Montgomery County should
have an elected chief execu-
tive as well as a council and
appointed manager, according
to a special Allied Civic Group
committee.
The proposal was made in
the first of a series of reports
to the 70-association group by
its Government Operations
Committee, headed by Philip
Marcus.
The controversial electe d
executive suggestion was only
one recommendation in the IL
page report, which also sug-
gested:
l. Scrapping several elected
county posts, including those of
sheriff, register Of wills, coun-
ty surveyor, and the three part
time Orphans Court judges.
2. Giving, the council legisla-
tive powers all year round in
stead Of during a one-month
special session.
8. Increasing the county's
debt limit. To evade the limit,

ty Is creating too many special
taxing districts.
The report comes as the
County Council awaits its own
recommendations from Public
Administration Services, Inc, a
professional survey firm under

county operations.
The recommendations are ex-
.pected to be submitted to the
county in mid-July, within
days Of the council deadline to
get any suggested changes on
the referendum ballot for No
vember.
In arguing for an elected
executive, the civic group COM
mittee said this post would give
the county a better system Of
checks and balances" with the
council passing the laws and
the executive enforcing them.
The committee said an elect
ed executive would put county
administration into the hands
of a person directly responsible
to the people.

that the Circuit Court clerk

for a single full-time Judge

Voters in two Northern Vir-
ginia municipalities will go to
the polls Tuesday to select
mayors and councilmen who
have been campaigning on the
future governmental status Of
their communities.
A bitter election campaign is
being waged in the City OF
Fairfax primarily over planning
and the Councils move to city
status last year.
In the Town Of Vienna, can
didates have been waging a
quiet campaign dominated by
questions concerning possible
city status.
Write-In Candidate
In Fairfax, IL candidates are
running for six council seats,
and Mayor John c. Wood is
opposed by William E. Steph-
ems, q mailman running as q
write-in candidate.
Mayor Wood and five of the
six incumbent councilmen are
running as a ticket streSsing
the advantages Of city status
and defending their decision to
create q separate school system
for the 1963-64 school year.
The switch from town to city
status was made last summer
after Fairfax County announced
it was trying to consolidate
with the town Of Clifton into
a city, a move which would
have dissolved all town char
tiers.
Ruling on Mergers
Consolidation negotiations
were called off when circuit
court ruled that Virginia law
did not permit mergers Of coun-
ties and towns wholly within
them.
One councilman, E. A. Prich-
ard, who is running independS
emily Of the other incumbent
councilmen, disagreed with
their decision to make the town
q city, but he has not aligned
himself with other candidates.
A four-man slate running in
opposition to Mayor Wood and
five councilmen has favored
greater councilmen has ia
vored greater cooperation with
the county and has suggested
the possibility Of a referendum
to determine If citizens want
1t to remain q city.
ZOning Battle
The five incumbent council
men, Roland M. Clarke, Fred
M. EVERY, George A. Hamill.
Stacy C.. Sherwood and Daniel
]. Harrison, contend they have
permitted apartments only
where they have no adverse eff
feet on residential property.
But the four-man slate, COM
posed Of joseph H. Harrison,
IT., Harry c. Clay, Guerin Todd
and James Keith, have charged
irresponsible planning and
coming"
Members Of the ticket have
argued that the city has too
many apartments and no mas
ter plan. In addition, they con-
tended, the present council has
permitted the city's main street
to become "festooned with eye
sores"
They have also attacked the
councils decision to create a
separate school system as too
expensive and inefficient.
Two other candidates, Harley
M. Williams and Jay Shanklin,
are also running in opposition
to the council. Mr.. Shanklin
has attacked the city's plan
ming for apartments as unwise,
and Mr.. Williams has been a
consistent critic of the coun-
ellis handling of its finances.
In Vienna, six candidates are

