Montgomery Hit
By Power Failure

A major power failure left
much of Montgomery County
without electricity today for
periods ranging from Is min
utes to more than an hour.
The interruption occurred at
9:10 am. as a result Of a "seri-
GUS equipment failure" at the
Burtonsville substation of the
Potomac Electric Power Co.,
which serves about So per cent
of Montgomery County, accord
ing to a PEPCO spokesman.
Service was restored to most
of the area within Is or 20
minutes. but some subscribers
in the Rockville section were
without power for an hour or
more.
Full service was restored by
1920 am. to all but a few in
dividual customers, the COM
pany said.

The District Democratic Cen
tral Committee moved swiftly
last night to prevent the May
3 presidential preference pri-
mary from turning into what
one member called a comic
opera"
In a fleeting moment of rap
port. the bitterly antagonistic
Humphrey and Morse sup
porters who dominate the COM
mittee voted together to ask
the Board of Elections to count
only the "yes" votes on the
presidential preference ques-
ton.
The vote was 19 to /, A. l..

reported.
This action followed disclo-
sure in the Sunday Star that
because of a question over how
votes should be counted. it is
conceivable that both candi-
dates in the presidential pref
erence primary could lose.
The Board of Elections met
yesterday to consider this prob
lem, but decided to postpone
making a decision until it has
a specific request to do so,
Joseph Fairbanks, board chair
man, said.
Under the District election
law, the presidential preference
question must be so phrased as
to require a "yes" or mo" after
the name of each of the two
men in the race, Senator Morse

Today. however. the Corpo-
ration Counsel's office raised a
question as to whether the
Corps Of Engineers has the
legal authority to transfer
jurisdiction of the smaller strip
of land. The difference in the
legal status between the two
pieces of property is in the
workings of the two statutes
giving jurisdiction to the
Corps Of Engineers. The Com
missioners directed the Corpo-
ration Counsel to report back
on the matter. A

In addition. the Commits

A Fairfax County police
car came along and the

watched their marksman-
ship with great interest.
There is probably no
regulation in Fairfax, a
rural county, against rife
practice in remote wood
land areas. After all, our
national defense depended,
and still does to an extent,
on a citizenry that can
shoot, and the Constitution
says that the right to bear
arms shall not be abridged.
But despite all this prece-
dent, Mr.. Swift was very dis
approving: While he was diff

the Park Service, we gather
ed that there would be an
end to all this shooting
when the Park Police start
patrolling the area.

Disappears
In the Wilderness

In the tradition of that

Henry Stanley of the New
York Herald ("Dr. Living
ston, I presume") the Ram
bier went exploring.
He decided to descend

Falls road to the Potomac,
a distance Of almost a mile.
This is In the 300 acres
Of wilderness leased last
week by the National Park
Service as a recreational
area.
National Capital Parks
provided him with a guide
in the person Of Ellsworth
Swift, a young naturalist.
Mr.. Swift brought along q
Typographical map, which,
while accurate, gave no sug-
geStion of the hazards we
would encounter.
We drove out past Lam
gley, Va, and the new CIA
building and the fantastic
whorlS of dual highways Of
the interchange near its
gates. We went several miles
further through relatively
untouched country, then
crossed q bridge over a rag
ing torrent.
That was Difhcult Run.
We turned to the right
on a woodland road. The
first few hundred yards were
easy. We negotiated them in
the car. But after that there
was nothing but q narrow
foot path over the rocks at
the edge of the stream.

Your Bible and Mine
Kenneth W. French Pastor of Harbor Light
 PentecoStal Chapel

In this column, last week, we noted the answer which Peter and the other apostles who were standing with him, gave to the crowd when they asked, What shall we do?" This answer was definite and clear cut and so simple that a child could under stand. It contained two com mands and one promise. The commands were as follows: The first, Repent, meant a deep change of heart and a complete obedience to the will of God. The second, be baptized, every one of you in the Name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. This meant the cancellation of the record of sin against them. The promise was, ''Ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" This was the beginning of the gospel and the salvation plan Jesus had died to bring to lost men. Approximately sixty years later one of the men who had stood with Peter that day,  the apostle John, the last living apostle, makes this statement: <. This is the commandment, that, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it."
 (II John 6). The blueprint of salvation was never to be changed salvation was never to be changed. (Paid adv.)
