As the campaign moves into high

Unlike the so-called religious
issue" and the question Of whether
Jackie Kennedy spends more money
for clothes than Pat Nixon, this
is one of the legitimate arguments
of the present campaign. The
Democrats have not yet answered
it effectively.
Some of the backroOm strate-
gists think Kennedy ought to ig-
more the problem. They reason that
the more he talks about it the
more it is bound to become a sub
ject of argument. And, they reason
further, the more arguments you
have in a campaign the more votes
you might lose.
But the Republicans will not let
the Democrats get away with this
tactic, any more than the Demo-
Gratis would If the situation were
reversed.

Prof. Samuel H. Beer of Har-

Assessment
Instructions
Mix-Up Noted

Differing opinions of two
county agencies over assess
ment appeal procedures have
taxpayers wondering which one
to follow.
The dispute came to light last
week when the Appeal Tax
Court announced that those de-
string to protest their 1860 real
estate assessments have until
May 1 to request a hearing be-
fore the Court.
Forms for filing the assess
ment appeals may be obtained
in Room ia of the Courthouse
or by calling poplar 2-2121, ex-
tension PAL, the court stated.
At the same time, a call to
Supervisor of A S e m n S
Wilton T. Allen ELECTED the fact
that his assessment notices give
taxpayers no more than 20 days
after receipt of the notice within
which to appeal to his office.
Appeal Tax Court officials
explained their statement was
issued "fOr the purpose of cIari-
flying the rights of taxpayers
with respect to protests and ap-
peals they may wish to make
under the present assessment
and tax laws"
A court spokesman said the
action was taken after many
residents called in person and on
the telephone to inquire about
the language in Aliens assess
ment notices.
"They wanted to know why
they couldn't appeal directly to
the Appeal Tax Court, and why
the time limit was so short"
the spokesman said.
Allen said his instructions on
the wording of the assessment
notice come from the State De-
partment of Taxation and AS
Sessments.
1--WE have to continue this
procedure until told differently"
he declared.
He assured residents, how
ever, that even if they don't
protest their assessments to his
office within the 20-day limit,
they can still appeal to the APP
peal Tax Court.
So far, his office has sent out
between 10000 and $4,000 assess
ment notices since last July 1.
Most of the notices are on newly
acquired property.

County Manager Melvin
w. Reese said this week he
intends to go ahead with
plans to make a 35 to 40-car
parking lot out of the half
acre tract now occupied by the
home of the late Miss Name
Vinson, on Jefferson ST., behind
the County Court House, Rock
vile.
At the same time, an Under
current of resistance to the idea
of using the tree-shaded, historic
mid-city site for county employee
parking began to take shape
among some city and county
civic and service organizations.
Reese has said he plans to
save as many sound trees on
the site as he can and will move
Towering bushes to a marginal
strip around the lot.
Terms of the county's con-
tract with the Vinson estate,
made before Miss Mamie died
February IL, were that the
county would pay $87, 1874 for the
approximately $4,000 square feet
of land. Also, that the county
would take possession so days
after Miss Nannie's death. p
Unless the county changes its
mind, therefore, it will take over
the site after April II and, start
razing the 14-room Vinson home
and black-topping its spacious
yard.

Reese Will Push Plan
For Employe Parking

eanw While, the Sentinel's
front page editorial last week,
calling on the county to make a
park of the land, rather than a
parking lot, has received some
support.
At least one city organization
the Rockville Woman's Club
has already written a letter
of protest to the County Council,
and others have said they intend
to do the same.
Among many individuals who
have lent their support to max
ing a park of the Vinson prop
erty is Col. Lathrop E. Smith,
former School Board head and
now president and prime mover
in the Rock Creek Watershed
Association.
Col. Smith offered his full
support of any move toward
establishing Vinson Memorial
Park, as did numerous others
who declined to allow their
names published until organiza-
tons they represent can meet
for an official vote of support.
The county building and
Peoples as well as Circuit Court
now park on two lots: one
abutting the proposed Vinson
tract with 149 spaces and an
other behind the county building
with 292 spaces.
The smaller lot in front of
the county building has nine
spaces for public parking,
limited to two hours. The rear
lot has SO public spaces, SINH
larly limited, or a total for the
two of SO public spaces out of a
gross AL spaces.
1t is a common sight to see
scores of empty parking spaces
on both lots, every day-partic-
ularly those spaces reserved for
county and State cars which are
in daily field use.
When the petit and grand
juries are not sitting, for in
stance, 38 spaces are unassigned.
Similarly, the six spaces re-
served for the Board of Appeals
are largely unused. 1t is widely
known that favored county en-
ployes occupy spaces set aside
for-but unused by-high rank
ing county chiefs whose elected
or appointed offices require
them to be at the county seat
a day or less each week.
, Six spaces set aside for mem
bers of the working press are
used by one or two reporters
regularly and one space reserved
for telephone repairmen is more
often unused than not.
Observes noted last week and
earlier this week that 88 spaces
on the smaller lot in front of
the county building, marked
Parking by Permit Only"
stayed about half filled, with
autos coming and going reg
ularly.
A longtime county employee
who would not reveal her
identity, confirmed that ~
sympathy for a move to estab-
lish a parking lot was wide
spread in the county building,
and (2) that rank file county
workers vie enthusiastically to
park in unauthorized, but
usually empty spaces on the lot
to the rear of the building.

The book will be financed by

behind the undertaking and
give the representatives all pos.
sible cooperation.

200 pages will be distributed
