An Editorial
Basic Urbon Renewed Need

Rockville moving slowly but schedule toward its
big urban renewal dream must bear thing sharply and
clearly in mindhe need for big department store that
will anchor for the citys commercial center of
the future
Some of the city heads, believe accept the idea of
large department store in the proposed for urban
renewal But understand some of them do not know
fully they should how basic the attraction of such
facility to the city is to any such PLAN 1t is trs self
evident obviousof crucial mporance-that big depart

The ctys Urban Renewal Advisory Council in its re-
cent report wisely recommended inclusion of department
store the commercial center But failed note in the
report the emphasis that such recommendation should
receive.
The suburban tidal wave has already reached Rock

Rockville surely is predestned to be the next big

This is natural and inevitable due to several factors.
The city will be in the heart of the big population corridor
that is proposed in all major existing plans for the countys

Segregated
Housing End
Urged Here

Montgomery County was
urged this week to outlaw racial
discrimination in private hous-
ing by an official of the u. S.
Commission on Civil Rights.
Berl l. Bernhard, who is staff
director of the USCCR and a
resident of Chevy Chase, also
took to task the Maryland-Na-
t1onal Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission for not under
taking a study of this social
question" and, possibly, giving
some encouragement to others.
Bernhard pointed out the re-
cently-completed M-NCPPC gen.
eral plan does not even mention
the problem let alone consider
it, and he believes it is one that
should have been studied.
The suburbs cannot remain
racially pure indefinitely, Bern
hard said in an address at River
Road Unitarian Church, Bethes-
da. Negroes comprise only four
per cent of the county's total
population and most of them
live in isolated rural COMMUNE
ties of the county.
Il do not believe that in a
time Of rising aspirations and
increasing economic OppOrtu-
mites for Negroes the old
| ghettOs will continue to exist"
he told the Unitarians.
"Desegregation must eventu-
ally come to Montgomery Coun-
ty," Bernhard said, and the only
question is how will it come
about-through careful plan.
ming or through the efforts of
the real estate Spectator and
the blockbuster?"
]. Newton Brewer, vice chair
man of the M-NCPPC, said in
reply to Bernhard's statement,
"We've never concerned our
selves with social problems of
the county this is not a
matter for the commission"

New Law
On Wells
IsPutOff

Adoption of a stringent
new regulation governing
construction and installation
of private water wells was
put off by the County Coun-
Gil this week when the ques-
ton of a hardship to
drought-ridden up count y
residents arose.
Councilman Jerry T. Williams
of Damascus objected to a pro-
vision in the proposed ordinance
which would have forbidden
location of wells in low-lying
floodlands.
County Attorney Alfred H.
Carter told Williams the pro-
vision was designed to protect
wells from soil, sediment and
other impurities which might
seep in from the top during
periods of high water.
Williams conceded the idea
was good, "but if you can't find
water anywhere else, what are
you going to do?"
He pointed out that in Damas-
Gus, you're lucky to find
water. It's all down Ia TIC low
lands, and if everybody had to
have his well on high ground
they'd be in trouble today"
At the request of both Will
liams and Councilman Joe M.
Kyle, Carter agreed to discuss
the provision further with Coun-
ty Health Officer William J..
Peoples.
Additional Council discussion
of the proposed ordinance
brought out that though it
would require chlorinators or
other water publication devices
to be installed on new wells, the
ordinance makes no provision
for enforcing their use.
Councilman Grover X.
Walker Of Gaithersburg gues-
toned why 1t is necessary to
go to the expense of a chlOr-
inatOr If the water well checks

Carter:
Because the health officer
says it may not be okay in sew

She said she hopes to get the

thinks the showers should "be
optional in such a manner that
modest little girls won't be

Its correct to say that we do
require a note from home on
this, but we have this ruling be-
cause we feel that if a girl

subject" he said.

Strong Role
Is Advocated
For Planners
By Roger b. Farquhar
Sentinel Reporter

The Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission should be con-
tinued and its role in shap-
ing the future of the nearby
Maryland suburbs should be
strengthened, the Institute
of Pu bile Administration
said in a report yesterday.
The IPA findings, after a
three-week study, conflict sharp
ly with a six-month long study
of local government functions
made by another firm, Public
Administration Service, which
said the M-NCPPC should be
abolished.
PAS, retained by the County
Council for a $4,000 study,
found that M-NCPPC powers
are SO sweeping, and its role in
shaping planning policy so
decisive, that it often clashes
with views of the elected Coun-
ty Council which, it said, should
be the planning policymaker.
Therefore, PAS concluded,
M-NCPPC should be abolished
and Its planning functions
turned over to the county gov
eminent.
In what has been interpreted
as retaliatory move, the en-
battled M-NCPPC announced
Sept. 10 it had retained IPA to
conduct an independent study
for 81, 800.
Conceding that M-NCPPC
powers are already great, the
PA, noted: mo other region
al planning agency In the
United States has It's breadth
of power or performs as
many functions through re-
view and approval of plan
ming and land use controls"
This served to corroborate the
PAS findings which were that
the County Council Is not
master of Its own house" and,
therefore, the planning agency
should be axed.
Discussing M-NCPPC powers,
the IPA report noted further
that flew regional planning
agencies can match M.NCPPCs
independent fiscal resources, itg
relative freedom of action, or
the broad scope of its review
power" And it continued:
with respect to plan i'm.
fermentation, no other (pIan.
ming agency has powers COM
parable 10 M.NCPPC or has
the advantage of being the adj
ministrative agency for sub
division applications and for
the region park system"
These very powers, the IPA
said, give the M-NCPPC "capa-
city to consider regional needs
and influence policy"
The commission. IPA said,

Board Clerk Rose Dawson

more attention to a letter stat

the ballot.
Alfred w. Reiter, 1900 Little

the ballot question asking the
