that it can be passed very
shortly. because one of the
areas of concern in the econo-
my has been the slowness of
plant investment, and 1 think
if we can settle this matter of
the tax credit quickly I think it
can have a most stimulating
effect on new plant investment
this year.
Two, administrative revision
of the Internal Revenue guide
lines on the economic life of
depreciable asset. to m a K e
them more realistic and flexi-
BILE in terms of actual replace
ment practices. These revisions,
to be issued within the next
month, will also make over 81
billion in added cash reserves
available for additional bust
ness investment, and, thus,
these two actions combined,
which we hope will be taken in
the next 80 days, constitute, in
effect, a tax cut for American
business of over SIS billion.
Tax Reform Later
Three, a comprehensive tax
reform bill, which in no way
overlaps the pending tax credit
and loophole closing bill Of
fered a year ago. will be Of
fered for action by the next
Congress, making effective as
OF January l of next year, an
acroSs-the-board reduction in
personal and corporate income
tax rates which will not be
wholly offset by other reforms.
In other words, it is a net tax
reduction.
-Four, I have asked the Con-
greSS to provide standby tax
reduction authority to make
certain, as recommended by the
eminent Commission on Money
and Credit, that this tool could
be used instantly and effective
ly should q new recessionI
threaten to engulf us. The
House Ways and Means COM
mittee has been busy with 9TH
er important measures, but
there is surely more cause now
than ever before for making
such authority available.
Five, I have asked the Con-
gresS to repeal the 10 per cent
transportation tax on train
and bus travel, resulting in al
tax saving of $50 million q |
year, and to reduce 1t to 5 per
cent on airlines. Action on this
tax package will provide our
economy with all Of the stimu-
lus and safeguards now deemed
necessary, and I hope such ac-
ton will be forthcoming.
Pending Measures
Mention should be made also
OF other m asures already
pending before the Congress
which would be of immediate
help to our economic expan-
sion and our unemployed work.

ployment-and one out of ev-

textile industry. But the whole
job will be completed in the
next 80 days.
Awaits Senate Committee
The other action has passed
the House. 1t is now in the
Senate Finance Committee. 1t
can be of most valuable assist
ance where our economy has
the most difficulty. That is
the question of plant invest
mentS.
If we put these two together,
it amounts, as I say, to $2.5
billion and I think can be of
great assistance to the econ
omy, and I am very hopeful
that the Senate will act on
this legislation. If they do not,
of course, we will have to take
a look at the situation.
But this bill was proposed
last year. and a year has gone
by, and now we are going
through other months. I think
the fact that some companies
are uncertain as to whether
they are going to get the tax
credit does have a depressing
effect on their investment
policies.
Dividend Withholding
@. Mr.. President, in your in
troductory statement, you
didn't mention two items which
are in this years tax bill, the
Withholding on dividends and
interest, and the payments on
earnings of American firms
overseas before those earnings
are repatriated. Are you pre-
pared to relinquish this re-
quest now or to postpone it
until next year?
A. No, the major one of
course, which is the withhold
ing. is not a new tax. That
tax is on the books today and
has been for many years. All
we are now talking about Is a

Street Repairs
In Rush Hours
To Be CurtaiIed

Don't look now, dear ha-
rassed motorists, but the day
may be nigh when street and
utility repairs will stop tying
up entire lanes of traffic dur
ing those peak morning and
evening rush hours.
County Manager Mason A.
Butcher disclosed this week that
the State Roads Commission is
willing to instruct its personnel
to schedule their repair jobs so
that their men and equipment
are out of the traffic lanes when
the rush-hour motorist is on
the move in the County.
The commission said that the
same policy will apply in issuing
permits to utilities companies
for work within the rlght-of-Way
of major traffic routes.
Even the-excuse the express
sticky problem of how to
get around freshly-poured con.
crete in repaired roadways may
be solved before long.
The County Council has asked
Butcher to ask whether the re-
paired spots can't be covered
with steel plates while they're
drying, so the motorist can pass
over them.
Butcher has been instructed
to ask the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commission to
confine its sewer and water line
laying along major routes to
non-ruSh hours.
Just think. No more of those

