GHI Committee Report Hits Handling of Maintenance

' by Sid Kastner . GHI Director Joe Cherry, head of the maintenance committee,

submitted a report to the GHI board at a special meeting last Thursday which criticized management handling of several main­tenance items. In every case GHI Manager Roy Breashears pointed out that problem had long been known and a remedy either already underway or planned. 1 ,~,lilt

The first section dealt with an attempt by the committee to fix responsibility for neglect. Mana­ger Breashears replied that it was difficult to see how one could do this when management and board were both involved in operational matters. The opinion of Director Bill Helm was that one could place responsibility for a matter on the board if the matter had been placed before the board. Otherwise, mana­gement was responsible. Chairman Zubkoff noted that the word "neg­_lect" did not seem to be appro­priate.

The next section referred to lack of staff personnel. The report asked what had been done by the manager or the board up to the present to remedy this. Breashears reviewed the situation, stating that an increase in staff had not been requested previously because the need was only now becoming press­ing. Staff size is 'the same as in earlier years, but turnover is less because of recently added fringe benefits such as hospitalization.

1\laintenance Service 'Ilhe efficiency and promptness

of the staff's response to service calls was inquired Into In the report's next section. The manager noted that cards had been handed out to GHI members, in a six­month survey now in progress, to obtain a member evaluation of the maintenance service. 799 cards had been returned out of a total of 1489. The great majority were favorable in their reactions. Cour­tesy 1md effectiveness in the tel~r

phone answering service was rated as good in 97% of the replies.

Director Cherry reported next that th<• committPe's feeling was thnt there should br• a program of periodic inHJlt'dions, with emphaHis on such items as ovt>rlondPd t>lec­tric wiring nnd sticking windows particularly items addPd or in­Hiallt•tl without HJH'citic Gllf np­pro\·:11.

tor Bordenet. The report proposed a program in eight steps, including a survey of long term needs, study of costs involved, plan of repairs and replacement, and successive steps for financing and possible en­gineering surveys. Bordenet felt that GHI members should "do more than we have done" to "maintain the marketability of our homes".

Manager"'' Breashears expressed his agreement with this section of the report. Thus even though some discussion ensued between Directors Comproni and Zubkoff as to where the credit should go for first bringing out the urgency of the replacement problem, com­mittee and management were in full agreement on the issue itself.. Director Helm favored the com­mitt.ce's eight-point program,and recommended that the manager fol­low it chronologically: However, Manager Breashears replied that a reevaluation "of this kind was already being carried out. Discus­sion of the program was carried over on the agenda for the next meeting.

In connection with the beating pipe replacement problem, outside experts have been contacted in­formally by a member, Frank Gon­da, and by Director Cherry, con­cerning the posslblllties of Individ­ual heating plants or gas heating. However the board moved, on a motion by Bordenet, to table this matter of inviting these outside estimates until the staff and com­mittee complete their own study.

Pilski Elected to ~uacil Vaea1cy, Helps Defeat Stidham Zo1i11 Re~~•est

by AI SbiDik Requiring only six ballots, the city council on Monday, May 6,

named Richard R. Pilski, 6 Orange court, to the seat left vacant by the resignation of Tom Canning, He was sworn in and took his seat immediately after the election.

Three candidates were nominated by council members. Ben Gold­faden nominated Pllsk~ Bill Phil­lips nominated James Smith wbo had previously served on the coun­cil In 1957-59, and Mayor Francis White nominated LeWis Bernstein, chairman of the Advisory Plan­ning Board.

On the first ballot, the count stood two for Bernstein, and one each for the other candidate& On the second ballot, a deadlock de­veloped with Bernstein receiving two votes and PIJsld two votes. The deadlock prevailed until the sixth ballot, when Pllskl secured a 3-1 majority. All voting was by secret balloting.

Stidham Zoning Pilski immediately found himself

in the llmei!ght as he cast a de­ciding vote against the appi!cation of Stidham Tire Company for a rezoning of the plot opposite Greenbelt Junior High School from RR ((rural residential) to I-1 Hn­dustrlal light Industry). The coun­cil had split on this issue with Goldfaden and Wblte in favor and Dave Champion and Phillips op­posed.

The Stidham Company had indi­cated an intent to build a 2-story building near the present inter­section of Kenilworth Ave. and Edmonston rd. which would house its office personnel upstairs and a retail outlet, combined with gar­age operations for recapping and storing tires, downstairs.

In the hour-long debate wblch preceded the vote on the Stidham appi!catlon, White reported that the council had met with the de­veloper and William Martin, the owner of the land, and had receiv­ed several concessions. One was that the south piece of the prop­

-~rt;)~ (at tbe. corner of_,Kenllworth and Greenbelt rd.) would be wfth­dra wn .. from -the zonin¥ application since it was not needed for present operations. Second, the Stidham Company agreed to enter into covenants with the city which. among other things, would pro­vide for nn architectural control committee designed to assure thnt construction design conforms with land use.

lndw;triullzation FParl'd Champion stated that he did not

think that any covenants could control or disg-uisp til<' unsightl)• type of opPrationH that would go on nt this .sitf'. HP also exprPs.st•d fmr that Huch 'pot zoning might I Pad to industrializ;ttion of t ht'

wholt> nrca. which i~ :tdjact•nt to I'I'Sidt·ntinl an'a-"'.

-----------------ment that would 'be much more undesirable than a. tire operation. He pointed out that Greenbelt no longer has sutlicfent area for industrial development, since the original site fpr industrial planning Is now being developed as reiriden­tfal - Springhfll Lake. He felt some Industry waa needed to give Greenbelt a balanced tax billie.

