At Annual Fly Plague

Gaithcrsburg residents are
swatting, shooing :. and cursing
the annual fly invasion.
Complaints about the flies al
the Fair Grounds Labor Day din.
ner were almost as thick as the
pesky insects. Councilman Sam.
uel Briggs exclaimed, "The tables
were just black with them.
Mayor Merton Duvall says, II
had conference with Lawson
King two weeks before the Coun.
ty Fair and he said he was going
to spray the barns after the fair.
But that spray doesn't kill the
eggs; only the grown flies. !
have no doubt that the flies are
breeding in the straw at the Fair
Grounds
Building Committee Chairman
King reports that he did spray.
I'VE used malathion, the best
stuff on the market. There are
no flies in those barns. OF
course, there may be flies in the
dining room. They didn't spray
in there"
Fair Chairman r. w. Farmer

claims, THE litter on the ground
was just as much an attrac.
ton to the flies as the straw.
We cleaned up all the paper right
after the fair and | burned it
myself. We're going to get that
straw out of there just as soon
as we can"
Mayor Duvall has written a
letter Of complaint to Mr.. King,
urging that the straw be cleaned
out Of the barns. The Mayor
says he attended a picnic at the
Fair Grounds Sunday and there
were flies a.plenty."
The insect invasion is not new
to Gaithersburg. The County
Sanitation Department says it
gets complaints every year right
after fair time" Mr.. King, how.
ever, insists that the cool weather
drives the flies TO the shelter of
warm homes Councilman John
w. Griffith seems to agree.
After all, this is the fly season. f"

Montgomery County's school
building program went two steps
forward and one step back, it ap-
peared at Tuesdays all-day School
Board meeting.
West Rockville's eight-room adj
dition was approved; Sherwood
Highs 16-room addition is being
given serious consideration at the
request of the parents; and the
new TWinbrook Forest school is
being held up because of site diff
ficultieS.
This proposed 10 classroom-all
purpose room school is slated to
relieve overcrowding in the Rock
vile area by 1857. The 10-acre
site is on the Meadow Hall tract
off Viers Mill Rd.
The Board, asked to approve the
preliminary drawings, raised the
question of a school site with no
playground area because of its
location on a hill Cost of level
ing the hill was estimated at $16-
$4,000 if no rock were hit With
rock, the site use would cost S12
per cubic yard.

New Land Use Plan Offered
BY Businessmen of Wheaton

A land use plan for the area
bounded by Old Bladensburg
Road, Fern Street, and Reedie
Street in Wheaton, providing
space for stores, free parking, and
protected sidewalks, was ap.
proved by the Wheaton Chamber
of Commerce Tuesday.
The plan will be sent to the
County Council, with the recon-
mendation that it be adopted. 1t
was devised by Thomas Oyster,
chairman of the chambers public
Improvements committee. Mr..
Oyster is president of the Whea-
ton engineering and surveying
firm.
The plan, which covers an as
yet undeveloped area on the south
side of Old Bladensburg Road at
about the 11400 block, would in
crease parking space available to
shoppers and also provide more
tax-asseSsable property to the
county Mr.. Oyster said. Provi-
sions of the plan include three
business places on Old Bladens.

Approves Building of Two
New Schools; One Rejected

Also the boards attorney will
be asked to study the purchase
contract to prevent repetition of
the BrookvieW situation. This
school was kept from opening this
week because of misunderstand-
ing of the agreement on the wat
er and sewer lines.
West Rockville Elementary,
was finally given the go-ahead
on its eight room addition, under
consideration since last June.
DR.. Norris proposed that the
nearby Rock Terrace school, at
present a Negro elementary, be
converted to either a Special Edu-
cation Center for handicapped
children, another junior high or
new school administrative
building. This would prevent two
large elementary schools immedi-
ately adjacent to each other.
He recommended that the board
of education start to look for a
school site to replace Rock Ter
race somewhere in the vicinity
of Ri. %.
Board Member Rose Kramer
opposed the new addition because
she felt that new school else
where would solve the problem
better. She asked for an imme-
date redistricting of the children
coming to West Rockville from
outlying areas.
A similar request was made by
Mrs. Alex Greene of the West
Rockville PTA, who asked the
board to spread the present
overcrowding around to other
schools" West Rockville started
the year with 10 classes on dou.

of 941 in a 700 children capacity
school.
Sherwood High PTA president,
David Brigham, Charles Romaley,
the school principal, and Dick
Hutchinson, appeared before the
board to request the proposed 16.
room addition as the least the
school could use in view of an
estimated enrolment increase of
400 in 1857. This does not in.
clude integrated students.
Mr.. Brigham explained that
Harrison Kings request for a
hearing Tuesday for Sherwood
High parents who were asking
for a siX.room addition instead
was due to a misunderstanding.
II was the result of a meeting
of parents last year when the
enrolment was expected to be a
great deal less.
Mr. Romaley made a plea for
the purchase of the three.acre