Rockville
To Get New
Police Station

Montgomery County S
Purchasing Office has called
for competitive bids Sept. 6
at 3 pm. for construction of
a proposed new county police
station in Rockville.
An appropriation of $4,000
is provided in the current coun-
ty budget for the project,
planned to relieve badly congestl
ed conditions in the existing
quarters in the County Building.
1t will be built off Seven Locks
Road, a short distance from the
new County Jail.
Completion OF the three
story building Is expected
within a year from the date
of the contract award.
The structure will serve as
police headquarters for the
Rockville area and will be occu-
pied by a majority of the Off
GERS now working from the
County Building. However the
office of the police chief and re-
lated services will remain in the
present quarters as will the
communications system.
The basement of the building
will include garage space for
department vehicles, an innova-
ton, along with an indoor pistol
range and a locker room for
officers. The police desk will be
on the main floor, as will be
quarters for the traffic squad,
interview rooms, the station
commanders office, detention
facilities and office space for
justices of the peace.
Complete quarters for the
county's juvenile bureau will be
provided upstairs, along with
the detective headquarters and
the Identification bureau.

tvs division of highway main
tenance, that the shoulders were
scraped to assure proper drain.
age, it was labeled as public
vandalism" by Mrs. Stuart Tip
ton, one of the protestants. She
lives on Glen rd., about a half
a mile away from the grading
operation, but was among the
most active of those who OBJ
jected to the project.
Instead of the beautiful grass
that grew right up to the asph-
alt, we now have nothing but
clouds of dust" Mrs. Upton
said, in criticizing the action.
Here we have State and ma
tional agencies working to pre-
vent soil erosion by the plant
ing of grass, and the county
goes out and destroys it."
Mrs. Upton said the grass
shoulders maintained a con-
slant lawn-liIxe appearance
due to the joint moving eff
forts of home owners along
the mile-lOng stretch of road.
Powers said the grading was
necessary because the grass pre-
vented adequate drainage of the
road and created a water des-
truction problem. Furthermore,
he said, shoulder parking areas
are required by law.
The grading project was halt
ed temporarily when area resi-
dents came out to protest and
one woman threatened to lie
down in the path of the road
Scraper. 1t was resumed a short
time later, however, after Pow
ers explained its purpose.
Powers said he has heard no
thing to support a neighborhood
report that county officials are
planning to re-seed the Shout
ders with grass as a result of
the protests.