Goldfaden deplored the 8U8Pici­ons that have been cast upon the developers and said that these men have to be taken at their word as to what they will do with the rewned land, or else Greenbelt will never get new development.

Pilskl, in voting against the zoning petition, said he had per­sonally visited Stidham's opera­tion in other areas and is con­vinced that the operation would not be a desirable one for the Greenbelt site.

The application, with the coun­cil's recommendation for denial, will now go to the Maryiand-Na­tional Capital . Park and Planning Commission for its reco~menda­tfon and tben to the County Com­missioners for final action.

Other Zoning Propolied In another zoning matter, the

council voted to set up a meeting with Frank Ewing and AI Smith who have requested that 4 tracts of land lying at the easterly limits of Greenbelt on Glenn Dale road be rezoned for high-rise and garden-type apartments. Involved are 309 acres, of which 1111 would be used for high rise apartments. The Advisory Planning Botud recommended that Council ad­vise MNCPPC to deny the ap­plleatlons on grounds that preeent zoning In Greenbelt would permit the development of an abUDdance of-llddttMnal multlple·famlly units and that no need exists to provide still additional units of this type. APB pointed out that if rezoning is granted, the apartments could bring another 20,000 people into Greenbelt. It also noted the tmffie problems that would be created o•1 Glenn Dale rd. which has only a single-lane bridge over the Balti­moreWashington Parkway. White said that it was his understanding thnt NASA is seeking additional roads to relieve the traffic conges­tion.

Two Unneeded GHI By-Laws . '

'The GHI by-laws committee has spent many hours revising the 1Jy-laws which are now to be voted upon by the membership at the :annual meeting on Wednesday night, May 15. For the most part, the suggested changes are improvements. We would like to com­·ment, however, on two changes that we think should be turned .down.

Article IV, Section 2b. - This is a new section and provides that a membership request for a special meeting may be disregarded if it is illegal or would in any way jeopardize the corporation. This :section should be voted down, since it, in effect, arrogates to the Gill board the power to deny or approve a petition request by the members for a special meeting. The whole purpose of permitting the call of membership meetings by petition is to give the member­ship a chance to call a special meeting when the GHI board refuses to do so on its own. If the Gill board can refuse to acknowledge a petition request, under the pretense that the action would be illegal or would jeopardize. the corporation, then where is the membership protection? If the GHI board is only required to call a special meeting when it agrees with the subject matter, then why have the petition method at all?

Article V, Section 8.-The necessity for a conflict-of-interest section has not been demonstrated and seems to have been proposed in haste out of mistrust and misguided zeal. Furthermore, the hnguage is so broad as to be practically meaningless. Conceivably, for example, the conflict-of-interest clause could apply to a GHI di­rector or management employee who owns stock in GCS (another cooperative organization).

The purpose of the general revision of the GHI By-laws to · be presented to the members next Wednesday is to weed out mean­ingleas, confusing and obsolete regulations. Any new by-law, such as this one, which does not clearly improve the management of the Corporation, is opposed to the objective of the by-law revisions. Further-more this by-law would generate confusion and even bitter conflict among GHI officials - all for no worthwhile purpose. GHI needs this proposed by-law about as much as it needs a plague of termites.

Rent Resolution Footnote We hope that no GHI member is confused by the footnote to

the Nlfios Review rent resolution that appears on the GHI agenda for the annual membership meeting. (This footnote states that the resolution could jeopardize the relationship of the separate en­tities GHI and GDC). The footnote was inserted by the same bloc of board members who refused to honor a petition for a membership meeting signed by 650 members. It is designed once again to block or discourage a membership vote on the resolution by raising the specter that such a vote could jeopardize the independent status of GDC and GHI.

The truth of the matter is that the News Review rent resolu­ton (requested by membership petition) was very carefully worded upon legal advice so as to avoid any poasibility that it could be construed as jeopardizing the relationship of GDC and GHI. The resolution simply asks the membership to go on record in support of the long-standing policy of the GHI board, in its capacity as sole stockholder of GDC, to favor the provision for rent-free quar­ters for the Nru'.• Rcl'icw. The resolution does not meddle in the internal affairs of GDC, since it deals with policy and not admini­stration.

We feel certain that th<' mPmhership will not b!' taken in by this spurious issue and that tlwy will support the Nrw.• Rrl'ir·w resolu­tion. A strong aflirmativc vott> will c!Parly establish I hat I hP mrmbcrs want to prPvPn! fuiHn' harassmPnt of llw Nne.• N•·­ir•w by a faction on lhP r.nc Board.

I am glad to see that the ··eon­Ci'rnpd" candidatPs havt• as a part of their platform a planned pro­gram for repair and maintenance. It was only after my motion that a maintenance committee be esta­blished. and this was done, that the board of directors began to get substantive information on the condition of GHI properties. The first report of the maintenance committee pointed out several areas of maintenance that were develop­ing into major problems. Inter· o>stingly enough, the General Man• ager made a report recommending reserves be set up for these major areas of maintenance five days be-

He also im­plies that the annual budget was not reviewed by the board before it was passed, but evidently he does not know that It was re­viewed and discussed at three separate meetings before final passage.

Phillips says that he does not believe in suicide, but judging by the manner In which he butchers the truth, I wonder If he has an equal abhorrence of murder.

Invulnerable To the Editor:

Ignorance that time 16 months ago, there have been no further board discus­sions on the matter.

Similarly, the construction of a high-rise building has not been gi­ven any formal consideration by the board and there has been no recording of sentiments of individ­ual board members. As a matter of fact, though, one of the earliest proposals for a multiple-story build­ing opposite the Community Church came from director Allen Morrison who suggested the construction of an apartment building for elderly housing In a memorandum to the GHI board In August 1960.

