Delay on Auto
Fune Control
Device Urged
District Advised
To Survey Need
Before Acting

All O1uCIdI OI LIle AuIOLuODll6
Manufacturers Association, Inc,
has recommended that the Dis
trict delay requiring controls
on automobiles to reduce fumes
until the need for them is clear
ly shown.
Harry A. Williams, managing
director of the automobile asso-
citation, said in a letter to En-
gineer Commissioner A. C.
Welling. released yesterday that
the first step in an air pollution
control program should be "a
complete survey and analysis
similar to the one made In
Louisville, KY"
"Such a survey" Mr.. Will
liams said, would indicate the
possible relative significance OF
motor vehicle emissions in the
total air pollution problem OF
that area"
Mr.. Williams said the role
Of auto fumes in air pollution
other than the Smog occurring
in California has not been de-
termined.
Calls Action Premature
"It would, therefore, appear
to be premature to require any
expenditure by motorists to
control or reduce the emissions
of unburned hydrocarbons in
areas not suffering from pho
tochemical smog," he said.
Under regulations proposed
by Commissioner Welling G,
blowby devices to eliminate
crankcase fumes would be re-
quired on all cars registered in
the District, starting with the
1862 models.
Cost of the blowby con-
trolls has been estimated at
about $40.
A public hearing will be held
at 10 am. August "a in the
District Building on the pro-
posed regulations to reduce car
fumes.
Commissioner yelling, who
is leaving tomorrow for a new
assignment, said he had turned
Mr.. Williams letter over to 1t
Col. Charles S. MacVeigh, as
sistant Engineer Commissioner
Opposes Delay
Col. MacVeigh said he does
not favor delaying action or
the Districts program until &
survey has been completed.
I'm told by competent au
thorities that we've had sr11oI
in this area twice SO far thi
year, although it might no
have been as bad as the Lo
Angeles type" Col. MacVeigl
said.
I'VE think it is self-eviden
that, in the Washington area
the car fumes are contributing
to air pollution. Washingol
} has no heavy industry, but W
do have thousands of cars. S.
we are pretty sold on the ide;
that we ought to cut down OF
the emission Of fumes from
cars"
He added that, while blowby
devices would take care only o.
crankcase fumes. it is probable
that, in a year or so, a prac'
tical after-burner device will
be developed to get rid of fumes
from exhaust pipes.

NOT ENOUGH CHICKENS
Changed Times Hit Feed Store
By BARNARD LETTER
Star Stan Writer


James NJ. Simpson, 80,
leaned back in his chair puffed
a briar pipe thoughtfully and
watched the black and white
cat scurry through the empty
store.
Finally he put the pipe down,
cleared his throat and said:
II don't have any other
choice but go out Of business.
They are building towns all
over the countryside now and
there just aren't enough people
raising chickens and livestock
to keep this feed store going"
Then he added with a puck
ish grin: Don't you think I'm
getting too damned old to work,
anyway"
The last remark was obyi-
ously Mr.. Simpsons way of
trying not to show outwardly
that the last thing he wanted
to do was to close his store
the James Feed Store, 619 K
street N. w.
30 Years in Spot
The store, one Of the last
feed stores in the heart of
Washington, closed after 80
years in the same location,

into the countryside with their
customers.
why I used to deliver poul-
try and livestock feed 35 miles
up into Maryland and all
across the Southern part Of the
state" he recalled.
Then they started build
ing towns all over the place
and the people who raised
chickens and livestock either
quit or moved further out"
Mr.. Simpson admits he could
see the handwriting on the
landscape, so to speak, about
five years ago when his busi-
ness first started to decline.
But he didn't give up finally
until July l when he decided to
close the store at the end of
the month.
when you've been at some
thing most Of your life like I
have, well, you just hate to
give up," he said.
Mr.. Simpson, a lifelong resi-
dent Of the District, has been in
the feed business here for
longer than As years. First he
worked in feed stores for others.
moved to the present location
in 1880 with the first owner
and finally took over complete
ownership of the store in 1899.
Pause to Help
Before I got into the feed
business, I used to sell seeds"
he said. That was back In the
days when you didn't have to
drive half-a-day to see a real
farm. he added.
Mr.. Simpson was INTERRUPTED
by two phone calls. One was
from a longtime woman Gus
toner offering aid and comfort,
the other from a male custo-
mer wanting advice on what to
do to perk up his chickens ap-
petites. Mr.. Simpson worked
out a diet for the hens and re-
turned to the conversation.
Folks have been awfully nice
to me, everyone telling me not |
to quit and offering to help
anyway they can," he said.
But when the overhead eats
up the profit, you've got no
choice" |
Mr.. Simpson and his wife live
at 2577 Rhode Island avenue
ne. He said he expects to find
enough work around the house
to keep him busy.
Then he added wistfully:
You know, this is the first
time I've been out of job in

