Federal and State Civilian De-
tense officials ignored the home
shelter plan advocated by Mont
gomery County's CD program
when they spoke in Silver
Spring last week.
Priority in this county is to
be the shelter" said Admir-. G.
Roy Hartwig, director of Mont
gomery County CD, fatty.
Addressing the Silver Spring
Board of Trades first fall din
ner meeting, it was evident the
other speakers, Eugene Quinlan,
deputy assistant director for
Federal, State and local plan
ming, OCDM; Sherley Ewing,
Maryland state director of CD,
and John Sullivan, Regional 2
director over seven states,
avoided speaking on the plan
supported by this county's CD
authorities.
The only encouraging note
was voiced by Sullivan who i'm
piled that evacuation and shell
tiers go together like bread and
butter. 1--WE must be prepared
for as many courses of action as
plans allow" he said adding
We've had a reaction some may
not like"
Montgomery County's report
is most essential he told the
group of over 100 composed of
more guests than members.
Evacuation is worthwhile
tactic with less warning time
but we recognize the need for
another tactic" the 35 year old
administrator stated.
Evacuation was favored by
Quinlan. There's no prepared
fall out shelter in Silver Spring
except someone's basement.
Evacuees can get to Western
Maryland just well-over mil
lion homes could give us room
for shelter" he declared.
Ewing called for a unified
plan of operation and coordina.

The Residents Club now is
holding regular meetings at the
Terraces Community Building.
Last week, the group heard an
address by Mrs. Florence Gar
rett, supervising nurse of the
County Health Department and
the Civil Defense program.
Mrs. Garrett discussed the
Civil Defense home protection
program, and individual pre-.
paredness for various kinds of
public disaster.

Municipal governments In Mary.
land have a sort of credit" or
bank account with the State so
far as these Federal funds are
concerned.
In Rockville's case, there Is
$4,000 in it's account at this
time. The amount can be
greater or smaller. Until last
July l, for instance, the city had
a credit of $4,000 with the
State. But under a continuing
arrangement between the State
and municipalities, these monies
must be expended three years
after being allocated or accrue
to the State. In asmuch as new
amounts are allocated to mum.
clpalities each year, the balance
remaining constantly changes.
Vital to Federal aid for the
proposed Halpine rd. overpass
is requirement that a road to
be so benefited must be enlarged
by at least one lane and another
that the road affected must con.
meet two State roads. In this
case, both Rockville Pike and
Veirs Mill I'd. are State roads.
Meanwhile, should joint plans
to build the proposed bridge go
awry, neither the County, City,
State, nor even the Interstate
Commerce Commission can
force the B&O to build the
bridge.
j. D. Buscher, special assist
ant to the Attorney General
with the State Roads Commits.
sion, and a man familiar with
State BIO issues, said this
week that he is Extremely
dougtful' that the State Roads
Commissioner anyone else
could force or require B&O to
build anything it did not care to,
and that includes an overpass,
of course.
He explained that the Mary
land State Legislature more
than 100 years ago" vested in
BIO nearly iron-clad immunity
from community demands.
However, he said, in some cases
local authorities can demand
elimination or an overpass, but
they have to be willing to share
the lions portion of reconstruc.
ton.
At the same time, the city OF
Rockville has another grade
crossing it's worried about and
that is the Frederick ave. cross.
ing. The city already has pre-
pared a plan for the Mayor and
City Council calling for an over.
pass to connect Lincoln ave ana
North Washington st.
But inasmuch as the new
crossing would not connect
State roads, it is ineligible for
Federal aid. City Engineer John
Gray has estimated that the
proposed bridge would cost
So3o,OOO. 1t is entirely within
the City whose sole responsible
ity it would be.

County and City Hold
Grade Crossing Farley

Plans for a traffic bridge
over the BRO Railroad
tracks at Halpine I'd. in
Rockville were the subject of
talks yesterday between city
and County officials.
The joint conference followed
by two and three weeks twin
train accidents on the Bro line
at and near the Randolph rd.
grade crossing South of Halpine
I'd.
No one was hurt in accidents
that saw a freight train de-
molish a stalled bus and a pas
senger train derailed.
But the coincidence of the &C.
cidents focused attention on the
inherent hazards at grade cross
ings, no matter how well they
are guarded. Still remembered
is the tragic 1895 bus.train col
lision in Rockville in which ii
school children lost their lives.
The County and City share
responsibility for any change or
improvement of the Halpine I'd.
grade crossing. inasmuch as
abutting land lies both in the
City and County.
And both have recognized this
cO-respOnsibility. The City has
set $4,000 aside for planning
Halpine I'd. bridge while the
County budgeted $4,000 for
plans this year.
Walter A. Scheiber, Rock
ville's City Manager, said both
governments hope to complete
plans this fiscal year and are
hopeful that construction of a
bridge can begin in the reason
ably near future.
Neither can, nor does. expect
any monetary assistance from
BIO, which granted an ease
ment to the County to build Hal.
pine I'd. across it tracks.
At the same time. no opposi-
ton TO traffic bridge over the
tracks is expected from the rail
road company, which recognizes
the safety advantages of such
structure as compared to mere
grade crossing.
But bridge is expensive. any
where you put one. and particu-
larry so in this case. This is
true because the overpass would
not merely be constructed in
existing Halpine rd. right of
way, but rather TO serve a re-
aligned Halpine I'd.
Some preliminary City plans
have called for a Strengthened
Halpine I'd. emerging at Rock.
Vile Pike in the vicinity of Rol
Inns ave-, several blocks South of
II present terminus with the
pike.
Scheiber has estimated that
the new bridge and its APP
proaches alone will cost be-
tween 100000 and 100000. ir.
respective of the costs neces-
sary to realign Halpine I'd. This |
Is a huge expenditure for the |
city completely out Of the |
question. And the County does |
not even contemplate shoulder. |
ing the fiscal load alone.
Both look to the Federal /
Bureau of Roads for funds ad.
ministered through the State.

FAIRvIEW BOY

Richland County Coroner r.
Homer Gorder said the parents
were at work at a Fairview market
and left Martin and his sister,
Sherry, 10 months, in the care Of
Mrs. Art Leens.
Mrs. Leens told Fire Chief Louis
McCloskey she smelled smoke
while washing dishes about IL
I'M. She carried the baby outside,
then returned but was unable to
find Martin before the heat and
smoke became so bad she had to
leave.
When firemen entered the house
they found the boy in the closet

suscitation failed. The cornor said
