Crimes Increase
By ia Per Cent
In Montgomery

Montgomery County had an
increase of TIA per cent in
crime cases in the first seven
months of this year compared
to 1862, Police Supt. James 8.
McAuliffe said today.
The police superintendent
monthly study of crime Stats
tics showed that serious crimes
increased So per cent In July
over the same month in 1862.
The overall increase in Sc
rious crime for the seven
month period ended July 81,
however, was 1863 per cent.
Police officials said the
surge in serious offenses is
about in line with national
figures, and the July leap of
IS per cent is no cause for
alarm unless it continues.
Col. McAuliffe said I'VE are
doing everything we can" to
reduce crime, but the grow
ing population in Montgomery
County would account for in
creased crime.
The superintendent report
listed 3,977 serious offenseS in

period last year. The number
Of arrests this year in the

Hearing OKd
In Suit on GU
Offices Plan

A court order today cleared
the way for a public hearing
to determine whether George
town University may use
nearby residential property 1t
owns for college offices.
United States District Court
Judge Leonard P. Walsh
signed the order in a suit filed
by the Progressive Citizens
Association Of Georgetown, the
Georgetown Citizens Associa-
ton and four individuals,
against the District and uni
versity officials.
The suit asked the court to
stop issuance Of occupancy
permits by the District for
properties at 1912 o street
NV. and 1922 Thirty-sixth
street NV.
The properties; according to
the suit, are among 80 houses
owned by the university in an
area bounded by Thirty fifth,
Thirty-seventh, Prospect and P
streets NV.
Their conversion. the suit
said. would adversely affect
property values" in the neigh
borhood.
The case involves q ruling by
the District Board of Zoning
Adjustment, based on a 1853
District zoning Commission
decision, that a university In
existence before October /, 1898
could extend its operations into
residential areas owned by the
school without special permits
sion.

PRESSURE DENIED
Lukens to Quit Staff
If Politics Conflicts
BY GRACE BASSETT
Star staff Writer

Donald E. (Buzz) Lukens
will leave his House Rules
Committee staff post as soon
as Republican campaign duties
conflict.
Reports that Mr.. Lukens,
National Young Republicans
president, is being presSured
out Of his job as committee
minority clerk by politicians in
Ohio and the District were
denied today, however. by
Representative Brown, ranking
Republican on the committee
from Ohio.
Mr.. Brown acknowledged
some Anonymous" telephone
calls from political enemies of
Mr.. Lukens in the District. He
said he had been exposed to
no pressure from Ohio.
Mr.. Lukens Is considered a
Barry Goldwater partisan, al
though he insists that neither
he nor his national organiza-
ton Is committed to any can
didate for the presidency.
The Young Republican
president and his patron, Rep
resentative Brown, recently
discussed possible conflicts be-
tween travel demands of the
YRS and desk chores Of the
Rules Committee.
Agreement Reached
I'VE agreed that when he
cannot devote full time to the
committee job, he will offer to
step out" Mr.. Brown said.
Young Lukens is not the
kind of man who would take
advantage of a position he
could not fill properly" the
Congressman continued. ALSO
I'm not the sort who would
carry someone who could moi
do a job"
Some sources close to Re.
publican politics in Ohio said
leaders were worried that Mr.
Lukens, a party patronage jot
holder, would give the impress,
sion that segmentS Of the Statt
party were committed to Gold
water.
A hint Of q commitment Il
q presidential candidate thii
early could jeopardize Congress
sional campaigns, these source
said. 3D.
Mr.. Brown said Ray Bliss
major Ohio G. o. P. Strategist
took the same position as die
the CongreSSman-that neithel
was for or against Mr.. Lukeni
as a Young Republican leader
or as a Goldwater champion.
The Ohio delegation refused
to support Mr.. LukenS for the
presidency at the Young Re-
publican convention in June
This blackball from his native
States Young Republicans was
perhaps the highest hurdle MIR
Lukens leaped in a wild, Gold
water-dominated race to cleo
ton.
Dropped by ShipIey
In the District, Mr.. Lukens
was dismissed from a precinct
craftsmanship by senior Re-
publican chairman Carl Shipley
last month despite Mr.. Lukens
insistence on this job. Mr.
Shipley, under some pressure
himself by Republicans who re-
gard. him as too liberal" re-
portedly wanted to allay in
party fears that Mr.. Lukens
would organize his former
southwest precinct for Gold
water.
Some people in the District
called me and asked me If ]
didn't think that Mr.. Lukens
should leave the. Rules Com
rnittee." Mr.. Brown said. This

In May, 1861. She said her
husband refused her a divorce
or separation.
Mrs. Koch said she and the
defendant fell in love and were
seeing each other three or four
times q week. Her husband
found out about her affair on
March 10 this year, she said.
The next day, she testified, she