County Will Probe
Religion in Schools
Practices Draw
Parent Protests
In Montgomery
By DANA BULLEN
Star stan Writer


An investigation has been
ordered by Montgomery Coun-
ty school officials into reports
that religious "indoctrination"
is being offered in the public
schools.
Paul c. Howard, board of
education president, said the
information will be used in de-
Gliding whether the board needs
to adopt a policy on religious
matters.
The survey into existing
practices was started after pro-
tests were filed in letters from
three parents and a Unitarian
Church group.
At present, the board of edu-
cation has no formal policy
dealing with such things as
Bible reading, hymn singing,
prayers and similar activities
which are reported widespread
in county schools.
Robert N. Rea, president Of
the Montgomery County Chap
ter Of the Unitarian Fellowship
for Social Justice, and the
three parents. have asked the
board to eliminate these prac-
ticeS.
Letters Are Quoted
While the board has asked
Supt. c. Taylor Whittier to look
into religious activities in the
schools, there has been no pub
lie discussion of the matter.
In one Of the letters, Robert
L. Blake, 1906 Grenoble drive,
Rockville, said my child is not
to engage in religious
rituals in her home, and do
not expect her to participate
in her school,"
Mrs. Andrew Mcclure. 1905
Vandalia drive, Rockville, OBJ
jected to teachers opening the
school day with a prayer, tell
ing Bible stories and leading in
the singing of hymns.
Coercion Charged
She also charged that "coer-
cion" was used with one child
who politely refused" to say
the Lords Prayer and noon
grace.
Lee Gurel. 4615 Iris place,
Rockville, said 1T strikes me
as an imposition to give
to certain forms Of religious
expression the sanctions i'm
plicit in the educational stu
ation."
Commenting on the letters,
Mr.. Howard said he thought it
was a fairly common practice
for certain of these religious
ceremonies" to be carried on
in Montgomery County schools.
He said he was referring to
recitation of the Lords Prayer
and "a certain amount Of read
ing Of the Bible" Mr.. Howard
noted that songs at Christmas
and Easter also may deal with
religious topics.
Mr.. Howard said the board
Of education. in calling for a
survey Of current religious &C
tivities. wanted to avoid pro-
ceeding "precipitiously" in deal
ing with what he called a most
complex situation"
Regulations Explained
He said individual principals
now have responsibility for
what is done.
Only two sections Of existing
school regulations deal with
religious matters. Neither one
is concerned with the items to
which objections have been
raised.
One permits distribution of
Bibles to students with parental
written consent and without
undue ceremony"
The other states a general
policy that Children need to
appreciate the Importance of
spiritual values and to guard
carefully the freedom of re-
ligion."
Mr.. Howard said the superin-
tendent'S survey Of religious
practices probably would re-
quire several months.

million acres under contract, the
report shows, cropland which has
been contributing heavily to the
surplus build-up in recent years
is being withheld from production
and devoted to conservation uses
under long-term contracts.
During the 1959-60, period, the
Department reports, farmer par
ticipation in the Conservation
Reserve more than doubled. The
acreage of cropland withheld from
production almost tripled, and the
percentage of '@whole farms" under
contract grew to more than two
thirds of the total.
Under the Conservation Reserve,

farmers voluntarily enter contracts
to hold cropland out of production
and devote it to conservation uses.
After four years of experience,
the Department says, it is apparent
that large numbers of farmers will
participate in a program of this
type. In each of the last two
years, farmers have offered land
for the program well in excess of
the amount that could be accepted.
