Bond Sought
For Builders
In County

The Montgomery County
Planning Board yesterday rec
commended, by a 9-to-1 vote, a
requirement that builders post
bond to insure that streets and
storm drainage are completed
in subdivisions.
The measure, if adopted by
the county council, would force
developers to post cash bond,
surety or personal bond where
acceptable to the county coun-
Gil OF its designated representa-
tives."
The dissent came from Dom
aid Gingery, who protested
that it is "a rich mans regu-
lation."
This puts a burden on the
people who can least afford it."
he declared. The cost is not
only in dollars and cents, but
in time. The paper work in
volved is beyond comprehen-
SION"
He also called the regula-
ton "a blocking device, max
ing the normal course of busi-
ness so difficult that trade can
not be carried on"
Other board members point
ed out that the regulation was
recommended by the plannins
staff and approved by the
county council, and said they
doubted that it would be Q
burdensome one to builders.
A public hearing on the
measure will be held at 8 pm

Overposs Low Bidders
BoIk at Accepting Job

Construction of a 81 million
overpaSS to carry New York
avenue over North Capitol
street is being delayed because
two contractors say they made
an error on their bids for the
job.
Harold L. Aitken, District
highway director, described the
situation as very unusual"
Six companies bid on the
project on March 13, and the
Gunnell Construction Co. OF
Washington submitted the low
offer of $1,272,575.
However, officials of the COM
pany later told the District they
had made a $500, 900 mistake on
their bid because they had
neglected to include the cost OF
metal sheeting called for in the
specifications.
Mr.. Altken said the argument
was rejected and that the Dis
trict made an attempt to award
the contract to Gunnell. How
ever. he said, Gunnell refused
to accept the contract and the
company's bid deposit bond OF
100000 has been attached.
This deposit could be used to

BY then they would have to
take the equivalent of a years
study to obtain an advanced
professional certificate.
The original advanced cer-
tificate would be for six years.
and renewable every 10 years.
Local school authorities would
have authority to set up addi-
tional requirements for re-
newal.
If they fail to meet any of
the additional requirements,
teachers would be issued pro-
visional certificates. These
would be up for renewal every
year and salaries would be
lower.
Maryland teachers with 80
years of service or so years of
age would not have to comply
with the additional credit re-
quirements if they become ef-
fective as planned July l.
The recommendations con-
sidered by the State board were
drafted by a committee Of
school superintendents headed
by Wilbur Hoopengartner Of
Caroline County. They have
been in the works for five years.

difference between the amount
of the low bid and the actual
cost of the job.
The District then tried to
award the contract to the next
lowest bidder, Princemont Con-
struction Corp. of Rockville,
Md, which had submitted an
offer Of $1,290,77O. But this
company contended that it
had made a $4,000 mistake in
its figures for supplying guard
railing.
Mr.. Aitken said he is now
reviewing the whole case and
expects to decide soon what
further action the District will
take. He said he is inclined to
take a strict view Of the situa-
ton.
These contractors have got to
realize that bidding is a serious
business" Mr.. Aitken said.

"A required year of post
graduate college study for
teachers in the county schools
Of Maryland had tentative ap-
proval of the State Board of
Education today.
The extra year would be

yesterday to the first general
overhaul of teacher creditation
since it was established in
1922.
The board hoped to agree
on final details at its May 81

OF IL major areas of change
the fifth year Of required col
lege study would have the
heaviest impact.
After college graduation
with a bachelors degree. teach
ers would be hired in Mary

LAUREL ASTIR
False Alarm
OfExpIosion
Upsets own

A report Chat a parked car
contained enough explosives to
blow up half the town" caused
considerable excitement in Lau-
rel. Md, yesterday.
AS it turned out, the car
yielded principally an assort-
ment of junk. But it was
enough of a scare to cause
evacuation of about 25 homes
and the shifting of some 400
students at nearby Laurel High
School into the school gym
naSium.
The only articles of an eX-
plosive nature in the car,
according to Laurel'S Town
Manager George S. Barkman,
were a box containing several
hundred packs of safety
matches, their backs torn off,
and two .45-caliber cartridges.
The box burst into flames
and the bullets exploded after
an Army demolition team from
Fort Meade removed it from
the car and put it on the street,
Mr.. Barkman said.
The town manager said in
vestigators could not determine
what triggered the fire. He said
the box suddenly caught fire
with a "phoof," Is or 20 Sec
onds after it was placed on the
street. The cartridges exploded
with a pop" seconds later while
some one went to a nearby
house for water to douse the
fire.
Eight State police cars and
five Laurel town policemen
went to the scene in the 600
block of Prince George street.
Their car radios were turned
off for fear they might set off
an explosion.
Residents Of homes within
500 feet of the parked car
were directed to leave. The
Laurel High School students
were moved from one side of
the building to the other. The
car was about a block
from the school.
Laurel officials were alerted
that the car might be filled
with dynamite after getting
telephone call from the wife
of a man sent to Spring Grove
! State Hospital for mental OBJ
servation earlier in the week.
The woman told police her hus-
band had called her from the
hospital and said his car was
filled with dynamite ready to
blow up the town"
/ The alarm was received about
1880 pm. 1t was two hours
before everything was reported
secure and the alert called off.

