Swimming Pool Readied For Opening on May 30
The Greenbelt swimming pool will open on Memorial Day. Residents have already received application forms for season subscriptions, and approximately 100 have been sold to date. Many of them were bought by out-of-town families. A limited number of nonresident subscriptions are avail· able to families recommended by Greenbelt residents. Season passes may be obtained at the City Treasurer's office from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
The pool operated at a profit last year, and city officials are hopeful that a much-needed program of improvements can be financed from future pool revenues. The Department of Public Works has spent th<' last two weeks repairing and painting the pool facilities. A more basic program has bern authorized by the City Council, howeVPr. A primary study of the costs involved will be undertaken by the firm of Grpenhornc and O'M;na.
The seope of tht> reconstruction program has not yet been decided. Among the proposals th11t have bern made are the following:
1. ltN'onstruC'Uon of tho pool it~'lf: The pool was built 25 years ago, nnd the concrete was of mediocre . quality. ~Jxposure to tlw elenwnts, and corrosion by cllf'micnl~ in tlw watrr, have• wrnkHlPrl llu• concrt>te to such an t•x

At the annual GHI meeting on Wednesday night attended by well over 200 members, who held more than 100 additional proxy ballots, the members voted with less than 10 nays to approve the News Review resolution calling for the GID board of directors to reaffirm Its long-standing policy of favoring rent-free basement quarters for the paper, with the News Review reimbursing the corporation for out-ofpocket expenses ..
The same majority earlier passed a motion by News Review board president AI Skolnik to move up the item from the end of the agenda to the first item of new business. In the original agenda the News Review matter was placed after a resolution submitted by Director Bernard Bordenet which would have set a policy insulating GDC (which operates the apartments for GHD from interference by the GHI board or the membership in order to protect GDC's legal status. A quorum call later ended the m~g before the Bordenet proposal could be taken up.
Amberg Dominates
The major part of the meeting on the proposed revisions of the Gm by-laws was chaired by Charles Schwan, chairman of the by-laws committee. The discussion that followed was dominated by Mat Amberg, who a few weeks ago resigned from the by"lawa committee In pro• · test over some of the changes the board insisted in making to the by-law changes recommended by the committee.
Amberg led a highly successful floor fight to kill all ,(he board changes which he felt were detrimental to the Corporation. This included winning membership apllroval to retain the requirement that nnyonc desiring to run for GHI office who is not selected by the GHI nominntions committee mu"t submit a petition signed by at least 10 members. The proposed revrswn would have cleminated the need for 10 signatures.
Amberg also won approval by tlw narrow margin of 75-72 for retaining tlw right of a rejected applicant for memb<'rship to appeal beyond th<' board to the members, arguing that a member rould bt> gr<'atly inconv<'nienceci by selling his housp to H non-mcmbPr who might tlwn have his m<'mbershlp application tunwd down. Amberg also obtnineri a majority vote permitting votinr: by mail in rlectionR or rpfrnndums, which lw said hf'

Council Debates Mayor's Decisior To Hold Closed Budget Sessions
By l'lary Loubie WllliamMn A challenge to council's decision to exclude the public front
preliminary budget sessions resulted in a lengthy and aometill15 heated debate at the regular meeting of the city council last Mon· day evening.
Initial Budget Cuts Proposed
by AI Skolnik
Tentative cuts of $9,100 were made by city council last week in the first of a series of reviews of departmental budgets for 1963-M. The cuts were made in public works and related activities. Tonight the council will review the police department budget.
A cut of $2,500 was made in the $6,900 recommended by Manager James Giese for maintaining and providing additional parking facilities. At issue was the extent to which the city should service and maintain Greenbelt Homes, Inc. courts. The manager had submitted a program calling for $4,000 to be spent to single seal 16,000 square yards of GHI parking area. On Councilman Ben Goldfaden's suggestion, this amount was reduced to $2.500 to equal the amount received by the city from the State for maintenance of roads in the courts. (It is estimated that of the 14 miles of roadway In Greenbelt that receive State-shared funds under the Sherbow Act, about 3 miles are in the courts.)
Another item of $1,000 to provide addltionat' parking spaces in the GID courts was deleted entirely. Mayor F'rancis White pointed out that the council Is awaiting a decision from the solicitor as to the relationship of city to GID with respect to providing parking facilities. In any event, White and Gold· faden stressed that, as In the past, any urgent needs could be handled on an individual basis with money
· !tpproprtated · from mlscellaiteous funds.
A 'major cut ~ ·l3,400 - was the elimination of one of the two additional public works laborers requested by the city manager to provide street, park, and playground maintenance. All the councilmen but Dave Champion approved this cut.
The remaining cuts consisted of $1,150 in material nnd supplies and equipment replacement funds; $1,500 in curb and gutter construction work; and $500 fo~ rental of street sweeper.
On<' budget item was increased. An nllownnce of $8,250 for engineering and inspection was increased by $250, pending a report from thl' mnnagpr as to the possibility of retaining an engineer nt that salary.
its in <'ithrr account (since they n re not insured by the Federal Govprnmentl while Grorge Reeves in a emmtf'rmove 9ought to ('fiminate tlw rc"trlction of $10,000 on such do>posits. The members dt>fc'atl'd both proposals nnd approved thl' $10,000 amount, which AI Skolnik arg-w•d woulcl givt• somP Hmitf'ff ns~istntWI' to our local financial institutions.