~lr. Phillips' ldl•·r also praised ~lr 1\lorrisun for putting th(• in­surance and pen:;ion plan on n fair cumpetitive basis. I have b(•en cov­ering GHI events since 1955 and during this ·time, fair compettive bids have been used to purchase Insurance all along. Since Mr. Morrison was not elected to the board until 1959, I do not under­stand what Mr. Phillips Is referring to.

AI Skolnik

WHERE WAS HE? To the Editor:

The sentiments recently express­ed by GHI Board candidate Ber­nard Fritz have much to recom­mend them - but as Gordon AI· len subsequently pointed out, what has Mr. Fritz done about It? Where was be during the past 2% years when Greenbelt's own Plan­ning Board made formal reports to City Council on 18 different re­zoning petitions? Where was he when Council debated and took ac­tion on those petitions, plus a num­ber of others that came up before the Planning Board came Into existence? And last but not least, where was he when the County Commissioners held public hear­ings on all these rezoning peti­tions?

Many Greenbelt citizens were seen and · heard at the marathon hearing in February, 1962. Gordon Allen, George Phibbs, and Anne Pisano - just to name a few -spoke forcefully against the whole­sale conversion of green space to asphalt and brick.

No, Mr. Fritz was not consplcl­ous a~ a champion of green space

· then. But in that critical hour of Greenbelt's history - when we were threatened with the spawning of three regional shopping centers <capable of serving 3/4 million customers), as well as becoming the apartment mecca of the Washington-Baltimore region -It was Frank Lastner who made aJl eight motions denying an eight of the rezoning petitions.

Yes, Mr. Fritz. Greenbelt can yet retain some or Its inherent ad­vantages - but only If our citi­zens are willing to take appropriate action the year around instead of professing concern just before an election. · ·

GHI PROXY VOTING Any Gill member who has given his proxy to someone may with­draw It at any time up to the time of the election on Wed­nesday, May 1~ by asking for it at the Gill office.

If it is true, as the saying goes, that what you don't know can't hurt you, then Bill Phillips is ab­solutely invulnrrable. He has referred to such "Zubkoffian" ventures as a quality motel and a high rise apartment building. Evidently h" does not know that I am against a motel and that the subject of a motel never got bc­yortd the discussion stage on the board well over a year ago. As a matter of fact. it was Phillips him­self who spread alarmist misinfor­mation about a motel at that time and he is still doing it. As for ~ high rise apartment building, the only proposal I <'ver heard for om' was made by Morrison bt'forp I was elected to the board, and no one on the board look it serious­ly. Evidently Phillips tlot'~ not know that I opposl' it and that thl' man hP support!i advocalt>d it for an t'idt'rly housing projl'cl\.

AGAINST SECTION 2b speculative ventures and favoritism Police Open House Robert O'Brien Appointed Greenbelt Chief of Police

City Manager James K. Giese announced this week the appoint­ment of Robert A. O'Brien as Greenbelt's chief of police. The position has been open since the resignation of Jim Williams al­most a year ago. Marshall Zoell­ner has been acting as temporary chief of pollee since November.

O'Brien's previous experience in police work has been with the United States Army.... After 23 years service, he retired last July as a Major with the rank of Lieu­tenant Colonel in the Reserves.

O'Brien was introduced to the city council at lust Monday's· meet­ing. In a brief statement, he said he was happy to be "part of this thriving community" and pledged "the best law-enforcement service" he was capable of. O'Brien pre­sently resides in Laurel and ex­pects to move to Greenbelt shortly. He is married and has three chil­dren, ranging in age from 6 to 18. O'Brien was born in Philadelphia and attended elementary and high schools there.

During his career in the Army O'Brien served as A.ssistant Police and Prison Officer, Fort Jackson, South Carolina; as Provost Mar­shal. Company Commander and Staff Officer in Japan and Korea; as Unit Commander and Staff Officer of the First Battalion, Mili­tary Police Training Regiment at Fort Gordon, Georgia; as Instruc­tor at the Military Police School at Fort Gordon, Georgia;; as Chief of Section and Instructor at In­telligence, Military Pollee and Special Weapons School In Europe; and as Deputy. Provost Marshal and Qhief, Military Police Opera­tions, at Fort Meade, Maryland.

Under his last position he was responsible for the formulation and implementation of plans and policy for the operation of a mili­tary police force of 250 officers and men, 12 female civilian clerks at Fort Meade, which has a popu­lation of approximately 40,000 mili­tary and civilian personnel. Since his retirement last July O'Brien served for approximately six months as an Assistant Program Officer with the Training Division of the International Association of Chiefs of Police in Washington. This was a temporary employment to assist In a special project of that association connected with the planning and activating of pollee training programs for foreign pollee officials in the United States.

During his years with the Army he took various courses from the University of Maryland and achiev­Pd a total of 80 semester hours of credit, which is equivalent to hav­Ing completed two years of college. In nndition, O'Jirien has attended num~rous SlWcfal tralt • .ing schools related to his work.

High Point High Points By Naomi Bal'on

, With the baseball season now well underway, the High Point Eagles have maintained tbeir outstanding record of sports achievement. Re­cent wins over Central <1-0) and Northwestern (4-3) have placed the team as number one in the Plrnce Georges County League.

Senior Jeff Orleans has received word that he Is the recipient of a National Merit Scholarship. He will use the award at Yale University. beginning next fall.

High Point winners of the Ro­tary Four Way Award '63 were Ina Nathanson and Stuart Starr, seniors. oBth were guests of the College Park Rotary Club at a dinner held at the University of Maryland on May 1st.

