none could be expected this

chairman Of Gen. Parks eco

However, a United States
embassy official said the Ameri-
can grain shipment and Korea S
bumper rice crop had removed
the chance of a food shortage
for at least a year.
Hopes to Export Rice
The military regime hopes to
export surplus rice to pay for
the $4,000 tons Of wheat and
barley. The United States
wanted the Koreans to sell
their rice surplus to increase
their fast dwindling reserves of
foreign exchange.

So many new office buildings
and apartments have risen in
Silver Spring recently it is no
wonder the Board of Trade now
refers to it as "The Downtown
Of Montgomery County"
The community just over the
District line has been growing
fast and mainly upward.
Most of its growth - an es-
timated $40 million worth in
the last year - has been in
multi-storied office buildings,
tall apartments and even a ho-
tel ll-floors high.
One new apartment, slated
to open in September, has II
stories, making it higher than
any In Washington and tallest
in the metropolitan area.
Brings Federal Agencies
The result of all this expan-
sion has been a change in con-
cept of what Silver Spring rep
resents. No longer, according to
the Board Of Trade, is 1t just
a shopping center but rather
"a regional business district"
that promises to keep growing
for some time to come.
All this is good news to
merchants and retail businesses
in what many claim would be
Maryland's second largest
city, If it were incorporated.
The new buildings have
brought new industry to Silver
Spring and Federal agencies
from downtown Washington.
With this in mind, merchants
are looking with eagerness to a
three-day sales promotion cam
paign which starts tomorrow.
1t will be the 10th annual
Shop Silver Spring Days" =
an event which the Board of
Trade hopes will bring finan-
cial gain to participating mer-
chants.
In Silver Spring, Main
street" is still Georgia avenue.
That's because much of the re-
tail business is concentrated on
or near 1t and because it still
is one of the principal north
south routes through the COM
munity of some $4,000 per-
sons.
The other major thorough
fare is the extension of Six
teenth street NV, q section
Of rapidly-multiplying apart
ments starting at the Eastern
avenue gateway to Maryland
and continuing to the north
and west.

to get better and wider roads
through it. He was a right
hand man In the Democratic
administration of the late Gov.
Richie and once was a mem

mission. E
There were a number of other
early developers also. Sam Fig,
once a Georgia avenue grocer
and liquor dealer, entered the
picture in 1914 when he
bought Silver Springs first ma
jor shopping center, the one at
the corner of Georgia avenue
and Colcsville road.
Since then, Mr.. Fig estimates
he has developed some 500
million worth Of real estate in
Silver Spring and elsewhere.
BY now, Silver Spring has
arrived at true city status. It's
a place where you can catch
a train direct to Chicago, st.
Louis and other cities in the
Midwest without going to
Union Station. All Baltimore 81
Ohio Railroad trains stop there
on its main line to and from
the West.
And you can catch a bus d.
rect to New York City without
going into Washington. The
railways bus firm recently IN
augurated a Fundamentally
luxury bus service between Sil-
yer Spring, Baltimore and New
York.

nance Laboratory at White Oak

Tall Buildings in Spotlight
As Silver Spring Grows Up

above the census figure of 1850,
more than 5000 above the
1860 count Of 66,348, and it has
been growing steadily each year
since.
Silver Spring today is a far
cry from the rural countryside
it was when Francis Preston
Blair, a member of President
Jackson's cabinet, accidentally
stumbled across a watering
place in a woods while on a
horseback ride in the 1840s.
He was the builder of the
Blair House, across Pennsyl-
vania avenue from the White
House, and built a country
home in 1874 which he named
Silver Spring after the water
ing place. The Blair station of
the Silver Spring Post Office
stands on the site now.
Much of the history of Silver
Spring is built around Francis
Preston Blair and his descend
ants. They helped it to de-
velop.
Mr.. Blair had two sons. One
was Montgomery Blair, VIII o
became Postmaster General
under President Lincoln and
who built the now-razed Falk-
land Mansion. The new Blair
apartment complex, the one
containing both the new IT.
story apartment and another
building IL stories tall, are on
the site now.
The other son, James Blair,
built a house known as the
Moorings. 1t is still standing in
Jesup Blair Park, named for
James Blair's son.
The elder Blair also had a
daughter who married a Lee,
Rear Admiral Samuel Phillips
Lee, a cousin of Robert e. Lee.
He built the Blair-Lee House
in Washington for them and
then bequeathed the silver
Spring home to them when he
died.
Lee Built Subdivisions
Their son was Blair Lee, who
became a United States Sena-
tor before he died on Christ
mas Day. 1914, at 81. Mr..
Lees son, E. Brooke Lee, was
an early builder of Silver
Spring. Now 10, he is mostly a
cattleman and farmer in the
Damascus area of the county.
He is the father of Blair Lee
III, who later helped guide
Silver Springs orderly growth
as a member of the Park and
Planning Commission.
But it was E. Brooke Lee
who physically built early sub
divisions of Silver Spring in

