Statistics on increases in stu

Whittier pointed out that re-

In the eighth grade, Whittier
said county pupils achievement

he stated, were in arithmetic

Inspection of statements on

of fragrant discrepancies. For
example, one candidate listed
personal ca m paign expenses

A treasurer's report made on

showed his candidate had bene-
fitted by $1,000 from a contribu-
ton made in the amount by the
candidate who claimed his total
costs in the election were under
$1,000. Thus, the candidates

Rockville
Renewal
Plan Lays
Officials Still Certain
They Can Meet Deadline
By ELY Bradley

Although Rockville's ur-
ban renewal program is rum
ming more than a month be-
hind schedule, planning Of
ficials are confident they
can make up the lag this
summer and keep their date
for unwilling the city's pro-
posed new look" in No
vember.
Under the city's downtown
facelifting schedule issued ear
ly this year, the month of
March was to have seen the
beginning of study of land
use and business patterns
which, in fact, did not get UNI
der way until about May 1.
Last month was to have
marked the beginning of both
physical and relocation plan
ming for the project. This has
just been started.
Final plans in these two key
phases hinge on completion of
the 90-day land use and market
ability study, now set for mid
August though originally sched-
uled for July. Submission of a
preliminary urban renewal plan
looms, according to schedule, in
September.
City planning officials con-
coded the program has fallen
behind because OF a six-week
delay In getting federal APP
provaI OF the marhetabiIity

Council members questioned the
planning board closely on a
number of aspects of the newly
released master plan for North
Bethesda Garrett Park and vicin.
ity.
Major items for discussion
were removal of a proposed cul-
tural and civic center, which APP
peared in the preliminary mas
ter plan.
Board member Donald +.
Gingery said he felt CLOSER
in" location for the center was
more desirable, and said he
had recommended IL be built
in the Mead0wbrook area off
East-West hwy, closer to Sill
yer Spring and Chevy Chase
"where it would be able to at
tract a greater number of peO-
pie from both the District and
the county,"
Council president David L. Ca
hoon and others questioned why
the commission had decided to
set land aside along the Rock
vile pike for neighborhood shop
ping center use and asked
whether it wouldn't depress
Rockville's economy.
The board and council will
meet again June 26 to discuss
other aspects of coming.
In another development, the
watchdog" Montgomery Coun-
ty Citizens Planning Association
questioned legality Of the final
master plan because it differs in
so many respects from the pre-
liminary plan on which, under
law, a public hearing was held.
The Planning Board, however,
is not required to hold a hear
ing on the adopted plan, even
though it differs from the pre-
liminary.

ton and initiative in planning
for the county's development"
said Council member Stella
Werner. "After that, we can CO.
operate with other agencies -
not vice-versa."
Said Council president David
L. Cahoon: Il seriously question
whether we shouldn't try to
guide our future development
in a manner not so closely orr
ented to the economics of the
District of Columbia as we have
in the past. We've got to go for
ward with the problems of Mont
gomery County"
Planning Board member
Louis A. Gravelle echoed this
sentiment with an announce
ment he will ask the Mary
land National Capital Park
and Planning Commission to
lay both the long-stymied Wis
cOnsi n ave. traffic corridor
and another major artery
through Silver Spring into the
cOunty's new general master
plan.
Formal plans for both these
badly-needed commuter routes
to the District Line have been
held up while county officials
awaited decisions by the Dis
trict to lift its freeze on con-
struction of major northwest
highways and by the National
Capital Transportation Agency
on regional mass transit needs
of the future.
Gravelle said he will also sug-
gest that the planners recon-
mend a moratorium on all down
county coming until the first of
next year, pending final land
use agreement.

tax rate in Gaithersburg re-

increase was voted.
While budget proposals for
1928 did not deal with speci-

with lump sum ALLEGATIONS, Du-

would come up with a detailed

John Thomas, local business

storm drainage. Duvall declined
detail until the Council consid-
ers the budget. He said, howev-

other possible omissions will be

mine whether or not there are
violations of the Maryland Cor

States Attorney Leonard T..

it is determined should be

Last week, the Sentinel re-
ported election costs of over
$325,000 and showed that, as of
Wednesday noon = 36 hours
after deadline for filing - 38
candidates who ran for public
office still had not filed spend
ing statements, and pointed out
that many of those on file were
dated after the deadline.
Since that time, 16 additional
have been filed, including those
of COP candidates for House of
Delegates Elaine Lady and
Charles Bressler; County Coun-
Gil member Stanley Frosh and
candidate for Judge of the Cir
cult Court, John Reyes.
Expenditures for the 16, from
three to eight days behind dead
line, totaled $S,247. Reyes was
high spender of the group with
q total of $4,226.
There remain to be filed at
least 20 statements of others
who ran for office, some sue
