Mr.. Chasanow began to learn
what it was like being a barter
lawyer in the old days. He some
times was able to trade legal
services for things he needed.
Despite his financial difficult
ties, Mr.. Chasanow and his fam
lily went ahead with their plans
--on paper-for a new house. He
got his lot in a different section
Of Greenbelt in exchange for
legal services for the real estate
firm handling the development.
"Our family seemed to grow
even closer together" he said,
Even little Ruthie seemed to
sense that her daddy needed a
few more hugs and kisses to let
him know that everything was
going to be all right"
Son Got a Job.
Howard, the son, stepped IN,
too. He got job.
HE put his foot down with
the Others" Mr.. ChaSanow said
"He told them he would supply
the nickels and dimes from now
on, and not to go running to
dad for them"

was set. he added, as an average
of the salaries paid last year by
Fairfax and Alexandria.
There are other compensations,
however. These include housing
on the post at $40 a month, the
social status of an officer-in-
cluding the privilege of joining
the officers club as associate
members-and the chance of
shopping at the inexpensive post
exchange and the commissary.

Four buildings will be used to
provide Is classrooms. Six of
the rooms will be located in an

der block buildings formerly
used by the Engineer School as
troop classroorns.
The two other buildings and
the annex. all located on widely
separated sites, will be linked
together by five Army buses.
These will take children from

The aim of the schools win be
shifted. however. from the
county's plan Of educating for

pupils adequately for the pursuit
of advanced education"
Since q recent survey showed

placed on lesson drills. And, Mr..

Last, Chosonow Can Sleep in Peace; Navy Ends Nighttime


Abe .Chasanow's nightmare
lasted 13 months.
The Navy ended his bad dream
yesterday by giving him back his
job and telling him he Is an hon.
est and loyal American citizen
and not the security risk they
thought he was all this time.
And now that he's awake
again, it's difficult for him and
his family to pinpoint the emo
tions with which they were
gripped when the Government
told Mr.. Chasanow on July 80.
1858. he was a bad security risk
and they would have to let him
go.
There was this terrific shock, I"
Mr.. Chasa11ow said. I'VE didn't
know what was going on. We
just couldn't believe this was
happening to U.s."
"A minister who has been a
good friend came over to see us
that night" Mrs. Chasanow, a
small, dark-eyed pretty woman.
said. I'VE pulled down all the
shades and went into the dining
room and closed the doors and
told him about it.
"We thought things like this
were something very secret. Then
the next day some one called and
said they'd heard Abe had been
arrested for espionage"
We Couldn't Sleep
What happens to a man and
his family when he is accused
of being security risk and his
$160-a-week income is suddenly
shut off?
I'VE couldn't eat,a Mr.. Chas-
anow said. 1--WE couldn't sleep.
Both Of us lost weight. The A.
rlancial part was bad enough,
but the worst thing about it was
the implication that I was dis
loyal.
'We began to wonder how this
was going to affect our friends
what people would think about
this thing. Next. we got fight
ing mad, and wanted to do some
thing, about it, but didn't know
what to do"
He got a fast answer about
what his friends were going to
think.
Mr.. Chasanow, a Navy en-
ploye for % years before the
strange security case came up,
has lived in Greenbelt, Md, for
IA years. Greenbelt is a tightly
knit community, and most of
the residents know each other
well.
Mr.. Chasanow moved there be-
cause it looked like a good place
to raise q family-a family now
consisting Of a son. Howard. II.
and three daughters, Phyllis, Is,
Myrna, 9, and Ruthie. Z.
Was Civil Minded.
He was a Joiner and a civic
minded man. He got around
among the many groups in
Greenbelt.
"We were lucky when this
thing happened" Mr.. Chasanow
said. 1--WE had made good friends
and everybody knew us. It
seemed like verybody wanted to
help. We had to turn down
countless offers of financial as
Evening star., 1954-09-02

sistance. Above everything, I
didn't want to be charity case. :"
The Navy's action came at a
time of financial strain. There
had been recent doctor bills. and
the Chasanow budget was Sc
verely stretched. So, in addition
to planning his defense against
the charges the Navy drew
against him, Mr.. Chasanow set
about to find ways of keeping his
family going while the fight was
in progress.
He had a small law practice on
the side and began to expand it
Helped Business.
II think I got some clients be-
cause of this" he said. People
knew only slightly came to see
me with legal cases."
In addition, there was the
small retainer he gets as counsel
for the Greenbet Veterans
Housing Association.
4And our folks were wonder
ftll." he added. They sent us a

f1culty. ] consider it a loan. It's

To Inspect Private Sewers.
AS an outgrowth OF another
sewage problem that arose ear
lier in the day, the board adopted
a resolution by Mrs. Anne Will
kins directing, Harry Hale, sani-
tary engineer. to make periodic
inspections Of privately owned
sewage disposal plants. Since the
county lacks authority to en-
force standards of operation. Mr..
Hale would make his reports to
the State Water Control Board
and the State Health Depart
ment.
This action grew out of a re-
quest by L. r. Broyhill, real es-
tate developer, to enlarge the
treatment facilities at the pri-
vately owned Chesterfield sew
age plant. The board had denied
this request two weeks earlier
and again denied the application
yesterday after a delegation OF
some 80 residents of the area
protested operation of the plant
as a nuisance.
Mr.. Broyhill said he would be
glad to relinquish control of the
treatment plant entirely If the
county would provide service for
the area. He also agreed to Eelp
finance the cost of extending a
trunk line from the area to the
county-owned system which is
expected to be built to within
1000 feet Of the plant in about
18 months.
