sharp objections TO an urban
renewal plan for the North
Capitol-East area were filed
today by a leading Washing
ton department store.
Testifying at a hearing be-
fore the District Commission
ers was D. Randall Bucking-
ham, vice president, secretary
and treasurer Of Woodward &
Lothrop, who condemned
broadly the plans provisions
and methods Of enforcement.
Pointing out the firm has
four properties in the area for
warehouse and parking use,
Mr.. Buckingham said $500, 900
had been spent In the last 10
years on three Of the proper
ties. The three are used as
warehouses and are assessed at
Is2.4 million.
Although Woodward a. Lo-
throp would prefer TO operate
its warehousing from its prop
critics there, the constant addi-
ton Of expensive conditions
may reach q point where 1t
would be financially desirable
to locate the warehouse out
side the District Of Columbia,
he said.
Coal Dealers Want Center
Washington coal dealers to-
day urged the District Commits
sioners TO prevent the takeover
through urban renewal Of the
city's main coal distribution
center.
They were Unexpectedly sup
ported at the public hearing by
the top official Of the renewal
agency, Phil A. Doyle.
I'VE do not know OF a better
place In the city for such busi-
ness than In this industrial
project" the Redevelopment
Land Agency executive director
told the Commissioners.
Mr.. Doyle's testimony dis
closed a difference OF opinion
between his agency and the Ma

Arlington Tax
Rise Unlikely
Unexpected Funds
Discovered, Budget
Nearly BuIunced

Discovery of $418,OOO in un-
expected income virtually as
sures Arlington residents that
their property tax rates will not
be raised this year.
AS submitted, the combined
school and county budgets to-
falling $3.50 million were $454,-
900 out Of balance, primarily
because Of the cost of a radi-
cally new plan for paying
teachers.
But at the annual budget
hearing last night Supt. Ray
Reid informed the county board
that the school system will re-
ceive $4,000 more from Fed
eral, State and local sources
than was estimated when his
budget was drafted earlier in
the spring.
Fiscal officers also reported
that the latest tax collection
data indicates that the county
government will have S128.0O0
more than it anticipated.
Thus. the overall budget is
almost in balance, and Board
Chairman Thomas Richards as
well as vice chairman Ernest
Wilt estimated that the county
can increase its expenditures
6 to 7 per cent next year with
out imposing higher taxes.
May Raise Water Rates
However, despite emphatic
objections Of the Public Util-
tiles Commission, the board
appears determined to raise the
price Of water to finance con-
struction of a IS million sew
age treatment plant and to
compensate for higher charges
by the Corps of Engineers,
which supplies the county with
water.
County Manager Bert w.
johnson originally proposed
that the water rates be raised
from 43 to 70 cents per 1000
gallons, but lowered the rec
commended increase to SO cents.
Because the raise would be-
come effective this summer and
the county would not begin
paying for the new plant until
next year. a temporary surplus
Of 100000 would result, and
be suggested that this sum be
allocated to improve streets
and help build a mental hy-
giene clinic.
The PUG vigorously objected
to such q transfer, and last
night spokesmen for various
civic organizations also pro-
tested.
II the board yields to these
protests, it would have to cut
the recommended school or
county budget by 100000.
In contrast to past budget
hearings, which often assumed
the atmosphere Of a family
fighting over money, the one
last night was generally am
liable.
Teacher Pay Boost Criticized
While commencing the major
parts of both budgets, the
Chamber of Commerce con-
tended that the salary scales
which eventually will enable
the majority Of Arlington
teachers to earn as much as
$4,000 annually and some ex-
Ceptional instructors to make
as much as $14,400, are un-
realistically high. The Apart
ment Owners Association
agreed.
Richard Neal Of the Arling-
ton Education Association de-
clared that the public should
realize that the maximum a
teacher with q masters
degree viii receive next school
year will be $500. rather than
$4,000. the top step when the
pay plan Is fully operative.

KettIers Show Montgomery Square

Kettler Brothers, Inc,
builder of a Fall Festival
Preview Of "a Homes exhibit
at Montgomery Square, denies
the buying public only one
thing.
The firm insists on what it
calls controlled variation.
This means variation In
structure, exterior d esign,
house placement and color
styling which it feels must be
controlled by the builder. Un-
less the community is
planned, domestic by home
site, for careful variation, the
firm feels, nothing "can save
it from becoming common
place"
Adherence to the rules Of
planned variation protects the
investment Of each home
owner" a spokesman for Ket-
tier said. "There have been
occasions when we have
been forced to refuse a sale
which involved the possibility
of creating a usually monot-
onous neighborhood."
At Montgomery Square, this
controlled variation will be
applied to a community that
will eventually total 325 homes
on a site Of 100 acres. About
40 Of the houses have been
completed since the develop
ment was first opened in
March.
Three model homes are on
display at Montgomery
Square, all Of which have
been decorated by Stephen D.
Jeffrey.
Patterson & Worland are
the architects Of the houses,
which are available In quite
an extensive variety Of floor
plans and other interior ar
rangementS.
Prices Of the homes range
from $28,95O to $31,75O and
sales are handled by the
building firm itself.
In Montgomery Square, the
firm is particularly proud Of
its work with color.
Authentic colors to fit the
requirements Of true tradi-
tional styling were what We
were striving for" a member
of the firm said.
1.-THE natural warm tones
used in Montgomery Square
were inspired by the colOrs
used in 18th century Ameri-
can Colonial homes" he
added.
Directions to reach the
Montgomery Square commu-
nifty, as furnished by the
builder, are:
''From Bethesda, north on
Wisconsin avenue, then left
on new 70-S expressway for
about four minutes. Exit on
Montrose road (second inter-
change, follow MontroSe road
west a few hundred yards to
Seven Locks road. Turn left

