Montgomery Civic Federation
Members Are Unanimous
for Substitute.
BY HOWARD M. BAGGETT,
Staff Correspondent of The Star.
BETHESDA, Md., February 9—The
vexing Armstrong school board reso
lution was settled last night, in so far
as the Montgomery County Civic Fed
eration is concerned, by the adoption
without a negative vote of a substitute
resolution introduced by Robert E.
Bondy at the meeting of the federation
held at the Bethesda Elementary
School.
An agreement to vote for the sub
stitute resolution had been reached by
both the sponsors and opponents of
the original resolution following a
number of informal gatherings held
over several days prior to the meeting
and no one interposed a single objection
or suggested a word of change when
the matter was brought up last night.
Resolution Is Affirmative.
As adopted, the substitute resolution
introduced by Mr. Bondy, chairman of
the school's committee, is entirely
affirmative in its declarations and
leaves out such negative statements
made in the original resolution that
the school board should be non-political
and non-partisan in character. Pro
ponents of the original measure, how
ever, expressed the belief that much
of the effect sought by that resolution
would be obtained.
Regardless of the wording of the
measure adopted last night, it was gen
erally felt by those prominent in Civic
Federation affairs that the fight over
the qualifications of school board ap
pointees would have the effect of ob
taining the results desired.
W. B. Armstrong, secretary of the
federation, who introduced the original
resolution, was among those who arose
in support of the Substitute last night,
but he added the statement that he
personally would have liked to have
seen the resolution go further, so as to
state that appointments should be
made without political pressure and
thereby definitely lift the board above
and out of the political system. Mr.
Armstrong added, however, that he be
lieved that without making a definite
statement on this subject the resolu
tion in effect would accomplish that
end.
As adopted, the resolution read:
"Resolved, That the Board of Educa
tion of Montgomery County is a body of
lay members to represent in the public
school system the interests of the peo
ple of the county in matters of school
curricula and general educational in
terests in the administration of the pub
lic school system, and that appointees
to the Board of Education should be
men or women who have demonstrated
their devotion to the general public
civic interest, who are recognized par
ticipants in the activities that promote
the .educational progress of the com
munity. and who are by education and
experience qualified to advise with re
gard to the requirements of an adequate
and efficient system of public education,
and should further, where possible, add
the benefits of business training and ex
perience.”
A meeting of representatives of the
county commissioners, other govern
mental authorities throughout the
county, including the various incorpor
ated towns and taxing areas, and repre
sentatives of the District of Columbia
government and the two park and plan
ning commissions will be called under
instructions given the Committee on
Legislation and Legal Action to seek a
way for the adoption of a systematic
plan for street naming and house num
bering in the county. An appropria
tion of $50 to assemble data was made
to this committee over the protest of
several members.
The federation also adopted a resolu
tion, introduced by J. Bond Smith,
chairman of the Legislation and Legal
Action Committee, calling on Senators
Millard E. Tydings and Phillips Lee
Goldsborough and Representative David
Lewis to insist upon the publication of
the engineer's report with plans for the
straightening and widening of Conduit
road from the District Line to Great
Palls, which report is now in the House
of Representatives.
Two rezoning applications, one affect
ing property on Wisconsin avenue in the
county between the District Line and
Bradley lane and the other on Wiscon
sin avenue in the District of Columbia,
were opposed in resolutlbns adopted by
the federation after they had been re
ported affirmatively as emergency meas
ures by the Advisory Committee headed
by Stephen James, chairman. One <U
the measures opposed seeks permission
to build apartment houses on Wisconsin
avenue in the county and the other to
build an undertaking establishment
and crematory in Washington, near the
county, it was stated. Both will come
up for action by the respective govern
mental authorities within a few days.
An Immediate merger of the present
transportation companies serving Mont
gomery County from the District of Co
lumbia and the improvement of such
transportation service was favored in
a resolution adopted. This was in
i troduced by J. Harry Welch, chairman
of the Public Utilities Committee. This
committee also expressed the belief that
the matter of improved telephone serv
ice for Kensington, without additional
cost to subscribers, should be taken
before the Maryland Public Utilities
Committee.
W. I. Cleveland, chairman of the
Membership Committee, presented a
detailed report showing the geographi
cal location of the areas covered by the
federation and the proportions of the
county population represented. This
showed that almost half of the repre
sentation came from the general Be
thesda area, and that the territory
covered by many member organizations
overlapped. He stated that an effort
to interest organizations not now mem
bers of the federation was being made.
Removal of the United States Gov
ernmental Experimental Station in
Bethesda to a more suitable agricul
tural section and the dedication of the
50-acre tract to the county by the
Federal Government for park purposes
was advocated in a resolution adopted.
This resolution also placed the feder
ation on record as favoring the devel
opment of the parkway along the
Willet Brook and Little Falls Branch
Valleys, including community play
grounds or parks, as speedily as con
ditions and finances will permit. This
matter was introduced by Charles W.
Hopkins, chairman of the Committee
on Internal County Improvements.
O. M. Kile, chairman of Publicity,
reported that the county booklet being
compiled by Greater Montgomery
County, Inc., would be off the pros
in about a month. .
A gavel, made by William Alden, a
student at the Takoma-Silver Spring
High School, under the direction of the
supervisor of manual training at the
school, was presented to President
Frederic P. Lee by Past President
Stephen James on behalf of the
school.
JOINT SUIT FILED
Passenger Sues Driver of Double
Parked Car and Cab Company.
An attempt to hold the driver of a
double parked car jointly liable with a
taxicab company for injuries resulting
in a collision was made yesterday in a
suit filed in the District Supreme Court
by Attorney Homer L. McCormick rep
resenting Alfred A. Kinney, a passenger
in a taxicab, who was injured severely
in the collision.
A car owned by Harry G. Taylor, 5355
Nevada avenue, it is claimed, was parked
double March 15 on Seventeenth street
near K street when Kinney, a passenger
in a cab of the Nickel Cab Co., was in
jured when the cab collided with Tay
lor's car. Kinney places his damages
at $10,000.

many new truck features and improvements, they
make the new six-cylinder Chevrolet truck, more than