New cheerleaders for 1963-64 have recently been selected. Among the members of the ten girl squad are Greenbelters Jane Beale and Janet Shinderman.

This summer promises to be a very scientific one for a number of High Pointers. Accepted as parti­cipants in the Summer Science ing Program at the University of Maryland are o'I'ni Falbo, Stan Lip­shultz, Jeff Orleans, and Greenbelter Naomi Baron. Positions have been offered to Allan Hillerson, aBrry Springer, and Donald Bley through a similar program at American Uni­versity.

Three High Point seniors were included on a list drawn up by the Washington Academy of Sci­ences of forty outstanding young scientists in the Washington area. Those selected were Ravel Lutz, Robert Hornsteln, and Stuart Starr.

Plan More Art Shows An encouraging reaction to the

Greenbelt Arts and Crafts Guild's sponsoring of a one-man show by Lawrence Lewis has prompted the planning of several other such ac­tivities in the near future. Tentative arrangements have been made to hofd two more one-man shows, In addition to an exhibit of selected works by members of the Guild at large. The numerous responses to the group's "interested quesetlon­aire" give rcd'.ilon to believe that both the talent (both professional and semi-professional) and the pa­tron Interest available In the Green­belt area will enable the Guild to branch out into several areas of activity.

The current art exhibit will con­tinue in the Twin Pines offices until May 19. Supplementing the regular office hours (from 9 to 9 on wrrkdays, and 9 to 5 on Satur­day), the office will also be open for the next two Sundays between 4 and 7 p.m. Visitors have been encouragrd to cast a vote for thr painting they consider the brst, with present tabulation running strongly j;~ [:!_yor of an oil portrait, "Mar­garet".

To the Editor: with good housekeeping.

The Gill by-laws committee and Bill Phlllip11 on April 15, a resolution WU

passed by Greenbelt City Coancl1 authorizing Mayor Francis White to acclaim May Hi as Pollee Offi­cer's Memorial Day and the calen­dar week of each year during which May 111 occurs as Police' Week.

board of directors are to be com­mended for the quality of the job they have done in proposing amend­ments to the by-laws. Unfortun­ately, a portion of one section of the by-laws mara this generally excellent proposal.

I am referring to Section 2b which states: "No special meeting shall be held If the action request· ed would be lllagal or would In any way jeopardize the corpora­tion."

If Section 2b is approved, the board of directors could with Im­punity overrule the request of the president or the audit committee, or a petition of fifty members, that a special membership meeting be held. The board-or five of its nine members-could argue that the ac­tion requested would be "Illegal," which might be debatable, or that It would "jeopardize the corpora­tion," a vague and all-inclusive term. No recourse would be avail­able to the membership until the next annual meeting unless resort were had to the "courts.

If Section 2b is approved, we might expect to see a repetition of the ·board's performance In refus­Ing to honor a petition of 650 mem­bers that a special membership meeting be called to conSider the monthly payment charged by GDC for the space used by the News Re­view. It is even conceivable that the board would veto an audit committee request for a special meeting to deal with a matter it considered to be of the utmost Im­portance. In short, Section 22b should be rejected because It could be used to nullify the membership right to call a special meeting If at least 110 members so desire.

GHI CANDIDATES To the Editor:

I was glad to see the names of Doug Ward and Jim Fritz added to the list of Gill candidates. Both men have shown an Interest In Gill and the community, and as family men trained In business ad­ministration, I feel that their pri­mary Interest Is in a well-run hous­ing cooperative.

From my personal acquaintance with these men, I feel that they would add drive to the Board to study such subjects as personnel and their working conditions, effi­cient use of workers and materials, proper use of storage space, pro­fessional awarding of contracts, structural engineering and other matters that affect the living con­ditions of the members.

I feel !hat GHI needs the leadct­ship of dedicated men like Jim Fritz and Doug Ward to replace

ELDERLY HOUSING To the Editor:

In an atempt to avoid running for the board on their joint record, Messers. Lastner, Zubkoff, Schwan, Jorgensen and O'Reilly have sought to disassociate the . question of Elderly Housing from the present Gill Campaign. They have man­aged to convince a few partisans that this Issue Is "dead" and these Individuals, calling themselves corps commanders, court_ captains or some such thing, have been scurrying about Gill with the good word.

No amount of talk can make GHI members forget that the above men and others almost succeeded in cramming Elderly Housing down Gill's throat. No Intelligent· vo­ter can Ignore the record and for­get that Joe Compronl, AI Morrison and Bernie Bordenet fought an up­hill tight against elderly housing, as well as the equally silly motel, until the Gill members, given an opportunity to do so, fell In behind them and defeated It temporarily.

I say it was a temporary defeat because no issue can be dead while it is being vigorously pu,rsued. Those favoring hoYslng for the el­derly have been ·working more quietly and have ncit publicized their efforts, but the fact remains that so far this year the Gill Board has been approached on at least three different occasions by friends of the elderly who seek to pick up the ball and start the game all over again.

Housing for the Elderly Is not dead by a long shot, and the voter who believes that It Is just not fa­miliar with the record. Everyone of the "concerned members" slate, Lastner, Zubkoff, Jorgensen, Schwan and O'Reilly put forth their best efforts to support Elderly Housing In the past.

It Is folly to believe that they will not support It In the future, gi­ven the opportunity to do so.

Following military service, he served as secretary of the county political party which nominated him for the Missouri House of Rep­resentatives and upon election he introduced and guided to enactment legislation authorizing a bonus for \Vorld War I veterans.

As a businessman he owned and operated a hardware establishment. was an authorized Ford automobile dealer. and conducted retail sales of ban'krupt merchandi~e.

