Congressman Foley is looked upon In
Congress as one of the most liberal Demo
Gratis in the House. This was substantiated
when Mr.. Foley appointed as his administra.
tive assistant, Felix Putterman, longtime
leader of the Democratic Liberal Movement
sponsored mainly by the Wheaton. Democratic
Club, and a longtime employee of Robert
Nathan, leader of ADA
When Congressman Foley was asked IN
support Senator John +. Kennedy's bid in
Maryland's Presidential Primary, he hedged.
In fact, it is fairly certain Foley is a Hum.
phrey supporter. And this could hurt him,
especially among the non.liberaI block Of
Democrats In Montgomery County,
Charles Matthias is a Marylander of MANY
generations standing He is a member of ths
House OF Delegates at Annapolis His grand.
fathers were in the State Legislature and
also held other public offices. Matthias is
politician at heart and has made it a point
to learn all that he can about the issues in.
volved in a Congressional campaign.
He Is neither a liberal nor conservatives
He's Republican he says. He represents no
groups He expresses himself on every issue.
He is positive thinker and it appears certain
he will hammer away at Foleys first term
record in Congress
The Congressional campaign will be
fought with all the power of youth. experi.

An Opinion
Foley and Matthias
Expected to Win
An Opinion

There isn't much doubt John r. Foley
will win the Democratic nomination for an
other term in Congress in the May II Pri-
mary. Otherwise we are certain he would not
have made the rash statement that he will
support Republican Matthias for Congress if,
by any chance, Claude Taylor takes the
Democratic nomination from him.
1t is almost sure that Charles Mac Ma.
thias will have no difficulty in winning the
Republican nomination for Congress. This
is true even though he has two Montgomery
County Republicans as opponents Both jim
Buchanan and Byng Duvall have personal
following of loyal Republicans but both lack
the basic organizational support necessary to
win a primary Furthermore, most political
observers believe Matthias is a natural" for
Congress. He has the background, both
familywise and in legislative matters, the
knowledge of issues and the personality to
win elections.
People of the sixth district will see this
summer one OF the most lively political cam
paigns in history. Both candidates-FOley
and Mathias-are young lawyers. Both are
persOnabe. And that's about where the sim
ilarity ends.
John Foley hasn't lived too long in the
sixth district. He comes from the state Of
Minnesota. He has received most of the
heavy political financial support from labor
unions. In fact, he and his brother have
law firm in Washington which specializes in
labor cases.

The question of favoring or tending to
oppose local or a non-local person is tough
one 1t is a question that really shouldn't
be asked or, if it is it shouldn't become ma.
ior issue. The only real criterion that should
be used in the hiring of manager is his COM
petence and skill-not whether he is local or
non local. Actually, a local person has an
advantage over a non-local individual in that
he knows the people and the geography. But
local ties can sometimes be awkward. The
non-local individual could have an offsetting
advantage in that there is no question con-
corning his ability to come into the area and
be completely objective in his dealings with
friendships. So it could be argued with logic
that non-local and local applicants are pretty
much equal in this respect.
The complexity and the toughness of
county counciman's job is clearly brought
home when the time comes to select new

Manager Decision
Is a Tough One
Viewpoints

About so individuals have applied for the
job of Montgomery County Manager, posi-
ton that paid erstwhile manager, NJ L. Reese,
professional government administrators hail
ing from all parts of the country Probably
the reason most of them are applying is be-
cause of the higher pay Maybe some like the
idea of being located adjacent to the nations
capital.
The County Council, who must do the
hiring, has been busy with the new budget
and coming hearings and getting ready for the
current legislative session. AS result little
or nothing has been done on the hiring of a
new manager.
But let's face it," one councilman OBJ
served the other day, "we're standing still in
certain areas where we should be moving
ahead Any person who is in an acting ca
pacity naturally defers certain action pending
the arrival of permanent person."
On the salary question, we do not believe
that $4,000 is too much to pay capable adj
ministrator If he is good, as he goes about
the important business of handling millions
of dollars year in public funds he can save
taxpayers thousands of dollars with the

is not SO competent can, through his inept-

Teacher Pay

Montgomery County, or THE
Villain of Pay Scale Gap"
Some thoughts concerning the
recent salary talks in An
napoils: a great deal has been
said about the high salaries paid
teachers in Montgomery Coun-
ty. Some legislators have even
gone so far as to suggest an
upper limit on salaries, until
other counties catch up. Would
these same legislators suggest
that a cost of living index be
set up and a ceiling be set for
this until the other counties
catch up?
Would the legislators then
set the tax rates in the local
communities in 'helping" the
counties catch up? Perhaps
some Legislators feel that each
county is exactly the same and
should have the same curricu-
lum, the same school hours, the
same kind of buildings, the
same length of school year, and
the same concepts of education.
This is not only a narrow con-
cept of education, but it de-
prives the people of the local dis
trict of the right to determine
the quality of education they de-
sire for their children.
Is the State Legislature, I'M
der the "big stick" of the Cover
nor attempting to pass off its
responsibility to the local COM
munity by penalizing one of the
counties recognized as an edu-
cational leader in the state?
And leave legislation to us: this
title resounds to the tune of a
high pressure campaign of a
local public utility. Is this
news catching" reporting or
real sentiment Of a legislator?
In a statement attributed to
one of our State legislators it
was implied that the fiscal re-
sponsibility for education should
be left up to the legislators who
were experts" in the field.
Does this mean that you have to
be a legislator in order to UNI
derstand the State budget? In
1913 the State was financing
1920 of the cost of public educa-
tion. Last year it assumed only
$3.50 of the cost. In ability to
pay, the State ranks 10th
among the states in per capita
income, yet we rank 37th in per
capita state expenditures for
education.
When most of the wealth of
the Nation was concentrated in
real estate, it was reasonable to
assume that this was a good
source of income (from taxes
for educational purposes. More
recent studies show that real
estate represents approximately
$3.50 of the wealth of the nation
Is it reasonable to ask that u
of the wealth of the nation as
sumo 2/3 of the responsibility
for education? Why should moi
the State, with wider tax base
powers, and therefore greater
ability to equalize the tax re
sponsibility, assume a greater
portion of the cost of education?
In effect, this could reduce real
estate taxes while actually con
tributing more for education.
