Hail High Court Ruling

State and county reapportion-
ment supporters expressed jubi-
lance this week over the us.
Supreme Court ruling that fed
eral courts may step into cases
where State legislatures are
malapportioned
Officials of the Maryland and
Montgomery County Fair Rep
resentation Committees are OPP
timistic that the citizens of pop
ulous counties adjoining the Ma
tons Capital will soon see their
full voting rights achieved.
Said Royce Hanson president
OF the Maryland Committee:
"The Supreme Courts deci-
sion in the Tennessee case is
most encouraging for the under
represented people Of Maryland.
1t stops once and for all the
vicious merry-go round Of NAL
apportionment which tells the
citizens to go to the legislature,
which tells the citizens to go to
hell"

Chevy Chase
INeWSnnan
Wins Award

Edmund H. Worthy, jr., of
Chevy Chase has won a $1,000
award for literature in contest
sponsored by the Washington
Chapter of the National Society
Of Arts and Letters.
Worthy, a writer for the
Washington Daily News before
returning to Yale University in
the fall to complete studies for
a bachelors degree, won over
189 other contributors.
The award for literature was
the 1862 selection of the Nation
al Society, which each year
chooses one field in which to
given an award. Worthys con-
tribution will be entered in ma
tional contest, to be held in San
Antonio. Tev., May 8.11.
The writing which won the
Washington award for Worth
tells Of feeding animals at the
ZOO.
Worthy, who has completed
three years at Yale, dropped out
a year for health reasons and
now expects to be graduated in
1868. After that he will study
at the University Of London
and at the Columbia University
School of Journalism.

mittee, described the decision
as a "key that opens the way"
"But the fight is not yet won,"
he cautioned. I'VE will still have
to work with the legislature and
perhaps constitutional conven-
ton before fair representation
is a reality"
Thorson declared the decision
Shows we were right i'm insist
ing on strong legislation TO cor
rect the malapportionment.
The Maryland legislature has
not reapportioned the state
since the Constitution was
adopted in the 1905. Strenuous
efforts by the Maryland and
Montgomery County Commit
tees brought the issue to head
in 1861 and 1862, but i'm both
instances the measures failed.
In 1861 the reapportionment
bill failed to pass the House of
Delegates by single vote; this
year a bill did pass the House
but was defeated In the rural
controlled Senate.

Although revenues from rec
reation taxes are up, they
pointed out, the annual sum
paid Park and Planning for
maintenance is increasing at a
faster rate, leaving less money
each year for actual recreation
development.
This year, according to the
Allied Civic Group, the main
tenance figure comes to about
AZ per cent of the Recreation
Departments budget.
Higher Maintenance Costs
"The Department has no con-
troll over these funds, simply
lis bursting them to the
M-NCPPC on request" the ACC
statement said. More than 80
per cent of the increase in the
budget is to meet higher main
tenance costs"
The ACC pointed out that the
budget recommended by County
Manager Mason A. Butcher ac-
tually represents a reduction in
the Recreation Department pro.
gram, despite its increased size,
and called for "a more realistic
estimate of maintenance costs"
from Park and Planning.
Maintenance costs have been
overes ma ted by t IN e
M-NCPPC," the ACC said, re.
ferring to an estimated 100000
surplus reported by Park and
Planning last year.
Last years Recreation Beard
chairman, Frank Bliss, said,
however that the surplus. re.
suited from other sources than
the county's maintenance con
tribution.

A. spokesman for the Mont
gomery County Civic Fedora
ton also took issue with Park
and Plannlng's maintenance
charges, declaring:
1T is believed that so per
cent of the payments for CON
tractual services and all of the
net increase of $4,000 over the
present year represents pay
ment to the Park and Planning
Commission for the cost of
maintaining services on COM
mission facilities"
He added that effective APP
praisal would require more
ample information on the ma
ture and trends of these costs"
II. F. Brownfield, chairman
of the Recreation Board, told
the County Council that pro-
gram services appear to be
Suffering at the expense of in
creasing maintenance costs"
He asked for a restoration of
some $4,000 of the $4,000 in
cuts com m n d G d by the
County Manager from the
$785,000 budget. The current
Recreation Department budget
is $616,315.
Observers noted that the
county could take enc of three
steps to offset increasing main
tenanee charges from Park and
Planning:
i. Raise the present Accent
recreation tax; 2. Pay part of
the recreation tax out of gen.
eral funds, and 3. Ask Park
and Planning to pay more or
all Of the maintenance costs.
