In line with the County Councils
plans for expansion "in order to do
the job the county government will
be called upon to do" in years in
the not-too-far distant future, an
nouncement was made last week
that it is planned to erect new
million-dollar county office build
ing in Rockville. Details of the
project, along with plans for re-
modelling the present Courthouse,
were released by County Manager
Irving G. McNayr last week.
The new building will be on
South Perry Street, adjacent to
the telephone company building,
extending onto Welsh Field. In
addition to providing space for
several county departments, the
structure will house Health De-
partment clinics and the county
agricultural and home demonstra-
ton agents. The Courthouse will
be remodeled to provide an adj
ditional Circuit Court Room and
more space for the Orphans, Ju-
venile and Trial Magistrates
Courts, Sheriff's Office and the
Circuit Court Clerk.
First hint of such project was
made by Mr.. McNayr at a meet
ing of the Rockville Chamber of
Commerce in April at which time
he forecast a tremendous growth
within the next few years of
Rockville and Montgomery County.
At that time he showed members
of the Chamber site plans of the
building the council hopes to erect
on land on which it then had an
option to purchase, at South Perry
and Jefferson Street. The County
Manager pointed out that by NOV
ing some of the offices from the
Courthouse, screly needed space
will be freed for expanding court
facilities. Space will also be

New County Office Building
Proposed BY CO. Council

freed in the Board of Education
building which is planning on
rapidly increasing student popu-
lation.
Included in the project as it was
revealed to the Chamber of Com
merce were plans for an auditor
ium in the proposed new building
which will seat about 1000. The
auditorium, he said, would be
available for town functions as
we'll as county affairs.
The office section of the new
building will be five stories high.
The health section will be three.
The office section will cost $943, 900
and the health section $445,000.
Officials estimate it will take II
to Is months to complete con-
struction.
The Courthouse will continue to
house the county Jail and the of
fees of the States Attorney and
the Law Library.
Mr.. McNayr has predicted that
within another year or two, there
would be no agricultural farm land
between Rockville and Silver
Spring of Bethesda, and that the
population would increase to $780,
900. If the trend in Rockville con-
tinues, he said, the population will
jump to $4,000 or $4,000 and thus
feels that the council must plan
accordingly" He added that at
the present time the county is
renting space amounting to APP
proximately $4,000 annually for
offices which could function more
efficiently.

u. 5. Is Studying Call
By Russia for Big a
Talk, Acheson Says

Secretary of State Acheson said
today that any new negotiations
with Russia to lessen world ten
sion must be based on evidence OF
"a genuine desire" by the Russians
to reach agreements rather than
merely to exploit the worlds peace
hopes for propaganda purposes
He told a news conference, how
ever, that this Government is CIV
ing careful consideration" 20 a
recent Soviet proposal for meet
ing of the Big Four Council OF
Foreign Ministers to try to work
out agreements for demilitariza-
ton and unification of Germany
Mr.. Acheson pointed out that
Russia delayed for more than five
months a reply to a note from the
Western powers last May calling
for the disbanding of the heavily
armed military forces created in
the Soviet zone of Germany. He
said the 'belated Soviet reply
completely evaded the issue"
Recalling Soviet tactics to
block carrying out of a 1949 agree
ment for prompt conclusion of a
peace treaty with Austria, Mr..
Acheson asserted:
I'm deciding how a further
meeting of the Council of Foreign
Ministers could, in fact, serve the
interests of world peace, we must
clearly consider the extent to
which the decisions of the previous
meeting have or have not been
carried out"
He pointed out, too, that Ger
many lis but one of many issues
which Soviet policy since the end
of the war has thrust upon the
world" Other nations, he added,
"are being subjected to an in
creasing war of nerves, and in
some cases to actual aggression. !"
For these reasons, Mr.. Acheson
said, the free world will continue
rearming, until legitimate fears of
Soviet intentions are removed.
