the construction of the depot. The
building would have an area of 500,-

tonment is necessary for training

BY a Staff Correspondent of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 25.-
The Alexandria Housing Authority
has agreed to supervise construction
of one experimental defense hous-
ing project and to accept respon-
sibility for construction of another.
Director R. S. Marshall said the
Authority had agreed to assume su-
pervision of a new S48,0 project,
to be constructed with funds pro-
vided by the Federal Works Agency
as a residential development for COL
ored non commissioned officers from
Fort Belvoir.
According TO tentative plans Is
or 16 homes will be built on a site
previously acquired by the Gov
ernment on the 900 block of North
Alfred street. Approximately $4,000
has been allocated for each unit,
It is reported '--r- $3.50
The Alexandria Authority has also
accepted responsibility for the con-
struction of 25 experimental homes
on Duke street extended, where 200
homes for civilian personnel at Fort
Belvoir are already under construc-
ton.
Although the experimental homes
will be built under a separate con-
tract, they will be part of large
development for which a contract
was recently awarded to the Dyker
Construction Co. of New York.
City Manager Carl Budwesky said
the Government has agreed to pay
Alexandria an annual sum not more
than IA per cent of the net rental
from the property, because the Gov
ernment ownership of the Alfred
street site normally would deprive
the city of tax revenues. The pay
ment, to be made in lieu OF taxation,
is in return for municipal services
which are to be rendered free to
residents of the defense housing
project by the city. Mr.. Budwesky
said a similar agreement had been
prepared in connection with the
Duke street development. which will
net the city approximately $4,000
a year in Government payments.

ROCKVILLE, Nd, June 25.-
Plans for a special meeting to con-
slider strengthening its resolutions
declaring a moratorium on certain
types of rezoning were announced
at a meeting of the Montgomery
County Board of Commissioners
yesterday.
Two letters from the Subcom-
mittee on Zoning of the Mont
somery County Civic Federation
were read. in which attention was
called to certain "loopholes' said to
exist in the moratorium policy
making it possible for rezonlng ac-
ton to continue while study is
being made of master zoning plan
for the suburban area. One OF the
letters, from Allen H. Gardner,
asked that public hearings be held
on the proposal to amend the reso-
lutions declaring the moratorium.
The commissioners have adopted
q policy of refraining from further
rezoning until after master plan
Is drafted by Alfred Bettman,
planning engineer except in cases
where such rezoning action would
extend or establish areas located
close to similarly used properties.
Await Bettman's Advice.
After the two federation COM
mittee letters we're read, Thomas E.
Hampton. president of the board,
said J. Bond Smith of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission had been asked to COM
municate with Mr.. Bettman to OBJ
tain the latter's recommendations
on the method to be followed in
Withholding reZoning actions until
after the master plan is developed.
"Mr. Smith was to get in touch
with Mr.. Bettman by telephone to-
day" Mr.. Hampton declared, and
had hoped to be able to report to
you at this meeting. He was to ask
Mr.. Bettman's advice to overcome
the objections that have arisen" !"
Mr.. Hampton indicated that a
special meeting. possibly by the end
Of this week, may be necessary to
alter the moratorium policy after
Mr.. Bettman's recommendations are
received.
Meanwhile, no change has been
made in plans by the commissioners
to hold five public hearings on re-
,1atifinor a.
at Silver Spring and two hearings
tomorrow night in Bethesda. Also
as far as could be learned, the public
hearing adjourned from last week
will be held Friday night at the
Liquor Building in Silver Spring on
the request of Sligo Park Properties
Inc, to extend an apartment zone
in Sligo Park Hills.
Withdraws Stone Bids.
Thomas w. Perry, construction
materials contractor, wrote a letter
declaring he was withdrawing" his
bids on contract which the county
had awarded him to supply stone
"On account of the defense pro-
gram. shortage of cars and slowness
of railroad delivery" he said, he
was making the withdrawal"
Joseph A. Cantrel, counsel to the
board, said Mr. Perry could not
withdraw from the contract except
by mutual consent with the county.
No action was taken on the letter.
The board authorized Police Chief
Andrew M. Newman to send one
policeman to Edgewood Arsenal for
q two-week training course for po-
lice and firemen in methods of COM
