New Data Processing Equipment
Saves Time and Money for WSSC
New equipment recently ob
tained by the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission is
speeding up the agency’s data
processing operations at con
siderable savings in time and
money.
Leased from International
Business Machines, the system
includes a 1401 Processing Unit,
1402 Card Read Punch and a
1403 Printer. The new machines
replace older and less sophisti
cated 1.8. M. card punching and
sorting equipment previously
used by the WSSC.
Among the things the “1401 A
Co.” do faster and better are: .
(11 Payroll processing for the j
HuftioiFti (finnii Sentinel
dates who are running for office
in the city election because we
are convinced that more people
need to participate in our city’s
government. The advantage of
having a choice of candidates is
healthy and will rejuvenate in
terest in city politics and poli
cies. All of the candidates en
dorsed by Federation of Inde
pendent Voters are men who are
sincerely dedicated to better rep
resentation for all of the citi
zens of Rockville.
“This gives the campaign com
mittee incentive to work hard
for our goals and to attempt to
reach all of the voters with the
vital information that will en
able them to vote effectively
in the City elections. We strive
to make democracy a living, vi
brant realization through this
-kind of hometown approach.”
Guests will be Mrs. Maxwell
Barron, first vice president of
the State League, and Mrs. Wil
liam Gilmartin, advisor to the
provisional League of Allegany
County.

for Tawes and his running
mates in the county, according
to Tawes Baltimore headquar
ters.
A Tawes headquarters state
ment said:
“There are three slates of
candidates for local office in
Montgomery' County. One is
committed to the Governor, an
other to one of his opponents
and the third is non-committal
to any of the Statewide candi
dates.
“The Tawes group was organ
ized solely for the purpose of
supporting Governor Tawes,
Daniel B. Brewster for Senator,
Thomas B. Finan for Attorney
General, Louis L. Goldstein for
Comptroller and Perry O. Wil
kinson for Congressman-at-
Large.”
The Citizens for Tawes Com
mittee has been asked to plan

Condition of Roads
Blamed on Tawes
Two Candidates Exchange Campaign
Charges As Primary Race Intensifies
George P. Mahoney has added Maryland’s roads and
their condition to his list of criticisms of the J. Millard
Tawes administration during the rapidly heating Demo
cratic primary gubernatorial campaign.
In a statement issued this week, Mahoney blamed the
Tawes administration for allowing a “scandalous situa
tion” to develop with respect to State and secondary roads.
“During the course of this
primary campaign,” Mahoney
said, “I have traveled through
every county in the State of
Maryland. Through my own
personal observations, and as a
result of extended conversations
with people in every corner of
the State, I am convinced that
the condition of the road net
work in Maryland’s counties is
a major scandal.
“From the southernmost tip
of St. Maiy’s County to the
West Virginia border, our citi
zens are compelled to drive over
a terrifying senes of narrow,
winding, crumbling roadways
that constitute a serious men
ace to safety and a blight upon
Maryland’s national reputation.
"Nor is this all. The failure
of the Tawes road authorities
to keep abreast of new develop
ments in Federal highway plan
ning and to fight vigorously on
behalf of the interests of dif
ferent parts of the State has
resulted in the diversion of a
major arterial highway away
from western Maryland.”
He pointed out that Inter
state Highway 70 will bypass
both Garrett and Allegany coun
ties in its course west of Han
cock to the Pennsylvania
border.
“And since it is a fact of in
dustrial expansion that new in
dustry follows good roads, this
means that the economically
depressed area of western
Maryland has been denied an
opportunity for growth and de
velopment that would have
meant new jobs for thousands
of western Marylanders.
“Neglect lack of planning
Little Theater

Each of the three one-act

during the One-Act Play Tour
nament of the District of Col
umbia Recreation Department.

Scarf” by the Kensington Play
ers and “Fumed Oak” by the

HEADS OPERA BENEFITS- -Dr. C. Taylor Whittier, Super
lntendent of Montgomery Schools, will serve as honorary
chairman of two benefit opera performances sponsored by
the Junior Woman’s Club of Silver Spring. Proceeds will go
to the Montgomery County Scholarship Fund for promising
teachers. The benefit productions of Gilbert and Sullivan’s
“Yeomen of the Guard” will be performed by the Montgom
ery Light Opera Society at 8:15 p.m. May 4 and 5 at Wheaton
High SchooL
and foresight, lack of leader
ship, inattention to the needs
of our citizens which vary from
one section of the State to an
other all these have char
acterized the Tawes administra
tion’s handling of the develop
ment of Maryland’s roads.
“And this is one issue Tawes
has not been able to keep from
the public with the exception
of the terrible savings and loan
scandals, it is the most talked
about problem in our State to
day.”
In other campaign sparring,
Mahoney has repeated his criti
cism of the Tawes veto of the
savings and loan regulatory
bill. The delay before final pas
sage of a bill In 1961 cost Mary
land residents about S3O million,
Mahoney said.
Other items on the Mahoney
list were an accusation that
Tawes failed to live up to a
1958 campaign promise to raise
teacher pay and the accusation
that Tawes tried to say a
$250,000 renovation of a tuber
culosis hospital for use of men
tally retarded children consti
tuted fulfillment of a campaign
promise for a new institution.
Tawes headquarters coun
tered with the charge that Ma
honey is “bargaining State Jobe
for support in the Democratic
primary.”
Herbert R. O’Conor, Jr.,
Tawes campaign chairman, said
that Mahoney backers had writ
ten a letter to a candidate on a
local ticket.
He quoted the as say
lnTr,~“fie askirfert thai 1 "
will lend your support in our
behalf that you will be remem
bered when George Mahoney
takes office on January 1.”
Tawes spokesmen repudiated
the Mahoney charges on sav
ings and loan saying the bill
vetoed by Tawes would not
have aided depositors; they
said Blair Lee, 111, a member of
the House of Delegates and
Mahoney slate candidate for
U. S. Senate, defeated efforts to
get teacher salary Increases;
they added the hospital is near
a State mental hospital, whose
staff would be available to treat
retarded children.
Mahoney staff spokesmen
said the letter referred to by
O’Conor was nothing more than
“it seems on the surface.” The
letter was merely a routine bid
for support
