A new-and very 0Aa-1ountry,

independent nationhood. But in
doing so it has to set of one Of
those bitter squabbles between
the Arabs and the French in the
United Nations General Assembly.
AS before, the United States is in
the middle of this East-West
crossfire.
Mauritania is a Texas : sized
country in Northwest Africa which
once supplied elephants for Ham
nibaPs expedition against Rome.
Currently it is an autonomous re-
public in the French Union, in
habited by half a million fuzzy
haired. flerce-looking Moors, who
still raid neighboring territories
for slaves and camels, and by some
100000 Negro agriculturists who
raise millet. dates, pumpkins and
corn in the fertile valleys on the
country's southern fringers. It has

bers elected by universal suffrage
and other democratic trappings,
including government headed
by q young and bearded Prime
Minister who looks like a pros
porous beatnik. Moktar Ould Dad
dah.
Recently Ould Daddah requested
the French government to set
adrift his Republique Islamique
de Mauritania. The Arab outcry in
connection with this measure
comes from Sultan Mohammed
ben Yusef Of Morocco and his.
ministers. who contend that Maui
ritania ought by right to be an
nexed to their Sheridan empire
instead.

A breakdown on county
residents who are Illegally
driving cars with out-of-
state tags was launched this
week by the county police
department.
Strong protests Immediately
arose over the police practice
of stopping cars with out-of-
state tags during rush hour
traffice on main roads entering
the District so they could query
drivers.
John w. ChildreSs, manager
of the D. c. division, American
Automobile Association, said
the AAA "has been flooded with
complaints from Maryla IN d
motorists" He told Police
Superintendent James S. Nc
Auliffe: 1--WE are unalterably
opposed to the method that is
being used"
McAuliffe countered that pc.
lice for years have issued
warnings "but large numbers Of
out of state tags still persist in
residential areas of the county,
Frequently, we get com
plants from our own people
who are paying taxes that cars
in their neighborhood are get
ting by without getting Mary
land tags" he said.
McAuliffe denied an AAA
charge that the stopping of
motorists with out-of-state tags
along Wisconsin, Georgia, Mas
sachusetts and Connecticut ayes
and River I'd. and 18th st. was
delaying thousands of motor
lists for as long as 30 minutes
during rush periods"
That's ridiculous" he said
after receiving some com.
plants this morning, I checked
a sergeant who is working with
several officers assigned to the
detail and he told me none OF
the delays would be in excess OF
three minutes over normal de
lays caused by heavy traffic
during peak rush hour periods. .

Rockville
Vote Lists
Are Closed

About 400 voters, an in
crease of 500 over 1858, will
be eligible to go to the polls
April Is and vote for a new
Rockville mayor and city
council.
The total was released this
week by registrar Mrs. Lucille
Magruder who closed registra-
ton books last Friday. Candi-
dates for office still have until
the close of business tomorrow
to file.
AS The Sentinel went to press,
Mayor Alexander ]. Greene was
still unopposed for reelection.
He was one of five candidates
for office who have the support
of Citizens For Good Govern
ment.
Only other candidate to file
so far is David Rosoff, indie
pendent, running for seat on
the council. Mrs. Magruder said
two other candidates tried to
file for the council, but they
lacked the required petitions of
100 signatures.
She said they were Bernard
j. Magee, listed at EOS East
Montgomery ave., and Everett
r. Horton, listed at 1929 Lewis
ave-, Rockville. Both left city
hall saying they would collect
the signatures but had not re
turned Tuesday, according t.
Mrs. Magruder.
Other candidates who have
filed for the council are Frank
A. Ecker. Achilles NJ. Tuchtan
Glenn ]. Koepenick and Frank
E. Williams. Filing deadline is
Friday.
Citizens For Good Govern
ment announced this week that
the organization will stage
campaign rally April % at the
Civic Center. Greene and the
four council candidates except
Rosoff, have been asked to ad
dress the rally.

First I-3
Tract Is
Okayed

An 89-acre tract about a
mile due west of Gathers
burg this week became the
first to be approved for the
county's new I-3 industrial
zone, tailored to attract science
industry.

erations at Rollins ave-, Rock
vile.
Voting against granting the
new coming was council presi-
dent Grover X. Walker, resi-
dent of Gaithersburg. Walker
contended that there would be
no protection from Objectionable
uses of the land for surround.
ing areas, and that granting the
coming would result in "unwar-
ranted expenditures for sewers
and highways" serving the
tract. The land was zoned rural
residential prior to Tuesdays
action.
The industrial coming carried
approval of the Montgomery
County Planning Board, which
noted the tract is located where
there is no residential develop
ment. The land lies south of
the BIO Railroad, north of
Chopper rd., and just west of
Metropolitan Grove I'd.
Heinrich, England and Devlin
originally applied for IL, or
heavy industrial Zoning, last
year. They withdrew the ap-
plication, however, when the
council indicated it would initi-
ate its own motion to zone the
tract in the I-3 zone.
The new zone sets up strin-
gent performance and land use
standards that were approved
by the Park and Planning Com
mission in March of last year.
Tenants of the zone may not
come even close to creating
noise, dirt or odors that may be
allowed in the IL and 10 zones.

Mr.. Rogers announced Mon
day that he had requested
registration boards in four
Southern counties - including
Wilcox-to make their records
available to him. He has the
right to make such a request
under the civil rights law.

the law and their oathS of Of

the balloting.
Senator Kennedy was the
only candidate formally en-
tered. All Nixon votes were
write-ins.
AS vote counting neared the
halfway mark, Senator Ken
nedy was polling more votes
than Mr.. Nixon. But the size
of the apparently spontaneous
write-in vote for the Vice
President provided one of the
elections few surprises.
SymingtOn Leads Humphrey
Democratic returns from
1,778 of 2,l07 precincts gave
Senator Kennedy 64,764 votes.
Write-in votes for the other
Democrats included 2,972 ior
Senator Symington of Missouri,
1857 for Senator Humphrey of
Minnesota, 529 for Senator
johnson of Texas and 604 for
two-time nominee Adlai Ste
venson.
L Republican returns from

write-in votes to Mr.. Nixon:
900 to New York Gov. Nelson
A. Rockefeller; 78O to Senator
Goldwater of Arizona, and 81
to Interior Secretary Seaton.
" This was no head-on clash
between Senator Kennedy and
Mr., Nixon. and the returns
posed problems in interpreta-
ton.
Senator Kennedy received
the help of well-organized Ne

eral visits to this State, where
Democrats two years ago
scored their best gains in 18
years by electing a Democratic
Governor and two Democratic
Congressman.
No organized effort to en-

Similarly, little write-in ac-
