Campaign Tempo Quickens

Marit Thorsen, Democratic
candidate for the House of Dele
gates; has accused county Re-
publicans of campaigning on
platform of character aSsaSsina-
ton by innuendoes and half
truths"
The complete text of her ac-
cusation, made during a recep-
ton for fellow candidates at her
Bethesda home, is as follows:
Montgomery County Repub-
licans are refusing to discuss
the issues and instead are cam
paigning on a platform of char.
acter assassination by innuendo
and half-truths. Aside from
issuing a meaningless platform
three weeks ago, the Republi-
cans have not made a single
public statement in the past
month which would shed any
light on how they stand on ma
jor issues. They have failed to
take a positive position on any
issue. Instead they attempt to
slur our candidates and blur the
facts with fantasy and false
hood.
"They make irresponsible
statements about our tax rate
knowing full well that all i'm.
creases in recent years have
gone to support the finest
school system in the metropoIi.
tan area. When they attack
taxes, the Republicans are at
lacking the Democratic Admin.
istratiOn's decision to give Mont.
gOmery County the best pos
sible school system. We are
proud of our schools. We will
not let the Republicans take
them away. We will not let
them cut back on teachers sala-
ries. We will not let them re.
store the split shift mess we
found here eight years ago.
"It's time for the Republicans
to speak out on the issues and
let the voters know what pro-
grams they propose for the
county. We urge every respon-
sible force in the community to
pressure them into doing So"

Steers Joins Hassle
Newton I. Steers, jr., Repub.

with the charge that county au-

cord area despite a Federal
warning dating back to 1857.
At that time, Steers charged,
the Department of Agriculture
cited certain portions of the
Concord sector of Potomac as
land (which should not be used
for sewage disposal" The re-
suits of the survey, he added,
were reissued "most recently in
October, 1861"
The COP candidate charged
that Montgomery County Off
Gals were aware of the finding,
"since the Chief of the County's
Sanitary Division assisted in
the Federal survey" and as.
serted that the Department of
Agriculture report was ignored

Small cited a Health Depart.

Skaters Illusions

Mr.. Sherman is not a con-
ventional executive. At times
he sounds like a Frank Lloyd
Wright who has paused to
shatter a few illusions in the
auto industry. Some typical
Shermanisms:
On business administration
81 studied it at the Univer-
sity of Chicago. I found the
subject enormously depressing. "
On bagpipes = I've played
them since I was IL. Reading
Kipling was how I first got
interested. I still have q good
blaw now and then"
On psychologists : II don't
believe a consulting psycholo-
gist should be on the payroll
full-time. If he is, he becomes
part Of the system and loses
his objectivity. That's not
what I'm paying him for"
On auto parts brand names
-"I regard the market as q
gigantic ovum. Once it's
fertilized by some force, it shuts
out all others"
Today there are some 400
Midas shops marketing the
gold-painted mufflers in the
United States.
Anyone with pluck to swing
a national item could have
done the same" said Mr..
Sherman.

Advocates of greater overseas
trade in the State Department,
NATO officials, the Treasury
and the Commerce Depart
ment do not believe that furth-
er restrictions should be placed
by the Pentagon on buying
foreign steel.
The Buy-American Act,
said one high State official,
grants plenty of authority to
Defense Secretary Mcnamara
for security reasons. Any furth-
er restrictions would invite Sc
rious trade retaliations from
Germany and Japan.
NATO officials and Treasury
Secretary Dillon have pointed
out that Germany is consid-
ering buying SIS billion, of
American weapons and this
would do much to solve our
foreign gold balance.
These we apon purchases
would be made through the
Pentagon. They range from
the F104 fighter aircraft, the
Bullpup and Sidewinder mis-
siles to tanks and personnel
carriers. There would be forty
times as much steel in these
weapons as the amount of
German steel the Navy bought
last year.
President Asks Facts
President Kennedy has asked
the Budget Bureau to assemble
all facts on the operation of
the Buy-American Act. Any
changes to be made in the s
and IL per cent differentials
allowed United States bidders
win be decided before the end
of September,
Pending possible changes,
Mr.. Mcnamara has held up all
foreign orders that are over
one-half of the low American
bid. This does not interfere
with the purchase of drug S
and medical supplies in Europe
that range well below one-half
of American wholesale prices.
Senator Randolph, Democrat,
of West Virginia, and former
professor of public speaking, is
directing his oratory at the
White House to help his dis
treSsed coal mining state.
He is fearful that any tam
pering with the Buy-American
Act would hurt his efforts to
increase coal sales to Germany
and Japan. Navy orders for
foreign steel range in the hun
dreds of tons. Germany buys
5 million tons of United States
coking coal annually. Japan
buys Sc million tons.