Since hi8 retirement from the Veterans Administration he broke his right hip and spent eight months in Bethesda Naval and Mount Alto hospitals (still going strong). This experience does not mean much to the membership but It is what he can do for the membership which counts-see platform.

Connict of Interest Issue To tht• Editor: 0

Twu yt·ars ago. at a GHI annual me.·ting. I ddPnd<·d Joe Comproni against an implied accusation that he'd be in a confict of interest if elected to the GHI board because of his Credit Union position. I defen­ded him because I believe that democracy is a hard enough pr~­cess to make work without personal smears to heat up the atmosphere. But I've had cause to wonder If I did right in Compronl's case.

Four weeks ago, CQmpronl and B. J. Bordenet (who ought to know better and of whom I thought bet· ter) 'wrote a letter to the editor at­tacking Frank Lastner for being unwllling to vote for "a bylaw which was proposed which would require each am director to dis­close anything which would con, flict with his duties and obligations as a GHI director," to quote Com­proni and Bordenet. "Now why should Frank Lastner have to con­sult his lawyer before he could vote on such a proposal?" these two chara'cters craftily asked. They didn't state what was In the pro­posed by-law.· They didn't state that Bordenet had proposed a by­law draft which was so extreme that it would have barred any GHI di­rector from serving as a director of GDC--the apartment corporation which GHI owns! Comproni, ac­cording to the GHI Board minutes (April 11, p. 11) asked if this Bor­denet proposal would "mean that no GHI directors would be 011 the GDC Board? Mr. Bordenet 'said he would certainly reduce them to a bare majority," to quote the minutes. So. Bordenet seemed to think that a GHI direc.tor would not have a conflict of interest if he were one of five directors but would have a conflict if he were one of six or seven. ·

To continue to quote from the minutes (p. 12): "Mr. Bordenet de­fined conflict of Interest as an implication that one's judgment, voting or actions will be influenced by· his other activities; and said it would be a very simple matter to set up some general rules and reg­ulations all at one time." We in Greenbelt have manv interrelated and sometimes dive.rgent organi­zations and interests. It Isn't so simple to set up sensible conflict· of-Interest rules.

Mr. Helm moved and Mr. Com­pronl seconded the motion to pro· pose as a by-law the language you will find at the foot of page 10 of the proposed new -by-laws you re· celved In the mall. It Is labeled .. Section 8 • Conflict of Interest," <~nd In my view should be amend.,d drastically or defeated.

This Helm-('_ontpronl proposal, wbich 'ft!ls passed with Cherry op­posed and La8tner abstaining. would go far beyond the needs of ascertaining whether a GHI direc­tor has a true conflict of Interest. Tt doesn't mel't'ly require him to report If he owns an Interest In a business which sells goods or ser­vices to GHI or buys anything from GHI. It would require every JWrson who Is active In publle llf<·. or in n churrh group that ownR a GIIJ home for use of n minister or nun, or in :1ny or Sf'Vt'rRl othPr f'H­

padtir~. to rlPclnrP that lw I~ in a so-cniiPrl ronflld of intPrPst.

him from Gill.

Any otht·r din·ctor who is 1n

public life -- a city councilman. for instanc<· or any officer of a credit union in which GHI might deposit money, or any church trustee, etc., would have to file a statement. Comproni wants GHI to deposit funds in the Credit Union - and I think It should deposit some money, provided the amount is not too great. But If Compronl's actions in the Credit Union might contribute to a cut In dividends on deposits, or If he supports such a cut, he'd be act­ing against GHI under the terms of his catch-all language. His op· position to letting Twin Pines and GCS use the center sales office space after the GCS fire, when Twin Pines let GCS put the drug store In Twin Pines space, might have fallen within this language.

So when Comproni and Borde· net attacked Lastner for wanting to study the Implications of the Helm-Comproni motion with the aid of a lawyer before voting on It, they should have stated what the motion was. They should have re­vealed that it wasn't a simple con­flict-of-interest motion to bring to light an unknown personal in­terest by a director in a sale to GHI or purchase from GHI. It was a proposal more fit to be used on Congressmen who vote on all sorts of matters affecting many in­terests. The Comproni-Bordenet letter, then, was a smear.

The Helm-Comproni motion -­if passed--would tend to drive from GHI's service any prudent man in public life or in Greenbelt com­munity activities. Do we want to do this? I think Frank Last­ncr is a decent man (and I didn't support his slate in Democratic primaries last spring). I think Lastner has served us as well In his years as GHI director, Greenbelt

G!U':ENBELT :\'EWS IU.":VIEW

maydr, and county com1aissioncr as ill' knew how. I think that hav­ing Lastner at GHI board meetings. when the pressure of other duties permit him to attend, is valuable to us GHI members. More valu­able than some board members who have neither his broad knowledge of affairs nor his personal quali· ficatlons.

I think the proposed by-law re· vision at the bottom of page 10 of your revision sheets should be amended to limit the "Interest or connection, pecuniary or other· wise," to "significant pecuniary_ In· terest In a commercial enterprise which buys from or sell~ goods or service to this corporat!f)t\." The rest of the catch-all verbiage should be deleted.

I do not condemn the maladroit persons who drafted the Helm· Compronl motion. Anyone can make an error, eveh a lawyer. wonder about anyone who would put his signature to a letter at· tacking others for refusinG' to go along with an error of this magni­tude.

