earlier than that.
Another regrettable cause of
traffic confusion along this area
is entrances to the parking lot
from Viers Mill Road which have
not proved wide enough for the
traffic. All to frequently an out
bound car approaches the exit
diagonally leaving insufficient
room for an incoming car to pass.
1t is not rare for cars to be
lined up two and three deep wait
ing for admittance to the park
ing area, thus tying up one lane
of Viers Mill Road.
A stop sign has been placed on
McAuliffe Drive at the intersec-
ton with Bradley Avenue since
it's traffic was increased with
the opening of the shopping cen
ter.

General acceptance of master
plan for the Cabin John Valley,
proposed by the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, was evident at a
hearing Monday before the Mont
gomery County Council.
1t was the third public hearing
on the far-reaching plan since it
was first proposed two years ago.
Past hearings evinced more pub
lie outcry and attendance about
200 were there Monday in the
Rockville County Building.
Despite general air of accept
ance, some controversy arose over
the locating of a 59-acre regional
shopping center at Bells Mill Road
and Route 240.
Don't zone it (commerciaD
until you need it, was the plea
of James r. Miller, ST., attorney.
Once it is zoned for commercial
use, he argued, it cannot be
changed without having the Coun-
Gil "go through the pangs of the
damned"
IAN oversupply of commercial
hurts US all" another speaker
said. 'What investor is going to
put money into Rockville or Be-
thesda commercial areas with this
new one threatening to over
whelm Them" he reasoned.
Earlier speakers, in approving
the plan, emphasized the import
ance of setting up zones in adj
vance of expensive building to
avoid 'pressures or spotty de-
velopment"
Henry f. Billingsly, chairman
of the Citizens Advisory Com
mittee for Cabin John Valley, a
group formed by eight civic asso-
Citations representing 5000 fami-
lies, spoke to this point. He fav-
ored coming for the regional
shopping area.
There should be an adequate
commercial area centrally located,
he said. Otherwise there will be
''unplanned competing areas at
the fringe" he declared.
Billingsly noted that the pro-
posed area was carefully buffered
by apartment buildings and parks
to avoid disturbing the high-class
residential areas.
The Citizens Advisory Commit
tee had worked out series Of
covenants with DR.. John H. Solo
mon, major owner of the land pro-
posed for this purpose, as means
for further protecting the resi-
Dental character of the area.
AS explained by Oscar Suder-
meister, the agreements entered
into by DR.. Solomon and the Com
mittee covered various matters
from assurance of smooth traffic
flow on Bells Mill Road. pedes-
trian overpasses, and set-backs, to
landscaping and regulation of

DR.. Arthur Templeton, director
of business affairs of the board

bility of faulty mechanism was
also being considered in the Ken

answer to this particular worry,
Templeton said. He pointed to
Montgomery's long and excep-

assurance for disturbed parents.

A $50 transatlantic voyage
aboard a "Boatel" carrying
5000 passengers was envisioned
at a House Merchant Marine
Committee meeting today.
But a proposal to have the
Federal Government build two
such 9O,000-ton vessels and sell
them for $40 million each to
Sea Coach Trans Atlantic, Inc,
hit a snag when Federal Mari
time Administrator Clarence
Morse opposed 1t.
Mr.. Morse estimated that
construction Of the ships might
cost as much as $3.50 million
each. He told the committee
there was no assurance that
the shipping company headed
by H. B. Cantor has the nee
essary resources and facilities
to operate two such ships on
q non-subsidized basis, espe-
cially at a $50 one-way fare.
Mr.. Morse said the proposed
vessels conceivably could ham
die all the transatlantic trade
currently carried by United
States flag vessels. He declared
that the project suggested by
Mr.. Cantor seemed not war
ranted by national needs or
urgency" He called attention
to the heavy strain that the
proposed construction would
put on the Federal budget and
he also mentioned President
Eisenhov'er's announced policy
of encouraging privately
financed projects wherever pos
sible.
The legislation authorizing
the Maritime Administration
to build the two ships and sell
them to Mr.. Cantor was urged
