Arlington PTA Sees
Need for 6 Additional
High Schools by 1858

Crowded conditions in Airing
ton will necessitate construction
of four additional junior high
schools by 1865 and two more
senior high schools by 1858, ac-
cording to the County Council of
Parent Teacher Associations.
The prediction was contained
in a report filed with the Execu-
tive Committee of the council by
a special committee on school
construction.
The committee said 1t based its
opinion on an estimate that en-
rollment within junior and senior
high school grades will increase at
a rate of about II per cent a year
even without a Jump in county
population.
BY September, 1852, the COM
mittee stated, one of the new
senior high schools will be needed
to augment the Westinghouse
High School, the county's only
high school for white students. A
fifth junior high school for the
county will be necessary by the
same time, the committee added.
The committee said the other
high school will be needed by Sep
tember, 1858. and two or three
more junior high schools will be
necessary by September. 1855.
A total of so more elementary
school classrooms also will be re-
quired each year for the next
three years, the committee pre-
dicted.
Presently-planned and possible
future additions to the Hoffman
Boston High School and a pro-
posed new elementary school in
the Nauck area will provide sufi-
cient facilities for Negro pupils,
the council stated.
In its report, the committee
said it "is continuing its study
and will at a later date report to
the County PTA Council concern
ing probable costs and possible
methods of financing the school
construction program it has rec
commended.
Howard Cannon, of the Pey-
ton Randolph School. is chair
man of the committee.

Hospital Ladies Board Protests
Removal of Nursing Director

The Alexandria Hospital Board
of Lady Managers has protested
what it called lack of courtesy
and consideration in the removal
of Mrs. Irene M. Rozel as di-
rector of nurses and of the school
of nursing.
In a letter to Hospital Admins
traitor Van c. Adams, the board
complained that the matter was
not handled in manner more
befitting the dignity of this insti-
tuition" and said Mrs. Roszel's
standing certainly entitled her
to more courteous consideration. -
Mrs. Roszel, who has held her
hospital posts for 13 years, was
informed last week that she would
not be retained after her term
expires in June. Her dismissal
was recommended by the hospitals
medical staff, but Mr.. Adams has
declined to give the reasons for
the action.

1N-Acre Corby Trac'
On Rockville Pike Is
Sold 10 Developers

The 120-acre Cotby tract on the
Rockville pike near Georgetown
Preparatory School, once the pro-
posed site of a $40 million luxury
hotel, has been sold to two Wash
ington builders, it was learned
today.
Purchasers are Frank Vitale
and Thomas D. Zibelli.
G. Clavert Bowie, who repre-
sented the heirs of the late
Charles I. Corby, wealthy WASH
ington baker. in the sale, said the
contract calls for construction of
single family homes to cost not
less than $11, 900 each. He added
the property, located at the north
east corner of the Rockville pike
and Garrett Park road can be
subdivided into $50 lots. The pur-
chase price was not disclosed.
The tract was reclaimed last
fall by the Corby heirs because of
the failure of Diplomat Proper
ties, Inc, New York, which bought
the land about five years ago, to
make necessary payments on its
mortgage.
One of the firms members was
BENJAMIN F. Fields, who figured
in the Congressional investigation
of Murray Carson, Howard
Hughes and former Representa-
tive Andrew j. May.
After Diplomat Properties bought
the property in 1914 for slightly
more than 100000, the firm an
nounced plans to build a 1000
room hotel on the site, as well as
a golf course, tennis courts and a
swimming pool.
Two years later the land was
rezoned to permit erection of the
proposed hotel with the provision
that it would revert to it's orig
inal residential-A classification if
construction did not start within
80 months.
Construction never got under
way and the land is now zoned
for single-family detached homes.

Medical Center Asked
For Suburban Area in
Montgomery County

A recommendation for a pro-
posed medical center to serve the
Bethesda-C Chevy Chase, Silver
Spring and Rockville areas has
been advanced by an official of
the Board of Trustees of Subur-
ban Hospital, Bethesda.
Randolph Bishop, board mem
ber and former president, made
the suggestion at the groups
meeting last night in the hospital
at which 10 board members were
reelected.
He expressed the fear that If
the Silver Spring Hospital Asso-
citation is successful in it's attempt
to obtain funds for an institution
in that area, the two hospitals
would be competing against each
other and neither would be able
to operate in the black.
Mr.. Bishop said special COM
mittee which met with the Silver
Spring Association about two years
ago to discuss such a plan has
never officially disbanded and
urged that it continue its efforts.
Supported by Lambert.
He was supported by Arthur G..
Lambert. also a former board
president, who was member of
the original committee. Mr.. Lam
bert said he had always believed
that if the merits of the proposal
could have been placed before the
people of Silver Spring. it would
have met with favorable reaction.
Instead, he said, the plan was
sidetracked by special interests"
He did not elaborate.
Neither of the two men ex-
pressed any view on the DISPOSE
ton of the present hospital build
ing if their proposal were adopted
by the Silver Spring group.
Board President Francis w. Hill,
jr., said a committee would be ap-
pointed at the boards organiza-
ton meeting April 26 to consider
reopening negotiations with Silver
Spring. Board officers also will
be elected at the meeting.
Ralph D. Boyd, president of the
Silver Spring association, when
told Of the merger proposal, in
sisted that in his opinion the two
communities "are of sufficient
population to support two hos
pitals."
Petitions Being Circulated.
He added, however, that "if such
a thing could be arranged, I can
not see any particular objection
it would be very satisfactory"
The Silver Spring Association
is circulating petitions to support
its request that the Montgomery
County Council issue 81 million in
bonds for a Silver Spring hospital.
The bonds would be paid off from
Liquor Board receipts. The as
sociation now owns a 27-acre tract
as hospital site at Forest Glen
road and Sligo Creek parkway.
Suburban Hospital board mem
bers reelected last night are:
Mr.. Hill, DR.. John G. Ball, Mrs.
William Sharon Farr, Mrs. j. Will
liam Heron, Mrs. Page Hufty,
Joseph M. Matthias, James r. Mil
Ter, c. Carroll Morgan, Robert H.
Meyers and Malcolm Scates.
