Politics and PLANNING


three plans for upper Montgomery
County, which have created such loud
and bitter controversy between the
County Council and the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission, were approved as official
documents last April. For these plans
are part and parcel of larger and far
more comprehensive plan Of develop
ment for the entire county which will
be presented to the Planning Commits
sion on December by its staff and
conSultants. No doubt changes will be
made in the larger plan, some Of which
may satisfy, at least in part, criticism
voiced by members of the Council. In
any event, these issues will be more
susceptible to sound analysis within the
context of the countrywide plan.
AS to the specifics of the three
smaller plans, we believe there is room
for question. Certainly there appears
to be large amount of relatively high
density zoning proposed in the upper
reaches of the county, which hardly
seems likely to discourage urban sprawl
or to encourage the preservation of open
spaces. 1t will be particularly interesting
to see what the general plan has to say
on this score.
Unfortunately, however, the dispute
between the Council and the planners
is not limited to upper-county coming
and land use, but is heavily intermixed
with politics. There are those on the
Council, for example land their actions
must be viewed in this light, who favor
the abolition Of the Planning Commits
sion, and who want direct control of
planning by the Council. This, in our
opinion is absurd. The Planning Com
mission Is an effective regional agency
which has accomplished many excellent
results over long period of years. We
hope that the citizens of Montgomery
will recognize this, and will lend no
support to those who seek to Scuttle a
valuable asset.
Under the generally commendable
form Of planning which prevails in
Montgomery, there is a delicate balance
OF responsibility. The Planning Com
mission has the sole authority for
drafting and adopting master plans
which,. advisory in nature, should not
be subject to rejection by the politically
responsive Council But there obviously.
on the other hand, should be the closest
possible rapport on planning principles,
since the Council in the long run has
the power to implement the plans
through its exercise of zoning authority.
Unless this agreement exists, the plans
lose much of their meaning as practical
guides to development.
The greatest immediate need, there
fore, is that officials of both the Council
and the commission should swallow their
pride, sit down together and attempt
in the public interest to agree on the
basic philosophy of the general plan
which is being prepared by conSultant
Harland Bartholomew-before all the
details of the plan are set. A continu-
alton OF the controversy which now
exists can only prolong an atmosphere
OF chaos and confusion in which land
spectators will thrive, and in which all
the benefits of sound planning will be
lost

Among advantages claimed

in some. The device also has
been used with good results
in treating bronchial asthma.

PARIS
It's curious how political
oddities seem to repeat them
selves in many places and
even on both sides of the
Iron Curtain. And it's re-
markable how easy it is for
people to translate these od-
dities into terms with which
they are themselves only too
familiar.
Today an upSurge of
activity on the extreme right
wing of American politics -
the John Birchers and their
ilk - is being taken in
Europe as proof that there is
nothing new under the
political sun.
Kennedy, like deGaulle,
has his ultras," is a popular
saying in France these days.
On a wider scale the parallel
between "Stalinists" in Rus
sia and "neo-McCarthyites"
in the United States provides
fodder for many a European
pundit.
Inexact as many of these
comparisons may be the
parallel between what is 60
ing on at home and the
situation in France is strik-
ingly similar in many details.
The political aims of French
"ultras" and American.
radical rightistS" may be
poles apart. But the under
lying philosophy Of the
arguments resorted to and
the effect produced are at
times almost indistinguish-
able.
In many ways the John
Bircher would feel at home in
France today.
He would find, for example
plenty of Edwin Walkers
both in and out of Jail to
agonize about. AS in the
United States, the French
military has found itself
often against its will, showed
in the center of controversy
The role of the army in the
political life Of the country
and the right of military men
to express and promote their
political opinions have been
questions of passionate pub
lie debate in recent months
And there is the same group
of conservative politicians
to bewail the muzzling OF
their more outspoken war
riors, even though the safety
of the state, itself, has
seemed at times to require it.
