Mayor Clinton asked his audi

There must be willingness to

Mayor.

Needless Tragedy
2 Die in Slun Blaze
BY Bob Bernstein
STAFF Reporter

Two little girls died needlessly in Rock
vile Sunday night.
Official cause of death was a flash
fire that swept through the cramped,
squalid howell that they and 10 others
called home.
The girls might be alive today, ex-
cept for the confusion and controversy
that have kept the doors locked on Lincoln
Terrace, Rockville's first public housing
project.
Not so feet from the fire-gutted shack
stands one of eight handsome red brick
buildings that comprise Lincoln Terrace.
To the casual observer, the apartments
look ready for occupancy - and have for
months.
But today - seven full months after
the first 81 families were to have moved
in - the Terrace is still ghost town with
out a single resident.
In stark contrast to the attractive
Terrace units, at least 16 filthy, crumbling,
city-condemned ''houses" provide the only
available living quarters for scores of near
by Lincoln Park residents.

Teacher
Pay Cut

Chopping of 81 million
from the proposed county
budget by lowering starting
teachers pay from $4,000 to
$4,000 was urged this week
by the Allied Civic Group.
The alliance of Silver Spring
area civic organizations also
recommended that maximum
teacher pay be reached in 16
years, instead Of II as proposed
in the budget.
In other steps, the group
asked:
o Conversion of Carver High
School (for Negroes) into an
integrated junior high and con-
struction of a new school ad-
ministration building. The re-
sulting elimination Of a pro-
posed new West Rockville Jun
ior High would save 100000.
o Disapproval of a proposed
general four per cent county
employee salary hike.

COuntyLikes Idea
Of$$$ from US.

County officials are en-
Enthusiastically backing be-
hind proposed legislation
that would provide federal
contributions in lieu of taxes
for certain government tax
exempt holdings.
The bill was drafted by Sen.
Hubert M. Humphrey and is
now being considered by the
Government Operations Commit
tee, of which Humphrey is chair
man.
In stressing the bills impor-
lance to the county, Mrs. Stella
B. Warner, president of the
County Council, pointed out that
Federal property here would
yield more than 81 million If it
were taxed as private real es-
tate.
This tax in turn would repre-
sent about 40 cents on the aver
age property owners tax rate
next year.
AS drawn, however, the legis-
lation would provide compensa-
ton for only a small part Of the
total Federal holdings.
One restriction specifies pay.
ments would be made only for
real estate purchased by the
Government since 1850. Another

tivities.
County officials said they are
not certain which Federal In
stallations in Montgomery Coun-
ty would qualify for the in-lieu
aid, since the definition of the
term Service" Is not made clear.
Also, it is not certain whether
construction of new facilities
after 1850 on land purchased be-
fore 1850 (as, for example, at
MID would qualify under the
bills terms.
But most officials agree that
the legislation would represent
a big first step toward Federal
recognition of the difficulties
created by tax-exempt installa
lions.
One provision would set up a
commission to study the whole
matter in more detail.
