Montgomery Presses
New High Schools

Montgomery County's Board Of
Education last night designated
the proposed North Bethesda
Senior High School and Wheaton
Junior High School as top pri-
ority construction projects.
The two projects will be used
as a basis for obtaining Federal
aid in the county's school con-
struction program.
Officials estimated that ap-
proximately 81 million could be
obtained for the projects, thus
releasing this amount for other
capital improvements.
Plans and specifications for
the two schools were reported to
be complete, and an immediate
application for Federal aid was
authorized.
Board members were reminded
of three approaching school dedi-
cation programs: Montgomery
Blair gymnasium at o'clock to-
night. West Rockville Elemen-
tary School at $3.50 pm. Sunday.
and the Wheaton High School at
3 pm. October 3.

By Ben FronEiin

II am deaf. My name is Dem

Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene Daley on
Engleside drive in Mclean, va.
If you, find me. please take me
home"
That Is the text of an adhe-
sive tape sign that Dennis War
rem Daley unfortunately wasn't
wearing yesterday. Dennis. who
is 8, wandered almost Z miles
from home, touching of a search
by 25 firemen and a squad Of
Fairfax County police.
Dennis is an inveterate ex-
plorer, according to his father,
a 32-year-old machinist at the
United States Soldiers Home.
He was sitting. tired. wet. de-
jected and with tears in his
eyes while the posse of res
cuers combed the Mclean coun-
tryside. And. of course, little
Dennis couldn't tell any one he
was getting more and more lost
and farther and farther away
from home.
Almost totally deaf as a re-
suit of an attack Of meningitis
when he was 8 months old, Dem
mis- has not yet learned to speak
his name. A hearing aid has
been ordered for him and will
arrive next week.
Makes Up for Ride.
He's not a lone wolf, Mr..
Daley explained, as long as his
two brothers and three sisters
are home and playing with him.
But I didn't take him for his
usual morning drive" his mother
said. "and I guess he just had
to go out on his own"
Mrs. Daley usually takes Den
mis- for a ride around the neigh
borhood on mornings after the
other children have gone to
school.
Mrs. Daley noticed Dennis
was missing about 8 am. The
Mclean Volunteer Fire Depart
ment is only a fields distance
away, and Mrs. Daley checked
there first. It's favorite Dennis
territory, she said. Then the
search was on. growing as the
hours passed and fresh volun-

woods for the little boy who
couldn't hear and couldn't talk.
Gets Wise to Sign.
Last winter Mrs. Daley pasted
a huge adhesive tape tag on
Dennis jacket when he first
showed signs of wandering. "He
got wise to that pretty fast and
pulled it off" she said, "and this
summer it was too hot to make

More than $50 farmers of Up

Instead, the group agreed, the
whole subject should be dropped

ary. At that time, the farmers.

Lively Meeting.
Last nights meeting in the
Agricultural Center auditorium
at Gaithersburg was a tempestu-
GUS affair and, according to Mr..
Cullum, nearly got out Of
hand" on a couple of occasions.
The landowners had invited
proponents of the zoning ordi-
nance to present their reasons
for supporting regulations for
the county.
The speakers were Thomas C.
Kelley, Rockville attorney. who
heads the Upper Montgomery
County Planning Commission;
Frederick Gutheim. planner who

Some of the remarks Of the
proponents were greeted by hoots
and catcalls. Mr.. Cullum re-
ported.
"Our position was this" Mr..
Cullum said. "The upper county
area has $50 square miles. 1t
contains rs per cent of the area
and only Is per cent of the pop

We don't believe we should be

chairman of the landowners
group. requested that permanent
officers be elected and that he
be relieved as head of the Or

