0'Conor Commends
Legislators on Voting
7 Penal Reform Bills
Measures Expected
To Eliminate 'Trogie'
Phases Of Stote System
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 19.-The Mary
land General Assembly, reconveninl
today after the weekend recess
was commended today by. Gov
O'Conor for its passage of two
penal reform bills.
The measures, providing for in.
determinate sentences and a re.
Mobilization program, were termed 9
'real forward STEP"
Cow O'Conor said they would
make available to Maryland offend
ers benefits proven through the
experience of other States with such
laws.
He declared that one of the tragic
phases of the States penal system
had been the necessity of mixing
youthful offenders with hardened
criminals who often turned the
youths thoughts from reform into
criminal channels.
Removal of this defect was ex-
pected to be a consequence of the
enactmentsof the new laws, he con-
tinued.
Under PROVISIONS of these two
bills, youthful offenders of Is to 26
years of age may be, at the judges
discretion, sent to the reformatory
for males at Roxbury under a pos
sible maximum sentence which could
be modified when the offenders
good conduct and efforts toward
rehabilitation justify such condi-
tional release.
by the same token, women could
be committed to the women's re-
formatory at Jessups on similar
basis, under a system whereby their
releases would depend on their prog
ress toward rehabilitation"
Gov. O'Conor said he felt conf
dent that many thousands of Of
tenders could be reclaimed through
the measures,

Alexandra Council
10 Get New Protest
On Rezoning Plan
Sixth Word Residents
To Fight Approval
Of industrial Project

Residents of Alexandria's Sixth
Ward will attend the City Council
meeting tomorrow night to renew
their protest against rezoning to e
industrial of a 12A acre tract on
the east side of highway No. east
OF the Washington & Old Dominion
Railroad right Of way.
Among the protestants will be
Yeoman Second Glass; George
Giammittorio, 313 Calvert avenue,
who recently returned from the Pa
cific on 30-day fourlough to find
the prospect of an industrial de-
velopment adjacent to his home.
Residents of the area said the
council had not given SUFFICIENT no.
tice before it granted, on February
20, the request of John Mcpherson,
Washington contractor to rezone the
tract to permit establishment of a
large industrial development.
Says Master Plan Approved.
Mr.. Giammittorio pointed out that
the council had expressed approval
of the master coming plan presented
by the Planning Commission Janu-
airy a. which calls for row houses on
that property with small strip of
d., or light commercial coming, on
the highway side of the tract.
Leroy Peabody, chairman of the
Planning Commission. said last
night that the Council which had
requested the plan for the north
west section of the city, had taken
no action.
IF the plan had been adopted
when we completed it, this Sixth
Ward rezoning could never have
happened" Mr. Peabody said, adj
ding, lone of the things the Plan
ming Commission hoped to avoid
was spot coming and rezoning with
out carful consideration of the OVER
all picture of the neighborhood."
Previous Protest Registered.
A few Sixth Ward residents ap-
peared before the Council when Mr..
McPherson's request was granted,
but said at the time that a large
delegation would have appeared if
the proposed rezoning had been
properly advertised.
| The following week a large group
attended the Council meeting to
register protests, but was told no
| further action could be taken until
80 days after the property was re-
zoned. This deadline will be tomor-
! row
