Northwest Council Aid
Pledged in Converting
School Into Center

Support of the Chevy Chase Com
munity Councils efforts to convert
the E. v. Brown School into Ii
brary and recreation center was
pledged last night by the. Northwest
Council of Citizens Associations.
M. Douglas Clarke, council presi-
dent, pointed out the need for a
recreational center in the Chevy
Chase area. He said the location OF
the Brown School is ideal for chill
dren residing in the Forest Hills,
North Cleveland Park and upper
Connecticut avenue areas.
Seen as Economic Solution.
"Reconversion of the f. v. Brown
school is a practical and economical
solution to the problem of recrea-
tional center" Mr.. Clarke said, "be-
cause the building is already there
and remodeling costs would be
negligible. In addition, the school
is now surplus property with the
elimination of the Office OF Price
Administration"
George T. Bowman, president OF
the Forest Hills Citizens Associa-
ton and delegate. to the council,
hailed the project "as fine method
of keeping children off the streets
and reducing juvenile delinquency"
The council, which represents 10
citizens associations in the North
west area, promised full co-opera-
tion in the project.
introduced by Gordon Atherholt,
Macarthur boulevard delegate. a
resolution was passed requesting
member associations to donate
funds to the family of Detective
Harry E. Hamilton killed November
1 in a collision while trying to ar
rest an alleged car thief.
Held PitifulIy Low.
Mr.. Atherholt remarked that the
fund for Detective Hamilton had
been pitifully low, amounting to
less than $4,000, and contrasted that
amount with 1000 trust fund
which had been set up for the
family of Policeman Donald W..
Downs, killed at his traffic post by
a driver who was being pursued by
police on August 81.
Other resolutions gave support to
the Northeast Recreation Council
in its request for wider use OF play
grounds at public schools during
afternoons and on Saturday and
urged member associations to study
the question of the proposed in
crease in gasoline taxes.
The meeting was held at 49l9
Brandywine street NV.

Georgetown Group Defers
Election Until Monday

A printers error delayed for one
week the annual election of officers
of the Georgetown Citizens AssocjA-
ton, Eugene E. Ditto, president, re-
ported last night, as he announced
a special election meeting for next
Monday.
The fact that the cards were sent
by the printer to the wrong place
kept the notices from being mailed
to members, with the result that
only about dozen persons appeared
at last nights meeting.
Oliver Gasch, assistant corpora
ton counsel for the District, and a
member of the Potomac River Com
mission, spcLe briefly on pollution
problems of the Potomac.
Brig. Gen. K. S. Bradford also