off either route to see 1t - is
in the sector between Sixteenth
street and Georgia avenue and
in the area east of Georgia ave-
nue. along Fenton street, which
runs parallel to 1t.
But that is not all there is
to Silver Spring. There are res
idential areas and other neigh
borhood shopping centers that
extend up to Wheaton, to the
city of Takoma Park and
Northwest Branch on the east
and to Rock Greek, Forest Glen
and the Capitol View avenue
section on the west.
This is the area on which
both the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission and Census Bureau
bases their population
statistics.
On the other hand, the Post
Office Department carries the
Silver Spring mailing address
considerably deeper into tn q
county, including the heavily
populated Wheaton area and
beyond and out to such places
as Hillandale, White Oak,
Colesville, Burtonsville and
Falkland.
This, perhaps, is why there
often is confusion as to popu-
lation estimates.
Second to Baltimore
Silver Springs population OF
"A, 780 on January /, for exam
pie, was based on the Census
Bureau tract that includes q
section of University boulevard
as its northern boundary.
The Wheaton area, also un-
incorporated like Silver Spring
had 59,491 at that time in its
census tract, which also in
cludes another part of Univer-
sity boulevard. And Wheaton
officially is a branch station OF
the Silver Spring Post Office,
although its Chamber of Com
merce has been pressing vigor-
ously for a change.
Both are part of the county's
18th or Wheaton Election Dis
trtct, which extends from the
District line far to the north
and includes both the munich
palities of Takoma Park and
Kensington. Its % election pre-
cincts. had a total of 1875, 1888
persons, as of January /, al
most half of the county's popu-
lation of 389,579.
But those who live or work In
Silver Spring claim the $4,000
odd figure alone would make
Silver Spring second in size to
Baltimore.
That total was over $4,000

Standing Room Only at Play Spoofing Nudism

LAWRENCE, Kan. R Do we look as you expected?" asked the naked woman starkly.
 ''NO, dear mother-in-laW, you far outstrip," Derek stammereo blushingly.
 It's likely that many of the SOC who saw the play Barely Pro- per" Friday night blushed with Derek, the leading character.
 For most of the invited audi ence, it was a rare first look into the cloistered confines of a nudist camp. To ease the shock to the outsiders, the camp residents put on clothes.
 But the play, an outrageously funny-but not naughty-spoof on nudism, pulled no punches.
 The nine actors and actresses were naked.
 The American Sunbathing Asso- citation presented the play to pro- mote goodwill. The hour long comedy was written by Charles Cyprian Cushing, successful Broadway playwright in the POS and 30s.
 Cushing, who had never met a nudist, drought it would be fun to write the play. He considered it unplayable because he saw no place where it could be presented.
 A Southern California n u d S t group, the Pacificans, obtained a copy and has presented it twice last year at a convention in Ore gon and Friday night.
 There was more than a stand ing room audience for the tent like building and the play had to be presented twice to accomodate everybody. Afterward playgoers had chance to mingle with the actors and residents of the camp.
 For those whose opinions of nudist might have wavered, one of Derek's lines seemed appro- priate::
 What about doing it in de- grees-shirts today, shorts tomor- row."

MObster Valachi Will Finger Top Racketeers For Senate Investigation

WASHINGTON R- Joseph Va lachi, the mobster who chose to talk, was tabbed to be the star witness in big-scale new Senate investigation of syndicated crime
 Sen. John Mcclellan, D Ark, announced the Justice Department will make Valachi available to testify in public hearing within the next few weeks.
 Mcclellan said members of his Senate Investigations subcommit- tee staff already have interviewed the New York mobster in secret hideout where the Justice Depart ment holds Valachi in protective custody.
 The underworld reportedly has a standing offer of $lOO,OOO to any of it's assassins who can get to Valachi and silence him. McClel- Ian said he is not disturbed about this.
 The Justice Department has con- firned that Valachi has become an informer, and has put the finger on top mobsters and racketeers in a coast-to-cOast crime syndicate known as "Cosa Nostra."
 McClellan's new crime probe was originally planned to deal only with interstate and interna- tional narcotics rackets and to start much later.
 Discovery that the subcommit- tee could use Valachi's testimony, however, brought change in plans. The investigation will cover wider fields and delve into under world mysteries the senators say they otherwise could not h ave hoped to plumb.

Six House Republicans Ask Why US. Wastes Billions on Foreign Aid

WASHINGTON R-Six Repub- lican members of the House For eign Affairs Committee have fired a broadside at foreign aid spend ing.
 They said the United States should no longer 'try to police and Wet-nurse the whole world"
 The six sounded their dissent Friday from report by the com mittee's majority explaining the $4.l billion foreign aid authoriza- ton bill.
 The bill, which sets ceilings on foreign aid spending, will pro- bably reach the House floor the week after next and touch off the usual sharp debate over the pro- grams pros and cons.
 The six Republicans questioned why the United States should con- tinue ito spend billions on foreign aid when the recipients of our assistance-the rich and the poor alike-appear so little concerned about helping themselves and helping each other"
