End Of Veterans
Housing Project
Asked by Group
Park Commissioners
Urge Montgomery
To Remove 167 Units

The move to end the veterans
housing project in Montgomery
County gained momentum today
as the Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion Joined with the county real
estate board in urging the county
council to discontinue it's largest
project.
The commissioners, in a letter
to the county council, today said
it felt the housing shortage in
Montgomery "has been somewhat
abated" since the project was au-
thorized shortly after the end of
World War II.
The commission asked the
council to remove some 167 units
in the project for veterans, To-
Gated in Sligo Creek Park, be-
tween Forest Glen road and Dali
las avenue. The commission
asked that the removal be COM
pleted by October, 1853.
Caught in Middle.
The county has been operating
the Sligo Creek Park units for
white veterans and eight other
units for Negroes at Lyttonsville
near Silver Spring.
The veterans housing project
has been caught in the middle of
the impending battle over rent
control extension in Montgomery
County. The county real estate
board last June wrote the council
urging discontinuance of the prof.
ect on the grounds that there is
no shortage of low-cost housing.
The charge made by the real
estate board brought a quick de-
nial from the county housing au-
thority, which suggested that the
board come up with some hard
facts concerning the availability
of loW-cost housing.
The commission today said it
needed the area occupied by the
project for development as a park
with recreational facilities. BY
next year the commission indi-
Gated it will have plans and funds
available for the park develop
ment program.
Requests for Development.
The commission said it had
received many requests for the
development of this area. It
asked the county to restore the
area to its original condition.
The commission suggested that
the council not accept new
tenants for any of the units va
Gated during the next several
months. It urged that the build
ings be removed as they are
vacated.
Carl A. Krogmann, chief of the
county building division, today
said all public housing units op-
Grated by the county are rented
to veterans. He said the rents for
the utility apartments and one
and two bedroom apartments
range between $29.50 and $50 a
month based on the salaries and
the number of dependents of the
occupants.
Mr.. Krogmann added that no
veteran is admitted to the project
unless he is nearly destitute or
dispoSseSsed." He said veterans
who show real need for low-cost
housing are those whose applica-
tions are accepted.

Mr.. Mintiens denied that there
had been no advance notice. He
said the State agency was called
upon April 18 by Montgomery
County athorities to conduct a
traffic survey at the circle. On
May Is, the recommendation to
ban parking altogether officially
was approved by the commission
The signs were in place by
June 27, when Mr.. Mintiens met
at the scene with both District
and Maryland authorities. includ-
ing Capt. Thompson, he said.
Mr.. Mintiens said the parking
ban was for benefit of those go.
ing to church there.
"The average motorist is con-
fused when he comes to a circle
and parked cars only confuse
him further" the State engineer
asserted.
A spokesman for the District
Traffic Department took the stanc
that parking privileges Shoulc
continue on Sundays.
Big Demand for Parking.
eve don't feel the restriction is
necessary and that it would in
convenience people attending the
large churches there" said John
H. Milton, traffic engineer. There
is a great demand for parking
and not too great an amount of
traffic at that time"
Sunday morning parking for
church-bound citizens has been
allowed at the circle "at least
since 1941," Mr.. Milton said. 1t
will continue, he added, unless
the traffic increases" to an extent
a change will be necessary.
The District, Mr.. Mitten said,
allows parking around the inside
of the circle in all of the area in
side the District. Parking also is
allowed around part of the out
side of the circle as we'll. Mary
land bans parking on both sides.
Arthur G. Lambert, chairman OF
the Board of Managers of Chevy
Chase Village, said his group does
not plan to appeal to the State
Roads Commission unless re-
quested to do so by the citizenry.
Mr.. Lambert, who lives at Z
Grafton street, only few doors
from one of the churches, said he
personally would be inclined to
go along with the people" and
allow parking. But, he added,
final authority is up to the State
Roads Commission. The village
board, he said, would serve only
in an advisory capacity.

NewLanguage Studies
For Lower Grades
Will Be Simp|ified

New foreign language courses
opening in the District elementary
schools next semester will teach
the children simple. everyday ex-
pressions and the words for every
day objects.
School officials are going ahead
with plans to institute the courses
in French, German and Spanish
when school opens next month.
The Board of Education ap-
proved the new courses last May.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
outlined the project completely at
that time, promising it would not
interfere with the regular school
studies.
Plan Outlined.
Under the plan, children will
be taught languages at any time
curing their schooling that a
teacher is available. Not all
teachers are qualified to give
language instruction, but enough
are, qualified to allow the courses
to begin in most of the grade
schools.
In kindergarten, for instance,
the children will learn only a few
foreign expressions such as hello,
good-by, please and thank you.
AS they progress through the
grades, the vocabulary will be in
creased.
All the language instruction will
be oral. If a child does not get
instruction one year, nothing will
be, lost.
Corning Optimistic.
DR.. Corning commented:
This project should provide not
only a valuable means of enrich
ing the daily program Of children
in the elementary schools, but
should also help to create that
interest in and understanding Of
and good will toward other peo-
piles of the world whose language
they are exploring, which is es-
sential to the peace of the world. !"
It will not be the first time for
Ieign languages have been taught
in the elementary schools here.
For a number Of years. three or
four grade schools have conducted
foreign language studies on an
experimental basis.
AS a result of the success of these
experiments, school officials de-
cided to expand the studies to as
many Of the elementary schools
las possible.
