whisky from the District Of
Columbia and Virginia, q legis-
lative committee has been told.

FROM" one witness said at a
hearing yesterday before the
House Alcoholic Beverages
Committee.
Distillers favor the bill to
eliminate the stamp on each
bottle. They said the present
requirement is costly and a
nuisance.
Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, however,
were backed up by State Con-
troller Louis L. Goldstein in
opposing abolition Of the stamp.
Their argument was that the
bill would lead to importation
Of whisky at cheaper prices
from the District and Virginia
without any way Of identifying
the amateur bootleggers."
The bill, which already has
the approval Of the Legislative
Council, had as its main pro-
ponent. Prof. John F. Sly OF
Princeton University. He had
been retained by the distilling
Industry to make q survey
which, he said, covered 80
States.
Both Maryland and the Dis
trict Of Columbia are consider

said.

Stirs Clash
On Council

Members Of the Montgomery
County Council clashed heat
edly yesterday over the future
Of downtown Silver Spring.

jections of Council President

an analytic service, plans to
build a five-story structure on
the location between First and
Second avenues.
The council also gave pre-
Hminary approval to similar
rezoning Of an adjacent site.
The group had previously de-
MED such q change.
Mr.. Hickey. protesting vain
ly against such action, said,
1T would be a terrible mistake
at this time to invade this fine
residential area"
He criticized the 1857 zon-
ing plan for the Silver Spring
business district as question
able" and suggested that a
new public hearing on the
matter was In order.
The rezoning was in line
with recommendations Of the
1857 plan.
The official noted that there
had been some stabilization
and reactivation Of the area,
but there Is still q lot to do.
The lower end Of Silver Spring
approaching the District line)
is still in q dangerous posi-
ton"
But Member David L. Ca
hoon, arguing for the majority.
declared that rezoning Of the
land fit perfectly into long
established plans for the area.
He said the council had "a re-
sponsibility to adhere to such
planning"

The Montgomery County
grand jury charged yesterday
that gross negligence" led to
the escape Of four prisoners
from the county jail in Rock
vile on November 81.
In a strongly worded declara-
ton. the grand jury said that
had reasonable diligence and
attention been exercised by Jail
officials, the escape of Novem-
Der 81 could have been pre-
vented"
According to the report, jail
officials had been warned eight
days before the break "by a
police phone call" that a break
was about to occur.
However, the report con-
tinued, no additional inspec-
tions or security measures were
undertaken as q result Of the
tip.
The grand jury said that
although the escape took place
at about $50 pm, it was not
discovered by jail authorities
until about 11:40 pm, more
than six hours later.
There is conflicting testi-
mony," the report stated,
whether this discovery was
made originally by the jailers'
head-couht or by jailers after
a phone call from the Bethesda
police that one prisoner was in
their custody"
The four youths, all of whom
have been indicted in the
escape, are Richard Jarnagin,
of Silver Spring: John Weldon.
10, a sailor; Thomas Crozier,
10. Of Baltimore, and a 17-year-
old. The youth gave himself up
the evening Of the jailbreak and
Crozier was captured the fol-
lowing day in Rockville. The
other two surrendered on No
vember 90 in nearby Maryland.
According to the panel, the
four prisoners, who had worked
on the escape route for three
weeks without detects 10 n 4,

Maryland Committee for Fair
Representation asked the Gen
eral Assembly today to reject
the Northrop-Pine bill for re-
apportionipg seats in the Leg

the Senate Judicial Proceedings
Committee that the bill spon-
sored by Senators Edward S.
Northrop, Democrat of Mont
gomery, and James A. Pine,
Democrat Of Baltimore County,
violates every known maxim
Of legislative reapportionment. "
Though the Fair Repre-
sentation Committees stand
divides reapportionment pro-
ponentS and may give rural
legislators an excuse for killing
any measure this year, Mr..
Hanson said his group would
rather wait to get fair" reap
portionment legislation enacted
than to accept the Northrop-
Pine bill this year.
Warn Tawes
Officials Of the committee
met with Gov. Tawes before
the hearing today and warned
him that failure Of the Legisla-
ttlre to enact q fair reappor-
tionment bill may produce re-
percussions at the polls in 1862,

Northrop-Pine bill and has
said he will put the full weight
Of his office behind it
Phillip Thorson, president Of
the Montgomery County unit
Of the committee, presented
67,2l2 signatures on q petition
from Montgomery favoring re-
apportionment which would
give the populous counties
more voice in the Legislature.
The committee has recon-
mended q bill which would
revise the membership Of both
houses Of the Legislature. Its
bill has been introduced In the
House Of Delegates.
The Northrop-Pine bill would

tions may be thrown into the

Reopportionment Bill
Hit by Citizens Group

Democrat Of Montgomery. the
bill would mean an end to the
domination the rural areas now
hold over the selection Of Demo-
cratic and Republican nominees
for Statewide offices.
Under the county unit sys-
TEN. the nomination is decided
by the number of unit votes
the candidate receives. Each
county and Baltimore City is
entitled to a number Of unit
votes equal to the number of
members it has in the General
Assembly.

has been drafted and is rest
ing in the Montgomery dele
gates desk, would provide that
any candidate receiving the
highest number Of popular
votes in the primaries would be
nominated, providing the top
man received more than 40 per
cent Of the vote cast. If no
candidate received more than
40 per cent. there would be a
Irun-off election between the
two top candidates.

