Brooke Lee Defends Lease
To Maryland Bureau

E. Brooke Lee. Montgomery
County Democratic leader, last
night defended his lease of Office
space to the Maryland Depart
ment of Employment Security
as just another business deal
made without contact with any
State official
For the last dozen years I
have been building stores and
apartments to rent. We rent
them and keep them" he said.
Mr.. Lee recently signed a FIVE
year lease with the agency for
a 100-by-20 foot building at
952 Gist avenue. Silver Spring,
at $4,000 a year. This is about
$40 a square foot.
I'VE feel 1t Is a good lease
and welcome the opportunity to
make any additional ones on a
similar basis for tenants with
equal credit standing" David
Scull said.
TOwsOn Lease PrObed
Mr.. Scull is the son-in-law of
Mr.. Lee. His firm of Sterling 81
Soul leases and manages rental

Security Board. confirmed his

partment."

cGRl4IlN,,I,
For Pike Entry

The Montgomery County Coun.
ell will make an appeal to the
new Maryland State Roads Com
mission to build both the pro-
posed Montrose road interchange
and the Monroe street overpass
for the new National Pike in
Rockville.
The council Yesterday declined
to take action as requested by
the commission to close Monroe
street at the pike.
Instead, members agreed to
send a letter to Commission
Chairman Robert o. Bonnell
urging both constructions.
The commission, in a recent
letter to the council. said that
unless the council agreed to the
closing the State would not build
the Montrose interchange.
At present only one inter-
change on the north end of
Rockville is provided to give area
residents access to the limit
access highway.
Council members expressed
concern over the commissions
threat" not to provide the see
ond interchange.
The former roads commission
had agreed to only a temporary
closing of Monroe street with the
promise that an overpass would
be built when additional funds
are provided, possibly through
the new Federal aid highway bill.
But the new commission has
failed to reiterate such a COM
mitment as requested by the
County Council several weeks
ago.
The Council learned that by
early fall it will be asked to hold
public hearing on the widening
and reconstruction of Arlington
road in Bethesda.
Residents of the Edgemore
area had bitterly fought the pro-
posed widening that will force
the removal of many of the trees
along the residential street.
The road connects Old George
town road at Bradley boule-
ward and parallels Wisconsin
avenue. 1t is heavily Travelled
despite its narrow width of ls
to 20 feet.
Public Works Director Mason
Butcher said his department is
proposing a 44-foot wide street
in a 66-foot right of way. He
said it would require taking eight
feet of property of each side OF
the road

Closing of the building leaves
only one of the older-type school
buildings still in uses at the
county. 1t is the original Frank
lin-Sherman building at Nc
Lean.
The school board opened bids
on the first demountable-type
school additions planned for
Annandale and Mclean High
Schools, Action on the bids was
deferred until 7::20 pm. Thurs
day while the board studies the
proposals. The low bidder esti-
mated it would take $50 days to
complete the two buildings,
while two other bidders said the
job could be done in 90 to 100
days.
Ralph Buckley, principal at
Annandale. told the board he
would have to use the gymna-
SUM, health rooms, lobby, util-
tiles room of the home eco
Monies class and other tempo
rary spaces to accommodate
1,700 students expected this fall.
The school was built for 1.O5O.
DR.. Gleason presented the
board a petition signed by around
$50 residents of Mount Vernon
and Lee Districts urging reor-
ganization Of the school system
to provide separate junior and
senior high schools. A COM
mittee appointed by the board
last week to study possible re-
will hold its first
Thursday night.
On the motion of Sidney Solo,
mon, the board voted to co-op-
crate with the Soroptimist Club
in a program to publicize activi-
ties of teen-agers who are not
troublemakers.
THE idea is. to publicize the
81 per cent who don't get in
trouble, instead of always pub
licizing the 3 per cent who do. !"

False Arrest
Case Dropped
By Sheriff

After a 12-day cooling off
period, the jurisdictional traffic
hassle between Fairfax County
Sheriff John E. Taylor and two
Arlington policemen melted
away today.
In the early morning hours of
July 6, Sheriff Taylor was
stopped by Arlington Officers
Jack Callahan and Charles r.
Rainey in the city of Falls
Church.
The Arlington policemen had
followed the sheriff there across
the Arlington line, and accused
him of violating their county's
speed limit.
Mr.. Taylor charged the two
officers with making an unlawful
arrest, because they stopped him
IN rails Cnurch.
Today, the officers involved
met in the Office of Assistant
Commemorative Attorney Mar
Gus Beckner. of Fairfax. After the
session, MIR. Taylor said the
summons issued by me will not
be further pursued"
The sheriff explained that the
"jurisdictional question involved"
must be resolved by law en-
forcement officials of both coun-
ties. :"
In answer to question, Mr..
Taylor agreed that"that's the
end of it :"

Reading has become a family
, habit with the Litseys of Alex
andria.
In fact, Mr.. and Mrs. Litsey
and their four children read so
much they were chosen to star
on a Voice of America radio pro-
gram on the reading habits of
an American family.
The Alexandria Library figures
the LitSeyS probably have set a
record in the number of books
taken out by a single family.
Miss Ellen Burke, librarian, says
they average about asa week.
William Litsey and his wife,
Mildred, live at 405 Lloyd lane,
where it is not uncommon to find
books under the bed or the
pillows as well as on the book
shelf.
K. Each Has references
Mrs. Litsey says the members
Of the family read "a little bit
of everything" but each has his
own preferences.
Mr.. Litsey, a survey statisti-
clan for the Army, likes history.
His hobby is tracing families. He
has illustrated his own family
tree with snapshots of many
members and of the birthplaces
and burial grounds Of their
ancestors.
Mrs. Litsey 1avors books on
current issues and those recon-
mended by her church groups.
Right now she is reading UP on
minority problems.
Mrs. Litsey said the children
: go through stages. David, 9, is
interested In adventure books.
Marcia, 10. has a craze for books
about horses. Olivia, IS. is at
the romantic novel stage. Anne,
81, follows her fathers prefer
ence for history.
Books by BOxful
The Litseys take box along
when they go to the library.
When they have read the boxful.
they take it back for a refill.
Alexandria Library has no limit
on the number of books that can
be checked out at one time.
The library has become a pet
project with the Litseys and
they contribute annually to the
library fund. When a relative
or friend dies, instead of send
ing flowers they make a me-
mortal contribution to the Ii
brary.

the Towering date OF the azaleas
on Mount Hamilton varies from
Z to 10 days, from year TO year,
depending upon spring tempera-
lures. This is late season.
