He said primary interest will
be given facilities available for
protection against radiation for
communities that might be sub
ject to extensive attack. The
county has been chosen. he add
ed, because of its location in a
key metropolitan sector and
the fact that it is composed of
urban, suburban and rural
zones, all within the potential
attack area.
Among detectives of the re-
search study, Pittman declared,
is development of a program
that will stimulate the interest
of individuals who would pre-
fer their own defense shelters
to those designed to handle
large crowds.
At the same time. he said, it
its hoped that it will influence
architects and builders toward
the development of facilities
that will provide maximum
safety features, and promote
greater cooperation between
the builders and local govern

One OF the documents to be

opinion, Trimm said, is a pri-

Indritz's analysis, drawn up
last month but made public only
this week, holds that there could
be Inconsistency" between the
two laws on only two minor
points.
Should such conflict arise, his
analysis says. the state law

IndritZ was one of the AZ

A proposed Humane Soci-
ETY. contract for administra-
ton of the Montgomery
County animal shelter pro-
gram contains an assert
ment of legal snags, the
County Council was told
yesterday.
In a summary of answers to
questions previously raised by
County Manager Mason Butch.
er, County Attorney Robert G.
Tobin Jr. cited a number of
conditions that he said would
have to be altered to clarity the
legal status of both the county
and the Humane Society in
such an arrangement.
AS consequence, the cOun-
Gil requested Tobin to consult
with Humane Society authOri-
ties to obtain their views on the
necessary changes.
Among major items in ques.
ton was the sum of about $780,
600 a year currently obtained
by the county for dog licenses.
Tobin said the contract implied
that the Humane Society ex.
pected to retain the funds,
which actually would cost the.
county more money than the
plan originally proposed by the
society at an estimated savings
of $4,000 year to the govern
ment.
The overall society plan also
failed to take into consideration
its responsibility for workmen's
compensation, state and federal
social security tax payment to
match those made by employees
and unemployment insurance,
Tobin noted.
To assure its protection
against legal action that might
be brought in suits resulting
from the society's enforcement
of the dog license law, Tobin
said, the county should lease
the animal shelter property to
the organization, eff necessary,
for a mere one dollar a year."
And, he added, the county
would continue to share legal
responsibility if it acceded to a
Humane Society contract provi-
sion that it be permitted to use
the county's trucks in rounding
up stray animals. THE trucks
should be sold outright to the
society or put to another gov.
ernmental use" he declared.
In response to a question
raised by Butcher about the au.
thOrity Of employees Of pri-
vate organization to enforce a
public dog law, Tobin said the
sOciety's dOg.catchers could be
deputized il necessary.

Rights Unit

Rockville's Public Accommo-
dation law will not be aban-
doned in the event the County
Council decides to repeal the
present county ordinance after
an April "a hearing at Richard
Montgomery High School.
The city and county ordi-
nances, virtually identical, both
rely on the county-designated
Commission on Human Rela.
tons as their enforcement
agency. Repeal by the county
would leave Rockville without
enforcement provisions.
In unanimous decision Mon.
day night, however, the Mayor
and Council agreed that rather
than turn back the clock" on
social progress. 1t would set up
its own Human Relations Com.
mission with powers similar tn
those existing in the present
Commission set up under the
county ordinance.
Mayor Frank Ecker said the
municipality will present a
strong protest against repeal Of
the county ordinance at the
hearing.
In the meantime, city council.
man Achiless NJ. Tuchtan said
Rockville should not condone
discrimination by discarding its
public accommodation laws
and that ''Rockville's progress
in this respect must continue,

Rockville
Is Doomed

Rockville's old brick pump
house on Horners' Lane, In use
since 1890, is scheduled to be
demolished.
The building was abandoned
several weeks ago when the
maintenance division of the
Public works Department
moved its operations from
Horner's Lane to the new Pub
lie Works building on the Civic
Center grounds.
The million gallon water stOr-
age tank on the rear "d0g Leg
section OF the property will re-
main. Pumps and an altitude
valve now housed i'm the old
pump house will be moved to
the storage tank area.
Demolition of the pump
house leaves the city with three
lots and, at this time, city Off
Gals are trying to decide what
to do with the property.
More than 30 residents of the
Croydon Park area petitioned
the Mayor and Council Monday
night to turn the area into a
playground for the children.
While city officials like the idea
of developing a play area in
the Croydon Park vicinity and
feel it would serve to upgrade
the area, recreation experts say
the parcel is too small to de-
velop more than a basketball
area and tot lot.
On top Of this, they point out
that the land contains several
"built-in hazards to children,
including an open drainage
channel and a primary street
which Is to be built along Its
frontage"
1t has been estimated that
more than $4,000 would be re-
quired to develop a play area,
including the $500 cost of de-
molition of the pump house and
relocation Of the pumps and
altitude valve.
The Mayor and Council will
make a walking tour" Of the
land Sunday before coming up
with a decision.

The council voted unanimous
ly to accept an offer of the
Federal Office of Civil De-
fenes to inaugurate the study
program in the county, after
details of the research project
were outlined by Steuart L.
Pittman, assistant secretary of
defense for Civil Defense.
Included in the study will be
an analysis of existing fallout
shelters and their protective
capacity, the potential location
of additional shelters and devel-
opment of safety programs for
both immediate emergency use
and long-range preparation of a
more solid nature, Pittman
said.

