an examination to be given ap-

it would be offered within
about month. I'VE ought to

understood he would be given
the names Of the successful ap-
plicants, along with a report of
their test results, and would be
given the option of appointing
the squad members. Until the

County Council
Votes Against
City Location

A controversial proposal
to construct a new firehouse
for the Rockville Volunteer
Fire Department in the
Twinbrook sector of the city
was rejected by the Montgom-
cry County Council on Tuesday.
The council unanimously
adopted a resolution disapprov-
ing the Halpine rd.-Ardennes
ave. location favored by the fire
department, terming it mot a
suitable site for the location of
a fire department substation.
The action ended a contro-
versy that flared heatedly after
residents of the area and the
Rockville City Council first be-
came aware of the proposed
firehouse location through a
news story in The Sentinel. In
subsequent hearings before the
City Council and the County
Council, Twinbrook residents
voiced strong protests against
the plan to locate the facility in
their residential neighborhood.
Alternate Site Suggested
City officials, obviously milf
ed at learning of the location
through the newspaper rather
than from the firemen them
selves, offered the use of city
condemnation powers to help
the department acquire an al
ternate site.
In its resolution rejecting the
plan, the County Council agreed
with nearby residents that the
facility would increase conges-
ton in the area and add to
traffic hazards.
"The County Council finds
that ingress and egress to the
proposed site from Veirs Mill
I'd. and Rockville Pike would
have to be over streets that are
barely adequate to serve the
present needs of the community
and that to further longest
those streets with emergency
traffic incidental to the opera
ton of a volunteer fire depart
ment would present a safety
hazard to residents of the i'm
mediate area" the resolution
said.
Grade Crossing Cited
The council also noted that
fire equipment, to proceed west
on Halplne rd., would be re-
quired to traverse a grade
crossing of the main line of the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad.
1T is the opinion of the council
that in order to properly serve
the emergency needs of the
area, that any new facility
should be located where there
is ready access to main arteries
leading in all directions to be
served" its resolution said.

Expenditure Far
Exceeds Amount
LIN 1861 Budget
By william H. smith

Montgomery County's UNI
precedentedly rigorous VIM
ter season not only has been
cold--it's been expensive.
With more, and possibly
the worst to come, the cost of
removing snow dumped by four
vicious storms already has ex-
ceeded 100000, Public Works
Director Joseph c. Kordella
told The Sentinel this week.
The cost is 10 times the $50.
600 allocated in the 1960.61
county budget for snow remov-
al. 1t has been paid to date
from money budgeted for nor
NAL operations of the public
works department, Kordella
said, but because of the abnor.
mally high expenditure due to
snow removal, it will be neces-
sary for him to request the
County Council for a supple.
mental appropriation at some
time In the future.
No Damage Estimate
He said he would not attempt
to determine the amount Of the
additional funds needed until
his department has had an op.
portunity to assess the damage
to roads and highways caused
by the unusual volume of snow
and consistently low tempera-

The proposal suggested locat-
ing the pool at the County Poor
Farm or on a similar site in or
near Rockville. Greene said he
thinks the project can become
self-supporting.

Emergency
Snow Law
Favored

The Montgomery County
Council is expected to give
its endorsement next week to
a proposed State bill which
would make the use of auto
chains or snow tires mandatory
under emergency conditions.
Council members reacted fav-
orably to the proposal this week
when their endorsement was re-
quested by Public Works Direc-
tor Joseph c. Kordella, but de-
ferred formal action because
Kordella did not have available
a copy of the bill spelling out
its precise terms.
However, the public works
official said he understood the
measure, sponsored by the State
Roads Commission, would be
generally similar to the Dis
trict of Columbia's snow law
under which penalties can be
imposed on motorists who be-
come stalled on emergency
routes due to the lack of snow
tires or chains.

Penalties Provided

Penalties Provided
The measure, effective on all
State highways, would also pro-
vide for imposition Of penalties
on motorists who abandon their
autos ON principal thorough
fares during snowstorms, Kor-
della said. In response to a
question from Councilman Joe
M. Kyle, he said he felt a coun-
ty ordinance might also be de-
sirable to make the emergency
measure applicable on local
roads not covered by the State
law.
Kordella, whose department
has been wrestling with the
physical havoc wrought by four
early-winter snowstorms, also
asked for authority to remove
automobiles which remain park
ed for extended periods on
public parking lots in the coun-
ty. He said the parked vehicles
have impeded snow removal
work on the parking lots, citing
IA automobiles which remained
on a public lot in Bethesda for
more than week after a heavy
snowfall.
Legal Action Feared
Kordella said he doesn't dare
attempt to move the offending
cars because of the possibility
of lawsuits against the county
in the event of inadvertent
damage.
A note of levity was injected
into the discussion when Coun-
Gilman Grover K. Walker re-
marked: There must be some
kind of law like that, because
my car has been moved from
the county parking lot twice
since I've been on the Council"
On one occasion, he said, it was
lowed away from the lot and
placed in nearby garage.
Asked how much it cost him,
the former council president re-
piled: 1T didn't cost me any
thing. but il could have

its proponents as part of a de-

BY RICK DU BROW
UPI Hollywood Writer

HOLLYWOOD CUPID - Why
has poet Carl Sandburg spent
nearly one year in Hollywood
working on a movie script
when he has three or four
books" waiting to be written?
The main reason is his COM
plete devotion to one man-Di-
rector George Stevens = with
whom he is collaborating on a
film about Christ, "The Great
est Story Ever Told"
Sitting in his spacious office
at Goth Century-Fox Studios,
the 83-year-old Illinois-born poet
said he originally decided to
work on the movie primarily be-
cause of his admiration for Ste
vens' pictures.

Giant three times before I even
met him." said Sandburg.
II would rate his pictures
Shane "A Place In the Sum and
The Diary of Anne Frank as
having an Importance as clas-
sics-a little more important to
be used in high schools and col
leges than the plays of Shakes

The white-haired poet said
Shakespeare is over-rated. /

he lived in a period when there
was a drenching of blood over
religion-yet you don't find him
doing anything with some of
those momentous issues that
John Milton wrote about.
you can't look down at
Shakespeare. Oh, he had a rich
life of it. There are times when
he sings"
Lighting UP a short cigar,
Sandburg explained his function
in the making of the film:
Maybe a quarter of the
script is written. I've only done
some small scenes here and
there, and / sit in on confer
ences to counsel. When we have
a finished script, I'll 60 over
that much more carefully.
you know, when you go to
the Enclopedia Britannica and
turn to the heading of Jesus
Christ, you'll find the first few
sentences say something like:
Those who attempt to write
biography of Jesus should aban-
don this task.
But there is a story. 1t amt
a biography, but a story. And
although there are various
faiths, there is a Christian fam
lily of 300 million people who be-
lieve it is the greatest story

the picture until February or

current unexpended balance of

doubled to $407 million. Exag-
geration of this sort is distinctly
out of line with the needs of the
country and I was unable to
vote for the $40 billion bill.
l voted for extension of the
present Housing program for
an additional year. I did so
knowing that the present pro-
gram had not only proved to
be adequate but that some ex-
listing housing appropriations
will be unexpected at the end of
the current fiscal year. An ex-
tension of the existing program
is sufficient to meet our urgent
needs in housing while we as
sess our defense needs in the
light of our deteriorating for
eign policy.
