Programs Key to Attendance
At Meetings, Munter Finds
Chevy Chase Chief
Explains His Units
Large Membership
By CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

The Citizens Association of Chevy
Chase, which claims to be the
largest in the city with a member
ship of some 2,280, also claims to
have more than average attendance
at its meetings.
| In explaining this attendance
claim in an interview, Godfrey L.
Munter, president, said he felt 1t
was due to the fact that the asso-
citation tries Ito have a constructive
and interesting program at every
meeting and discuss problems OF
general welfare of the community"
He added:
Nothing will diminish attendance
as much as failure to have a con-
structive program to offer to MEM
| bers."
The question of attendance was
the subject of a cross-fire exchange
of remarks between transit COM
pany attorney and Mr.. Munter at
the hearings this February on the
cross town bus route. Mr.. Munter,
who testified before the Public Util-
tiles Commission that his group IA
vored the Military road route, was
asked by the company attorney how
many members were present when
| the association made its decision.
"Ten times as many as attend
your stockholders meetings, Mr..
Munter shot back.
Good Speakers Needed.
Another thing which helps to
draw out members, he said, is to
have outstanding speakers and civic
| leaders. He said that in the past
the association had heard talks by
District Attorney Edward M. Cur
ran, DR.. William Souder of the Bu-
reau of Standards. Inspector Arthur
E. Miller of the Traffic Division OF
the Metropolitan Police Department,
and Representative Bertrand w.
Gearhart of California.
Mr.. Munter has been member
of the association since moving to
the Chevy Chase area 13 years ago,
having been previously a member
of the Cleveland Park Citizens As
ISOLATION. All five of his children
have attended the E. v. Brown
School, with three there now.
Born in Berne, Switzerland. Mr..
Munter came to this country in his
youth and received part of his edu-
cation in Chicago, where he at
tended high school and the Uni
versity of Chicago. A resident of the
District since 1918, he received his
A. B. degree from George Washing
ton University and his law degree
from National University Law
School, where he is now profess
sor of law.
Was Swiss Legation Employe.
From 1918 to 1920, Mr.. Munter
served on the legal staff of the
Swiss Legation here. He is a mem
ber of the California, American and
District Bar Associations, and was
u VIC 1ONoA vol AAA A0co'
Asked if he had any hobbies, he
first shook his head negatively, and
then added with smile:
You can say I am a member Of
the buffers division of the golfers
of the Columbia Country Club"
Mr.. Munter, who has served on a
number of committees in the asso-
citation, said he had always taken
an interest in civic affairs" Among
the matters concerning the assoc
citation this season, he said, was the
elimination of the traffic hazard at
Oliver street and Connecticut ave-
nue. NV. by the Chevy Chase bus
terminal, cooperation on local de-
fense and a memorial service for
the late Edwin S. Hege. who once
served Dc their delegate to the Fed.

Proposal Discussed
At Meeting Of
Commissioners

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Juns
ia plan to declare moratorium
on pending zoning APPLICATIONS or
property in the metropolitan area
of Prince Georges County and de-
velop a master zoning plan for the
entire area is being considered by
the county membership on the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
A somewhat similar move has al
ready been made by the Montgom-
cry County Commissioners.
The Prince Georges plan was re-
vealed yesterday by r. NJ Watkins,
planning commission member, who,
with George N. Palmer, another
member, and Irwin Kaplan, acting
chief engineer of the commission,
discussed the matter informally
with the Board of County Commits
sioners at their meeting here. =
Favorable Action Forecast.
Mr.. Watkins said the plan prob
ably would be presented at the
next meeting of the Park and Plan
ming Commission and, if approved,
recommended for adoption by the
county commissioners.
1t is understood that the Prince
Georges County Commissioners
would favor such plan on the
grounds that it would definitely
establish certain commercial and
industrial areas and eliminate much
Of the usual contention between
the rezoning petitioner and resi-
dents who are affected by such
changes.
Several rezoning cases now are
pending, the solution of which
would rest in the plan, Mr.. Watkins
said.
He pointed out that the mora
torium would not apply to cases
which concern property within or
adjacent to present industrial or
commercial areas.
Rapid Growth a Factor.
Mr.. Watkins said the plan is the
result of the rapid growth of the
county's metropolitan area in the
past three years, during which new
residential areas have been de-
veloped and new highways planned.
Moreover projected parkway de-
velopment is another reason why
some master zoning plan should
be adopted, Mr. Watkins said.
Mr.. Kaplan pointed out that the
first step of the plan would be a
survey consisting of a field inspec-
ton and examination of all the
property in the county's metropoli-
tan area with a view toward pre-
pairing a city planning and zoning
