The County Council has made two excellent
choices in appointing ]. Hodge Smith and Page Hop
kins to the Board of Appeals to succeed Mrs Mary
pired. And the reappointment of Everett Jones also
is wise one.
Both Mr.. Smith, an attorney, and Mr.. Hopkins,
who heads land surveying firm, are widely known
and respected for their sense and their dis
like for red tape Unfortunately both characteristics
have not been overly present during board deiber-
atoms. AS result there have been increasing COM
plants the legal techncates and repettve testi
mony which have marked many of the hearings.
We believe the two appointees will be a healthy
influence in sharply reducing the time needed to hear
the various and in acceerating decisions After
all, the board is not court of law It is intended to
assist citizens not to make their task more difficult
by forcing them to gauntlet of legal techncali-
ties.

Tawes On Trial

The upcoming session of the General Assembly
will show in more ways than one whether ]. Willard
Tawes is man of his word when he promises to sup
port reapportionment legislation
So far, Mr.. Tawes has failed to reveal exactly
what he has in mind to correct the shameful situation
in which Montgomery County residents have only one
twelfth much representation the citizens Of Som
erset, Kent, or some other rural Maryland county.
Last year, as the people of Montgomery County
may recall the Governor didn't to realize what
he was supposed to do when the chips were down on
reapporonment legislation 1t is true that he wagged
his head and shook his finger at recactrant rural leg
sators who refused to concede the shocking unfair
ness Of the present legislative makeup. And he
made statements about how he was going to correct
things. But his method of accomplishing this was
couched in such homily 'half loaf is better than
nore" politics is the art of the impossible" and
finally, 1--WE can't antagonize these delegates"
The result, of course, was just what some unkind
souls had predicted-no legislation at ALL Fairness and
right had bowed to compromise, which in turn had
given into expediency which surrendered to Tawes do
nothingsm
The French, extremely realistic people, have a
saying, tout passera" meaning all this will pass"
And perhaps since this is an election year. it will come
to pass that Mr.. Tawes will be inspired by the light
emnating from the delightful prospect of another four
years in the State House and act like Governor.
For there is no doubt that Governor has ample
power at his command to swing reluctant legislators
into line Former Governor w. Preston Lane proved
this more than decade ago when he pushed through
hostile legislature sales tax which has turned out
to be of the main stays of the states financial pro-
grams.
One by one, the delegates and senators were
called upstairs and told sometimes persuasively some
times pleadingly and sometimes abruptly, that the
Governor meant it to go through. And it did
We have not heard of similar tactics by Governor
Tawes in the battle for reapportonment Instead he
issued press releases and permitted delegates from his
own county to remain away during crucial vote.
Indications that the compromisers will be out
in full force again when the session begins next month
There is talk, for example, of increasing the house
membership and leaving the senate unchanged This
is absolutely ridiculous. There be no substitute
for adequate and rightful reapportionment in both
houses of the legislature along with an ronclad guar
antee with regular periodic reapporionment to keep
pace with the growing urban population in the state

A Few Words
Some Figures About Us

You can let up and relax little bit now
Montgomery County is expected to add
only 1922 new residents during the decade
of the 1865.
That's something of drop from the 176,.
SGT that our county added from 1850 to 1860,
according to figures compiled by the Mary
land State Planning Department in booklet
called Maryland Population Forecasts"
Just where we're going to put all these
souls is question, one that's keeping lot Of
county developers hopping these days, along
with the educators and lot of others.
Montgomery - like Maryland as a state
- will continue to be young county, with
more than IS per cent of the population under
"a years of age in 1870.
About 20 per cent of us will be in the
1854 age class, while those above retirement
age viii entail just per cent of the county's
population.
Although growth during the current
decade will be almost as rapid as in the 10
years of the 1885, the percentage change
will be much less
But percentages also don't always mean
too much recall the statistician who
drowned crossing river with an average
depth of three feet?
The story is that we started small and
really grew from 1910 to 1860. In 1910, Mont

Let the People Know

For years, the American Medical Association has
been conducting successful campaigns to impress upon
the people the vital Importance of physicians in their
daily lives.
Even the drug manufacturers almost invariably
give doctors prominent place in their publicity And
every week television Drs Kildare and Ben Casey
save lives and heal minds to the everlasting glory of
the Woodworking physician.
It seems to that it's about time lawyers started
the public relations ball rolling, for they just as
essential in legal lives as the doctor in our phys
ical and mental lives.
What brought this to mind has been the savings
and loan debacle in which thousands of innocent per-
sons have been vctmzed by sharp legal and financial
practices. Many of them could have avoided tragedy
by checking with an attorney the claims made by
several of the firms involved claims which later
turned out to be false.
Unfortunately, many persons either lack clear
understanding of the attorneys role or fear that his
fee may be excessive Of course there are legal aid
societies in which lawyers contribute their services
without charge or for nominal fee. But these are
largely unpublicized in sharp contrast to the ply
Sicans charitable activities in clinics and hospitals
We believe it would be helpful for bar associa-
tons to undertake advertising campaigns to tell the
people what attorneys do for them, and how i'm
portant it is for them to have family attorney just
as they have family doctor.
Years ago. we read series of novels by Arthur
Tram about fictitious lawyer named Ephraim Tut
Those books as effective in humanizing attor-
neys as A. j. Cronin's "The CITADEL and Morton
Thompson's mot as a Stranger have been for ply
sicans This is the kind of publicity we think lawyers
need today.
It might be helpful, also, for the bar groups to
publish schedule of typical fees charged by lawyers
for specific services Just people know the aver
age doctor will charge from S. to So for an office
visit they should know just about how much they will
nave 10 pay Tor an office visit to attorney to OBJ
tain his advice.

