Military Road
Widening Hit
Residents Request
Another Hearing

A group Of Military road res
idents are seeking to block a
widening project scheduled to
start next winter.
Robert T. Smith. attorney,
who lives at SoSs Military road
NV. asked on behalf of the
group yesterday that the Dis
trict Commissioners call a
hearing on the plans. The
Highway Department expects
to widen the road IA feet on a
stretch between Twenty-seventh
street and Nebraska avenue.
The city already has held
one public hearing on the prof.
Iect, but Mr.. Smith in a letter
complained that citizens had
not been given adequate notice.
His letter charged highway
officials plan to make a speed
way Of the street and destroy
its residential character.
Highway officials today de-
Tended the project, which is
tied tt a major new cross-park
roadway now under construc-
ton. Highway Director John
N. Robertson said. however
that he would be glad to dis
cuss tht subject with residents.
Mr.. Smiths letter asserted
that the widening would reduce
property values, damage front
yards, destroy a large number
Of oak trees, create undesirable
noise and endanger children.
He proposed another possible
route for cross-park traffic -
lTwenty-seventh and Thirty
sixth streets and Broad Branch
road. Ofhcials. however. said
this suggestion did not appear
feasible.
According to Mr.. Smith.
property owners met July Is
and decided to try to halt the
widening. He said the group
registered strenuous protest
at what he called the District S
failure to give adequate notice
of the legally required hearing
which was held April %.

According to one restau-

Longer School Year
Sought in District
Summer Glass
Expansion Is
Also Planned

Dlstrlct scnool omcialS are
planning a stepped-up summer
school program and studying
an extension OF the school year
one more month.
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
said today he expects to report
TO the Board Of Education on
the feasibility extending the
school year an additional
month sometime during the
coming school year.
One week definitely will be
added to the school term for
l95S-59. he said.
Meanwhile. plans to increase
the summer school program
were submitted to board menu
bers yesterday. They were con-
tanned in two items in the fiscal
1860 school budget.
$4,000 More Sought
One item asks for $4,000 for
additional summer school per-
sonnet. This increase" ac-
cording to the budget, Els re-
quested so that the summer
school program can be extended
to more nearly meet the need
for remedial and makeup work
on all grade levels. This pro-
gram could prof1tably be ex-
tended to include more than
twice the number Of pupils cur
rently enrolled. To accomplish
this, it will eventually be nee
essary to increase the funds for
summer school personnel by
many times the $4,000 re-
quested."
Another item asks $1,000 to
cover costs for special summer
school materials. About half
of the $500 pupils now enrolled
pay a 50 fee for special in
struction materials.
Opposed by Hansen
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
told board members yesterday
the fee is contrary to the
principles Of free public educa-
ton and is likely to DISCOURAGE
some pupils who need remedial
work from attending summer
school" He said the entire
cost Of such materials should
be paid from public funds.
He said today there was a
possibility the program could
be expanded to meet the needs
of gifted children along with
those taking remedial work.
On another matter, DR.. Ham
sen announced that the cadet
corps in nine out Of IA senior
and vocational high schools
have been designated as hon
or national cadet corps units"
after inspection by Army off,
GERS.
The schools are: Anacostia,
Coolidge. Dunbar, Eastern,
Phelps, Roosevelt, Springarn,
Western and Wilson.

Goes Shopping
With q Notebook
By GEORGE KENNEDY

A friend who recently
moved here from New York.
where his only acquaintance
with food shops was the
small stores along Madison
avenue that cater TO the
elite, said:
why don't you write
about the wonderful super
markets you have around
Washington They amaze
our foreign visitors more
than our superhighways and
traffic jams"
Wen, the Rambler likes
supermarkets and always
gets scolded for overbuying
when he Is entrusted with
the marketing. And here he
might Nas wen tell one on
himself. He once switched
baskarts. That is he came
upon a cart with several
OF the same articles he had
purchased on top.
He pushed the cart to the
checker, paid for everything
in 1t, toted home two big
paper sacks full of packaged
foods, and wasn't aware of
his error until Mrs. Rambler
unpacked them.
Too late to do anything
about 1t by that time. But
we've always wondered what
the woman, whose cart !
stole, thought.
It's one thing TO shop tyou
always 60 to the same super
market because you know
the location of the things
you WANT. You fill the list
and get out so you won't be
scolded for unauthorized
purchases.