Shop Center
Request Gets
Council Veto

BY a unanimous vote, the Rock
vile City Council Tuesday night
rejected the plea of Philip and
p. j. Hannah for permission to
build TWinbrook's third shopping
center on Vierss Mill Rd. and At
lantic Ave.
Deadlocked last week by a %
vote in the absence of James
Robertson, Rockville's Mayor
and Council voted as one man at
this weeks meeting because of
additional evidence" brought in
by Mr.. Robertson.
In discussing John OXley's reas.
ons for voting for the petition
last week, Mr. Robertson said
that if the Hannah brothers land
had been made unfit for residen-
tial use by rezoning across AT.
lantic Ave, they had helped to
bring this about as petitioners
for rezoning of the tract on the
west side in May, 1858 and April,
1854.
p. J. Hannah said that he and
his brother did not own any part
of the land on the west side
where the new A e. = is under
construction. He did not deny,
however, that his name had been
included in the petition.
Mr.. Oxley said that this put a
different light on the situation

OF rambling construction, the
"hotel-motel' would cost in the
neighborhood of 100000, the re-
staurant $125,000 and the land
and Improvements the balance.
Earlier, the Silver Spring real
estate firm of Sterling and Scull
offered the CHA so acres of the
81 acre tract on which it holds
an option for a price Of 81 an
acre or more. The firm also ask.
ed the County Council to extend
an official welcome to the GA.
In support of this move, Scull
and Sterling observed:
l. That the Washington Subur.
ban Sanitary Commission has al.
ready indicated its willingness TO
serve the Acc with a water line
which could be extended to the
CHA as well.
2. The same reasons that
brought the Acc to Germantown
could be cited for the GAS To-
cation in the same area -conven-
fence to Washington, good roads,
favorable environment.
3. That the location of the CHA
here would bring to the County
additional outstanding citizens
TO contribute to County growth
and prosperity"
David Soul, head of the County
Commerce association and the
Silver Spring Trade Board, also
announced that his firm hopes to
use the balance of the 80 acre
tract to construct $4,000 to $780,.
900 homes on quarter acre sites.
He said these homes would more
than pay for County services re-
ceivcd by their tax payments.

Atomic Agency
In United Nations
Gets Russian Nod

UNITED NATIONS, NY, R-
Western sources said today they
were encouraged by RusSia's con-
ditional endorsement of an inter
national agency to carry out Pres
ident Eisenhower atoms for
peace plan.
Soviet First Deputy Foreign
Minister v. M. Kuznetsov offered
a resolution to the U.N. General
Assembly's key Political Commit
tee yesterday expressing hope
such an agency could be set up
soon within the U.N. framework.
But he added the provisos the
proposed body must be subject to
the Security Council and its big
power veto on major security
questions and also must be open to
all countries, including Red China
and East Germany.
The United States wants the
proposed atomic body to have the
status of a specialized U.N. agency
and strongly opposes any veto
authority by the major powers
over the agency's normal func-
tons However, Washington rec
ognized that any question vitality
affecting the security of state
would have to come before the
Security Council.
The Western informants empha-
sized that although the Soviet
delegate hammered away for the
conditions Moscow wants imposed
on any atomic agency, he did not
indulge in any diatribes.

Cruenther Urges
Indignation Of
Europe Air Forces

PARIS, R-Gen. Alfred Gruen-
Their Tuesday urged the free ma
tons Of Europe to integrate their
air forces to meet any surprise
attack by Russia.
Speaking to the defense minis
tiers Of the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization MATO), the SUI
preme commander described the
present air command system as
archaic"
The integrated air force COM
mand he advocated would allow
the West to be alerted and get off
the ground with much greater
speed than now possible.
Gruenther said the integrated
command should be divided into
four main areas: northern Euro
pean, central Europe, Mediterra-
mean and Britain.
Under the present NATO setup
the various air forces are under
national control. This also applies
to civilian warning systems.
A spokesman at Gruenther's
closed meeting at his headquarters
IL miles west of Paris said the
integrated plan has not been pre-
sented to all the countries in
volved, but added:
II imagine it will go forward
rather quickly"
Gruenther told the ministers
that in quantity and quality
NATO was behind planned SEIZED
ules, but added:
IF war should come today, Oct
IL, we probably would win, but ]
can't guarantee this will always
be the same in the future"
Gruenther said much new think
ing is taking place in NATO con-
corning the greater dispersion Of
irfields with smaller number OF
aircraft assigned to each field