WORKING TOGETHER To the Editor:

It seems to me that the Comproni, Morrison bloc have blinded them­selves to the serious and real "con­cern" many GHI members share for the future of GHI although the bloc professes to serve the will of all the membership. Do they not wonder that the leaders of and members of divergent political groups because of their great con­cern have decided to work together to protect themselves against those whose policies they firmly believe could eventually endanger the life savings they and other members have In their own homes? And sure· ly no one else besides the bloc

qm•slions tlw absolute right of Mr. Lastner, Democrat; M,r. Champion, J{epublican; Mr. Simon Pristoop In· dependent Democrat to work aa hard as they can to protect their own homes from "what's In It for me" policies. even to the extreme of forming a ticket In self defe!IIIC.

It is my fervent hope that the members of am will share our con· cern In the coming election. At least all 660 who aigfi4!d the Nen Review petition (rejected by the bloc) ahouid, and those who can see beyond tomorrow will, and tholM! who want the board of di­rectors to start functioning again will, Ill! will those who want the corporation to renew and continue the solid policies that hullt om into the fine, strong organization nobody can deny It is.

MODEL COMMUNITY To the Editor:

It Is unfortunate that we, 88

citizens of a model community, during this GHI Election Cam· paign, are not acting as model clti· zens. How are we to set lofty goals for our children If we don't exhibit the fine qualities which we would want them to have were they running for oftlce.

SAFE INVESTMENT To the Editor:

Gm members, in consider~ng ,the bylaw amendments proposed for adoption at the annual meeting, may want to consider wether GHI Investment in local lending 1118tl­tutlona should be limited to $10,000.

The Twin Pinea Savings &: Loan AMoclatlon waa organiZed prlularily by om memben 88 the beat meana. under exiltlng laws. of reftnancinC om equities. In fact; the Mary­leglalature, at Twin Pines' requeat. baa specifteally authorized atate­cbartered a.uoclationa to make loaDII secured by memben' equltl~ in cooperative housing, 10methlq not provided for in the Federal law. However, loans for thlll purpole are not generally available hecauae oth­er lending Institutions are not fa­miliar with our unique form of home ownership.

The sum of $10,000 Is only a tokeu amount In comparison with the amount needed for thla purpoiiC!. om tt.lelf at preseDt hu IIOJIIe

$130,000 Invested in GHI equ!U. and Twin Pines over $1100,000, the latter amount representing Individ­ual aavlnp deposits.

What better way .Is there for Glfi to Invest its reserves and surplus fund& than in a local association formed for the purpose of financing equities in am houses? Experi­ence shows that such investment Is safe and serves to undergird and stabilize the market for am houses.

I Paid Political Advertisement

by Harry ZubkO/J

During the past few weeks, I have been asked several variations of one fundamental question: What l'Clilly di­vides the GHI board? What, are the bllJiic ·differences? What is it really all about?

I will ~>itempt to explain the situation as I see it .. .. ·

The split on the board which took place during the past year brought to light two thingil--a fund!!mental difference in philosophy in directing the affairs of the cor­poration, and a fundamental difference in tactics.

Philosophy

This corporation has achieved a national reputation for the soundness of Its structure, the efficiency of its oper­ations, the stabiliW of its organization, the integrity of its finances. This proud record of accomplishment happened because over the years the membership has elected boards which have consistently displayed a philosophy of cautious conservatism, knowing that at stake were the homes and the savings of the members themselves. There were, perhaps, times or occasions where they could have done bettl'r, but there were also times when they could have done much, much worse. The net result of their efforts, however, is that today we an• in a good, sound, strong poaition.

Of course, there is always room for improvcmt~nt, and cf'rtain studies are underway for this purpose. But impnlvf'­ments should he madP only after careful study and due con­sid<•ration of all lht• inlerrelaiPd fadors involvt•ci. Wt• can­not afford to make annp judgm!'!nts wlwn the Hecurity of our homes is at stake. We must not. risk our long term security for any short term or short sighted gain. We must not substitute a willingness to gamble for our traditional cau­tion. And we must not lose sight of our fundilm!'ntal principles as a housing cooperative, organized t.o aehif'VI' a common objective. This objective of economical housing with financial stability is now a reality, and we want to keep it that. way.

This is why I havt• advocated a strong reRCrve lllrur­lun• as an integral part of our financial stability. And t hiR iR why I h~tv•• n•RiRfed hnst ily t•on<'Pived and l"~'rlY plamwd IWIH'liH'R for n•funds and n•dut'l ion>~ in monthly rhargPA. Such R!'h<·nws HPenu•d to mf' to hP dPHignPd for onlv orlP purpoRt', lo nttrael voiPR; hut I do nol lu·lievP lh•• nu•mht•rR an• so thoughll<'flH as In lu• takPn in h,· lmch pbvimm nwnl'll\'(•rH. ThoR('- who would ''milk tlu· cn·:un"

ofT fllf' top of <>tlr· tlnanrial Hlahilily would. in my opinion,

endanger our strength, and the results would be immedi­ately apparent this year or next year. It could lead to an extremely difficult situation and I do _uot . .baliave· · our presant memberahip want. to rillk that, no matter hOW desirable it might be to get a few dollars back now - and it would be only a very few dollars.

Tactics The difference between the two aides of the board has

become frightening, and in my opinion, the behavior of Comproni, Helm, Morrison and Cherry hu been appalling. From the start of the board year they have displayed an attitude of hostility and belligerence which has made the climate at the meetings exceedingly difficult In which to work. They have attacked with 'RD unimaginable ferocity and vindictiveness those who have disagreed with them and those with whom they disagreed. They have sown the seeds of suspicion and distrust and, by innuendo and distortion, have savagely impugned the motives and char­acters of those who opposed them. With a seemingly cal­lous disregard for its ultimate effect upon the morale of the membership or the staff, they have pursued contro· versy to the point where reason and accommodation could no longer prevail. While piously proclaiming their concern for the well-being of the corporation, they have sought desperately to discredit their opponents and to degrade their predecessors. They have spent countless hours haggl­ing over trivia, thus subtracting from the time which could be spent on the important and constmctive matters. Far from fighting for issues, they have fought against person­alities. While expecting their rights and courtesies as a minority group, they have refused to extend similar rights and courtesies when they were themselves in the majority, as they were on occasion.

