For Heart of Rockville

massive face-lftng job may be in store for
downtown Rockville.
In theory, it could transform the present bust
ness distctwith its saggng old buildings and crazy
quilt street pattern-nto sleek, gracious scommer-
cial and community center.
It could replace narrow, traffic-jammed streets
with broad tree-lined pedestrian malls
1t could create public parks, modern department
stores and large parking lots where ugly shacks and
Uttered alleys now create municipal bights.
And it could allow the downtown area to remain
the hub of community life despite the ctys memorable
suburban sprawl onto surrounding countryside.
Such visionary new Rockville" became dis
tnct possibility last week when the Housing and Home
Finance Agency approved the citys request to take
part in the Federal urban renewal program.
Numerous techncaities must be hurdled before
any such program can begin. Most important, of
course, is the actual planning of the projects deemed
most needed and feasible.
But the first long step has been taken. And it
creates almost unlimited possibilities for imaginative
thinking" says Rockville Mayor Alexander ]. Greene

brary under Peoples Drug

through 36,926 volumes, on

This rate, if it continues, will
result in an annual consumption

Readers checked out SIT

Don't Warm Up
To Retrocession

Maryland officials take a
dim view of the idea Of Civ
ing the District of Columbia
back to the Free State.
Both U. S. Senator's and Rep.
John r. Foley and Montgomery
County Councilmen don't like
the idea put forward this week
by Rep. John l.. Mcmillan Cd
S. CO that District home rule
problems might be overcome II
all except the Federal Govern
ment sections of Washington
were given back to Maryland.
This suggestion was thrown
out by Rep. Mcmillan as he
appeared Monday at the hear.
ings on legislation to give
Washingtonians local self-gov-
eminent.
Said Mcmillan: IT think we
could get such bill out of this
committee (giving the District
back to Maryland)." Three
other committee m e m bers
quickly agreed and Rep. James
c. Davis (D-Ga.) cited a pre-
cedent" for. such action when
the government in 1916 under
President James K. Polk gave
back to Virginia that part Of
the Federal city located south
of the Potomac River.
The proposal - an old one
that keeps coming up - would
carve out a new Federal city
consisting of the downtown
area. Remainder of the city
would be given to Maryland.
The new area would, undoubt-
eddy, incorporate to have its
own government and elect its
own officials. Possibly parts of
suburban Maryland that are not
now incorporated would want to
join such a new city.
Because the proposal keeps
coming up-put forward in all
seriousness by some national
legislators who offer IL as q SOL
utiOn to the Districts "home
rule problem"-the Sentinel this
week asked leading Maryland
officials TO state-in all serious
ness-what they thought Of the
plan. Here are the answers:
Sen. John Marshall Butler: II
have been a strong opponent OF
such a proposal. The financial
situation of the District is
desperate and critical. Further
more, the high crime rate in
Washington is deplorable.
People are afraid to go out of
their houses after dark. No, I'm
bitterly opposed to the proposal.
There are no prospects of a
real possibility"
Sen. j. Glenn BealI: A spokes-
man said the lawmaker has
long been prepayment OF the
home rule measure for the Dis
trict of Columbia and has
worked hard for its passage. He
said the Senator would not even
consider anything else as that
could be construed to mean that
he is backing up from that posi-
ton. He said Beall would keep
on fighting for home rule for
the District Of Columbia.
