Montgomery COP. Seeks
Cut in Property Tax Levy

the same property unless the
property has been reclassified
in a master coming plan.
Planks in the Republican
platform also include:
A charter change to require
each district to elect its own
council member rather than all
being elected at large. The two
at-large seats would be re-
tanned.
Constitutional amendments
providing for a full-time States
Attorney, school board prima-
ries, abolishing the Orphans
Court in favor of probate sec
ton of the Circuit Court, and
appointment rather than cleo
Circuit Court Clerk, and sur
veyor.
Fair representation in Con-
gress and the Maryland As
sembly.
Special use taxes on such
things as cars and admissions,
along with better fiscal man
agement, might well enable a
cut in the present basic prop
erty tax rates of $3.50 per 500
assessed valuation, according
to Hal Lackey, chairman of the
platform committee and a
member Of Montgomery'S Re
publican Central Committee.
Farm Assessment Law
Candidates also want to re-
wise the farm assessment law
providing tax relief for open
spaces. Landowners who have
enjoyed low taxes would be
subject to a capital gains tax
when their acreage was sold
for high-denSity, commercial, or
industrial use.

Star Staff Writer

Aiming at the home-owners'
pocketbook, Montgomery Coun-
ty Republicans yesterday
pledged to work for reduction
Of the basic property tax levy.
The pledge was made in the
party's 1862 campaign platform
which made it clear that taxes
and the fiscal policies of the
Democratic controlled county
government will be the key is
sue this election year.
The platform also promised
to halt the appointment to
county and bi-county agencies
OF persons whose business in
terests could benefit by their
public position, and to fight
moves to break up the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
But the strongest language
IN the platform was reserved
for the tax question. The Re-
publican candidates, each Of
whom had a hand in drafting
the platform, charged the in
cumbent Democratic admins
tration with "a woeful lack of
responsibility"
Democrats in eight years
have spiraled the tax rate to a
point where it now lis a detri-
ment to the (county'O eco
nomic development" the party
charged.
County Costs Up 1907
County and school operating
costs have skyrocketed nearly
$50 per cent while the popula-
ton has increased approx
mately SO per cent. Republicans
said. adding:
I'VE deplore the cavalier dis
regard Of the present council
for the homeowner's tax bur-
den by its failure to utilize more
extensively the recommended
tons Of its Fiscal Advisory
Committee with respect to
sources OF revenue"
Legislative and council can
didates earlier came out for
creation of a special fact-find-
ing commission on water pollu-
ton, such as has been reported
in the Potomac.
Public hearings on council
appointments to weed out con-
flicts of interest also were
promised in the COP. plat
form. Hearings would be similar
to those conducted by the
United States Senate.
The platform also stated
that the Republicans would
oppose any plan designed to
place the land planning process
under the political control of
the council"
The document itself did not
make specific reference to at
tempts to break up the park
and planning commission, but
G. o. P. officials said later they
would work to keep the COM
mission alive.
Prince Georges Republicans
called for the elimination of
the commission in their plat
form, as did a controversial
governmental study presented
to the Council last month.
Several leaders Of the Demo-
cratic party have stated pub
licly they want coming and
land planning to become a
function Of county govern
ment.
The Montgomery Republic
cans said. however, that any
changes needed in the commits
sion are at the procedural and
administrative levels. and can
be accomplished under the
present setup.
Special Use Taxes
Also, on the planning prob
lem, the Republicans want a
36-month interval between the
filing of coming applications on

The spectre of the corny melo-
drama stopped him momentari-
ly, but he pushed on, well, it's
been wonderful"
I'm scared but not scared
enough to rum" said Mrs. Ann
Davis of Key West. She stayed.
Others fled the Florida island
nearest Cuba by plane and bus
but most people stayed and put
out their flags.
In Los Angeles, a child asked,
"Oh, mother, are we all going
to be killed." Said her mother:
Il can't say that we are or
aren't. You know that God has
His time to call us all when lie
is ready"
And from Moscow, an APP
dispatch indicated the Russian
man in the street was as fright
ened as we were, which in this
week of history may have been
the best consolation and hope.

