For 4 New Seats
3 Delegate Candidates
To Get Nod by Aug. /

Question of how addi-
tional candidates will be
tapped to run for the House
of Delegates will be firmed
up within the next 10 days
after newly-organized DEM
ocratic and Republican State
Central Committees have
held pow-wows to consider
recent appointment respon-
sibility dumped in their laps
by the General Assembly.
While the committees have
until August 1 to name candi-
dates to run for the four addi-
tional House seats picked up by
the County in the recent reap
portionment hassle, neither
party is dragging its feet IN
dealing with the appointment
plums.
Democratic brass met at
Rockville headquarters Tues
day night. Republicans have
scheduled their get-tOgether
for June IL.
The candidates question for
the Democrats poses problems
and pressures which could ex-
plode the State Central Com
mittee's stated objective of a
united party into a private DON
nybrook.
The County Democrats" fac
ton which took over a 4-3 edge
on the committee when the Of
fetal canvass upset Warren
Browning from his seat and in
stalled Mrs. Stella w. Allison
in his place, is firm in stating
that faction fights during the
three-slate Democratic Primary
will not be reflected in choice
of candidates to be added to the
November ticket.
Public utterances have it that
the committee, with County
Democrats" in control, will have
a careful look at the records
and vote-getting proclivities of
all good Democrats regardless
of which slate the candidates
ran on in the May primary.
Since the committees choices
are not confined to defeated can
didates on other states, admit
teddy party brass will be scrutin-
izing other good Democrats who
can be counted on to throw the
House of Delegates race into
the Democratic column in No
vember.
Foremost In the minds Of a
good many Democratic observ-
ers is the question of what the
committee will do about veteran

With the County Council
apparently showed under by
80 coming requests filed in
May and a follower of about
100 from last November and
earlier, question of a "zon-
ing freeze" in the County
has been raised by some but
was denied this week by
Council President David l..
Cahoon.
Cahoon said hearings have
been held on the followers and
the Council whites away at
the backlog every week. Six
teen requests were handled with
a yea" or may" between May
% and June /.
While a general freeze does
not exist, Cahoon left no doubt
that coming requests concerned
with land in so-called critical
areas have been put on ice, or
will be denied. Critical areas
are those, presumably, to be
affected by controversial Cor
ridor" route or routes to the
District of Columbia and land
encompassed by plans of the
National Capital Transports
ton scheduled to be unveiled
this fall.
No favorable coming thaw can
be expected in critical areas
until the planners stop plan
ming. Applicants whose re-
quests are turned down are re-
quired to wait 18 months before
refiling.
Emphasis ON necessity of
holding up coming requests
for critical areas landed on
the Councils doorstep re-
Gently when County Planning
Board chairman J. Newton
Brewer came to Rockville and
suggested a hOld-off.

Stevenson Confuses the Ronnneys

tening to some of "our angry

only could conclude that
they, would rather be Right
than President" departed
from his text to add:
I'm reminded that I've
heard the short cut to the

and then turn left!"
AppropoS of U. N. diplo-
macy, Mr.. Stevenson seemed
to find a degree of similarity
with his political campaign
ing days when a picture of
his worn shoe. with a hole in
the sole, inspired a campaign
emblem.
After taking over his U. N.
post, he said he got a new
pair of shoes and went call
ing on every one of my di-
plomatic colleagues. And
after having exchanged the
hospitality of the luncheon
and dinner table with them
all I thought I would have
been wise also to get a new
digestive apparatus"
Came to Dinner
He also had an explana-
ton Of why he happened to
be in Washington for last
nights address.
It all started, he related,
when a couple of Women's
National Press Club members
invited him to drop in some
day when you don't have
anything to do" and like
an old-world diplomat I said,
Sure"
Then there was a luncheon
invitation, with no speech in
volved. until someone sug-
gested. he continued, that, if
he were coming, he might
make a "few remarks"
II learned later" he said,
"that since I was going to
talk, the club thought it
should be a dinner"
Finally, he went on, he was
informed by Lee Walsh (din-
ner chairman and Betty
Beale (WNPC member) that
they were consolidating his
speech with the diplomatic
dinner. q
Diplomats Introduced
He said he had heard that
Mrs. Walsh and Miss Beale
were notable at twisting
But I didn't know it was
