pie who are responsible for pro-
viding the utilities to serve new
population.
Pointing out that metropoli-
tan area growth is not just con
fined to Mont gomery and
Prince Georges counties, Nc
Leod said that the WSSC in the
future might consider entering
into agreements to serve up to
100000 people in portions of
Howard, Anne Arundel and
Charles counties.
Mcleod stressed the WSSCs
desire to participate in the solu-
ton of areawide problems Of
water supply and sewage dis
posal, calling attention to the
fact that the commission was
an active member of the Re-
gional Sanitary Board, a coordi-
mating organization composed
of public health and sanitary
agency representatives from all
sections of the metropolitan
area. The board, he stated, has
employed consultants to prepare
a nearly completed master
plan for metropolitan are a
sewerage system development.
He pointed out that it is "es-
sential" that planners consult
with water and sewer agencies
in the area to determine the
engineering and financial feast
bility" of providing utilities to
areas proposed for development
in longrange master plans.
Emphasizing the importance
of utility planning on a region
al basis, Mcleod said the WSSC
has been fortunate in that "the
Maryland Legislature, in its
wisdom, saw fit to require the
WSSC to review plans for sys-
TENS proposed for construction
outside the commissions service
area in Prince Georges and
Montgomery counties"
This review, he pointed out,
assures that such facilities will
be built to the thigh standards
maintained by the commission"
and that new systems can be
completely integrated with the
WSSC system" when and IL the
commission is required to take
them over.

Contee Trial
Being Heard
At Annapolis

The spotlight has shifted
to the defense in the retrial
of Gordon L. Contee for rape
at Annapolis, after the State
rested its case.
Contee, who was sentenced to
life Imprisonment in an earlier
trial in Montgomery County, is
being retired in Anne Arundel
Circuit Court.
The retrial was ordered by
the Maryland Court of Appeals
for the 25-year.old Contee after
it upset his conviction on
grounds the lower court had
failed to examine prospective
jurors properly on possible ra-
cial prejudice.
Contee is a Negro. The
woman in the case is white.
Final witness for the State
was a nurse, who testified that
Contee raped a mental patient
in her presence at a Rockville
apartment in June, 1859.
Miss Jeanne Alleman, q, who
is now a first lieutenant in the
Air Force, said she had gone to
the apartment after receiving
q call stating the patient was
suffering from abdominal pains.
She arrived at the apartment,
being visited by the patient on
weekend leave from Chestnut
Lodge Sanitorium in Rockville,
about $3.50 pm. Later, at $3.50
am, a man came to the apart
ment and forced his way in.
Lieutenant Alleman said the
man, whom she identified as
Contee, carried a knife and
threatened both women before
attacking the patient. The lieu
tenant said she was too scared
to scream or try to stop Contee.
Earlier, John McLiverty, a
former Montgomery County
court clerk who testified he
took stenographic notes at the
first trial from which the
transcript was made, read the
mental patients account of the
attack.
The patient, according to DR..
Jacob Miller, a psychiatrist at
Worthwhile State Hospital, a
Michigan mental institution, is
presently confined to that in
stitution and is not competent
to testify under Maryland law.
The States case was present
ed in a day and a half before
Judge Benjamin Michaelson and
an all-male jury.

Zone big step forward" the
report said, twas taken when
the council passed a motion /,
to have shelter program and
as a result the Roclxinghorse
Elementary School prototype
shelter project has been devel-
oped.
"Just recently the Office of
Civil and Defense Mobilization
announced a grant of $4,000 to
place four new classrooms Of
that school underground and to
provide major accessories such
as auxiliary power, a separate
well, regulated ventilation, light.
ing, etc. This win be among the
first seven such prototypes in
the United States"
Next step, the board feels, is
a survey of the shelter capabili.
ties in the school shelter pro-
gram.
That public apathy is fast dis.
appearing is borne out by the
vast number Of inquiries re-
ceived every day by the county
Civil Defense Office, the board
said.
In addition to advising more
personnel for the county divi-
sion, the board recommended:
That as many council mem.
bers as possible attend the Gov
ernor's Conference on shelters
and other Civil Defense meas
ures in Annapolis September %.
That the council should make
public statement of urgency
and state its intention to incor-
porate shelters In all new county
construction.
That emergency food and wa
ter supplies be placed In what
ever shelter Is available.
That county employees be
given in-hours training in radio
logical protection, first aid and
shelter design, and that first
priority in such training be des-
ignated for inspectors, tax as
SCISSORS and others expected to
participate in the federal survey
Of existing shelter potential in
existing buildings.
That training of all school
teachers In general Civil De-
tense matters be stepped up so
they can intelligently inform
their students.
The council recommended that
the advisory board work direct
ly with the Board of Education
in parts of the report concern
ing the schools.

Hearing
Divides
Citizens
Two GroupsLine
Up In Apartment
Zoning Request

A request for reclassifica-
ton of coming has divided
the ordinary quiet commun-
ity of Hungerford Towne,
Rockville.
The Mayor and City Council
of Rockville Monday evening at
the Civic Auditorium heard
neighbor speak against neigh
Dor in controversy involving a
plan to build apartments and a
six-acre recreation area on
about 20 acres of land on East
Montgomery ave. known as the
Dawson farm.
Jerome Korpeck, secretary,
representing a group of invest
ors, appeared at a public near
ing and requested that approx
mately 20 acres be rezoned from
residential to RIO which is
multiple family residential zon-
ing.
1t was pointed out that the
Rockville Master Plan, publish
ed in 1860, called for apartment
usage for this tract. In that
year RIO was the only apart
ment zoning in existence. How
ever, the Council changed the
apartment coming classification
from RIO to R-30. R,30 coming
allows IA apartments to an acre,
whereas RIO allowed 81 apart
ments.
Thurmond Donovan, land
planner, said that he thought
RIO is the most compatible
to existing single family coming.
Donald Gingery, member of
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
and one of the investors in
volved in this application, spoke
in favor of the coming and said
that the land is too valuable for
any other use. He showed the
City Council a model of the
apartments planned for the area
plus the garden-type grounds
and a six-acre recreation area
which includes two swimming
pools.
Gordon Mcdonald, president of
the Hungerford Towne Citizens
Association presented a petition
signed by over 100 residents of
Hungerford Towne, who favored
the re-clasSification. He further
stated that his Citizens Associa-
ton directed him to appear at
the hearing and speak in favor
of the rezoning.
However, it was apparent
that citizens of the community
were divided when Walter ].
Bejuki, also of Hungerford
Towne, presented a petition
signed by 1876 signatures. He
said he opposed the rezoning
because "such a large unit of
apartments would overcrowd
the schools, create traffic prob
lens and that the recreation
area promised would be made
quate."
Several other witnesses ap-
peared against the application
including Roland Paledus who
called the recreation area prom
Use a bride" Mrs. Carl Wagner
who said the schools would be
continued on double schedule
and Clyde Hardin from the west
end Of Rockville.
The City Council said it
would keep the record open for
10 days in order to receive addi-
tional information concerning
this application.
