record is public. The facts speak
for themself.
Perhaps the voters are for
tunate to find out so early in
the campaign-before the Re.
publicans have offered a single
constructive proposal or pro.
gram for Montgomery County
that the COP plans to use
these irresponsible methods to
discredit the finest administra-
ton in the history of Montgo-
merry County"
In anoth Ter development,
Bressler claimed the pollution
content of water in schools in
the Potomac-C cord area
hasn't been tested since they
were built"
He said that with one-haIf Of
one percent contamination con-
sidered unsafe, areas in Poto-
mac have as high as 20 percent.
This is a major health prob
lem which the County Council,
which is automatically our
Board of Health, has never met,
to my knowledge, to consider"
Bressler said, adding that the
head Of the Councils own Ad-
visory Health Commission re-
ports the group "has never had
a problem of sewage presented
to 1t in three years"
The County Councils cores
pondence files are full of letters
from Potomac area residents
complaining OF sewage pro-
blems, Bressler said.
Somebody's been demon
strating a complete lack of
concern for those people out
there" he continued. "This
county Is spending thousands
of dollars for studies In other
areas-why not spend some
on how to solve its sewage
problem?
Were equipped with seven
pounds Of state and county laws
in this field. The question APP
pears TO be whether they're be-
ing enforced"
Cahoon, in turn, denied the
County Council has sat on its
hands over the sewer problem
for four years.

He suggested the transporta-
ton agency let the Council know
within the next. few months"
the status of its plans for the
site.
ut may be a five-year wait,
then again it may be just sever

reconsider this case in the pub
lie interest and in light of this
new information not available to
us at the time of our decision"
This drew from Council presi.
dent David L. Cahoon the critic
ism that the META so far has
mo plan, no approved pro-
gram"
"On a number of occasions,
we've expressed willingness to
cooperate with them and CO.
ordinate our plans" he said. so
far as l know, this is the first
indication from them of any
specific site involved in any
plan they have.
IF they want us to cooperate
and coordinated they've got to
come to us before the tail end
of decision"
Countered Fresh: "In other
words, we should go ahead in
complete defiance and complete
disregard of their plans because
one developer wants this zon-
ing?"
I'm not prepared to move
on Meta conjecture at the staff
level at this moment" declared
Cahoon. when their plans are
firm, let them come to us for
support"
The move to reconsider the
Garvin coming, backed by Frosh
and Councilwoman Stella B.
Werner, was defeated, 80, with
a suggestion that the NCTA's
proposal be forward to the
property owner "for his infor.

Are Juries Qualified

Without regard to whether the present
rule was justified when ii was first adopted
in 1851, great and significant changes have
taken place during the past century which
by themselves could convince that rule
which was acceptable then is not acceptable
now. Finally, conflicting rule in almost all
other American Jurisdictions establishes ex-
pectations which are untitled in Maryland.
These forces may be viewed as adequate to
cause change fairly SOON

ty septic tank systems approx
ed by the county.
Earlier, Bressler had demand
ed the immediate removal of
County Council president David
L. Cahoon for what he termed
his Involvement in the stencil
of Potomac's septic tank scan
dal."
He charged that Cahoon's
wife, the former Mary Case, was
a part owner of the Williams
burg property when it was test
ed for sewage percolation by a
potential purchaser in the au-
tumn of 1857.
The Independent tests showed
that "the majority of the tract
could not and would not provide
adequate percolation" for sew
age disposal. Bressler said, but
the land was later sold for de-
velopment into half-acre lots in
the Concord subdivision.
AS head of the County Coun-
Gil, Bressler explained, Cahoon
is also a member of the county
Board of Health, which directs
the Health Department.
Percolation tests run by the
Health Department less than a
year later resulted in approval
of the subdivisions develop
ment.
Cahoon denied that he had
any interest in the Concord land
by the time he was elected to
the County Council in 1858, but
conceded a parcel adjoining the
Williamsburg tract was sold just
a year ago.
The sewer system on this
land, he added, has checked out
for more than 35 years"
County Health Department Of
ficials, including Health Officer
William ]. Peoples and his di-
rector of environmental health
r. w. Koch fatty deny any
pressure has been brought to
bear on them in their approval
of septic tank systems by Ca
hoon or "any other member of
this or any previous County
Council"
Also rising to Cahoon's sup.
port was Ann Brown, chairman
of the Montgomery County
Democratic State Central Com.
mittee which was asked to re-
move Cahoon both as Council
president and as a candidate for
the House of Delegates.
Terming the Republic an ale
cations totally irresponsible"
Mrs. Brown said:
"Mr. Cahoon has served the
county brilliantly during the
past four years as a member of
the County Council. His inte-
gritty is above reproach. He has
devoted thousands of hours Of
his time at considerable per
sonal expense to serving the
people Of Montgomery County.
"The Republican charge that
he has profited from his official
position is unsupportable. The

result of County Council
adoption of power grab pro-
visions" of the recently-re-
leased report on county op-
erations, Gilbert GUIDE, Re-
publican candidate for State
Senator, charged this week.
The report, prepared by Pub
lie Administration Service, in
ternationally-recognized munich
pal consulting, firm, recon-
mends dissolution of the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission and put
ting planning control directly
up to the County Council.
If this recommendation is
adopted by the Council, GUIDE
warned, planning would be
thrust squarely into politics"
He said the PAS reports

jeopardize the checks and bal
ances now in effect between the
Council and the Planning Com.
mission, and cited the "calcu-
lated harassment" to which the
commission has been subjected
by the Democratic county heads
already.
Despite the Commissions
good record" he said, "the policy
of the Democratic controlled
County Council toward its own
planners, particularly in the last
year or two has been one of cal
culated harassment.
Examples of this are the
rejection by the Council Of
Rock Greek, Northwest
Branch and Gaithersburg mas.
ter plans, and the One.year
hOldup of subdivision regula.
tons.
Il believe this policy reflects
the thinking of the minority
radical faction which now con.
trolls the Democratic party.
Since this group has been I'M
able to impose its opinions and
ideas on the Planning Commits
sion, it Is attempting to destroy
the Commissions expertise and
objectivity by bringing it under
the complete political DONNA
ton of the Council"
This could mean return to.
the days of political bossism"
before adoption of the County
Charter in 1913, he said.

An eleventh-hour attempt
by the National Capital
Transportation Agency to
reserve a small, embattled
piece of land in Silver Spring
for a high-speed transit sta

tiers of the future prompted
indignant outburst from
County Council members

Land in question is the Gar

month by the County Council,
after court action by its owner
and over criticism from land
owners who argue it lies direct

major highway corridor.

fore the Councils deadline for
reconsideration of the coming,
they received a letter from Ro-

them to "hold everything"

Although he said the agency
