O.
Judge Shure, a Democrat,
was opposed by three other
Democrats and a Republican
on the Democratic primary
ballot. Unofncial returns from
all Of the county's SO precincts
gave him a 12,l44-vote total,
some 1900 votes more than his
closest rival, Attorney Plummer
M. Shearin of Silver Spring.
On the Republican side,
Judge Shure polled BITS votes,
putting him comfortably ahead
Of two Republicans and his
three Democratic opponents. In

Democrats in Maryland come
to recognize that the reaction
airy policies of the Democratic
Party in Maryland will never
be truly representative of the
best political interests of the
State" Senator Morse said.
All major party leaders had
backed Senator Kennedy. He
scored high in all sections of
the State, and in Baltimore
City ran 4 to l ahead of Sena-

Maryland's "a convention

a total of 2941a, an Associated
Press poll showed. To be nomi-
mated 761 votes are needed.
Maryland's "a convention
delegates must vote for Senator
Kennedy on the first ballot at
least, and thereafter as long
as they think he has a chance.
In the past, delegations have
considered themselves COM
mitted for only one ballot.
The total vote in the presi-
Dental primary was about one
third the number of registered
Democrats in the State. Sena-
tor Kennedy's exceeded by
5000 votes the previous high
of $4,000 received in the 1856
primary by Senator Kefauver
of Tennessee.

The Waste Makers

The likelihood is that when
ever you've blown your top
about the defective function
ing of one of your new, hand
some purchases, you've COM
planned to your family and
friends, not the maker or dis
tributor of the product. You've
probably felt it's futile for you,
as a lone consumer, even to try
to face UP to corporation.
Actually, what you should
know, says Vance Packard,
is that this corporation tends
to "over-react to criticism" of
its products. "One strong let
ter, neatly typed, addressed to
the president can create con-
Germ in the executive suite (even
though the president himself
is probably spared from seeing
the letter.. Two letters of pro-
test will create panic. Three
letters Of protest will create
pandemonium." In short. next
time you feel you've been sold
an "indisputable lemon" aim
your protests where they will
count.
The likelihood also is that
despite the rising talk that
function is more important
than fashion. you still think of
a new product in terms of the
newest model. AS a prudent
consumer, though, you can
make life a lot more pleasant
for yourself, says Packard, by
buying your new products just
before restyled models are. to
be introduced for the new"
year.

Congressional
Viewpoint
Sen John Marshall Butler

"The Circus and the Ringmaster"
1t would be we'll for all of us to
realize and remember that the
President of the United States is
Dwight David Eisenhower. He de-
termines our foreign policy, he
sets the course for our domestic
affairs and, most important point
for every member of Congress to
retain during this unusual session,
he signs the bills into law And
he will continue to be our Presi-
dent until Inauguration Day next
January.
1t therefore behooves the presi-
dental nominees of both parties
to consider the policies and philo-
sophy of a man who has led this
country to an annual one-half tril-
lion dollar gross national product
during the last eight years. Fur
thermore, as we begin this extended
session, which probably would not
have been necessary if greater
effort at legislating had been made
earlier this year, we should keep
in mind that we are in Washington
to act on certain Legislative items
carried over from before the con-