In another legislative matter,
the administration has decided
not to introduce O bill which
would abolish Marylan n DIS
presidential primaries.
Senator Mary L. Mock, Demo-
crat Of Wicomico, who drew
the bill, said 1t might create
a misunderstanding" on the
part Of the Kennedy admins
tration. Mrs. Mock left the bill
with the Governor and he ap-
parently vetoed its introduc-
ton.

Carbon MOnoxide
Poisoning Warning
Given By Shanholtz

A warming about carbon mo-
noxide poisoning has been issued
by DR.. Mack I. Shanholtz. State
Health Commissioner. Colder
weather means a reduction in
ventilation in homes and cars.
Both places may have sources
OF carbon monoXide which can
cause death" DR.. Shanholtz said.
The Division of Accident Pre-
vention of the Public Health
Service reports that in 1859 car
bon monoxide poisoning caused
ga deaths in the United States.
The leading source was automo-
biles followed closely by faulty
gas-burning appliances. Incom-
plete burning or cooking or il
Illuminating gas produces poison
GUS carbon monoxide, instead of
carbon dioxide. In Virginia in
1859 there were II deaths from
carbon monoXide poisoning. five

and one in an unspecified place.
lone of the dangerous aspects
of carbon monoxide poisoning
DR.. Shanholtz warned, lis that
the symptoms do not inmedi-
ately suggest the cause. Thus. in
an automobile, nausea and dizzi-
ness. accompanied by headache,
should not be attributed to mo-
ton sickness and then forgotten.
Instead automobile W in d OWs

First aid for carbon monoxide
poisoning is the rapid induction
of fresh air. Open doors and Win

Yes, only Scot can make this guarantee. Here
ore the facts:
In private and State tests, Scot Gasolines have
been proved equal to or better than nationally
advertised brands. This proof is based on
OCTANE RATING-the quality of a gasoline
that lets car operate at best efficiency without
knocking. AS Scot has been the first to point out,
there is an octane rating that's just right for
your car. And whereas most gasoline companies
offer just two or three grades of gasoline, Scot
Gasoline stations offer different Octane grades
the widst selection available in this area.
. Scot Gasolines are produced in the worlds
most modern, scientific refineries-
Scot Gasolines have all the known scien-
20 tific benefits including weather blending,
refinery freshness, as well as all the ingre-
dents that can be refined into today's fine
gasolnes (butane, pentane, alkylate, iso-
octane and others.
Because Scot Gasoline stations specialize in
gasoline, you can buy the finest gasoline at lower
prices-actual savings of &c to &c per gallon.
Rather than waste space and run up costs
trying to offer very-once-in-a-while me-
chanical services" we will gladly recon-

comes to the finest gasolines and motor oils,

ings and outstanding service.
Because Scot Gas stations are SUPERSEDED,
with extra pumps, we can handle larger
volume of business. Our attendants can
pump more gas, thus we can offer better
gaSolines to you-at savings of &c to &c per
gallon. .. -.
You pay less at every Scot Gasoline station
because you pay cash. It costs money to
provide credit. We pass these savings on to
yOu.a-- ~a.n- =. ,.-..-, ~.... .
3.Minute Service is the rule at Scot Cas-
ohne stations It takes us less time to wait
on you and you spend less time waiting

Now, with Scot "Octane. Blender" pumps,
we save on costly multiple bulk tank stor-
age for different octane gasolines and pass
on these savings to you. We can offer you
different octane grades at Scots low prices.
You can choose the correct octane rating
for your cars most efficient operation from
the Octane Selector chart in all Scot
stations.
Drive into your nearest Scot station and let US
prove to you, on the basis of our guarantee, that
there is no finer high octane gasoline on the
market today.

Women
Get Nod as
Mayors

Most Of the guests at a re-
ception given yesterday by
Mrs. Katie Louchheim in
honor of a number Of dele
gates to the international
Conference of Local Author
tiles we're agreed that women
can make excellent mayors.
Mrs. w. K. Bartlett, secre-
tary to the 58-member Brit
ish delegation to the confer
ence, which will begin here
on Friday, made the point
that women have been sue
cessful cabinet ministers,
and so they can be success
full mayors, too.
Mrs. Nellie Combellack,
mayor for four years of Sig
nal Hill, Calf, said men in
her town do not resent hav-
ing a woman as their mayor.
They Control Wealth
The president of the Ma
tional Federation Of Repub-
lican Women, Mrs. Ruth
Parks, asserted that women,
at least in this country, con-
troll more wealth than men.
and so are well adapted to
be mayors.
Her Democratic opposite,
Mrs. James Mann, president
of the Woman's National
Democratic Club, said that
while it is not "in the cards
now" for a woman to be
mayor of Chicago or New
York, yet when the day
, comes she will be equal to it.
Women need the kind of
apprenticeship that men get,
observed Miss Eleanor Dulles,
sister of the late John Fos-
ter Dulles, who now works
in the International Research
Bureau of the Department of
State.
There is a tendency
among men to train their
sons" she said, "but they
try to spoil their daughters.
But if women are given time
to learn they can be good
mayors, even of. New York"
Most guests also were en-
phatic that home life need
not be bar to a woman's ca
reer as mayor.
"In this day and age Of
gadgetS and adjustments in
home life," Mrs. Parks said,
"the latter will not be an OBJ
stacle in the successful ca
reer Of a woman as mayor"
Differ on Spending Aspect
Mrs. Parks also said that
most women are budget con-
scious in the home, and so
they will carefully watch how
the public money Is spent.
But British delegate Mrs.
w. K. Bartlett disagreed. "It
is true that in the home most
women can make a dollar go
a long way, but such may not
be the case when there are
millions to handle" she said.
