District Republican Chair
man Carl L. Shipley. who con-

Rockefeller agreed to make
ratification of the constitu.

legislative message.
He said the Governor has
also personally urged legislative
leaders to expedite passage of
the measure, which would give
District residents the vote for
President and Vice President.
Mr.. Shipley said he also met
with Assembly Speaker Joseph
F. Carlino and received assur-
ance Of speedy action.
The chances are good for
ratification during the first
legislative week, which could
make New York the first State
to approve the amendment in
1861. Mr.. Shipley said.
Hawaii, Massachusetts and
New Jersey already have rati-.
fed the measure. Thirty-five
more States must approve it
before it becomes effective.

out today that the program
chosen by Mr.. Kennedy is in
sharp contrast to the "pop"
type concert favored by Presi-

In 1857, the National SYM

the program, which included
such light pieces as "A Decla-
ration Suite" by Morton Gould
and an opera aria sung by Lily
Pons. The second half was
devoted to a choral concert by
Fred Warnings Pennsylvanians
which included a piece called
Mamie, We All Love You"
Four Programs Offered
For the Inaugural Concert,
Mr.. Kennedy was offered a
choice of four programs. A
symphony spokesman said the
contents of the three other pro-
grams would not be revealed
but that members Of the Or
chestra were elated by Mr.,
Kennedy's choice.
The program includes La
Montaine's Overture From
Sea to Shining Sea-" Vivaldi's
Concerto in G Minor for
Violin and Orchestra" with
Mischa Elman as soloist; and
Randall Thompson's 1.-The
Testament of Freedom" a
setting of four passages from

"YOU MUST REMEMBER
THIS" said DR.. MarkowitZ.
while we operate on mean
solar time, a measure Of our
existence which this observa-
tory and the older one called
Greenwich cooperate in
keeping accurate, that is not
true sun time.
"A sun dial will give you
sun time; tell you when the
sun is exactly half way across
the armament as the world
makes its daily revolution.
Christmas Day was one
of the four days In a year
when sun time and mean
solar time, the time you get
from your wrist watch, or
more accurately from our
time signals, are the same.
"Now true sun time is
dropping behind mean solar
time, or clock time as you
might prefer to call it. BY
February 9, when the shadow
of your sun dial is right on
the point of noon, you would
do well to check it with your
watch. You will find your
watch time is 1914. Sun
time will be IA minutes be-
hind clock time.
"Sun time also gets ahead.
In November the day will
come when you will find that
when it is noon on your sun
dial it is 16 minutes to IL on
your watch"
It's going to be a long pull,
January, February and
March all winter months.
But we're over the hump
the shortest day and longest
night Of the year.
Sing on, mockingbird! You
are right. The sun is getting
higher, the daylight brighter.
1t will get colder and cloud
ier. Well have more snow
storms. But we are in
the new year. We've almost
got it made. Before long we'll
be in another spring and

LakewoodCIub
Control Won
By Insurgents
Nomed to Offices
At Stormy Session
On Operations

One thousand persons at
tended a stormy meeting in
Bethesda last night at which
insurgent members captured
control Of a partially completed
Montgomery County country
club.
Candidates backed by q Spe-
cial members committee won
all nine seats on the board Of
directors of Lakewood Country
Club, Inc, in an emphatic voice
vote.
The club members. many &C
companied by their wives, over
flowed the stands in the gym
at Bethesda Chevy Chase High
School.
A later count Of written bal
lots showed that candidates
backed by the members group
received from sos to 53l votes
each. Candidates backed by
the ousted officers received from
seven to 80 votes each.
The election followed almost
two hours of heated and often
loud criticism of present club
operations. Several times mem
bers rose from the floor to
wrest control Of the meeting
from the presiding officer.
At issue. primarily, were the
financial activities of the clubs
developers. The facility is
being promoted by an investors
group headed by Bill M. Allen
Of Country Club Developers,
Inc.
Over 81 Million Paid In
David E. Belts, chairman Of
the members committee, said
over 81 million has been paid
in membership fees by the
1900 members Of the new
club. located Just north Of
Rockville. Several speakers
said they bought life member
ships at prices ranging up to
$1,340.
Work on the clubhouse was
halted several months ago.
An l8-hole golf course, three
swimming pools. four tennis
courts and a bathhouse have
been completed. Mr.. Allen said.
The developer announced
last night that new financing
has been arranged to permit
completion of the clubhouse so

Mr.. Allen said PAP, Inc,
which he heads. Is planning to
borrow $750, 900 shortly. Com
pletion Of the clubhouse will
cost about 100000, he said.
The remainder Of the money,
he said. may be used to buy
more land or expand existing
facilities.
The Lakewood corporation Of
which the members committee
took control last night deals
with the developers but does
not actually own any club ia
cilitieS.
Not Kept Informed
A number Of speakers indi-
Gated they thought the Or
iginal board Of directors and
the clubs developers had failed
to keep members sufficiently
Informed.
Paul v. Rogers. the original
president, told questioning
members he did not have club
records with him.
Mr.. Allen promised to make
available copies Of a contract
made by the original board Of
directors in which Mr.. Rogers
said the club gave up control
over financial matters.
Mr.. Belts said the new board
Of directors plans to meet with
the developers as soon as pos
sible to obtain information
about club activities.

The
Rambler
-. Finds Time
Is Confusing
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The Rambler was awak-
ened yesterday by a mock
ingbird singing away as if it
were spring.
"The days are getting
longer" he said to himself
and felt quite cheerful about
it, even if it did mean get
ting up a minute or two
earlier.
But when he consulted his
Hagerstown Almanac, which
sometimes errS in predicting
the weather but never con-
corning the time of sunrise
and sunset, he got a surprise.
The sun rose two minutes
later yesterday than it did
on December 81, the day of
the Winter SolStice - the
shortest day Of the year.
And it will continue to rise
a bit later every day this
week until Saturday. On that
day and for 10 days there
after it will rise at 1922.
Then it will start rising
earlier every day until it is
getting up at 4:42 Eastern
Standard Time on June 81,
the Summer Solstice.
But December 81 was a
shorter daylight day than
yesterday. While the sun rose
two minutes later yesterday,
1t set three minutes later
than on the 21St. It will 60
on setting a minute later ev-
cry day or two until June 26
five days after the Summer
Solstice-when it goes down
at 1888 (EST). It continues
setting at 7::38 for the next
five days and then begins
setting earlier.
Something wrong here,
thought the Rambler in his
suspicious way. The sun
ought to rise the latest on the
Winter SolStice and set the
latest on the Summer Sol
stice. At least that's what
he always thought.
