REzON|NC FOUGHT
BY CHEVY CHASE
Commercial Status for 32nd
Street, Near Utah Ave-
nue., Protested.

Spirited opposition to petition to
rezone a new section Of Chevy Chase
so as to permit erection of stores
marked today's public hearing before
the Zoning Commission. twenty-five
suggested changes in zoning were to
be heard by the commission.
The fight developed from a request
to change property on the west side
of Thirty second street and north OF
Utah avenue from restricted reSiden-
tial area to the first commercial zone.
The section has been developed in the
last two years and in recent months
many homes have been built there.
The nearest stores are located on Con-
necticut avenue six blocks away
Led by Edwin S. Hege, president of
the Chevy Chase Citizens Association.
and w. NJ. Steuart. chairman of the
associations zoning Committee. more
than 40 residents of the neighborhood
appeared in opposition to the recon-
ing. Hege introduced petition
signed by 200 opponents of construc-
ton of stores in the section.
Cites Development.
Great impetus to building activi-
ties of the section has developed a
large residential community" Hege
said. Residents of Chevy Chase have
repeatedly declared against COM
mercial area in Chevy Chase other
than along Connecticut avenue"
Another case which drew consid-
cradle attention was the renewed re-
quest of Raymond F. Garrity that a
large lot which he owns on the south
side of Macomb street. a block east of
Connecticut avenue, be changed from
"a restricted area to residential &C.
area to permit the construction of an
apartment.
Garritys lot is adjacent to the estate
of Walter Schoelkopf, member of
the diplomatic corps, now attached to
the American Embassy in Madrid
The home was once occupied by the
late Secretary of the Treasury Woods
Case Taken to Court.
Four years ago the commission re-
fused to grant the change in Zoning
| and subsequently the District Supreme
Court upheld the decision. The case
is now in the District Court of Ap-
peals. Many residents of Macomb
street testified in opposition to the
change. and Schoelkopf was quoted
as being opposed to it.
The commission also heard a petit
ton of DR.. Arthur Ramsay that his
property at 2l09-2111 S street be
| changed from a restricted residential
area to residential &C" area to permit
the erection of an apartment.
Several owners of nearby property,
including representative of the
Friends Meeting House, Florida ave-
nue. and S street, opposed the change.
A portion of DR.. Ramsays property
is now used by the Holton Arms
School.
Other requests heard by the COM
mission included one that property at
1907 I street be changed from resi-
dental area to first commercial and
that 1915 Massachusetts avenue be
rezoned from residential to fira COM
mercial. There was no opposition to
either change

for investiga ton today in connection
with the alleged extortion of about
$4,000 from Mrs. Mary B. Clabaugh,
9l6 Eighth street
The woman was arrested last night
by Detective Sergt John Wise when
she appeared at the Clabaugh home to
collect S148. to complete a total OF
ST 200 demanded earlier yesterday.
Mrs. Clabaugh on the Woman's pre-
vious visit had given her 1852, all she
had in the bank.
She is said to have obtained to-
tai of some $4,000 from Mrs. Clabaugh
under threat of notifying police that
an unmarried couple had at one time
occupied a room together in the Ga
baugh home. Mrs. Clabaugh. police
said was under the impression that
the couple was married, but feared
consequences in case they were not.

Mrs Clabaugh it might mean her ar

$1,000.
Police were seeking the couple re-
ferred to by the prisoner for ques-

for investigation in connection with
the alleged extortion. The prisoner,
it is said, told officers others were not
involved in the plot and said, "Tll
take the rap" She gave an address
in the 5000 block of Georgia avenue.
Mrs. Clabaugh, police said, is deeply
interested in church matters and
feared the woman might give friends
an unfavorsble impression of her
