And there are other FANS some well into
their 30s and fairly well-read, who seem to
have the impression that nothing really big
in sports occurred until the 192Os, the So
called Golden Age.
Well, it amt necessarily so, as the aptly
named Sportin' Life kept telling his listeners
In "Porgy and Bess." One of the quickest
ways to lose any such notion would be to
read "The Greatest Sports Stories From the
New York Times" an anthology newly pub
hShed by A. S. Barnes and edited by the ver-
satile sports writer, Allison Danzig, and Peter
Brandwein, also member Of the Times sports

Bethesda Parking Lots Are
Still Bone of Contention"
Hearing On Veto Plea
Will Be Held In County
Building In Bethesda

The County Council on Tuesday
announced the date for a public
hearing on a request to veto the
controversial Bethesda parking
lot bill had been changed to Aug
ust 2, at 8 o'clock at the Bethesda
County Building.
Councilman Stella Werner was
rebuked by council members for
terming the recent council-passed
law SNEAK legislation" Mrs.
Werner who voted against the
bill which amended the Bethesda
parking lot program, admitted
use of the term in connection with
the measure.
Councilman Kathryn Lawlor in
dignantly told Mrs. Werner she
did not like being accused of pass
ing such legislation, and Council
man Harold Hammond asked her
why she used such a term. He
also accused Mrs. Werner of try
ing to give the impression that
I'VE were trying to pull fast
one."
Mrs. Werner replied that the
bill was passed over her objec-
tions, and said that at no time
did the Bethesda businessmen
have an opportunity to express
themselves on the amendments"
Council President J. Louis Mon
arch also questioned Mrs. Wer-
ner sharply. Councilman Grover
Walker had nothing to say. Coun-
Gilman George Nesbitt was not
present.
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr, back from his vacation,
which he spent in helping with
the remodeling of the house he
recently purchased at 229 West
Montgomery Avenue, sat in on
the meeting.
The council also heard the
heated pleas Of a group of Ken
