• Record Throng (Continued from Page One) had their last chance and that any more applause would mean an empty auditorium. Despite being the first and highest ranking of the “government witnesses,” Sanjuan was greet ed with almost complete silence. The no applause rule was not broken again until Friday night, when young David Cooper took the floor for the Walter Johnson High School Student Council Association. His youthful, brushed hair, shined shoes, and courage to get up before his elders to say what the kids at Walter John son believe brought a strong Chamber Official Replies to Student Councilman John Henry Hiser made public this week a letter from Walter Hess, a Bethesda-Chevy Chase Cham ber of Commerce director, replying to the discrimina tion charges of a Walter Johnson High School student at last week’s public accom modations ordinance hearing. Hess said In the letter a discrimination Incident re ferred to by the high school student occurred about a year ago at a private club not covered by the public ac commodations law. hand of spontaneous applause when he finished ...and Floyd's gavel down on the table. “This hearing will now ad journ,” he said. He was greet ed by mixed cheers and boos. Many people left the audito rium, some surged forward to the stage to protest. Two minutes later the gavel came down again. "I, too, admire the courage of a young man who will stand up and speak his mind,” Floyd said. “Let’s go on with this hearing.” Someone started to applaud, but stopped. The two meetings had dif ferent atmospheres. Wednesday night's was tense. Television and radio were there, bright lights flooded both the stage where the council sat, and the rostrum—marked “Class of I96o”—at which the speakers stood. CBS-TV, the three Wash ington papers, and The Sentinel shared the press table, and the New York Times had one of its Washington staff hidden quietly in the audience. The crowd was tense. It had heard rumors that the meeting would be called off at the last minute. It half-expected a County Attorney's ruling that the county ordinance was in valid. It was largely for reten tion of the ordinance, and felt the County Council was for re peal. Friday night the crowd had dropped more than one-third, and what was left was mostly bored. There was no television, no radio. The New York Times man was still in the audience. Most of the big guns had al ready spoken. Sanjuan, Went zel. Scull, Steers and McTighe for retention. Barbee and Noyes for repeal. The argu ments had all been heard. That segregation is immoral, that repeal would be step back wards, that repeal would em barrass America and would breed disorder. That legislation is not the road to tolerance, that a man has a right to say who he will or will not serve, that the county ordinance is illegal. The Friday crowd was esti mated at about 850, but looked like even less. A group of high school youths seeking signa tures on a petition to retain the ordinance said they got 1200 signatures from people enter ing and leaving the auditorium. After the meeting a group of men stood talking to Lee A. Dodson, chairman of the coun ty chapter of the Maryland Petitions Committee. In their lapels they wore white discs, each with a blue bell embossed on it. A newspaper reporter asked what the discs stood for. "That the Liberty Bell, son,” one replied. "Don't you know the Liberty Bell when you see it?” The reporter asked him what group or organization the insig nia stood for. He took the disc off, and put it in his jacket pocket. upholstering I draperies v bedspreads I cornices vk R eavers I shades /akV 'J \\; , . 3707 mv*rMty bhrd., W*y A TL 2<*d !♦* Md. ] 949-9333 never a charge for decorator service I T ...■.,■.1.,, M ill p t?

Smith Sentinel Reporter Montgomery County teenagers have always been held in high regard by Mrs. Winifred Reid, but it took a trip far from home to prove just how fully her confidence was justified. A registrar at Walter John son High School who lives at 520 Brent Road in Rockville, Mrs. Reid is the mother of 16- year-old Sandy Reid, a junior at Richard Montgomery High School. During the Easter holi days, she drove to Florida ac companied by Sandy and one of her classmates, Betty Roche, of Rockville, and a family friend, Mrs. Glenn Jennings, of Kensington. Along the way they encoun tered two other Richard Mont gomery students from Rock ville, Lemuel Johnson, 1023 Crawford Drive, and Bob Lear mouth, 1003 Paul Drive. The meeting turned out to be a highlight of their trip. Mrs. Reid and her com panions were some 600 miles from home and about 20 miles north of Savannah, Ga., when Good Friday turned out to be just that—but only after they had undergone a somewhat harrowing half hour.

Of the four oe. cupants, none was sufficiently well versed in tire changing to attempt the operation after dark. During the next half hour, ac cording to Mrs. Reid, numerous cars passed by as she and her companions waved frantically in an effort to flag down some help. Most of the occupants of the cars were friendly to the extent that they waved back or tooted their horns, but that was all. Then, as annoyance began to develop into grave concern, an auto slammed on its brakes, swung into a U-turn and came back to the stranded vacation ers. “We still weren't sure they were there to help us,” Mrs. Reid recalled, “but then we saw the Maryland tags on the car. They were like pennies from heaven.” From the car stepped Lemuel and Bob, themselves en route to Florida for a vacation.

