To Restore Kaiser's
Cancelled Contracts

The CIO United Auto Workers
Union has telegraphed Air Force
Secretary Talbot protesting the
cancellation of multi-million-
dollar aircraft contracts with the
Henry ]. Kaiser interests.
The union demanded the can
collation. be rescinded.
Detroit dispatches said it ap-
peared certain the huge Willow
Run (Mich) plant would close
indefinitely as the result of end
ing the contracts. This will
mean idleness for about 12,5OO
workers.
High Cost Charged.
One of the Cancelled contracts
called for production of 159
C-119 Flying Boxcars." Senator
Bridges, Republican, of New
Hampshire has charged that the
planes are costing the Govern
ment five times as much as the
same type of aircraft produced
by the Fairchild Engine & Air
plane Corp. at Hagerstown, Md.
In addition to the Flying Box
cars, the Kaiser interests had q
contract to build 244 C-123 as
sault transport planes.
The cancellation Of the con-
tracts came yesterday as Mr.
Kaiser and his son Edgar were
defending their production rec.
ord before a Senate Armed Serv.
ices Subcommittee.
Lower Cost Predicted.
Mr.. Kaiser said the average
cost per Clio after the Kaiser
plant produced its 8O0th plane
would be $253,O00 compared with
the Fairchild price of $265, 900
There had been testimony thai
Kaiser produced C-119's are nov
costing the Government $1,347,.
900 apiece.
The KaiSers held a news con.
ference later and said they woulc
go ahead with plans to make
the best possible use of the Viii.

derSecretary of Agriculture True
D. Morse told newsmen there is
a serious question as to whether
the department could do that. He
said such action could interfere
with price support program op-
erationS for the affected feeds.
He limited, however, that aid
might be made in the form OF
cash grants which would help
pay for feeds bought at regular
markets at prevailing prices
Likewise, financial aid might be
given in helping farmers ship
cattle to good pasture areas out
side the drought belt.
The department is counting
heavily on getting retailer help
in promoting greater consump-
ton of beef to put cattle prices
on firmer basis and encourage
normal cattle feeding operations

In winding up his seven years
service with the county-he
leaves his post Thursday-Mr.
McNayr took time out to analyze
the county's accomplishments
and shortcomings under his
leadership.
Frankly speaking" Mr.. Nc
Nayr said, "the tremendous pres
sure of citizens has forced the
county to move into many new
fields"
Furthermore he added, "the
level of services to be provided
in the future is a matter for the
people to decide"
Mr.. McNayr has a word of
warning for his successor, how
ever. Any manager who cuts
serviceS-especially the progress
sive and social services-will be
"crucif1ed" by the people, he
believes.
Progressive County.
Montgomery County is in the
forefront in this field. The
county has tax supported kinder
gartenS and Junior colleges. a
large number of health clinics,
a modern Jail where prisoners
are well fed. a countrywide Ii
brary system.
There's a new juvenile court
setup, a program of close CO.
operation with social and welfare
agencies. a merit system for en-
ployes. paid uniformed women
as school-crossing guards.
Now Montgomery is about to
embark on countrywide recre-
alton program and is preparing
to move into it's new office build
ing which will cost close to 50
million.
These programs haven't been
undertaken without opposition.

although residents complain
about the cost of government,
most of them are. proud of the
county's level of service.

Planners Turn Down
Attempts 10 Rezone
Sites at Wheaton

Three applications for COM
mercial Redistribution Of lots in
Wheaton which the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission has recon-
mended for use as a parking area
have been recommended for de-
NAL by the planning agency.
The recommendations have
been forwarded to the Mont
gomery County Council which
has final coming authority.
Two weeks ago, the commits
sion opposed several petitions for
commercial zoning Of land in
Wheaton because the properties
have been recommended for off
street parking in the agency's
coming plan for the area. Those
lots are on the north side of
Ennalls avenue.
Parking Obstacles.
The commission said approval
of the petitions would render
increasingly difficult the assem-
bly, of parking areas of adequate
size within serviceable range of
the major frontages on Georgia
avenue and the Kensington-
Wheaton road.
The lots involved in the latest
group of petitions for CONNER
cial coming in Wheaton are on
Fern and ElkinS streets near Old
Bladensburg road. All three are
now in the residential A zone
single-family detached homes i.
The three applications were
filed by Ralph G. Shure, G. T.
and Gussie P. Harrison and H.
T. Harrison & Sons.
In it's opinion, the commits
sion said:
Unless a better scheme can
be devised, we believe that adj
vance acquisition of fairly large
areas for future parking use is
the best way of insuring economy
in land purchases and is of the
greatest Importance in the grow
ing Wheaton area. An attempt
should be made to restrict I'M
necessary increases through re-
coming in the value of the le-
naming needed areas whose ac-
QUESTION will become necessary
at a later date"
Other Pleas Opposed.

commission recommended for

McNoyr in Farewell Interview Credits Citizens
With Progress in Montgomery Since 1916

Although Mr.. McNayr feels
that charter or the manager
form of government is no longer
a political issue in the county,
he believes the system will be
modified as experience reveals
weaknesses.
In answer to critics of the
Upper County subdivision regu-
lations who say living in the
county is becoming "unneces-
sarily complex" Mr.. McNayr re-
plies:
Most residents fail to recog-
nize the county has been faced
with a Federal dispersal pro-
gram which made it necessary
for the county to plan the de-
velopment of the rural area"
He feels, however, that the
county has moved to rapidly in
adopting many regulations.
He specifically believes the
County Road Code should be re-
viSed.
Among failures Of his regime,
Mr.. McNayr counts the Public
Works program and the Civil De-
tense Office. The first he attributes
to the inability of the county to
get and to hold technically
trained employees. The county has
not even been able to spend all
funds appropriated for road and
storm drainage work because of
the employe problem, he said.
The Civil Defense Office has
been o thron in his side. Last
year he recommended it be
scuttled in favor of a training
program among present county
departments.
Looking ahead, Mr.. McNayr
sees theh county entering into a
major storm drainage program,
centralizing garage services, and
taking over trash and garbage
collection.
Mr.. McNayr is looking forward
to his new post as public admin
istration consultant to the Co
lombian Government with the
Toetit,1tas of Inter-
Affairs.
