College Increase Seen
These figures were cited for

Petition Victory

The unofficial total of 81,
202 petitioners signatu res
from SO precincts in Mont
gomery County has surpassed
all expectations according to
William Romack, jr., Petition
Day chairman.
The petition was for reap
portionment Of the Maryland
Legislature based on popula.
ton.
This outstanding demon
stration by the under-repre-
scented citizens of Montgom-
cry County should offer con-
vincing proof to the leaders
of both political parties that
voters expect them to live up
to platform promises made
in 1885," according to Romack.

Mac M~,..,aa Wins Congressional Seat
Kennedy Next President
County Voters Establish Record

$4,000, but the party's Presiden-
tial choice polled less than
$1,000.
In nonpartisan balloting,
county voters selected three
members of the Board of Edu-
cation, only two of whom were
involved in actual contests.
Mrs: Lucy Kicker and Mrs. Lu.
ellie Maurer were elected from
the Fourth and the Fifth Dis
tricts, respectively, over com.
bined conservative and indepen-
dent opposition, while Clifford
X. Beck was returned to office
by a token vote, in view of the
fact that he was without opposi.
ton.
County voters also balloted
on 10 referendum questions,
three of m involving
changes in the County Charter.
The outcome of balloting on two
of the referendum questions re.
Elected an apparent concern for
county finances.
The voters struck down a pro-
posal that would have boosted
the pay of individual County
Council members from $50 to
$50 for each meeting attended,
and rejected another charter
change which would have per-
mitted county officials to make
expenditures in excess of 1000
for emergency use without 60
ing through the formality Of
competitive bidding.
The complexity of the ballot,
largely due to the 10 referen-
dunn questions, isolated the of

pervisors from telephone callers

election returns were informed

Whittier told the board a pro-
posal to utilize the services Of
more teachers on a 12-month
basis was curtailed during the
past year due to limited budget
funds. Originally, he said, 375
teachers had been scheduled TO
participate in the program, but
because of a reduction in the
budget request, the number
was pared to 6S.
The board received for study
recommendation from DR..
Whittier which would limit the
participation of students in
Embarrassing activities for
school purposes. Under his pro
posal, students would not be
permitted to engage in sales
campaigns off the choo1
grounds, and such campaigns
within the schools would be
limited to school publications or
school productions.
The ban would not apply TO
the taking and selling Of pic
lures Of pupils, whether in
groups or individually, which
Dr. Whittier described as "a
service to the parents and the
school -. and considered an
acceptable practice" He noted,
however, that "the school
should keep control Of this ac-
tivity."

Montgomery County vot-
ers helped elect Sen. John
F. Kennedy as the nations
next President, but by their
refusal to go all the way
down the line with the Demo
cratic ticket, played a major
role in the election of Republi-
can Charles MAC" Matthias to
Congress from Maryland's Sixth
District.
DESPITE the convincing Ken
nedy victory, Republican Ma
thias ousted Rep. John r. Foley
from his Capitol Hill office,
largely on the strength of ap-
parently-split tickets by Mont
gomery County Democrats dis
satisfied with the freshman Con.
gressman's performance in his
first term.
Majority Not Enough
Foley, as expected, gained a
majority of the county's votes,
polling 62,133 to $3.50 for Ma
thias. The Democratic victory
in the Congressional race, how
ever, was not on par with the
party's showing in the Presi-
Dental election, in which Ken
nedy won over Vice President
Richard M. Nixon by a margin
of 64,077 to 60,212.
Vote Record Set
1t had been estimated that
Foley would need a majority of
some 10000 votes in the county
to carry the Sixth District. His
margin was far short of the
goal, enabling the personable
Matthias to capitalize on his