II Tolls for Thee

Beating strategic retreat from his mo investi-
cation" stand, Governor j. Willard Tawes has now
guessed, albeit reluctantly to the necessity for
probe in next months General Assembly session of the
malodorous savings and loan mess.
The Governor however, is not one to strike bold
attitude anything without surrounding his position
with qualifications And he is sticking true to form in
his latest pronouncement
In the best tradition of his Eyes, butt administra-
ton, the one-time comptroller has made it clear
that to gain his support doubtful blessing at most
the investigation must be proper" whatever that
means
Judging from the vacilation that has character
lied Mr. Tawes tenure during the last three years. the
word proper" implies polite sparring between gen.
temen, with thought of subjecting anyone to
embarrassing questions.
This is not the kind of investigation the people
of Maryland need and want. Let Mr.. Tawes take
heed The thousands of investors who have lost their
deposits many of them their life savings not GO
ing to tolerate anything less than thorough, wide
spread and no-holdsbarred inquiry into one of the
most shameful episodes in the Free States history
They will want to know why Mr.. Tawes, with an
overwhelming Democratic majority in both houses of
the Legislature, failed to bring pressure in 1860 to
strengthen savings and loan regulatory bill which
he claims he vetoed because it was too weak
They will want to know, too, what role the Gov
errors House majority leader played in the dution
of the legislation and what if anything, the Governor
did to oppose this dark deed.
Finally, they will want to know why the man
from Crsfied has consistently tried to softpedal the
shocking facts uncovered by enterprising newsmen.
And they will not be put off any longer with soothing
syrupy platitudes
The bell tolls, Mr. Tawes, and it tolls for thee.

gomery County was mostly a quiet rural
area, with just little spillover from the
District of Columbia. Population at that time
was 1892.
World War II started things popping. In
the next 10 years we almost doubled, to 1884,
4Ol; in the 10 years following that we did
double and more. We grew to 340,92o, which
gave the census takers pretty good run for
their money in 1860
The Planning Department, which used a
couple of methods in making its projections
says we'll pretty well keep up the pace this
decade, with total population in 1865 expected
to be 415,600. In 1870 there will be 5O62OO of
us.
These figures are interesting in them.
selves, but they must be of especial interest to
business people and others like that. They
can plan for further business expansion in
the county and if the Soaring Sixties are now
actually getting off the ground, things look
good for the future
All this means that Montgomery Coun
V must be fairly good place to live. But
we can and should make it better for those
neighbors we're sure to get in the days
ahead.
Because if there's one thing certain = it's
that the Congress won't outlaw our popula
ton explosion. Not if its members expect to
get reelected.

Exactly 20 years ago the United States
was attacked by an island peopleswho needed
room to expand and raw materials for its
industries Here was an energetic people who
brought order and prosperity to regions that
had neither, but whose appetite became
Unsuitable with first victories and growing
power.
For the following four and a half years
we fought bloody war to drive the Japanese
back to their island home, and a million cas-
ualties were incurred to hberate the lands
overrun by them. When our forces were
finally mustered our campaigns began so

fought, died and finally prevailed as island

camps set in motion once again the commerce,
the industry and the government of the Dutch
East Indies after the Japanese left. But our
slogan at the time was that we had not de-
stroyed the Japanese to preserve old empires.
We backed the 80 million Indonesians in their
quest for selfdetermination. However, we did
not insist that the Dutch be compensated for
their confiscated businesses, possessions and
property. Neither did we utter a peep when
first all white Dutch were ordered out of IndO-
nesia, and then all property of those Indo-

disseised. Thus the Dutch Empire came to
an end. Dutchmen and Dutch Eurasians,
most of whom had never seen Holland, re-
turned to the Netherlands or refuged else
where. 1t stands as cruel an act of racialism
as any perpetrated in South Africa.
The Netherlands did retain the western
half of the second largest island in the world
- New Guinea This island 100 miles east of
Indonesia, is vast inaccessible one of raw
jungle and mountains as any man who served
there in our army can testify. 1t is sparsely
populated by aboriginal Papuans and pyg-
mics and few thousand Europeans. There
is no racial or cultural relationship between
these people and the Indonesians. No desire
has been expressed by these primitive tribes
to be saved nor to change governors, and the
Dutch have ministered to them for over 300
years! Sukarno's government, from its incep-
ton, laid claim to Dutch New Guinea though
its claim stems solely from the fact that the
Netherlands placed New Guinea in the Dutch
East Indies for administrative convenience!
Sukarno wants Dutch administration out
so that the beneficient Indonesian may move
in, and he threatens war to accomplish his
aim. The slogan of course is "the end of colo.
nialism." The implication is Indonesa's con.
quest would not be colonialism. The presump.
ton is that Indonesian colonists are not in the

join efforts to increase the
effectiveness of both. But our
dedication to the central pur-
