We Can't Be Snug
About The Bug

Speaking with the dubious benefit of ex.
perience, we are happy to join the ranks
of those giving solid endorsement to the an.
nual Christmas Seal campaign recently
launched by the Montgomery County Tuber.
culosis and Heart Association.
We had the unpleasant distinction Of
tangling with the TB bug" few years ago
and during the ensuing year of enforced va.
cation we learned lot about the little critter
that can cause so much despair and distress.
Among other things we learned that there is
great promise that tuberculosis eventually
can be wiped out by just such programs as
those made possible by the sale of Christmas
Seals.
Contrary to the popular misconception
that TB is hereditary, the disease is caused
by germ-a germ highly vulnerable to the
wonder drugs" developed by today's medical
magic.
The process of seeking out and isolating
the tuberculosis germ is one of the major
facets of the Christmas Seal program, and
certainly its most valuable. In cooperation
with local health authorities, the local tuber-
culosis associations use the proceeds of the
seal sale to wage continuing and far-ranging
case-finding program, concentrated in tuber.

available for an elected office two years
hence
No sooner was the fact known that Ma
thias had beaten Foley that we learned there
were at least four Democratic candidates set
to make the Party Primary run in 1862
for the opportunity to oppose Matthias In the
General Election of that year.
Alger Barbee, member of the State Legis-
lation and a former States Attorney for
Montgomery County, made no bones about
his desire to run for Congress. He dropped the
word to a newspaper reporter who published
the story. There has been no denial.
There is another young and vigorous
Democrat who could be persuaded to run in
the Democratic Primary. He is presently serv.
ings as the Administrative Assistant to Con-
gresham from Indiana who was successful
in winning re-election-the only freshman
from his state to return to Congress. He is
also the son of a prominent Democratic Sen.
ator from Oklahoma.
OF course, we're talking about Mike Mon
roney, Jr. who was manager in 1858 for Judge
Pugh's spirited campaign against the late
Judge John r. Reeves
Mike has the good fortune of being liked
by leaders in both the regular Democratic
circles and the more liberal thinking members
of his Party. And it is no secret that he has
had private conversations with leaders from
both groups.
There are at least six other prominent
Democrats who have open or secret desires to
represent this district in Congress. OF course,
if the present 9Th district is divided, then the
picture will become entirely different as far
as Matthias and his would-be opponents are
concerned. That's another story.

The Master Plan

With reference to the front
page story in last weeks issue
of the Sentinel headlined "Citi-
zens Hit Master Plan, I wish
to point out that the statement
by the Damascus Citizens Asso.
citation that the Planning Com.
mission should restudy the Cal
thersburg area plan "tak-
ing into consideration the wish
es of the citizens of the upper
county (in) retaining half-acre
rural-residential coming" is
not entirely correct.
Many citizens of the upper
county do not feel that a con-
tinuation of the present uncon.
trolled growth of the area is. to
the best advantage of all its citi-
zens or even fulfills the require
ments of public health, welfare
or safety referred to by the Da-
mascus group. Certainly, there
are many areas of the upper
county where 2 acre rural-agri-
cultural coming is desirable
even necessary to help preserve
some of the woodlands, stream
valleys and other natural vir-
tues that make the upper coun-
ty a good place to live. While
do not represent an organized
citizens group / do represent
a group of property owners
who own nearly 1900 acres of
land lying in and adjacent to
the valleys of Great Seneca and
Wildcat Creeks between Cal
thersburg and Damascus. We
have presented our views to the
Planning Commission and have
requested that land in our area
be considered for rezoning from
its present u acre 10000 So.
IT. As acre. minimum lot
size to 2 acres. The people /
represent do not agree that the
present u acre coming in the
upper county should be re-
tanned over the entire area.
Rather, we feel that many
areas in the upper county, such
as ours, because of location,
topography and natural beauty
should be protected from in
tensive development In addition
to any areas that are "defi-
nitely slated for use as public
parks" :. or any other public
use.
A complete analysis of the ar
guments for and against large
lot coming will shortly be re-
leased by DR.. Harold A. Knapp
OF Germantown. DR.. Knapp's
study will be in the form of a
running commentary on the tes-
timony of Colonel E. Brooke
Lee, farmer and land developer,
presented at the recent public
hearing on the Land Use Plan.

