Is in Trailer Camp
Defy Custer Notice,
Assert They'll Stay

In the face of oral instructions
to vacate Hillside Trailer Park in
Prince Georges County this after
noon about rs residents proposed
to stay where they are and see what
happens.
Charles L. Wood, sanitary engi-
neer for the county Health Depart
ment, said a 24-hour eviction notice
given occupants of the camp at 5000
Marlboro Pike, one mile out Of the
District, would definitely stand"
The residents said they would
not move.
We're just squatters," said one.
We'll stay"
Mr.. Wood said the camp has been
under question for approximately
two years because of alleged I'M
sanitary conditions. About eight
weeks ago. he said, the trailer park
operator, Fred Sparer, was ordered
to turn in his license and the place
was ordered closed November l.
Legality of Notice Denied.
Some occupants said they had re-
ceived hand written notices from
Mr.. Sparer, dated September II, in
forming them they must leave by
November l, when light and water
connections would be cut. Bat they
declared they had consulted law
yer who said the notice was not
legal or binding.
Charles Hoyle, owner OF the
property, said Mr. Spsrer leased it
from him and that the latter be-
came dissatisfied when he declined
to give him long-term lease. AS
consequence, Mr.. Sparer left Sun
day, he said.
Mr.. Hoyle and various camp oc-
cupahts declared the park is cleaner
now than it ever has been.
Blame Denied.
c. M. Benson, who said his family
had been living on the place for
about year, declared the occupants
could not be blamed for the way
the place had been managed. Mr..
Hoyle, the owner, said ne could not
be blamed, since he had never re-
ceived any notice of unsanitary or
unsatisfactory conditions.
Most OF the residents live in sta
ionary trailers, which have no
wheels or have no automobiles for
towing.
We'll stay" said one, because
we cannot move and because we
have nowhere to 90"

Bigger Maryland Crop
Seen in Conservation

Maryland farmers easily could
produce a million bushels Of corn
more than their normal crop next
year, according to John Cotton, ex-
tension soil conservationist of the
University of Maryland.
Universal adoption of contour
planting throughout the State
would effect the increase without
overtaxing soil resources and would
help farmers maintain an increased
production demanded by world food
shortages, he said.
A survey of Maryland farmers
who already are contour blowing
and planting showed that the prac-
tice has increased yields by an av-
erage of Is per cent, the soil ex-
pert reported. The increase, he
said, is attributable chiefly to in
creased moisture retained in con-
tour-ploughed ground. This type Of
planting also prevents soil erosion,
he pointed out.
Mr.. Cotton also recommended. to
increase and maintain soil fertility,
the following measures: Contour
strip-cropping, terracing, pasture
management, cover crops, drainage
and contour pasture burrows.

Prince Georges Suit
On Property Transfer
Goes 10 Appeals Court
BY the Asseeioted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. IA. The
Maryland Court OF Appeals yester-
day considered a plea by Phillips n.
Clarke of Washington an Vincent c.
Tompkins, jr., of Norfolk, Va, to
REQUIRE the sale of certain land in
the West Lanham and West Lam
ham Hills section of Prince Georges
County.
Judge Charles c. Marbury in the
county court had. refused to order
Mr.. and Mrs. Henry M. Brunk OF
Harrisonburg, Va, who owned most
of the property, and other residents
to comply with an agreement made
in 1941.
Mr.. Clarke and Mr.. Tompkins de-
clared there has been mo substan-
tial change" in conditions since they
contracted to purchase lots in West
Lanham Hills at $515 apiece and In
West Lanham at $3.50, with an ad-
ditional option to acquire unsubdi-
yided land in West Lanham Hills
for $4,000.
Delaying Action Charged.
Defendants included persons who
later had obtained lots in the area,
as well as the Prince Georges Bank
g. Trust Co., Inc, and the West
Lanham Citizens Association, Inc.
They charged Mr.. Clarke and Mr..
Tompkins with delaying action from
September, 1912, until February
1947, when they filed the complaint
In Prince Georges County. During
that period they contended the
value of the property has increased
enormously"
The lower courts decision should
be upheld, they added, in view OF
1.-The apparent fact that the appel
lants were specializing with this
property"
Separate Brief Filed.
A separate brief was filed for
Frederick x. Wilson, William Bowie
and the Prince Georges Bank 81
Trust Co., who argue the action
sought by Mr.. Clarke and Mr.. Tomp-
kins lis barred by their long, unex-
planned delay in seeking relief"
They also asserted Mr.. Clarke and
Mr.. Tompkins now make an UNI
considerable, demand =. = " which, II
granted, would take more than
500 900 from innocent persons who
are responsible for the improve
ments which now exist.
Mr.. Clarke and Mr.. Tompkins
asked monetary damages for alleged
contract breaches If the court found
transfer of the property under the
original terms "impracticable."

Falls Church Unit Told
Cost Of Land SOUGHT
As School Has Risen

Recent rezoning of land on Lee
boulevard outside of Falls Church
to permit construction of multiple
family dwellings has raised the
value of the land, part of which is
sought for school site, from $4,000
to $4,000 an acre, the Falls Church
Town School Board was told last
night.
The statement was made by G. T.
Reeves. who is member of botn
the town and county school boards.
Mr.. Reeves, real estate man. who
has been handling some of the
negotiations for new school sites
for the County School Board, told
the meeting that the County School
Board had been negotiating with
the Tyler Park Corp. which recently
purchased a large acreage on Lee
boulevard on the outskirts of Falls
Church.
At the time of the original nego-
tiations, Mr.. Reeves said, the land
was zoned for single residences and
was valued at approximately $4,000
an acre. He added that as result
of rezoning of the land by county
authorities for multiple housing, the
owners of the land now want ap-
proximately $4,000 an acre, which is
more than the School Board feels
1t can pay.
Mr.. Reeves told the board that
there has not been enough CO.
operation among county authorities
in this matter of rezoning land
AS a result of Mr.. Reeves dis
closure, the Town School Board
went on record as demanding that
the County School Board obtain a
new building site in the Falls
Church area Immediately.
The board also passed a motion
urging the County School Board
to consider employing some one to
plan a school building program for

To Help Defray Expenses.
Tuition money will go into the
Board of Education treasury to help

CART reported. The reciprocal move,
in answer to a decision by District
school officials to make outsiders

apply to students who were enrolled
in county schools last year.
The school board also announced
the appointment of eight new teach
ers, bringing the total number OF
new or replacement teachers this
year to 1856.
New teachers in schools for white

from the Sunnybrook Citizens AS
ISOLATION OF Bladensburg, consented
to- use of d small portion Of the site
for the proposed new Bladensburg
High School for playground and
recreation facilities. The board
stipulated, however, that no lease
on the property shall be turned over
to the subdivision and that no
buildings be erected on the property
until the location of the new school
is determined. The land adjoins

place of one scheduled for next