She heard her husband tell
Barger: IF ever catch you

A week before the shooting
her husband left home, she said.
on the night OF the shooting,
Mrs. Koch told the jury, Barger
came to her house at $500

ing along a .25-caliber semi
automatic pistol. He placed 1t
on the headboard Of the bed,
she said.
Mrs. Koch told the jury that

house she and Barger were
reading in bed.

this tremendous banging on the
front door," Mrs. Koch said.
II said this is 1t - there's

Jointly responsible" for the
holdup-slaying of Newell w.
Ellison, jr.
The five, including two juven-
lies aged is and 16, appeared
ct an inquest in the District
Morgue today in connection
with the fatal shooting of the
27-year-old college teacher on
the morning of August IS.
The three adults, all of whom
are charged with first degree
murder, appeared handcuffed
together and sat apart from
the juveniles. The six-man
jury ordered the adults bound
over for action of the grand
jury and held the teen-agers for

Detective Testifies
The principal witness against
the five, whom police accuse
of shooting Mr.. Ellison down

as a robbery victim, was Homi-
eide Squad Detective Jack
Buch. He testified that the two
juveniles, as well as 19-year-

hitting the crime.
- The fifth prisoner, William

The
Rambler
Shocked
On Connecticut
By JOHN McKELWAY

Over the last two years,
some interesting things have
been going on in an area
just north of Jones Bridge
road on Connecticut avenue
in Montgomery County.
Some new homes were
built to the east on 1nver-
ness street, low-slung ram
blers which probably sold
for something between $780,
600 and $4,000. And finish
ing. touches were put on a
section of the Capital belt
way which winds attractive
ly away to the west, toward
the Rockville pike.
Connecticut was widened
and a new bridge went up
over Rock Creek. It made
committing a pleasure for
a while until a large number
of people heard about it. To
anyone trying to get to work
around 8 am, it appeared
that most of the residents Of
Montgomery County had
chosen the same route.
Traffic now moves about
the same way it used to in
rush hours, although the
Maryland highway people
have taken care to provide
separate lanes for all those
unpleasant people who want
to make left turns.
About $50 am. yesterday,
however, commuters and
shoppers and some OF the
resident Of the area, gener-
ally known as North Chevy
Chase, were perhaps shocked
to see a four-bedroom house
moving up the avenue in
traffic.
It was one of the relatively
new ramblers, red brick and
probably comfortable, which
once had sat Snugly up on
Inverness street. It was
headed south, having left its
cellar behind.
The Rambler decided to
stop and watch the opera
ton.

$50 Oppose
High Rise al
-Four COrners
Appear at Hearing
BY County Council
On Rezonine PIeu

Homeowners in the Four
Corners area Of Silver Spring
staged a determined effort last
night to keep high-riSe apart
ments out of their neighbor-
hood.
More than $50 residents, the
largest number to attend a
coming hearing before the in
cumbent Montgomery County
Council, urged denial Of a re-
coming petition for a 43-acre
tract on the old Indian Spring
Country Club grounds.
The County Planning Board
and the staff Of the Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission recently
approved the application, filed
by Jack Kay, owner Of the land.
The tract, bounded by Uni
verSity boulevard, Colesville
road and the new Capital belt
way, is presently zoned for
single-family, detached housing.
Nine Groups Opposed
Nine citizens groups in the
Silver Spring area banded to-
gether to lead opposition to
the rezoning proposal.
George Spiegel, representing
the residents, charged that con-
struction Of the Seven-bullding
project would result in an
annual deficit to the county of
100000 to 100000 for in
creased governmental services.
He said the apartments would
cause a need for more schools
in Four Corners, congest traffic
and decrease the value of homes
in the area.
Exhibiting petitions signed
by almost 5000 citizens, he de-
clared that the residential
quality" of the area would be
ruined" by the high-rise
development.
Mr.. Spiegel also accused the
staff of the Park and Planning
Commission of making no real
study on the impact (of the
apartmentS) on the surround
ing area" He said much Of the
Four Corners region will be-
come commercial to provide
services for the project If it is
permitted.
Cites Existing Units

: shown no need for such hous.
: ing" on the Indian Spring

HISTORY luxury towers woulc
, become a focal point for the
) entire area" and accused the
residents of making IAN emo
tional appeal unfounded by
. the facts" to kill the applica-
) ton.
, Rather than result in q
: deficit to the county, Mr.
Lackey said, the development
would bring Montgomery addi-
tional yearly revenues OF
$3.50, 900. Only about SO Gore
Sabotage children would live
: in the project, he argued, than
. If the land were developed IN
: single-family residences.
) The Silver Spring attorney
also argued that:
More open space would be
preserved under high-riSe de-
velopment than in single
family construction because OF
coming restrictions.
"A maximum traffic increase
of 10 to IS per cent" would
result from construction Of the
apartments.
The hearing room. was filled
to capacity and more than ESQ
people were standing in corri-
doris and outside exits.
County Council President
John Floyd announced that
written testimony in the case
would be accepted for another
10 days.
