ApprOual

1.-THE District Council feels
it must disagree with the Mont
gomery County Planning Board
and Technical Staff (Which had
recommended denial. The ex-
listing Master Plan for Gathers
burg and vicinity is inadequate.
1t does not take into account
the projected population in
crease which expert testimony
showed would come into this
locale, as the subject sites are
gradually surrounded "a proc
ess which is we'll under Way)
by uses ordinarily not found in
the R-R zone.
1.-THE Wedges and Corridors
Plan calls for residential clas-
sification here of from four to
10 dwellings per acre. Muddy
Branch Road, which would serv-
ice this tract, is already bud
geted for Improvement in the
1864 fiscal year budget.
Sewerage is Immediately
available at the Muddy Branch
Pumping Station. Under the adj
ditions proposed to elementary,
junior and senior high schools,
educational facilities will more
than meet the influx of new
pupils.
THE property itself is ideal
for the Redistribution pro-
posed. 1t will permit more in
tense residential development
without an adverse effect to the
surrounding neighborhood in a
location that is easily accessible
to the one corridor roadway
system that is entirely within
and primarily for the benefit of
Montgomery County.
For these reasons and be-
cause to grant these applica-
tons will aid in the accomplish
ment of a coordinated, compre-
hensive, adjusted and system
attic development of the Mary
land-Washington Regional Dis
trict, these applications will be
granted after Withholding from
rezoning the area needed for
future road widening and re-
location"

The Democratic State Central

Chairman Ann Brown is re.

Speaking of being Matched,
there seems to be a growing

An authoritative source saws
the Kennedy administration
has decided to leave the $500
man Sd Armored Cavalry Regi-
ment in Germany.
Plans to return the regiment
were revealed several weeks ago
as part of a plan to cut back
United States troop levels in
Germany to the number on
duty before the 1861 Berlin
crisis.
Some 22,Oc3 of the 10000
extra troops sent to Europe at
that time have been with
drawn.
No reason was given for the
reversal. But the source de-
MED reports that linked the de-
ciSion to a recent visit to WASH
ington by Gerhard Schroeder.
West German Foreign Minister.
However. he said Mr.. Schroe-
der was assured that the West
German government would be
consulted before future de-
cisions are made regarding
United States troops in West
Germany.
The regiment consists of
tanks and infantry units. It
was the only combat outfit
sent to Europe when United
States forces in Germany were
strengthened in the aftermath
Of the 1861 crisis when the
Communists built the wall
which now divides Berlin.
Altogether about 10000 men
were rushed to Germany in the
second half Of 1861, but the
majority were described as sup
port types and not combat
units. The cavalry regiment
was assigned to screening
duties along the Iron Curtain.
A scaling-down process was
decided mid-1962 and the pol
icy decision was to keep the
level of United States troops
in Germany slightly above the
pre-crisis level, informants
said.
