$150,000 weekly pay roll loss caused
by the selective service drawing
some 10000 men from the area.
Mr.. Stewart will arrive in Rock
vile tomorrow for a consultation
with Republican leaders and a rally
of Republican precinct workers at
the county courthouse at pm.
Plans for helping in the campaign
will be discussed at a meeting OF

row at 1890 pm. in the Columbia

mann, president, announced. Other
meetings will be scheduled during

Reckord Urges All Aid
To Democracies Now
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
BALTIMORE, May 5.-"The
United States should do all 1t can
to aid the democratic nations of the
world, and do it now" in the opin-
ion of Maj. Gen. Milton A. Reckord,
commander of the 29th Division.
Speaking at a Polish-American
celebration of the l50th anniver-
sary of the signing of the May
constitution of Poland, Gen. Reckord
declared:
The only trouble with demo-
cratic nations is that they act too
late. All of the countries of Europe
that have acted too late have been
overrun."
The ceremony also marked the
laying of the cornerstone Of
monument to Gen. Pulaski, with
George Wendolowski, secretary of
the Polish Embassy in Washington,
reporting that only few days ago
we received word that orders have
been given in Warsaw to destroy all
monuments to Polish national he
roes."

Massachusetts,
Avenue Group
Fights Rezoning
Citizens Request
DisopprovoI Of
Apartment Project

A joint committee composed OF
citizens groups in the Massachusetts,
avenue extended area today asked
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission to
reconsider its approval of the recon-
ing of a 60-acre tract in that sec-s
ton from residential A to residential
c to permit construction of apart-A
ments
In letter forwarded to the COM
mission, r. G. Beers, chairman or
the joint committee, explained that
a misstatement of fact, which later
caused the Montgomery County,.
Board of Commissioners to cancel
a zoning hearing, was included in
the application of the owner, Scotia,
B. Appelby, to the effect that he
owned all the land adjoining the
tract
At the first meeting of the county
board following the publication OF
the Zoning notice. Mr.. Beers sald,@
the owner of land adjoining the
area petitioned to be rezoned called
to the attention Of the commission.a
ers the fact that the applicant does
not own all the land adjoining the
go acres, and the board directed the
hearing be Cancelled.
Disapproval Desired.
Because the action of the Park
and Planning Commission was based
! upon a petition which contained
miSstatement of fact" he wrote, "itS
is requested that your commission
reconsider its action. Moreover, it
! is believed that, upon consideration, ,
your commission should recommend
disapproval of this petition"
Mr.. Beers said that approval of ?
the Appleby application would lead
TO "a deluge of similar applications.
which would result not in planned
zoning, but in chaos"
Hundreds of citizens and taxpay-
ers of the county, having purchased
homes in the area with the knowl-
edge that all property on both sides
of Massachusetts, avenue was classed :
as residential A. are faced with a
possible departure from the logical
development and planning which
they had reasonable cause to expect,
he declared
Opponents Are Named.
He cited as evidence of public feel
ing in the area against the petition
the fact that four citizens associa-
tions. those in Wood Acres. West
moreland Hills. which also includes
the communities of Westgate, West
haven and Yorktowne Village, Mo-
hican Hills and Kenwood. already
have taken official action to record
opposition. Representatives of Green
Acres, Glen Cove and the town of
Somerset have also opposed the re-
Zoning
The committee asked that, In the
event the Park and Planning Com
mission does not disapprove the ap-
plication on the basis of its letter. a
hearing be granted by the commits
sion before the public hearing by
the county commissioners, now
scheduled for June II.
Other members of the committee
signing the letter to the Park and
Planning Commission were Albert
w. Walker, William w Rubey, M. M.
Garrison, w. B. Armstrong, Arthur
B. Foche. B. A. Powell Charles P.
Lukens, lr. R. E. Royce and Tre-
main F. Robinson.

While it will serve a much smaller

important that the present Twen-

said, is narrow, has limited weight
capacity, and both the bridge and
the roadWays leading to it are in
adequate for the traffic using it.
In his report he called for a s4O0,-
900 span with four lanes to replace
the present two lanes. In addition,
he recommended that the new bridge
be equipped with sidewalks, safety
feature that does not exist there
now and which he considers ex-
tremely necessary.
A third span listed in the report
would be erected on Linnean avenue
across Soapstone Valley parkway
and is necessary to open that street
to through traffic and to provide a
through traffic route parallel to
Connecticut avenue. 1t is estimated
to cost approximately sl75,000.
Other Replacements.
The director also recommended
replacement of a number of the
smaller bridges of the District. eSpe-
cially those in the Northeast and
Southeast, across Watts Branch and
Oyon Run. These, he said, are mar
row and totally inadequate for mod
ern traffic. The new spans are ex-
pected to cost $4,000 to $4,000 each
and will entail a total estimate
expenditure of 100000.
Capt. Whitehurst's entire bridge
building program. including the out
lay for the tube under the Poto-
mac at Alexandria, would cost S14,-
875,000 This much he has recon-
mended be spent in construction i'm
mediately, but he listed two other
projects as a future program to
be put into effect at a date depend
ent upon certain circumstances.
One of these future projects is
the replacement of the Highway
Bridge. The director said he had
not proposed this as an immediate
move because the span still has a
good many more years of useful life
which he thinks should be gotten
out of it before it is destroyed II
still is a sturdy structure, he said
although its obsolete appearance
does not add to the beauty of the
city.
For Route to Baltimore.
The other bridge he suggested fol
the future is a span across the
Anacostia River to connect New
York avenue with the proposed
route to Baltimore This bridge, hi
said, should hinge solely on de-
velopments in connection with the
proposed route. If the highway i:
not developed. he does not favor
construction of the bridge.
! The director explained that the
proposed bridge across the AnacoStis
River in line with South Capito
street will constitute link in the
radial highway system suggested a.
a solution to the present traffic con.
gestion in the District. While the
other spans called for in the i'm
mediate program are not directly
on any of these trunk routes, hi
added, they will aid greatly ir
obtaining a free flow of traffic.
