Hearing on Doctors
Plan 70 Build Clinic

Falls Church residents will have
a chance to express their views on
whether a group Of doctors will be
permitted to establish clinic on
the Westcott tract at East Broad
and holland streets.
Plans for a public hearing, to be
held soon, were drawn UP at q

ming Commission last week after

uel Newman Of Falls Church asked
the commission to approve plans to
build clinic costing approximately

Newman.
Specifically, the medical men ask
the commission to rezone the flve-
acre tract from residential LA to
residential 1-B, which would permit
construction Of the medical center.
Although the commission did not
express itself formally, indications
were that should it favor the project,
it would ask the Board Of Zoning
Appeals to retain the la classif1ca-
ton but grant a variance in this
particular case.
The commission decided on a
hearing to sample the sentiment OF
the townSpeople and especially those
landowners In the immediate vi
cinity.
A letter to the Mayor from D.
Russell Armentrout said he was
resigning from the planning COM
mission. Mr.. Armentrout has served
on the commission since its reor-
ganization early last year.
The commission voted to recon-
mend that the Beard of Zoning Ap-
peals grant a variance to permit
Thomas Woods to construct a busi-
ness building for five stores on
West Broad street and West street.
The recommendation to the Board
of Zoning Appeals carried q con-
dition that Mr.. Woods provide
space for the parking of at least
20 cars.
The commission deferred action
until next week on the application
OF Mandley T. Rust to construct q
24-unit apartment building at the
rear Of his store on Broad street

On Tax Changes
Letter CongrotuIotes
Sherbow Commission
On 'NotobIe' Report
BY the A.,oeio,sd Press

, BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.-William
Preston Lane, jr, Democratic gu
bernatorial nominee, today sug-
gested to Gov. O'Conor that they
take immediate steps toward trans
lating into law sweeping tax
changes suggested this week by the
Sherbow Commission on Revenue
Distribution.
Mr.. Lanes letter to the Governor
was released at his campaign head
quarters.
The commission on distribution Of
tax revenues on Wednesday re-
ported to the Governor on long
study it made of the States tax
structure. Its proposals would in
crease distribution Of revenue to
Baltimore City and the States %
counties-by more than $4,000 600
If they had been in effect last year.
Mr.. Lane recommended the group
headed by Judge Joseph Sherbow
continue its work long enough to
supervise drafting Of constitutional
amendments and legislative acts
necessary to carry out its proposals.
Offers Congratulations.
He wrote the Governor that the
report lis notable contribution to
the studies and plans to improve
the States fiscal policies, so as to
enable it to develop and increase
the values of its facilities and sserv-
ices for the benefit of all the people.
"You and your commission are to
be congratulated for producing this
carefully considered chart Of the
proper course for the State to pur-
sue in order to produce the best
possible results.
However, it is obvious that the
recommendations, no matter how
sound, will be empty gestures un-
less they are translated into legisla-
ton and put into operation"
Mr.. Lane said he had been plan
ming to put Deputy Attorney Gen.
eral Hall Hammond in charge of q
committee Of lawyers to draw up
legislation carrying out planks Of
the Democratic Party's State plat
form.
Separate Handling.
Mr.. Hammond is the Democratic
candidate for Attorney General. Mr..
Lane had wanted him to have the
legislation ready for introduction in
the General Assembly soon after it
meets In January
Mr.. Lane said today he thought
the new laws necessary to carry out
the Sherbow Commissions propos-
ais should be handled separately
with the commission either doing
the work or supervising.
1.-THE candidate indicated that II
Il is satisfactory with the Governor,
he would like to line up a group to
write or help write the new bills
under the commissions guidance.
re suggested Mr.. Hammond might
b a member Of this group rather
than accept the chore originally in-
tended.
Hopes for Promptness.
'T hope it will be feasible to or
ganize this work promptly" he
said. He proposed it be finished SO
the Legislative Council and mem
bers of the General Assembly can
study the bills before the law
makers convene.
"If public sentiment in favor Of
the report is sufficiently aroused,
satisfactory legislation ought to be
enacted in the coming session, no
matter what the results of the elec-
tions."
Mayor Theodore r. McKeldin of
Baltimore, Mr.. Lanes Republican
opponent in the November elec-
tions, has Endorsed the Sherbow
Commission report.

