THIS WEEK Mnso1ine / December 4. 1850
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1960-06-23
Forsighted Move

THE County Councils action in setting up top policy
and administrative coordnatng committee is giant
step forward in tying together in unified whole the pro-
grams and procedures of area agencies.
With members of the planning and sanitary commits
sons reviewing their work constantly with the county
manager and the superintendent of schools county resi-
dents reasonably expect to an end to the de-
lays waste and which have surrounded so many
essential projects.
Only last week, The Sentinel suggested editorally
that the planners should maintain much closer aison
with the county heads The need for this pointed up
in the disappointment expressed by council members
the progress of important planning studies
It is gratifying, therefore to have the
council include the sanitary commission and the head of
the school system such committee for there is
question of the vital role which these two agencies play in
the orderly development of the county.
Such a move may well presage the establishment of
true regional government in which the citizens will enjoy
the benefits resulting from the operations OF all agencies
working as single unit for the good of everyone.
While it is true that coordinating committee COM
posed of staff members has been functoning for
time its scope has necessarily been limited because of the
inability of the various representatives to make policy de-
cisions.
Also, the resolution adopted by the participating
agencies in setting up the staff committee limited its
duties almost entirely to questions involved in the acqu
siton of school and park sites.
Obviously the tremendous growth of the county poses
problems which go far beyond site acquisition And so
tons must be reached quickly by all agencies to
orderly development
At the same time, it is essential that each agency
know what the other is doing to meet particular prob
lem that all of the will fit together and full
coordination be achieved.
This is what the coordinating committee is in
tended to accomplish.
Councilman David L. Cahoon, who presented the reso-
luton setting up the committee and other council
bers deserve the praise of every citizen interested in eff
cen government for their farreachng and farsighted

Do Voters Choose
Best School Board?
Thoughts

When the bill providing for an elected
School Board was passed by the Maryland
General Assembly nearly 10 years ago, few
legislators could have foreseen the bitterness
that Is engendered in contests for seats on
this all-important agency
If they had, 1t is doubtful whether they
would have disregarded the opposition OF State
school officials. These very officials predicted
correctly, as it turned out - that the cleo
ton of board members would divide the coun-
ty into warning camps, each insisting the
other would destroy education.
They insisted that school boards must
be non-political, and that promises made dur.
ing the heat of a political campaign would
greatly weaken the members ability to with
stand pressure by special interest groups.
Almost from its entry into the politi.
cal arena, the Montgomery board has been
the center of controversy. During every
election, citizens have been bombarded by
a barrage Of charges and counter-charges.
Most Of these, unfortunately, provided
much heat and little light.
In 1858, for example, children were press
ed into the fray to pass out leaflets at the
polls while urging voters to save our
schools"
No one in his right mind has ever adj
vocated eliminating schools. Yet the implica-
ton in the message was that approval of

Grandfather Welsh
Was a Great Man
County Law

William w. Welsh, merchant, was my
grandfather and 1 first met him when my
parents returned to Maryland from Colorado
when was six years old.
He moved into Rockville shortly after he
was released from Libby Prison in Richmond
as a prisoner of the rebels. He built store
near the railroad station in Rockville, but it
burned down and killed two people. Fire has
been the curse of my family. Everytime it
looks like we will accumulate a full set of
silverware or law books the store, home or
office burns down. The home where was
raised burned to the ground twice, my office
once, and then the Welsh store. No wonder

He rebuilt the store about 1889 and it is

Wire. frequently return and buy goods, but
really go back to the old store to search for
a six-year-old boy who spent two of the hap
piest years of his childhood in general store