Senator Johnston
Pleads Kensington
Church zoning Case

Senator Johnston, Democrat,
of South Carolina, appeared last
night at hearing of the Mont
gomery County Council to plead
the case of the Kensington Bap-
tist Church, which seeks recon-
ing of its site at 3725 Dupont
street.
Senator Johnston, speaking at
the meeting in the Montgomery
Hills Junior High School. asked
the Council to approve the
church's application to rezone
the property to commercial.
1--WE need the money" Senator
Johnston, a Bible-class teacher
at the church, said. The church
recently bought a tract on Con-
necticut avenue in Kensjngton,
Md, for new building.
Pastor Explains Plan.
The Rev. Eugene Saunders,
pastor of the church, explained
that money from the sale of the
site is needed to build a larger
church.
Chester F.. Page. Kensington
town councilman, maintained
the site should be kept as a
residential area. Speaking for
the Mayor and council. he said:
ITO permit. church, through
commercial zoning, to liquidate
facilities which have become in
adequate and secure windfall
profit to finance new facilities
is an unconscionable cir
convention of zoning. ..."
Tells of Doctors Offer
Another Councilman, Court
land Townsend said that a
group of doctors had offered to
buy the church site. The land
could be used for doctors Offices
without rezoning, he asserted.
Thomas Lohm, of Wheaton,
who presented the church appli-
cation. called upon a number of
real estate men to support his
case.
In response to Mr.. Lohm's
questioning, F. M. Higgins, a
real estate man, said the area
needs more commercial land. He
said the church site would not
be suitable for residential pur-
poses.
At the request of county coun-
Gil chairman Harold r. Ham
mond for a count, 135 Baptist
Church members stood up in
support Of the rezoning applica-
ton. An opposition spokesman
put in the record a petition
signed by 162 residents against
the move.

! under advisement.

Two Bethesda Youths
Held for Grand Jury
On Bombing Charges
Bethesda

Two 18-year-old Bethesda
youths arrested last June in
connection with a series of
bombings that rocked the COM
munity yesterday were ordered
held for action by the Montgofn-
cry County grand jury.
Released under $1,000 bond
each were James l.. FieSer, jr.,
of the 5000 block of Edgemoore
lane, and James P. Seward, of
the 5400 block of Lambeth road.
They were held on one charge
each of blowing up or attempting
to blow up the water cooling
tower at the Hot Shoppe restau-
rant on Georgia avenue just
across the District line in Sill
yer Spring last May %.
Charges of attempted arson in
the same bombing were dropped
at the request of Assistant States
Attorney Robert c. Heeney.
Mr.. Heeney asked and was per-
mitted by Trial Magistrate Oscar
j. See to amend the original
charge of malicious destruction
of private property in favor of
the sitter count of bombing,
when the youths appeared in
court. The new charge carries
a maximum penalty of 20 years
in prison, Mr.. IIeeney said.
Other charges of bombing and
attempted arson against the two
youths as a result of an attack
the same night on a Bethesda
resident were continued until
December 6. These charges
probably will be presented di-
rectly to the grand jury when
it convenes in November.
Two new similar warrants were
served on the Fieser youth yes
terday when he appeared in
court in connection with an at
tack last April 8 on the home of
a vice principal at the Bethesda
Chevy Chase High School. A
preliminary hearing on the
charges was delayed, however,
when the youths attorney, Bar
nard T. Welsh. said his client
was a day short of being 18
years of age at the time, and
therefore came under jurisdic-
ton of the juvenile court.

4 Candidates Differ
In Arlington on
Wafer Crisis Blame

Four candidates for the Ar

for the county's recent water
shortage.
Mrs. Leone Buchholz, incum-
bent seeking reelection as the
nominee of the Arlington Inde-
pendent Movement, said mac
tion by a prior board was re-
Sponsible.
Democrat Brian Bell said ac-
ton by Mrs. Buchholz and other
board members two years ago
would have averted the shortage
which resulted from a lack of
distribution facilities.
Cites Six-Year Plan.
Ivan A. Booker, Town Meeting
nominee, said a six-year plan
of improvements presented to
the board in 1851 recommended
immediate steps to improve the
water system, but no action was
taken. AS a result. he said,
Arlington citizens pay 2 cents
more for each $100 of fire in
surance on brick dwellings than
do residents of Alexandria.
Daniel A. Dugan, Independent
and a former board member,
said the six-year water i'm
provement plan resulted from
a resolution offered by him in
1850. He said the plan has been
scrapped" by the present board
majority.
Mrs. Buchholz told the go per-
sons who attended the meeting
of the Cherrydale Citizens AS

has been moving as fast as it
possibly can to improve the wa
ter facilities"
