Rains Raise
RiUer LeveI
By One Foot

The level of the Potomac river
has risen one foot, three and one
third inches from its drought low
Of August 20, Psychologists for the
U. S. Geological Survey reported
this week.
The present level still is slightly
lower than the normal level for
this time of year, but not sig
nificantly so, they said.
The increase in depth translated
into a rise in the rate of flow
of from 100 cubic feet per sec
ond to 1870 feet, or from 1912
feet above sea level to 1910 feet.
This weeks level, while lower
than the levels at this time in
1944-46-47 is higher than the COM
paratlve dates in 193O-32-36.
The level of the river never
reached a critical" low, despite
the drought this year, the experts
said.

Attorney Quits Post,
Is Critical Of Mayor

Cecil E. Custer, Gathers
burg City Attorney, resigned
his post this week over dis
agreement with the city plan
ming commission and Mayor
Merton F. Duvall.
Sentinel, there comes a time
when you feel that they should
accept or reject your advice -
and that's that"
Custer referred to what he
termed reluctance on the part of
the planning board to inform city
taxpayers of the status of a city
survey being made by the Fred
w. Tuemmler firm of city plan
ners, Hyattsville.
"Tuemmler is an excellent man,
well qualified for the job" Custer
commented, "but like all city
planners, he tends to propose
ideal, instead of practical plans"
The city gave Tuemmler an SILL
600 contract to make the survey
about five months ago. Several
weeks ago, Duvall told this paper,
when it inquired, that no concrete
proposals had yet been made by
Tuemmler, and that ii would take
about year to complete the sur.
vey.
The mayor could not be reached
for comment on Clusters remarks.
Tuemmler was out of town.
The city hired Tuemmler to
make the survey in the light of
the future location near the town

City OK's
Fees for
ClenvieW

The much debated question
of fees for the use of the Glen
view Civic Center was set
tied Tuesday when the Mayor
and Council laid down a policy
of no fees for meetings of pub
lie organizations and a flat
fee per room for all fund-rais-
ing activities.
A permit with a charge of one
dollar must be obtained from
Recreation Director Bert Kur-
land, before any activity can be
scheduled.
The Civic Center Commission
will recommend a fee schedule to
be administered by Kurland with
the Mayor and Council reserving
the right to rule on any waiver of
fee.
The city heads also barred use
of the Center's Mansion by pri-
vate individuals and gave first
priority to all Rockville public
organizations. County organiZa-
tons may use the center only
when there is no conflict with
city groups.
Fks question of definition of
Rockville" and public" is an adj
ministrative one to be decided by
the recreation director, the coun-
Gil voted.
Since the Center was opened to
the public last February, num-
Der of private individuals have
used the center for wedding re-
ceptions, confirmation parties,
etc. A. Tuchtan, chairman of the
Civic Center Commission, strong
ly opposed such use and agree
ment by the council was unani-
nous.
The dispute over whether liq-
our should be allowed in the civic
center did not come up at Tues
days meeting.

City Workers
Directing to
Remote Site
Employees Leaving
Represent 80
Percent of Total
BY Steed Evans
Staff Reporter

More than 500 employees of
the Atomic Energy Commits
sion in Washington won't
make the move into the new
b vi ding at Germantown
when it is opened early in
January, an Acc spokesman
said this week.
Henry Thurston, Of the Aces
organization and personnel divi.
sion, said the figure represented
80 percent of the total working
force in Washington.
Most of those who won't move
are included in the 60 percent of
the employees who live either in
Virginia or the District, Thurston
said. His remarks were contained
in an address Tuesday to the new
Rockville Chamber Of Commerce
at the Washingtonian Motel.
Moving Date Set
Thurston said the first trucks
carrying desks and filing cases
will head for Germantown after
working hours January 3. The
remaining furniture will be
moved January a and 5 and the
10th, 18th and 18th. During the
weekdays in between, he said,
employees and valuable, classi-
fled materials will be moved
under the strictest surveillance"
BY the time the move is com
plete, he added, skeletal force
of only 10 employees will be left
in Washington.
About the only thing advantag-
eous to Aces plight, Thurston
said, was the recent cutback in
Defense Department employees.
Many Of these persons, he said,
have made applications to the
Acc.
Between May 80 and September
] Of this year, Thurston elabor-
ated, about 10 families, one
member or more of which work
for the Acc, moved north
of the halfway line" between
the old and new Acc plants. He
said that line was at the inter-
section of the northern terminus
Of Old Georgetown Road and the
Rockville Pike, just south of
Rockville.
Schools Factor
I'VE don't expect 10 have many
more removals north of Wash
ington," Thurston continued, "un-
til after next June because SO
many children have been enrolled
in downtown schools"
One of the deterrents TO people
moving into the upper-county
area, Thurston told the Chamber,
Is the almost complete lack of
apartment buildings. Many more
would make the move, he said,
If they thought they could move
into an apartment and then, if
they still like working in the new
building. look around for house
to rent or buy.
He said that on the average,
each Acc family has 2.8 children
and that the breadwinner earns
an average of $1,000 a year.
Altogether, he said, the total
Acc payroll equals S12 million.
OF the people who will move
this January about 200 more
will move in when an additional
wing is completed 800 own their
