suspect that Governor Tawes feels the
same way about it.
He is reported to be interested in running
for reelection in 1862. The political feasibility
Of such candidacy will depend to very large
extent on what happens at Annapolis during
the next 80 days.
The task confronting the Governor is to
propose and to secure the enactment Of a legis
lative program that will (a) be good for the
State, (b) please the people, and (c) please
the politicians These three things ought to
be synonymous, but they frequently are not.
The politicians, both in and out of the
Legislature, usually have their own provincial
axes to grind. Those axes are not necessarily
anti-social = just provincial.
Thus the Governor and his legislative lead
ers find themselves yielding a point here and
point there in order to scare UP the neces-
sary votes for some other measure that may
be more important. This is particularly true
when governor is entering the second half of
his term of office and has already dissipated

Mac Matthias Has
Chosen His Staff
An Opinion

1t is understandable why some Republican
leaders in Montgomery County are somewhat
surprised at the office staff chosen by Con-
gresham Charles Matthias. newly elected
members of the House of Representatives
from the Sixth District
One school of thought assumed Matthias
would have strong Administrative Assistant
from Montgomery County, since this county
is the most important unit in his district
Instead, the Congressman has not appointed
anyone to this position. At least. he has not
designated any of his appointees as his
Administrative Assistant.
Then there is another group which feels
that Matthias is waiting to see what the State
Legislature does about reapportionment. 1t
may be that Montgomery will be taken out of
the Sixth District. And if this happents it is
felt that Charles Matthias can stay in Congress
just as long as he likes simply because he
comes from Frederick and most of the coun-
ties would give him majority of the votes at
every election. This is not necessarily true
if the populous Montgomery remains in the
district
These people feel Matthias has left open
the most important post on his staff until this
question of reapportionment is resolved And
if by chance Montgomery stays in his Sixth
district, he will forthwith appoint strong
and effective Montgomery County man for his
Administrative Assistant.
1t must be said that Matthias made some
powerfully strong Republican friends and
many Democratic ones in this county during
his primary and general election fight. And
although he did not consult too many of them
concerning his choice of a staff, they continue
to believe that he is one of the brightest lights
that the local COP has seen for long time.
And they are perfectly willing to observe for
reasonable period before offering sug-
gestions.
Matthias is quite aware of the Importance
of an intelligent and politically adept staff.
Therefore, 1t must be assumed he chose the

be encountered with as much local legislation
Of a controversial nature as we have had In
past 9Oday sessions. By "local legislation"
mean that which involves only Montgomery
County or the Park and Planning Commission
or the Sanitary Commission.
During November and December our dele
cation met with the County Council, the two
bi-county commissions. and many private or
civic groups. We also held three public hear
ings at Rockville
The haul of purely local problems was
rather slim. There viii be plenty of bills, but
they apparently will not have the high explo
sive content of other years.
But don't get the idea that it will be
dull session.
The dynamite is to be found in the state
wide bills, such as reapportionment of the Leg
islature itself, redistricting to provide a place
for our new member of Congress, taxes, addi
tional State financial aid to the counties, over
haul of Maryland's horse-racing system, taxes,
control of savings and loan associations sea-
food legislation that will keep the tidewater
boys in swivel and taxes. To name but
few, as the man said
So sort of hope that we will go all the
way through the session without too many
controversial local bills. That will give us a
freer hand to cope with the big stuff.
ID. c. Vote
1t is likely that the first item that we will
put in the hopper will be joint resolution
to ratify the 23rd Amendment of the United
States Constitution, which, il ratified by 35
states, will permit District of Columbia resi-
dents to vote in presidential elections. Massa.
chusetts, Hawaii and New Jersey have already
ratified.
The Montgomery delegation voted several
weeks ago to sponsor such a resolution and
to ask Prince Georges to join us. A good will
gesture to our neighbors in Washington.
Copies of Bills
We will continue our customary service of
delivering one set of all Senate and House
bills to the police stations at Rockville, Beth.
esda, Silver Spring and Glenmont, where they
may be inspected at any hour of day or night.
Anyone who needs copy of a particular
bill can usually get it by dropping post card
to our clerk, Mrs. Nan Pagano, Room ZOE, State
House, Annapolis, Maryland. 1t helps IL you
know the number Of the bill.
The one thing that is almost impossible
under the primitive conditions at Annapolis is

Boys and Rifles
Can Wreak Havoc
According to Smith

With good bit of resolve and some
times feeling kind of mean we resisted
our progenys persistent requests for a rifle
as a Christmas present.
Our adamant position was largely out Of
concern for the safety of a 12year-old boy
turned loose with a lethal weapon and we
really didn't give too much thought to the
element of mischief. Nevertheless, we re-
ceived communique this week that made US
doubly glad that we maintained our position
even though we aren't about to admit
that we're lax IN our enforcement of parental
control.
The communique was from the Potomac
Edison Company, and it told about more of
the senseless damage inflicted by thoughtless
sharpshooters on vital electrical equipment in
the Potomac area 1t just made us happy
that our youngster isn't as yet exposed to
the temptation to try out his shooting ability,
even though we feel confident that he'd shy
away from such stunts.

the various officials, it appears that the new
Republican Congressman gave this matter
deep thought and serious consideration.
Congressman Matthias appointed as his
Executive Assistant Mrs Edwin G. Moore Of
Sumner. She was until recently Special and
Confidential Assistant to the Administrator Of
the Small Business Administration. This was
a job that came under the Hatch Act
Therefore, she was not actively engaged in
political work. Mrs. Moore also worked in the
office of the late Senator Robert A. Taft She

power failures affecting some 200 homes. The
narksmen, surely, had no idea of the poten.
tial effects of their prank, but it turned out
to be whopper.
The power failure, it seems, occurred dur.
Ing severe cold wave. Most of the affected
homes were without heat until the damage
was repaired because they relied on electrical
equipment to control their heating system
and farmers who have learned to depend on
modern methods were unable to milk their
cows or grind their feed
This isn't the first such case reported BY
Potomac Edison but it was one of the more
serious. And, like most of the others, it
appears to be the handiwork of youngsters
welding rifles they have no right to own
on the basis of their display of complete
lack of responsibility
Boys old enough to handle rifles should
have enough judgment to put them to proper
use. Until such judgment is established
though, they should be denied access to such
instruments of destruction.
