In approving plans for the

During hearings before the
Council Robert w. Eisinger
Jr. appeared as agent for the
applicants and said the purpose
of the application was ito gain
control of the air rights over
the railroad bed in order to

In an application for permit
for preliminary excavation and
foundation work, granted re-
Gently by the county's Depart
ment of Licenses and Inspec-
tons, he listed the project as a
10-StOry office building.
The overall project, he told
the Council, would have the ef-
feet of converting the original
railroad into a 500-foot tunnel
underneath the new building.
In line with terrific restric-
tions" imposed by the B & o in
granting the lease, he said,
there will be no smoke problem
in the railroad sector.
During the more recent hear
ings on the application of the
E.J.P. Corp, witnesses testified
that the "air rights" type of
construction has become
prominent in other areas of the
country, and cited as an out
standing example the Pan
American Building in New York
City, a 59-story structure di-
rectly over the Grand Central
Railroad Station.
According to applications on
file, development of the E.J.P.
Corp. project would involve
some 1880 square feet of air
space, almost twice the size
of the Eisinger proposal.

Zoning Plea
In Damascus
RecOnsidered

The Montgomery County
Council has under consideration
request to reverse a decision
of its predecessors, who turned
down rezonnig decision sought
last year as the basis for crea-
ton of a large shopping center
in Damascus.
In rehearing held last week
as the result of the Councils
own motion, divergent views
were aired on the request of
James c. Dulin for rezoning of
a 14.7-acre tract in the Damas-
Gus business area from rural
residential to commercial. The
previous Council turned it down
last October by a So vote.
1t contrast to supporting testi-
mony presented by a variety of
witnesses, the change was op-
posed only by Attorney Joseph
P. Blocker, representing a Da-
mascus businessman Directing
to the shopping center project.
He spoke briefly, summarizing
testimony introduced in the
earlier case as the basis of the
Councils rejection.
Among supporters of the
change was Matthew Witten-
stein, Rockville planning con.
sultant, who contended that an
established shopping center in
Damascus would have "tremen-
dous potential because of its
convenience to residents of ad.
1acent sections of Frederick,
Howard and Carroll Counties
as well as Montgomery.
Other hackers of the zone
change included Joe C. Rogers,
a subdivision designer, and
jerry Cook, a Damascus realtor
and insurance representative, as
well as residents of the area.
Blocker, in his brief response,
contended that lack of ade-
quate sewage facilities was a
vital factor in any rezoning con.
sideration. Under existing regu-
lations, he asserted, there is no
justification for a change in
zoning and insisted the new
hearing had failed to produce
sufficient evidence or "error or
mistake" to bring about a rever-
sal of the earlier decision.

The tract at Atlantic Ave.
and Veirs Mill Road, owned by
Jerry Hannah of Washington,
has been reZoned from residen-
tial to either CT or OF = the
final choice still to be settled
in a formal decree by Judge
James H. Pugh = in a reversal
of an earlier decision in which
the Rockville City Council re.
jected the change.
In turning down the city's
contention that the land should
remain residential, Judge Pugh
said his formal decree would
specify whether it should be
zoned for general commercial
use (C-2) or offices (O-2). Since
the decision three weeks ago,
however, Rockville City Attor-
ney William Linthicum has
filed a proposal that the de-
cree give to the City Council
the right to determine which
of the two alternate uses be
determined.
Whatever the decision
might be, longtime hackers
of the library project have
viewed it as a blow on the
ground that any increase
from residential to business
use would bring about a
sharp increase in the price of
the property, probably put
ting it out of reach of avail
able site purchase funds.
Viewed as another setback is
the possibility that the County
library system would lose out
on an offer of about another
acre of land adjacent to the
Hannah property, made by the
City of Rockville on the condi-
ton the private tract is &C.
quired for library purposes. In
asmuch as the final court de-
cision is still pending, city Of
ficials have not discussed the
gift offer.
While funds are provided in
the new County budget pro-
posed by County Manager Ma
son Butcher for future pur-
chase of library sites in Twin
brook and other areas, no spe-
cific sum has been mentioned
for obvious reasons. However,
officials of the TWinbrook Citi-
zens Association pointed out in
a recent newsletter that "un-
fortunately, the price tag was
based on sale of R-60 property"
Established as the result of

THE LEE INVASION.
We find that experienced
officers here, in a position to
enable them to judge ad-
visedly, do not attach much
importance to the report Of
an invasion by Lees army.
Desperate as is the posi-
ton of Confederate affairs,
it is held that Lee is too pru-
dent a commander to jump
out Of the frying pan into the
fire by any such suicidal
move as the invasion of Mary

site because a son had a good

nearby with his family. And
because two other men in the
New England company had
settled in this area with their
wives.
Their total retirement in

the savings and loan divi-
dends added another SAT, for
a total of $312. Any fool and
