Town officials, farmers, rural
pastors and housewives from
the Gaithersburg- Washington
Grove area yesterday described
airplanes as "whirlygigs" and
"noisemakers" and declared
they wanted no part of a pro-
posed $750,000 airport in their
community.
Speaking at a Montgomery

acre industrial air park, would
be an unfortunate case Of
Spot-zoning."
Appeals Board members took
the matter under consideration
as the hearing ended. They
are expected to rule within
three or four weeks on the de-
veloper's request for a special
exception permit to operate an
airport just north of Smiths
Corner, between Gaithersburg
and Laytonsville.
Industrial ZOning Asked
officers of the Montgomery
County Air Park, Inc, have
applied separately for 1879 acres
of industrial rezoning border
ing the airfield. The recon-
ing request was argued before
the county council on Septem-
Der 10. At the hearing, council
members strongly implied that
their ruling on the industrial
zone request would depend to
a great extent on the outcome
of the developers petition for
an airport permit from the
appeals board.
One group Of area landowners
who favored the flying field
were represented by j. C. Webb,
whose 180-acre property adj
joins the air park tract. He
said the Snouffer School Road
Citizens Association recently ap-
proved the airf1eld if it is oper-
ated without training flights
for student pilots. s
Opponents Are Vehement
The mayor and three town
councilmen from Washington

against the proposal. Mayor

board to wait until a master
plan for the area is adopted
by nearby Maryland planners.

State teacher salary minimums.
He plugged also for a state
wide campaign by the teach
ers association and the Mary
land Congress of Parents and
Teachers in behalf of the
teacher salary program.
The teachers association has
proposed q two-year program
to raise State minimum teach
er salaries from its $4,000
$4,000 range to $4,000-$6,0 900.
Accuses Committee
The com mittee which
prompted Mr.. Raver's outburst
is headed by William S. James,
Democrat of Hartford County.
At Gov. Tawes' request it is
studying demands for teacher
and State employee salary in
creases, and long range fiscal
problems of the State.
Mr.. Raver's denunciation of
the committee came at a joint
meeting of some $50 leaders of
the teachers association and
the PTA congress being held
here on legislative programs.
He charged that the commit
tee was not giving serious con-
sideration to the teacher asso-
cations program.
He said also that the pro-
gram would increase basic State
aid for classrooms from $1,000
to $1,400 and would require a
county to put up IS cents in
stead of rs cents per 500 as its
tax share of the State program.
Charges Secrecy Curtain
He charged that the commit
tee had put a curtain of
secrecy" around its activities.
--evertheless, he said, he had
learned that the committee is
considering recommending:
l. That the State share of
increasing minimum salaries be
held to "$5 million or less" in
stead of the two-year SIS mil
lion program being requested.
2. That teacher salary in
creases be tied in with salary
increases requested by other
State employees.
8. That it would be wrong
for the State legislature to
adopt program extending for
more than one year.
4. That any additional aid be
used at the top of the salary
scale rather than at the bottom.
Cites ''Piddling Approach"
Mr.. Raver added that he OBJ
jected to all of these approaches
and said that "a committee is
taking this piddling approach
at a time when the State is in
the best financial position it
has been in since World War
II"
The executive secretary said
that the State surplus is off1ci-
ally expected to be SIG million
at the end of the present fiscal
year and that Gov. Tawes has
said it may go to $40 million.
The association spokesman,
took a beating in the wild
windup of the 1859 legislature
as the House of Delegates adj
journed without passing a four
year teacher pay plan. He
singled out Delegate Blair Lee
III, Democrat of Montgomery,
for special criticism.
