It's almost more than WASH
ington can believe, but mil
lionaire Secretary of Defense
Charles Erwin Wilson was
mistaken for a beggar a few
months ago!
The man who sold 1000
shares of General Motors stock
for over $2.5 million before
Joining the Eisenhower cabinet
received a contribution from a
kind-hearted stranger on the
street in Detroit. The latter
didn't know he was tipping the
president of G. M. He may
have even had tears in his
eyes!
Secretary Wilson told this
story on himself the other day
as he chuckled over the Grid
iron Clubs recent take-off Of
him singing Brother, Can
You Spare q Dime?"-a par
ody, of course, on his reputed
loss of 100000 in the stock
sale.
Before coming to Washing
ton, he said, he injured his leg
and was hospitalized in De-
troit. Finally discharged, he
could get about all right but
only on crutches. One warmish
day, he was hobbling down
Detroit street when it became
so hot he took his hat of. He
was carrying it in his right
hand while still holding on to
the crutch when the stranger
came up, dropped a quarter in
his hat and walked off! :. If
things get as tough as the
Democrats predict, at least
c. E. Wilson will know how he
can pick up some change.

President Eisenhower plain
ly states, flashing his famous
grin, that he has never eaten
a steak as good as those he
cooks himself. At a dinner
the other evening, he described
in detail the unbeatable Eisen-
hover recipe for charcoaling a
sirloin. Here it is:
First of all, the Chief doesn't
like indoor cooking so the fol-
lowing takes place under a blue
sky. not in glistening White
House kitchens. To begin with.
you get your Goals good and
hot, in fact red hot, then you
take a 3-inch sirloin, and it
must be a sirloin, said Ike.
Next, you rub it with garlic
powder and sprinkle it with
salt and freshly ground pep
per. Then you drop it right
on the red hot Goals. Didn't
he use a CRATE?
mo, no." he replied, II just
drop it right on"
You leave it for 10 minutes
then you turn it over. It takes
about Is minutes in all for
a 3-inch steak, according to
the Nations boss.
"Then I take it up and brush
it off," said the worlds most
famous steak cook with a
smile. To serve it, he cuts it
in thin slices about 12-inch
thick, then he adds his own
special brand of sauce. He
makes it from the juice of
roast beef, butter, lemon juice
and Worcestershire sauce. q.
You may we'll drool over this
in your dreams because your
chances of having the Presi-
dent of the United States cook
for you are pretty slim.

More than 100000 board feet of

Police, Fire
Survey Set

A survey of the county's police
and fire protection needs for the
next 10 to Is years is expected
to be launched here shortly by the
Department of Public Safety.
Agreement to ask for the survey
and recommendations of the de-
partment was reached by the Coun-
ty Council Tuesday after hearing
a plea by the Wheaton Chamber
of Commerce for a police station
in the Wheaton area.
Tom Amatucci, jr., president of
the Wheaton business group and
John R. Pendleton, chairman cf
the Chambers committee to study
police protection needs, pointed
out that the Silver Spring station
now provides protection for IS
square miles of the county's area
and that better control would be
effected in the Wheaton area if a
substation should be located there.
Mr.. Amatucci said the station
in Silver Spring is inadequate and
is cramped and contested.
While the Wheaton group pre-
sented only the need for a police
station, Council President George
Nesbitt suggested the Department
of Public Safety include fire pro-
lection needs in its study.
The survey is expected to re-
quire three months for completion
and should be available about the
time the current economic survey
of the county is presented to the
Council.
In other business Tuesday, the
Council said it would give serious
consideration to an offer made by
the Experimentation Capital
Park and Planning Commission to
sell the Silver Spring Armory lot
to the county for 100000.
The offer to sell the 10, came
in the form of letter from the
Commission to the Council. The

