Chairman J. Newton Brewer

the special zone will kill any

a similar idea by the incoming

will take office Dec. 4.
The open space zone, proposed
by the M-NCPPC staff at the
request of some members of the
present Council, would have
been an amendment to the pres
ent coming ordinance. 1t would
have set up a special category
of 5-acre tracts free of subdivi
sion development.
These "open space" tracts
designed to prevent urban
sprawl, would form wedges
fitted between a corridor con

Two Major
Are Killed

A controversial coming
change to clear the way for
an $8-million high rise apart
ment development on the Po-
tomac was rejected by the
County Council Tuesda Y
along with residential coming
requests for tracts on the
Norbeck- Rockville Road.
The four applications, pend
ing before the Council for some
time were rejected in split votes.
The high.rise apartment de-
velopment was sought by Milton
Polinger. 1t covered a 12.acre
tract between Macarthur Blvd.
and the George Washington
Memorial Parkway near 18th
Street in the Cabin John area.
Polinger said his project
would contain 459 units In a 10
story structure.
The request nearly came to a
vote in a special meeting last
Friday night, but was put off
until Tuesday when the full
Council could be present.
Polinger's request was reject
ed In a so vote. Voting for the
request were Councilmen Will
liam Hickey and Grover Walker.
Three parcels of land total
ing 1885 acres for which resi-
Dental coming was requested
was rejected In split votes.
The land, belonging TO Earl
Macintosh and William T..
Hannah, is ON the north side
OF the Rockville NOrbeck
Road, west Of Redland Road.
Approval Of the requests
would have opened this area for
concentrated residential develop
ment.

Peace Corps
Head Urges
Tighter Law

Peace Corps Director r.
Sargent Shriver has tossed
his weight behind any effort
the County's Human Rela-
tons Commission might
make to tighten a loophole
in the Public Accommoda-
tons Ordinance.
Schriver, brother in law of
President Kennedy, said he "is
hopeful that the Commission
will see fit to recommend to the
Council at its next session" an
amendment which would bring
taverns under the law.
The Peace Corps director
filed formal complaint with
the Commission in July after
a number of Negro Peace
Corps trainees were refused
service at the Country Corner
Inn In Olney.
Commissioners took the COM
plant under study for some
months and found they had no
jurisdiction because Of an ex-
emption which frees from re-
sponsibility those owners of
public establishments primarily
dealing in alcoholic beverages.
THE incident at the Country
Corner Inn and its proprietors'
apparent intention to take full
advantage Of the present law
suggests to me need for
an ordinance which would have
a broader effect than the pres
ent one" Shriver said in a
letter to the Commission.
He urged the Commission to
call on him "if there is any
measure can take which might
add support to the enactment
of a remedial ordinance"

School Cuts
Indicated
By Whittier

County School Supt. DR.
c. Taylor Whittier limited
this week the budget he will
submit to the School Board
next month may call for less
expenditures than author
lied in the current budget.
He also gave strong in
dication that the 1963-64
spending proposal will not
be increased.
He declined to speculate on
the possibility of a tax reduc-
ton.
Though he would not make
a definite statement as to the
possible reduction, he said the
projected balance between
anticipated student loads and
classroom space appears salts
factory for the next two TO
three years.
This satisfactory balance
could lead to u reduction in this
years S16.5 million capital out
lay budget assigned to new con-
Struction.
Only a slight increase if any
at all can be expected In the
present S50.4 million operating
budget. Most of this amount
goes for salary requirements
and it is unlikely teachers
would be raised in view of the
hike granted in the 1928
budget.
DIR. Whittier's proposed CAPT.
tai budget will be presented to
the School Board at a public
meeting at 8 pm, Dec. ). The
proposed operating budget will
be revealed in a similar meet.
ing at 8 pm, Dec. II.
Concerning the 1963-64 CAPT.
tai improvements budget, DIR.
Whittier pointed out that the
systems decade-Old problem
of double sessions In the eIe-
mentary levels has now been
eliminated and anticipated
growth space provided for
through 1866.
High school classroom de-
mands appear solved through
the 1966-67 school year, he said.
DR.. Whittier said he will "try
to present the best budget
can" regardless of the recent
election. But there are exist
ing board policies 1 am obi
gated to follow. These are sub.
ject to change, of course, but
must follow them until the in.
coming board sees fit to change
them"
IT have no authority at this
time to eliminate the existing
programs the present board has
ordered and supported" he said.

LUXURY for the buckef-se0f brigade

truly spectacular, crisply designed sporting
car. Other makes of sportsters had tough
new contender in their midst.
/ couldn't help but be right about the
Riviera having console; every American
sporting machine has one. But l was wrong
about the four speed manual shift. Buick is
proudly sticking to turbine-drive automatic.
The opuIent interior Of the Riviera has,
like most of the other cars in its class, four
bucket seats. And as if the driver won't be
spoiled enough by all the luxury, he can have
steering wheel which locks into any one Of
seven driving positions.
Though the new Buick is no small ma
chine, 2O8 inches overall on a ll7-inch
wheelbase, it should have sparkling per-
Torrance from its 4Ol .cubic.inch va 325-
horsepower engine. 1t should handle nicely,

quickish power steering -3H turns from

The Thunderbird really started the pres
ent fashion for the four-bucket-seat, low,
sharplooking fun car. Although the first
Third which appeared in 1854 was sporty
looking two-seater still painted after by some
car fanciers, the Thunderbird didn't start to
become smashing success until it grew up
into the voluptuous four-passenger hearts
desire it is today. During its best year -
1857 some 2O,SOO two-seaters were sold.
Immediately after it became a four-seater
sales tripIed. Over $4,000 year are sold
nowadays, far more than any similar machine.
The Third is available in four body
styles, all two-door models: a hardtOp, a
hardtop landau, sports roadster and con-
vertible.
It's a very solid and heavy machine
(about 4,4OO pounds) but either of the two
