Brannan Bill Seen in Peril
As Miller OKs Liquor Study

posed that bottle clubs" be
eliminated. And Mr.. Miller said
today he is inclined to agree.
Some Of the restaurants have
started a form Of bottle club"
by allowing patrons to bring
their own liquor or send out for
1t, in order to get around the
county's stringent regulations.
School Board
Mr.. Miller also said legisla-
ton providing for nonpartisan
school board primary elections
will be introduced today. In
PRODUCTION Of the bill was APP
proved last week by a split vote
of the delegation. The six Re-
publicans voted for it and the
four Democrats against.
School board members now
are elected on a non-partisan
basis. They run only in the gen.
eral election.
The adoption of this bill will
insure that the school board
will be elected by a majority
vote rather than q mere plural
ity," Mr.. Miller said. This bill
further will provide more time
for the voters to learn the views
Of candidates. This bill will
strengthen and improve the
non-partisan election system :. i
and fulfills a promise made to
the voters by the Republican
platform"
Auto Inspection Bill
A Prince Georges County

proposed a bill calling for auto

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 25.-The
chairman Of Montgom cry
County's legislative delegation
today agreed to a study OF
county liquor laws before any
changes are made.
The Republican chairman,
James r. Miller, jr., thus sup
ported the stand taken by the
county's Republican State SEN

The stand by Mr.. Miller APP

chance Of granting. more IL
censes this year for restaurants
to dispense liquor by the drink
A group Of restaurant own
ers have been pressing county
legislators to change the law
to give them more licenses.
Only three restaurants in Mont
gcmery now are permitted to
serve liquor.
The restaurant owners, rep
resented by Attorney william
j. Brannan, jr., law partner OF
States Attorney Leonard T..
Hardy, have proposed legisla-
ton which would grant licenses
to 20 to rs more restaurants.
Slim Chance
Mr.. Miller said the liquor is
sue will be discussed at a dele
cation meeting tonight. With
the chairman taking a stand
against relaxing the laws, the
Brannan bill would appear to
have a slim chance Of being
approved.
Even If 1t were approved by
the delegation, Senator Guide
could block 1t in the Senate.
Senator Guide has proposed
that the liquor question be
studied by a commission COM

various county organizations.
This would mean that no mod

Auto Tags in Maryland
To Be Sold at Offices

Maryland's 1853 auto license
tags will be sold over the
counter in both Montgomery
and Prince Georges Counties for
those with renewal applica-
tons who prefer to buy their
plates In person rather than
by mail to the States Depart
ment Of Motor Vehicles.
Both counties have an
nounced q schedule for sales of
new tags. AS usual, each county
adds q slight service charge -
Is cents per set = for ham
ding.
License fees remain the same
- SIS for cars weighing less
than 3,700 pounds and $23 for
those over that weight. The I'M
insured motorist. however, is
in for a much heavier tab.
Uninsured Rate Up
For those without proper in
surance and without a UCJ-1
Form from their insurance
company to certify their COW
erage, there will be an extra
charge of $40 - more than
double that of last year when
1t was $32.
The extra money goes to the
States dissatisfied Claim and
Judgment Fund, which pro-
tects insured drivers involved
in collisions with uninsured
drivers.
Both local counties have an
nounced that no tags will be
sold to anyone unless he pre-
sents either the certified UCJ-l
Form from an insurance COM
pany or pays the extra $40 for
the judgment fund.
In Montgomery County, tags

Neither the Banks g. Lee

would meet the revised height

Pearson, jr., said the Banks g.

Of 81 or SO feet. A spokesman
for Mr.. New said his proposed

Pussyfooting With an Adversary

Cuba had been obtained. He
replied:
mo, I don't think that
would have materially af-
fected II, because I don't
think we would have gotten
the kind Of inspection which
really Is necessary, because q
totalitarian system cannot
accept the kind Of inspection
which really Il desirable.
What you ere saying, really,
Ia that Cuba be opened, the
Soviet Union be opened. They
are not going to open 1t. be-
cause Q totalitarian system
must exist only in secrecy"
This implies o kind of &C
quiescence In the Khru-
shchev position. and actually
may have weakened the
United States negotiators on
world disarmament in the
conferences at Geneva in
recent weeks. Was the at
tainment Of on-site inspec-
ton blocked because Of an
acceptance in advance Of the
assumption that the Kremlin
could really not agree TO
the proposal anyway?
The truth Is that all the
concern expressed here about
often ding the Russians
through public statements
demanding that the Soviets
cease their military threats
In Cuba and elsewhere is
needless. These don't con-
stitute any embarrassment"
to the Kremlin, because 1t
always operates In secrecy.
The Russian press is per-
nitted to print little, II any
thing, that President Ken
nedy or the head Of any
other outside government
might say in criticism Of So
Wet policy. For all practical
purposes, there Is no i'm
mediate way Of offending or
embarrassing" Mr.. Khru-
shchev in q negotiation. EN-
barrassment" for the Soviet
ruler will come only when
internal economic conditions
have gotten so bad that the
Soviet people will overthrow
him, as they did the Car.
Meanwhile. the United
States can only follow the
principles that have been
proclaimed again and again
In the past and have been
reiterated by Mr.. Kennedy
namely, that the continued
possession by the Soviet gov
eminent Of Q military base
in Cuba can only prove an

European observers insist

mier, however. began to set
after the Skybolt affair when
he gave the impression 70 his

This was followed by ths

and by the dramatic press

The departure Of Prime

office is expected to occur
sometime this summer. The

appearance.
