There's cause to wonder now
what's happened to all those
aggressive go-getters there are
in Montgomery County. 1t would
seem that with thousands of
dollars in cash and prizes being
offered, that literally scores of
folks would jump at the OPP
portunity to make good for
themselves in just a few weeks
time.
But, unfortunately for them
and for the Montgomery County
Sentinel, this hasn't been the
case. While there have been
some who have entered the race,
and some show good potential
Of becoming major prize win
ners, there are many who are
capable who have held back
for some small reason or other.
There's too much at stake to
miss.
Never before in this county
has there been a contest for
local people of such magnitude,
where the prizes are so valuable
and highly desirable, and the

Industry
RezOning
Approved

The Montgomery County
Council gave tentative APP
proval Monday night to
industrial rezoning of an
extensive tract covering
some PSI acres to the south
east of the intersection of
Rockville Pike and Shady
Grove Road.
The council authorized its at
torneys to prepare a resolution
authorizing a change in the
status of the land, currently
zoned as rural residential, after
a scheduled public hearing fail
ed to produce any opposition.
Evidence introduced during the
brief discussion included recon.
mendations from the County
Planning Board for the recon
ing.
Involved in the tentative deci-
sion, which will be submitted
for formal confirmation at the
councils regular meeting next
Tuesday, are portions of two
tracts known as Valentines
Garden" and 1.-Two Brothers.
The property Is owned by Eu.
gene B. Casey, area developer,
who was represented at the
hearing by Roger H. Spencer,
Rockville real estate man.
At the same hearing, the
council approved rezoning from
RICO (single-family residential)
to CT general commercially of
five lots and part of a sixth in.
volving some $4,000 square feet
at Knowles Avenue and Armory
Avenue in Kensington. The
tract is owned by Fenton Joint
Venture, represented by Attor-
ney r. Robert Linowes, and as
was the case in the Casey appli-
cation, no one appeared to op.
pose the change.
At its regular meeting on
Tuesday the council approved
four more zone changes to pro-
vide for industrial or CONNER,
cial use of property, three OF
them involving tracts formerly
zoned for residential use.

Assistant Attorney Gsnrw
Matthias j. De Vito t. n
Sentinel he did not KIP 1l1II-
err funds that shokId - ear
marked for school uze s{e being
withheld BY the coan2|I
But Il The cd146'I has done
this, Ne emphasized. It Is going
against state law which requires
that funds raised by the school
tax should be spent for school
purpose.
Frank Vrataric, chairman OF
the Montgomery County Coun-
Gil of Parent Teacher Associa-
tons, renewed charges Tuesday
that the county council has ac-
cumulated $2.4 million in school
surplus tax funds.
He also expressed the belief
that by the end of this fiscal
year the sum could rise to 81
million.
Whether the sums would have
to be turned over to school
heads by the county council
will have TO be determined by
the courts.
The question will be consid-
cred Aug. % in Baltimore at a
meeting of the State Board of
Education.
Charges of illegal accumula-
ton Of school surplus funds
have been formally filed with
the state school board by
MCCPTA.
II MCCPTA can prove its
charges, Di Vito said, a hearing
will probably be called to hear
testimony from both sides. Sub
sequently, he said, the state
school board could II it wished
file suit against the County
Council or order the county
school board to file such a suit.
County President Floyd has
taken the position that refusal
OF the council to turn over all
funds collected by the county
school levy to the school sys-
tenn Is a proper one.
He has also brushed aside
MCCPTA charges that this
years budget slashes by the
council violated state law which
requires all counties to main
tain a so to 1 teacher supervisor
ratio.
DE Vito said the second point
raised by the MCCPTA, If sub
stantiated, &C I'd also be grounds
for a suit against the County
Council.
Another controversial issue,
the processing Of local teachers
flngerprints by county police
will also be discussed on Aug
%, according TO the Attorney
Generals office.
School Board members had
requested that the State Board
Of Education re-word its July 2
order prohibiting them from
sending teacher prints or other
information to any local or
state law enforcement agency,
or any other state or local
agency for processing, copying
or any other purposes"
I'VE are not considering re.
versing our decision" De Vito
told the Sentinel. "The basic
problem still exists, the county
school boards request for a
change in wording has had no
force up to now" he added.
"rhe school board is really
twisting the meaning Of this

Four-Year
Highway
Plan Told

A program to meet
Critical" needs of Montgom-
cry County's highway sys-
tenn through new construc-
ton or Improvement prof.
ects involving more than
14O miles of roads was pro-
posed this week by the
State Roads Commission.
Outlined by representatives of
the commission before members
of the County Council and the
county's legislative delegation at
the councils weekly meeting,
the program would involve ex-
penditures of about go million
dollars to be paid by the federal
government and the state. The
federal share of the cost is 70
per cent.
At this point the program is
tentative to the extent that the
commission will review any cri-
ticisms from county officials,
according to the agency's chair
man-director, John B. Funk, who
urged members of the council
and the legislative group to no.
tify the commission of their
reaction no later than Sept. II.
The official said the program
is being prepared for submis.
sion to the General Assembly
early next year for its approval
as a four-year statewide project
to be launched In 1865 as a fol.
Iow-up to the present five-year
construction plan which will be
completed at that time.
1t will be part of a statewide
program costing some $4 billion,
Funk revealed. An official of the
commission said later the funds
assigned to Montgomery County
would be the second highest in
the state, exceeded only by the
sum of about $40 million to be
expanded in Baltimore County.
At the same time, county au-
thorities were told the state
will have to find new sources
of income to finance road prof.
ects other than those supported
largely by the federal govern
ment by 1865.
Altogether, the program rec
commended for the county in
cludes some 49 separate projects
ranging from two.tenths of a
mile to 10 miles, according to
the outline submitted by the
commission. They were listed
as follows:
Reconstruction and rehabilita-
ton of Rte. 1877 as a six-lane
dual highway from Rte. 1873 to
Rte. 355 (5.26 miles,; Rte. 410
from Rte. 20 to Prince Georges
County line (1.65); Rte. 800
from the D. c. line to Prince
Georges County line 90; Rte.
100 from Capital Beltway to
Rte. 189 (3.2), and Rte. 1909 from
Poolesville to Rte. 355 (11.6).

highway from Rte. $50 to Rte.
