There isn't harder working city controller in all Come cticut than Perry w. Rodman of Bridgeport. Where municipal finance officers get together they'll usually admit that, although all may not agree that Perry's tremendous energy and ca 'paclty for doing things municipal should be generally adopted, Ee certainly is tremendously active. Now in Bridgeport legislators are evidently seeking his scalp A bill is te be introduced in the legislature shortly that would make the office of controller in Bridgeport an elec- tive rather than appointlve posi- 'tion. Rep. Milton J. Herman, who is drawing up the measure, claims that MT. Rodman transfers appro- pritaions from one city department to another without proper authori- zation; states that the cost of op- erating the controllers office ($90, . O00) is excessive compared to New Haven ($22,000) maintains the city's printing plant is not econom- ical. Tn Waterbury it costs $20 900 to run the controllers office.

Court Ends Pony Riding
For Alexandra Children

There will be no more rides for
Alexandra youngsters on the three
ponies owned by Mrs. George w.
Hemby of 1923 Colonial avenue.
The owner was ordered to remove
them from the city by Judge Harry
F. Kennedy in Alexandria Civil and
Police Court yesterday, and was
fined $40 for keeping the animals in
the 900 block of North Columbus
street, residential zone.
Mrs. Hemby said she had sent the
ponies to farm in Fairfax County
and is offering them for sale.
The controversy started last June
when Mrs. Hemby purchased the
ponies to sell rides to children dur
ing the summer, but was denied a
permit by City Council to maintain
a stable.
Mrs. Hemby said she was told by
City Manager Carl Budwesky to ap-
ply for license but was told by the
commissioner Of revenue that the
city code does not provide for the
maintenance of ponies.
Complaints Of residents brought
the case to court on August IA, but
1t was continued to give the owner
a chance to dispose of the animals.
The case was called again yesterday
when 1t was found the ponies had
not been sold.

andria Company 112 of the Virginia
State Guard to its authorized

called into military service in
March, l94l, the Virginia Protective
Force was organized to guard the

zoning Changes
Proposed for
Planning Commission.
Anticipating Boom,
Urges Safeguards

An amendment to Montgomery
County zoning regulations, designed
to safeguard health in view of an
anticipated building boom in the
county, has been drafted by the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, it was
announced today.
The amendment calls for a larger
minimum lot area and greater
minimum lot frontage in the Mary
land-Washington regional district
not now served by water or sewerage
facilities.
The commission will hold a public
hearing on October in the Wood
side Elementary School, Silver
Spring, for consideration of the pro-
posal.
The proposed amendment was
adopted this week at a meeting of
the commission following a survey
made at the request of the Mont
gomery County Advisory Committee
on Postwar and County Planning in
July.
In making the study, opinions were
obtained from the Montgomery
County health officer and the County
Health Office of Prince Georges
County, as we'll as the State Health
Department and the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission. 1t
was generally recommended that an
increase in minimum lot frontage is
necessary in areas not served by
water and sewerage facilities to
protect the health, safety and well
fare of residents.
The proposed amendment stipu-
lates that the present regulation
fixing a minimum frontage of Sc
feet at the building line for resi-
dental lots, and a minimum area
OF 5000 square feet, shall apply only
TO locations where the water or
sewer services of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary district are
available.
Where the proposed subdivision
Is not served by public water OF
sewerage facilities, the minimum
lot frontage on public street OF
road shall be 100 feet and the mini
mum lot area 10000 square feet
the proposed amendment provides
1t adds, however, that if the COM
mission can be satisfied that public
water or sewerage facilities can be
made available within a wear, or
the public health authorities certify
that adequate private water or sew
ersge facilities are available, the
commission may approve a plan
for lots with less area.
The resolution also provides that
no portion of a proposed residential
structure shall be nearer than 100
feet to the center of a State high
way, which was dedicated before
January l, 1945, or nearer than rs
feet from the center of a county
road.
~ 1t also would require that such a
parcel not have frontage of less
than 100 feet along the State high
way or county road on which ii
faces and shall not have a plot
area of less than 10000 square
feet.

Bloom Resolution
To Ask Celebration
Marking End Of War
BY WILL p. KENNEDY.

Chairman Sol Bloom of the House
Foreign Affairs Committee today
announced he is drafting a resolu-
ton for a new era celebration and
Victory day spectacle in Washington
which he said will arrest the atten-
ton of the entire world.
He proposes creation of a commits
sion of nine members to consider
plans for a demonstration in this
new worlds capital" serving as a
power house in which "a lever
will be pulled switching on similar
demonstration of rejoicing peoples
everywhere over newborn freedom. -
He contemplates the appointment
of three House members by the
Speaker, three Senate members by
the Senate president protein, and
three by the President, to lay out
program for "a spectacle that will
give expression to the will of all
people for democratic self-govern-
ment."
Mr.. Bloom thus joins the national
leaders rallying behind a proposal
made originally by The Star that
Washington take the lead in a
Victory day celebration that will
honor all Americas heroes in the
war.
Mr.. Bloom said: 1.-The Capital of
the United States must lead this
great Jubilee-the greatest the world
has ever seen, because we are enter
ing upon a NV era, with militarism
crushed, with Allied nations pos
sessing punatiyea might to crush out
any attempt at future aggression by
any nation, and with the world
wide spirit of brotherhood of man
seeking expression in action.
Il will be grateful for an oppor-
tunity to have part in such demon
stration, and welcome suggestions
from any source as to how it can
best be DONE"
He foresees that schools, churches,
patriotic organizations, States, mu-
inequalities, and other people gen.
orally will be eager to join in the
greatest period of public rejoicing,
as an outward sign of the inward
grace of rebirth Of hope in human
hearts. The celebration in Wash
ington should be, of "at least a
weeks DURATION" Mr.. Bloom feels
The spiritual significance of a
worldwide celebration appeals es-
pecially to Mr.. Bloom, who suggests
that the proper date would be March
81, the vernal equinox, "the rebirth
of life," at the beginning of spring
