Dear Editor:
1 cannot begin to tell you how
thrilled l was when I learned
that thru your efforts the Israel
Philharmonic Orchestra will give
a concert here next March 7.
On my visit to Israel last sum-
mer 1 had the genuine pleasure
of hearing the Orchestra on three
different occasions. The first per-
torrance, at the imposing Habi-
NAH Theatre in Tel Aviv, con-
Quoted by Izler Solomon had the
fiery, charming Jennie Tourel as
Soloist. At the second concert, in
Haifa, Paul Paray conducted the
concert which lasted almost four
hours, and still the enthusiastic
audience refused to leave.
was told that all the activities
in the nearby Harbor are ordered
stopped for fear that the noise
will penetrate the auditorium.
The third concert heard under
the stars in the open fields of Is
rael. This concert will be alive
in my memory to the last day of
my life. 1t was held at the foot
of historic Mount Gilboa. From
early morning I saw streams of
people from all directions slowly
moving towards the gates of Kib-
butz Elm Harod. 1t was as if
pilgrimage was coming to a holy
shrine The stage was improvised
of hundreds of bales of hay.
We sat on the ground in the
fields. These farmers from the
neighboring Kibbutzim d i d n t
have enough of the enchanting
music which lasted for hours and
hours.
hope that the time until March
7 will go very fast. I can hardly
wait for the time when I will
once again have the delight of
hearing them. Thanks for bring
ing them to Tucson.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Harry Strauss

tiers were reluctant to lend money
on Brookland real estate.
The start of Brookland dates
back to 1878, when the Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad ran it's west
bound tracks through the Brooks
farmland. The railroad put sta
ton there and in 1885 the Cath
olic Church purchased IS acres of
land in this railroad suburb for its
American university. The first sub
division was opened up two years
later by BENJAMIN F. Leighton
and Richard Pairo.
That was the beginning but like
most city suburbs it was the elec-
trio street railway which arrived
shortly after the turn of the GEN.
tury that caused most of the
building in Brookland.
Today, bordered by much more
recent developments, the 50-year-
old sections of Brookland have
antique charm. Brookland back
yards have country atmosphere,
fruit trees and combination vege-
table and flower gardens, This re-
porter came upon some chickens
but, of course, they are against
zoning regulations.
The trees are splendid, some of
them old forest trees, ash and
blue gum and all the varieties of
oaks to be found in this climate.
Flowers Win HclOrs.
When it comes to distributing
prizes in local flower shows, many
always go to residents of Brook
land and Woodbridge, its newer
neighbor to the east.
Mr.. Sherwood's immediate
neighbor whose home is an equally
impressive brick structure is
Charles H. Hospital, retired ex-
ecutive of Woodward & Lothrop's.
Mr.. Hospitals greenhouse is of
the type usually erected by COM
mercial florists or millionaires.
Another leading citizen is
Marvin M. Mclean, an Interior
Department attorney now retired,
who headed the Brookland Citi-
zens' Association for 80 years.

Brookland with Government cler-
ical workers.
For a time" said Mr.. Sher-
Evening star., 1950-09-18

in the late Dos and the gay 90s.
Brookland gets it's name because
the land was owned by the Brooks
family.
Records show the first owner
was an early settler named Wight
who obtained title to 1900 acres
which he named The Enclosure"
in 1888.
A Wight married a Queen, the
family for whom Queens Chapel
road is named, and the land passed
to the latter family. The chapel no
longer exists. The first chapel was
disguised as a residence as the
Queens were Catholic and open
observance of their religion was
impossible in Colonial Maryland
in the 18th century. That chapel
was burned by the British when
they descended on Washington in
1914.
Romantic Relic Survives.
A second chapel was destroyed
during the Civil War, supposedly
by Massachusetts, soldiers who
acted on a report that the Queens
were Southern sympathizers.
1t was about 1900, while the
first chapel was still standing, that
Anne Queen married Col. Jehiel
Brooks. That is how the land came
into the Brooks family.
A relic of that early romance
still stands, the house that Col.
Brooks built for his bride. 1t is a
simple, long brick structure
painted a light tan. It is now a
convent of the Benedictine Sisters
but they have done little to change
its exterior appearance. The Fed
eral portico and doorway on the
north side of the building, prob
ably is the original one con-
structed when the house was
built.