Mideost Crisis Seen as Grim Reality
To Guordsmen Learning Nike Fire
BY RICHARD O'LONE
Star stan Writer

The Middle East crisis is
providing a note of grim reality
for District National Guards
men learning to operate WASH
ington's last line Of air de-
fense-the Nike batteries.
For nearly two weeks men,
bers Of the 340th and 3S0th
Missile Battalions have been
stationed at Nike sites in
nearby Maryland. learning from
Regular Army experts how to
fire the slender, deadly anti
aircraft missiles.
Eventually, after more adj
vanced training, these units will
take over some Nike sites on a
full-time basis. rand will operate
the Hercules missile-a nuclear
weapon slated to replace the
present Nike-Ajax.
This unique training pro-
cedure represents the battalions'
switch to missiles from the
nearly obsolete Comm. anti
aircraft guns.
Their 15-day training period
began just a few days before
United States Marines swarmed
ashore in Lebanon.
One Hour Alert
On at least one Nike site, the
citizen-Soldiers - about one
fourth of them teen-agers-
were learning their vital duties
while the Regular Army in
structors were on a l-hour
alert.
This, according to the COM
manding officer of the Mount
Calvert site. Capt. John Jordan.
means he must be ready to fire
on one hours notice.
Capt. Jordan pointed out he
can fire in a lot less than one
hour, but the alert status meant
that none of his personnel could
go home If they lived more than
an hours drive from the site.
Capt. Thurston Looming. 80,
Of 1906 N street NV, is in
command Of the Guardsmen
training at Mount Calvert site,
located in Groom, Md. amid
rolling tobacco fields about Is
miles from Washington.
He said he was sure his
men. of the 380th Battalion,
were aware of how critical the
world situation is.
Know Importance Of Job
1.-THE only way I can describe
my men is to say they are
dedicated" he said. They
know how important their job
is. 1t costs them time and
money. Some of them give up
their vacations for it,"
When the National Guard
takes over the Nike sites, he
said, one group will remain on
active duty at all times, and
the others will spend their
weekly training periods at the
posts.
The commanding officer Of
the 380th is Lieut.. Col. Andrew
G. Conlyn. of Vienna, Va, an
assistant Corporation Counsel
for the District. He said he
us pleased with the progress his
men have made.
II think some of them got a
little jittery about going on
active duty last week." he said.

For three more days, sirens
will vail across the Maryland
countryside as Guardsmen drill
and drill again.

START WITH THE
FRUITS. First there's the
big orange squeezing ma
chine, fascinating to watch.
A knife halves and separates
each orange, then two cups
descend, squeezing every last
drop of Juice out Of the
orange halves, straining 1t
through a wire mesh.
Now is the time that the
American cornucopia pours
its fruits into the super

peaches and early apples
and berries and nectarines
and sweet corn.
Everything packaged along
the aisles, rice and split peas
and kidney beans and all the
meats on the meat counter.
Poor Lesley Lake, the tall,
gentlemanly, bearded grocer
in Hamburg, N. Y, was fight
ing a losing battle in 1910
when he was trying to show
housewives how much they
could save by buying in the
bulk.
I'll always remember his
black metal bins, almost 4
feet tall and IS inches across
woth a bit of gilded landscape
on the covers illustrative of
Mocha, Java, Ceylon, Colong,
etc. If a woman asked for
Lipton'S Tea (Sir Thomas
was readying another Sham
rock as a challenger for
Americas Cup at the time),
Mr.. Lake would put a pound
package on the counter.
Then he would show her how
much she would save If she
purchased a pound of the
same type of tea which he
would dig out of one of his
bins with a big scoop, pour
1t into a paper sack and
weigh it before her eyes.