10000 homes without service.
Both utility firms said weary
repair crews worked through
for the second straight night
and should have power restored
to everyone by tonight.
The trouble was of two kinds
The wet and heavy blanket of
snow snapped countless trees
and branches which, in falling
tore down both main power lines
and lines connected to individ-
ual homes, and the snow also
played havoc on some lines
directly as they swayed in the
strong winds while bearing the
weight of the snow.
R. w. Wilson, Pepco vice
president, said 125 repairmen
stayed on a job last night and
another crew of 800 returned to
their laborS this morning after
a l6-hour day yesterday.
More Lines Go Out
Pepco reported new power
failures in the Lanham and
BeltSville areas last night.
The Chesapeake & Potomac
Telephone Co. reported 1,40O
phones were still out of service,
mainly due to cable trouble,
but expected to restore all to
operationing condition by to-
night. The company said 900
phones were knocked out in the
Maryland suburbs, 800 in Vir-
GINA and 200 in Washington,

mostly in the Southeast section.
The Nations Capital es-
capped with relatively little
trouble from the two separate
onslaughtS of heavy, wet snow
that struck the entire Middle
Atlantic zone at about the
same time Monday and yester-
day.
The Weather Bureau de-
scribed the disturbance as one
huge and intense snowstorm
but to people in the Washing
ton area it came as one storm
following another.
IS Inches at Front Royal
The official measurement Of
as inches of snow at National
Airport was a vast understate-
ment Of what happened here
and in nearby areas. When
the snow stopped falling about
3 am. today, the Weather
Bureau reported IS inches at

Solar Observatory Satellite
In Orbit, Probes Radiation

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla,
Mar. z (AP).-A solar observa-
tory satellite was fired into
orbit today to learn how solar
radiation influences the weather
and other conditions on earth
and how great a threat it is
to manned space flight.
The satellite, nicknamed
OSO for orbiting solar observ-
atory, was picked with instru-
ments to give scientists their
first clear look at basic mys-
teries of the sun.
The 458-pound OSO payload
roared away from this space
port at 11:06 am. aboard a
Thor-Delta rocket. All three
stages ignited as planned and
propelled the craft into orbit
about $50 miles above the earth
at $1,000 miles an hour.
Less than an hour later the
National Aeronautics and Space
Administration reported radio
signals received by ground sta
tions indicated the satellite was
in orbit.
One of the most complex SCI
entific payloads ever sent aloft,
OSO is designed to make the
first comprehensive study of
the sun from a vantage point
above the distorting influence
Of the earth's atmosphere.
The new space traveller is the
first of several such observa-
tories planned to unravel puz-
zles of sun-earth relations.

launch at least one a year to

$500, 000Bribe Charged
To Late Senator Bender

NEW YORK, Mar. 7 (AP).-
A Federal prosecutor has
charged that the late George
H. Bender, prominent Ohio Re-
publican, accepted a 100000
bride to quash a stock fraud
investigation.
A former United States Sen
ator, Mr.. Bender at the time
was special assistant to the
Secretary of the Interior in the
Eisenhower administration.
The accusation was made
yesterday by Assistant United
States Attorney Gerald Walpin
as he was finishing his opening
statement in the trial of IL
men and four corporate de-
PENDANTS in the stock fraud
case.
The defendants were indicted
last July IA for allegedly SELL
ing $4,000 shares of unregis-
tered stock of the United Dye
and Chemical Corp, now
known as Chemoil Industries
Inc, in 1855 and 1856, costing
the public IS million.
Mr.. Walpin said one Of the
defendants Oil Promoter
Samuel S. Garfield OF Clare,
Mich.-paid the money to Mr..
Bender.
1.-THE Government will show"
Mr.. Walpin said, that when
the investigation commenced
the defendant Garfield paid
100000 to former Senator
George Bender, then special as
sistant to the Secretary of the
Interior of the United States
Government, in order to get
this investigation quashed ="

an issue in the case, the lawyers

After dismissing the jury for
