Stands Are Planned
In Prince Georges;
Law LoophoIe Seen

Efforts to sell explosive fireworks
are being made by few Prince
Georges County fire departments,
despite a State regulation against
both sale and use OF such pyrotech-
MICS, it was learned last night.
R. M Watkins. member of the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, said ap-
plications for temporary fireworks
stands had been made to him and
to the Prince Georges County build
Ing inspectors by fire officials.
Neither MI. Watkins nor any OF the
building inspectors granted the ap-
piications. it was reported.
the park official said the efforts OF
the fremen were being made as
result of "curbstone" opinions they
had received from various lawyers
who believe they have found loop
hole in the State regulations.
'Loophole' in Regulations.
The alleged "loophole' is a para
graph which says the regulations
are "inapplicable in any county
municipal or public corporation,
snecial district or political subdivl-
sion of the State now or hereafter
having duly adopted laws, ordinances
or regulations covering the sanle
subject matter Cflreworks).
At least three Prince Georges
County towns. it is reported, have
regulations which bar nreWorks'
except for the first four Gays OF july
IT is under such ordinances that the
7remen nope to sell fireworks tour
days next week.
Mr.. Watkins said he personally
uas in favor of the regulations OF
state Insurance Commissioner John
p Centrum to ban the sale and use
of explosive fireworks except al
licensed community celebrations.
The two other Prince Georges
County members of the park COM
mission. which passes on permltS
for fireworks stands, were not aVall-
able to consider the applications last
night T. Howard Duckett, who has
resigned. effective Tuesday, is at
the MARYLAND Bar Association
meeting in Atlantic City. George
N Palmer, the third county mem
ber. is confined to his home by Ill
ness.
Watkins Won't Act.
In the absence of his associates,
Mr.. Watkins said he would not act
on the applications. He said ne
assumed the commissions policy
would be the same as last year
that permits for temporary stands
would be issued in commercial
areas. Last year IA Prince Georges
fire companies sold fireworks, one
of the fire officials said.
A county official pointed out that
1t might be possible for the flre
companies to erect stands and begin
selling before ANY one does any
thing about"
Meanwhile, in Arlington, Va, a
l9-year- old Clarendon, Va, youth
was sentenced to pay S. fine IN
Arlington County Police Court yes
terday by Judge Ben HedrlcK on
charges of violating the county's
anti-fireUorks ordinance.
The youth. Harold Bowen, was
arrested by County Police Officer H.

 The natural color scheme as well as the thoroughness of the entire picture brings to the American screen one of the finest presentations of all that is truly Irish. It should indeed serve as fitting Jason at this time or at any time, for Here Is Ireland" come to us in days of groom from war-weary Europe with a fresh and fragrance all its own.
