Bomb Shelters
Urged at Schools

Montgomery County School
Board members last night were

school bomb shelters. Top
county officials do not favor
the plan, the advisory group
said.

be undertaken by the addi-
tional appropriation Of 5 per
cent of the construction cost
of each new elementary school
Shelters for larger secondary
schools would cost 4 per cent
or less of each schools cost,

Opinion Control
Called Red Tool

Control Of public opinion is
a major weapon of the Com
munists, a Foreign Service In
stitute official told a seminar
last night at Fort Belvoir.
Alan M. G. Little. head of

Agency Studies, spoke at the
fourth Of six seminars on 1.-The
Threat Of Communism" spon-

serve Officers Association.
He called the Soviet system
a government "for the many. Of
the many but by the 1ew." Mr.
Little said the danger Of COM

world lies in the Communists s
faith in the ultimate triumph
Of his system, a belief that the
end always justifles the means
his long-range plans for con-
quest and his total control OF

stage which is the establish
ment of a Federal corporation"
he added.
If the corporation bill is in
troduced now, the Commission
er noted, there is a possibility
of moving so fast the two bills
would cause confusion.
At the same time the diver
gent views on the corporation
measure can be ironed out, Mr..
Mclaughlin said.
Master Plan Seen
The proposed Federal corpo-
ration would develop a master
plan to ease the trafflc situa-
ton in the entire region. II
would have power to obtain
land and operate transports-
ton facilities.
Some Of the powers outlined
in the drafted bill are now too
broad, says Senator Nortirop,
Democrat of Montg o m cry
County. Changes should be
made particularly in regard to
what the corporation can do in
the adjoining States, he said.

don't want the corporation to
come in and completely disrupt

Before his recommendation

librarians and two desk as
sistants. An initial collection
of 10000 volumes is planned
for Bladensburg and about
10000 for Upper Marlboro, the
county seat.
The library officials also
asked for an additional five
employees to supplement the
present staff of 80 full-time
and II part-time workers.
Circulation Up Is Per Cent
About $l25,O0O is requested
for book purchases, with each
book costing an average of So.
The system now has l20,l27
volumes with an increase in
circulation of 18 per cent in
the last year. Miss Hage said.
She said nationally accepted
standards show a good library
system costs at least SO per
capita. Prince Georges. with a
population of 365,000 now
spends less than 81 and the
budget proposal still falls more
than a dollar short Of the So
minimum.
The library board two years
ago drafted a $2.2 million, To-
year capital outlay program
calling for three regional
libraries. A start has yet to
be made on the program.

Mr.. Gray said the board was

the decision back to the board
to reconsider.
The boards hearing officer,
Charles w. Hart, said he mad
not yet had a chance to study
Mr. Gray's opinion. but he
added that the board knew it
could have legally denied the
dealer his license renewal.
Enforcement Issue
Mr.. Gray said the board had,
based its decision on the fact
that no other dealer had oeen
prosecuted suffered adverse
administrative action or even
been warned because of the
violations brought out in the
Irv Martin case. Mr.. Gray said
the law was clear that lust be-

Mr.. Hart said the board re.
allied that at the time it made
its decision but was exercising
its discretion in view Of "all the

mony that no dealers had been

Extension of
Truck Zone

Enlargement of the Wash
ington area Commercial zone"
for trucks to include additional
areas Of nearby Maryland and
Virginia was recommended to-
day by an examiner of the
Interstate Commerce Commits
sion
But the examiner. Thomas F
Kilroy. recommended against
inclusion Of all the area that
had been requested at hearings
more than a year ago. He op-
posed extension Of the area to
Gaithersburg and Germantown
in Maryland or as far as the
new Dulles International Air
port in Virginia.
The commercial zone relates
to freight transport operations
by trucking firms In it, truck
ers can operate without regu-
lation by the ICC except where
safety is involved. Trucks
coming from outside the zone
can serve any point within it,
but ICC authority is needed
for trucks from within to serve
points on the outside.
In his recommendation to the
full commission. Mr.. Kilroy
urged extension Of the zone to
such places as Rockville. Laurel
Upper Marlboro and Clinton ",
Maryland. and to Springfield
Fairfax and Vienna in Virginia
The commercial zone now
covers only the District and its
cloSe-irl suburbs.
The examiners recommenda-
tions we're the result Of lengthy
hearings held before him and
Examiner Henry C. Darn

which the extension was asked
by representatives Of various
