zoning Commission
Considers Rehearing
For Mclean Gardens

The Zoning Commission will meet
Tuesday to decide whether to grant
a rehearing to Mclean Gardens,
which is seeking rezoning to allow
continuance of the restaurant and
other commercial facilities, such as
a barber shop, beauty parlor. gift
shop and laundry agency.
Representatives of Defense Homes
Corp, headed by Philip M. Klutz-
nick, president of the corporation
and commissioner of the Public
Housing Administration, recently
asked the Commissioners to seek
any way possible to allow the COM
mercial activities to continue in a
residential area for the convenience
of personnel of the armed services
and war workers living in the SILL
100000 development.
A rezoning plea was denied sew
eral times before by the commission
and the District went to Municipal
Court to gain compliance, but the
case has been postponed until Tues
day.
Mr.. Klutznick told the Commits
sionerS there we're no funds or ma
terial available to construct COM
mercial establishments on the land
already zoned for them. He said
it was an open question whether
the District had the authority to
impose its zoning on a Federal
project.
Mr.. Kluntznick said if the District
pursues the court proceedings there
is no sense in having any further
coming hearing. Commissioner Guy
Mason, who is member Of the
zoni1g Commission, said he was
willing to grant new hearing.
When Mr.. Mason commented that
the corporation was asking the
Commissioners to permit CONNER
cial activities in violation of the
laws, Mr.. Kluntznick said he was
not asking the District to counte-
nance violation of its laws but
wanted the Commissioners to find "a
way out" He said that while tech
nically the corporation may have
"sinned," no violence had been done
to fundamental zoning principles.

| May Get Cut in
Vacation Time

Public school principals and super

imum of As days to 26 days.
The Board of Education Wednes-
day will consider a recommendation
by its Rules Committee that the
variation between the school vaca-

ministrative problems arising in the
hiring, shifting and resignation OF
personnel.
Teachers, employed on a 10-month
basis, are not affected by the pro-
posed regulation which deals only
with year-round employees. The
children are not affected either.
Under the present system, each
principal and superintendent gets
80 days summer vacation, with an
additional Is days which can be
and usually has been-granted by
the superintendent of schools. No
set sick leave has been set up, the
granting of it being left to the

ployes will get 26 days annual leave
and IS days sick leave, with the
privilege of accommodating this leave
up to 80 days.
