Federal Spending
Is Not Cure-AH
By Rep. Dewitt S. Hyde

l think 1t is important to emphasize the
Presidents remarks on ending the business slump.
He said that Federal spending is not the entire
answer in fighting economic recession He urged
against any attempt to make the spending of
Federal money the most important factor in the
Nations economy. The upturn in the economy
will be mainly the result of increased buying on
the part of American citizens
The Federal Government, though, can and is
doing many things to encourage the revival of
consumer buying. The President and his economic
advisers are not leaving anything to chance They
are acting.
The Government has, and is taking number
OF steps in the direction of reversal of the down
ward trend in business activity. Among them are
steps within present law to promote an increase
in home construction More home building means
more jobs in thousands of communities and direct
ly helps many industries. The President has also
ordered the release of an additional SIT million
for military housing and other Federally-supplied
building programs
The President has asked Congress 30 act
promptly on various stimulants TO home construc-
ton, and for sharply increased spending In the
Urban Renewal of Slum Clearance program.
expect the Congress to provide the necessary
legislation.
Both the President and the Congress are
seeking ways Of speeding up the Federal Highway
construction program. Here again we have
Federally-supported activity that provides jobs
not only in actual road building but in the many
and diverse industries which contribute the ma
terials and the equipment.
Without any new legislation, the Government
has stepped up its civil public works program and
contractletting for major national defense items.
Critics of the Administrators handling of
the business slump ask for more Government
spending. The fact is, between defense, highway,
and other programs we are now spending billions
more than has ever been spent in peacetime
In this connection would like to report that
contracts have been let for improvements in sew
eral Federal buildings in Maryland Among them
is a contract for drawings and specifications for
ar-conditioning painting, and lighting the Post

Rockcrest Primary
School Hits Snag

Montgomery School Boards plans to exchange
land with the city of Rockville hit snag this
week.
The School Board needs a piece of the Rock
crest recreation area as site for primary school
to relieve the overcrowded Twinbrook Elemen-
tary Rockville wants part of the Lincoln Junior
High land for recreation area So they planned
a switch.
However, some 20 residents adjacent to the
Rockcrest area asked the Mayor and Council this
week to turn thumbs down the deal.
Their spokesman James M. Wyckoff said that
a school there would create a traffic hazard de.
preciate property values, and deny use of the
recreation area to the residents The Rockcrest
builder had granted the approximately five-acre
tract to the city specifically as park and recrea-
ton land.
Lester WEIGH, head of site and planning work
for the board of education, told 1.-THE Mayor and
Council that this was the only available site for
the proposed primary school without resorting to
expensive condemnation School officials plan to
build GO by 80 building on less than two acres
of land to house kindergarten through third grade
children in Rockcrest
The Mayor and Council will give their deci-
sion next week in advance of the County Council
budget hearing which includes an appropriation
request for the Twinbrook Primary.

d OCkVILLE'S energetic mayor, Dickran
N \. Hovsepian, surprised most of his con-
stituents last week with the announcement
that he would not seek his third two-year
term in that office His departure will be a
loss
Even Hovsepians die-hardest political
foes must admit that during his four years
in office the city has taken big strides for
ward. 1t would be an exhibition of exceeding
bad grace-if not downright dishonesty-for
his political opposites to deny, or try to
minimize the importance of an extraor-
dinarily long list of achievements that can be
credited to Hovsepian's administration.
The mayor and the crusaders for reform
associated with him took over the reins in
1854 and ever since 1855 there have been
annual tax reductions. The tax rate, while
major Improvements have been effected and
city government services were expanded, has
been reduced from 80 cents in 1855 to u
cents today This despite the fact that firm
solutions have already been provided for the
acute water shortages and sewerage short
conings that plagued the city in 1854 and
provided the spark that ignited the good
government" movement
Aside from the SISTER City, and "All
America City, honors brought to Rockville
by the last two administrations, there has
been complete modernization of the city
government. Rockville now has broad base
on which to build for its future population
growth. The foundation in 1854 was ancient
and shahy
The list of "firsts" since Hovsepian took
office is long one. The first comprehensive
budget and Swear construction program
were adopted. For the first time the city
didn't have to borrow money at the end of
the year to pay its bills. Agendas and
minutes have been published, annual reports
have been offered, formal meeting procedure
has been established, merit system for city
employees has been created it has taken more
than two years but complete codification of
city laws has been achieved. Ordinances
adopted include those covering coming, roads,
personnel, the city manager, parks, recrea-
ton, trash and garbage, dogs and gas code
A planning commission and a housing au-
thority have been created and are function
ing; there is now permanent year-round city
voter registration; city recreation areas have
grown from three to 10 in number, Glenview
Mansion was purchased as a Civic Center
A long-range, ST million storm drainage plan
has been set in motion. And citizen partici-
patton in government has been stepped up
through creation of active citizen advisory
committees.
Rockville residents have ample justifica-
ton for showing some pride in these achieve
ments chalked up, surprisingly, in only four
years and Mayor Hovsepian should take
a bow.

Navy Keeps
Close Watch
On Red Ships

The State Department. has
notified Russian response to
a Soviet complaint-that the
United States Navy is keeping
close watch on shipping in the
ocean approaches to the United
States.
Moscow had protested that
United States aircraft had
buzzed Russian trawlers in in
ternational waters near the
grand banks southeast of Nova
Scotia.
State Department Press on
Ger Lincoln White said yeSter-
day the Soviet complaint was
made about mid-April and had
received a prompt answer.
Privately, .informants said
the behavior of the Russian
trawler feet along sea and air
routes between the United
States east coast and Europe
is suspicious in some respects.
The Russian vessels were
said to be in waters which are
not normally heavily fished.
