Lake Burcrofj
Mud Funds

Lake Bancroft residents today
won their fight for county funds
to end a mud problem they
claimed threatened the exist.
ence Of their lake and the value
OF their expensive homes.
The Board Of County Super
visors decided to go $3.50 on a
$4,000 silt project that would
keep mud from pouring into the
lake out Of Holmes and Trippes
Runs.
Bancroft spokesman said their
money would come from a cor
poration which owns the beach
and the lake itself. Each Bar
croft homeowner pays $50 q lot
each year to the corporation.
The lake. which is man-made
is hazardous for swimming in
certain sections and parts Of IL
cannot be used because Of Its
heavy silt content, Bancroft
spokesman explained. They pro-
posed a project that would in.
clude special basins to catch the
silt and restore the lake to the
state it was In before home de.
velopment began on its shore,
in 1851.
The silt that has poured into
the lake comes from develop
ments upstream and threaten,
the value Of the homes and the
very existence Of the lake" &C.

Chalk Buys
Montgomery
Bus Lines

Plans were under way today
for o. Roy Chalk, president Of
D. C. Transit Co., to take COM
plete control OF the bus lines
of Montgomery County.
Mr.. Chalk announced nego-
tiations for purchase of the
Inter- County Transit Co., which
operates all Montgomery lines
not now in the hands of D. C.
Transit.
The sale will be completed
as soon as the way is cleared
by the Maryland Public Service
Commission and the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
Inter-County Transit is q
subsidiary Of VIVA Transit Co.
which contested Mr.. Chalk foi
the right to take over the
Montgomery lines formerly op-
Grated by Suburban Transit Co
nter-County bought the
Suburban lines last January fol
$4,000, but the transfer was
tied up in public hearings until
Mr.. Chalk recently withdrew
objections.
However. Inter- County still
has not officially completed the
purchase Of Suburban. As soon
as the regulatory commissions
give final approval, the way will
be cleared for D. C. Transit to
buy assets Of Inter- County.
Earl M. Foreman, attorney
for VIVA Transit, said the sale
would not include 80 new
buses Inter-County put in op-
GRAFTON in Montgomery County
this year. Those buses will be
operated on WMA's Prince
Georges County lines, he said
One source said the contract
for the sale TO Mr.. Chalk was
signed two weeks ago. The
price was not announced, but
was said to be many, many
thousands" more than the
amount paid by Inter-County
to the Suburban owner.
Because the new Inter-
County buses are not included
in the deal. the physical assets
involved were said to be negli-
gible. However the sale will
give Mr.. Chalk a monopoly or
Montgomery bus service.

D.C.Rent Subsidies
Urgedfor Displaced
Way to Relieve
Public HOUSING
ShortugeSough'
BY ALFRED ALIBRANDO
star Stan Writer

1 a ~~@e@
Direct rental subsidies for
low-income families were pro-
posed today as one solution to
a shortage Of public housing
for persons displaced from slum
clearance projects.
James G. Banks, chief Of re-
location for the District Rede-
velopment Land Agency, told
the Washington Housing As
sociation that "a flexible ap.
proach to the job Of rehousing
low-income families must in
clude direct housing subsidies"
| Mr.. Banks said there viii not
be enough housing units with
-four or more bedrooms to meet
1.-THE needs Of the city's slurn
clearance program during the
next 10 years.
Efficient System Needed
with a well-organized and
efficiently run system of inspec-
tons and a careful selection Of
recipients, low-income families
can use that portion of the
existing housing supply which
meet their needs" said Mr..
Banks.
"As family incomes increase.
subsidies would be reduced and
when the family becomes self
sustaining, as many do. it would
not be required to move, but
would remain to stabilize both
the family groups and the
neighborhood."
Mr.. Banks noted that public
housing officials here have sug-
gested purchase of large older
dwellings for public housing
use. He said that while this
would relieve the immediate
shortage of public housing
units, there were many reasons
why 1t should not be done.
a.. 1t is not going to be
practical to take an increasingly
large number of structures OF
the tax rolls" he said.
Cites Best Solution
THE best leng-term solu-
ton would be direct housing
subsidies to families with care
Iful supervision by the housing
Authority and cooperation
from other appropriate hous-
ing and welfare agencies.
! Mr.. Banks said that while
private housing has been AIDE
quate since the beginning Of
the slum clearance program in
1858, new projects in North
west would eliminate hundreds
of dwelling units and create
an entirely new problem. The
relocation official said nearly
10000 families will be displaced
by public action other than
Stun clearance between now
and 1868. He said this has
to be considered as part of the
overall rehousing problem.

Civil Service Benefits
It also would provide benefits
for transferred employees "as
nearly equivalent as practical
to those in the Federal civil
service, including continued
civil service retirement and
Federal employees group life
insurance coverage."
Mr.. Flemming also said his
department is interested in
cleaning up the Potomac River.
He said discussions now are
going on in the Government on
the subject. The time has
come when we must mean busi-
ness" he said.
Mr.. Flemming announced
that during the visit of Soviet
Premier Khrushchev proposals
were discussed for an expansion
Of the medical exchange pro-
gram between the United States
and Russia.
Scientists Would Visit
The United States was rep
resented by DR.. Leroy E. Bur-
ney, surgeon general Of the
Public Health Service. and the
Soviet Union by DR.. A. M.
Markov.
Under the plan top medical
scientists Of both nations would
exchange visits to study meth
DDS Of organization and re-
search programs.
They also would exchange
scientific and technical in
formation ION an accelerated
and systematic basis" Mr..
Fleming said. Specific research
projects would be sought to
provide for co-ordinated studies
by the two countries.
Mr.. Fleming added that ex-
changes would be initiated be-
tween research scientists to
work in the laboratories Of
both countries.
