$58,000 Cedar Brook Pool
Opens to Capacity Crowds
Capacity crowds have marked
the opening of the new Cedar
Brook community swimming pool
at Cedar Lane and Summit ave
nue near Kensington, Md.
The pool opened Sunday, with
the fanfare of ceremonies over
whelmed by the eagerness of
pool members to get in the
swim.
Located on a three-acre tract, i
the poolts 82 feet long, with the
width varying frm 35 to 55 feet.'
It boasts two diving boards; Ini
addition, there's a wading pool
for pre-school children.
Over the week end, 100 volun
teers put the finishing touches
on the project, painting the 1
bathhouse and erecting tempo-,
rary fencing.
The 350 pool members live;
’ by the groups which seeks to pre
. serve public school segregation,
. are:
1. Can you be relied upon to
give your full support to a pro
gram that will prevent Integra
tion in Virginia public schools
2. Do you believe that State
sovereignty in such fields as edu
cation is necessary for the main
; tenance of individual liberties in
i this country?
3. Do you consider that the
recent Supreme Court decision
i against segregated schools was an
invasion of State sovereignty in
view of the fact that all previous
court decisions upheld the ex
clusive right to States under their
police powers to operate their
public schools?

0 Charles T. Le Viness, director of i
. public relations for the State
- Roads Commission, estimated 1
yesterday he had received $2,800 j
8 in expense money for staging
’ ceremonies during. 18 months, i
i He stated there were 25 such l
ceremonies in connection with '
e breaking ground or cutting rib- 1
i bons, so his reimbursements av- ‘
i eraged sll2.
i “Sometimes the contractor on
s the project picks up the check ,
-for these affairs and sometimes !
r he does not,” Mr. Le Viness said. j
r It was the first statement by ,
Mr. Le Viness since publicity of j
his expenses by the Baltimore
Evening Sun brought a comment
of “ridiculous’’ from Gov. Mc-
Keldin and promise of an inves
tigation by the State Roads
Commission chairman.
Expense entries of Mr. Le,
Viness showed some for recep- t
■ tions for the Governor.
1 "That is 100 per cent incor- -
• rect,” declared Gov. McKeldin.
“If he’s given expensive recep
. tions, he hasn't given them for
y me.”
5 Mr. Le Viness said he expects
i to discuss the matter with Rus
e sell H. McCain, roads chairman,
i today. Mr. Le Viness added that
“every expense statement sub
e mitted by me is personally ex
-7 amined and approved in writing”
f by Mr. McCain and his controller.
Carl Wannen, controller for
the roads commission, said Le-
Viness was paid expenses from
the specific contract on the proj
ect. They were over and above
the $25,091 budget for the pub

Four Renamed
To Park and
| Planning Jobs
Gov. McKeldin has reap
pointed the four members of the
Maryland-National Park and
Planning Commission whose
terms expired this year.
He did so over the week end
as a follow up of his veto of a
bill which would have reorgan
ised the agency and put appoint
ments under control of the
Montgomery County Council and
the Prince Georges County Com
missioners.
The four commissioners reap
pointed for six-year terms, effec
tive Last May 1, are Herbert W.
Wells. Alva H. Bender, Donald E.
Gingery and Arnold B. McKee.
The first two are Prince Georges’
members of the commission, the
others from Montgomery County.
Mr. Wells and Mr. Gingery are
Democrats. Mr. Bender and Mr.
McKee are Republicans.
All were to receive letters and
their commission today.
The other two members of the
bi-county agency Chairman
Carlton Pyles of Silver Hill and
Vice Chairman and Park Com
missioner Sidney M. Oliver of
Silver Spring—are serving terms
. that expire May 1, 1957. Both
I are Republican.
Os the four renamed, Mr.
I Wells of College Park, has the
| most service with the commis-
I sion. He was named in 1947 to
fill an unexpired vacancy and
was appointed to a six-year term
in 1949. Mr. Gingery of Chevy
Chase was appointed in 1949
also. Mr. McKee of Bethesda
was named in the fall of 1953
to succeed Richard F. Green,
who retired. Mr. Bender, also
of College Park, was named last
fall upon the death of Robert
M. Watkins, former chairman of
the commission.
The bill which would have
given the two county governing
bodies control over the commis
sion appointments was approved
during the last session of the
General Assembly. It would
have given each county the right
to make three appointments on
their own, without waiting for
the Governor to do so.
In vetoing it. Gov. McKeldin
noted, among other things, that
the measure failed to provide for
minority representation.
Those reappointed all had the
indorsement of their respective
party State Central Committees.