Q Cuts Protested

County school boys and girls
and their parents" The group
charged angrily that students
already in overcrowded classes
in basic subjects will be forced
to share their limited oppor-
tunitieS with 5000 new students
this fall for whom the council
majority has provided almost
no additional teachers"
"Under the guise of econ.
Omy',' the group said, "the
council majority will waste the
chance in a lifetime for these
thousands of students to realize
their greatest potential under
adequate instruction, waste
even more tragic at this critical
time in our nations history"
Willard Cass, president of the
Montgomery County Council of
Parent Teacher Associations,
said his group sis shocked by
the callous disregard for the
children of our county by the
majority on the County Coun-
Gil" BY cutting the 200 teach
ers, Cass said, "the council is
cutting at the heart of our edu-
cational system.
There are" Cass said, cal
ready 451 secondary school
classes in the four basic sub
jects that exceed the recon-
mended size by more than 10
students per class" And he
added: Coming on top of the
many cuts in an already modest
school budget, the latest action
will do irreparable harm to the
educational program in our
county"

Cabin John
Rezonings
Are Denied

The County Council de-
cided 4-3 Tuesday to turn
down three re-zoning appli-
cations which would have
changed III acres in the
Cabin John watershed from
rural r e 81 d e n tia to the
newer R-150 coming.
R-150 zoning calls for re-
stricted residential, one-family
detached house density-con-
trolled development.
The three applications had
been filed by Attorney R. Rob-
ert Linowes for the 50-acre Jo-
seph M. Harris tract at Tucker
man Lane and Bell Mill Road;
Al acres of the Victor r. Beau
champ tract, also at Bells Mill
Road and Tuckerman Lane, and
a 26-acre tract at Bells Mill
Road and Windsor Drive.
Four Republicans turn e d
down the application On con-
siderations that insufficient
reason was given to change the
master plan for the Cabin John
watershed, which calls for R-R
Zoning in the area. They said
they felt there was no need to
reZone merely to give the ap-
plicants the right to develop
their properties in way which
would give them higher finan.
cial benefit"
Support for the applications
came from Democrats Grover
X. Walker and Jerry Williams
and Republican Kathryn E.
Diggs.
Miss Diggs' dissent was based
on a feeling that the planning
board and technical staff of the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, both
of which recommended against
the rezoning, had put too much
stress on one of the cases they
cited as a precedent. She also
felt the properties were "well
suited" for the classification
the applicants requested.
Miss Diggs also took issue
with the planning board and
staff contention that there had
been no change in the area
since its original coming to war
rant a change. She held that
creation of the R-150 classified
which was enacted after
the watershed plan had been
adopted itself constituted
change.
Walker agreed with her in
this. This is just the sort of
program we created the R-150
zoning for" he said
He also disagreed with the
contention in the legal opinion
that the profit of developers
was not a major factor in re-
zonings.
after all, any reclassifica-
ton of land is requested pri-
marily to give the applicant an
opportunity to make more
money" he said.

Pay Raise
Plan Onlits
Policemen
By William III. Smith.
Sentinel Reporter

~ - N5hA6 o0OSAt
a per cent are in effect for
some 10000 Montgomery
County employees under a
new scale approved last week
by the County Council for
all county agencies except
the Police Department.
AS the result of a legal
opinion given by County Attor-
ney Robert C. Tobin Jr., the
council reversed an earlier deci-
sion to reject the entire salary
schedule proposed by the Per-
sonnet Board pending settle
ment of controversy over the
police program. AS a result,
the pay boost for all depart
ments except police will become
retroactive to April /.
Following the councils ac-
ton, President James Z. Floyd
conceded that it had acted with.
out legal advice in turning
down the complete program of
the Personnel Board on the
theory that it must include "all
or nothing at all' in it's con-
sideraitons of salary schedules.
When the proposal was re.
jected last Tuesday, the coun.
Gil said its action was based on
a Personnel Board conflict in
which the two Democratic
members called for eight per
cent pay raises affecting eight
members of the police depart.
ment over the objections of Re-
publican Hal Lackey. Increases
of four per cent were proposed
for other police officers.
In its support of Lackey, the
council agreed with his conten-
ton that the salary increases
for the eight officers-captains
and lieutenants in the detective
and juvenile bureaus - should
be kept at the level of those
granted other police officers.
Its position was backed by
County Manager Mason
Butcher.
Earlier reports on the coun.
ellis approval of the pay sched-
ule indicated it affected all
county employees except the
eight officers involved in the
dispute. However, on Tobin's
recommendation the entire
police department was exclud.
ed, involving some 800 mem.
bers.
Meanwhile, Floyd said funds
have been appropriated to pro-
vide pay increases for all mem.
bers of the police department
and that they will become retro
active to April ! whenever the
conflict is settled.
While Lackey firmly opposed
the schedule that would have
given the detective and juvenile
officers four per cent higher
pay than other corresponding
officers in the police depart
ment, it was just as firmly up
held by Democrats Louis A.
Palmer and Grace Angle.
They contended that the
officers involved are required to
work many extra hours with
out pay while other police Off
GERS receive neither overtime
pay or time off whenever they
go beyond their normal SEIZED
ules. One frequent occasions,
Palmer contended, they work
around the clock" due to the
unusual requirements of their
jobs.
In his opinion that the coun-
Gil could approve pay raises for
employees other than those in
the police department, Tobin
held that the Personnel Boards
schedule was broken down into
separate items on which the
council could act independently
rather than accepting the pro-
