Silver Spring Group
Battles Apartments
For Woodside Park

A delegation of Is residents of
Woodside Park, Silver Spring, ap-
peared before the Montgomery
County commissioners yesterday in
Rockville to voice strong opposition
to a petition to rezone approx
mately % acres in Woodside Park
for apartment house use.
The petition was one of 13 heard
by the commissioners who deferred
action.
The 23-acre tract is between Dale
drive and Sligo Greek parkway. The
request to reclassify the tract, now
zoned residential A, was filed by
the owners, j. A. and H. F. Wat
son and H. o. Rose,
They claimed construction of a
garden type apartment project
would improve property values in
the area.
To Resemble Falkland Apartments.
They said plans for the project
have not yet been completed, but
that it would be similar to the Falk-
land Apartments on the East-West
highway.
Those opposing the petition
argued that construction OF apart
ments in an area now devoted to
single family homes would reduce
property values and overburden
school facilities.
Harold P. Morris, 1112 Noyes
drive, Woodside Park, said the
county receives approximately $lo4
annually from the average home in
Woodside Park for school purposes.
He said the average apartment in
Silver Spring produces only $26 per
year for school purposes.
Other speakers warned that If an
apartment project Is built occu-
pants would stake over Sligo Park
because there would be so many of
them"
Planners Oppose Request.
The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission has
recommended that the request for
rezoning be denied. The commits
sion said that reclassiflcation of the
tract for apartment House use
would be completely incompatible
with any of the established land
uses in the community"

II am convinced that there is

The representatives of the
American churches also made
statements concerning the Ste
pinac case.
DR.. Shipler said:
"Proofs set forth at the Stepi-
nae trial with which we have
become familiar here, deeply inn
pressed me. The Stepinac case is
one of the main reasons for our
coming to Jugoslavia. We are

Americans are informed of it,

DR.. Samuel Trexler, Commits

"Great elan in the work of re-

that on this occasion he was par
ticularly interested in the free
dom enjoyed by the various less
er religious denominations, such
as Adventists, fBaptists and
others, and that he was, certain
that these religious groups were
not molested and that they even
enjoyed greater freedom of ac-
ton than in former Jugoslavia.
On the occasion of his arrival
in Ljubljana, DR.. Shipler said:
"We have come to Jugoslavia
with great interest and expecta-
tions that our visit would con-
tribute to the improvement of
relations between Jugoslavia
and the United States. So far on
our trip we have become farni-
liar with the will of the Jugo-
slav people for work and prog
ress, and their enormous efforts
to surmount the postwar diff
culties. We were cordially well
coined everywhere and are very.
happy to be able to learn the
truth about Jugoslavia."

II PER CENT
B. F. Goodrich First Of
Big Four Making
Cuts

AKRON, o., May 81 WD -
The B. F. Goodrich company to-
day became the first big four rub
Der company to announce a price
reduction, slashing retail list prices
generally 10 per cent on all pas
senger car tires and tubes.
The price cut is effective June 2,
James j. Newman, Goodrich vice
president said.
A company spokesman said the
reduction would average about 10
per cent, depending on the type of
the product. For example, he said,
the Cookie Silvertown tire, the
company's largest seller, will be
reduced to $14.4 40 from $16.10.
Newman said cooperation OF re-
~tailers in sharing a reduction in
profit with the company made the
price cut possible.
"An expected increase in man.
power efficiency, anticipated low
er material costs and a forecast
of a continuing relatively high
level of production and sales" he
said, "are the main factors in
making a price reduction at this
time.
This general reduction in price
brings all popular sizes of the
company's passenger car tires be-
low pre-war prices for tires that
outwear pre-war tires.
