Park Service Joins
In Opposing Two
Rezoning Pleas
Montgomery Boord Heors
Applications Involving
Conduit Rood Sites

Plans of the National Park Serv-
ice to make Conduit road highway
devoid of commercial zoning were
cited by opponents at a hearing
yesterday on two applications for
rezoning of sites along the road.
Irving c. Root, superintendent of
National Capital Parks, expressed
the opposition of that group to both
applications, which seek commercial
classification for tracts along the
road, known as Macarthur boule-
ward in the District.
The applicants are Mrs. Bessie
Miller and Mrs. Annie Mae Del
linger.
Mr.. Root told the Montgomery
County Commissioners, who con-
Quoted the hearing. that years ago
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission requested that no
more commercial zoning be per-
mitted on the boulevard.
The Park Service has expressed
the hope that commercial establish
ments built on residential property
before enactment of the county
zoning ordinance, such as the two
on which hearings were held yester-
day. would be replaced some day by
private homes, according to Mr..
Root.
Mr.. Root was the only person to
appear in opposition to the Miller
application, which involves property
near Glen Echo Park, but a score of
residents from the vicinity of
Brookmont objected to the Dellinger
application Resolutions of protest
against the latter application were
presented by the Potomac Valley
Citizens Association and the Civic
League of Brookmont and vicinity.
At the conclusion of the testi-
mony, Chairman Thomas E. Hamp-
ton announced that because of fail
ure to comply with regulations it
would be necessary for Mrs. Del
linger to make another application.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dellinger operate a
berr parlor and restaurant known
as Hilltop Tavern on the site.
The Commissioners took the Miller
application under advisement.

from broken spillway gates in the
Beulah Irrigation Dam so miles to
the west swirled over the highway
at Juntura late yesterday and began
creeping up slowly on low-lying por-
tions of the town of 167 population.
Earlier fears OF a devastating flood
were quieted somewhat by Robert
Hill, Reclamation Bureau engineer.

be closed. He left with work crews
to repair the dam.
c. c. Ketchum, superintendent of
the Vale irrigation project, said the
crest was moving down the Malheur
River at only 2 to miles an hour,
that there should be no loss of life
and little livestock loss even though
the gates should give way COM
pletely.
1t was expected, however, that
there would be considerable damage
to farms near the river
Details as to the cause OF the

Senate Committee
Votes Women 'sCorps
Separate From Army
Would Be Under Direct
Supervision Of Military
Authorities, However
By ]. A. OIEARY.

The Senate Military Affairs Com
mittee voted unanimously today for
q Women's Army Auxiliary Corps
as a separate organization instead of
within the Regular Army.
A similar bill. already passed by
the House, had been reported favor
ably from the Senate Committee on
February 8, but was recommitted by
further study, after Senator Thomas
Democrat. Of Utah, presented
substitute plan to make the corps
a part Of the Army instead of sep
arate auxiliary.
His proposal provoked sharp Sen
ate debate. in which several Sena-
tors argued the substitute would
confer on some member of the corps
rank and title higher than men in
combat service. Opponents Of the
substitute called 1t too big change
to make in the military policy of the
country without committee consid-
Grafton.
The House bill, which now goes
to the Senate calendar, provides for
the enrolment of an indefinite
number of women for non-com-
batant service that would release
men for the fighting branches.
While under the direct supervision
Of the Army, the corps would not
become an actual part OF the Army.
Instead of the regular military titles,
such as general, colonel or captain,
the corps would be headed by a "di-
rector" with a staff of assistant
directors" and group leaders.
Enrolment would be on the VOL
unteer system, within the age limits
of Fl to As. Benefits for injury or
death would be administered, as in
the case of civilian Federal work.
ers, by the United States Employees
Compensation Commission. II the
corps had been made an integral
part Of the Army, the enrollees
would have been eligible to the same
benefit laws as soldiers.
The present plan contemplates
assigning the women to clerical
work. telephone and telegraph oper-
alton. aircraft warning service. and
to work as dietitians, hostesses, IL
brarians and other non-combatant
jobs.

Federation Requests
Bus Service Hearing
Be Held al HyattsviIIe
Evening Stor Cup for
Marked Citizenship
Presented to Fierstein

The Prince Georges County Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations last
night petitioned the Maryland Pub
lie Service Commission to transfer
from Baltimore to the County Serv-
ice Building in Hyattsville the hear
ing scheduled May 20 on the pro-
posed curtailment of transportation
services into the District of Co.
lumbia.
The federations action followed
the statement of Representative
Sasscer Of Maryland that, In his
judgment. public interest in the
hearing throughout Prince Gecs-ss
County warranted its being hi in
a convenient location.
Avoidance of needless duplicatlCs'
Of bus and streetcar lines in an ef-
fort to conserve transportation re-s
sources has been the Justification
advanced by the Capital Transit Co.
in seeking to establish a central
terminal in Mount Rainier and to
eliminate some OF its present lines.
Sasscer Explains View.
"Of course, we all realize that we
are in a war and we must make
every necessary sacrifice" Mr..
Sasscer said. But We must guard
against the war being used as an
excuse vehicle in this plan, which
has been anticipated and worked on
for some time"
The Representative attended not
only to address the federation on
national affairs but to present Frank
Fierstein, chairman of the fedora
tion's Hospital Committee, with this
years Evening Star Cup for out
standing citizenship. Mr.. Fierstein
has been one of the foremost lead
ers in the drive to obtain hospital
for the county.
He has carried along with the
ebb tide" Mr.. Sasscer said, as well
as with the flood tide"
More Police Sought.
The federation approved a resolu-
tion offered by George c. Brown OF
the Landover Hills Association
recommending to the next session
Of the Maryland Legislature the
provision of additional county police
and auxiliary police in order to
insure the protection of the prop
erty of Prince Georges County's
rapidly expanding population.
The action of the Queens Chapel
Citizens Association requesting the
State Board of Liquor Appeals to
reconsider the local boards approval
OF Class B beer license for an
establishment at the intersection of
Chillum and ueens Chapel roads
near Mount Rainier also was ap-
proved by the federation, on the
ground that the establishment was
too near the Mount Rainier High
School.

voted for the Green Meadows

ton, fve Of whose members were
