A Catholic priest, a woman

a church rectory.
The four witnesses have Just

the case - is the fact that the
holdup triggered the death of a
retired priest who suffered a

that open spaces be bought the
same way schools, roadways
and parklands are acquired.
Marvin Simmons of the Board
of Realtors said his group op-
poses the coming because sit
forces an unrealistic mainte-
nance of open spaces.
The county c ia m Der of

voiced by Matthew Wittenstein,
who said the zone wouldn't
carry out the long-range pur-
poses of open space preserva-
ton and that it would prove
severely harmful" to all areas
of the county's economy.
He stressed that uncertainty
as to open space coming under
the impending general plan has
resulted in the county falling
behind Prince Georges and
Fairfax Counties in building
permits issued during the last
six months.

established in rural areas -
even with corridors of develop

the Council it should not zone
land and then sit back to see
what will happen"
Nearly as much county land
has passed into urban use with
in the past ten years as in the
entire previous history of the
county, he declared, adding that
adequacy of existing land must
be considered in terms of fu-
ture population.

To Be PrObed
The October Grand Jury
will be asked by States At
torney Leonard T. Hardy to
investigate three defeated
candidates in the May pri-
mary who were connected
with certain building and
loan associations now in re-
ownership.
Hardy said he will request in
vestigation into campaign con-
tributions received by the three,
as well as sums expended in the
campaign, in order to determine
whether or not any assets of
the building and loan firms
were dumped into the election.
The matter of whether or not
the three are in violation of the
States Corrupt Practices Act in
the matter of filing true state
ments of campaign expenses
also will be checked, Hardy said.
The three defeated candidates
Hardy said the Grand Jury will
be asked to investigate are Her
bert ]. Hoover, who ran for
Democratic nomination to the
U. S. Senate and was second
high spender among all Demo-
Gratis who ran for office here;
William j. Amelse, who spent
S11,664 in order to win nomi-
nation to run for Congress on
the COP ticket; and Thor Rings
from, defeated candidate for
nomination to the House of
Delegates.
Hoover's campaign fund, Kar-
dy said, totaled $34,448. "Of this
$500 was contributed by indi-
viduals, some of whom had
known connections with build
ing and loan firms. Another SILL
600 was raised by a testimonial
dinner, he added. Hoover is,
more or less, a political un-
known" Hardy said land we're
interested in finding out who
was behind the testimonials.
We're also interested" he added,
"in finding out whether or not
any money from Chicago syndi-
Gates came Hoover's way"
The building and loan associa-
tons in receivership which
Hardy said the three defeated
candidates were connected with
are Maryland Thrift Savings
and Loan and First General Saw
ings and Loan"
At the time he asks for in
vestigation of Hoover, Amelse
and Ringstrm, Hardy said he
will ask the Grand Jury ito go
into the whole picture of cam
paign expenditures in Montgo-
merry County during the recent
Primary"
There are a number of viola
tons of the Corrupt Practices
Act" Hardy stated. "Some of
them are purely technical in
character but the States Attor-
ney's office believes it is time to
go into the whole picture. For
one thing" he added, 1--WE want
to go into the matter of corpor-
alton checks which may have
been given to some candidates.
Giving of corporation check to
a candidates campaign fund"
Hardy said, ''is direct violation
of the law and where we suspect
that this has occurred, it will be
taken up with the Grand Jury
this fall.
