Maryland Firm Takes
Tools From Yard as
Grandmother Yields
BY the Assoeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Aug. 19.-The
Battle Of Bear Creek ended
abruptly yesterday.
A construction firm began re-
moving its equipment from the
property of a scrappy, 57-year-
old grandmother who had i'm
pounded it.
The battle started six months
ago when the Leo Butler Co. Of
College Park, working on a So
million sewer project nearby.
parked $4,000 worth of equip
ment and supplies in Mrs. Wanda
Sienkielewski's front yard.
It developed last week when
Mrs. Sienkielewski, wearying over
fruitless lickering about terms,
fenced the equipment in with
chicken wire and stood guard
over it with a 30 rifle.
But after a peace parley be-
tween Mrs. Sienkielewski's at
torney and company representa-
tives yesterday her lawyer issued
a statement saying she has
granted permission to the But
Ter Co. to enter her property and
remove all equipment. :"
"She comedies none of her
legal privileges" the statement
added.
The company side was less for
NAL but to the point.
1--WE didn't pay her anything" F"
said Richard Searles, vice presi-
dent of the Butler firm.
He added that "she finally
realizes she is liable for dam
ages" in impounding the equip
ment and Said his lawyers were
ready to institute court action
against her.

Kinder's Term Cut
To Years in KiIIinq;
10th Leaves for u. ).
By the Assoeinied Pres,

SEOUL, Aug. 19.-The COM
mander of the United States 5th
Air Force today cut down the
sentence of Airman First Glass
Thomas L. Kinder of Cleveland,
Tenn, from life Imprisonment
to two years for the murder of
a South Korean civilian last fall.
Airman Kinder's dishonorable
discharge from the Air Force
also was suspended by 1t. Gen.
Samuel Anderson. The case now
will go to higher headquarters
in Washington for further re-
view.
The review could cut the
sentence even more, but could
not raise it above the two years
recommended by 5th Air Force
reviewing officers.
To Return to u. S.
Airman Kinder will be re-
turned to the United States,
where Air Force Headquarters
will decide on the jail where he
will serve his sentence. The Air
Force did not disclose when he
will leave.
Airman Kinder was sentenced
at Taegu on July Is after court
martial found him guilty of
premediated murder and con-
spiracy to commit murder in the
fatal shooting of Bong Soon Kill
last fall.
Two other men were involved
in the incident at an Air Force
base near Pusan.
1t. George Schreiber of Holly
wood. ILL.,, was convicted and
sentenced to life imprisonment
last Monday on the same charges
as Airman Kinder. His case
also is up for review.

Special Education Glasses
Mrs. TannhauserPTA Topic

Teaching children the things they
In ed to know at their level of un-
Outstanding is the aim of tina
special education classes in the
county, according to Mrs. Miriam
Tannhauser, Supervisor of Special
Education Glasses in Montgomery
County. Speaking before the Rock
vile Elementary P-TA on April IA,
Mrs. Tannhauser explained that
TIE children in special classes can
be good citizens if they are trained
carefully and adequately. If not,
we will be supporting them in later
life.
The tragedy for these special
children is that they are rejected
by those who do not understand
them or their problems. 1t is the
responsibility of individuals to be
well informed. With knowledge
comes understanding and accept
ance. Once people realize that
these children's minds do not keep
pace with their physical growth the
problem simplifies. Johnny may
be eight years old physically but
when we know he's four mentally,
we learn to teach him at the four
year level and to expect four-year-
old behaviour from him.
Each year in Montgomery
County schools the first, third, and
sixth grades are given group in
telligence tests. Teachers check
the results and compare them with
their Civilizations. When they dis
cover a disparity in tests results
n d their Civilizations, further
studies follow. Children mentally

BY L. X. Stablcr

Only a relative handful of the
thousands who today make Silver
Spring their home know that a few
decades ago it was nothing more
than "a place at the side of the
road"
The road, now Georgia Avenue,
was then the Seventh Street Pike
dusty or muddy, depending on the
weather. Along its grassy center
ran a single trolley track--the line
from Washington Forest Glen.
The place that was Silver Spring
consisted of the B&O station, half a
dozen homes scattered over a half
mile radius, and a rambling struc-
ture near the station, just back Of
where Malonay's farm equipment
and supply store now stands.
That old frame building -- it
looked old even then - was the
earlier day counterpart of the
modern shopping center. 1t housed
a grocery store, a farm implement
store, the Silver Spring Post Office
and the real estate and insurance
office Of Frank l.. Hewitt.

establishments are still operated by

Such Step
Allied Civic Group
Asks Action on Rate
Increases at Secret
Commission Meeting

The County Council may ask
the Maryland Public Service Com
mission to investigate the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
missions recent rate increases.
At Tuesdays session, the Coun-
ell asked County Attorney David
Macdonald to see whether the law
setting up the PSC would apply
in the case of the most recent rate
hikes.
The action followed a telephoned
request of Willard Morris, presi-
dent of the Allied Civic Group of
Silver Spring that the county take
lction to have the need for a rate
hike Investigated.
Morris, and other phone callers,
apparently based their request on
4 provision of the law establishing
the PSC. This law provides that
the service commission may in
vestigate the need for water rate
increases, and, further, that they
must act on a request by a county
government.
The doubt in the applicability Of
the law in the case of the Sanitary
Commissions hike, however, arises
from the commissions setting
what it calls Sewer usage
charge" computed on the basis of
Ia cents for each 1000 gallons of
water consumed. Whether this
,harge falls into the water rate
category will probably take legal
uling from some state or court
official.

and one may visit one or more
houses or all those opened for the
day.
Tickets will be on sale at each
houae by members of the Garden
Club. Countrywide tickets will be
$500. Any one house may be
visited for one dollar.
The tour as a whole will give
visitors a fine cross section view
of county architecture - FIR m
quaint cottage to sturdy manor
house. A visit to Hereford breed
ing farm is included, since this has
always been essentially an agricul-
tural and dairying county.
Only a few homes in this county
remain in the possession of original

humble beginnings as log cabins or
