ROCKVILLE = Opening gun
In the city's councilmanic cleo
ton campaign scheduled for
next April was fired this week
by the Federation of Indepen-
dent Voters.
FIV Chairman Woodrow w.
Stevenson said his group had
compiled 10 important" ques-
tons which it would be asking
at a meeting open to the public
on Dec. 5 at 8:15 pm. in the
Civic Center Mansion.
He identified the 10 ques-
tons as:
Where is the Lincoln Park
recreation area?
. Are our water and sewer
rates too high?
. Should we be increasing
the city police force when we
pay taxes to the county for such
protection?
Is urban renewal tagging?
What are we actually pay
ing for recreation?
. Should the city's general
fund continue to subsidize the
water fund?
. How do the reZoning &C.
tons for apartments compare
with the mayor and councils
platform of 1862?
. Has the drainage district
law, passed on an emergency
basis by the state legislature
three years ago, been used?
What is being done at criti-
cal traffic points such as at Con-
gressional and Twinbrook Shop
ping Centers?
Should appointments to the
city's statutory boards and COM
missions be from the city as a
whole or generally from one or
ganiZation?
Chairman Stevenson said Off
GERS for the next two years
would also be elected at the
meeting.
FIV candidates next April
will oppose those fielded by
Citizens Committee for Good
Government. CGC has domin.
ated the city government for

Wilson was accused by Doris
L. Jirikowic, 1101 Oakview
Drive, Silver Spring, of turn
ing away a Negro youth who
was a member of a group of
youngsters from the Silver
Spring Unitarian Universalist
Church who went to Dalamar
one Sunday afternoon last May
for an outing.
At that time, Mrs. Jirikowic
said in her formal complaint
to the commission, Wilson told
her it was his policy to admit
Negroes only in mixed groups
and by prior arrangement.
Two commission members
failed to conciliate her charge
on visit to Dalamar in June,
when they reported Wilson
argued he had been threatened
with boycott if he admitted
Negroes freely.
Wilson argued further that
since his establishment was
within the Incorporated MUM
cipality of Gaithersburg it was
exempt from prosecution for
violation of the county's pub
lie accommodations ordinance.
In July, however, County At
torney Robert G. Tobin ruled

Wilson's scheduled hearing

against public places here have
been either successfully con.
ciliated or dismissed by the

therefore, contribute to the
attraction of research and de-

The attitude of our County
officials concerning light in.
dustry has been another factor
in creating an atmosphere con-
dusive to this type of business.
And this attitude has been re.
Elected in the rezoning of land
and the creation of Industrial

tractive.
Montgomery County is on the
march this month and every
month of the year. And this
march includes all phases of
economy.
The creation last June of the
Governors Science Resources

of L. Mercer Smith
should be helpful in coordinat-

Shots Were Accurate

A test by Los Angeles police
men, they said. showed three
shots could be fired in ga
seconds.
Leonard Davis. a gun expert
with the National Rifle Asso-
citation in Washington. said It
would be possible to fire three
shots in about 5 seconds with
the Mannlicher- Carcano.
But Mr.. Davis said such
accuracy as was displayed in
the assassination would seem
to require "a true expert, which
Oswald didn't seem to be-" on
the basis Of his record in the
Marine Corps.
As a Marine. Oswald had
b arely qualified in the
sharpShooter class, the middle
of three classifications in
craftsmanship. In other words
he was rated as better thar
average but not top-notch
Later, when he was in Russia
he was reported to have JOINED
a rifle club.
The telescope sight on the
assassination rifle would give 9

of the car in which Mr.. Kenne.
dy was riding. Thus it is pre-

ons were hurting the Ameri-
can arms industry.
Mr.. Kennedy was one of
several members who intro
duced legislation to meet the
situation. He proposed that the
United States prohibit the
importation for resale of all
firearms manufactured for the
armed forces of any country.
In the end, Congress forbade
the importation of American
made arms which had been
sent abroad and then declared
to be surplus to military needs
1t did not apply the ban to
firearms that were completely
foreign-made.
Moves are now going forward
in Congress to crack down or
easy-to-buy arrangements fol
firearms generally, regardless
of origin.
These pieces Of legislation
would forbid mail-order sales
Of all firearms, would tighten
registration requirements fol
firearms, and would require
that a would-be buyer furnish
proof of good citizenship ano
sound mentality.

2. The first and third shots
hit President Kennedy; either
could have killed him. The
second wounded Gov. John

3. Ballistic studies repeatedly
substantiate that all three
shots came from the same
weapon.
Formal Report Awaited
Pending the formal FBl
report. there was no detail or
the fatal bullets. Also, any post
mortem findings were withheld
for the present.
The evidence will show, II
was said, that the three shots
came from behind and slightly
to the right of the car. The
sniper's target thus was ap-
proximately in his line of fire
rather than moving across it.

Questions remain-questions
that might have been answered

rifle, had he not been killed
himself two days later.
Volume Of Information
But already there Is a vol
tlme Of information, contrib
uted to by the findings of
Federal authorities, Dallas law
enforcem emit officials and
private citizens.
To begin with, the gun was
described as an Italian-made
military carbine called q Ma

ton, six-shot, CLIPPED rifle Of
6.5-mm. (.25-caliber) bore. II
was equipped with a four

have found that the rifle could
well have been fired that

was noted that the So seconds
were timed from the firing Of
the first shot-So actually it
