appointed in February.
The Committee, originally set
.up to find. "A suitable Sister City

week with a new charter that
charges the committee to main
tain relations with Pinneberg.
Following this directive, Kasai
is negotiating for an exchange
visit by Pinneberg's Buerger-
meister Herman Glissman to
Rockville. Mayor Dickran How

mote the relationship. This will

projects are the compilation of a
Photographic album of typical
Rockville scenes similar to the
one from Pinneberg sent here al

the American Library series OF
the USIA of 200 paperbound
American classics to be present