Maryland Told
Oyster Compact
Should Be Ended
Unlawful Dredging
On Virginio's Shores
Is Given as Reason
BY the A.soeioted Pres.


BALTIMORE, Oct. 5.--A report
to the States Legislative Council
suggested today Maryland might
well seek to break her 1785 compact
with Virginia covering fishing rights
In the Potomac River.
The report said the compact was
being used to cloak illegal oyster
dreging on the lower reaches of the
river. This is the latest chapter in
Z long squabble between the States
over conservation practices.
Edwin Warf1eld, jr., chairman Of
the State Tdewater Fisheries Com
mission, told the Legislative Council
Wednesday. that Virginia officials
had been lax in enforcing oyster
laws.
"Scraping Fleet" Blamed.
Today's report estimated over 81
per cent of the Potomac'S 1944-45
oyster production was dredged IL
legally. It laid the blame prin-
cipally on a fleet of go oyster boats
operating from the Virginia shore
familiarly known as "The Virginia
Scraping Fleet" A third of its
boats, the report estimated, are
owned by Maryland oystermen-who
thus escape 2-cents per bushel
Maryland tax-and the other two
thirds by Virginians.
Mr.. Warfield's commission re-
Gently bought an airplane and was
authorized to employ q pilot for in
tensifying its patrols.
Maryland owns the Potomac right
up to the Virginia shoreline and the
report to the Legislative Council
traced the history of fishing priv
ileges since the original compact
in i785.
Trade of Privileges.
Virginia up to that time charged
tolls for passage of Maryland ves-
sells through the Virginia capes. In
the compact, Maryland traded of
equal fishing rights in the Potomac
for free passage through the capes.
Adoption of the Federal Corstitu-
ton in 1889 ended Virginia's toll
privileges, but the fishing rights
granted by Maryland continued.
In 1884, the two States agreed
that citizens of either State charged
with fishing law violations should
be tried in their own courts.
Mr.. Warfield told the Legislative
Council Wednesday this agreement
handicapped Maryland enforcement
Of conservation measures. The re-
port says 1t may no longer be bind
ing. It was dropped by error when
the 1945 Legislature revised Mary
land oyster laws.
Beyond Officials.
The report indorses. the stand of
an unnamed State odicial 1t quotes
as saying: ss.s.-r
Maryland is carrying the burden
of enforcement and of conservation
in the Potomac, while organized and
systematic violations Of the oyster
laws are based on the Virginia
shore" -4.ss,sg = ~
In another section. the report says
Virginia officials have Admitted
frankly that the situation is beyond
them because of the overwhelming
sentiment in the Virginia Tidewater
counties against any rigid enforce
ment Of the Potomac River oyster
laws"
As the result, says the report. seri-,
Gus inroads are being made on the
valuable resource.
High seafood prices during the war
years, it continues, have turned oys-
ter dredging into a profitable trade
although the two State Legislatures
in 1881 passed concurrent laws for
bidding 1t.
A Maryland proposal for a joint
conservation and enforcement COM.
mission was rejected in January by
Virginia.

ORGANIZATIONS OPPOSE
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

During this month, March 1916,
an effort was made in the Rainier
District to establish a Restrictive
Covenant, the purpose of which
was to keep the Negroes from es-
tablishing homes in that area.
The quick action by the Urban
League, Quakers, c + n
Friends for Racial Equality and
others, brought together suffi-
Client number of democratically-
minded people to forestall the
Covenant.
This illustrates the need of a
ready phone list of key people,
who can bring about the quick re-

been operative on March 18th, the