no area for expansion.
Travelling from west to east
one crosses three named streets
-Stonestreet Avenue, Lennon
Avenue and Douglas Avenue.
These aren't through streets
unless one wants to climb a
fence after a journey of a few
blocks either way. Travelling
from Lincoln Avenue north
along Douglas Avenue one
passes Spring Street q blocks
long); continuing north we
reach Frederick Avenue, the
main street" of Lincoln Park.
Here one must bear left for to
proceed to the right one must
take a wagon train road to
reach N. Horners Lane. Not
one paved street runs the en-
tire length of Lincoln Park.
There are no sidewalks. Re
Gently, however, several streets
were widened; this erstwhile
gesture lessons the possibility
of a pedestrian fatality and now
more children than ever can
play in the Streets-their play
ground. To add insult to injury
the Master Plan of Rockville
contemplates commercialiZing
part of the existing residen-
tial area between Stonestreet
and Highway 355. Frederick
Avenue is the only front exit
street from Lincoln Park. No
wonder residents of Lincoln
Park cried out with acerbity
when Hi-Boy erected an estab-
hshment across this exit and
refused Negroes service.
Rockville is growing by leaps
and bounds; the steady influx
of commercial establishments
creates jobs where more Ne
groes are needed. But where
can they live? Unless one owns
land in Lincoln Park or Haiti
(another Negro subdivision
about a block wide and six
blocks long, a room must be
rented or one must commute
from Washington. The Lennon
Corporation owns the only
apartment buildings, five in
number and containing about
fifty units. Here the rent for
most units borders on 500 a.
month making it necessary for
some to double up to pay the
rent. One has to prove destitu-
ton to qualify for living space
in the 65 unit government pro-
ject.
Can not something be done to
provide homes for rent or sale
in some section of Rockville for
the $40 or $50 a week worker?
And what about the school
teachers and a few other pro-
fessionals who are unable to
buy or rent and must commute.
Surely a Master Plan created
with the idea of serving all its
citizens should provide areas of
expansion for all its citizens.
Even in the most southern of
southern communities at least
one end of town is usually des-
ignated for use by minority
groups.

the Superintendent of police the chief OF detectives and
the county Jail supervisor. The whole story was there
with the participants answering any and all questions
tossed by the newsmen.

Of letting his subordnaes speak subjects with which
they are most familiar rather than always through him

This is not to say that would approve of any pro-
gram of phony press conferences conferences set up

this one by Mr. Butcher feel compliments are in
order and should be put on the record
We trust that Mr. Butcher will maintain his policy
of canddness in handling the matters with which he must
be faced day to day.
We do know that his attitude of cooperation is win

mended to the Council that it sponsor cultural

BY the very nature Of its report, it is safe to say
the Committee made thorough study of cultural aspects
of the County and has suggested ways of encouraging art
In all forms.
We hope this committee report will be given serious
consideration by the Council and that steps be taken
to enhance the program already started by the Mongo-

Agrees With
Mrs. Thomson

Your columnist, Mrs. Thorn
son, is really ION the square
in her analysis of the proposed
plan for building a $350,00C
City Hall. Her comments on
the city's privys, railroad cross
ings, unpaved streets and can,
tilevered buildings where city
and private business would com
pete, are intelligent and clearly
stated.
I, for one, hope the city au,
thorities will profit from her
criticisms which are construc
tive and objective.

He'd be at the hospital at

Their doctor decided it
would be wise for Mrs. Chap

DRAMA FROM JAPAN
TURNTABLE TALK
De los Angeles Sings
VioIetto ConvincinoIy
BY HERMAN SCHADEN
Star Record Critic

After lot years. opera i'm
presarios still must suffer
when they recall that first
overstuffed Violetta doing her
best to die tactfully while the
Viennese audience howled in
disbelief.
This casting miscue nearly
killed Verdi's La Traviata be-
fore less beefy singers came
along to immortalize it. One
Of these in recent times, Vic
toria de los Angeles, is the
star of a new 3-record Capt.
toll set and the subject of this
piece.
Now this fair daughter of
Barcelona is frail neither in
physique nor voice. But so
beautifully does she control
her lyrical tones that
every mood. every emotion
throughout the poignant
drama is her victory.
There are some who find
Miss de los Angeles not emf
nently suited to the colora-
tura requirements of such as
"Sempre libra" But these
people are really looking for
trouble. For every disap-
pointing note. there are hun
dreds Of SPELL binders that
set of this singer as unique
among today's top-notchers.
The production was re-
corded in Rome under the
baton Of the tireleSs octo-
genarian. Tullio Serafln. who
does a fine job of welding the
whole in balanced unity.
Although others in the cast
are not known to this coun-
try, their performances are
commendable. The tenor,
Carlo del Monte, sings Al
fredo in a dark. attractive
voice, and Mario Sereni is
generally effective as the
elder Germont. The stereo
dimension contributes great
ly to the overall success.
Miss de los Angeles, who
makes one of her all-too-
rare Constitution Hall ap-
pearanceS next March 10, APP
parently has q rapport with
patriarchs Of the podiu1n.
Last time out, she was q
brilliant Carmen in another
Capitol album created by Sir
Thomas Beecham.
Maestro Serafin, incident
ally, Is heard in q 40-minute
rehearsal record included
with the Traviata album.
Luckily. Serafin's bleating
and baying as he sings with
the orchestra is not heard in
the finished product.
For the record, Miss de los
Angeles now has these other
complete recorded operas to
her credit: Pagliacci, La
Boheme, Faust, Ma d m e
Butterfly, Barber Of Seville,
Manon, Simon Boccanegra,
Gianni Schicchi, Suor Angel
lea, Pelleas ct Melisande and
La Vede Breve.

Elisabeth Schwarzkopf and

the production bubbles like

AMERICANA

Two composers of widely
divergent styles have left

Ives, the avant garde New

Leonard Bernstein, calling
Ives our first really great
composer, serves his memory
well by recording for Column

does an unbelievable job Of
piecing together scraps Of
Brahms, Dvorak. Beethoven,
Stephen Foster, folk melo-
dies, and his own thoughts
into a homogeneous whole.

a pleasure to hear.
Vanguard and Leopold Sto-
kowSki have done as much
for Bloch's epic rhapsody.
