Jump back into a tight schedule
of coming hearings, suspended
during budget review, joint
meetings between the city and
county might not be held until
some time in May.
The county owns the half
acre tract on East Jefferson
st. and until ex-county manager
Melvin L. Reese left his post
last month, plans to use the
tract for a parking lot were
firm.
But a recent proposal by
Rockville that it be allowed to
rent the land for three to five
years shelved parking lot plans,
for the time being. Acting
county manager Mason A.
Butcher has been directed to
meet with Rockville city heads
on their proposal.
The city has offered to pay
interest on bonds issued to buy
the Vinson tract and use the old
Vinson home for a cultural
center for three to five years.
At the end of that time the land
would revert to the county.

thought in mind that the COM
mittee organized, and that it
will attempt to convince the
county's delegates to the State
Democratic convention of
Stevenson's popularity.
One of the committees func-
tons will be sponsorship of a
testimonial for Stevenson to be
held June 19-after the State
primary-at the Indian Spring
Country Club, according to
Miller. He said he is hopeful
Stevenson will be present and
said invitations also will be ex-
tended to the other Democratic
presidential hopefuls.
Asked if the Stevenson move
ment was IAN answer to Blair
Lew h o announced last
week he had accepted the posi-
ton of county camapign man.
ager for Sen. John F. Kennedy
Miller conceded "it might, in
effect, be the case.
"At least you can say Lees
action was a motivating factor"
he said. CUP until that time, we
thought it had been agreed
there would be no presidential
campaign activity in the
county"
Last week Miller charged
that Lee, in accepting the Ken
nedy campaign post, had abro-
gated an implicit understand
ing" that harmony candidates
for seats to the Democratic
State Convention would take no
active part in the primary. Lee
is a member of the compromise
slate.
Lee however, denied there
was any agreement that would
preclude individual primary ac-
tivity by members of the har-
mony slate.
"Judge Miller is all wet" he
commented. "The only agree
ment made was that the slate
would not give any collective
endorsement of a candidate"
One of the reasons the agree
ment was made, Lee added, was
the fact that some members of
the slate obviously had vary
ing preferences for presidential
candidates"
In discussing the new COM
mittee's formation, Miller said
its members had encountered
"great enthusiasm" from coun-
ty Democrats, including some
active supporters of candidates
officially entered in the state
primary.
almost everyone said they
were for Stevenson" he as
serted. ''Many of them who are
supporting Kennedy and the
others said they were doing so
only because Governor Steven
son was not entered in the pri-
mary"
Among those listed as sup
porters of the new movement
were Delegates j. Graham
Walker and Edna P. Cook;
County Councilman Stanley B.
Frosh; Margaret w. Carpenter,
member of the Democratic
State Central Committee; Ed
win Collier, Democratic Ma.
tional Committeeman from the
county, and Irving A. Levine
and Paul Warnke, 'insurgent"
members of the harmony slate
seeking State Convention seats.

He emphasized that the unit

candidates in the State primary,
but said its members are boom

none of the others appears to

purpose of engaging in any

"Our purpose is to permit
others who feel as we do to
speak out so that Governor
Stevenson and the public can

He conceded the states dele

be pledged initially to support

but noted the commitment
could be abandoned in the event
the primary choice is not
deemed capable of winning the

CONTINUING ACCOUNT OF
MOTOR TRIP IN MEXICO

In Mexico City is costs 80 cents
to go to the top of the Latin Ameri-
can building, the highest in Mexico
City, where you can look out over
one of the worlds highest cities.
1t claims to be the highest "a
storied building in the world. The
city is at an elevation of Z 400 feet,
which puts the top of the building
in excess of 5000 feet, higher than
either the Empire State Building
or the Eiffel Tower. And it's one
of the most modern structures in
the world.
Two blocks down the street,
barefooted poems are digging the
basement and foundation IF new
structure, by carrying the dirt in
baskets strapped to their back, and
climbing ladders to the ground
level. I was unable to determine
what wages they earn, but l can
state with reliability that it is not
more than few pesos an hour at
the most { a peso is worth eight
cents U. S. money!.
Mexico City probably is not a
whole lot different than any big
American city, or from any other
big city in the world, since it has
a population of over four million
people. It is different in atmos.
phere from American cities, but
there are many nationality groups.
There are many endless streets of
small open front shops, where you
can buy anything under the sun.
Some of the open air Mexican
style restaurants are enough to turn
the stomach Of a good many tour
lists, but that is part of the color.
Along the streets are many poorer
people, perhaps farmers, or farm
women, who have brought their
beans to market, spread a couple
of sheets of newspaper in the mid
die Of the sidewalk, and separated
little piles Of beans which they Of
fer for sale at a peso apiece. Oc-
casionally the beans spill off the
newspaper and roll on the sidewalk,
but they are just as salable.
l encountered one street in the
city that was lined with primarily
nothing but coffee shops, door aft
er door, where freshly ground cof-
fee to order is always available.
1 did not see single American
style supermarket in Mexico, al
though I am sure that there are
a few by now in the newer resi-
Dental districts of the larger
cities. Most all of the coffee that
was served on the trip was freshly
ground, everywhere we went.
And the Capital has its market
places too. One I visited was for
fresh fruits and vegetables only.
Another for dry goods, such as
pottery, baskets, leather and fabric
work-mostly the things tourists
are looking for.