Grandfather Welsh was kind man and
he loved me. He showed this love by letting
me sit next to him at the dinner table He
used to give me thick bacon and when 1
wanted more he pinched my ears with sugar
tongs. Sometimes, after dinner, we would

particular slate of candidates was the only
action that could guarantee continuation of
the county's public school system. This was
manifest nonsense.
On the other side, some contended that
their candidates were the only ones who could
make it possible for teachers to provide ade-
quate instruction in the fundamentals of
learning.
Such conflicting claims and appeals to
emotion obviously make it difficult for voters
to decide, effectively and dispassionately, who
Is to be responsible for operating the agency
which spends good threequarters of their
tax money each year.
In view of its gigantic task, the School
Board should command the respect and sup
port of the vast majority, if not all, of the
people. Constant disputes and arguments over
the boards policies lessen the members eff
fectiveness and affect teacher morale, as well.
Even worse, the children may become in
volved - and that cannot be tolerated.
Perhaps return to the appointive method
would be preferable to the divisiveness result
ing from the present system. In former years,
the appointed boards performed their duties
quietly and effectively. And there were few,
II any, signs of public dissatisfaction. AS a
matter OF fact, it was then that the county
began earning its reputation for having an
outstanding school system.

An Opinion
Matthias and Foley
Even at This Point

Charles MAC" Matthias was able during
the Republican Primary campaign to win
many personal and political Montgomery
County friends who have become enthusiastic
supporters in his bid for the 9Th Congression-
al seat.
AS a matter of fact, Matthias seems to
have tremendous support from leaders all
over the district. So much so, in fact, that
he has Congressman John r. Foley, Demo.
crat, serving his first term, making charges
reminiscent of the late Senator Mccarthy.
Much of Foley's tactic of waving papers at
audiences and saying he has pages on Ma
thias' voting record in the Maryland House Of
Delegates reminds one of the way Mccarthy
used to make sweeping charges. Then Foley
proceeds to tell his audience, and to send
releases to newspapers, that Matthias failed to
vote on "25 separate measures pertaining to
Montgomery County" He lists these so-called
important measures by date and number
knowing full well not many persons or edi-
tors will take the trouble to look them up.
We did look up some, and will continue to
look up others, and give you a full report in
the near future. Those seen so far are so
unimportant that not single vote was cast
against them. They were purely local, and
not important local bills at that
We suspect the crafty mind Of Felix Put
terman has been behind this type Of campaign
tactic. Felix Putterman is Mr.. FOley's Ad.
ministrative Assistant He represents the ex-
treme In labor and liberal thinking. And
there are those political observers who main-
tain he will be Congressman FOley's great
est campaign liability during his try for
second term in the House of Representatives.
Be that as it may; the campaign for Con.
gress has begun. And Matthias should now
know the type that Foley is going 10 wage

Wick Byron

Another thing should be very clear to Mr..
Matthias. If he expects to have an even
chance of winning the Congressional seat
held so long by Republicans he must do Ger.
tain things, according to the thinking of poll
ticians who should know.
First of ALL he must become the fighting
leader of his own organization. He cannot
afford to sit back and allow various leaders
in the different counties to fight among them.
selves.
Matthias must form his own committees
and get the strongest possible persons to
manage the various phases of his campaign.
He must not be timid about hurting this ones
or that ones feelings. Politics is a cruel, hard
business, albeit interesting and well worth.
while
The Republican candidate must wage an
aggressive campaign against man who has
always been an aggressive campaigner.
The Republican candidate must bang
away at the weaknesses of his Democratic
opponent who has made some rather serious
political mistakes. But he must tell the peo-
pie about these mistakes. He can't do 1t
through spokesman who doesn't understand
Maryland politics or Maryland people.
The Republican candidate must have q
genuine program of his own-a program that
interests the majority of the people in the
9Th District He must be positive about what
he believes in.
Matthias could take lesson from Floyd
Patterson. He should study Foley's weak
spot, and hammer away at them. That Is, If
he expects to win. And he has given the i'm
preston he is out to grab this seat away
from Foley.
If Matthias can direct in the right chan
nels much of the enthusiastic support he now
has, he should, at this point, have an even
break to beat Foley.
