Reason For Harmony
The spirit of Christmas isn't the real
reason why members Of the Park and Plan
ming Commission seem to be In such CO.
operative mood not only with the County
Council but anyone else who approaches
them.
The latest overture came Tuesday when
]. Newton Brewer, vice-chairman of the Com
mission and chairman of the Montgomery
Planning Board, appeared before the County
Council and offered the services, talents and
facilities of his staff in working out details Of
a capital budget.
Mr.. Brewer is quite aware of what might
happen in the State Legislature in the early
part of 1861 There is no doubt there will be
introduced a bill which might call for the
complete overhaul of the Park and Planning
Commission And Mr.. Brewer and associates
are doing all that is possible to keep the air
clear, relations with other government agen.

image of the Park and Planning Commission

The hiring of J. B. Zatman. expert public
relations man, who was the chief engineer Of
the Park and Planning defense when the
Legislature tried few years ago to scrap the
Commission in its existing form, and the
hiring of Harland Bartholomew, a top and
internationally Unknown planner, to soften the
ideas and ideals of the various plans submit.

strong indication that Mr.. Brewer and asso-
ciates are girdng for the inevitable slirrnish
with the Maryland Legislature.

Not Alone in Criticism

OFFICIALS Of Rockville and Gaithersbg need not feel
- disturbed bashful about crczing the plan Of the
Park and Planning Commissions staff for the proposed
method Of developing land lying between the two
munites Others In great numbers have been much
vehement in not only attacking this particular plan but
others submitted by Arthur Stellhorns staff.
1t is noted that Rockville officials said that while they
had kept the planning agency's staff advised Of the
progress of the ctys master pan the Commission staff
"faed to reciprocate" as the Rockville Cathersburg
vicinity plan was being developed
The Rockville officials should know by now that
Arthur Stehon and his little group of experts sit in their
ivory tower on Georgia Avenue in Silver Spring and make
plans they WISH They wipe out already officially
zoned property II the coming doesn't happen to suit Mr.
Stehorn Rockville officials need not feel badly it is
doubtful that the staff allows the members Of the
Park and Planning Commission to have nklng of what
they up to until the finished product is presented to
them Then they have to go forward and try to sell
rather strange ideas to the general public
There is encouraging note in all of this The Com
mission has hired constant who Is completely able to
put Mr. Stellhom and the Commission Staff in the right
frame Of mind for future planning

and the potent performances

be greatly concerned that "The
Visit" is not a tidy play.
Mr.. Duerrenmatt is more
concerned with its point than
its orderliness.
So are the Lunts, she gor-
geously dressed, regally carried
in a sedan chair, coldly con-

sees its duty to correct an old
injustice-and collect a million

restore Cullen to its old pros
perity.
Madame, who left the place
at II in a thin cotton dress
against the winters chill, seven
months pregnant and in dis
grace, scorns so paltry a gift.
She is ready to give Cullen
a billion marks, half for the
town, half to be divided among
the townSpeople on per capita
basis.
But, she has a condition,
based upon a ranking sense of
injustice. namely that she will
have to have the dead body of
the man who wronged her girl
hood love before she writes out
the check. She has brought
along with her a coffin, tailored
to the measurements of the
man she called her "black

The question of which The
Visit" dispoSes in three re-
morSeleSs acts could not be
stated more simply. 1t is: Will
one injustice be wiped out by
the perpretation of another?
Mr.. Lunt, a shabby, stopped,
gray. puttyish figure doesn't
think so. Claire always was a
girl with a wild sense of hu-
NOR; one that might have
grown this wild-the coffin, you
know-with the coming of her
riches.
He is to learn that justice

Lunt in the names of love and
Justice, is one of the wonders
of its time.
The change was greeted by
a capacity audience with a
veritable bedlam of enthusiasm,
its high note chorus of bravos
which sounded as if they had
been boarded for years for this
very purpose. The ovation could
only mean that the theater-
goerS whom the Lunts had
charmed for decades were
estate to find that themselves
suddenly so frozen with horror.
THE Visit" a Maurice Va
lency adaptation of a Friedrich
Duerrenmatt novel, is patiently
the Lunts' answer to those
churlS who dared ask of them
more than froth. 1t is eerie
melodrama in which Mr.. Duer-
renmatt expresses a low opinion
of humanity which the Lunts
play with inspired fervor,
whether or not they actually
share the authors sentiments.
They do it in an atmosphere
dark and dank with evil, Miss
Fontanne in the role of a regal,
rich prostitute, Mr.. Lunt as a
shabby European village shop
keeper who started the former
on her morally downward,
financially upward path.
Save only as it adds a.
macabre touch, the play does
not even bother with humor. In
this it states its authors terri
flying conviction that there is
much that is absurd but little
that is funny in the nature of
humans.

MoYietoWn Problems

NEW YORK - Hollywood,

world, has become more and

The majcr studios will be dis

made the way they are in Eu-

The writer's, actors, direc-
tors, etc, demand q percentage
Of the TV income from use of
their old movies. These de-
mands are further complicated
by their altered status since
those films were made: John
Ford, who directed Long Voy-

fee paid him at the time.
Elizabeth Taylor's salary in

dollars per picture. If they
agree on awarding TV percent
ages to them, shall it be on
the old salary or the new?
Problems, problems.
Miss Taylor is in New York

principals just decided that
the story ending must be

AMELIA, Oct. 20 81 An unusual
occurrence happened in Amelia
county $50 far as can be found
outD. in June. when a bird dog
owned by r. L. Bob Dick Jones
had a litter Of Is pups. The news
came to us the next day and we
asked for a picture which Mrs.
Jones said she had taken. Two
of the puppies were crushed the
first night SO it was too late to
try to get the picture ourselves.
Mrs. Jones laughed and said
there were SO many of them the
mother couldn't possibly take
care of them all and she was
going to have to round up some
bottles and bottle-feed them.
The J0neses now have only one
left as they got rid of seven of
them, later giving the others
away. To their and our aisap-
pointment. the picture they had
taken Of the fifteen did not turn
out SO the story is not so good as
it might have been. We thought
1t worth mentioning though, as
the usual litter is not more than
seven or eight we were told.
