E. Brooke Lee, one Of the
early inhabitants of Silver
Spring, has advised members
Of its board Of trade to support
more high-rise apartments to
maintain the city's volume OF
business.
Mr.. Lee. speaking at the
organizations 25th anniversary
celebration yesterday, urged
that the board foster large
apartment construction to COM
bat the competition Of shop
ping centers at Wheaton and
Princes Georges Plaza.
Nearly 5000 new apartment
units have been built near the
silver Spring business district, u
Mr.. Lee said. I'VE enjoy an
excellent road map connecting
with both Washington and ad-
Jacent Maryland and 1t will be
helpful to everyone to continue
the location Of high-rise apart
ments eastward in appropriate
locations between Colesville
road and Sligo avenue"
Mr.. Lee, whose family owned
several farms in what is now
downtown Silver Spring, was
amajor a factor In the city'S real
estate development. He Is
credited with backing the city's
first public parking lots. which
became q model plan used by
other communities across the
Nation. =
One Of his contemporaries
in early Silver Spring. Donald
Claggett, referred to Mr.. Lee
as "the father Of Silver

of sites for is other schools in
cluding West Bethesda Junior
High and Wheaton, Kensington
High.
In other business at the joint
session. county council mem-
bers urged school officials to
start earlier on school construc-
tion so that new schools would
not have to be opened In the
middle Of the year as often
happens now.
Mason A. Butcher, county
manager, suggested that con-
struction funds for new schools
be appropriated earlier so that
they could be started through
out the year rather than sew
eral at once each time new
money becomes available.
Movable Walls Planned
The council was told school
officials plan to use movable
walls in building Wheaton,
Kensington High so that ex-
pansion and air conditioning
can be added later at less cost.
School Supt. C. Taylor Whit
tier said the moveable walls
would permit changing the in
terror Of the school as educa-
tional needs change.
The county and school heads
laid to. rest, at least for the
present. a long-standing differ
ence Of opinion over auditing
procedures.
The county's auditor said
some time ago that the school
board should provide the county
with finance information, such
as a balance sheet on -finan.

school board said it would do
so.
The idea Of a check Of school
board books by the county's au-

ever.

Study Asked

Walter N. Tobriner, District
School Board president. says
properly qualified seniors in
District high schools should be
offered the opportunity to
study such foreign languages
as Arabic, Hindu and 1ndone-
sian.
He described the proposal
yesterday as a possible first
step in countering what he
called the advantage Russians
have over Americans when
they go to foreign countries as
engineers, scientists and tech
nicians.
Their real motive, he said, is
to spread communism. And to
aid them, they can find special
lists in as many as so languages,
Mr.. T0briner asked that
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
investigate the desirability OF
offering courses in some OF
those tongues to seniors in the
honors and college preparatory
groups. He said he got the
idea from q magazine article
by Supreme Court Justice
Douglas.
Mr.. Tobriner said 20 univer-
sites in the United States
teach Arabic.
Mr.. Tobriner said the Dis
trict students could take the
courses either before or after
regular school hours If they
could not be worked into the
regular school day.
The board directed DR.. Ham
sen to study the possibility oi

party would be marked in favor
of the pact.
Reason for Stand
Mr.. Rinehart said the Gen.
trail Committees opposition to
the proposal is based on "a
strong belief that there is no
reason whatsoever for Mary
land to relinquish any of her
authority and jurisdiction over
the Potomac to any other
State at this time" He added:
Maryland owns the Potomac
to the Virginia shoreline and
consequently it should exercise
certain jurisdiction over the
river. 1t seems inconceivable
that anyone who is sincerely
interested in our State could
ever contemplate sUnrendering
any Of this authority without
reason"
Mr.. Rinehart'S statement
came after Senator Beall, DEM
ocrat Of Maryland. last night
denounced the compact.
Senator Beall called the COM
pact q "reprehensible surrender
Of Maryland property and
Maryland rights to another
State, giving US absolutely
nothing in return"
The Senator, in a formal
statement, declared, THE one
sided Potomac River compact
was instigated by Virginians
for the benefit Of Virginians.
Favorable for Virginia
"Virginians are, of course, in
favor Of the proposal as drawn
because it assures them Of
equal rights in a wholly Mary
land river while conceding
nothing in return"
IF the people of Maryland
reject the compact, no doubt
the case before the Supreme
Court will be pushed. But this
should not scare us into
approving a bad compact"
Senator Beall asserted.
The Potomac River compact,
scheduled to replace one which
has been in effect since 1785,
delineates fishing. grabbing and
oystering rights in the Potomac,
which is owned by Maryland.

The top Army doctors in Hawaii