In short, their obstructionism and destructiveness have resulted in a largely wasted and u~~eleu year for the board, and while we arc strong enough to survive one such year, this situation cannot be allowed to continue.

C ot~clu.'lion The conflict goes del'per than a simple division over cer­

tain istmes, and det>per even than a clash of Jl<mmnalilies. Tht• nalllrP of this conflict is basic and tht• oukome will Rhape the vf'ry nature of this corporation for the fu­t url'. If t.he rnPmbt'rH want to preserve thf' st.n•ngth and inlegrily of thiR Corporation. thPn I urge I ht•rn, as em­phalicall~· as T ran. In volt• for t!H• "Common St•rtHI' Tick­"!., Tlw "itnation is critical. -

I'm baffled by the attitude of the younger generation toward money. I certainly understood the value of money when I was a child -the value of money was that it could buy things. The minute I got my allowance I sprinted down to the ndghborhood candy store, and what with horror comics and jaw­breakers and celluloid dolls and all the other delights of that juvenile paradise. I was soon flat broke. And I remained destitute for the rest of the week. In this way I soon learned the two vital facts about money: It's heavenly to spend it, but miserable to be broke.

returning to Greenbelt, a water· ------------­

Nor is my child unique. My neighbor Mrs. Greenbelt had a similar problem when her daugh­ter was younger. I rementbe'r her confiding to me, ''I've had to put my foot down. I don't mind if &he does occasional little jobs to earn money, but I simply don't think it's right for her to be sell­ing her clothing door-to-door." Mrs. Greenbelt and I both realized that something must be wrong with our miserly children, but what could we do?

"Spend, spend!" I urge my first­grader. "You're only young once. Live a little!"

He looks at me dilldalnfully, he ~bakes his head, and theq for the millionth time he explains, "But Mother, you don't understand.' I haven't got any duplicate money."

Actually, the trouble is that I don't want to understand. I am unable to cope with the concept of "duplicate money."

I suppose I should explain that In an evil hour my son decided to be­come a coin collector. And he has gotten the two categories of ''money" and "coins that one col­lects" so totally confused by now that I fear he can never be straightened out. Wh<lt's worse, he has begun to infect the rest of

An ordinary dime, mind you- FDR on one side and a torch of liberty on the other. Later in the day he may commf'nt casually, "That dime you just gave me-- it's worth $6.35." He sauntf'rs away as I clutch my head thinking, "Why am I gtvmg a seven-year-old kid an allowance of $6.35? And why am I handing out six bucks and change as though It was only a dime?' have to remind mys<'lf very firm­ly lhat it WIUI only a dim<'.

to resist taking a peek into the coin catalogue. "But Gabriel!" I protest. "It's true that dimes of that year are worth $6.35 if they're in Brilliant Uncirculated Condi­tion. But in Fair Condition the catalogqe says they're just worth ten cents."

It doesn't do a bit of good. With scouring powder, steel wool, erasers, elbow grease, and unlimited time at his disposal, he can make any coin dazzlingly brilliant. As for the "Uncirculated" bit, Mr. Numis­matist considers it a mere formali­ty. "Let's forget that part," he says grandly.

My husband reminds me that he's just o. child and I'm foolish to let his little ~bby upset me. But once a coin - no trtatter how com­monplace, dirty, worn, o.nd illegible -passes from my purse into Ga­briel's collection, it is immediately transported into the realm of the Brilliant Uncirculated and its value is stupendously inflated.

All his friends arc coin collec­tors, too, and the trading and sw .. pping that take place ;... our back yard make the New York Stock Exchange pale into insigni­ficance. "Who'll trade a '47 dime for a '32 penny and n Canadian nickel?" I hear them chant as I wash the dishes. As a result of this, all my son's coins arc unique and he hasn't a cent to his name in duplicate money.

I snid he'd saved $30, but' that's only what appears to the naked eye. According to him, he's worth thousands. As for !lpl'ndiJl1t any or his loot, don't be ridiculous. Af­ter all, every day he hangs on to It It's worth a little more.

8HI Board in Rare Unanimous Vote Commends ;fhlntenance Service

by Claude Wimberley

In a unanimity rarely achieved at any GHI board session over the past two years, the directors wholeheartedly endorsed a pro­posal to commend the manager and his maintenance force for an outstanding record of performance. Only last week a maintenace committee report submitted by Director Joe Cherry criticized the handling of maintenance.

Since the board inaugurated use of a new-type card system of re­porting in January, reports back to the manager have shown an over­whelming number of members to be pleased with requested mainten­ance service, according to GHI Manager Roy Breashears.

The cards, on which the persons requesting maintenance are asked to enter their degree of satisfac­tion - from l to 7 - enable them to rate such things as promptness in answering the call, performance, attitude of the workmen. Manager Breashears observed that 57 per­cent of the cards mailed out dur­ing the report period were return­ed. Results, he said, were "over­whelmingly favorable," and Indica­ted great satisfaction among the membership with GHI mainten­ance and service.

Board President Harry Zubkoff termed It "a remarkably good rec­ord." Director Ed Burgoon said It was "an almost unheard-of record In maintenance," particularly so for GHI. He promptly moved that the board commend the manager and maintenance staff for "superior per­forman~"!!." an<f 'recommended the commendation be duly placed In personnel records of both the man­ager and maintenance staff.

