land many Of your functions
should be handled on a more
city-like basis"
The recommendation poten-
TALLY most explosive is one
calling for the scrapping of the
park and planning commission
which has handled these func-
tionS for Montgomery and
Prince Georges since 1927.
The Democratic faction now
controlling the party has been
trying to eliminate the COM
mission for many years. Mr..
Ayres said, however. that this
recommendation was not in
fluenced by any pressure from
political leaders.
Full-Scale EvaluatiOn
The report was drafted by
the Public Administration
Service of Chicago for $4,000,
1t is the first fuli-scale evalua-
ton of the effectiveness of the
county's government since
home rule was established 13
years ago.
The 200-page report said
home-rule charter has served
county needs well and has pro-
vided an effective governmental
structure"
Having said this, the report
then proposed the creation OF
many new administrative Of
fees, a change in the councils
election Set-up, and granting
more power to the council over
municipalities, the sanitary
commission and the hoo
board.
ITO a major extent" the
opening page of the report said
"(our) recommendations serve
to increase the authority and
responsibility for local affairs
of the county council and the
county administrative organiza-
ton"
The greatest increase in au-
thority would come if the coun-
Gil took over all planning func-
tons from the planning COM
mission. Under the proposed
program, council m m b ers
would become planners guided
only by an advisory planning
board.
To give the council more
time for this work, a board oil
three full-time judges would
hear rezoning matters, and the
council would act on their de-
cisionS.
Although the report noted
that the council has agreed
with the present planners 80
per cent of the time, the au-
thors said responsibility for
planning was fuzzy" and there
has been pickering between the
/ two agencies.
Positive control over the
sanitary commission would give
the council more substantial
planning power, according to
the reports suggestions. The
consultantS want the council
not the Governor-to appoint
two of the five sanitary COM
mission members. They would
also require council approval
| for any tax or service charges,
any sewer or water line routes
or any other construction.
But the consultants touched
lightly over the lack of council
control over school board spend
ing. They did suggest that the
best remedy would be the
scrapping of the elected school
board, but quickly dismissed
this as being unavoidable.
They recommended that the
council take more positive con-
troll in drafting the school
budget, and noted that this has
been lacking in the past.

Home Freezer
Firm Agrees to
Alter Claims
BY the Associated Press

A company selling HON e
freezer food plans in the Dis
trict, Maryland and several 9TH
er Eastern States yesterday
agreed to a Federal Trade Com
mission order prohibiting use of
false advertising claims.
The order was signed by
TenaX Inc. of New York, which
sells freezerS and food plans
through 10 wholly owned sub
salaries.
The ETC had alleged that
food plan customers were told
they would pay list price for
their freezers. The commission
contended that while list prices
did not exceed $3.50, Tenax was
said to have charged 1899 .95
plus $59.05 for free labor for
one year if repairs or adjust
mentS are necessary"
Other allegations made by
the ETC included claims that
Tenax misrepresented the costs
of foods provided with the
plans and that customers often
were induced to sign blank con-
tracts which, when filled out,
did not correspond to those
agreed upon at the time of the
sale.
Tenax, in signing the order,
did not admit violating the
law.
Its subsidiaries include Fed
Grated Foods of Washington
Inc, Washington, and FEEDER
ated Foods Of Maryland Inc,

Victory in "a

RALEIGH. N. c., Mar. 81
(AP).-Mayor Robert F. Wag-
ner Of New York said tonight
President Kennedy will seek
reelection in 1864, and double
his margin of victory.
Jabbing at the Republican
Party and its potential presi-
dental candidates. the mayor
said of Mr.. Kennedy:
IF he ran again today-and
when he runs again in 1864
he will carry New York by twice
the margin he did in 1860. I
know the same thing will hap
pen in North Carolina, and it
will happen all over the Nation. &"
Mayor Wagner told the JEFF
ferson-Jackson Day dinner at
the State Fair Arena in a pre-
pared address:
THE Republicans are en-
broiled in conflict and con-
fusion, but their representatives
in Congress manage to unite on
a common policy of obstruction,
as far as such matters as hous-
ing and medical care for the
aged are concerned"

Dignity, Cocktails Out

Members could duck out quick

Then Senate on May %, 1884,
passed a resolution which said
the old chamber should be

the public under such rules and
regulations as may be pre-
scrihed by the architect of the
Capitol. with the approval of
the committee on rules of the

probation of this was on the
liberal side. Tourists often
found uniformed officers bar

historic spot.
Senator Mansfield and STEM
mis- are determined that here
after the tourists are going to
get a break.
But before they can get the
room cleared entirely of parties
and meetings, there are a
couple of dates they don't feel
like breaking.
One is a reception for Cherry
Blossom Festival queens. At an
other, early in May, wives of
the Senators will entertain
Mrs. John F. Kennedy at their
annual luncheon.
But that will be all, Senator
Mansfield vows.
