affected by the proposal.
In a statement outlining Its
position on the plan, the citizens
unit said it objects to the pro
posal because I'VE feel that the
part of the plan titled Vicinity
of the Town of Gaithersburg' is
a harbinger Of the plan that
will eventually be made for the
Damascus area"
Principal target of the
groups attack was the Park
and Planning Commissions pro.
posed rural agricultural coming
of areas beyond Gaithersburg,
restricting residential use to
two-acre lots-a proposal that
also drew fire from some rep.
resentatives of the Gathers
burg and Rockville areas at a
public hearing last week.
Calls For Re-Study
The association called on the
Park and Planning Commission
to submit the Gaithersburg area
plan for re-study. taking into
consideration the wishes of the
citizens of the upper county re-
tanning half-acre rural residen-
tial coming, except for those
areas that are definitely slated
for uses such as public parks, or
that require larger coming to
fulfill the requirements of pub
lie health, welfare or safety"
In its statement of its posi-
ton, the civic association cited
the similarity Of the proposed
master plan to ''the yet I'm
adopted Residential Land Use
plan which recently found little
support among citizens of this
county"
Seen As Precedent
Pointing to the rural agrictil-
tural coming designated on maps
outlining both the master plan
and the residential land use
plan, the association said:
There is q strong probability
that the plan for the vicinity Of
Gaithersburg will become the
precedent setting plan upon
which others to the north will
be based, and therefore, we in
Damascus feel that we have a
vested interest in this PLAN"
The statement commended that
coming is to be used for the
protection Of public health, pub
lie safety or public welfare. ut

Press Case

An impressive demonstra-
ton of public opinion is
scheduled in Rockville next
Tuesday when representa-
tives of more than a dozen
key organizations advocating
fair representation will appear
before the county's legislative
delegation at s pm. in behalf of
their cause.
In a display spanked by the
county's Fair Representation
Committee, the demonstrators
are expected to include repre-
sentatives of the County Coun-
Gil, the Board of Education and
the major political clubs Of both
the Democratic and Republican
parties, according to Phillip
Thorson, president Of the COM
mittee. They will appear before
the delegation in the auditor
ium of the County Office Build
ing.
The Young Republican Club,
the Young Democratic Club,
the Western Suburban Demo-
cratic Club and the Kensington-
Wheaton Democratic Club are
among factions that will unite
in their demand for an appor-
tionment system providing fair
representation in the State Leg
islature for Montgomery Coun-
ty citizens.
Cites Mandate"
"The Montgomery County
Fair Representation Committee
has a mandate from 67,212 citi-
zens who signed petitions on
November 8 for representation
based on population, and that's
what we're going to achieve"
said Thorson.
He noted that no candidate or
constitutional issue received as
many as $1,000 votes in the gen
eral election. This overwhelm.
ing response clearly shows the
indignation of the citizens in
having the Maryland Legisla-
ture controlled by "a per cent of
the voters in the State, with the
odds 81 against Montgomery
County in particular"
Supporters Listed
Among the larger groups
scheduled to ask the delega-
tons support of reapportion-
ment of the Legislature are the
County Council of P-TA's, the
League of Women Voters, the
Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton, the Allied Civic Group,
the Montgomery County Educa-
tional Association, the National
Council of Jewish Women, the
Suburban Builders Association
and the town of Somerset.
ut is estimated that every
Montgomery County citizen will
be represented several times
over by the various overlapping
groups arrayed in behalf Of
securing fair representation in
the Maryland Legislature"
Thorson said.

a special committee calling
for a thorough and mag
NATIVE denomination" of the
States program for higher edu.
cation.
Prepared by school board
members Clifford K. Beck, Rob-
ert E. Morrow and Mrs. Rose
Kramer, the report approved
neither the controversial War
field Commission plan for
establishing the State teachers
colleges as branches of the Uni
versity of Maryland nor a State
Board of Education proposal
for expanding the teacher col
lege program under its own
supervision.
Instead, the local boards COM
mittee suggested that the teach
ers' colleges be guided by sep
arate boards of trustees, under
the general supervision of a CO.
ordinating commission. 1t also
called for extensive study of the
entire higher educational pro.
gram, with particular emphasis
on the role of junior colleges.
In accepting the report, the
board agreed to forward it to
the State association of school
boards in line with the associa-
tons recent request that local
boards comment on the conflict
ing proposals of the Warfield
Commission and the State edu-
cational unit.
OF the two plans, the county
committees report said:
There is no evidence that
the recommendations of the
Warfield report would repre-
sent the best overall interests
of the State of Maryland in
higher education.
at is also not clear that the
proposal of the State superin-
tendent would constitute action
in the best overall interests of
the State"
Insofar as education, supply,
qualifications and certification
of teachers, there is an over
riding and most urgent need
for a thorough and imaginative
denomination" the report said.
1.-The present situation is made
quate and obsolete"
Major revisions, it added. "are
mandatory If there would
emerge any prospects in the
near future of having teachers
able to meet the revolutionary
demands of modern public
school curriculum and instruc-
tional trends"
Mrs. Kramer said after the
meeting the committees princi-
pal concern about junior col
leges was the lack of a coordin-
ated program under which
their students could make an
easy transition ito senior col
lege, with no interruption to
the continuity of their study
programs.
The officials approved award
of a contract for construction
of an addition to Takoma Park
Junior High School to the H. O.
McAlister Co., lowest of nine
bidders, at a cost of $147,000.

plan which has been so gener-

one would think that it was
their own brain child, donated
to the players out of gratitude
and appreciation, as a gratui-
tous reward for service we'll
done.
"The fact Of the matter is
that the new pension plan was
secured only after a bitter
struggle by the players against
the owners and league Off

Feller told how the players

But there could be no ques-
