Montgomery Board
Votes to.Lega|ize
zoning |nfrattions
Commissioners Divided
On Motion by PIummer,
Democrats Voting Aye

The Montgomery CMd) Board of
Commissioners today, over the pro-
test of two Republican members.
authorized the Maryland-Natio
Capital Park and Planning Comnlis-
sion to legalize all existing infrac-
tions of the zoning regulations on
conforming use in the county.
The board split along party lines,
the Democrats. Commissioners Rob-
ert D. Hagner, Clay Plummer and
Richard H. Lansdale, carrying the
motion over opposition from the Re-
publican commissioners. Board Pres
ident Frank H. Karn and Paul M.
Coughlan.
Under the act creating the Park
and Planning Commission in 1928,
all commercial enterprises or apart
ment houses existing at the time
were permitted to continue in non
conforming use" If they were in res
idential zones, but no addition to
buildings were permitted, and If left
vacant for more than six months,
the right to such use was lost.
The motion introduced by Mr..
Plummer recommended that the
commission legalize in "non-con-
forming use" all such buildings,
apartments and businesses now in
existence since that time In violation
Of the zoning laws.
No Reason Stated.
Mr.. Plummer gave no reason for
his motion except to indicate it was
at the suggestion of the Park Com
mission. He referred all questions
to Lacy Shaw, park commissioner
for Montgomery County, who could
not be reached Immediately for
comment.
Commissioner Coughlan, in op-
posing the motion, declared that
the Park and Planning Commission.
If it took advantage Of the boards
recommendation, could legalize such
violations of the zoning ordinances
as that of Peter Fritz, proprietor of
the Log Cabin Inn at Wheaton.
Mr.. Fritz was arrested last year
for operating a commercial enter
prise in a residential area, but filed
suit challenging the constitutionality
of the 10-year-old law creating the
Park and Planning Commission.
Mr. Fritz will be permitted to
continue the business he has been
operating in violation of the law"
Mr.. Coughlan said, "and every un-
lawfully operated apartment house
in the metropolitan area can now
operate lawfully to the disadvan-
tage of neighbors."
Many Big Houses Converted.
Mr.. Coughlan explained thSt
without permission from the COM
many large homes had been
into apartment houses
during the past 10 years. The prac-
tice had been stopped whenever it
was discovered, but could not be
stopped hereafter If the boards
recommendation becomes law, he
stated.
At the commission of1ice it was
learned that 100000 is available
from a Federal fund for the pur-
chase Of park land in Montgomery
County. It was indicated that the
commission might not be able to
secure this allotment while a suit
testing the commissions constitu-
tionality is still pending. The rec
ommendation of the board, If &C
cepted by the commission, would
permit settling the Fritz suit.

Striking G. I. o. handlers re-
manned at their homes or picketed
at the yard gates under the eyes of
a large force of policemen. There
was no disorder, and o. T. Henkle,
vice president and general manager
Of the Union Stockyard g. Transit
Co.. at which the strike was directed,
said no union men were at work.
Work of caring for the 60, 900 head
of cattle, sheep and hogs on hand
when the strike halted trading yes

ordinarily engaged in buying and
selling.
Receipts Half Of Normal.
Mr.. Henkle said today's receipts Of
315 carloads approximated one-hals
of a normal days business, exclusive
Of direct shipments to packers. Tie
loads consisted of 5000 cat.le.
$4,000 hogs and 1000 sheep. All
shippers have been informed tne''

would include feeding charges.
Forty-five carloads Of prime beef
steers arrived from Schleswig, Iowa.
for exhibition at the international
Livestock Show opening at the yard S
international Amphitheater Satuu-
day. The steers were unloaded by
40 farmers who accompanied the
shipment and who will care for
them. The animals were moved i'm
mediately to pens near the amphi-
theater.
Show Not to Be Affected.
Mr.. Henkle said all quarters for
the show were ready and that the
strike would "in no way affect tt.
show" The company chief sa i
most of the exhibition animals eacl
year were brought in by farm DO

wouldn't let strangers near them,
anyhow"
No strike conferences are planned,
Mr.. Henkle continued. Any one
wishing to return to work, indi-
vidually or in groups, will be wei
come, he said, adding he had no dis
agreement regarding a working con-
tract except that his company would
not countenance closed-shop or
check-od provisions.
Under an agreement between the

TURKS ARE BIG
'StreamIining' Passe in
Shenandoah
BY JAMES J. CULL1NANE

Down in the Shenandoah Val
ley thousands Of pleasingly plump
beauties are giving the merry
ha-ha to style arbiters in Wash
ington who are trying to make the
Streamlined figure all the rage
this fall.
They are the turkey cocks and
hens. whose appetites are creating
major headaches for housewives
who soon must begin figuring how
to get Thanksgiving dinner like
grandma used to roast in an oven
built for medium-sized shoulders
Toasts. - y
STREAMLINED BUDS
Patient scientists at the Depart
ment of Agriculture thought they
had he problem solved las year,
when they announced they had
perfected a breed of turkeys with
Streamlined figures on the expert
mental farm at Beltsville, Md.
The experimental turkeys have
underslung chassis and appetites
which send them to the Thanks
giving markets weighing only 10
or IL pounds.
BACK TO '9Os
But down on the 150-acre farm
Of Howard Myers, near Clifton
Station, Va, some 1,100 turkeys
strutted proudly yesterday to show
off figures that were the delight
Of the "Floradora" Diamond Jim
Brady era.
"Those gobblers will weigh
around 30 pounds on the hoof
when they get to market and
the hens will run around is
pounds" said w. J. Myers. son
Of the largest turkey grower in
Fairfax county.
"Oh, sure, we've heard all
about people wanting little tur-
keys because their ovens are
small, but they don't seem to
show up in the markets. The
people that buy our birds want
'em good and plump and that's
the way we grow 'em.
PRICE THE SAME
This has been a very good year
Tor turkeys and they are plentiful
and fat, Myers said. He doesn't
know what the market price will
be yet, but thinks it will be about
the same as last year when he
sold his birds for "a cents a pound
ION the hoof" and for 80 to IS
cents dressed. Myers plans to
begin Slaughtering some of his
birds and sending them to market
to feel out prices next month.
