MARYLAND Planners
To Ask Parks Fund
Mason Butcher Offered
County Managers Job

Members Of the Montgomery
County Council revealed yester-
day that the council has offered
the county managers job to
Mason A. Butcher, now serving
as acting manager.
Grover K. Walker, council
president, said Mr.. Butcher is
expected to tell the council
within a week whether he will
accept the offer.
Mr.. Butcher, 46, has been
public works director since 1850
and has been acting county
manager since M. L. Reese re-
signed in March to become city
manager of Miami, Fla.
Council members said the full
council met with Mr.. Butcher
a month ago and told him it
wanted him to accept the post,
which paid $25,000 a year when
Mr.. Reese left.
Mr.. Walker said that when
Mr.. Butcher indicated he might
refuse the offer he was asked
by the council to reconsider be-
| fore giving a final answer. In
the months since he has been
acting county manager, Mr..
Butcher publicly has main
tanned that he would not ac-
cept the job if it were offered
to him.
Last night he admitted that
he now is considering taking
the job.
Il haven't given the coun-
ell my answer" he said. "I
appreciate it (the offer) very
much, and I'm quite flattered.
I haven't made up my mind. !"
In addition to serving as
acting county manager for the
last five months, Mr.. Butcher
has served in this capacity dur.
several earlier absences of the
regular county manager.

The
Rambler
Coils on
Democratic HO
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

ny ULORuL hENNEDx
With his natural optimism,
the Rambler decided to call
on the Kennedy and Nixon
Washington headquarters
yesterday and give you an
inkling of what is going on.
What a job of Logging it
he gave himself on a plus-90
day!
He didn't get to all the
Kennedy command points.
He hopes today's task of
visiting Nixon strongholds
will be simpler.
He started by telephoning
the Kennedy pre-convention
headquarters in the Standard
Oil of New Jersey Co. Build
ing, 261 Constitution avenue.
He was told that the press
section had moved to the
offices of the Democratic
Committee in the 1901 Con-
necticut Avenue Building.
It's on the second floor,
222. The lobby is a scene Of
great activities, many callers.
The Rambler renewed sew
eral old acquaintanceships.
One was Roger Tubby, the
head of the press section.
We shared two seats on the
aisle in a plane on the way
back from Kansas City in
1858, after seeing former
President Harry S. Truman
home. !
Roger was "a Republican
newspaperman from Ver-
mont who came here during
the war. He stayed on, be-
came al press officer Of the
State Department, and out.
standing ability caused him
to be tapped BY, the White
House to become an assistant
press secretary.

THERE ARE TWO OTHER
locations. The upper floors
Of the Esso Building on Con-

the Vote) Committee.
The real headquarters will
be Senator Kennedy's office

Building, .<r
On the floor above the fur
shop, the Rambler met Miss
Helen Yowell, in charge Of
personnel. She is a second-
generation permanent en-
ploye of the Democratic
National Committee. Her
mother was the telephone
operator there, until her
death a decade ago.
f"Do / have difficulty re-
cruiting help?" she asked,
repeating my question.
"No. I have far more ap-
plications than jobs. Many
persons want to quit a per-
fectly good permanent job to
get in on this. I don't en-
courage them-but it's their
business.
How many paid employees
do we have? Well, last week
we had 100; this week we
have $50 and next week it
will be 200 or more. Part
time volunte teer workers
almost double that number. ;"
At the elevator landing I
overheard a stalwart, young
looking, middle-aged woman,
saying to a man: II love it
confusion and excitement.
Haven't felt so good in four
years. Let the best man win.
One thing and one thing only
Is sure. He's our man."

Will Renew Bid
For 100000
Of Federal Aid
By DANA BULLEN
Star stan Writer


The Maryland-Nat Cap
ital Park and Planning Com
mission. voted yesterday to ask
again for 100000 in Capper-
Cramton funds that Congress
refused to appropriate last year.
The request will go to the
Bureau of the Budget, which
approved the items the last
time they were submitted, park
officials said.
When the same requests were
turned down last year, park Of
f1cialS recalled, some Congress-
men said they thought park
land purchases should be made
by the State and not the Fed
eral government.
Under the Capper-Cramton
law, the Federal Government
can contribute one-third of the
$l.8 million proposed by the
planning commission for stream
valley purchases during fiscal
1862.
What the Program Includes
The program includes $685.
600 for the Rock Greek stream
valley from Gaynor road to:
MontroSe road and $270,00O for
acreage along Rock Greek be-
tween Viers Mill road and
Norheck road.
Also in the program are $780,
600 for Northwest Branch be-
tween Colesville road and Glen
mont Colesville road, $255, 900
for Cabin John Greek between
Macarthur boulevard and Seven
Locks road and $180,00O for
land along Cabin John Creek
between Seven Locks road and
River road.
In other business, the COM
missions staff agreed to hold
meetings with groups that re-
quest them to explain the new
residential land use report prior
to the September public hear
ings.
Hearings Are Scheduled
Two public hearings are
scheduled September 10 at
Suitland Senior High School
and September 81 at the plan
ners' headquarters in Silver
Spring.
A public hearing originally
scheduled for September % was
cancelled because it conflicted
with a Jewish holiday, planners
said.
The commission approved the
sale of the SIG million in bonds
for purchase of land for parks
in Montgomery County. The
largest item was $500, 900 for a
tract in the proposed Northwest
Branch Park.
Approval was given an
amendment, to the street plan
for Silver Spring that will per-
nit the Hecht Co. to build a
one-story auto appliance store
on Fenton street between Ellis
worth drive and Pershing drive.
Roads Commission Backed
g. At the. meeting Of the Mont
gomery County Planning Board,
three of the five board mem
bers said they would go, along
with the State Roads Commits
sion if it recommended either
tthe Wisconsin avenue or the
SILVER Spring corrldor Tor a
connection of new Route 24O
with the District.
Donald E. Gingery, a hacker
of the Wisconsin avenue route,
and w. Lawson King declined
to agree at this time to be
bound by the State recommen-
dation.
The Montgomery planners
also voted 80 to recommend
rejection Of an application for
rezoning of '18 acres south of
new Route 20 near White Oak
for elevator apartments.
At another meeting, the
Prince Georges County Plan
ming Board recommended re-
fusal of a request for rezoning
of IL acres on Powder Mill
road across from Sthe High
Point School for apartments.
