In discussing the matter with
Acting County Manager Mason
Butcher.
Their first step will be to
urge the State Association of
County Commissioners to call
for a more equitable distribu-
ton at the groups meeting
August 26 in Ocean City. If this
action Is taken, the next move
would be to have appropriate
legislation prepared for intro
duction at next years session
Of the General Assembly.
Under the present system, so
per cent of all motor vehicle
registration fees and gas tax re-
ceipts goes to the State Roads
Commission; 80 per cent goes
to Baltimore City and the re-
naming 20 per cent is distri-
buted to the % counties and the
various municipalities on the
basis of their road mileage.
1t Is this latter provision
which has aroused the ire Of the
County Council.
Butcher told the council he
had discussed the question with
several other county engineers
and that they had agreed the
present method should be re-
vised.
Frederick County now gets
more money from these sources
than Montgomery" he declared,
because it has more road mile
age. Automobile registration is
not taken into consideration.
This is unfair"
While council members took
no action on any specific alter
native method of distribution,
they indicated that motor
vehicle registration should be a
major factor on which to base
the ALLEGATION OF funds.
Montgomery now receives
$500 a mile for the HOO miles
which it maintains, or a total
Of $880,000 annually.
Maryland gets a total of ST.
million a year from registra-
ton fees and the gas tax. After
the so per cent going to the
State Roads Commission is de-
Quoted, this leaves $36 million
to be distributed to Baltimore
City and the counties and incor-
porated towns.
Montgomery County has IA
per cent of the total motor
vehicle registration in the State.
THUS, II ALLEGATIONS were based
on registration, the county
would receive approximately IS
million a year, instead of the
present $S80,000.

nual Embarrassing campaign will
be handled by a large, broad
based committee representing
all geographic areas and all
Democratic groups within the
county which will operate UNI
der the direct supervision of
the State Central Committee,
according to the announce
ment. The shift in organiza-
tional structures from a general
chairman to a large working

widest possible contact in
achieving this ambitious goal.

Mrs. Ann Brown, vice chair
man of the central committee,
predicted the stimulus of a

promotional help of the Amer
lean Heritage Foundation and
the National Advertising Coun-
Gil would combine to make the
campaign dramatic success"
However, she added, "there is
no substitute for shoe leather
and door-to-dcor soliciting"
Maryland Record Cited
Mrs. Brown noted that last
year Maryland ranked first
among all the states in finan-
cial support of the Democratic
party and that Montgomery
County was second only to Los
Angeles County among the sub
divisions in money raised in the
Dollars for Democrats drive.
Because of these distinctions,
Mrs. Brown said, the Maryland
delegation was given choice
hotel accommodations and front

Many Southern delegates re-

But those favoring the juris-

as the Methodist Church moves
more and more toward a truly

examination of basic pattern OF
organization arising from the
consensus of 1899 is called for. "

that both denominations carry

have numerous publishing prof.

