County, two of the largest apart
ment developments in the District
area, have petitioned OPA to grant
rent increases on a total of 2,315
apartment units, the Alexandria
Arlington Area Rent once disclosed
today.
I. Chance Buchanan, area rent
director, said the two properties were
the largest for which rent increases
have been sought in this area so far.
Both firms base their requests on
the OPA rent provision allowing
increases If landlords are undergoing
substantial hardship
Tenants of Colonial Village, which
has Offices at 1913 Wilson boulevard,
Arlington. have been notified of the
landlords petition and have been
given an opportunity to file indi-
vidual statements in line with OPA
procedure.
Mr. Buchanan said he probably
would determine this week whether
higher rentals were justified for
the 1850 Colonial Village tenants.
The l,255 tenants of Buckingham,
with offices at 313 North Glebe
road, have not yet been notified.
but Mr.. Buchanan said they would
receive notices shortly and also be
given an opportunity to file indivi-
dual statements.
In case increases are granted,
tenants will be notified by OPA, MIR.
Buchanan said. If the requests are
denied, the landlords will be in
formed, and they then may request
a review of the case by the OPA
regional rent Office in Atlanta.
Under a section of the OPA rent
regulations, landlord may petit
tion for rent increase when a
substantial hardship has resulted
from substantial decrease in the
net income, before interest Of the
property for the current year, as
compared with the representative
period prior to the maximum rent
date, due to substantial and un-
avoidable increases in property

Montgomery Studies
Request for Builder
On New Code Board

The Montgomery County COM
missioners today we're studying a re-
quest by D. E. Gingery, representing
the County Home Builders Asso-
citation, for the appointment of a
builder on a proposed board to hear
appeals from standards governing
road construction in new subdivi-
sions.
The standards we're adopted in a
preliminary form by the commits
sioners two weeks ago but no ap-
peals board has been established
pending the approval of a more
comprehensive list.
In making his request at the COM
missioners' meeting yesterday in
Rockville, Mr.. Gingery said prob
lens will come up such as the ques-
tion of sidewalks in Rollingwood
which only a builder can understand
or solve.
Mr.. Gingery also recommended
that members OF the appeals board
be paid, adding that the board will
be self-sustaining as a result of fees
to be charged against those bringing
cases before 1t. He claimed that If
the members are not paid the board
will be able to get only incompetent
persons" to serve on it.
He suggested that the appeals
board be the final authority with
further recourse available only tc
the courts.
The commissioners also took under
advisement. a request by Oliver
Walker, member of the Board Of
zoning Appeals, for the employ
ment of cerk. He pointed out thai
the work of the board is increasing
constantly and that some one is
needed to perform clerical work.
Permits were granted Mrs. N. M
Sinclair to use property on Metro

rest home and to Miss Ella C. Saun-

COP Backs Vote
On 0nMontgonnery
Charter Plan
Charges Democrats
Are Opposed to
Free Expression

Leslie G. Aries, chairman of the
Montgomery County Republican
Campaign Committee. today said
county Republicans, while unable to
indorse the charter form of govern
ment for the county as a party,
nevertheless favor a vote on the
subject.
His statement follows action of the
county commissioners yesterday in
refusing to nominate slate of can
didates for the five posts on the
charter board.
Earlier in the week Democratic
leaders declared their opposition to
the charter form of government.
The Democratic county congress will
meet at 8 pm. Tuesday in the Be-
thesda Chevy Chase High School.
Mr.. Aries statement follows:
THE Republican party in Mont
gomery County stands solidly be-
hind the theory that the people
in the county have the right to
choose by ballot the form of govern
ment most desirable to them. Each
COP candidate has indorsed this
doctrine.
1T is clear that the leaders of
the Democratic organization are
against the free expressions of vot-
ers by proposing that the Democratic
County Congress declare its oppo-
s1tion to the reconsideration of the
establishment of a charter form of
government, and, according to the
newspapers, to continue to oppose
any groups, charter or otherwise,
which would deprive our citizens of
direct, representative government.
They do not even want the ques-
ton put before the people again.
They don't want the thousands of
voters OF this county to express
themselves yea or nay on this ques-
tion.
Democratic organization candi-
dates, Campaign Committee men,
bers and precinct leaders declare
the Charter Committees plan to
substitute the charter form of gov
eTnment in the county for the pres
ent provisions of State and county
law will strike down both the two
party system of electing local
officials and the primary elections
system of nominating local officials
in favor of an improved and untried
experimental and visionary form OF
government
In answer to this, the local Re-
publican leaders maintain that one.
man rule in this county has already
siphoned the very sap of the two
party system from this county.
THE Democratic party, while
steadfastly maintaining its desire
for direct representative govern
ment, has categorically transferred
the functions of locally elected Of
fcials to governor appointed boards
and the county commissioners
The spokesmen of the Democratic
organization are not consistent In
their outlooks.
While the Republicans do not, as
a political party, indorse charter
we believe that the people have the
right to vote for or against this
form of government, however many
times the question may arise.
The Republicans will fight for
the right of free expression, will
fight against one man rule in Mont
gomery County"

Heads Of Two States
To Celebrate Finish
OF Pocomoke Project

The Governors Of Maryland and
Delaware and officials of the Mary
land Extension Service and the
United States Agriculture Depart
ment will take part next Wednesday
in ceremonies marking the compile
ton in Maryland of the Pocomoke
River drainage project, which has
been under way for the last six
years.
The drainage project, which agri-
cultural experts say will make pos
sible better crops on about $1,000
acres in Maryland, was approved in
1899 when $4,000 was appropriated
by Wicomico and Worcester Coun-
ties and $4,000 by the State.
The project has shortened the
Pocomoke River about IA miles from
tidewater to the Chesapeake Bay.
1t also has lowered the water table,
improving $4,000 acres of tillable
land and reclaiming $1,000 addi-
ton acres that formerly was un-
ploughed.
Completion of the project makes
possible, officials said, the clearing
of IL tributaries totaling 200 miles.
Engineers estimate that about q
year of improved crops will repay a
farmer the cost of draining his own
fields, while agricultural experts say
land values may rise as much as Is
per cent in the area Earlier drying
OF the soil also will lengthen the
growing seasons about 40 days, it
was said.
The Pocomoke drainage project
was originally started in 184O when
the Maryland Legislature authorized
lottery to provide $4,000 for the
project. Men worked with hand
shovels for time, until the project
finally was stopped in 1870. Work
again was undertaken in 1889 when
the Wicomico and Worcester Coun-
ty Commissioners approved a mod
ern plan for clearing the river
channel
In addition to Gov. O'Conor of
Maryland and Gov. Bacon of Della
ware, others who will attend the
ceremonies, to be held near Gum
boro, Del, shortly after noon, will
be DR.. Hugh Bennett, chief of the
Soil Conservation Service; DR.. H. c..
Byrd, president of the University
of Maryland, and DR.. T. B. Symons,
director of the Maryland Extension
Service.

Navy 10 Ask Congress
For Airport al Annapolis
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

One of the first things the Navy
will ask the Eightieth Congress to do
is to authorize an airport at An
napolis for the Naval Academy.
A Navy Department spokesman
said yesterday an Academy airport
bill "is on our priority list of legis-
lation for the next Congress" which,
barring a special session, will meet
in January.
Chairman Walsh of the Senate
Naval Affairs Committee said the
Navy had hoped to get started on
the project this year to assure the
readiness for use of the airport in
1948."
But legislation authorizing the
Secretary of the Navy to go ahead
with the plans died without action
in the closing days of the last ses-
sion of Congress. 1t was approved
unanimously by the Senate but the
House never got around to consid-