Mr.. Sherwood remembers the
last of the Brooks who lived there,

whose income was largely from
the budding Brookland real estate
situation. He sold the house about
1890 to a Catholic order.

1854 Million 10 Run
ID. {. and Improve Il
By Horriet Griffiths

District department heads have
asked for record breaking $154,-
600,326 to run the city govern
ment and provide permanent i'm
lprovements during the fiscal year
1852, the Commissioners disclosed
today.
The total is more than $40
million higher than the previous
record, set by 1949 fiscal need
estimates amounting to $143,886 =
900.
The requests include $41, ,061 ,251
for capital outlay-new conStruc-
tion-of which about 81 million
is designated for highway projects
and almost Sc million for the
water system.
The size Of this estimate is
considered to be out of line with
what funds will permit and the

Sorb.
Young Figures $40 Million.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon
r. Young said he felt that about
$40 million would be as much
as the market could bear by way
OF municipal construction without
higher prices resulting.
OF the total requested, $132.-
203, ,280 is for the general fund,
$12. .493, ,046 for the highway fund
and $9,904.000 for the water fund.
The highway and water funds
are self-supporting, from gasoline
taxes, vehicle registration and
license fees, water rents and other
related income.
Operating expenses for the city
during the new fiscal year total
$113,539,075 under the depart
mental estimates. OF this, S.
443,046 is devoted to highways
and $3,968,000 to water.
Labor Outlook Uncertain.
The department heads seek to
create 1923 new jobs which would
cost $4,597. $40. The Health De-
partment wants the most, 674.
The Police Department asks $50
additions, the schools. 225, and
the Welfare Department, 78.
The labor outlook is uncertain.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
recalled that during the last war,
some 1900 workers were taken
from the District service.
On the new construction side,
the public school system has bid
for the biggest building program
with requests totaling $9,442 900.
The Highway Department comes
next with $7,050,0O0; then the
Washington Aqueduct. $4,430, 900:

KeneiippDecides
Not 10 Abandon
New Stop Light
He Sees No Reason to
Remove Controversial
Signal at 18th and D

Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp this afternoon announced
that "as of today" he saw no
reason to abandon the contro-
versial new stop light at Four
teenth and D streets S.W.
Mr.. Keneipp said he based his
decision on q review of the situa-
ton with his engineers and an in
spection trip he made this morn
ing. He made the trip in 2 min
utes and 81 seconds, which he said
was only "A seconds longer than
the best time possible under the
speed limit without any light.
The traffic director said he
would continue to observe the light
for the next few days. But he
added he foresaw no change in
his stand. Instead of complaints,
his department now is receiving
favorable comments on the new
traffic controls. he asserted.
The new light came under fire
from Virginia commuters last
week, getting the blame for Wash
ington bound slowdowns reported
one day as long as half an hour.
The traffic director went 70
the Southwest intersection even
before he got to his desk this
morning. He returned yesterday
from two-week trip to the West
Coast.
Mr. Keneipp said he recon-
mended this light, and naturally
I'm going to defend it."
The traffic director said in his
view the need for the traffic light
has been obvious ever since the
new bridge was opened"
Gives Explanation.
1t was put in, he explained, be-
cause the former left turn into c
street had to be eliminated to re-
lieve congestion - making pro-
vision for the turn at D street
necessary-and because pedestri-
ans without a light had to fight
their way across" at D street.
The traffic director indicated
special concern for the left-turn
problem.
1T isn't good traffic to permit
no left turn all the way from In
dependence avenue to the Jeffer-
son memorial" he declared.
He asserted also that there is
bound to be some delay" when
ever traffic comes into a con-
gested area from one where it
moves freely-a reference to the
complaints from Virginia COM
muters that they have been de-
layed coming into town at the
new light.
Takes Time to Get Used" to 1t.
1T takes little time for people
to get used to new light" Mr..
Keneipp added, pointing out that
this morning they still seemed q
little uncertain of their move
ments when policeman stopped
directing them.

II days ago that the light hasn't
been supplemented by one or more
policemen. One was in the street
from 7 to 8 am, but thereafter
stood on the curb.
Motorists this morning also
found new white broken lines
marking traffic lanes back from
the intersection to the Maine ave-

ing from the bridge. Up to now
cars have been getting into the
wrong lanes frequently and then
