New County
Office Gets
Green Light

County Manager Mason A.
Butcher was authorized Tues
day to proceed Immediately
with the establishment of an
agency within his office to
guide the economic development
of the county.
The County Council, after
studying report on the pro-
posal submitted by Butcher a
week ago, unanimously con-
CURED in his suggestion that
prompt action be taken and
gave him a free hand in setting
up the new governmental de-
partment.
Under Butchers proposal, the
office for the time being would
be staffed by someone with
considerable experience in the
field of economic development,
such experience to be consistent
with the detectives of our pro.
gram" and a clerical assistant.
In response to questioning by
council members, he said the.
personnel would be selected in
accordance with the county's
merit system.
Purpose of the new agency
will be to coordinate the efforts
of the various organizations
and interests concerned with
promoting the economic growth
of the county and to serve as a
clearing house for information
sought by industries and other
business interested in locating
in Montgomery County.
In his report, Butcher noted
considerable" activity to pro-
mote economic development Of
the area, but he said ito a large
extent it is disjointed." The
new agency, according to his
plan, would provide "clear cut
detectives and coordinated d.
rection."
Funds for operation of the
office for the remainder of the
fiscal year already are avail
able under a miscellaneous
budget item approved by the
council for economic develop
ment.

there was no additional inspec-
tons or security measures
taken at the jail.
Negligence Charged
ION the basis of this and
further evidence submitted to
1t, it is of the opinion of this
grand jury that gross negli-
gence existed on or before No.
u In the administration of the
county jail and in the security
of prisoners the report said.
I'm the grand jury's opinion,
had reasonable diligence and at
tention been exercised by Jail
officials, the escape Of Novem-
Der q could have been prevent
ed and by proper enforcement
Of the jail inspection and other
security rules, the impending
break could have been detected
prior to its occurrence, or at the
most, within 80 minutes after
it occurred" the jury said.
1t recommended that the
County Manager and the Coun-
ty Council participate more ac-
lively" in jail administration
and that "the quality Of Jail adj
ministration be vastly improved
with the least possible delay"

Council OK's.
Zone Change
Controversial
Sites Approved

The Montgomery County
Council on Tuesday re-
affirmed its tentative APP
proval of a controversial Sill
yer Spring rezoning and, at
the same time, reconsidered
and approved in the same area
= second coming it had previous
~ rejected.
Involved We're a tract of
about an acre at First ave. and
Arson St, on which the council
kept the hearing record open
last November at the request
of Councilman William F.
Hickey-now president Of the
body-and a nearby site of
about half an acre at 8615 Sec
ond ave-. for which rezoning
was denied last June.
Both were rezoned from RICO
(residentiaD to CO commercial
office use), with Hickey and
Councilman Stanley B. Frosh
dissenting.
Held premature"
Hickey, who had objected to
the zone changes earlier with
the contention that additional
commercial zening in the area
is premature" even though it
is supported by the Silver
Spring master plan, again
spoke out against the proposals
when they came up for final
vote Tuesday. He urged the
board to hear a delegation from
the Silver Spring Junior Cham
Der of Commerce before voting
on the matter, but was over
ruled by board majority.
In the tentative vote last No
vember, Hickey and Frosh had
been joined by Councilwoman
Stella B. Werner in opposing
the larger of the two zonings.
However, after additional evil
dence was brought in following
Hickeys request for q delay,
Mrs. Werner joined with the
majority to effect 50 decision
in favor of the change.
To Start Immediately
Applicant for the First ave.
rezoning was the Research De-
velopment Co., represented by
attorney r. Robert Linowes.
Following the councils action,
Linowes said the firm would
proceed Immediately with con-
struction of its office building,
headquarters for an electronics
research operation.
The applicant for the smaller
tract was w. B. Montgomery,
for whom c. M. Marsteller, jr.,
acted as agent. While the re-
quest was denied last June,
Council members agreed to re-
consider it as a companion
measure to the nearby Re-
search Development project.
Cahoon Supports Change
Speaking in support of the
change, Councilman David Ca
boon noted that the Silver
Spring master plan, prepared
in 1857; designated the area as
potential commercial zone
and had remained unchanged
since its inception. There has
never been suggestion for a
review of the PLAN" said
Cahoon, adding that he voted
for the measure in line with a
policy Of coming by plan"
Mrs. Werner said she felt the
operation planned by the Re-
search Development Co. was "a
very fine thing" She expressed
the belief that approval of the
applications would stabilize the
area.