The Polish freighter Bialystok

Official sources have indi-
Gated the 10,000-ton Bialystok

States arms quarantine against
Cuba.
The Polish press said the

Algeria Rops
u. S. Actions

ALGIERS, Oct. 81 (AP)-
The Algerian government today
condemned the American arms
quarantine of Cuba as a threat
to world peace.
A communique said the gov
eminent theoretically con-
dennis the use of force" against
Cuba.
The Algerian leaders have
never concealed their sympathy
for the Castro regime, but they
have hitherto avoided an Off
cial condemnation of the Uni
ted States action.
Premier Ahmed Ben Bella's
cabinet issued a communique
declaring that the present ten
sion in the Caribbean was due
to the American blockade.
1.-THE crisis can only be solved
in full respect for the sovereign
| ty of the Cuban people," the
communique said 1t asserted
the government gave its COM
plete backing to mediation eff
forts of the non-aligned nations
and United Nations Acting Sec
rotary General U Thant.
Earlier, Mr.. Ben Bella said
Cuba was an example of free
dom from oppression in Latin
America and Algeria should be-
come just such an example for
the nations of Africa.
Mr.. Ben Bella'S statements
we're included In a 2,000-word
article that dealt at length
with his recent meetings with
Premier Fidel Castro of Cuba
and President Sekou Toure of
Guinea.
Pointedly, there was not a
single mention in the article
of Mr.. Ben Bella's meeting in
Washington with President
Kennedy before the Algerian
leaders trip to Cuba.
Mr.. Ben Bella said the Castro
regime had made some early
mistakes but had corrected
them.

ABUNDANT LIFE
BY ORAL ROBERTS
HOW TO GET YOUR PRAYERS ANSWERED

ing for Cod to answer in His
own way and in His own time.
When a person prays he must
appeal to the love of God. Now.
Cod is a good God. He is too
good to do wrong, too wise to
make a mistake, too strong to
fail. Come to God in the way
that pleases Him most. The
Bible says, God is love-"
Another step toward getting
prayers answered is using wiH.
| believe that faith is part will,
and to have faith without will
power is to have half-faith-
little faith. There must be de-
termination and character that
stands up and dares to believe
Cod-that knows God wants to
give His blessing, and will set
tie for nothing less.
When | was a little boy we
had a neighbor who had a new
car. One day the car turned
over and pinned his son under
it and, although it was not
humanity possible to lift such
a weight, this man, whose name
was Mr.. Rainier, picked up one
end of that car by himself and
lifted it completely off his
child. He couldn't possibly
have done that on any other
occasion. How did he do it?
His will gave him new strength.
That extra strength, that ex-
ira power given from God to
help us meet emergencies
flooded his being, and for a
few minutes it made him a
Superman.
Cod is a good God! He wants
to give the very best He has
to us, and He is waiting now
to answer our prayers.

One of the greatest state
mentS in the Bible is, And the
Lord heard and answered" That
statement is sweet music to a
person seeking God in an init
mate, personal manner.
At some time in every life
there comes a need to pray.
Every person reaches a point
where the sky looks black and
the horizon IF the future is
clouded with uncertainty-then
he wants his prayers to be
answered.
However, there are times
when there seems to be no way
to get a prayer through or an
answer in return. What is the
keyP Is there some strange Sc
cret that God is trying to teach
uSp / believe there is a way to
get prayers answered.
The Bible says that those who
aOa1 upon the Lord shall renew
their strength. And each Of US
needs A dailv renewing of
strength. We need our deter
limitations strengthened, our
expectant faith made stronger,
and our love increased in every
way. If our prayers were an
swered Immediately every time,
we would not wait before Cod.
So the Bible says, They that
wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength"
There is no man or woman
who can pray and expect God to
answer every time in an instant.
There are many testings of
character, many influences
brought to bear upon prayer
life and the answer that Cod
would give. 1t is necessary to
understand the value of wait