cry Square entrance on Seven

Thomas jefferson And Uriob p Levy
AT HOME IN MONTICELLO
By LYNNE IANNTELIO

When I was a child, did not
realize that Monticello, home of
Thomas Jefferson, was of hiStor-
ical interest. To me. it was a de-
lightful home where 1 would spend
many happy weeks with my par
entS and sisters :"
The writer of those words is
Mrs. Frances Wolff Levy Lewis, a
great niece of Commodore Uriah
P. Levy. The Monticello of her
childhood was indeed a home-the
Levy family home in Charlottes-
vile, Virginia.
Today a national shrine, the 100
acre Monticello plantation was
purchased by the Thomas Jeffer-
son Memorial Foundation in 1928
from the Levy family, which had
owned it for over Is years.
Uriah Levy, whose great-great-
grandfather was in the first boat
load of coloniSts to settle in Geor-
gia in 1873, rose from cabin boy
during the War of 1912 to the Unit
ed States Navy'S highest rank,
SAASAeAA1lS A1Ill W OC Cdl1GHu OOIIlIIlO-
dore. A fiery patriot and a vigor-
Gus defender of the rights of man,
he is famous for having played
leading role in the abolition of the
barbarous practice of corporal
punishment in the Navy. His keen
sense of social justice made him
an admirer of Thomas Jefferson
and led to his purchase of the
Presidents home in 1886.
After Jefferson died in 1926,
Thomas Jefferson's daughter, Mrs.
Thomas Mann Randolph, inherited
Monticello but was forced to sell
it. 1t was purchased for use as a
silkworm farm and much of it's
original 1000 acres and household
furnishings was sold. When Com
modore Levy bought the estate,
only 218 acres of land remained.
He worked tirelessly to buy back
most of the land and to locate and
purchase the Jefferson furniture
and paintings. When he died in
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1963-09-06

1852, Levy willed Monticello to the
United States Government for use
as an agricultural school for or
phaned children of naval officers.
But the Civil War made it inn
possible for the provisions of the
will to be carried out. Monticello
was in Confederate hands until the
end OF the war, and Levy's will
was eventually invalidated on tech
nical grounds. Monticello was re-
tanned by the Levy family-the
restoration initiated by the Com
modore was completed by his
nephew, Congressman Jefferson
Monroe Levy.
Mrs. Lewis, in her childhood
visits to Monticello, stayed with
her parents and three sisters in
the right wing; an aunt and her
family occupied another wing, and
her uncle, Jefferson Levy. used
the downstairs bedroom which had
been Thomas Jefferson'S. She re-
calls playing on rainy days with
wonderful things" stored in a
large room at the top of the house,
and sitting in the two-wheeled gig
that Jefferson rode in when he
went to sign the Declaration of
independence.
Today, although thousands of
people visit Monticello and pass
the grave, on slope just off the
south lawn, of Rachel Phillips
Levy, the COMMODORE mother,
few are aware of the role played
by Uriah Levy in preserving the
estate as a memorial to Thomas
Jefferson.
In his long career, Uriah Phil
lips Levy had seen religious per-
secution many times. His dedica-
ton to Thomas Jefferson and his
principles = separation of church
and state; freedom of thought and
Speech-moved the Commodore to
restore and preserve Monticello.
1t was a labor of love as well as
of patriotism.

"FideEo," Only Beethoven Opera,

JERUSALEM Israeli Sector)-
Beethoven's only opera, "Fidelio, !"
was performed for the first time
in Israel and for the first time in

The opera, presented in a con-
cert version at Jerusalem's NUM-

ovation from capacity audience
that included members of the
Knesset (ParliamenD and the Gov
ernment.
The tenor Jan Peerce of the Met
ropolitan Opera and the soprano

Opera sang the lead roles of Flor
eStan and Leonora.
William Steinberg of the Pitts
burgh Symphony Orchestra led the
Israeli Philharmonic, of which he
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1963-09-06

was founder. The Tel Aviv Choir
sang the chorus.
Some in the audience felt that
the opera, with its stirring central
theme of the triumph of love and
liberty over hate and tyranny,
gained in depth by being sung in
Hebrew. Others commented that
the opera lost nothing in the trans
lation from German.
For the concert performance, the
dialogue of the opera was con-
densed and presented in narration
between the various musical pieces
in the two acts.
Listeners agreed that the pre-
sentation would have been better
had the narration been left out
since the primary interest was in
the music.