Capital Budget
Sliced by More
Than s. Million
Construction
Funds Slashed
In Board Study

The Montgomery County
Board of Education has
whitfield more than two mil
lion dollars from the 1888
million capital budget re-
quest of DR.. c. Taylor Whittier,
superintendent of schools.
Tn session almost nightly
since the start of the year. the
board has effected a series Of
revisions, deletions and addi-
lions that add up to a total
budget request of SILL, accord
ing to a recapitulation of the
boards figures by Lester WEIGH,
director of school facilities.
This Is the total that will be
passed on by the Board of Edu-
cation to the County Council
for its approval.
Future Projects Included
1t includes a total of more
than one million dollars for two
new senior high schools-East
Wheaton and Potomac-wnich
are not scheduled for occu-
pancy until 1864. In announcing
his capital budget, DR.. Whittier
conceded the construction funds
for the two schools probably
would not be required in the
next fiscal year, but he said he
included them in the budget for
the purpose of long-range plan
ming.
Thus, should the County
Council elect to delete the two
projects until the 1928 fiscal
year, the total budget could be
brought below the level Of this
years capital budget Of $19.f
million. There has been specu-
lation that the council win de-
lete the construction funds
while approving planning
money for the two schools as a
means of making a tentative
commitment.
Special Schools Deleted
A major step in the Board
of Education's pruning process
was the elimination of funds
for two special schools pro-
posed by DR.. Whittier-one an
entirely new structure on Seven
Locks I'd. and the other extern
sive renovation of the Sandy
Springs school. The total cost
of the two projects would have
exceeded $750,000.
The board decided to delay
action on the schools pending
completion of an extended study
of the needs Of handicapped and
retarded children in the county,
to be conducted by a committee
composed of representatives of
interested agencies. The study
is to be sponsored jointly by
the school board and the Coun-
ty Council.
Gym Fund Cut
Another major deletion was
the sum of 100000 from the
S470,000 proposed by DR.. Whit
tier for construction Of a gym.
nasium for Montgomery Junior
College. However, at the same
time the board approved a
$4,000 expenditure for park.

gatl0n Oh the jail break, the
grand jury accused Jail authori-
ties of gross negligence and as
serted their testimony concern
ing the escape was ''in conflict
with the testimony Of police
officers and others"
The escape corridors crawl
space above the Jail ceiling,
made accessible by a ventilator
opening-was known to the Jail
for years prior to
the November 27 break, the
jurors reported mo inspection
of this potential escape route
was made at any time prior to
November 81 by any Jail au-
thority,' the report asserted.
Conflicting Testimony
The jurors also noted that
the escape was not discovered
until some six hours after the
four youths had made their
way to freedom. There is con-
flicting testimony whether this
discovery was made originally
by the jailers' head count, or by
jailers after a phone call from
the Bethesda police that one
prisoner was in their custody"
the report said. @In any event,
the four prisoners were out of
Jail for six hours without jailer
detection"
Jail officials received two
separate tips about the impend-
ing break, one on November 10
through a telephone call and
again on November "a on the
advice of a prisoner, the jurors
charged.
Despite these, the report said,

JUDY HOLIDAYS
SUCCESS STORY
HAD BIG HITCH

UDY HOLIDAY, who will
be Perry Como's guest
Wednesday night on NBC,
knows that success on Broadway and
in Hollywood is not necessarily the
complete answer to an actress
prayers.
Her role of Billie Dawn in the
Carson Kanin comedy, Born Yester-
day." which ran for more than three
years Q946-l949 on Broadway made
a star of Judy. The screen version of
the comedy hit won her an Academy
Award as best actress" in 1850.
But, as is often the case, typing
set in. Hollywood could only see the
personable actress as the dumb
blond" type. That's pretty much the
way they cast her for eight long
years.
When they thought of me, they
always remembered the vacuous
Billie Dawn" Judy said. 1T was as
simple as that"
Actually, she is anything but a
dumb blond.
At the age of 10. Judy, then Judy
Turvin, scored l72 on the Otis Intelli-
gence Test-a genius rating.
While attending New York Junior
High School, Judy got her name in
the papers and a $50 prize for an
essay titled How to Keep the Streets,
Parks and Fairgrounds of Our City
Clean and Wholesome.
Judy's recent career on televiSion
and the Broadway stage has been
stalled by throat ailment She was
operated on last fall and a benign
tumor was removed. She has been
reported as fully recovered During

Opposition Stiff

The chairman of both commit
tees were behind the Presidents
plan but there was stiff opposi-
ton elsewhere.
Eighty-three House members (72
Republicans and II DemocratS)
signed a letter of protest against
the borrowing feature. The spokes-
man for the group, Representative
Pelley, Republican of Washington,
called it immoral and reprehen-
sible" and described it as "a de-
vice for avoiding congressional
