A—16 * SETTLE ARMSTRONG RESOLUTION FIEHT 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 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 o 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- THE EVENING tion in effect would accomplish that end. As adopted, the resolution read: “Resolved, That the Board of Educa- tion of Montgomery County is & 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, 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- other govern- | STAR, WASHINGTON, 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 Falls, 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 resolutions 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 of 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- riental authorities within a few days. An immediate merger of the present | gomery County from the District of Co- lumbia and the improvement of such | transportation service was favored in transportation companies serving Mont- | grot D. C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 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 Eaverlnnped. 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 Littie Falls Branch Valleys, including community play- unds or parks, as speedily as con- ditions and finances will permit. This matter was introduced by Charles W. | Hopkins, chairman of the Committee 1932. wdnoeouat;y booklet being real Montgomery County, Inc., would be off the press in about a month.