Two men in particular were sing­led out for "exedlcnce" in all re­porting categories. They are: Mr. Conway, a plumber and Mr. Han­sen, carpenter. Both men received exceptionally complimentary reports on tlwir worlr.

Din'dOI' ll<'lm voiced a drgrPP of sl<epticism about the whole bus­inPss. llc mlirl thP rPport was nlto­g-et.lwr too favorablr'. "I'd say til!' rrport wns phrnnmenal, pPrhaps in­<~rt·dihlt•,'' hl' .said.

Mayor White Announces Closed Sessions on Budget (Ed. Note: Mnyor Fran<'is White has i•sned the following statement <'one~rning the city council's con­s!derntion of the 1963-64 city bud­get.)

"At the last council meeting the City Manager submitted the bud­get for the 1963/64 fiscal year. The budge( consists of 77 pages of facts and figures. There are approxi­mately 400 different Items budgeted in the document, each of which must be carefully considered by the City Council.

"The City Charter requires that the new budget must be adopted and taxes levied by the City Conn­

, cil on or before June 10, 1963. The Council Is faced, therefore, with the task of considering fully all the items of the budget In less than a month's time-as well as consider­ing the various other matters of city business which are pending.

"In order to expedite budget considerations, this Council - as well as previous Councils -;- has scheduled -~~ series of executive' meetings for the review of the bud­get. At these meetings the Council will review thoroughly the budget items with the City Manager, the City Treasurer, and the various department heads. Although these meetings arc not open to the gen­eral public, n reporter from the N<•ws lt<wil'w is invited to attend so that tlw papl'r cnn obtain back­ground information ncedPd for its articles on tlw budget.

Proposed City Budget Will Provide More Services, lo Tax Increase

by AI Skolnik

A 1963-64 city budget calling for expanded services while m~in­taining the current tax rate of $1.50 per $100 assessed ~uatJon was submitted to city council on Wednesday, May 8, by ctty man­ager James K. Giese. A public hearing on the budget has been set for Monday, June 3. The budget must be adopted by June 10.

The major factor inti uencing next year's budget, Giese said, will be the growth and development of the city. It Is anticipated that the as­sessable tax base will increase from $11,918,770 as of June 30, 1963, to $15,420,000 as of June 30, 1964. New construction expected during the year includes 474 Spring­hill Lake units, at least 35 homes in Lakecrest Subdivision, and an­other ~9 homes in Boxwood Subdi­VISIOn. Also, Klein's Department Store will be completed.

New Services Needed At the same time, Giese declar­

ed, the city must provide services to the new developments and must make certain that this growth will be orderly and planned so that pro· blems resulting from this develop­ment are kept to a minimum.

To provide these additional ser­vices required by a growing Green­belt, the manager's budget calls for increased exp.enditures of $83,-459 over the 1962-63 fiscal year ap­propriation of $330,691, an increase of 25.2 percent.

A major factor in this increase is the addition of 8 full-time and 8 part-time employees. The full­time additions include 2 police of· fleers, 2 public works laborers, 2 gar~age collectors, a combined pur­chasing agent-administrative aide, and an inspecting engineer. The garbage collectors and Inspecting engineer are to be financed through special fees levied on persons re­ceiving the services.

part of the swimming pool budget - perhaps $6,000 - will be used to pay off the expense of the major reconstruction work to be done on the pool next winter.

No separate expenditure budget for capital improvements Is in­cluded, but allowance for capital outlays Is provided. The budget, for example, includes $1,000 for the paving of pathways and other areas in the city parks, $!,500 f(Jr the purchase of new playground equipment, $1,535 for er.ectlon of lights along the pathway between the tennis courts and Crescent rd., and $2,500 for curb and fP!tter con­struction.

Unexpected Surplus To offset the increased expendi­

tures, the budget estimates that revenues from sources other than real estate taxes will total $185,870. With the present tax rate applied to the new tax base, real estate taxes are expected to total $20!1,· 038, compared with $165,!11!2 last year. To balance the $414,150 ·bud­get, Giese anticipates . that there will be a surplus of $23,242 available from 1962·63 operations.

The surplus developed mainly out of the fact that the real estate tax base developed some $19,000 more Income than expected In 1962-63, due to an underestimation of the assessable tax base. 'I 'here was also a greater yield from the State· shared taxes - primarily Income taxes - but this was offset by In· come below expectations f.~m the operation of the Youth Center and the bus service.

The additional part-time employ­ees proposed Include a janitor for the new municipal building a The bus service Is expected to draftsman, and recreation ~!at- operate at a deficit of $7,100 In IJ.nU\. Jncludln& awJmmiow pool at- . .u&3~co1JW8.red wJtll.,.a.J\lldgl!tted. tendant, assistant arts and crafts deficit of $3,820 in 1962-63. instructor, drama instru.ctor, and Council Salary Increase summer playground lenders. Among the items of interest in-

All told, expenditures for salaries and wages will total $235,500, in­cluding $8,540 set aside in reserves for adjustments in salaries as pro­posed by the Personnel Board. Last year's salary totals were about $190,000.

Convprsion of Tax Year Another itcni contributing toward

increased expenditures is $15.000 set asidP as a Heserve for Conversion of the Tax Y car. Giese pointed out that tlw Maryland General Assem­bly PnactPd into law a bill Pstab­lishing uniform fiscal dates. This rrquirf'.s th:tt tnxrs bt1 !Pvif'd on

thf' bnsi.s of n tax yP:n·, b<"ginning .July 1, 1963. PrP"''ntly, the city'" tax yc:tr is tlw ca!Pndar yt~ar.
