Public Or Priva+e Cain?

County residents would do we'll to examine closely
pending proposal to authorize 100000 public bond
issue for the prvaeoperated Montgomery County Air
park Gathersburg. Such move-which could lead
outright gift of 100000 in public monies to the pr
vate operators of the airport has been formally
introduced before the County Council and public hearing
will be held on the proposal May u in Rockville.
justification offered for the is that improve
ment of the counyowned but privaelyoperated airport
will make the county attractive to industries which
depend heavier airpanes and they might locate here
Also county financial participation in the ventre-Which
is not the case-wi make the airport eligible for
federal grant,
The fact remains however, that at the present time
the county bound by 99year lease signed three
ago with the airpos operators granting them exclusive
operating rights And understand that in recent nego
atons with the County Revenue Authority they have re-
fused to consider giving up these rights.
Just how far the county should go in contributing
large of money under such circumstances calls for
serious study and public debate Yet the first word the
public had on the proposal was late last week.
Also granting of such large sum by the county and
the winning of additional federal grant will contribute
materially toward the reaping of substantial profits by the
operators from development of 139 OF industrial land
the runway rezoned for them by the county part
of the airport development package.
If the county wants to go into the airport business
that is thing Such could be wise one and
public benefit might be derived But to give 100000 to
privateyoperaed airport without having any say in how
the money will be spent and without any hope of reapng
any profits therefrom is quite another.
Also, it seems little incongruous that the arports
operators should while insisting keeping their exclusive
operating rights hold out their hands for large county and
federal grants Quite obviously, if such large county
grant is approved the lease calling for exclusive and pr
vate) operating rights must be renegoated with the
county having full at least major say in the arpors
operation
Such move at this time, however, will seem more
than little inconguous to many county residents who
still smartng from recent County Council refusal to APP
prove what many felt were muchneeded appropriations
for public education

From This Angle
Creating A Public Image

1t was after pm. and the car carrying
two Observation-Disclosures and a grandmother
was entering the upper end of Montgomery
County on Route 240 The great-grandmother
driving was tired for she had driven nearly
500 miles that day. Soon after she entered
the county she slowed to read the sign by an
egress road. Not quite sure of what she saw,
she pulled over and backed up alongside the
road. In doing so she backed out on the high
way again.
After re-reading the sign she had driven
short distance down the highway when a
flashing red light of a police car came up
behind her and the driver signaled her to the
side of the road The state policeman asked
for her drivers license.
What have I done? was going within
the limit" she said.
you backed UP on the highway" the
trooper replied. "Thats against the law"
II just wanted to read the sign again." she
said. Il looked carefully up the road and there
was no traffic at all. Nobody was around"
"Only me-" the trooper replied
where were your" the other great-grand-
mother asked
The trooper wagged finger and shook
his head. He gave the driver a warning and
turned to her map to help her find the proper
road.
The drivers map was worn from folding
and thumbing. The trooper walked back to his
car, got new map of the state of Maryland,
and showed the driver where to leave the

can be painful process, but in the long run
1t is essential in order to keep government
honest and free from arrogance. If the Re-
publicans on the Council had recognized this
and had taste for facing the issues, they
could have avoided some unnecessary tensions
and mistakes
In the Briggs case much more construc-
tive effort could have been made if they had
invited public comment on this recruitment,
the establishment of the position, and his
recommendations. This could have assisted
them in making sound judgments on whether
or not he was the man, what the job was to
be done, and whether or not the proposals
would work.
A similar comment can be made with
respect to the appointment of Mr. Lackey to
the Personnel Board If they had followed
their campaign pledge and held a public
hearing on his appointment, they could have
discovered the inconsistencies in his appoint.
ment, and had an opportunity to set the
record straight
In the public interest we may hope that
they have discovered that sticking to their
campaign principles will be the best course
Tor them to follow.
final point of observation is that they
cannot be effective if they are unwilling to
measure up to their responsibilities as Coun-
cilmen. They have personal responsibility
to examine the financial and management af-
fairs of the County
What was quite apparent during the
recent budget period was that they had as.
signed the responsibility for review to their
paid consultant. His recommendations were
adopted with little or no examination. no
advice was sought from the people obligated
to carry out the decisions, and no interest
was shown in independent citizen or taxpayer
comment
Inc result OF all Of this unwillingness to
seek ADVICE, abandonment of their own judy
ment, and confusion of functions will be
wasteful and unavoidable programs in the
coming year.