Wheaton Citizens
Hear Recreation
Center Plans

The Wheaton Citizens Associa-
ton received welcome news at it's
June meeting last week, when
John BARLEY, the associations
chairman of the Education and
Recreation Committee, told the
group of plans for remodeling the
barn at the Wheaton Recreation
Center.
The Recreation Center, pur-
chased in 1850 by Park and Plan
ming, was the former Warner E.
Humphrey estate, and has on the
% acres a four-room and a low.
rather elaborate horse barn, with
covered dirt track. Picnic tables.
benches, some play equipment and
large open fire place could be
used by picnickers, and the house
was used to some extent for meet
ings. One year kindergarten
classes from Highland School were
held there.
The barn has been of no prac-
teal use because of it's cut up
interior and because there was no
heating facility.
According to Mr.. BARLEY, pre-
liminary plans for the barn show
community room approximately A
by 80 fet; two toilet rooms; a
heater room; light duty kitchen
equipped with sink, refrigerator
and stove; and concreting of the
present roof over dirt track.
Other improvements planned in
clude asphalt tile flooring; a drink
ing fountain; low brick wall
around the outside, replacing the
present higher wooden wall; new
lighting; pine paneling to match
that already in one small room;
and removal of some of the shrub

An appeal for funds was an
nounced by the Red Cross today
to meet the heavy financial respon-
sibilities that must be assumed. as
a result of the recent series of ma
tionwide disasters.
In making this announcement E.
Roland Hartman, President of
American National Red Cross,
said: "The last two months have
been among the most destructive
and costly in Red Cross disaster
experience. Since April 10, there
have been IA major disaster opera
tons. Emergency relief and re-
Mobilization so far provided for the
victims has virtually wiped out our
entire disaster budget for the cur
rent fiscal year.
"Thus, additional funds will be
required to meet the needs created
these last few days by foods in
Iowa and vicious tornadoes in
Michigan, Ohio, New Hampshire,
and Massachusetts. Rehabilitation
costs for all recent disasters will
carry over into the next fiscal yeai
They will be very heavy-sc we
still need the full support of the
American people to help those VINO
have suffered personal loss in these
catastrophies to help themselves"
The Red Cross has made an in
itial allotment of 100000 to nee.
emergency needs of victims of
these latest disasters. This brought
to total of $3,823, 668 the amount

Zone Law
Is Ready
For Study
Planning Commission
Discussing New Zone
Regulations with 10
Advisory Committees

The ten election district advisory
committees to the Upper Mont
gomery County Planning Commits
sion are scheduled to discuss, dur
ing the month of June, the latest
draft of proposed temporary
coming ordinance for the upper
county.
Thomas C. Kelley, chairman of
the upper county commission, says
that the need for protective coming
in the upper county is becoming
more and more apparent.
Fright now, said Mr.. Kelley,
''the farmer, the businessman and
the homeoWner have no protection
against intrusions that can do
great harm to the value of their
property and the beauty of their
home sites.
"The Upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission, Mr.. Kelley
went on, "is charged with the re-
sponsibility, among others, of pre-
pairing a comprehensive coming
ordinance. Such an ordinance,
however, must be in accordance
with an overall plan which is de-
signed to ensure the harmonious
development of the upper county.
But the studies necessary to pro-
duce such a plan take time; and
it is apparent that the purpose of
our planning and coming program
will be defeated if, pending the
plan, our farm and residential
roadsides are despoiled with bill
boards, junk yards, beer halls and
other commercial uses which we
all recognize as injurious to agri-
cultural and residential areas.
"A temporary coming ordinance
certainly will not solve all the de-
velopment problems of the upper
county," Mr.. Kelley continued,
but it can provide a degree of
guidance and control that is
needed while the development
plans and the comprehensive zon-
ing ordinance are being prepared"
Mr.. Kelley stressed three points:
O That the proposed temporary
coming ordinance for the upper
county will not apply to any of the
Incorporated towns in the area; ~
that it will allow for commercial
growth within and adjacent to
existing commercial areas; and (3)
that the proposed temporary zon-
ing ordinance would automatically
