Regional Plans
Given Boost
Mclaughlin Speaks
To County Group

District Commissioner Robert
e. Mclaughlin last night spear
headed efforts to arouse the in
terest Of Montgomery County
residents in regional planning.
Speaking before an audience
of 20. Mr.. Mclaughlin, president
Of the Board Of Commissioners,
how he gradually had formed
told how he gradually had formed
his own ideas Of meeting Metro
Ipolitan Area problems regionally
through the past two years.
He was introduced to the
meeting Of the Montgomery
County Planning Association in
the Lynnbrook Recreation Center
by Representative Hyde. Repub-
lican Of Maryland, another pi-
oneer regionalist. Mr.. Hyde's
resolution to create a congress
sional commission to analyze
area growth barely missed House
floor action this week and now
is pending before the House Dis
trict Committee.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said he FIRST
met with regional governing Of
ficials some two years ago to
talk over civil defense aboard
the Presidents yacht.
Il found it nothing less than
stupid then that the govern
ing officials Of this Metropolitan
Area did not even know each
other" he said.
Since then. the creation by
the Maryland and Virginia Leg
islatures Of the Tri-State Trans
Iportation Commission and the
beginning Of a 100000 area
transportation study ordered by
Congress have put the regional
view in more peoples mind. he
said