Rockville leaders fought the measure because of their fear that owners of the tract will win major commercial zoning concessions from the County Council for the area adjacent to the city limits and jeopardize planned urban redevelopment of the city’s downtown business district. They had been unable to agree with the tract’s owners on the amount of commercial zoning the city would approve if the tract were annexed by the city. Earl W.

Not only did they tour the major points in Florida, but took a boat trip that gave them an opportunity to spend several hours in the Bahamas. Deaths Abner, Thelma May, 8648 P I n e y Branch Road.

CD Program Proposed By Civic Group An extensive civil defense program for Montgomery County, prepared by the Wheaton Woods Citizens As sociation after months of study, was submitted on Tuesday to the County County Council for consider ation. Representatives of the group said, however, they deferred plans to accompany the pre program with specific recom mendations in view of the coun cil’s recent acceptance of a na tional Civil Defense offer to conduct a “pilot” study in the area as one of several to be used as the basis for a nation wide defense program. The outcome of the survey could nullify some of the con clusions reached by partici pants in the civic group’s study, according to Rev. William J. Houston, one of the spokesman for the Wheaton Woods organ ization. Among major findings of the association committee was the view that mere “fallout” shel ters, providing protection from radiation, will be inadequate in metropolitan communities such as Montgomery County. "Here we must consider blast and heat in addition to radia tion,” the report asserted. The committee contended that grounds adjacent to schools should be the primary location for community protec tive shelters because they usual ly are "widely dispersed and generally well located in rela tion to population densities, be cause approximately a quarter of the nation’s population spends many of its "waking hours” at school and because the use would minimize site ac quisition problems. While terming schools the No. 1 defense site, the group said it also found additional land in the Wheaton area avail able for defense use. Included were public land, church sites and some private property, all of which were listed in the re port. Because of the extensive need for shelters, the report main tained, they should be built to serve dual purposes so that the investment would not be wasted in peacetime. With respect to size and capacity, it said, they should be adequate to house 100 per cent of the population of the area at any given time. State Insurance License Revoked The State Insurance Depart- i ment of Maryland has announ- { ced revocation of the license of Miss Jane Persay, who also operated under the name of J. Persay and Co. at 8615 Fenton St. in Silver Spring. Insurance Commissioner F.

Shand, campaign di rector for Republican candidates who won a majority of offices in last November’s elections, has been chosen to head the Men’s Republican Club of Montgomery County. A Bethesda resident who serves as precinct chariman in the Kensington Park area, Shand was elected president to succeed David Scull, current Republican chairman of Mary land, at the annual meeting of hte club. On taking office, Shand assert ed that the principal objective of the organization under his administration will be “construc tive criticism of the conduct of local, state and national govern ment.” “What political debate needs In this critical age is a better informed electorate and more imaginative solutions to in creasingly complex problems at all levels of government,” he continued. “By searching analysis of key problems of the day, the Men’s Republican Club can become a construc tive force for better govern ment.” An assistant secretary of the Machinery and Allied Products Institute, a business research organization quartered in Wash ington, Shand served as cam paign director for all 26 Repub licans who ran for office in the fall campaign.

Sickles Rep. Carlton R. Sickles (D- Md.) has introduced legislation repealing the authority of the states to issue the so-called “right to work” laws. Sickles said "this grant of power to the states abridges the right of free collective bargain ing. It Is neither equitable nor conducive to peaceful and en lightened labor-management re lations.” The Sickles proposal would repeal Section 148 of the Na tional Labor Relations Act which now permits any state to outlaw collective bargaining agreements otherwise permis sible under Federal law. Con gressman Sickles pointed out that his own State of Maryland and 29 other states “do not in fringe on the right of employ ers and unions to include a union shop clause In their free ly bargained contracts.” "The practical effect of ‘right to work’ laws,” said Sickles, “is to pit state against state in a ruthless battle to lure industry by virtue of restrictive state legislation.

Sickles said that the term “right to work” is a mis nomer. "These laws do not give any person the right to work. In reality they give him the right to enjoy union negotiated contracts without “paying the freight.’ If the ‘right to work’ advocates were really sincere about Insuring free choice of jobs, they could properly con cern themselves with Fair Em ployment Practices legislation.” “Union membership as a basis for continued employ ment,” he continued, "should be left to agreement by labor and management through collective bargaining. The existing au thorization to the states which enables them to infringe on the collective bargaining process and diminish rights provided under Federal law should be re pealed.” ROCKMONTYj CHEVROLET / The homb or i i CMEVMUT ~ ~\ I \ ueeo I 1 AcAeSJ.I I ROCKVILLE • GA. 45900 K I Open Evoi ’til f—Sot 'til I A3
