The columnist and spokesman for the eX.
IRENE liberal segment of the local Democratic
organization has revealed something about
which the public should be completely knowl
edgeable And Mrs Alys Spealman a power
full leader in the movement, has performed
service by making political situation perfect
ly clear.
Many observers have contended that the
School Board has been controlled for a num-
Der of years by members who are either men,
bers of, or sympathetic to the theology of the
extreme liberal group of the local Democratic
Party. After Mrs. SpeaIman's list of candi.
dates for public office whom she would trust
implicitly i'm government" the contention is
confirmed.
This political connection isn't something
that happened by chance. 1t was started
years ago and has continued right up through
the last election.
Even though the School Board members
are supposed to be elected on non-partisan
basis, there isn't much doubt concerning the
strong political ties that exist
While candidates do not run under the
label of Republican or Democrat, it doesn't
take much thought to determine that certain
leaders in the School Board elections have be-.
longed to very select group of extreme lib
erals in Montgomery County Some have been
Democrats and some Republicans
1t is unfortunate that such a situation ex.
lists simply because it is too difficult for the
average voter to determine where candidates
stand. Now along comes AIys Spealman,
recognized leader of the extreme Liberal
group, who spells it out very plainly.
Mrs Spealman has said what others have
suspected. She says Rose Kramer would suit
her for the County Counc& 1t doesn't take a
course at Monocacy to understand why Rose
Kramer did not run for reelection to the
School Board. She had other things in mind.
And as long as she could get a true member
of her group to replace her, she was satisfied
to wait for the local elections in 1862 so she
could try for seat on the County Council.
Perhaps, the same thing could be said for
Helen Sharf also mentioned by Mrs. Speal-
man as trusted soul for the County Council
Mrs. Sharf was close partner of Mrs Kram.
er on the School Board for many years. They
both think in the same vein. Both Joined to
reshape the whole philosophy of education and
school administration more than four years
ago.
Mrs. Kramer and Mrs. Sharf both know
that the County Council must be controlled by
persons who have the same political ideologies
as present School Board members if the total
job is to be accomplished. The County Coun.
Gil controls the purse strings to an important
extent and there have been signs that an end
has come to the blank checks given to the
School Board in the past
For this reason, Mrs. Spealman has made

The Maryland State Roads Commission deserves
the thanks OF Montgomery Countys commuters who
use Connecticut ave. every day in getting to their
work
With hardly delay county motorists have been
able to make their usual speed in getting to and from
home each day.
And they've wound up with completely resur-
faced stretch of Connecticut from the railroad
to Chevy Chase circle.
The paving of the avenue which suffered ire
mendousy from the ravages Of last winters SHOWS and
snowplows, went smoothly, with the committing traf-
fic in mind.
The work was contrasted by number of drivers
with earlier construction on the upper stretches Of
Connecticut into Wheaton and on the Rockville pike
north Of Bethesda where delays and long stalled lines
Of traffic were unavoidable because of the nature Of
the work. 81
The foresight in planning this paving in order to
prevent tieups was admirable
It just shows what can happen when public
agency and the public are patient with each other.

The poor District of Colum,

even a few public clay tennis

This writer feels that not

Senator Barry Goldwater's enthusiastic reception
this week at Walter Johnson High School showed UNI
mistakably that he appeals to considerable segment
of the population.
We do not intend to comment at this time on his
political beliefs which conservative Suffice it to
say that he is articuate handsome possesses sense
OF hslmor and, above ALL refuses to take himself
seriously
We have bunch that these traits almost as
much as what he says play major role in attracting
the kind of crowd that jammed the school to hear him.
In fact was the largest political gathering in an off
election year that we can remember. And we've been
around this county for many years.
We believe, too, that his speeches are good for
the country in the of providing clear alter
native to the policies pursued by the present Demo-
cratic administration. They stimulate thought and
argument and force people to reexamine their beliefs
and attitudes in the light of his proposals For Senator
Goldwater makes no secret of what he believes and
what he would do if he were in the White House.
This is the essence of the twoparty system under
which our nation has grown and prospered. Without
strong opposition and dissent there would be little or
no incentive for the party in power to assess its policies
and to ponder its effect the minority as well as the
majority.

Circuit Court Judge James H Pugh demonstrated
graphically this week why Montgomery County en-
joys envable reputation throughout the nation as
place which is free of serious crime.
In imposing maximum 20-year prison sentence
on man convicted of armed robbery, Judge Pugn
made it clear that county residents are entitled to and
going to get all the protection they need from law
breakers.
His action followed in the tradition established
by two of his predecessors Judges Charles W. Wood
ward and Stedman Prescott in dealing with habitual
criminals For the offense to which the defenadnt
pleaded guilty was not his first-hs record showed
three previous robbery convictions And his latest in
volved gun battle with two county policemen
There some who may say the sentence was
overly severe that fails to take into account the cir
cumstances which made this turn against society,"
that it embtters him, and that it prevents his rehabi
tation.
While we sympathize with this groups desire to
convert criminals into aw-abding useful citizens we
cannot agree that society must be menaced by those
who have repeatedly shown their defiance of the law
Any lesser sentence would merely turn this man lose
earlier with assurance, based his previous rec
ord, that he would try to change his ways.
We congratulate Judge Pugh on his firmness and
his obvious intention to keep Montgomery County

four United States senators to
represent this country at the
meeting: Fulbright (Ark.),

Two other international meet

these have also been made by

Senate has been debating the
subject of foreign aid. To give
the President what he wants
for foreign aid has been likened
to giving him a blank check -
for, under this plan, he could
spend hundreds and even thou

about as he chooses, not only
this coming year but for each
of five years. Many members
of Congress feel that they have
no right to obligate future Con-

Save Clay courfs

The current attempt of many
residents of Montgom cry
County to. save the few re-
naming public clay tennis
courts in the County deserves
more than the continued hack
neyed insistance of the Park
and Planning Commission to
make available to- the public
only asphalt tennis courts. Mr..
Rubini, the Commissions as
sociate director of parks, is
said to have claimed that the
cost of maintaining clay courts
is prohibitive, and that all over
the country, clay courts were
being torn up in favor of as
phalt.
Mr.. RuDlnl was making
these same general, unspecific
statements two years ago.
They do neither him nor the
Commission credit. Based on
an analysis of the Commits
sions' budgets, this writer has
estimated that the reconver-
sion cost of clay courts to as
phalt courts would have paid
the maintenance cost of all the
public clay courts formerly in
the County for at least eight
years.
The actual cost of maintain
ing clay courts is small. The
relative cost In relation to the
cost of the County's recreation
program is miniscule. There
is considerable extra cost to
tennis players using asphalt
courts from the wear on tennis
balls and tennis shoes from
that kind of surface-to say
nothing of the difference as
phalt surfacing makes on leg
muscles. To claim that to
maintain six or a dozen clay
courts would be prohibitive is
so ridiculous as to put the
good faith of the claimant in
question. A few years ago,
the cost of maintaining 16 clay
courts was only 81, 500 to ST 300
a year.
When this writer came to
live in Montgomery County,
there were a considerable num-
Der of public clay tennis courts
in the County which were well
maintained. No claim of pro
hibitive cost" was made. Later,
under the current Commission
and Mr.. Rubini, the courts
were allowed to deteriorate,
and asphalt courts forced upon
those desiring to play on pub
lie courts, despite the known
