after last nights hearing or
an application by Saks Fifth

shop on Wisconsin avenue

The New York speciality store
asked rezoning of a tract
bounded by Oliver and Mont
gomery streets, opposite the
town of Somerset and adjoin-
ing Chevy Chase Village.

On the other side, there was
strong opposition by hundreds
of homeowners in the neigh

houses ranging in price from
$4,000 to $50,00O.

Petition Offered
| Ned Brooks, radio newscast-
er, said his home would be only
200 feet from the proposed
parking lot for the store, and
offered a petition with 3I2 sig
natures opposing the coming
change.
The official record was filled
to the brim with petitions both
pro and con. Favoring the zon-
ing were representatives of the
Montgomery County Chamber
Of Commerce, Rollingwood Cit
izenS Association and many
others who were unable to tes-
tify because of time limitations.
Speaking for the opposition,
Leslie Williams, a city planning
expert from Pennsylvania, said
his study of the site convinced
him that construction of a store
there would create traffic tur-
bulence on a highway already
operating at capacity"
Members of the council took
the problem under advisement

On Cultural Center

President Kennedy is ex-

mental decisions within the
next few days. regarding the
effort to build a National Cul-
tural Center in Washington.
A White House spokesman
said that, before the President
goes to Florida a week from
tomorrow, he will decide
whether to enlarge the citizens
committee Of the cultural cen
ter and whom to appoint to the
two vacancies on its board OF
trustees.
Also, the President is ex-
pected to name a national fig
ure to head the Embarrassing
drive for the SIS million cen
ter. The board Of trustees has
recommended that the center
be built in stages rather than
all at once, with the first stage
estimated to cost $50 million.
The New York firm of G. A,
Brakeley has been engaged to
guide the money-raising effort
for the center.
Currently, the board of trus-
tees consists of Is citizen men,
bers and Is administrators
from within the Federal Gov
ernment. The boards execu-
tive committee is considering
a recommendation to enlarge
the citizen membership from Is

asked Congress to enlarge the

The committee, after its hear
ing, must decide whether to
give the resolution a traditional
second hearing or to act at
once. Immediate action would
be unusual, Senator Mecham
said.
After a committee report,
Ohio bills must lay over one
day before they are put on the
calendar for action, according
to Senator Mecham.,
New Hampshire Situation
A public hearing today was
set for Tuesday, April 4, by the
House Judiciary Committee in

weeks later than Washington

to mean little trouble appears
ahead for the amendment.
This preceded receipt of the
Shipley telegram. Whether
State leaders now will cut
through procedural delays to
put the amendment over in Re-
publican State Houses was
uncertain.
Mr.. Shipley told lawmakers
that District Republicans were
extremely anxious" that the
three remaining Republican
States be counted among the
original 38 States necessary to
make the amendment effective.
He also wired minority lead