highway The ladies thanked him and went
on their way.
About Is minutes later the ladies arrived
at their destination full Of praise for the Mary
land State Trooper. Courteous, kind, likes to
help people, sense Of humor, and a honey"
were some of the terms used to describe this
state policeman.
No doubt all policemen are instructed to
be courteous and helpful to travellers, but this
young man did not learn his courtesy and
philosophy of life only in his police training.
Obviously he was brought up to help people
and treat them with kindness and courtesy.
His was not the sterile, perfunctory courtesy
and kindness of an automaton, but that of
human being who likes people.
Those travellers came from two northern
states where the state troopers have not al.
ways earned a reputation for kindness and
courtesy. Unfortunately, these ladies did not
think to get the number of the troopers badge
or his name. l can vouch for the accuracy Of
their observations for one was my mother and
another cousin.
The fine public image that public service
groups like to have cannot be produced by
trying to outfit men with good manners along
with their uniforms. Men have to be selected
for these qualities. Whenever the subject Of
policemen comes up in the presence of any
of these three ladies from the north the pub
lie image of the Maryland State Police will
glow and grow.

Gilman John Henry Hiser, who writes in letter printed
elsewhere this page that all of the 52980 voters who
elected him of his segregaonist views and by
implication that is why they voted him in
Such a statement is absurd of course, and doubt
Mr. Hser himself does not believe such sweeping ride
uous generalization.
The County Council in its consideration of this ex-
temey serious matter must not be swayed by Mr. Hsers
highly emotional approach to this problem. It surely is
aware that since enactment of the ordinance 16 months
ago there have been racial tensions disorders And
that should speak for itself BY repeating the ordinance
the Council would invite the tragedy of racial demonsra
ton and strife and Montgomery County desperately does
not want-or deserve-such fate The ordinance must
be retained.

Hiser WIRES


When 1 introduced a resolu-
ton in the County Council to
repeal the accommodations bill
for Montgomery County, the
same liberal minority groups
who voted against me are now
making every effort to dis
credit me. At the public hear
ings which the County Council
held on my resolution they be-
haved in the boorish manner
that is so typical of left-wing
agitators. They repeatedly de-
fled the rulings of County
Council President John A.
Floyd, and showed every evil
dence that they are no respec-
tors of fair play or the demo-
cratic processes.
In introducing the resolution
to repeal the accommodations
ordinance, l was merely full
filling a campaign pledge
which clearly indicated my
stand on this problem. My
campaign literature carried
this promise, if elected: IRE.
store to ourselves freedom Of
choice of customers in private
business" My campaign litera-
ture also carried the following
statement which l made to the
County Council at the time the
accommodations ordinance was
originally under consideration
in 1861:
president Ca h DON, Mrs.
Werner and Gentlemen of the
Council: I am John Henry
Hiser, S026 Glendale Road,
Chevy Chase, Maryland. I have
been a property owner, taxpay-
err, and voter of Montgomery
County for thirty years. Until
last year, / was in business in
Bethesda for thirty-two years.
I am a past President of the
Bethesda Chamber of Com
merce, a past President of the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Rotary
Club, and a past Post Com
mander of the American L.
gion. AS Mrs. Werner knows,
we having come to Bethesda
about the same time, l have
headed various civic endeavors
such as the War Bond Drives,
March of Dimes, Cerebral
Palsy Drive, Safety Campaign,
Christmas Lane Parades and
Christmas Seal Drives and I
was one of the first Directors
of the Bethesda Public Library.
l worked very hard with the
councilwoman, Mrs. Werner
for the County Charter form
of government for our county
and this brings me to the point
that the council is to abide by
the majority. Therefore, the
people of Montgomery County
should have the right to
vote on this issue by putting
it on the ballot for referendum
in next years election. At last
Thursdays hearing, speakers
pledged their church without
making a poll of the congrega-
ton. The P-TA council voted
for the entire P-TA, yet as a
member of the P-TA, / was

II am opposed to the pass.
age of a public Accommoda-
ton Bill for Montgomery
County"
II am convinced that the
people including the voters Of
Montgomery County are op.
posed to this proposed law"
IF l am wrong, and the
voters of Montgomery County
do desire this law then l will
accept their will. If l am
right and the voters do not de-
sire this law, then / would ex.
pect the proponents OF the
ordinance to accept the will Of
the people"
ITO this end, l respectfully
request the members of the
Council to give the people of
Montgomery County an op.
portunity to vote on this most
important matter which goes
to the heart of the principle
of the relationship of a free
citizen to his government"
