special Dlspatch 10 Inc StaF.
FAIRFAX, Va, June 26.-Bids on
a new wing on the Courthouse
building are to be opened July Is,
the Fairfax County Board of Super
visors announced yesterday.
The wing will include new rec
ord room and clerks Offices on the
first floor, and additional offices on
the second floor to relieve over
croWding. 1t will be built on the
rear of the building, connected with
the present Circuit Court wing.
AS soon as funds are available it
is planned to increase the size of
the clerks Office and record room
for use of the county commissioner
of revenue and county treasurer,
with the treasurer's Office to be con-
verted into a county board room.
For some time county officials
have needed more Office space TO
meet growing needs in the county.
An appropriation of $3.50 was
made by the board for the use of
the Northern Virginia Regional De-
lcIlSc SOuIlCH- AG lIlt ldSI IllccLlllS
of the supervisors an official from
the council said appropriations
would be asked from the counties
and cities in the area covered by
the council to help maintain the
headquarters in Alexandria.
The board was notified by officials
of the Work Projects Administra-
ton that the sewing room here
will have to suspend operations
June 80, since it is planned to con-
tinue only those sewing projects
where 20 or more women are en-
ployed. The county sewing room
has eight women workers at present.
1t was thought some of the workers
might be transferred to the Prince
William County sewing room at
Manassas, if that project is con-
tinued.
Franklin P. Sagendorf of Fair
fax was reappointed county electri-
cal inspector for the coming year.
The board voted to allow all Of
fees to give their employees an
extra holiday on July 5, where 1t
does not conflict with State law.

Planners 10 Discuss
Fringe Parking al
Session Today
Use Of Park Areas for
Daily Car Storage
Also to Come Up
of the Washington

A discussion of the Washington
parking situation, with the poSsibil-
ity of instituting fringe parking, is
on the agenda of the June meeting
of the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission today.
Studies were to be shown of pos
sible fringe parking locations in the
District and in nearby Virginia from
which motorists would be delivered
to their destinations by special
buses. The parking fee would in
clude the bus transportation. Of
I ficials explained that such systems
are used in Philadelphia, New York
and Boston. r.
Park Parking to Come Up.
The question of parking in the
parks also was to come in for dis
cussion. The Navy Department says
it has 10000 employees and room for
parking only 488 automobiles. 1t
suggested use of parks for parking,
but Secretary of the Interior Ickes
expressed opposition to such a plan.
Location of temporary Office
buildings. one in particular, was an
other subject listed for discussion, as
was the general acquisition of land
for playground and park extensions.
The Whitehurst traffic report also
was subject.
To Discuss County Zoning.
Officials of the commission said
yesterday the proposed moratorium
on zoning changes in Montgomery
and Prince Georges County, Md, had
brought about possibility of a COM
prehensive study and revision of
zoning plans in the District. This
also was listed for discussion at to-
days meeting.
Highway changes and street clos
ings will be submitted for approval
tomorrow, and the legislative report
will be given Thomas S. Settle, sec
retary of the commission. The pro-
posal to develop circulation through
the grounds of Gallinger Hospital
and to coordinate it with extension

Montgomery Board
Calls Special Session
On zoning Policy
Will Study Suggestion
To Lift Moratorium;
Seven Hearings Slated
By staff Correspondent of The Star.

