Protest Is Due
On Extension
Of Route 240
Chevy Chase Group
Expected to Urge
Move by Planners

A Chevy Chase citizens group
is expected today to urge Mary
land planners to block the pro-
posed extension of Route 240
through areas Of Rock Creek
Park near the District line.
The session, where fireworks
may break loose, was called by
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
to hear complaints from the
citizens. Headed by former Sen
ator Gerald P. Nye. they have
formed an Action Committee for
Fair Road Planning.
Robert M. Watkins, commits
sion chairman. said the Nye
group requested the conference.
It will be held at 3 pm. in the
hearing room Of the Silver
Spring Liquor Dispensary Build
ing.
Oppose Park Plan.
The citizens group is strongly
opposing any proposal which
would bring the limited-accesS
Route 240 through park areas
from point near Wisconsin ave-
nue. to the East-West highway
near Beach drive.
Two main routes are under
consideration. One would follow
the park valley. The other
would leave the park a short
distance from Wisconsin avenue,
cut across open country in North
Chevy Chase and re-enter the
park near East-West highway.
Actually, neither route has
been decided finally by the State
Roads Commission, although en-
gineers are known to favor the
So-called alternate B" route
that which cuts across country
through the Chevy Chase area.
Commission Omits View.
Also the MNCPPC has ap-
proved neither route, although
some members strongly favor the
"B" proposal. The commission
purposely left the southeast leg
of 240 off its master plan for the
area, approved recently. The
commission, however, long has
favored using an east-west strip
of the park for the proposed in
tercounty belt highway.
Proponents of the alternate
B" proposal contend it Is six
tenths of a mile shorter than the
other proposal, and that con-
struction would be 50 million
cheaper.

2Conventions Seen
Like|yin Ar|ingtonfo'
School Board Seats
By Tom Burke

Organized opposition to the
Arlington School Board Nomi-
mating Convention which will
select two candidates for the
board appeared likely today with
prospects that a rival nominat-
ing convention will be held.
Revival Of the Arlington Inde-
pendent Movement was discussed
by two leaders of the organiza- =
tion which last year succeeded
in electing three candidates to
the Arlington County Board.
Their remarks were prompted
by action taken last night by the
School Board Nominating Con-
ference, planning group for the
convention. The conference
termed a dispute between county
businessmen and the conference
over representation at the con-
vention "a closed issue"
Proposal Is Rejected.
Conference Chairman William
G. Watt reported that the busi-
ness groups had rejected a pro-
posal that countrywide orgarli-
cations be given double repre-
sentation in the convention. The
proposal would have given the
Chamber of Commerce 30 dele.
gates instead of Is.
A chamber spokesman who
declined to be identified said
1t appears certain that there
will be opposition to the candi-
dates offered by the nominating
convention" He said revival Of
the AIM organization on a
broader citizen participation
basis" would probably result
from the impasse between busi-
nessmen and the conference.
An officer of last years AIM
organization agreed that a meet
ing of the groups leaders "prob-
ably will be called" He said
he felt many people would be
disappointed if no opposition
is offered to the convention can
didates."
Two Terms to Expire.
The chamber official said the
Organized Women Voters, the
Arlington Federation Of Wom-
ems Clubs, the Northern Vir-
ginia Builders Association. the
Arlington Medical Society. the
Northern Virginia Dental So
ciety and the Junior Chamber
of Commerce have declined to
participate in the convention
to be held July 81 and % at
Washington-Lee High School.
Terms Of two school board
members, Curtis E. Cuthill and

