Montgomery
Foes Debate
Money Issues

n The merits of Montgomery
County's present administra-
ton and the way it handles the
taxpayers money were debated
last night by incumbent candi-
dates and those who are out
to replace them.
The county council rivals
were among speakers at a po-
litical rally sponsored by the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Cham
ber of Commerce at the audi
torium of Woodward g. 10th
rop's Chevy Chase store.
Montgomery County Repub-
slicans didn't turn a shovelful
of dirt" on needed Bethesda
area projects when they held
office eight years ago, Council
woman Stella Werner told the
yaudience.
= Disregarding subdued Misses
from a G. o. P.-dominated
audience of 800, Mrs. Werner
answered critics of the Demo-
cratic administration by ticking
off a list of schools, roads and
other county projects completed
during her last two terms.
In obvious reference to the
tax issue, which is close to
dominating most campaigns
for local office this year, Mrs.
Werner said the National
Municipal League has called
Montgomery's financial pro-
gram the best of any local
government"
Republican candidate John
H. Hiser countered that the
county government was "a
growing bureaucracy" influ-
enced by its nearness to the
"puffed-up Federal octopus"
He opposed the county'S public
accommodations law and called
for blanket cuts in the budget
But Councilman Stanley R.
Frosh, over protests from the
audience, told the Republican
candidates either to stop speak
ing of waste in government OF
to produce examples.
Answering a question from
the floor, Mr.. Hiser said he
had been told that there was
waste in the construction pro-
gram.

County Asks
Dismissal Of
Bias Suit

RICHMOND, Oct. 9 (AP).-
Motions asking dismissal of a
school desegregation suit In
5tiated by the Justice Depart
rnent have been filed in Federal
court here by Prince George
County officials and Virginia's
attorney general.
Prince George officials con-
lend the Justice Department
has no congressional authority
TO institute such a suit. Their
motion also says the suit is
not legally valid because any
rights claimed should be as
serted by individuals subject to
discrimination.
Both the county and the at
forney general contend the suit
fails to name the Virginia Pupil
Placement Board as a defend
ant, and therefore is not valid.
Under State law, the placement
board has sole power to assign
public school pupils in Vir-
Kinia.
The Justice Department filed
suit for desegregation of Prince
George schools on behalf Of
Negro military and civilian per-
,sonnel stationed at Fort Lee.
Fort Lee is in the county, but
Negro children of its personnel
ARE taken by county buses to
schools in nearby Petersburg.
The suit contends the Negro
schildren of the Army personnel
ARE subject to discrimination
because they are forced to at
@rend all-Negro schools. 1t was
filed September IA.
! No date has been set for
hearings on the Prince George
Officials and attorney generals
motion.

ICE HOUSE IN 1926
Historically, the roots of
the store troce back to
1926, when George T.
Curtis, ST., stoked two Of
his sons, George T., Jr.,
and Fred P. for the $3.50
price of q Model T truck
to open an ice delivery
business in the Southeast
section of Washington.
While on their ice rounds,
the boys discovered that
moving trunks and furni-
ture was more lucrative.
They expanded into the
moving business with one
van in 1927. Three years
and three vans later, they
built q warehouse and or
eonized storage facilities.
The moving and storage
business led as q matter of
course to the secondhand
furniture field. The boys
opened O small retail store
in on ancient 3-story farm
house in 1896. It was
located in the 1000 block
Of Nichols Ave. Sc, .on
the present store site.
The Curtis brothers soon
found that the furniture
business was outstripping
the moving and storage
volume. Three more sons,
Harry l., Archie B. and
Arthur B. entered the force
and they erected q large,
modern store for new fur
niture dispIoy, with l6, 900
square feet of spoce, in
April of 1888.

the Curtis brothers would
eother at the store to drink
coffee and await the return
of the afternoon delivery
trucks. Never wos q single
minute vested in their eff
forts to give better and
more dependable service.
This policy is just as active
todoy os it wos then.

A NEW CONCEPT
IN SELLING

IN 1855, curtis Bros. Of
tered q new concept of
furniture soIes to the Mo-
tons CopitoI. Very shortly
otter they started with
the four choirsD the boys
went on q buying spree.
They speculoted that by
purchasing furniture in
large quantities, it wos
possible to poss the savings
of this high inventory
along to the customer in
the form of lower COMPETE
tive prices. Their expert
ment worked! This method
Of operation erected,
among the residents of
Southeast Washington and
then the entire city, q large
following of loyal and
satisfied customers. It was
time for expansion.
PROGRESS POSTPONED
IN l941
World War II put aside all
plans for expansion. Two
of the brothers entered
military service and the
others worked in Conmu-
nifty Defense.
After the wot q buying
fever took hold Of the
country, and the brothers,
together again, resumed
their pottern Of growth to
meet the new furniture
demands of Metropolitan
Washington. They added
several warehouses to in
crease inventory and seIec-
ton, introduced q fleet of
uP-to-dote vans to insure
quicker delivery and mod
ernized the credit system
