Quarry Site
Is Approved
By Planners

Approval of a rezoning Pc
ton to clear the way for a
quarry on White Grounds
rd. near Boyds Station has
been recommended by the
Montgomery County Planning
Board.
The application by Garvin Z.
Tankersley seeks the reclassi-
fication of the property from
R-R (rural residential to ~
(heavy industriaD.
In their opinion, the plan
ners said, the property is a
source of diabase stone, which
would aid local economic devel-
opment because of its need for
highway and building construc-
ton.
"A local supply source of
such stone" the board said,
will save the taxpayers of
Montgomery County thousands
of dollars in excess transporta-
ton costs and will provide
employment opportunities, an
increased tax base and addi.
tional revenue to the county"

Columbia Road
Citizens Make
Request to Board
-Leet-Melbrook Photo

Members of the Columbia
Road Citizens Association,
viewing the possibility of
nuclear attack with real
alarm, have a sked the
Montgomery Count Council and
Board of Education to adopt a
three-point school shelter pro.
gram.
In a resolution passed by the
Silver Spring association, it is
recommended that the council
and the School Board:
/. Adopt a protective policy
for county school children,
founded on a substantial prob
ability of atomic bombing of
this area within the next II
months.
2. Adopt a bomb shelter con-
struction program designed to
protect all school populations
against the effects of a maxi
mum nuclear attack.
3. Accord the construction of
such shelters priority over con-
struction of other school facili-
ties, whether planned or in proc
ess of construction.
Association members stated
the belief that danger to school
children from nuclear attack is
more pressing than from any
civil dangers, such as fire, and
expressed concern over the lack
of any protection of school chill
dren in case of an attack during
school hours.
Their resolution asks shelter
protection because evacuation
has become an obsolete and dan.
gerous civil defense method, and
shelter Is the only way we can
assure the choices for survival
of our school population"

Council Approves
Sewer Plans For
Period Of One Year

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission this week won the first round in its
current guessing game with long.range PLAN
ners over sewer development in Montgomery
County within the next five years.
Caught between possible conflict of the
WSSC's five,year sewer plan with existing
and future long.range plans for land use in
the upper county, the County Council decided
Wednesday night against vetoing any of the
sewer projects proposed for 1862 largely to
meet 'exsting needs and put off action on
proposals for later sewer extensions.
BY law the Council was obliged to sub
NIT any vetoes of projects recommended for
the 1862 fiscal year by today.
In their 11th-hour discussion of the
WSSCs proposals, Council members repeat
edly indicated their unwillingness to commit
themselves beyond the next year, within
which, they hope one of several major blue
prints proposed for future county develop
ment may be decided upon.
Among these are the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commission-ap-
proved master plans for three major areas.
recommendations of the recentlyreleased
Year 1000 Plan offered by the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission and Regional Plan
ming Council and the forthcoming develop
ment program being prepared by noted plan
ming consultant Harland Bartholomew.
The Council has been under pressure for
some time from citizens groups to vote down
portions Of the five.year program which call
for extension of sewer lines into areas which
have been earmarked as open spaces. Sewer
extensions usually lead to increased develop
ment in the areas served, they argue.
The Councils own topIevel coordinating
committee appointed to iron out conflicts
between the WSSC planners and advocates
of open paces-recommended the Council
should not commit itself beyond 1862.
Council president pro tenn David Cahoon
pointed out that WSSCs program beyond
that point may have to be modified by final
determination Of a land use policy for the

than Daniel Buchanan. SO, who
founded the Moral Re-Arma-
ment Movement and held the
world could not compromise
between good and evil, died
last night after a heart attack.
His last words, an associate
reported, were: May man form
governments of strong men
who are guided by God"
This was in the spirit of his
preachings Of many years-that
God should rule the world. To
him this philosophy was so
simple and so self-evident that
he never seemed to understand
the controversy that often Sur
rounded his movement.
This was founded as the Ok
ford Group after World War !
and renamed Moral Re-Arma-
ment in 1888. From the out
set, the movement was at
tackled by Socialists and labor
leaders for an alleged capital
istic bias, by others for paci-
ficism and by some religious
leaders for unorthodox the
ology.
But DR.. Buchanan built up a
following of millions and be-
came a friend of kings and
statesmen. Every year more
than 100000 followers came to
his headquarters in Switzer-
land overlooking Lake Geneva.
Other thousands gathered at

Only Of 7 CD Chiefs
In Area Has Shelter

tions Of the Washington Metro
politan Area asked that theil
names be withheld because they
said, the fact they have no
shelter would be professionally
embarrassing and might impair
the family fallout shelter pro-
gram.
One said yesterday he doesn't
have a shelter because he lives
in a bachelor apartment and,
in an emergency, probably
would be at work.
Another, who said his family
has plans to go somewhere
else in the event Of an attack, -
said he plans to- build one just
for the public relations value
because it's becoming embar-
RAISING to have to explain why
he does not have one.
Another claimed, IT have a
very good basement, with ac-
cess to a WE'LL"
Civil Defense publications,
however, indicate the need for
building an additional concrete
block room within the ordinary
basement to increase shielding
from radiation.

yard would have to go, one Of
