In Rockville

Rockville got a surprise
this week: it learned that
its population was $4,000.
Up until this week, everyone
had thought the population was
about 1900. But a group of
survey experts that have been
combing the city for informa-
ton in connection with a forth
coming master plan, now say
the old figure should be revised
upward by 5000.
The surveyors are Ernest E.
Blanche Associates Of Kensing-
ton hired to find out what
makes the city tick.
In an earlier report, the
group said that the average
Rockville family has four mem

Need for Second
Project

Future Studies
Would Ascertain
Required Size
By Bob Bernstein
Staff Reporter

Rockville Housing Au-
thority is considering build
ing a second public housing
development to handle the
overflow from Lincoln ter,
their first project.
Size of the new unit would be
determined by future studies
involving both the City Author
ity and the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority.
The recently-completed 65-unit
Terrace is now half-occupied,
and further applications are be-
ing processed daily. 1t was de.
signed to relieve slum living
conditions in Lincoln Park,
Rockville's Negro district.
Present indications are that
the second development would
need to be about the same size
or larger. ase
without having gone into 10
in detail, VIC think that Il win
take at beast q development OF
the same size," said Joseph
TarallO, RIA chairman.
He said 80 families were set.
tied in Lincoln Terrace by Tues
day, with seven more scheduled
to move in by this weekend.
The Terrace will be formally
dedicated in public ceremonies
to be held sometime late in June,
Tarallo said.
Search for a site for the sec.
ond development will be under.
taken as soon asst the Terrace Is
fully occupied and the Public
Housing Authority has given its
approval to the new project, he
said.

thing left to do is open the doors
Friday for the crowds expected
to arrive from all sections of the
county.
The promotional event, known
as "Old Fashioned Days and
Treasure Hunt" has for its
theme quality merchandise at
old-fashioned prices" From the
prices advertised in a separate
section in this weeks Sentinel,
it appears the merchants have
outdone themselves in proving
the theme.
Over last weekend, some 49,
900 numbered cards were mailed
TO residents of Rockville and the
upper county. Each store par
ticipating in the treasure hunt
will have posted Friday and Sat
urday from one to four num-
bers lin most cases - four).
There are over 200 prizes and
somewhere in the upper county
are over 200 lucky persons who
have received'cards bearing win
ming numbers. The trick is to
take your card to the stores par

cause we didn't know who it

Thus did Charles Heck, IA
year-old Bethesdan, reveal the
paralyzing fear that gripped
him and his companion, George
Jump, Is, during the Ia black,
anxious and icy hours they
were trapped inside 105foot
water tank outside Rockville.
With the coming of the Mon
day morning dawn, the boys
found courage to cry out. Their
yells were heard by a passing
worker, and the most harrow
ing night of their young lives
came to an end.
George, who also lives in Be
thesda, explained that "the only
way we knew it was morning
was by the light that came
through five little pinholes."
The boys tribulations began
Sunday afternoon after they
had been visiting the White
Flint Golf Course driving range
on Rockville Pike. Seeking ex
element, they decided to ex
plore the huge water tank or

Animal Shelter officials and
the public alike are girding for

phone calls from distraught pet
owners, demanding their dogs

The County will beef up its
Animal Shelter force by two
more men and already has pur'
chased two new animal trucks
At the same time, Bucklin said
that applications by llomeowners
for permits to build wire and
other fences around their yards
has increased many, many
times" over the normal rate OF
applications. He attributed this
flood Of applications solely to
the impending dog control law
On the other hand, hundreds
of owners are buying leashes
and collars and are just plair
seeking advice from pet shop
owners. Typical of shops be
seiged by worried dog owners is
the Pet Supply Shop in Silver

Splits On
Jobs

Montgomery County's
Democrats were sharply
divided this week over the
reappointment of Frank L.
Hewitt, Silver Spring real
estate broker, to the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary
Commission.
Hewitt was nominated by a
five to two vote by the Dem
ocratic Central Committee. And
he was reappointed, again by a
five to two vote, by the Coun-
ty Council at its weekly meet
ing.
Passed over by the Council
was Darius v. Phillips, Bethes.
da engineer and builder, who
was choice of Council Presi-
dent Stella B. Werner and
Councilman Stanley B. Frosh.
Phillips promptly issued a
soaring statement in which he
accused the Council majority of
being interested only ''in pat,
rOnage for their political ma
chine" He declared:
II represented the liberal,
good government people
against the Ward Caddington
machine, and the political ma
chine took me to the cleaners"
Caddington is chairman of
the Democratic State Central
Committee, and leader of the
"old guard" faction which was
challenged in last springs pri-
mary by insurgent liberals
known as Democrats for SO.
Phillips said the Council has
by-passed competent, trained
and experienced administrators
and engineers" in order to ap-
point purely political appOin-
tees such as retired restaura-
tours, real estate brokers, mems
wear merchants and insurance
men,"
The Sanitary Commission,
which is responsible for water
and sewer service in most of
Montgomery, has had heavy
influence on the pattern of its
development.
In the 1858 primary cam
paign and again last week in
the party Central Committees
closed meeting, Hewitt was ac-
cused of having a conflict of
interest"
Uneasy party leaders are not
sure whether the issue was the
final echo of the last election,
or the first fOrewarning of the
next one.
When the Council debated
Hewitt's appointment in open
session, Mrs. Werner delivered
a soft-spoken but clear warning
that the issue touches "a funda-
mental difference within the
Democratic Party"
She limited that returning
Hewitt to the Sanitary Commits.

on future appointments"

of the Peabody recommendations
Wayne Zuck, member of the Sid
ney PTA, presented the recon-
mendations of the commission as
they related to the office of State
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton. The group felt that the re-
commentators which recommen-
ded that the state superintendent
be made an executive officer sub
ject to the direction of the state
board OF education had consider
able merit. No definite conclusions
were reached as to the manner of
selecting the state superintendent,
but in view of the fact that the
state board should have control
over the office, ii was generally
felt that some reasonable method
OF selecting the person to hold
the office which would insure a
reasonable continuity to the office
holder was necessary. 1t was 1elt
that election of the state board
of education was not a superior
method of selecting this board as
against appointment. The reason
for this was that the state of
is so large it is impos-
sible for the voters to make them
selves adequately familiar with
the qualifications of a person
seeking to be elected to a state
wide office of this character.
Otto T. Habedank, area chair
man Of the Citizens Committee on
Education acted as general chair
nan of the discussion group.
Coffee was served in the after
noon through the courtesy of Mrs.
Thomas and Agatha Varty.