Rec Area
Projects
Approued

Over $4,000 will be spent
by the City of Rockville on
seven recreational and park
land areas within the NUM-
cipality between now and
next spring.
Decision to go ahead with de-
velopment of the recreational
areas came at the Monday night
meeting of the Mayor and Coun-
Gil.
Lions share of the total sum
of $44,650 goes to Twinbrook
recreational area. Plans orig
inally presented to the Mayor
and Council called for an expen-
diture of $4,000. Eloquent plea
by Councilman A. L. Tuchtan,
however, resulted in upping
Twinbrook's share of the recre.
ational pie to $11, 400.
Improvements in Twinbrook
call for addition of two new ten
mis- courts; resurfacing of the
one existing court; construction
of walkway along the creek
to new entrance placed away
from the ball field; construction
of multiple use asphalt area
next to the existing tennis
court; installation of additional
toilet facilities, and installation
of a drinking fountain.
In Rockcrest, approximately
$1,000 will be spent on landscap-
ing and for surfacing a basket
ball area.
The tennis court at Calvin
recreational area will be resur-
faced; the tennis court and null
tiple play area will be separated
by a 10-foot chain link fence;
an entrance to the court will be
made on Gladstone Dr., and an
other chain link fence will be
erected between the baseball
field and Gladstone. The sum
to be spent at Calvin is S2,250.
At Hillcrest, $500 will be spent
to construct a basketball area
behind the baseball backstop.
This includes grading and as
phalting the 30x35 foot area.
The Civic Center will have a
battery of four tennis courts at
a total cost of $4,000. Construc-
ton of four handball courts pro-
posed for the Center was aban-
doned.
Some 80 feet of basketweave
fencing and 800 feet of chain
link fence will be installed at the
Elwood Smith recreational area
at a cost of SLIGO. In addition,
$1,500 will be spent on shrub
berry, trees and sod.
About $500 will be spent on
the new Montrose area. Plant.
ing of trees will cost $1,000; a
concrete entry walk, $500; a
storage area and rest room Ito
become part of an eventual shell
teri, $1,000; and $4,000 will be
spent to construct a tennis
court.
The Elwood Smith area also
lost $500 to Twinbrook when
the Mayor and Council decided
to eliminate an additional 300
feet of basketweave fence pro.
posed to be erected between the
Teen Center and two homes in
the Stoneridge housing devel
opment.
In other Identification action
the Council voted to go ahead
with plans for landscaping the
grounds at City Hall. The City
Clerk was instructed to adver
tise for bids on trees and shrub
berry in line with a landscaping
plan submitted by Boris Tim
shenko, a Washington landscape
designer.
Cost of lsndscaping at City
Hall is estimated at about
$500.

The director of civil defense
has urged the continuing CO.
operation of building owners
in this survey. No buildings
will be designated as shelter
without the owners express
permission. Whether or not
the permission has been Civ
EN-, owners are urged to admit

Shelter areas. which meet Fed.

gencies. The federal government
will furnish these supplies to
the county for placement in
designated shelter areas.

435 Acres InUOEued
New Zoning Effort
Stirs Manor Club

Residents of the exclusive
Manor Club community, hav-
ing successfully fought one
battle against an attempt to
cut neighboring half-acre re-
sidential coming to shreds,
braced this week for a fresh
onslaught on not one but
four fronts.
They are expected to turn out
in force in the weeks ahead at
two public hearings before the
County Council, which has been
asked to reclassify over 435
acres of land north of Norbeck
road facing Manor Club from
half-acre to R-90 coming.
Four rezoning applications
are involved. All landowner-ap-
plicants are represented by the
Silver Spring law firm headed
by William B. Wheeler, who lost
his case on one of the parcels
to a Circuit Court decision 21a
years ago.
In that case, Earl Macintosh,
owner of 1871 acres of land adj
joining the northwest quadrant
of the intersection of Routes 20
and lis. sought County Council
authorization to change its half
acre coming to R-9O, which al
lows for 9000-square foot 1t.
The County Council granted
the rezoning by a split vote in
October, 1858, but hard-fought
appeal by the Manor Club Com
munity Association brought an
order for reversal from Circuit
Court Judge James H. Pugh,
who said Macintosh had failed
to show any change in the
neigborhood or any mistake in
the original R-R coming to JUS
tify Redistribution.
The property reverted to half
acre zoning, and Manor Club
residents and their attorney,
David Macdonald, relaxed.
Recent weeks, however, have
brought a reapplication from
Macintosh for R-90 coming, and
three additional applications
from owners of other adjoining
property for the same.
The new applications cover
122 acres Of land owned by a
corporation known as Burma
cham, Inc, and two parcels
one of Sc acres and the other Of
60-owned by Washington attor-
ney William T. Harmon.
They're back at us again."
said attorney Macdonald. "The
same people, and more Of
them"
Macdonald indicated Manor
Club homeowners will oppose
the latest applications as vigor-
ously as they did the first.
The rezoning requests on the
Macintosh and Burmacham
properties will be heard by the
County Council at s pm. Oct.
1 at the County Building In
Rockville.
The two Harmon rezoning APP
plications will be argued at a
public hearing before the Coun.
Gil at 8 pm. Sept. 13.
