The draft Republican platform, completed after protracted sessions, shifts toward Goldwater ideas with modular federalism for aged care and school funding, cuts federal aid, and favors state tax shifts. It promotes religious exercises in public places, recognizes a Cuban government in exile, criticizes détente with the Soviet Union, supports NATO, and calls for Berlin Wall demolition as a precondition to talks. The document also targets constitutional amendment to change school seat apportionment, cuts aid by at least 5 billion, limits government in labor disputes, and alleges Democratic weakness to communism.

Protest Over County Auction Sales Regulation drawn by Supervisors

About 40 visitors attended the Frederick County Board of Supervisors reg ular session to oppose a proposed ordinance requiring second hand dealers to report sales and provide buyer and seller details. Attorneys for Denny's Commission Auction said the rules are burdensome and unfair, with potential annual costs around $2,000 for clerical help. Sheriff records suggest most reported sales are small and rarely help crimes, while another speaker opposed taxing trailer park owners, favoring taxes on individual park residents. The board promised action on both concerns before adjournment and would revisit a sanitation supervisor request later.
