The picture of wholesale muSh-
room development of low-cost hous-
ing in nearby Maryland was placed
before the Prince Georges Chamber
Of Commerce last night at a meet
ing in the Lord Calvert Inn, College
Park.
Fred A. Smith, president of the
Washington Board of Trade; Robert
M. Watkins, member of the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, and other
speakers pointed out that Washing
ton and its surrounding territory
have been constituted a defense area
in which homes for workers costi.g
less than $4,000 each will be giver
priority for construction materials.
The speakers expressed the fear
that material for higher-priced
homes could no longer be had and
Mr.. Watkins predicted an influx of
low-cost homes would create a tax
and health situation that would be
difficult for Prince Georges County
TO handle.
Mr.. Smith said he believed that
the $4,000 limit on homes was un-
necessary in view of the small pro-
portion of steel and other vital ma
I terials needed in their construction
He emphasized the necessity fol-
Washington and its adjacent areas
/ to work together to solve their COM
mon problems. He warned that il
! price control legislation is enacted
rents may be controlled in Prince
Georges County.

From the loving mattresses
to the beer-sipping customers, every
body had a fine time at the National
Symphony Orchestra's first pop"
concert last night in Riverside
Stadium.
There were more than 1000 people
in the stadium, crowded around the
yellow-cl clothed tables and filling the
tiers facing the orchestra.
Mattresses in red and gray, said
to have been chosen for their love
of music, tiptoed among the tables
to serve beer and ale, ham sand
wiches and even an occasional hot
chill.
The music was light and so was
the wine.
While the orchestra was still
tuning up the early arriving Gus
toners put in their orders for beer.
There were a few around the tables
in evening dress, but most of the
music lovers came in street clothes,
even slacks.
INFORMAL Out quiet.
I, 1t was all very informal, comfort
able, but it was surprisingly quiet,
too. Occasionally you could hear
the click of a knitting needle or
the tinkle of ice in a glass of lem
onade, but the mattresses moved on
rubber-Soled feet and strange sounds
failed to penetrate even the hushed
tones of Sowerby's overture to

waitress explained, "the glasses

against the side tiers and nodded
their trays in time to the music

mented ruefully that she hadn't had
a chance to look at the program
yet.
Two policemen assigned to direct
traffic around the stadium came
inside at the intermission to catch
hthe Strauss Waltzes.
Residential Society Attends.
Although there were few officials
or diplomats in the audience, parties
OF socially prominent residents had
come to quaff beer and listen to
the music. Among them were the
director of the Labor DEPARTMENT.
