notion that because the

wonderful product.
This is simply not so.
On a recent visit, The
Rambler found everything
quite normal and no one
made any mention of the
S8th Congress. Production
remains steady.
James A. Conlon, a young,
bright man, chief of cur
rency and stamp manufac-
turing, conducted the tour
of Washington's famous fac
tory off Fourteenth street.
We passed a collection of
presses humping out SIS
notes, 1S to a sheet, Is sheets

The place was immaculate.
The printers moved quietly
about, checking the quality.
They appeared to be men in
their Sos, all dignified.
On the top of each of the
presses, they had placed an
American flag-the kind you
can buy at carnivals with
the wooden stick.
In a big, long room, at
least 100 women sat at tables
and flipped sheet after sheet
of 81 bills. They can spot the

Montgomery County was made
public today.
1t is the first serious threat
to the corridor city concept
which recently was indorsed by
President Kennedy.
The Year 1000 proposal calls
for intensive development of
cities of $4,000 to 125,O0O
population, around transit
stops along Interstate 70S. Vast
areas of the county would be
left for open space.
The counter-proposal calls
for a rib and spine arrange

corridor around Interstate 70S
would be put into reserve for
industrial and scientific re-
search sites. There would be

growth reaching into the open
spaces, with commercial shop

areas. More land would be
used for residences.
