J. Millard Tawes has straddled the fence again—this time on the touchy subject of racial dis crimination. A few days ago, he was asked for his position on proposals to ban racial discrimination In restau rants, hotels and other places of public accommoda tion. Here was an opportunity for the chief executive of the Free State of Maryland to make a clear, unequi vocal statement on an issue that the State Department of the United States claims is of vital importance to our nation in its relation with foreign countries. The subject is admittedly controversial. There are strong feelings on both sides. But it is an issue which must be resolved, one way or the other; and it is the Governor’s duty, as the head of the State, to tell the citizens how he plans to resolve it. This is the kind of leadership which the people expect and deserve. Unfortunately for Maryland, Governor Tawes just doesn’t have it. His only reply was that he intends to wait and see what happens to legislation under con sideration before the Legislative Council. We might just as well not have a governor. It is obvious that Mr. Tawes is determined not only to equivocate, but to ignore what a governor is obligated to do—to provide leadership. Small wonder that Mr. Tawes has been compared by his opponents to a gray mouse of a man. Small wonder that the voters are fed up with his indecision and lack of vigor: his hesitancy and coyness; his failure to bring distinction to a state which is proud of its heritage. Re-Enlisting Army Veterans Mav Hold Grade m Outstanding opportunities for re-enlistment of service vet-1 erans and entry into active duty for National Guard and Army Reserve personnel have just been announced by Department of the Army. M/Sgt. Ed Brown, Army re- i crulter for the upper Montgom- j ery County area and the Be- j thesda-Chevy Chase zone, says the re-entry advantages apply to two categories of former Regular Army personnel: those separated over 90 days but less than 24 months and those out of service between 24 and 36 months. In the first category, person nel released In pay grade E-3 ( Private First Class to Master Sergeant l who possess a mili tary occupational specialty listed as a shortage skill may re-enlist in the grade held at time of discharge. Those in the latter group who possess a shortage occupa tion and held pay grades E-6 or E-7 may re-enter the Army in the next lower grade; E-s's (ser geants) and below whose occu pational specialty is not in over supply may also return in the next lower grade. National Guardsmen or Re servists released from active duty or six months active duty within the past three years as E-3's, E-6's, or E-7's who do not possess a critical MQS may be ordered to active duty for two years as E-4’s or may entlist In the Regular Army if qualified.

Northrop’s elevation to the Federal Court. Mr. Lee has served with distinction as chairman of Montgomery’s delegation to the General Assembly since 1954. He has displayed the leadership, aggres siveness and independence of mind that are so sorely needed in the State Legislature. And finally, his per formance in the State Senate will give the voters a clear indication of his qualification for the United States Senate seat which he is seeking. Since he has made it clear that he intends to con tinue his campaign for the United States Senate, his appointment to the State Senate would not give him an unfair advantage over those who have announced their candidacies for Mr. Northrop’s seat. The designa tion by the Democratic State Central Committee of anyone of these candidates for the State Senate would place party leaders in the position of indorsing one over the others in next year’s Democratic primary. This would violate the long tradition of open Demo cratic primaries here and would cause inestimable damage to party unity. , Clear Answers Needed Despite its announcements to the contrary, the County Council apparently is determined to follow a policy of procrastination in appointing an economic de velopment director to attract desirable industry here. For at least two years, funds have been ear marked in the budget for this purpose with absolute-, ly no resulf. Several months ago, after repeated prodding by this newspaper and others, county officials said they were making determined efforts to find a qualified man. But so far the result has been the same— nothing. In the meantime, other counties in the Washing ton Metropolitan area, notably Prince Georges and Fairfax, had found no difficulty in manning their economic development bureaus and are succeeding in having research and scientific establishments locate in their areas. Why is Montgomery County lagging? What makes it so much more difficult to employ a qualified man here than in Prince Georges and Fairfax Coun ties? Is our county really honest about its announced , intentions to attract industry to help spread the tax load? The people deserve clear answers to these ques tions. And while we’re about it—does the Council in tend to fill the post of public information officer left vacant for three months as a result of the resignation of Bill Gilbert? Hjjfl ■riim iff* .

Plimmer of London, England, said. “From Moses’ time on wards, spiritually minded men in the Bible proved the power of God to heal both sin and sick ness by spiritual means alone.’’ Christ's unsurpassed works of healing were “due to his fuller understanding of the spiritual laws that always heal when faithfully applied,” he said. Mr. Plimmer spoke oh "Chris tion Science: The Discovery of the Healing Christ.” He was in troduced by James L. Phillips, first reader.
