For the last eight days, a
new washington hotel. with
q fancy, year-round pool
banquet and tavern facilities
for 1000 and rooms for 900
overnight visitors, has had only
two CD guests-and non-pay-
ing ones at that.
This may seem like a hotel
managers nightmare, but it's
not.
The two guests at the Inter-
national Inn on Thomas Circle
(the huge white building with
the sliding-dome pool in the
front yard) are Shirley Tat
tersfield, a blue-eyed blond,
and Marion (Tish) Ayres, a
blue-eyed brunette.

County Planners Revive
Wisconsin Corridor
Spurred by Building Proposal, Officials
Renew Proposal Dormant 3 Years

The Montgomery County
Planning Board yesterday or
dered the long-dormat Wis
consin avenue corridor to be
included in a new master plan
for the Bethesda area.
The boards resolution was
the first positive action the
planners have taken to estab-
lish a definite route for the
corridor.
Donald E. Gingery, planning
board member. who has been
the corridors advocate for the
past three years, described
yesterdays decision as "the
most important ever made" by
the planning group.
The Wisconsin avenue corri-
dor, the subject of a debate
between county and District
officials for the past five years,
is proposed as a major artery
bringing autos and rapid transit
from Montgomery County into
Washington's inner-loop system.
If the new master plan is
adopted, it would enable the
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
to reserve land and rights-of-
way for the artery. It also
would prohibit future building
in the corridors pathway.
In fact, it was an application
for a building pertinent for
$500, 900 office building which
spurrred the planning board
to order the immediate inclus-
ion of the Wisconsin avenue
corridor in a new master plan.
The board ordered the per-
mist held up at least until Mo-
fvember when the National
Capital Transportion Agency
will present its mass transit
Recommendations. These recon-
mendations are expected to in
clude the Wisconsin avenue
corridor.
Arthur K. Stellhorn. the
county planning director, said
he expected that it would re-
quire at least six months to
prepare the new master plan
ordered by the board.
The route of the corridor, he
said. probably will be the same
t as established by the staff
three years ago. 1t never was
2 included in a plan, however.
The National Capital Trans
! Iportation Agency already has
expressed its preference for a
mass transit system running
along the general line of Wis
consiIi avenue. Mr.. Stellhorn
said the corridor probably
would extend from the District
lime to the intersection of Old
Georgetown road and 70-S.
The route for the smile
corridor, Mr.. Stellhorn said,
probably would be the same as
established after public hear
ingS in 1859.

The
Rambler
Reports From
Top of World
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

There's another world less
than 100 miles from Wash
ington, the crest of the Blue
Ridge.
Now is the time to drop
everything and head for the
Skyline drive. The foliage
is at its peak.
We are just back from
Skyland, that cluster Of rus
tic overnight cottages Just
off the drive on Stony Man
Mountain.
You realize it's another
world when you step out Of
doors and take a deep
breath Of the mountain air.
You are bound to breathe
deep, for even at 5000 feet
the air is rarefied. It is
clean air that is cool, If not
cold, scented by pine and
distant wood fires and the
certainty that winter is
coming.
Shenandoah National
Park, a stretch of the Blue
Ridge that is about 100 miles
long and topped by the Sky
line drive, always closes the
season in a blaze Of glory
and a full house.
Admissions to the park for
the first time will total 2
million this year. Most Of
the visitors at this time are
from Virginia, Maryland
and Washington. But there
are a great many from Ohio.

has lived and died in their behalf.
The world Of men may be chaotic,

a purpose for the world and has

and purpose.

who works in us, but as / have
said, we also must work out our
own salvation. One of the ways
we do this is through prayer as the
personal expression Of our moral
and spiritual convictions.
The world today needs men who
believe that this is a good world
and who will work to make it a
better one; men to whom honesty
is not a policy, but their normal
state Of being; whose consciences
respond to right and truth with the
steadiness of the needle to the pole.
1t needs men who have the
courage Of their convictions and
dare to proclaim them though the
heavens tOtter and the earth yawns;
men who prefer honor to wealth,
truth to sOphistry, kindness to
cOvetOusness, mOdesty to vainglO-

humility to grandeur, usefulness
to reward.
II needs men who have found
their business in life and attend to
it; who neither lie, shirk, nor
NEEDLE; who have a definite aim,
go straight for it, and treat failures
as steppingstOnes to success; men
who dare to think for themselves,
to drink out Of their own wells and
eat their own sweet bread, earned
by the toll Of willing hands and
brains; men who, surrounded by
barnacles, bOres, busybOdies, IA

today is not to catch up with our

Russia. Fundamentally we are try.

world we now live in. We are in a
