A two-year-old report on the

Brown School property to private
interests viii be restudied by the
District Commissioners.
The Commissioners discussed
the property, now used as the
Chevy Chase Community Center
at their regular board meeting to-
day. Their interest stems from
the concern shown by Chairman
Bates Of the House Appropriations
Subcommittee. in recent hearings
on the District budget.
The Kentucky Democrat quizzed
the Commissioners closely during
one session on the possibility OF
the Districts unloading the prop
lerty at substantial profit and
for the purpose Of getting it back
lon the tax rolls. The land Is in
la thriving business district at
Connecticut avenue and Mckinley

nearly two years ago in which he
recommended the sale. It Is this

LYNCHBURG. Va. Mar. as
An all-out search for clues was
under way today in an effort to
track down the slayer Of James
|E. Staples, Lynchburg taxi driver.
The head Of the 29-year-old
|cabbie was found II days ago in
IAN Amherst County farm yard.
Authorities established three days
ago that the head was definitely
that Of Mr.. Staples.
The body has not been found.
The head was punctured by Q
bullet hole between the eyes.
Even more puzzling than the
lack Of clues in the bizarre case
is the absence Of any known
motive.
Il still can't believe that its
true" Mr.. Staples wife said. IT
can't imagine who would ever
want to do thing like that to
James. He was the kindest man
who ever walked. He always had
q laugh on his lips"
Evening star., 1952-03-25

The council would have no veto
power. nor could it hold public
hearings on the proposals. but
its supporters say it would be able
to work out minor adjustments.
The period Of review would give
local residents an opportunity to
express their objections and sug-
|gestionS to their congressman
and other officials, advocates of
the bill maintain.
Work In Secret.
That legislative proposal prob
ably would not apply to the
Army's proposed expansion of its
research Office since it would not
involve a major change in land
use" planning officials say.
The work of the Army Opera
tions Research Office is classified
as secret. Its 150-man staff Of
military researchers and econo-
mists has the job of analyzing
warfare with a view to moderniz-
ing techniques and strategy.

search Office is Johns Hopkins

Committee 10 Study
Question Of District
Inyestigaiiye Staff

Ipointed a committee to recon.
mend whether the District should
have a special watchdog" in
vestigative staff whose sole func-
Ition would be to check on the
honesty and integrity Of the city
governments $4,000 employees.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue strongly supported such q
plan, but the idea did not make
ian immediate hit with Engineer
Commissioner Bernard L. Robin
son, who said he is inclined to
|go very slow" on the project.
Young Appears Dubious.
Commissioner John Russell
Young seemed dubious, but he
suggested that the committee be
appointed to study the matter and
report next Tuesday. Mr.. Donohue
had moved the board to have the
District budget officer Immediately
prepare the job classifications and
other details necessary to estab-
lish an investigatiye staff.
Commissioner Donohue argued
that it is impossible" for the city
heads to fully accept the respon-
sibility for the conduct Of many
municipal workers unless there
are investigators to keep tabs on
the workers.
Loss Of Efficiency Seen.
Gen. Robinson said that he Is
not inclined to "get hysterical
over recent developments" and
added that he would be afraid
of a 'loss of efficiency" on the
part of workers who would have
the feeling of a watchful eye be-
ing cast over them.
Commissioner Donohue re-
Joined, however, that such re-
sponsibility in the past has been
taken largely by Congress. There's
nothing Congress can do for US
that we can't do for ourselves" !"
he declared.
The preliminary study will be
made by Corporation Counsel
Vernon e. West, Budget Oficer
Walter l.. Fowler, and Geoffrey

Of uonset Hus at Research Cee ss Chevy Chase Citizens

Residents Of the Connecticut
|avenue section Of Chevy Chase,
Md. who long have waged q sue
|ceSsful battle to maintain an ex-
clusively residential community,
now have q new and mighty foe
lin the Federal Government.
The Army is considering adding
additional construction to its new
Operation Research Once at the
former Chevy Chase Junior Col
|lege. 6410 Connecticut avenue.
And it Is admitted quonset huts
have been considered.
AS has been the case in nurner-
|ouS other Federal building projects
lin the nearby Maryland and Vir-
ginia areas, local building and
coming officials have no voice in
determining what form the pro-
lposed expansion will take.
Matter of Statute and Policy.
The Federal Government has
complete authority to alter or ex-
Ipand its facilities. irrespective of
local zoning or building regula-
tions. This is true, as a matter Of
statute and policy, even though
the Government is merely leasing
the facilities, as is the case with
the Junior college property.
Residents of the neighborhood
have been concerned about the
research Office since the Army
opened it last May under q five
year lease from the National All
Club Foundation. But they have
tempered their opposition because,
they did not want to be accused Of
|hampering the defense effort.
The latest move to put quonset
huts on the grounds of the A.
Iyear-old campus, however. has
brought the opposition out in the
open.
Move to Block Plan.
Loren G. Polhamus, chairman
of the citizens committee which
governs Chevy Chase Section 4,
said the sentiment Of the commu-
nifty as expressed at the sections
tax meeting last month was over
whelmingly opposed to the quon-
set hut proposal.
If the Army makes known that
lit intends to erect temporary
structures at the college. residents
of the community will attempt to
block the plan through their Rep
|resentativeS in Congress. he said.
The residents have adopted a
wait-and-see attitude. Mr.. Pol
|hamus said, because the Army has
not officially stated that it will put
quonset or other temporary-type
buildings on the campus.
Economic Solution" Sought.
Officials of the research Office
merely have. asked the Army en-
gineers to give them an additional
10000 square feet of space for q
computing laboratory.
But a spokesman for the Army
