Extended in
Montgomery
Election Bourd
To Keep Office
Open Saturday

Montgomery County election
supervisors yesterday announced
that more than 5000 new voters
were registered on county voting
lists during an intensive regis
tration program during the last
month.
The registration deadline,
officials said, has been extended
to include next Saturday, when
the election board Office in the
county courthouse at Rock
vile will be open from 9 am.
to 4:3O pm.
From tomorrow through Fri
day, however, the election Office
will be open daily from am.
to 4:30 pm. and from 7::30 to
$50 pm.
Since March 7, when elec-
tion officials began holding spe-
cial registration sittings in fire
houses and schools throughout
the county, a total of 9,491 new
voters were registered. OF these,
5,262 registered as Democrats,
3.599 as Republicans and $50
declined to state a party affili-
alton.
Last January l, registered
voters in the county totaled
118,246. OF this figure, 42,986-
or 1868 per cent-were Repub-
licanS. The Republicans per
centage of the 9,491 new voters
is nearly 38 per cent.
Drive Stepped Up
The county Republican or
ganization has expanded it's
headquarters at 933 Gist ave-
nue., Silver Spring, and is put
ting on a concentrated regis
tration effort in an attempt to
recapture the 9Th district con-
gressional seat this fall, Chair
man David Scull said.
The current voter registra-
ton period is primarily for the
benefit of new county residents.
Older residents who have pre-
viously been entered on the
registration lists must re-regis-
ter only if they have not voted
in any election during the past
five years.
To register and vote in Mary
lands May II primary, a resi-
dent must have lived in the
State on or before last Novem-
ber 8 and in the county on OF

dropped or changed.
These leaders indicated will
ingneSS to consider a possible
compromise. Whether they and
the Budget Bureau can reach
an acceptable middle ground
has not yet been determined.
The immediate fate of the
Federal Bureaus transportation
proposals is being clouded also
by lack of action by area gov
erning bodies. So far, no one
has Endorsed the measure. The
Washington Metropolitan Re-
gional Conference, which rep
resents area governments. last
week expressly avoided taking
a stand.
Bible Asks Views
The Budget Bureau submitted
the transit legislation to Con-
greSs a month ago. Senator
Bible, Democrat of Nevada,
chairman of the Joint Commit
tee on Metropolitan Washing
ton Problems, invited area gov
erning authorities on Friday
to submit written views on the
legislation in connection with
hearings which have been set
tentatively for May 5 and 6.
Senator Bible and Represen-
tative Broyhill, Republican of
Virginia, are sponsoring the leg
islation, which eventually will
be acted on by the Senate and
House District Committees.
Senator Bible heads the former
group as we'll as the Joint
Committee.
The Budget Bureaus plan in
large part worked out in con-
sultation with area leaders, pro-
vides for: D creation of a
temporary National Capital
Transportation Agency; 90 ne
gotiation of an interstate COM
pact setting up a permanent
so-called proprietary" agency
L at a later date to take over
the work of the temporary
agency; 90 creation of a Fed
eral Transportation Corp. if the
interstate compact is not con-
cluded.
The duty of both the tenn.
porary and permanent agencie;
would be to develop more ef-
ficient area-wide transporta-
ton. The main purpose is tc
create a rapid rail-transit
system connecting downtown
Washington with the suburbs
This would be constructed al
least partly with Federal funds
Bus and railroad transit also
would be improved.
Fear Federal Corporation
The proposal for the initial
temporary agency is subStan-
TALLY uncontroverSial. Area gov
ernmental leaders have agreed
largely not only on this step
but on the desirability of the
permanent agency to be set up
by interstate compact among
Virginia, Maryland and the
District.
The Federal corporation pro-
posed as an alternative to the
compact agency apparently has
aroused serious miSgivingS,
however.
Some leaders apparently feel
it would have too much power
Some have objections also to
details of its proposed opera
ton and management.
The corporation, under terms
Of the Budget Bureau bill,
could be established automati-
cally on or after July /, 1868,
if no compact is concluded by
that time. 1t would have

Chances for congressional
clearance of a District suffrage
proposal this year are almost
as strong as crusty Congress-
man Emanuel Celler.
And, in coming weeks, his
tactics may well startle some of
the suffrage-starved citizens he
seeks to benefit.
Generations of Washington

pleading before Congress. A
denial of a presidential vote for
ITO years and of any national
representation for IS years has
put them on the defensive.
Mr.. Celler, aged II, is all
offense. He snaps. He growls.
A smile seems to bend his face

The Cathedral Choral Society
o year ago hit upon a money
raising scheme to assist it in
meeting the extraordinary ex-
penses of its tri-annual con-

of view the scheme was a good
one, and as I have been getting
reports from all sides that it
also was worth attending be-
cause of the music that it
created, I went to the Cathe-

Bach B minor Mass.

All of the chairs in and near

hall, and a good deal Of the

song singer Virgil Sturgill.
Now a WaShingtonian, Mr..
Sturgill halls from Carter

many of the songs on last

Mr.. Sturgill's manner of per-
formance is much in the ira
dition of his Kentucky fore
bears. His voice is rough hewn
and unaffected, his accom-
paniments on the Appalachian
dulcimer, quite rudimentary.
The genuine folk singing ira
dition is a highly personal
art, and not really a medium
of mass entertainment, so 1t
was not surprising to find Mr..
Sturgill unaccustomed to the

ment. Today our American farmers
should have the gratitude of the
nation that they are ready to for
sake the needle-cur,e and travel
again the stony road of retaining
freedom. However, there are farm
ers who do not agree with this.
The disciplines that are in the
natural laws, so close to a farmer,
are still the balance of influence
that shape the character of a ma
ton The farmer is becoming less
numerous when the vote is count
ed; thus, politically he has become
a pawn.
Let's stop playing political
game where the so-called Farm
Problem cannot be solved. Perhaps
we have no farm problems, but we
do have many farmers with prob
lems-these problems must be
diagnosed and solved individually.
The farm problem" is the prob
lem of all Americans. A sick econ
omy can't be cured the needle way.
The chance to invest wisely or I'M
fortunately and to enjoy a profit
or suffer a loss in a free field of
competition is not easy, but it has
done we'll by us and others, before
we started using dope.
We can have higher prices via
government or other controls and
have commodities too high priced
to move in competition. Then we
can dump these surpluses on the
world markets and hold peace with
military might. The difference will
show in taxes.
Now initiation from deficit spend
ing has spiraled costs upward.
Artificial stimulation for farm
production has our warehouses
bursting. Efficiency, made possible
by science and engineering, has
made the surpluses greater. We
could kill off progress by cutting
research so as to have less, and be-
come dependent on the govern
ment opiates
The farm illness has put our best
farmers in peril, and those who
can't become Efficient are lost.
! American consumers have stake
in a healthy food producing in
dustry. Socializing it has not been
solution elsewhere.
It's time we face the facts OF
our illness and start to apply our
selves to basic principles that OPP
crate, even when society is wrong.
There is no substitute for eff
ficiency. Hard work, risk, year
round employment, some aches and
pains are part of the price to be
free from the needle.

we have an Operators License and
they do expire every four years.
After checking the records of regis

have found that the num-
Der is tremendous and it has come

ment Division. In the near future
there will be checking stations
throughout the County and State,
so how about checking your drivers
license and see if they are valid.
DO 1T NOW. If you do not have
one go to your nearest Drivers
License Exnainer and secure one.
The price?, $3.50, is cheaper than
