Twinbrook is located in Southeastern Rockville
from the Rockville Pike cross Viers Mill Road to Bati-
more and Norbeck Roads. Approximately 1000 fami-
lies dwell in this area. These are energetic civic
minded people who in 1949 joined together to form the
Twinbrook Citizens Association (TCA) Tea en-
braces Twinbrook Forest, Twinbrook Park Rockland
and Meadow Hills Subdivision.
Every resident of Twinbrook is a member. The
purpose of the association is to act in behalf of the
residents. Since its inception TEA has effectively
pressed the interests of the residents of Twinbrook
The accomplishments during the past IA years too
numerous to state but those since my installation last

Pocket Billiard ParIor
The first problem to be brought to my attention
after my installation the prospect of pocket bill

ter poll of the residents showed that 81 % were
against the pocket billiard parlor The gathering of
these opinions accomplished by the concerted
efforts of the Tea organization consisting of block
captains, charmen and elected officers. In view
of the results of the Tea poll, and the objection Of
the Twinbrook Shopping Center Merchants Associa-
ton, the Special Application for the Paror was with
drawn at the January 9Th hearing Of the Rockville

Middle East Ban

President NaSser has made a well
come move in announcing that the
United Arab Republic will subscribe to
the new nuclear teSt-ban treaty. If Is
rael now follows suit, as it is expected to
do, the Middle East will have reason to
feel at least little bit less tense.
Periodically, for months past, the
ISraeliS and the Egyptians have &C
cuSed each other of planning to man
ufacture nuclear weapons. Mr.. Nasser's
propagandiStS, for example, have made
much Of the fact that Israel is building
nonmilitary reactor capable of pro-
ducing fashionable material for military
purposes. And the ISraeliS, in turn, have
had dark things to say about Cairo'S
ambitions along the same line.
Actually, neither Israel nor the
United Arab Republic has the capacity
to develop nuclear arsenal of any con-
sequence in the years Immediately
ahead, If ever. Even so, given their for
NAL adherence to the Anglo-American-
Soviet test ban, both countries will be
making a psychological contribution to

This is particularly notable in the
employe relations programs he insti-

was made happier by pay raise. Mr..