Target for End
0fSegregation
By CASPAR NAMES
Star Staf Writer

DENVER, Colo. April 29.-
The Methodist Church's Gen.
eral Conference yesterday re-
fused to set a target date for
abolition of the segregated
Central Jurisdiction while as
serting the denomination is
taking steps toward that goal
After five hours of some
times heated debate, parlia-
mentary snarls and impas-
stoned oratory the nearly 800
delegates in general sustained
part of the report relating to
the denominations jurisdic-
tional system.
The delegates voted over
whelmingly to accept the COM
MISSIONS recommendations that
the conference undertake no
basic change in the regional
juriSdictional system" AS now
constituted. the Methodist
church is divided into five geo.
graphical Jurisdictions and a
nationwide central jurisdiction
Having $4,000 of the denomi-
nations $4,000 Negro mem
berS.
Final action on the report.
which took four years to COM
plete. was to be taken today.
Charles c. Pavlin of Engle-
wood, N. j., is commission
chairman.
DeletiOn Asked
The action started when DR..
Harold c. Case, president of
Boston University, called for
deletion of a commission rec
ommendation that "the gen.
eral conference of 1860 under
take no basic change in the
Central Jurisdiction.
Pointing out the same para
graph contained a call for
aboliShing the Central Juris-
diction, Dr.. Case declared "it
is paradoxical to say that no
basic change is envisioned by
this report-and urge in the
same paragraph that any ac-
tion of the General Conference
be in the direction of abolition
OF the Central Jurisdiction"
The delegates approved the
deletion and then L. E. Crow
son OF Logan. w. Va, submitted
a substitute sentence asserting
the affirmative aim of the
church in promoting and en-
couraging the extension of the
Central Jurisdiction" 1t was
overwhelmingly approved.
I'VE are not segregated at
the upper echelons of the
church and there is nothing in
the law of the church that says
we are segregated in any way"
Mr.. Crowson declared.
Resistance Stiffens
But resistance stiffened con-
siderably when DR.. Case pro-
posed that the church set 1863
as a goal for the abolition of
the Central Jurisdiction.
IF we are speaking of abol-
iShing the Central Jurisdiction.
then in simple language we
should say so and establish a

a recent trend in American
professionalism. Only last week
three Lutheran church bodies,
originally based upon nation
alistic lines, merged to form
the American Lutheran Church,
with % million members. In
1862 four other Lutheran
church bodies expect to unite
into a 3.8 million member Lu-
theran Church in America.
Bishop Newell pointed out
the theological beliefs of the
Evangelical U. B. and the
Methodist Church "are prac-
Evening star., 1960-04-29

to unite the 100000 member
Evangelical U. B. Church with
the nearly 10-million-member
Methodist Church may be
completed by 1862. The aim is
to present such a plan to the
EUB's general conference two
years from now and to the
Methodist General Conference
Of 1864.
Before organic union can
take place the annual confer
ences of both denominations
would have to ratify the pro-
poSal.
The projected union follows

date for achieving the goal"
he said. The Central Jurisdic-
ton is a symbol of segregation
After 81 years we should
say what we intend to do about
this situation. The year 1868
provides enough time to achieve
the goal if we desire to do so. /"
The Rev. r. Laurence Dill.
jr., of Admission, Ala, warned
that such a move will defeat
the purpose of what we have
in mind. 1t will agitate and
crystalize opposition and will
serve to close minds. I would
remind you that Christ himself
never set a target date for the
coming of the Kingdom"
JurisdictiOnal System
A statement by Mr.. Parlin
that Negroes have a higher
percentage of representation in
important Offices because of the
Central Jurisdiction brought a
rejoinder from the Rev. Noah
Moore, jr., of Philadelphia, that
"a racial Jurisdiction is too
high price to pay for large
representation in the upper
echelons of a church."

The "Take Cover" signal, an
up and down or wailing sound,
will be heard at 2:28 pm. This
signal means to seek shelter

as soon as it is heard.
Also on Tuesday full scale
Conelrad drill will be conducted
for a half hour from 2 to 2:3O
pm.
The only broadcasting you

this area.
All television stations and
radio stations not assigned to
Conelrad must remain silent
during this nationwide drill.
While most of the Conelrad
program will originate from
the local Civil Defense head
quarters, it is planned to switch
to the secret government re-

ing the half hour period.
No public participation has
been requested for the test this
year, inasmuch as the drill is
primarily a control center eX-

"We hope all residents will
make an effort to listen to the
Conelrad test program and to
take stock of their own sur
vival preparedness measures"
said John J. Pokorny, County
Civil Defense Coordinator.
The control center exercise
will run from 2 pm. on Tuesday
throughout the night, and ur
to 7 pm. on Wednesday. 1t will

local governm e n t al branches
will be working on the problems
which would arise from an at

a considerable deficit in our

taken to remedy the imbalance between exports and