Harvey Geller, 117 Northwaf, askeli council to reconsider it. stand. He said he would serioual1 question whether closed seuioDif are necessary. They could, he al· leged, be "detrimental to good gov· emment," and added that New'i Review coverage could not satisfi in detail all the special interest. of individual citizens. Furthermore, council could suffer from the !01111 of advice and comments from some of Greenbelt's tiscally astute cit!· zen&. Geller did note the problemof time and WaS amenable to eOUn· ell's limiting participation by cit· !~ens. ··
Allen Douglas, 8 Fayette. In supporting Geller's request, noted the desirability of observing the pOIII• tions taken by Individual councilmen during budget discUBSions, particularly In view of the coming fall election of a new counciL
Champion Opposed~ Councilman Dave Champ ·
that he had Intended to bring a similar request for open budget meetings. Champion said he had no prior knowledge of the announcement of closed -budget seulons In last week's News Review by Mayor Francis White. He also noted that In the last council on which he sat, open meetings were held at which citizens were given a short period to ask questions or make comments, and that during actual dlsenuion by council the citizens did not participate. Thus connell was able to make elflclent use o! a vallable time and yet C'itizens could at lealt observe the actions -of ln.dlvldnal councilmen. He asked that at least the consideration of the recreation department be open to members of the Recreation Advisory Board. •
\Councilman Ben Goldfaden objected to giving this privilege to some ivblle mrtrlctln&"·-otbers: Mayor White, however, agreed that In· viting special groups could be advantageous to council, though he would still restrict unlimited attendance. White emphasized the short time allotted to council's consideration of the budget and thus the necessity for making the best possible usc of its . time.
Councilman Goldfadcn commented on the enormous difficulties which could arise if large numbers of people were to attend particularly if they arrived and left at different times, saying that just the noise factor of people wnlking up and down the stairs coold be considet'llble. He added that previous councils on which he had sat had held executive budget sessions, so this was not a new procedure.
Pilski noted that a majority of council wished to have closed meetings (all except Champion) and that no special motion was thus required.
Mayor White appointed COJmcilman Pilski to replace former Councilman Tom Canning on the AdviRory Planning Bonrd. He will serve ns nn o'x-officlo non-voting member of the Planning Bonrd.

The Tug-of-War Ends Last Thursday ended the most turbulent year in the history
of Greenbelt Homes, Inc., since its first year a decade ago. For 12 months the GHI board of directors was constantly rent with clashes over almost ever\' item of business brought before it. The GDC board, which nor~ally holds brief, infrequent meetings on tl1e smooth-running apartment operation, spent much time on the "vital" issue of whether the Netcs Rel'iew should pay rent for its quarters in the basement of one of the GDC apartments.
All of this is now in the past as a result of the election of all five members of the "Common Sense" ticket to the board. This group openly allied to two of the incumbent board members; now holds a solid majority. This will end for at least a year an almost even split on the board which turned every issue into a con· fused and bitter tug-of-war. Viewed in the most charitable light, the "slate", which had ridden to victory a year ago on the elderly honsin~ issue. might have fe-lt it had a mandate to make major chan;Ps in thP pnlicil's and opPrations of GHI. However, the 2-1 \·ot.' ng:1inst it hns now c]p~rl~· rpjectPrl that idea.
Fin;cl!1·. the Srws Rr,·inc is grateful to all those who came to its :1 irl in .such ;\n o\·p:whelming manner. We consider the vote n:; the Vc;rs JZITir·:c resolution at t'H' nnn11~l mPcting to lw an cxnression of confidence in the newspaper. and strong support for r":" belief in thP independence of the press. We shall continue to l" t'le spokesman for the entire community, to the best of our abili' ~:: and to uphold the right of the citizen to be as fully informed as possible.

