gomery County Planning Com
mission.
The zones recommended by
Mr.. Root were:
/. Agriculture residential.
with a minimum permitted tract
size of 5 acres which Mr.. Root
said would help protect land for
agricultural use.
2. Residential Zone l. with a
minimum lot size of two acres
to permit a classification that
would join onto the two-acre
zone in the suburban area and
provide a reasonable interme-
date between the flve-acre and
the half-acre zones.
3. Residential Zone II, with
Ia minimum of roughly a half
acre.
4. Commercial. to accomnno-
date retail businesses and shops
and plants with limited num-
Der Of employees.
S. Industrial, to accommodate
all industries with a notation
that those which might be OBJ
noxious would be required to Sc
cure approval Of the Zoning
Board of Appeals.
Areas Character" Considered
Noting that the upper county
area is SO per cent open country

took into consideration the
character Of the district" He
added that consideration was
given TO continuing or slowly
changing the character of the
countryside where large farms

of small homes in some locali-
ties would be severely damaging
to adjoining property values"
Mr.. Root said he had taken
into account population esti-
mates. land use information and
reports that Montgomery Coun-
tvs LASS farms sold products
having a gross value of $l1.5
million in 1854.
He noted that the economic
survey made OF the county
showed the upper county dis
tricts having $4,000 persons in
January. 1854, with a probable
population by 1880 of 65,253.
He said, however, that it must
be kept in mind that the upper
county must compete with the
remaining undeveloped property
in the suburban area which is
adequate to absorb three times

range of the Redstone is not
known.
The officials denied. however
that any so-called crash pro-
gram" has been launched on
guided missiles.
A new Management Commit
tee. working directly under
Deputy Defense Secretary Reu-
ben Robertson. will have direct
responsibility for squirting the
effort to beat Russia in produc-
ing the nuclear rockets. 1t also
will decide responsibility in de-
velopment between inter-conti-
mental range and mid-range
ballistic missiles.
The committee already has
given the Army and Navy pri-
mary responsibility for stepping
up progress in the medium-range
field. However. this does not
mean that the Air Force will be
stopped in continuing develop
ments in this field, a high Pen
tagon source said.
Long Range Up to Air Force
The long-range field of missile
development has been allocated
exclusively to the Air Force. The
Air Force is testing its 10000
pound Shark missile, which has
been reported to have a range of
upwards Of 5000 miles, at the
Banana River. Fla, range. 1t is
an extremely high-speed weapon
designed for launching from the
United States against any target
in the world.
AS has been reported before,
there will be new concentration
on missile development in the
next fiscal year. Presently, plans
call for increasing appropria-
lions for such weapons from this
years $500 million to around 81
billion.

Despite his appeal, the Council
faced the threat OF possible
vetoes by Nationalist China and
Soviet Russia which might wreck
the entire package deal.
Procedural Wrangle
Voting was expected to be
delayed by a procedural wrangle
over Nationalist China'S de-
mands for priority action on

Sir Leslie told the Council
the overwhelming support Of the
package deal in the General AS

52-2 vote by which the Assembly
urged the council to act favor

pressed confidence all obstacles

was sure to draw Soviet fire.
Formosa Ignores Reds

dropped Finland and Nepal, re-
portedly because they have rec
ognized Red China. In their
place it substituted Korea and
Wet Nam.
The Assembly resolution tech
nically ruled out the Korean and
divided Wet Nam by asking the

cants which have no uniflcation

Some delegates threatened To
start immediate action to unSeat

in retaliation for any veto by the
Chinese Nationalist.
To win admission, any appli-
cant must get seven affirmative
votes in the Security Council

however. The applicant must

untrue"
Seen as Democrat Strategy
"Mr. Stevenson" said Mr..
Hall, knows that for IS years
/ the New Deal and Fair Deal
spokesman have waged a class
conflict. They have attempted
to put class against class. to
stir up hatred among Americans
and to play off one group of our
citizens against another.
The Democrat strategy has
been. and remains to this day,
to divide the American people
into separate groups"
! Mr.. Hall said the overall
theme" of Mr.. Stevenson S
speech charged Republicans with
IAN anti-labor plot" Like the
rest Of his utterances. Mr.. Hall
added, this is sheer bunk"

the Eisenhower administration
for the working people speaks
for itself. He listed these eight
points:
( Eight Points Listed

two great unions have merged.
80. Wages are at an all-time
high.
"3. Take-home pay-the real

Police were gathering evidence
today to lay before the grand
jury a shortage of 100000 to
.000-and possibly more
in funds Of Episcopal Eye, Ear
and Throat Hospital.
Although a woman employe
OF the hospital was fired in con-
nection with the shortages, po-
lice said, she has not been
charged. Nor has a warrant
been sworn out for anyone else,
authorities said.
Two or three other persons
could be involved. police
spokesman said.
Inquiry Incomplete
Police and United States At
torney's office officials said no
arrest has been made because
there has been no legal COM
plant by the hospital. no war
rant sworn out, and the investi-
cation still is incomplete.
Until there is complainant,
or enough evidence for the police
to make an arrest on their own,
there can be no arrest, they said.
1t. David A. Higgins and De-
tective Sergt. George o. Burnley
are leading the police inquiry.

not be completed for another two
weeks.

back to 1858. and an audit now

restitution of the money.
{ The woman was bonded for

ised to make some restitution on
her own, and owns property
which could be used for the pur-
pose, Mr.. Wilson declared.
Charles B. Murray. the hos
pitfalls attorney. told a reporter
that so far as / am advised, the
hospital has fulfilled its obliga-
tons to the public in that any
one having knowledge of a crime
must report it TO the proper
authorities.
Mr.. Mckinley said the money
was taken by altering checks and
vouchers. and by drawing addi-
tional checks for expenses al
ready met.
Describes Alteration
His version. which he empha-
sized has not been verified. is
that check would be drawn for,
say $500. to meet payroll. After
1t was countersigned by appro-
pirate officials it would be altered
to $4,000. Some cash vouchers
also were marked up he said.
The case began in early fall,
when the first shortages were
discovered. Further auditing.
Mr.. Wilson said, revealed that
the shortages were much larger
than at first had been thought.
After the hospital had gained
possession of the facts, officials
approached the United States
attorney, he said.
Mr.. Mckinley called in the
police check and fraud squad
to investigate the shortage. With
the report in hand, he said, he
will be able to decide whether
to present the case to a grand
Jury.