Their successors will be chosen

JET Crash .Stirs
New Fight on

FuIIon Asks Action
By Eisenhower on
Proposal for Base

The controversy. over civilian
use of Andrews Air Force Base
intensified today as an after
math Of a jet fighter crash near
the Forestville. Md, school Tues
day.
Representative Fallon, Demo-
crat. of Maryland, wrote Presi-.
dent Eisenhower that the ac-
cident "is a calamitous example
why civilian and military flying
should not be mixed"
Crash Of the F-86D fighter
killed it's pilot, Capt. Francis T.
Evans, 81, of 1101 Barnaby ter
race Sc.
Sees Danger Increased.
ITO convert Andrews to civilian
use would bring hundreds of
more people into this area every
hour of the day, which, together
with the CAA (Civil Aeronautics
ADMINISTRATOR estimated $4,000
extra plane movements per
month, would not only be costly
but extremely hazardous to the
lives Of the people residing in
this vicinity" Mr.. Fallon wrote.
Gov. McKeldin and the Mary
land delegation in Congress
have opposed Joint military
civilian use of Andrews to re-
lieve air traffic congestion at the
National Airport. Maryland Of
f1cials have supported use of
Friendship Airport near Balti-
more as an alternative.
Currently the citizens of the
Andrews area are aroused over
the proposed civilian use of the
base and rightly so in view of
the near tragedy endangering
the lives of their children" Mr..
Fallon wrote. II urge that
some assurance be given these
people immediately"
Fred Spinks, president of the
Forestville Citizens Association,
said officers of his group will ask
Andrews officials to change the
base flight pattern to avoid fly
ING near the school.
He said the request will be
made some time before school
reopens in the fall.
Hydraulic Failure Cited.
1--WE think that Andrews has
a pretty good record" MIR.
Spinks said. 1--WE know that the
people over there are fine peo-
pie and are trying their best
to keep up good safety record.
We really can't find too much
falt. However, in view of Tues
days tragedy. we are going to
ask the commanding officer to
try to arrange flights so that
they will be away from the
school,"
Andrews officials said that
failure of the planes hydraulic
system apparently was respon-
sible for the crash. A board Of
inquiry will meet next week to
consider evidence gathered by
investigators and try to set a
definite cause for the accident.

Bread Winners Heart Tires,
But Your Heart Can 7 axe Over

Until three weeks ago, Mr..
Turner got along. He pushed
his cab Is hours a day. He was
able to keep his seven children
fed and clothed.
When his 8-year-old, Chuck,
was hit by a>car last year. Mr..
Turner was able to pay hospital
and doctors bills. He pushed his
cab 18 hours a day then.
Three weeks ago, the clinic
doctor told him to rest. Not
just take it easy. "Rest. Don't
move. Don't do anything" Mr..
Turner had been pushing his
heart too far. It was failing him.
But when you have to feed
nine mouths, you do something.
If you're a cab driver, you drive
your cab.
Mr.. Turner drives only about
six hours a day now. At night,
to avoid traffic. That nets him
$25 or $26 a week.
His five rooms over q second
hand store cost him $37.85 a
month rent. The rest must feed
nine persons and a dog. The dog
is not a luxury. He's needed to
fight the huge rats that live in
the building.
The kids are surprisingly healthy
and happy. Nine-year-old David
is a golden glove boxing champ
in his weight class. With his
brothers, he plays baseball at q
nearby neighborhood house.
Aside from that, there is no place
for the kids to play. They can't
play on, or near, the streets-a
four-inch scar on Chuck's skull
has taught them that.
Four of the children have been
selected to go to camp this sum-
mer-if you contribute to The
Stars Camp Fund.
Four children away, well-fed,
playing under supervision in the
fresh air would be a wonderful
help to the Turner family-the
kids who go. the kids who stay
and the parents.
The following contributions
are acknowledged today:

CHINESE ARTIST GIVES UNUSUAL PROGRAM

Seward citizens were privi legged on November IS to hear MT. Yi-KWei SZe, Chinese basso, and his wife, who accompanied him. MT Sze displayed a rich, full voice, which seemed all the more so since one does not usual ly associate a voice of this type with person of MT. Sze's na- tionality, according to some listeners.
 Perhaps the only criticism to make of the concert was that the program was little on the heavy side; however, that is purely a matter of personal taste and in no way detracts from MT. Sze's talents as perform CT. An unusual note on the pro gram was group of Chinese songs, which were beautifully done by the artist and well re- ccived by the audience.
 A reception followed the con cert with Beta Sigma Phi soror- ity members as hostesses.

Local Flyer Escapes Crock-up Thursdoy

Don Lowell, young local flyer, escaped injury Thursday after noon, but scared half the Sew ard residents out of a years growth.
 The story as told here is that Lowell, when preparing to land, discovered that one of his skis had come loose and he could not come down. He buzzed the town to attract attention to his plight. People went to the airport in cars, trucks, and even the ambu- lance was ready in case it was needed.
 After flying around a while, Lowell was able to reach out the door, grasp the swinging cable and pull the loose ski back into place. Everybody on the ground drew a sigh of relief and went home.
