A. B. Carney of the Norfolk County
Circuit Court after the State Su.

The courts decision not to con.

of retiring Judge Carney brought
the matter, in effect, to the Gov.

The House of Delegates recon-.
mended a special session in the event

The Governor said he desired time

Hundreds Turn Out
AT Bethesda Meetinu
On Master Planning
Series Won't Take Up
Specific Proposals
For Rezonine

The first in series of public
meetings of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion to prepare a master plan fol-
land use in the Wisconsin avenue.
Bradley boulevard section of Be.
thesda was held last night in the
Bethesda County. Building.
In the belief that the commission
would announce its plan for the
area. several hundred Bethesda resi-
dents attended the meeting. Afte,
a discussion on master planning by
Fred Tuemmler, Park Commissioner
E. Brooke Lee explained that NO
specific plan would be made public
and that no discussion would be al
lowed on specific rezoning proposals
Recounting the history of the
Montgomery County suburban area
Col. Lee recalled that prior to 1927
the area was not protected by zoning
laws. Subsequent reclassification he
said, has been series of petitions
with residential areas constantly re-
senting any encroachment of COM
mercial or industrial interests.
A growth of 200 per cent in popu-
lation in the II years following the
original zoning law has made it i'm
perative, Col. Lee pointed out. to
work out a new master plan with a
reasonable adjustment between all
uses of land. Such a plan, he said,
should take into consideration a
probable doubling of population
within the next Is years.
In the hope that residents could
help the Planning Commission to
produce satisfactory master plan,
Col. Lee distributed a number of
maps of the western suburban area
to heads of civic groups and clubs.
Donal Chamberlin, representing the
KenWood Citizens Association, re-
fused to accept a map, suggesting
that it was the commissions duty to
draw up a master plan for the con-
sideration of the people.
Present at the meeting in addi-
ton to the three members of the
Park and Planning Commission and
their staff of engineers and plan
ners, were members of the Stand
ing Committee on Master Plan for
County Development and Land Use,
members OF the Postwar Planning
Committee of the Bethesda Cham
Der OF Commerce and representa-
tlves of other civic groups of the
area.
A second meeting to discuss the
proposed master plan will be held
in the near future, Col. Lee said.

Prince Georges Board
Rejects Byers' Plea
To Shoot Stray Dogs
Commissioners Ruise
Animal Rescue League
For Pickup Service

The Prince Georges County Com
missioners yesterday rejected a re-
quest by DIR. John M. Byers, county
health officer, that they authorize
police to launch a "judicious shoot
ing campaign" against stray dogs in
an effort to compel observance of
the county y-wide dog quarantine.
The County Animal Rescue League
has been operating two trucks which
pick up stray dogs since the COM
missioners two weeks ago agreed to
suspend indefinitely their order in
structing police to shoot on sight
all dogs seen at large.
Charging that the leagues pickup
service is totally inadequate" as a
rabies control measure, DR.. Byers
declared that when the board first
issued its shoot on sight" order
several months ago, it resulted in a
definite improvement in compli-
ance with the quarantine"
20 to 80 Pickups Daily.
While admitting that the league
now picks up between Is and &c
dogs daily, the health officer assert
ed that the organization has many
more requests to pick up dogs than
it can handle without even start
ing to care for the stray dog
problem"
He explained that by "judicious'
shooting of dogs, he meant the
shooting of stray animals when
they are clearly away from their
homes and where there is no danger
of harming persons.
"The mere announcement that
police are going to shoot stray dogs
he emphasized, would be a very
favorable influence in enforcing the
quarantine in the county"
He told the board that approx
mately so rabid dogs have been re-
ported in the county since the first
Of this year and that two rabid dogs
have been reported within the past
week in Green Meadows and Dodge
Park.
Commissioners Praise League.
In denying DR.. Byers' proposal
the commissioners said that in their
opinion the league was doing an
excellent" job in Kidding the county
OF stray dogs. They pointed out that
they had suspended their shoot
on sight" order to afford the league
IA "fair opportunity" to inaugurate
its pickup service.
The board ordered that a public
hearing be held at 10 am. May %
at Upper Marlboro to determine
whether street lights shall be erect
ed in Dillon Park in response to q

McCarran Demands
Congress Action on
Pentagon Bus Rates
Stresses Workers Plight
In Light Of Court Ruling
On ice Fare Cut Order

Senator McCarran, Democrat, of
Nevada today urged that prompt
action be taken by Congress to end
the muddle in regulation of trans
portation rates between the District
and Federally owned areas in near
by Arlington County.
Stressing that the Government
has vital interest in the question
because of the many thousands OF
workers now employed at the sew
eral Federal buildings in the area
he said he felt legislation was de-
sirable in view of the District Court
rejection of a bus fare order by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
ICC Order Set Aside.
After lengthy hearings, the ICC
last January issued an order regu-
larizing fares and lowering some

companies serving the Pentagon
Building, the Arlington Annex, the
Army Annex and the Washington
National Airport.
Acting on an appeal, a three
judge tribunal of District Court
Monday set aside the ICC order
holding that the Federal agency
had failed to make findings to sup
port It's contention that it had juris.
diction. The judges held that the
ICC had no jurisdiction unless it be
necessary to carry out the national
transportation policy. AS to that
the court said the transportation
involved was not interurban but
urban and that in its opinion it was
not the intention of Congress to
confer jurisdiction on the ICC to
regulate fares for transportation OF
this nature.
Senator McCarran introduced a
bill about q year ago, when he was
chairman of the Senate District
Committee, to apply District Law
and regulations to the Federal areas
of nearby Virginia. Because of vir-
ginia protests and the protracted
efforts to find some other solution
the McCarran measure has beer
allowed to gather dust.
Appeal Would Take Time.
While one alternative to legisla-
ton would be an appeal from the
District Court decision, some OBJ
servers explained this would entail
considerable time and possibly might
not result in clear-cut answer.
Senator McCarran, now head o1

Campbell, Leaving Drug Post,

Walter G. Campbell, who retired
yesterday from his post of commits

vote his time to improving his golf
score, taking asmore active role in
civic affairs, and puttering around
the 21a-acre grounds of his home at

Looking back on an eventful ca

was founded under DR.. Harvey w
Wiley, Mr.. Campbell said he was
content to call it a day, even
though the fight for grade labelling
of food products, one of his strong
est hopes and desires, is yet to be
achieved. It will not come until
the consumer makes a more insist
ent demand for this health safe
guard, Mr.. Campbell believes.
But. on the other hand, so sue
cessfully has the bureau waged its
campaign for pure foods and drugs
that only one black hair dye re-
mains on the market that is at all
harmful-and steps are being taken
to bring its manufacturers to &C

products has improved immeasur-
ably. The invaluable work of the

congressional lobbyists for better
control of foods and drugs and
dramatic efforts to thwart poisoning
on a national scale. He recalls the
tragedy Of 1887, when scores of per.
sons were killed by panacea con-
cocted from the newly-discovered
sulfa drugs.

trolls the school board.
The Federation voted to recon-
