Stop MeddIing. Mr.. SfoIzenbach

forceful, noholdS-barred approach to prob
lem is sometimes the best way to focus public atten
ton and concern on it.
Park and Planning Commission member Donald
E. Gingery used this technique quite effectively, we
thought in his verbal assault early this week on c.
Darwin Stozenbach, administrator of the National
Capital Transportation Agency.
At issue was the avowed intention of Mr. Stolzen-
bach and other mass transit advocates to relegate
highways to an extremely minor role in formulating
program for the easy and efficient movement of We
hicles and goods throughout the Washington Metro
politan Area.
1t has been only few weeks since Mr.. Stolen
bach tried unsuccessfuly to block the progress of
plans for vitality important section of the District of
Coumbas inner loop freeway, which ties in with the
suburban Maryland highway system.
Mr. Gingery who represents the Montgomery
County Planning Board on the National Capital Re-
giona Planning Council made it clear that he, for
one not going to stand by idly while the highway
program, so essential to suburban Maryands welfare,
was scuttled by the freeway haters.
AS Mr. Gingery has consistently pointed out, the
Washington Mass Transit Survey has insisted that
both highways and mass transit facilities needed.
Unfortunately, Mr. Stozenbach has proved singuarly
incapable of following the survey recommendations.
Instead he has attempted to substitute his own judy
ment for those of the experts who made the woyear
study which the very legislation setting up his own
transportation agency is based
AS result the transportation agency admins
traitor has antagonized the officials with whom he
must work and whose approval he must get in order
to proceed with his transit plans This is as
true in suburban Virginia it is in suburban Mary
land.
Obviously Mr.. Stolzenbach's controversial nature,
so evident during his sojoum in Montgomery County,
has not changed since his elevation to the Transports
ton agency and the removal of his dwelling to Wash
ington.
He would be wise to stop meddling in the bust
ness of planning and building highways in which he
has had as little experience in building subways and
concentrate on the task of preparing transpor
taon plan as quickly as possible embodyng the rec
concentrations of the Mass Transit Survey.

Junkets at the taxpayers expense have long
been practiced by too many members of Congress.
For the initiated junkets consist of tours around
the world, ostensiby to inspect military bases ag
ricutural programs the effect of economic as
sistance on other nations. Legislators participating
in these publicy-supported trips usually manage to
include considerable amount of sighteeing during
their peregrinations.
Now it seems that Montgomery County is not
immune to the junket disease Six high officials of
the school system, headed by the superintendent of
schools and the president of the Board of Education
have gone off to California to look at some junior
colleges and perhaps university two. They
might even look in on some elementary and high
schools.
We're all for travel AS the saying goes it's
broadening But it's also very expensive especially
for six executives who accustomed to going first
class
Isn't superintendent of schools qualified to look
around by himself and report back? Or the president
of the School Board who has never lacked for words?
And why California? What's the matter with New
York. or New Jersey? Can it be that only sunny
California has junior colleges worth looking at?
Well, when you spend around $50 million year
for schools, the cost of 6000-mile round trip for
six high-priced officials doesn't amount to much-or
so School Board must have thought in authorizing
the trip. After ALL they might have time to take in
Disneyand and relax from their aruous abors before
returning with fresh outlook on things.

The Twist

Now sister, 1.-THE Twist" is dance and
is twister blister; am telling you mister,
if you have sister who becomes a twister
men can't resister, and, mister, you'll lose
your sister.
And mister, l know what 1 am talking
about, because my daughters night crawling
cohorts (the same ones who introduced me to
the muumuu hunt this past summer) took me
to the new Mungummery County Institution:
the RRCC of Poolesville, to learn the mystery
of the modern dance known as "The Twist"
as she is practced by the rip-roaring crazy
cats of the River Road Country Club.
II happened about like as follows. My
rebel daughter, who has been studying SO
GINA, returned home for a little fun and
relaxation. She tells me that she must come
back into Mungummery County every so
often in order to keep from getting stale
from reading too many heavy books, and that
IL Is unhealthy for a young lady with lot Of
King to restrict her activities to the narrow
boundaries of Virginia.
So the muumuu crowd convenes once
again; the back lot begins to get crowded
with convertibles, the two dogs perk up; the
phone rings a little bit more, and the food
disappears faster than usual This is good
conditioner for the coming period of peace to
be celebrated with appropriate meditation
and devout thoughts by the good Mungum-
merry County pretzel-benders
So find myself on the way to a dance
at Poolesyille. That reminds me of about
thirty years ago when we used to dance on
Saturday nights in some hay loft over coun-

Wick Byron's Column

Maryland's senior United States Senator,
John Marshall Butler, made a wise decision
when he announced he would not seek re-
election after two terms
Senator Buffers record in the Senate is
pretty weak. He is a gentleman to his
fingertips but he lacks the traits that make
good United States Senators. And Maryland
deserves to be represented by men of real
Senatorial stature.
There is no reason to speculate on why
Senator Butler decided not to seek reelection.
That is his business And no good purpose
would be served in pointing out various weak.
nesses which indicated defeat If reelection
attempts were made. Suffice to say that he
has made his decision and the Republican
Party chiefs are busy thinking of candidate
possibilities.
Here in Montgomery County is pos
sible candidate who would stand good
chance of getting elected.
This possible candidate we have in mind
is proven vote-getter. This person is prob
ably the mast astute political thinker in
Maryland including Theodore Roosevelt
McKeldin. This person is the perfect example
of one with political sense of the high type
something one has or doesn't have; it
can't be acquired.
The person we have in mind could start
a campaign that would dazzle all of Mary
land. And regardless of the person put up
by Democrats, the one we have in mind
could persuade an awful lot of Democrats
to vote for a Republican candidate.
1t is rather doubtful that this person
would consider giving up very fine position
to enter race that would be nothing but
hard work for almost year. But it might
be possible to persuade her to run.
We're talking about the first woman in
Maryland to be appointed to the Circuit
Court Bench. And not only was she APP

cratic lawyers with great personal followings.
Talk to anyone who knows anything
about politics and he will agree that Judge
Kathryn Lawlor Shook is endowed with more
than average intelligence beauty, charm and
natural political sense.
If Kathryn Lawlor Shook made up her
mind to seek the United States Senate seat to
be left by Senator Butler, it would not be too
difficult to picture her as the winning can
didate. She is a campaigner second to none
in the State of Maryland. And those who
think McKeldin is tops as political CAM

Some years ago it was suggested that

Not only is the material used in the

difficult to read due to the size of the type.
Newton Steers has difficult campaign
ahead of him. He needs every ounce Of
energy and every political thought for his
own fight. Therefore, it is suggested that
Steers give up the editorship Of something
that does not reflect the true ability of this

for the important post he now seeks.

Star Boarders'
Farm Problem

They're back! The farmers
"star boarders," rats, are NOV
ing back into barns and other
farm buildings for the winter.
They're back to enjoy Mr.. Farm
er's hospitality, says George
Vapaa, Kent county agricultural
agent. Look around, he warns,
for every rat you see there are
at least 10 more that remains
unseen.
Rats are filthy animals that
cost farmers millions of dollars
every year. Each one eats about
40 pounds of food per year and
contaminate twice this amount.
In addition, they do lot of
damage to property, the agent
says.
He suggests cleaning up trash
and junk piles to prevent rats
from moving into their favorite
shelters. Store grain and feed
where rats can't "help them
selves" When they get hun
cry, they'll move on.
