area will be opened for develop
ment, not five or ten miles away
from the Wheaton shopping area
but adjacent to it. Not hundreds,
but thousands of homes are des-
tined to 60 up in that area. 1t
may be noted that Rockville has
had a department store of moder-
ate size for many years, although
it's population was less than
10000.
My quarrel lies less with what
1 believe is the Commissions bad
logic than with the philosophy of
it's approach. 1t is the type of
monopoly-thinking that was Prev
alent in the motion picture indus
try for many years. When the
city officials and Chamber of
Commerce of Kansas City, Kan
sas, complained that the city's
theatres were never given pic
lures until they had already
played in Kansas City, Missouri,
the motion picture distributors
with vested financial interests in
theatres in the latter city, replied
that it was but right that these
theatres should be protected from
competition from Kansas City,
Kansas, theatres since the former
drew patrons from the latter city.
The impulse to write this let
ter comes from the similarity of
the approach of the Commission
to that of the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission when
we tried to get sewers in the Ar
cola area of Wheaton. The Park
& Planning Commission might
well find a better example to fol
low.

succeed; however, if you would
want to go into the rug cleaning
business -.
This is far cry from our sys-
tenn of free enterprise, and as
close as one is likely to come to
that favorite punching bag $50
cialism". If we have given this
power to the Commission, a re-
consideration of its powers might
well be warranted. "
Note that the Commission
would substitute its judgment of
the possible success of a depart
ment store for that of a depart
ment store owner, however eX-
perienced it or he might be. Our
national policy as expressed in
our antitrust laws is that bust
ness men shall have the right to
carry on a business free of arti-
fetal restraints and monopolies.
And basic to the exercise of that
right is the right to try and fail,
which is merely part of the right
to try and succeed. Once that
right is taken away, not only is
government regulation inevitable,
but the spirit of business venture
upon which the progress of this
country lies, is taken away.
There are many things in the
Commissions opinion which ap-
pear to the writer to be unsound,
but no editor would publish a let
ter of the length necessary to dis
cuss them.
The Commission says that Sill
yer Spring and Bethesda Bust.
ness Centers intercept virtually
all the business lying to the South
of Wheaton. Unsaid, but implied,
is that those areas have some
sort of divine right to continue to
do so. Moreover, not only would
a department store draw from
the area south of Wheaton, but
1 venture to say a considerable
part of that area does shop in
fundamentally more so than
shop in Bethesda-Chevy Chase.
It is not without significance that
the bus company runs a special
bus from Silver Spring through
various streets to the Wheaton
shopping district and does not do
so from Wheaton to Bethesda.
But, says the Commission,
much of Wheaton's norma TRAD
ing area is vacant and farm land,
and what is in residential use is.
of low density.
In a bulletin on Population
Patterns issued by the Commits
sion in April of this year, it gave
an estimate for the wheaton Dis
trict" of a population of 1854.
In 1852, when we had the sewer
fight with the Sanitary Commits
sion, figures compiled from pub
lie utility sources showed popu-
lation of about $4,000 in a 21a
mile radius of Wheaton proper
AS one of the fastest growing
areas in the United States, that
figure has undoubted-
ly increased considerably. But,

miniStration have asked whether
they would have been included in
the pay raise bill which was We.
toed by the President. At one
time, they note, they were out,
and at one time during the prog.
ress of the bill in Congress they
were in. The answer is that they
were in the final bill-for a five
per cent pay increase, like the
postal and classified government
workers. Moreover, in expected
new pay raise action in January
they will be included, insiders say.
STABILITY: Evidence TIL
Federal employment in the entire
Metropolitan area has stabilized
is furnished by a news report
from the Civil Service Commiss.
ion. AS of Aug. 1, the report
showed that in the month back to
July l, area employment, includ-
ing Montgomery County, dropped
only 185, leaving a grand total of
227,134.
VA had some losses, offset by
some small increases in Justice.
Other agencies generally were
about the same, with some regist-
ering small increases or decreas-
es. This fall, the prospect facing
present and prospective federal
employees in Montgomery coun-
ty is rated as good. An overall in
crease in the federal payroll to
at least 23000O-235,00 is antici-
pated before the end of the year.
The start of school will have
some slight effects on employ
ment prospects, since some girls
who have been working as typiSts
and stenographers will be return
ing to school, heightening the
ever present demands for en-
ployes in these fields.
GORE: H. Grady Gore, of Po-
tomac, well-known in the Wash
ington Metropolitan area, has
been appointed vice-chairman of
the International Organization
Employees Loyalty board, accord
ing to report from Philip
Young, civil service chairman.
This action was taken while the
board was meeting in ID. c. to
conclude action on cases of 80
U. S. citizens on whom the board
held loyalty hearings in Rome
and Paris in June and July.
The board was established
under an Executive Order o.
President Eisenhower in 1858. Il

UNIONS: Some of the biggest
upheavals in the Federal employee
union field in many years may be
registered this month.
Word from the Dallas conven-
ton of the National Federation of
Federal employees indicates that
a move is underway to unseat the
pre- ent leadership of the
N.F.F.E., or at least set up a sort
of executive board which would
result in ultimate loss of control
for the big two" in N.F.F.E.
They are Luther Steward, presi-
dent, and Gertrude McNally, Sec
retary-treasurer, who have head
ed the organization since its es-
Enlistment some 35 or more
years ago.
The young blood" move in
N.F.F,E., coming on the heels of
the failure of the federal pay
raise drive, is regarded as the
most serious threat to the control
of the present incumbents in the
history of the organization.
Meanwhile, spokesman for
A.F.G.E., the rival classified fed
eral employe group, are rumored
to be active at the Dallas con-
clave in behalf of an offer made
by Age, an ALL. affiliate, to
merge with NF.FE., an indepen-
dent, to form single more pow.

Editor,
Montgomery County Sentinel:
The Maryland-National Capital
Park & Planning Commission has
announced its opposition to the
rezoning of the 70 acre Heitmuller
Tract at the intersection of Viers
Mill Road and Georgia Avenue.
While it advances several argu-
ments, its main basis of opposi-
ton, as it makes clear is that Sill
yer Spring has department stores,
the plan for the Heitmuller Tract
calls for department stores, the
Wheaton area is all right for
convenience stores, but a de-
partment store could not make
out in that area.