''YELLOW PAGES ADVERTISING KEEPS MY VOLUME OF BUSINESS HIGH" In 1950 Mr. Hearn was manager of the Johns-Manville Sales Corporation branch in Washington. Then he bought out the branch and renamed it "The Hearn Insulation and Improvement Company."
He's been busy ever since.
"Last year our 10 salesmen and 15 to 25 specialists were kept busy with various types of improvement and insulation jobs on over 2000 homes," he reports happily. ~
"Advertising is vital to my business. I depend on two media and one is the Yellow Pages. In my opinion, it's the one medium which is always available to the homeowner when he is ready to do something about home improvement projects he's been thinking about."
Yellow Pages advertising can help your volume of business, too. Many advertisers report that the Yellow Pages brings them several sales every day.

Council Tentatively Okays Higher Police, Rec Budgets
by AI Skolnik Heeding the pleas of newly-ap
pointed police chief Robert A. O'Brien for additional personnel, the council last week tentatively approved the $61,600 police depart· ment budget in toto. Included was some $9,200 more in salaries than budgeted last year to pay for two additional full-time pollee officers and for adjustments in salaries of present officers. .
'lbe Council will hold a public hearing on the budget ()n Monday, June 3, at 8 p.m. in the Youth Center with final passage slated for Thursday, June 6, at a special council meeting.
O'Brien said that according to national standards for cities the size of Greenbelt, the police department should have at least 12 officers. At present the force has 6 (the addition will make 8). He pointed out that with new develop,._ ment especially at Beltway Plaza, the burden on the police depart· ment will be increased sharply.
With the new personnel, the department will now have 5 men on duty every. day of the week, ex· cept for the 12 midnight to 8 a.m. shiR Then there will be two men up to 2 a.m. and 1 thereafter. This arrangement ·'Jill permit more prompt replies to calls, O'Brien said.
The council also approved the request of Treasurer Mabel Kand· ler for additional finance department personnel. It added one full-time accounts clerk above the budget recommended by the manager, thus increasing the budgeted figure for the department by $3,300.
The council lopped $2,400 off budget for the municipal bus, thus reduc(ng the estimated de11cit to $4,700 for the fiscal year 1963-M. Last year's deficit was about $4,4110. The reductions tok place primarily In the replacement fund.
Mayor Francis White commented that the decision to bqld clllled tludget BeUion~ \V\ls ma'de by 'the city council (with one member absent> and was not made solely by him, as indicated In last week's News Revi!'W.

A swimming pool budget of $19,· 000 was approved as recommended. This program is self-supporting and wlll not affect the tax rate.
The tennis and archery programs' costing $1,00o were substituted for the proposed $1,700 summer play· ground program at the schools. Councilman Ben Goldfadt;n point· ed out that past experience has shown that such playground programs were poorly attended. Furthermor.e, there would be a duplication of services since the arts and crafts progJ"am would be operating at the Youth Center durIng the summer months. The Council generally agreed that specialized activities would be more appealing to youngsters.
The $120Ct budgeted- for Ji&n.;ome ilelp and cashier was entirely cut, though the council felt that If a real need should arise for addl· tiona! help, funds could be made available from the mlscellaneoUII account. The amount allocated for playground equipment was reduced from $2ISOO to $1000. Manapr Giese expressed tbe hope that in the near future playground equipment not now being used and city playgrounds on private property would be relocated. other reduct!-~ $1400 in Park Jlalnten..: ance and $500 for the Labor Day Festival.

A capital outlay Item of $1,ll3li was approved for· construction ot approximately 10 lights for a path· way from the tennis courts to Crescent road.
'lbe budget anticipates that revenue from recreational activities (excluding the swimming pool) will amount to $4,8415, an Increase of $1,270 over last year.
The council concluded Its review of the budget by examining the reserve funds. It reduced the manager's request for a contingency l'<'servc of $10,000 to $5000. It decided to allocate $5,000 for capital improvements from the $111,000 set nsidc as reserve for conversion of tax year. The specific caPital improvements items will be decided upon at a later date. Finally, the council agreed to earmark an amount yet to be determine<\, for salary adjustments in the coming year.
