Montgomery
Seen Losing
Discounts

MONTGOMERY County is losing
cash discounts on its purchases
because its accounting system
is too cumbersome" Kathryn
Diggs, Republican candidate for
the county council, said last
night.
Miss Diggs quoted from a re-
cent consultant's report on the
efficiency of county govern
ment. The report, ordered by
the present Democratic council,
showed an accounting firm sug-
gested changes in the county's
purchasing system three years
ago because of loss Of dis
counts. The changes were not
made.
Miss Diggs made the state
ment at a candidates forum at
Rockville Civic Center in an
swer to Democratic charges
that G. o. P. candidates criti-
CHE taxes without suggesting
where cost can be. cut.
The Republican aid her
party would work for complete
revision of the present budget
system in the county.
Under present complicated
procedures" she said, nobody
can tell exactly where the
money is going"
Earlier, State Senator Mar
garet c. Schweinhaut said thai
her Republican opponent wa'
pushing a plan to reapportior
the State Senate that was "un
Constitutional" Gilbert GUIDE
the Republican Senate can
didate, has suggested that fivI
new regional Senate seats b.
established to serve the heavily
populated suburbs. Two of thest
seats would be filled by the vot'
ers of Montgomery County, vot'
ing as a region. The remaining
three would serve the Balti-
more suburbs.
Mr.. GUIDE said the regional
approach would allow the addi-
tional Senators to throw of
the provincial attitudes" OF
representing one county in re-
gional matters.
Mrs. Schweinhaut, a firm
supporter of re-apportionment
in the General Assembly, in
dicated the plan would have
no possibility of passage.

Frank Small, jr., today &C
cused Maryland's Democratic
Gov. Tawes of confering pri-
vately with slot machine OPP
Gators, and asked that details
of an alleged meeting be made
public.
In a speech prepared for q
Baltimore Kiwanis Club lunch
con, the Republican guberna-
torial candidate said, 1--WE have
been advised the meeting was
held in a private home in An
napolis two weeks ago."
Persons campaigning for
Tawes in the counties where
slot machines are legal "have
assured the operators Mr.
Tawes will do nothing on this
issue after election day." Mr.
Small charged.
Mr.. Small did not name the
persons whom he says made
the assurances.

The voters have the righI
to know what transpired at this
meeting with the slot machine
operators. Did the Governor
make one of his famous deals
with them?"
Mr.. Small, who has main
tanned that slot machines are
a local issue to be resolved by
the counties where the gam
bling devices are legal, re-
iterated that he does not "care
one iota about slot machines.
The Governor held that elm

support Statewide legislation
abolishing them.
David Hume, whom Gov
Tawes defeated in the primary
and who has Endorsed AND
campaigned for him, is conSid-
cred to have been the main
force behind Gov. Tawes
change of position.
The defeated candidate, who
polled about 10000 votes
maintained that abolition is q
Statewide issue.
Meanwhile, Gov. Tawes anc
his running mates try to mus
ter general election support to-
day in Montgomery County
where he faces an uphill fight
against Republican opposition
The Governor, who spent
Wednesday in Prince Georges
County, polled only 5000 pri-
mary election votes in Mont
gomery last May. Mr.. Hume
carried the county with some
20 900 votes.
Hume Quits Campaign
Mr.. Hume won't be available
to help the Democratic ticket
in Montgomery today. On thu
advice of his physician, Mr.
Hume has withdrawn fron
further political activity in thu
current campaign.
He returned to his home
Wednesday after undergoing
treatment for a bronchial in

Meanwhile, Edward T. Mil.

Cites Special Session


Republicans had consistent
ly opposed reapportionment and
we were forced to call a spe-
cial ssion that cost more
than $25,000," the Governor
added.
Louis L. Goldstein, running
for reelection as controller,
declared that Republican Gov.
McKeldin won election on
promises to cut taxes. Once in
office he raised the sales and
income tax and added another
penny to the gasoline tax, Mr..
Goldstein said.
Republicans now say they
are going to cut taxes, and I
say they owe it to the voters
to tell how they're going to do
it" Mr.. Goldstein added.
Are they going to cut funds
from the University of Mary
land, chronic disease hospitals,
welfare and roads programS?"
he asked.
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan asSailed Mr.. Small for
voting against Statehood for
Hawaii and increases in social
security while a congressman.
Mr.. Small is a man who
must be dragged by his heels
into the goth Century" Mr.
Finan said.
! Representative Brewster, can
didate for Senate, drew imme.
diate applause when he pledged
to stand behind the Presi-
dent" on his Cuban actions
Mr.. Goldstein got the same re-
spouse when he quoted a part
of the Presidents inaugural
speech which he said Summar-
lied the Nations attitude to-
ward the Cuban problem.

