Germ over possible encroachment by

mated as valley parks, according to
John Nolen, jr., the commissioner
planning director.
Mr.. Nolen recalled that the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, under the

Congress gave it only $l59,000 for
this. he said.
Mr.. Nolen called special attention
to the upper end of Sligo Park,
where a subdivision is spilling down
into the valley and making the land
undesirable for park purposes.

on its trip by William Burrage. plan
ming engineer of the Maryland COM
mission in Montgomery County. and
Fred Tuemmler, director of plan
ming for that commission in Prince

posed relocation of a portion of the
East-West Highway to connect di-
rectly with the Colesville pike. They
also looked over Wheaton, Md, and
other areas to obtain an idea of
the scope of current housing de-
velopments.
Mr.. Nolen said the commission
was impressed with the variety of
housing and the foresight of the
Maryland commission in securing
rights of way for widening import
ant main thoroughfares to give ac-
cess to new housing developments.

One woman, shy on direct quotes

mated by a commercial outfit back

One way to get on the American
Olympic team as a professional
temporarily is to volunteer to nurse
the athletes without pay and get
your bid in early. That was the
tactic of a war widow, pretty 26-

indicative of the calm way the
British take the big sports spectacle
are the small, casual stories on the
arrival of the United States team,
the biggest of all Olympic entries.
The test match in cricket between
Australia and England is the most
important sports news Of the day.
Horse racing gets lots Of space, the
Lesnevich-Mills fight does well-but
the Olympics and the Americans
are dismissed almost curtly.
Crowds that watch the American

immaculate United States uniforms
contrasting sharply with the gen.
orally shabby level of British
clothes, are undoubtedly envied but
they evoke no cheers.
Even for severely rationed, Textile
starved England the absence OF
flags and bunting is striking.

Evening Standard says "London's
lack of interest in the Olympic
games may be disastrous for Mr..
Bjorn Bjornsson. chairman of the
81 Olympic attaches.
'Tn partnership with Mr.. William
Crocker, the city solicitor, he
formed the concession in Olympic
souvenirs. He put around 10000
pounds ($80,000 into it.
But sales so far have been ter
rible,' says Mr.. Bjornsson. Hardly
any one seems to want an Olympic
souvenir pennant for his car or
bicycle"
The same Evening Standard re-
ported the arrival of the American
team-and revealed also the great
preoccupation Of the British in
food-merely by using a one col

the first page and this was all that
went with it:
