Holiday Week-End
Travel Heavy as
100000 Leave CITY

More than 100000 Washing
tonians, holiday-bound for the
Labor Day week end, got out of
town last night and early today
with little trouble, traffic ex-
perts said.
Spokesman for bus, air and
rail terminals said they had to
hustle from yesterday afternoon
until after dawn today handling
what was generally described as
"the usual holiday crowd"
They were unanimous in their
opinion that the outward-bound
traffic flow was the heaviest of
the year, but nothing like Labor
Day in the past.
Automobile club officials eSti-
mated some $4,000 drivers de-
parted from the city last night.
Police patroling nearby high
ways in Maryland and Virginia,
however, said traffic moved
smoothly and was a little heavier
than on an ordinary week end.
No Traffic Jams.
No major traffic jams were re-
ported.
A dispatcher at the Greyhound
bus terminal said double and in
some cases triple sections were
added on all runs. He reported
business began to pick up a few
minutes after most Offices closed
for the day and continued all
through the night.
"As soon as we got rid Of one
BUNCH" he said, another would
show up. We had our hands
full, but no jams. In most cases
the passengers were patient and
formed double lines. All in all
it was a pretty orderly opera
ton"
He estimated "a little better
than 10000 persons passed
through the terminal from 4 pm.
yesterday until Z am. this morn
ing.
Extra Sections Added.
A like number, it was esti-
mated, left by air from National
Airport.
Late last night and early today
space was still available on some
flights because extra sections
were added by all lines using the
huge airport.
Union Station appeared crowd
ed, but was not jan1med. Pas
Sengers hustled to trains, some
of which departed with empty
seats. In all, Is extra trains
were added to regular schedules
Most popular spots with de-
parting motorists, according to
the American Automobile Asso-
citation, were New England shore
resorts, the nearby Atl4ntic Coast
and the Pennsylvania mountains
The popularity list was made UP
from requests for trip informa-
ton by members, the associa-
| ton said.

Explanation Sought
In Assessments for !.
Montgomery Taxes

Delegate j. PAUL. Marshall,
Republican, of Montgomery
County, today called on the
State Tax Commission to explain
an apparent inequity in assess
ing property in his county.
Mr.. Marshall commented on
a statement made in Ocean City,
Md, last week end by Albert w.
Ward, secretary to the State
commission. Mr.. Ward said
about 80 per cent of property
now being re-assessed in Mary
land is being assessed at about
so per cent of actual sales vale.
Taxpayer groups in Montgom-
cry County have charged that
re-assessments there are being
made at so per cent or more of
sales value.
Mr.. Marshall, in a statement
from his Rehoboth, Del, vacation
spot, urged a meeting of the
county's delegation to the Legis-
lature and the County Council
with the tax commission to de-
termine Gin detail what assess
ment instructions were given to
the tax assessor in Montgomery
County"
During the 1853 Legislature,
Mr.. Marshall said he had per
sonally been assured by Deeley
K. Nice, chairman of the State
Tax Commission, and Wilton B.
Allen, tax assessor for Montgom-
cry County, that the same as
sessment procedure being used
in Montgomery County was in
effect throughout Maryland"
Mr.. Marshall added he also
was assured by George Nesbitt
president of the County Council
"that the council had gone into
the matter very carefully and
had been satisfied there was nc
inequity in the State assessment
practice"
1T is obvious now," the dele
gate declared, that the State
Tax Commission has not given
out the whole story"

Montgomery Plans
Limited Participation
In Air Raid Alert

The Maryland Civil Defense
Agency disclosed that Montgom-
cry County is the only county
that has refused to participate
fully in a Statewide practice air
raid alert during the week of
September 20.
Peter Lawson Johnston, the
agency's public information Off
Ger, in a pointed release, said the
county has declined to comply
with the States request for full
participation.
The practice alert. named
Operation Checkup," is de-
signed to educate the public on
what it should do when the red
warning alert of an imminent
air attack is sounded.
According to the State agency
the county has agreed to sound
some so sirens during the trial
alert but has declined to 60 along
with the plan to stop all traffic
and require people to take cover
Fears Traffic BedIam.
Montgomery Public Safety Di-
rector Arthur E. Miller, in
charge of the county's civil de-
fense paper setup," yesterday
said the county council decided
several weeks ago to participate
in the alert only on the limited
basis. Mr.. Miller added he had
been informed that several coun-
ties would not stop traffic dur
ing the three minute alert and
the three-minute simulated ,.at-
tack.
Mr.. Miller said the Districts
CD. director, John E. Fondaill,
had informed Maryland officials
that Washington would not par.
ticipate in the alert. For this
reason, the Montgomery director
added, he could see only confu-
sion and criticism if MCntgom-
cry County stopped traffic at the
District line during the test. ].
"And there's the matter of in
terState buses and trucks" he
said. IF we cause some people
to miss train or plane schedules
it seems to me we would be SUBJ
ject to a lot of criticism fol
something which we could not
fully justify.
He has asked the police and
fire departments to send such
equipment as they can safely
spare to designated locations
and sound their sirens during
the test. The county has not
erected "a afraid sirens which
are on hand, he said.
Prince Georges to Act.
The Prince Georges civil de-
fense director, however, yester-
day announced the county would
participate fully and all drivers
would be required to pull to the
side during the simulated raid.
The county council minutes
of August II reveal that, in
closed session, the councilmen
had agreed to participate in the
civil defense raid. The minutes
gave no explanation of extent
of participation.
According to Prince Georges
County, Operation Checkup is
set for 2:01 pm. September o.
Montgomery and State civil
defense officials have disagreed
on q number of occasions on the
type of program to be set up.
Last year Montgomery appro-
priated $4,000 for it's CD pro-
gram and some unspent funds
were carried over into this years
budget but no new appropria-
ton was made.

Double Shifts
Facing Schools
In Montgomery
About 200 to Be
Affected in Opening
Weeks, Norris Says

About 1900 children will be
on double shifts during the
opening weeks of school in Mont
gomery County, according to DR..
Forbes H. Norris, county school
superintendent.
The overcrowding anticipated
was disclosed yesterday by the
new schools superintendent. He
earlier had reported no double
shifts were in sight this Fall.
The situation will be only
temporary.
Most Of the schools where
double shifts are anticipated will
get relief by October / to Oc-
tober Is, DR.. Norris said, as addi-
tions and new schools are COM
pleted and made ready for. oc-
cupancy.
The chief cause of the heavy
load Of double shifts is an un-
expected delay in the compile
tton of buildings, DR.. Norris said.
Earlier Optimism Explained.
The schools superintendent
who took over his post last Au-
gust attributed the optimism
of his earlier report of no double
shifts to the normal confusion
Of a new man coming in to head
the county system.
Well over 600 students are
expected to be on double shifts
for at least the first semester
and perhaps longer. In nearly
all cases, DR.. Norris said, the
children affected will be in the
first, second and third grades
The most serious situation is
Lone Oak Elementary, near
Rockville, where some 500 pupils
in the first five grades are ex-
pected to be on half day shifts
probably until January or
later. A new addition under
construction there will not be
completed for several months,
DR.. Norris said.
Some 1870 pupils in the first
and second grades at Bradley
Hills Elementary probably will
be on double shifts the entire
year. A new addition Is not yet
under way.
Some 100 first, second and
third graders at Rock Greek
Forest and some $50 pupils at
Woodside Elementary, both in
Silver Spring, are expected to
get on a normal full day sched-
ule on about October l with the
opening of a new addition at
the former school.
The Rolling Terrace School,
also in the eastern suburban dis
trict, has some 100 first and
second graders on half day
shifts until October /, when the
new Highland View Elementary
will be ready for occupancy.
Other Schools Affected.
Other schools where over
crowding is anticipated include
Twin Brook, Rockville. first
second and third grades, about
$50 pupils until after October /
McKenny Hills, Silver Spring
area, first, second and third
grades, about 180 pupils until
after October Is.
Oakview, Silver Spring area
first and second grades, 17(
pupils until after october /.
Rollingwood, Chevy Chase area
lower grades, about 120 pupils
until after october /.
WeStbrook, in, the Massachu-
sets avenue extended area, first
second and third grades, 12(
pupils after october /.
The overcrowding situation ir
Montgomery County is much
worse than that reported wher
school opened last fall. Their
only about TOO pupils were or
double shifts.