Chlorine Tank
Is Lifted From
Sunken Vessel

NATCHEZ, Miss, Oct. rs
(AP). In 20 tense minutes,
workmen brought up the first
of four tanks of deadly chlorine
from the bottom of the MiSsis-
sippi River yesterday.
Slowly and gently, a giant
derrick hoisted the tank to the
surface, lifted it into the air,
and lowered it on a waiting
barge.
Engineers reported no signs
of a leak that could allow the
green fumes of chlorine to drift
over the Natchez area, endan-
gering the lives of 10000 per-
sons.
National Guard troops pa
trolled Natchez, ready to evacu-
ate the people and guard the
city against hooters If neces-
sary.
Problem UnsOlved
Despite yesterdays success,
the problem of the chlorine
that went down aboard a barge
10 months ago is far from
solved.
Three other tanks remain
aboard the sunken barge 45
to so feet beneath the surface.
Authorities hope to lift another
one this week, and get the other
two up next week.
Each of the tanks contains
275 tons of chlorine-liquefied
under pressure and capable OF
leaking out in a gaseous state.
Each of the tanks, after care
full checking, will go by barge
to Wyandotte Chemical Corp.
docks down river at Geismar,
La.
AS an example of the extreme
precautions taken in the lift,
engineers brought in huge fans
borrowed from Hollywood movie
sets to blow the gas away in
event workmen had to swarm
onto the tank to repair any
leaks.
Sand Dredged Out
More than 40 men worked
aboard the barge bringing up
the tank at a rate Of one foot
per 80 seconds.
The lift came a day late.
Originally scheduled for Tues
day, it was postponed because
sand had filtered through two
cracks in the hull of the barge.
Divers went back down,
dreged out the sand, and plug
ged the leaks.
Then, early yesterday, the
lift crew got the go-ahead sig
nal-no sand had blocked the
operation this time.
Divers attached straps for
the lift and river authorities
stopped all traffic on the water
80 miles either side of the site.

FDA Setup Challenged;
Scientific Level Hit

N4GAANA1ANg bAAehV OSAAAS - So
are tough while some are
liberal
There also are philosophical
differences among the staff re-
garding kinds of data to be re-
quired from the applicant and
the information included on the

1.-THE Bureau of Medicine re-
ports that the records of the
new drug applications in proc
ess are sometimes inaccurate
and that MIDAS may be lost or
mislaid. -"
Large Firms Speeded
Further, the investigation
showed that the applications OF
large drug firms get cleared on
an average of sos days after
the application is filed. Smaller
firms applications took an
average of $40 days.
The leadership and philoso'
ply of FDA should be "reori'
ented," according to the report
At present the FDA commits

This committee" said the re-
port, believes that the top pol
icy positions in FDA no Longer
should be held primarily BY
persons whose background
have been as inspectors, bur
should include scientists with
broad experience as we'll"
Other key points in the re-
port:
ORGANIZATION - Ed

more decisions made at an are;
level, while the commissioner o
FDA is freed to plan long -rang'
policy.
EDUCATION - Consumer
and manufacturers should b.
better informed. FDA appear
to have demonstrated a lack o
genuine desire to co-operat,
with industry in program

protection" It's press releases

Better Inspection
IMPORTS-FDA should pro

COLLABORATION - Co
operation between FDA ant
Federal, State and local agen

should have been improved
FDA should help States de
velop better food and drug law

