Price Control
Officer Cites
OPS Rules

If you happen to own an auto
mobile which is 25 years old or
over, and are lucky enough to have
a buyer for it, you don't have to
worry about ceiling prices. This
welcome news for jalopy-owners
comes directly from the Office of
Price Sterilization, which has re-
moved antique" automobiles from
price control. Also removed from
the list are articles of personal use
handled by the Salvation Army. In
other words, last week there may
have been ceiling on that used
sofa, but this week it's right back
on the floor again, with all re-
strictions on prices removed, that
is, if it is a Salvation Army or
Goodwill Industry item.
However, businessmen who sell
services to the public are not so
fortunate. These include paper
hangers, dry cleaners, television
and refrigeration service dealers,
automobile repair shops, funeral
directors and many others. These
businessmen must file statement
with the local OPS Office showing
highest prices they sold or offered
for these services during the base
period which ran from December
10, 1850 TO January 10, 1851.
Hugo K. Hoffman,, Maryland
District Director for the OPS, also
has a word Of advice for those who
operate soda fountains and for 9TH
ers who dispense food or beverages
on the premises. He points out
that under OPS regulation, pro-
prietors Of such establishments
are required by law to file a re-
port on the total amount of sales
and the total amount of food costs
with the Maryland District Office
They must also file a report Of The
base period Of their selection, anC
cost percentage report.

Council Appoints
Mr.. McCIenOn TO
Tax Appeal Court

Walter H. McClenon of Takoma
Park, has been appointed chair
man of the County Tax Appeal
Court, according to an announce
ment made by the County Coun-
Gil at it's meeting on Tuesday. Mr..
McClenon, whose appointment VII
become effective September l, will
fill a vacancy on the Court created
by the resignation of Leo Bender,
attorney.
Mr.. McClenon is best known in
he county for his long service in
the Montgomery County Civic
Federation, of which he is now
president. For many years he
served as legislative chairman, and
later, as vice president of that or
ganization. He retired in May of
his year, after seven and one-half
years of service as codifcation ex-
pert on the staff of the Joint
Committee on Internal Revenue
Taxation. He is an inactive mem
Der of the State Bar of California
and member of the Bar of the
Supreme Court of the United
States. He has also served as a
member of the Town Council of
Takoma Park since 1948.
In another action, the Council
authorized the purchase of land in
Silver Spring for a county road
equipment depot. The tract is To-
Gated on the old Brookeville-Ten-
leytown Road, adjoining the prop
erty of Radio Station VOL near
Rock Creek Park.
According to Councilman Har-
old Hammond, the need for such
depot has existed for several
years. Equipment has been kept
at the animal shelter, and on the
parking lot at Fenton Street in
Silver Spring. This has made It
impossible to put up buildings for
repairing equipment, which has
deteriorated more rapidly by re-
naming outdoors. 1t has also
meant that the county has been
unable to stockpile crushed stone
and other supplies. Mr.. Hammond
estimated that approximately $500
a month has been saved through
conservation since the Gathers
burg shelters were constructed.
The zoning ordinance was
amended by the council in order to
permit temporary use of vacant
land in residential communities for
commercial baseball driving cour-
ses, Miniature golf ranges, golf
driving, skeet shooting and rifle
are already permitted.
The Council approved the fol-
lowing appointments:
Raymond Joseph Dougherty
az. of 4201 Massachusetts, Avenue,

trates. They are: John Sanders

MINING CLAIMS ARE FILED ON ANCHORAGE MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

ANCHORAGE, (R - Mining claims filed last February on Merrill Field are invalid, in the opinion of Regional Administrator Lowell M.. Puckett of the Bureau of Land Management.
 Merrill is this city's civilian airport. Puckett set forth his op- inion in the controversy yester- day.
 The claims, covering approxi- mately 14O acres of the airfield, were filed by Albert M., Betty Jane and Lawrence Lindemuth, and Hewitt Lounsberry, all of Anchorage.
 Puckett said the airport leas- ing act of 1928, under which the city of Anchorage holds lease to the airfield until May, 1852, pre- vents legal filing of any conflict ing claim or application for land leased or applied for under the act.
 Lindemuth acknowledged he had received letter from Puckett advising that the claim was in- valid. However, he said, "To us, nothing has happened. We knew the city held that lease when we filed the claims" He indicated his group probably would begin gravel recovery operations this summer, as originally planned, on a portion of the land away from the landing strip.
