Civic Units Fight
Apartment Zoning
Civic associations in the vicinity of the old Indian
Springs Country Club have massed for an attack on a pro
posed zone change which would pave the way for an apart
ment construction on the former club site.
According to Leon R. Gross, president of the Pine-
crest Citizens Association, the
group’s executive committee has
voted to oppose the zone change
at a hearing scheduled Monday
at 8 p.m. before the County
Council, and similar objections
will be voiced by representatives
of five other civic associations
in the area.
Under the application filed by
Jack Kay and others, according
to Gross, some 35 acres would
be rezoned from R-60 (residen
tial) to R-10 (high density multi
ple dwellings) and another B*4
acres would be zoned for C-l
(light commercial) use. The
commercial zoning would per
mit construction of a shopping
center to serve the proposed
apartment development.
The property is situated at
the southeast corner of Coles
ville rd. and University blvd.
Approved By Planners
Approval of the rezoning has
been recommended by the Mont
gomery County Planning Board,
which found the area to be a
“logical” location for the devel
opment of apartments in view of
its accessibility to high speed
highways. In addition to Coles
ville rd. and University blvd.,
the board noted, the area soon
will be adjacent to the Capital
Beltway, now under construc
tion.
Gross said the executive com
mittee of his association feels
that the proposed zone change
would "result in unfullable de
mands upon the community and
governmental, health, safety,
welfare, educational and trans
portation resources and facili
ties in the area.”
Furthermore, he contended,
“such development will create
economic and sociological prob
lems which will greatly aggra-

Action Promised
On Bus Shelter
An official of the D. C.
Transit Co. told The Sentinel
this week a long-promised
passenger shelter at the com
pany’s bus terminal in Silver
Spring should be completed
within 45 days.
“We’re doing everything we
possibly can to get it up as
fast as we can,” said Morris
Fox, vice president of the
utility.
Fox said a combination of
inclement weather and engi
neering delays have prevent
ed the shelter’s completion at
an earlier date. The principal
structural segments of the
shelter are being fabricated
by the Gichner Iron Works,
he said, and added: “You just
can’t put something like this
up overnight.”
The Gichner firm also has
the contract for erection of
the shelter, according to Fox.
The promise of the shelter
was one of the conditions on
which the County Council ap
proved use of the Silver
Spring terminal, at Pershing
dr. and Wayne ave., last sum
mer. The bus center began
operations on September 11.
Social Security
Facts Available
In New Booklet
A new leaflet describing so
cial security financial opera
tions during fiscal 1960 is now
available at the social security
district office at 8113 Fenton
st., Silver Spring.
"Facts About the Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance Trust
Fund and the Disability Insur
ance Trust Fund” notes that at
the end of last June total assets
of the Old-Age and Survivors
Insurance Trust Fund stood at
$20.8 billion, while assets for
the Disability Insurance Trust
Fund was $2.1 billion.
The new leaflet gives back
ground information on how so
cial security insurance benefits
are financed. Social security
taxes and interest on invested
assets are designed to keep the
programs on a self-supporting
basis.
"This new leaflet,” said Sil
ver Spring district manager
Charles M. Sylvester, “may
clear up some misunderstand
ings about the nature of the
social security trust funds and
how they are invested.”

New Club for
GOP Men to
Be Explored
The possibility of forming a
Men's Republican Club in Mont
gomery County will be explored
at a “try out” meeting to be
held tonight at 8:30 in the new
Republican Headquarters at
Kensington.
Invitations have been extend
ed to some 60 Republican men,
representing a cross-section of
the party in the county, accord
ing to Ben C. Fisher, acting
chairman for the group. ThSir
views will be sought on the de
sirability of such a club add Its
nature and objectives in the
event its formation is favored.
Fisher said the move was
sparked by a group of about
ten GOP men in response to
growing interest in the forma
tion of a Men’s Republican
Club. The group has held sev
eral preliminary meetings and
has drafted a tentative constit
ution which will be presented
for consideration at tonight’s
meeting.
If the proposed club is ap
proved, Fisher said, a general
membership meeting will be
called at a future date for the
purpose of organizing and elect
ing officers.
