the stoppage might not last any
longer than the 48 hours be-

Virtually nothing was being

He said that as far back as

Cross also disputed published

that many of the unions locals

of the suspension.

low discount rate encourages
them to borrow in order to
make commercial or personal
loans, thus helping to keep the
economy rolling at a brisk pace.
Raised 3 Months Ago
1t was only three months
ago that the Reserve banks
raised the discount rate from
3 to 80 per cent. A Federal
Reserve spokesman said at the
time that the. boost was a con-
tinuation of the boards efforts
to restrain the expansion OF
credit because the main fight
is still against imitation"
Even though the money
market has been easing, with
a falloff in loan requests, the
boards action came as sur
prise.
Only last week Chairman
Martin expounded on the evils
of imitation and gave no hint
that tight money policies would
be eased, despite scattered pre-
dictions of a slight economic
downturn.
$40 Billion Imitation
Mr.. Martin told the Ameri-
can Finance Conference, Inc.
that more than $40 billion OF
recent growth in the value OF
the Nations output of goods
and services represented infia-
ton.
I'm not blaming anybody.
he said, "but initiation got
ahead of U.S."
The tenor of his remarks was
that imitation remained a major
threat and the defenseS against
1t could not be dismantled.
Even as Mr.. Martin was talk
ing of continued imitation, Gov
eminent economists this week
were cautiously predicting that
the new year would bring some
relief from rising prices. They
predicted that the cost of liv-
ing might dip slightly in Janu-
airy. then level off into a period
of comparative stability at or
near today's record high.
Treasury officials gave their
full approval to the lower dis
count rates. They have reason
to believe it will cut the cost of
some imminent refinancing.
Treasury Has Problem
The Treasury had planned to
announce today the terms on
which it will borrow some $1l
billion later this month. The
Treasury is faced with the prob
lem of paying off nearly $40
billion in maturing securities,
and needs another billion or so
in new cash or carry it through
the winter.

nounced the new rates. how

Little Rock
Scholarship
Fund Started

A drive for Little Rock
Scholarship Fund for the college
education of Little Rock needy
students in recognition of their
courage and dignity in the face of
mob violence and continuing con-
tention" was launched at the Sun
day morning service of the Mont
gomery County Unitarian Center
by the Reverend John Baker, min
lister for the Center.
From a start of $3.50 collected
from members of the Center,
Rev. Baker hopes to see the Fund
become a national drive directed
by a representative group with
support from both the north and
the south.
An ultimate goal of $4,000
would accomplish the purpose of
the Fund, the Unitarian minister
feels. His motive in starting the
drive is to encourage "all men of
good will to contribute some
thing"
The Montgomery religious lead
err stresses that 'this is no at
tempt on the part of northerners
to patronize the south. We are
in no position to do this as we,
ourselves, are not free from int
grafton troubles"

Farmers Banking and Trust Com
pany, which Jones left to Anne F.
Dawson of Claggettsburg, KY,
were worth $25 each and an ag-
gregate of $22, 800.
This paper erred in reporting
the par value of the stock and not
the market price which, accord
ing to F. Bache Albert, treasurer
of Farmers Bank and Trust, is
$102 per share. Thus the correct
total for the 900 shares would be
about $4,000. We regret the
error.
Subsequent investigation has
disclosed that Jones 875-acre
farm in the Poolesville district
should be worth about $400 an
acre, or total of about $4,000
This price could be higher or
lower, of course, depending on
the market. But an expert on
real estate sales said the land
should sell for $500 an acre.
The $42,460 figure this paper
quoted for the Kensington post
office building, which Jones
owned, was set by tax assessors.
Its actual value probably is
higher.
Jones also left $1,000 in per-
sonal requests.

ping center would be inadequate
for the traffic.
. Better land-use design woulG
place the apartments closer to the
shopping center and main ar
teries.
Investigations showed, accord
ing to Plavnick, that apartments
do not appreciably burden schools
more than single family dwell
ings.
Geeraert, who says 400 units is
all he ever has wished to build
has pared the acreage he re
quests rezoned in order to give
legal assurances.
Originally, he said, he wished
to spread the apartments over &c
acres. This figure had diminish
ed by the first hearing, and now
he says he will request rezoning
for about % acres.
He cites frightened money con
trolls as a major reason for his
turning to apartments, and says
it becomes increasingly difficult
to obtain favorable financing for
the caliber of housing projects he
has been building.
Several roads with widths rang.
ing from SO to AZ feet, according
to Geeraert, would adequately
care for traffic between the apart
ments, the shopping center, Viers
Mill Rd. and Norbeck Rd.
Apartments should be on the
boundary line of Rockville. with
plenty of land around Them
Geeraert says in defense of this
site for apartments.
If the % acres are rezoned he
says he will use the remaining II
for a buffer zone, turning parts
of it into recreational areas.
According to Geeraert the
apartments would be so terrained
as to be invisible from the sur,
rounding houses.
The outcome of the Councils

forseeable with no one willing to
attempt a prediction.

their fight against him.
Following are recommendations
from the Maryland-National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commits
sion and the City of Rockville's
Planning Commission the council
turned down, in 4 to / vote,
Geeraert's first bid for rezoning.
A rehearing will be held Oct. 20.
Mayor Dickran Y. Hovsepian
says this is necessary as little
consideration was given to the
possibilities of rezoning % acres
instead of % acres.
Rezoning of the larger figure,
according to Hovsepian, would
give no legal assurance that Geer-
aert wouldn't erect 600 units
which would be the legal limit
for the land.
They are willing to give more
though to the smaller acreage
which would bind Geeraert to the
400 units he says he wishes to
build.
Under the leadership of Bernard
j. Hasson many residents of
Twinbrook Park bordering the
apartments have organize d
"Twinbrook Park Citizens Asso.
citation" This group which Mrs.
Hasson describes as a vigilante
committee presented a petition
against the rezoning to the Mayor
and Council.
Their objections vary from le-
gal issues to the emotional. They
feel the roads would not be ade-
quate for the traffic that apart
ments would create, schools would
feel the burden, upkeep on the
apartments might be below par
for the neighborhood, expected
rents are prohibitively high and
would result in empty apartments
or lower standard for admission,
and highly important to some is
they used their CT loans to escape
from apartment areas.
Hasson, who has subsequently
become TB-Park's TEA area
chairman, is out of town with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
where he is hearing examiner.
His committee awaits his return
the middle of this month before
plotting its next move.
