noted that the vote in favor Of

Butchers
Appointment
Seen Certain

The appointment of Mason
A. Butcher as county man.
ager appeared more assured
then ever this week.
Butcher, who has been
acting manager since Melvin
L. Reese resigned five months
ago, told reporters after a
closed council session Tuesday
that he has decided to apply
for the job.
This appeared to be merely
a formality, however, in the
light of statement by Council
President Grover Walker after
the executive meeting.
In response to questions by
reporters, Walker said the coun-
Gil had asked Butcher whether
he was interested in applying"
He emphasized no definite sal
airy had been mentioned. Reese
had been getting $4,000 a year.
When pressed, Walker said
he believed present county EN-.
ployes, including Butcher, had
not applied for fear that they
might be embarrassed if they
were turned down."
The implication was clear
that Butcher had been given
the impression during the
closed session that if he applied,
he would receive the appoint.
ment.
The hesitation by Walker and
other council members to make
a definite announcement at this
time appeared based on their
desire to receive Butchers
formal application and to GO
through the regular procedure
of considering it along with
the 70-odd others for the posi-,
ton before making their deci.
sion public.
Lending support to this belief
was Walkers announcement
that the council will meet at
8 pm. August % to review all
Of the applications.

as director of public works
since 1850.

his school becomes too large
and advised the unit to think
carefully before proceeding
with expansion.
In his final report before
leaving to assume his new du-
ties as a professor at George
Peabody College in Nashville,
Tenn, DR.. Tillman made a num-
Der of recommendations for fur.
thering the elementary educa-
ton program. His report gener-
ally, however, was highly COM
mandatory of the school sys-
tenn.
He referred to his associates
as "the most able and coopera-
tive coworkers to be found in
any large system in the United
States and board of education
whose members are most dedi-
Gated"
DIR. Tillman called for a
strengthening of recruitment eff
forts, observing that 'the basic
detriment of a quality school is
its personnel" In this connec-
ton, he said the recent search
for competent staff personnel
evidences a need to restudy
the administrative and super
visory salary schedule"
The outgoing director also
suggested that the teaching
year include at least one month
when teachers are not working
with pupils, proposing that the
time be devoted to curriculum
development activities.
DR.. Tillman urged that the
school system continue to
view good teaching and guild
arlce as inseparable and that
those services which make both
teaching and guidance more eff
fective be strengthened" and
proposed that the county con-
tinue with an educational pro-
gram (which is consistent with

ance of the 81, 134, 00O bid of AL

a high of $1,318,000.
The archoitect's estimate of

ing house for views by other
business organizations to be
presented to the commission
and the County Council.
Among growth factors which
the committee said had been
overlooked in the plan were:
/. Construction of Chantilly
Airport (which will be more &C.
cessible to Montgomery County
than to the District of Column
bia."
Sewer Line
2. The projected Chantilly-Po-
tomac Valley sewer line, (which
will make vast areas of the
county sewerable."
3. Routes 70-S (new 240) and
20 (which make many facilities
in the upper Potomac Valley as
well as in Frederick and Balti-
more almost as accessible as
those in the District :"
4. The planned circumferen-
tial highways crossing the Po-
tomac River.
5. Industrial, governmental
and airport development in the
central and upper areas of the
county.
Added Employment
Fitting hard on this latter
point, the committee contended
that over $4,000 people are now
employed in government re-
search and scientific plants in
the county. These activities gen.
crate a payroll over more than
$155 million, the group added.
Prestige employment CEN
ters," the committee asserted,
"are increasingly becoming a
feature of the central and upper
county. Along with industry fol-
lows the growth of prestige res
idential areas. To arrest the res
idential growth would be to. ar
rest industrial growth.
AS an example Of "oversim-
plification" in the plan, the COM
mittee offered this quotation:
"Westernmost Montgomery
County, far removed from the
influence OF suburban expan-
sion, is likely to remain much
as 1t is today for the next 20
years"
Facts Differ
The facts are, however, the
committee added, that Chan
lilly Airport is just across the
river, Dickerson power plant is
at the northern corner of the
county, and just above the coun-
ty line industrial parks are UNI
der development in nearby
areas such as Point of Rocks,
Frederick and Fort DERRICK,
some of whose personnel reside
in Montgomery County"
In addition, the extension of
River I'd. into the area provides
direct access to and from Wash
inston, the committee declared.
Other members Of the COM
mittee are former County
Councilman Wilbur Baughman,
Bruno Barbierie, Edward Fine
ran, Box Hendricks, Max Malin,

Station
At COlesviIIc

Residents of the exclusive
Wolf Acres subdivision near
Colesville are going to have
a firehouse in their back
yard.
The County Council this week
approved a one-acre site at the
corner of Colesville I'd. and Wolf
DIR. for a substation of the Hill
andale Fire Department.
The action was taken by a
81 vote, with Councilman Joe
Kyle dissenting strongly.
Councilman William ]. Hickey
commended the new firehouse
would not be a "detriment" to
the neighborhood.
Not Asset
"This is not true" Kyle quick
ly interjected. Putting a fire
house in the middle of a resi-
dental area is not an asset to
the homes"
Hickey insisted, however, that
the site was the best one avail
able to serve the area. And he
claimed the installation would
provide a buffer against COM
mercial development.
He was supported by Coun-
cilwoman Stella B. Werner,
who cited the Chevy Chase Fire
Department on Connecticut ave.
adjacent to the expensive
Hamlet development as an
example of protection against
commercial encroachment.
Other Business
In other business, the County
heads:
1. Approved a resolution ex-
pressing sympathy at the death
of former District Commits
sioner David B. Karrick.
2. Agreed to have the State
Roads Commission grade addi-
tional widths for sidewalks
along University blvd. between
Wheaton and Four Corners at
a cost of $4,000.
3. Denied two applications for
industrial coming of land at
Shady Grove I'd, Gaithersburg.
A. Granted request by
James Lynch, treasurer of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission, to guarantee pay
ment, of 81 million in commits
sion bonds for storm drainage
in the county.
5. Approved the promotion of
Joseph Blocher from senior as
sistant county attorney to depu-
ty county attorney along with
a salary increase from $10,392
to $11,241.
Name Changed
6. Changed the name Of the