LEGAL CASES-FDA ma,

more emphasis on the harr
cases in which there is rea

SIDE EFFECTS-Wheneve

Towes Ticket Invodes
SmoII's Home County
BY JAMES b. ROWLAND
Star Staff Writer

Maryland Democratic candidates last night resumed
their attack against Republican campaign promises rlng
in the Prince Georges County homegounds of the G. O. P.
gubernatoria aspirant.
Democratic pledges to support President kennedys aton

said they were overwhelmed"
at their reception in the less
densely populated areas Of
Prince Georges.
Turnouts at a series of cof-
fees gave Democrats conf
dence, whereas earlier some had
misgivings about being able to
carry the county which has a
Republican native son running
for governor, Frank Small, jrp
and which failed to deliver for
Gov. TaweS in the primary.
While standing by his earlier
pledge not to attack Mr.. Small
personally on his home grounds,
Gov. Tawes nevertheless tore
into Republican charges that
Democrats had raised taxes
and fumbled reapportionment.
1.-THE one tax increase during
my administration was not for
the State administration, but
went directly to the counties
to help them shoulder greater
fiscal burdens" Gov. Tawes
said.
This gave Prince Georges
$2.4 million, which otherwise
would have required another
25-cents on the local tax rate"
the Governor added.
The Governor said Maryland
was the first State to reappor-
ton its legislature following a
Supreme Court decision on the
matter last March.

Stote CD Chief Reps
Action in Cuban Crisis

RICHMOND, Nov. IA (AP) -
Virginia's Civil Defense chief
has criticized the way the Ma
tional Civil Defense organiza-
ton operated during the Gu
ban crisis.
Douglas L. Moore, jr., said his
office received no information
from the national office on &C
ton to be taken, and there
seemed to be a lack of COM
munication from the Federal to
the State levels.
Mr.. Moore said the State Of
flee was asked to inform the
national office of the action
taken in Virginia. He said his
office also was asked to report
the public'S reaction to the
Presidents stand.
The Cuban crisis Jared Vir-
ginia'S Civil Defense program
into action, Mr.. Moore said. 1t
also offered an opportunity for
evaluation of the organizations
effectiveness.
The staff at Norfolk's Civil
Defense Control Center went on
24-hour watch, and hot tele-
phone lines were installed to
key city officials. Norfolk's Civ
IL Defense effort works closely
with other cities in the area
through the South Hampton
Roads Regional Defense Coun-
Gil.

themselves has progressed con-
siderably more than the public

Almost Miracle
Sewage Plant at
Dulles Cited

The sewage treatment plant
at the new Dulles Airport is
almost a miracle" a former
anti-pollution official said last
night.
Ellis S. Tisdale, former direc-
tor of the Potomac River Com
mission, told the Kalorama Cit
liens Association that Satur-
day, when the air field opens,
the public will miss seeing zone
of the most remarkable things"
mo one will see the sewage
plant" he said. 1--WE in Wash
ington will not have waste from
the area discharged into our
water works"
In addition to hearing Mr..
Tisdale, the group voted to urge
Congress to change the NAL
lory arrest for investigation"
rule. The rule prevents the po-
lice from holding suspects for
more than a short time to elicit
confessions. The rule helps keep
dangerous felons at large"
Cover M. Koockogey. president
of the group, said.
The group also discussed the
Adams Morgan redevelopment
project in their neighborhood,
but took no action.

dent; Frank Davis, second vice

After elections, the group
passed a resolution calling for
an increase in the public
drinking fine from $40 to 500.
The resolution is the result
of numerous complaints from
members living IN the area of
Fifteenth and Swami streets
NV. Mr.. MacClane urged bet

fine Of $500, or a prison term
of six months.
Post Herald officials said the
editorial stemmed from an &C
ton by Mayor Arthur j. Hanes
on November 5 when he ordered
city employees not to give out
any news to reporters and said
he would not talk to newsmen.
The editorial said in part:
Nov Mr.. Hanes he says
he will instruct all city employees
under him to neither give out
news regarding the public busi-
ness with which they are en-
trusted nor to discuss it with
Birmingham and the people
Of Birmingham deserve a better
break. A vote for mayor
council will give it to them"
The mayor-council system
was waited in by a margin of
TIT votes over commission and
council-manager proposals.
Mr.. Mills said in a statement

of the States population of
just less than four million is
still without adequate protec-
ton.
The shelter situation is
shocking, Mr.. Moore said. But
he added it may be misleading
because Of the daytime an d
nighttime differences in popu-
lation. He noted that downtown
sections in metropolitan areas
are crowded during the day,
but relatively few persons are
in those areas at night.