MunWounds
Policeman
With Gun

A Prince Georges County
policeman was wounded early
today by shotgun blast which
police said an Oxon Hill Md
man fired as they we're at
tempting to arrest him.
Pvt. Michael J. O'Brien, %,
assigned to the Upper Marl-
boro station, was hit in the left
leg by nine shotgun pellets
fired by Virgil L. Myers. At,
from his home at 4810 Wheeler
Hills road, according to De-
tective E. G. Husk.
The policeman had gone
there following the complaint
of District cab driver who
reported that Myers had theat-
ened him as they drove to
Maryland in the cab.
Pvt. O'Brien, with the cab
driver in his police car. spotted
Myers entering his front yard
and shouted for him to halt.
Instead, Detective Husk re-
ported, Myers ran into his
home, grabbed a .16-gauge
shotgun and pointed it out the
front door
He fired a blast which hit
the policeman in the leg, and
Pvt. O'Brien summoned more
help, Detective Husk said.
Within q snort time more
police cars and a searchlight
truck we're on the scene and
flooded the house with lights.
Three more blasts were fired
before Myers walked from the
house, unarmed, and surrend-
cred, the detective said.
After his surrender Myers
was charged with assault with
intent to kill Pvt. O'Brien and
with a simple assault charge
sworn out by the cab driver,
Detective HuSk said
The wounded policeman was
admitted to Prince Georges
General Hospital, where he was
reported in good condition.
! Myers was held under $4,000
bond on the two charges, but

Court was continued until May

once sewer and water lines are
put in an agricultural area. The
Levitt firm has let contracts
for about SIS million to build
water and sewage treatment
plants for Belair which will

Mr.. Welsh also charged that
Mr.. Gisuque's boss, the Mary

and Planning Commission, had
gone out of its way to create
a special zoning category for
Belair.
It's not R-8O, it's L-8O for

Mr.. Giauque countered that
R-80 was not designed spe-
officially for Belair but for
communities like Belair. The
Prince Georges Planning Board
agreed unanimously on Satur-
day that R-80 wuld be the
proper category for 1900 acres
of the Belair property. They
recommended against the R-55
zoning.
If the commissioners con-
cur with the planning board
report, it will be making a
goat out OF a man because he's
big and not a local man." Mr..
Welsh said.
Only two area residents sp-

the establishment of an agri-

cussion yesterday on three mas

He declared that such farm
zoning was perfectly logical"
because the county has 493
square miles, of which 81 now
are in urban use. The estimated
doubling of population in Mont
gomery by 1880 would occupy
another So to rs square miles
of land now being farmed, he
estimated.
This means that only about

use with approximately $50
square miles not required for
development, and within which

be prohibited" Mr.. Bartholo-

Come the first two weeks in
June, District high schools will
go collegiate.
Supt. Carl F. Hansen an
nounced yesterday that this
years final exams-for the first
time-will be given collegiate
style, with the student attend
ing school only on those days
when his exams are scheduled.
When he's answered all the
questions he'll be free to go
home and prepare for the next
one.
DR.. Hansen announced the
plan at a meeting of the school
board.
It's believed. he said, that the
campus-style schedule not only
will increase student interest
in taking the exams, but will
create a more serious and stu
dious attitude toward final
exams in general.
1t also will give the harried
pupils. particularly the seniors
who are preparing to graduate,
a more at-ease atmosphere in
which to prepare and take the
exams, officials said.
They may do a lot better, "
one observer said, "if they can
feel grown up"
Dr.s Hansen made the an
nouncement in a prepared re-
port in which he described the
giving Of finals in District
school for the first time last
year as highly successful. u
Previous to last June, final
exams here were unheard of.
Our experience last year,
he said. has confirmed the in
Itial hypothesis that final eX-