By staff Correspondent Of The Star
ROCKVILLE, Nd, June 26.-The
Montgomery County Board of Com
missioners, sitting as council for the
Washington regional district, was to
meet in special session at 3 O'Clock
this afternoon to consider suggested
changes in a policy which declares
| a moratorium on certain types OF
rezoning.
The meeting was called after an
executive conference late yesterday
by the county commissioners. the
.Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, legal
representatives of both groups and
Alfred Bettman, planning engineer
from Cincinnati, Ohio, whose serv-
ices were recently retained by Mont
gomery County.
Will Hold Hearings.
No announcement was made con-
corning decisions reached in yester-
days conference, but President
Thomas E. Hampton of the COM
missioners said that five public hear
{ 4llSS dG Ol4NCl SDI 4lls IlllS
and two tonight in Bethesda will be
held as planned. The commissioners
also intend to hold the adjourned
meeting tomorrow night in Silver
Spring on the request of Sligo Park
Properties, Inc. to reZone property
to permit apartment house construc-
ton in Sligo Park Hills.
At this afternoons meeting the
commissioners are expected to make
a decision concerning changes in
two resolutions in which they de-
cided to withhold further rezoning
action until a master city develop
ment plan has been evolved by Mr..
Bettman. They excepted from this
policy, however. any rezoning peti-
tions arising meanwhile which seek
to extend existing claSsiications or
to establish zones near similarly
used property.
Civic Federation Protests.
Since the resolutions establishing
the moratorium policy were adopted.
the Subcommittee on Zoning of the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora
tion has written the commissioners
charging that the exceptions create
"loopholes" by permitting continued
rezoning prior to the adoption of
the master plan.
A subsequent letter from Allen H.
Gardner of the subcommittee re-
queSted the commissioners to hold a
public hearing on the question of
Strengthening the policy so as to re-
move the "loophole" exceptions.
Today'S meeting is expected to
deal with the Gardner request.

she must get up at 4 o'clock each
morning, she declared.
Henry O. Martin, War Depart
ment clerk living in Arlington
starts work at 8 O'Clock but arrives
shortly after 6 am. He gets up at
Sis am. and his wife arises at 4:30
TO haveihis breakfast ready.
He spends most of his waiting
time reading Sunday school papers
in his automobile. he said.
AS parking by workers in the mil
itary departments spreads out into
greater areas, it mingles with that
of other agencies, which have their
troubles, too. At the edge of the
Tidal Basin. one mile from his Office,
was found Don F. Cosbey, an Inter-
state Commerce Commission en-
ploye since 1916.
Due at work at 9:15 am, he comes
from his Arlington home and parks
at a m. each day. He reads mag
azines and writes letters-and then
walks.
Parks Congested.
Police complained today that all
day parking in the park drives is
now so extensive that almost no
space is left for those who wish to
use the grounds for recreation.
Surveys by the District Traffic
Bureau indicate that Al per cent of
all Government workers driving
their cars to work come from Mary
land and Virginia. About one-third
of the cars carry only the driver.
Secretary Ickes and others are try
ing to induce drivers to carry double
loads, to save gas and parking space.
Many of the early parkers say
they are in favor of the Navy's sug-
gestion of turning park land into au-
tomobile space. officials have cast
more favor, however, on the plan
of District Highway Director H. C.
Whitehurst to establish fringe"
parking lots and garages. Large
plots of land outside the business
and Office areas would be used as
parking areas, and shuttle buses
would run from three to congested
districts.

two others who have been good
enough to win two pennants in
row. Walters, too, is no youngster.
But he will win his share of ball
games in 1871.
The way things stack up right
now the Reds get slight nod in
the pennantward direction. They
have . good infield and . good out
field, and they still have speed.
From their list Of ehallengers you
can eliminate the Bees, the Phillies
and the Giants. Strongest opposi-
ton will come from the Dodgers,
the Cardinals, the Pirates and the
Cubs.
The Competition =.
OF the latter four, the Cardinals
and the Dodgers look to be the
stronger. The Cards position, late
next September, will depend largely
on what the mound staff can do.
They were in and out most of last
summer, a difficult team to figure.
The big four of the pitching staff in
cludes Bill MCGEE, Lon Warneke,
Clyde Shoun and Morton Cooper.
Between them they won IS and lost
43 last year. MCGEE won 16 and lost
10, Warneke had a IS and 10 rec
ord, Shoun won Is and lost II, and
Cooper won II while losing II.
That record means that the vet
Grams will have to show considerable
improvement and get much-needed
help from the youngsters if the
Cardinals are to make an important
bid for the 1871 flag. But with John
ny Mize and the right punch, they
can't be ruled out.
The main pennant war should rest
with the Reds and the Dodgers.
During the next season Ducky Med
wick will be ON hand from the open
ing pitch. Completely recovered
from the effects Of . bean ball, he
won't have any odd noises buzzing
in his head. Medwick has plenty Of
baseball left in his system.
Leo Durocher is far from the least
valuable of the Dodger assets. A
