Police Investigating
Fire in Chevy Chase

Montgomery County police are in
vestigating a fire which virtually
destroyed a former real estate Office
yesterday at Oak lane and Leland
street, Chevy Chase, after the owner
Of the property said nearby resi-
dents had demanded that he get
rid of it or burn it down"
The blaze also dealt a heavy blow
to plans of the Bethesda Chevy
Chase Cooperative Nursery School
to use the three-room one-story
frame structure as nursery for
pre-school age children.
NJ. P. McDermott, 203 Elm street.
Chevy Chase, who purchased the
building from the Shannon g. Luchs
Real Estate Co. about a year ago,
said that when residents in the vi
cinity of the Office learned of plans
to convert it into a nursery a few
weeks ago. he began to receive an
onymous telephone calls ordering
him to tear it down"
"Firemen couldn't find out how the
fire started" Mr. McDermott said,
"and I believe the only way it could
have caught fire was from some one
setting match to it."
Vigorous opposition by residents
of the area to the proposal to estab-
lish a nursery in the building was
voiced at recent hearing before the
Montgomery County Board of Zon-
ing Appeals. They maintained that
it would depreciate property values.

now housed in the Bethesda Chevy

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, Feb. II. - Fines
ranging from $100 to $1,000 were
imposed today on seven men ac-
cused in criminal infornations of
involvement in a Western Maryland
black market in automobile tires,
and one of the seven also was sem
fenced to nine months in prison.
The cases of two who pleaded in
nocent were continued to March IA.
Charges against the men, who
were arraigned in Federal Court
before Judge W. Calvin Chestnut,
were filed after an inquiry last
summer by OPA Investigator Arthur
Perlman, who said at that time that
the tires were bought legally and
sold in violation of OPA regulations.
Gets Nine Months.
Louis Yankelevitz, Cumberland
tire dealer, was fined $1,000 and
sentenced to nine months irnpris-
onment after he pleaded guilty to
transferring 81 tires to five different
men, including Cumberland bank
er and Cumberland physician. He
also pleaded guilty to failure to
keep proper records.
Mr.. Perlman said Yankelevitz
bought 359 prewar passenger tires
from a Johnstown, Pa, firm and
sold a number of them in violation
of OPA regulations. Harold Fletch-
er, vice president of the Peoples
Bank of Cumberland, was fined $500
and costs after pleading guilty to a
charge of receiving nine new tires
from Yankelevitz without tire cer-
tificates.
The tire dealer financed his pur-
chases through the bank and Judge
Chestnut commented that the bank
er apparently used his position to
take benefit from his debtor"
Among Those Fined.
Fines also were imposed on:
DR.. K. Rozum, Cumberland physi-
clan, 500, for receiving four tires.
DR.. Rozum is a director of the Peo-
pies Bank.
John Wells Cornish, jr., Frostburg
hotel man and son-in-law of a Peo-
pies Bank official, $3.50, for receiv-
ing eight tires.
Irwin Lee Morton. Cumberland
$3.50, for receiving eight tires.
Ralph 1dolfi, Cumberland, who
received two tires after complain
ing about tire-recapping job, 500.
Frank Molinari, Cumberland, s100,
for receiving two tires from another
source.
The trials deferred to March IA
were those of Jerry Morton and
Weldon Skiles, both of Cumberland,
accused, respectively, of receiving
four tires and of unlawfully trans
ferring four tires

Denny Calls for Boos|
In Tax Contributions
For Virginia Schools
BY the Associated Press.


ROANOKE, Va, Feb. 17.-Dr
George H. Denny, chairman of the
Virginia Education Commission, yes
terday ADVOCATED increased tax
contributions from counties and
localities to pay for the currently
proposed school program and said
the people of Virginia must take a
different attitude toward industrial
employment if vocational education
is to be successful.
Speaking before the Roanoke
Woman's Club, DR.. Denny said:
I'VE have got to proclaim that all
work is honorable-not just white
collar jobs and the professions. We
have got to take different attitude
if we are going to keep the young
people off the streets. They can't
all be a great judge or a great
lawyer. A person can be a great
man in a blacksmith shop or laying
bricks"
Report of the People.
He termed the report of the Denny
School Study Commission a report
of the people and said lit is some
thing that comes up from the people
the very best people that We could
enlist from all over the State gave
their time and thought to formulate
a recommendation for Virginia
schools"
DR.. Denny pointed out that Vir-
ginia is one of the few States in the
Nation free of debt and said the
State lis now in position to build
the school system that we have so
long neglected"
The educator said that he believed
the recommendation to- employ
teachers on 10-month basis in
stead of 3 months a year would be
valuable in preparation for the
school year and in taking care of
many details at the end of the term.
He called the recommendation for
teacher pay increases the No. item
in the report.
The Legislature, he predicted,
will not dare turn down" the salary
recommendation. We need better
prepared teachers and this is one
way of getting them"
Standards to Be Raised.
He said, however. that the in
crease in salary method was not to
be relied on alone as a means of
obtaining better teachers and that
teacher college facilities will i'm
prove standards.
DR.. Denny said that plans are
under way for establishment of q
system of tests two or three times
a year throughout the entire school
system of the State as a means of
raising standards.
I'VE will restore old Virginia
standards and have IL grades in
stead of II, if that will help. We
are also going to give free textbooks
to those in the elementary grades, y
he added.
