IICoCIlJdblOIl dCCuolliS Vic JOV-
ernor of a "sell-out" on reap
portionment.
The committee, made up pri-
marily of residents Of the big
suburban counties, has filed a
suit asking the court to order
reapportionment of legislative
seats. The committee was or
ganized after the 1860 session
of the Legislature failed to
pass any measure which would
give the larger counties more
voice in the State government.
Supported Plan
Gov. Tawes had said earlier
that he would again support
the Walsh plan for reappor-
tionment at the 1861 legislative
session. He said today, how
ever, that legislation may be
postponed pending the outcome
of the court suit.
He noted that Attorney Gen.
eral Ferdinand Sybert said yes
terday that the court suit may
continue beyond the legislative
session, particularly If the citi-
zens' committee carries the
legal fight to the United States
Supreme Court. as 1t has
threatened to do.
Gov. Tawes criticized the
committee for taking the court
action. He said the suit and
certain statements being made
by officers of the committee
ARE not serving any useful
purpose in getting reapportion-
ment legislation through the
Legislature.
Tawes Accused
Royce Hanson Of Montgomery
County, executive vice president
of the Fair Representation
Committee, last week accused
Gov. Tawes Of a "sell-out" on
reapportionment. Mr.. Hanson
and other committee officials
have said they want a more
equitable plan than the Walsh
proposal.
The Walsh plan would give
a few more General Assembly
seats to the four suburban
counties and Baltimore City,
but it would not place re-
apportionment on a strict popu-
lation basis, nor would it pro-
vide for reapportionment as
population changes occur.
Mr.. Hanson is entitled to
his opinion. but I would remind
him of the adage that politics
is the art Of the possible" Gov.
Tawes said. Anything stronger
than the Walsh proposal Just
can't be DONE"

Gov. Tawes said he would OPP
pose any recommendation for
increasing the State sales tax.
A legislative committee of the
Association of County Commits
sioners last week recommended
la u per cent increase, with
the extra money going to the
localities.
This Is another attempt to
chip away at the States rev.
enue," Gov. Tawes said.
The Governor said he has not
taken a stand yet on a pro-
poSal by the liquor industry to
abolish the requirement OF af-
fixing tax stamps to individual
bottles Of liquor sold in Mary
land. The State controller has
said that removal of the re-
quirement would increase i'm

Underground
Parking for
School Urged

Underground parking for a
compact, three-story school to
replace Leland Junior High
School in Chevy Chase was rec
commended last night to the
Montgomery Board Of Educa-
ton.
School Supt. C. Taylor Whit
tier told board members and a
number Of PTA representatives
that he favored underground or
possibly roof parking for the
highly urbanized location where
the present structure now
stands.
The 27-year-old building, at
Forty-fourth and Elm streets,
has been criticized by archi-
tects, builders and parents as
being antiquated and, in some
respects. unsafe. DR.. Whittier
said that it would have to be
torn down because the cost Of
making repairs would be pro-
hibitive.
The group approved SO mil
lion bid by Merando. Inc, to
build the West Bethesda High
School, near River road and
Wilson lane, but withheld a
decision on a $122,000 air con-
ditioning item for the project.
DR.. Whittier pointed out that
the board was committed to use
plans for an unusual "geodesic
dome" gymnasium. for which
he considered air conditioning
"a necessity"
Board Member Robert Nor
row commented: with the
tremendous capital budget we
have facing us in the next five
years, I don't see that we can
justify putting money into air
conditioning"
Member William Thomas said
that the geodesic dome, for
which plans were financed by
the Ford Foundation, would
mean 5000 more square feet of
space and accommodations for
1900 more people at less cost
than a conventional gymnasium.

Charles Mac Matthias. Re-
publican candidate for Con-
gress in Maryland's 9th district,
last night called for expansion
of the Defense Education Act so
qualified high school graduates
may go to college.
The proposal was made at a
Joint candidates meeting in
Bethesda at which Representa-
tive Foley, the Democratic in
cumbent, defended his voting
record and counter punched a
Matthias charge that he is a
"spender."
Mr.. Matthias, a member OF
the Maryland Legislature, said
the Defense Education Act
which permits Federal loans tc
college-bound students, should
be revised so that private lend
ing institutions could make the
loans.
U. S. Guarantee
i Under his plan. the Govern.
ment would guarantee the
loans. Mr.. Matthias said the
suggested program would re-
quire no new administrative
machinery and would avoid USE
of Federal funds.
He said the college loan pro-
gram emphasizes four major
fields: Teaching, engineering
science and modern languages

mended that a house. in an
other spot in the heart Of An
napolis, No. 81 Cornhill street,
be RACED to provide an entrance
or exit for a proposed parking
lot fronting on the next street.
The house at No. 81 Corn
hill street, it turns out. origi-
nally was built in the late
1600s and recently restored.
Historic Annapolis, Inc.
promptly shouted foul and pre-
sented a petition with some
$40 names urging that No. 81
be saved. Then it launched an
investigation into the heritage
Of No. 209 Duke Of Gloucester
street to provide its historical
Importance.
Report Due This Week
Alderman F. Elmer Gelhaus,
chairman of the Parking
Committee, said that the Smith
report recommendation on No
81 Cornhill street was an un.
fortunate mistake.
II can say that we have
dropped that plan and will moi
recommend that No. 81 be
razed," he said.
II also can say that nc
historically important property
on Gloucester street is being
considered for demolition" he
added.
But that's where the rub
comes In. What Mr.. Gelhau;
and his committee consider
historically important and what
Historic Annapolis. Inc, and
some property owners consider
historically important are poles
apart.

Almost from the first, the

LULUABORG, The Congo
(AP).-Over-pacificism by the
United Nations has placed It's
Congo peace force" on the
side of mass murder here.
Whatever the immediate out.
come Of the power struggle be-
tween Premier Lumumba and
President Kasavubu, the Cone
golese national army continues
to carry and use its arms in
indiscriminate slaughter, sup
posedly on behalf of the Lu-
mumba government. Only a
token fraction of this merce-
nary force, held together by
the wish for pay and free
board, has been disarmed by
the U. N. forces.
Without U. N. financial aid,
the strapped government of Lu-
mumba would not be able to
feed or meet payrolls of its
surly, ill-disciplined army.
New Mandate Needed
Grim implications of the
u. N. position here are no
blanket indictment of its OPP
erations. The U. N. has tried
valiantly to tackle the multiple
problems of the Congo and has
provided the only force for
stability now existing in the
widespread chaos. Without the
u. NJ, nearly all essential serv-
ices from hospital maintenance
to water supply would collapse,
and something like jungle law
probably would prevail every
where.

Nowhere is the untenable po-

Visitors are treated to the spec

in an invasion which is leading
to slaughter of hundreds. U. N.
assistance is not willing, to be
sure; it stems from blind obe-
dience to the idea that only
moral persuasion is to be used
here.
For example, a battalion of
Tunisan troops under the U. N.

yet perpetrated by the national
