be erected on such sites as are located
along the tracks.
The plots Of land to be rezoned are
a short distance from the pike at Hal
pine, and the commissioners pointed
out that the location of industries there
would not detract from the development
Of this roadway as one Of the beautiful
arteries into and out of the Capital
City.
The rezoning was strenuously fought
In the public hearings by residents, par
ticularly owners OF estates, along the
Rockville pike, who sought to preserve
that artery for residential purposes. In
refusing to rezonc the land fronting
ON the pike for the airport, the COM
m~issioners have in effect approved the
plea Of the residents that the pike itself
be kept free from commercial develop
ment.
Board Disapproved All.
The Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission disapproved
all three of the petitions for rezoning,
which sent them to the Board of APP
peals. 1t was pointed out that the
metropolitan district line runs about
800 feet back of the pike at the airport
and that such buildings can be built
outside of this line.
In connectlon WIN the reZOnlng OF
the land at Halpine proper, Commits
sioner Lacy Shaw, vice president of the
board, said that he was in favor of
stopping the industrial development at
that point. Mr.. Shaw said that as the
railroad nears Rockville it gets closer
to the pike, and that any rezoning
further north and nearer Rockville
would be plainly visible from the high
way and might detract from its appear
ance. At the same time, he explained

OIL STORAGE PLANT
DENIED APPROVAL
Arlington Zoning Body Puts
Permit Question Up to
Supervisors.
BY LESTER N. X
STAR Correspondent Of The Star.

ARLINGTON, Va, September a.
! Meeting last night in executive session,
the Arlington County zoning Commits
sion failed to approve the application
! of the Sun Oil Co. Of Philadelphia for
a permit to erect a large oil storage
plant on the Lee Highway in Rosslyn,
thereby putting up to the board OF
county supervisors the final decision. p
Following the meeting it was an
nounced that It was necessary for Fred
A. Gosnell, the chairman, to s q
vote. since the other four members were
divided equally on the question. Cos
nell's vote gave o majority in favor OF
barring the plant from the proposed
location, but the two minority members
stated that they will file a report with
the board Of supervisors.
Another Hearing Unlikely.
Since the members Of the county gov
erning body sat jointly with the Zon-
ing commission last Friday night, when
a hearing was held on the application,
1t is believed that they will be able to
make a decision without reSorting to
another hearing.
The coming commission, while an off,
cial body, acts more in an advisory
capacity in matters of this kind, 1t was
explained, but the supervisors are, and
have always been, inclined to base nnal
action upon decisions Of the coming
body. In this case, however, opponents
to the oil company are uncertain as to
the action Of the supervisors. since they
have always been in favor Of industrial
development.
In rendering their decision, the COM
mission stressed the fact that 1t would
welcome the presence Of the plant In
any part Of the county that has been
tentatively zoned heavy industrial or In
hat section where q great many Of the
other oil companies are now located.
The proposed site, however, had been
tentatively xoned light commercial"
and since the plant would involve huge
storage tanks costing approximately
500. 900, according to the company's
figures, the commission felt that 1t
would not be properly placed.
Fight 70 BE Continued.
Immediately upon hearing Of the de-
cision, Col. Charles T. Jesse, attorney
for the company, announced that ne
would carry his fight for the permit
before the supervisors ct the earliest
possible opportunity.
In none Of the petitions Of protest,
it was pointed out by A. j. Webb, Sec
rotary of the commission, was there
objection raised to the location Of the
plant at some other point in the county.
This question has created a furore
almost as great - that produced by
the attempt Of the N. Auth Provision
Co. Of Washington to locate an abat-
toir in the county. In both instances
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission entered the Tight,
claiming that the proposed development
into o park Of the Virginia shore would
be blocked by the location in either
vicinity Of heavy industry.

SERGEANT INFIERITS
BARONETCY CREATED IN 1929
Sir Fulque Agnew, Born in Washington,
Has Led Adventurous Life in Widely
Scattered Parts of World.

With his funds running low, Agnew
enlisted in the United States Cavalry
and was stationed at Monterey, Calf.
Being fond of horses, he said he thor
oughly enjoyed his cavalry days in the
United States Army.
Agnew was discharged from the
United States Army in 1927, and was
about to return to England when the
disturbed conditions in China turned
the eyes Of the world in that direction.
He enlisted in the United States Marine
Corps, and his first assignment was 10
the headquarters Of the Sd Brigade, I'M
T. Butler, with station at Tientsin.
While there, Agnew served in the bril-
gade intelligence corps.
When the Sd Brigade was withdrawn
from Tientsin, Agnew. who wa then q
private, was transferred to the 4th Regl-
ment at Shanghai, and was kept in the
intelligence service. Several months ago
he was promoted to the rank of SER
geant. "
No Hint of Title.
Last year, Agnew's uncle, Sir Andrew
Agnew, died in England. leaving him
heir to the estates Of Lochnaw, Scot
land, but Throughout the time that fol-
lowed until the young mans discharge
recently, there was no hint that a men,
Der Of the 4th Regiment was holding the
title of o baronetcy created in 1929.
There was a reason, however, for the
baronet's silence. There were several
legal formalities to be completed before
he came into his estate. and it was not
until July Of this year that he was able
to apply to Marine Corps headquarters
at Washington for his discharge. When
his application reached Washington
prompt action was taken, and his dis
charge was received here early in Au-
gust.
The plans of Sir Fulque as to his flu
ture have not taken definite form. He
is still fond Of the services and the far
regions of the earth, and his friends
among the leathernecks believe that this
fondnesS will more or less influence the
rnct NJ his life

cover that of their mates, a sergeant.
was heir to one Of the Oldest titles OF
Great Britain.
Over night, Sergt. Tulque Agnew OFF,
cially became Sir Fulque Agnew, baro-
net, in the eyes Of the world, and a few
days after the news became public, the
young man donned civilian clothes and
left China to join his mother in Italy.
The life story Of this young man,
who, by the way, is just 20. reads like a
tale from the pages of Richard Harding
Davis Or Jack London. OF an adven-
rover, a soldier, "leatherneck" and even
4 COW puncher.
Born In Washington.
BY birth. Sir Fulque is an American.
He made his bow to the world at Wash
ington, D. c., In 1900, where his father,
Maj. c. H. .Agnew, formerly Of the 7th
HussarS, was IN duty at the British
embassy. At the age Of 2 he was taken
to England by his parents. He was
educated at Harrow and during the
World War enlisted in the British army,
serving in both France and Egypt. He
was commissioned and after the war
served with his regiment. the Royal
Rifles, in Mesopotamia. where he saw
plenty Of action in the Arab uprising
Of 1920.
When his regiment returned to Eng
land from the Arab trouble Sir Fulque
found that, lacking an adequate outside
income, he could not carry on with his
regiment and resigned his commission
The next epoch of Importance in the
career of this adventurous youth was a
trip to America in a 130-foot yacht. He
and the companions who were with him
on the trip sold Sthe boat after landing
on United States soil and set out for
Mexico. where they roaned about until
1924. Agnew decided to stay In America
