Bill Calls for War DAMAGES
To SoIomons Island, Md.

Residents have had to take desper-
ate measures.
More than the continued am
phibious landing caused the trouble,
Mrs. Goldstein said.
The Nays mine testing station
is nearby. Across the Patuxent, the
Navy built its big experimental air
station, where jet planes now fly al
most every day. The water is deep
at the confluence of the Patuxent
and the Chesapeake, so there were
dig warships coming and going al
most continuously, kicking up a big
wash that ate into the shoreline.
In similar resolution, Mr.. Gold
stein also asked money to save an
estimated $780, 600 worth of homes
and business buildings he said are
threatened by erosion farther north
in Calvert County. between Chesa-
peake and North Beaches.

Increase in Arlington
Spending Reported

The Arlington County government
is spending money faster this fiscal
year than it did in the 1856 period,
John Locke Green, county treasurer,
said today.
Mr.. Green said $2,439,923 had
been collected by December 5 out
of a total real estate and personal
property tax levy amounting to ST.
729, ,844. This is slightly less pro-
portionately than the 1945 collec-
tion when the total levy was ST.
489,812, he said
Bank deposits at the end of 1946
were $3,120,611.44, out of which $685.
772 was due to the State on income
and intangible taxes.
On December 81, 1945, Mr.. Green
said, bank deposits amounted to
$2,878, $1,000, exclusive of State
funds.
Meanwhile, he reported, 27,807 poll
taxes were paid through December
81. Pointing to this as the largest
number ever paid in one year, he
predicted that a record breaking
IS, 600 poll taxes would be paid by
May 8, the deadline to qualify for
voting in the November election.

Steamship Men Push
Fight on Proposed
Sandy Point Airport
BY the Asseeiofsd Press

+ BALTIMORE, Jan. 23.-Ihe
Steamship Trade Association OF
Baltimore was making study today
to support its contention that the
Naval Academy's proposed Sandy
Point airport would be menace to
navigation"
E. Arch Seidl, president, said the
association has solicited the aid Of
the Maryland delegation in Con-
gress to block the academy's move.
He said factual information Is being
assembled to prove the airport would
be "a very serious menace to life
and free navigation"
"The navigable water between
Sandy Point Light and Kent Island
is but 2 nautical miles in width
and is the narrowest point in the
Chesapeake Bay below Craighill
Channel" Mr.. Seidl said.
~The Old Bay Line vessels pass
this point twice daily in all weather
at around dusk and dawn and car
ried during the last year an average
of 800 passengers per sailing" he
said.
"A collision between highly in
fiammable aircraft and one Of these
vessels would result in a major
catastrophe.
Newly constructed and newly re-
paired vessels use this area south
of the channel entrance for their
bay trial runs" he added.
The association also is perturbed
that the projected airport would
not only be used for "familiarizing
young and inexperienced Navy per-
sonnel" with aircraft, but that
present day heavy sea and land
planes, supersonic and Jet propelled,
radio controlled missiles and air
craft, as well as all imaginable de-
vices of the future must be reckoned
with" Mr.. Seidl said.

Silver Spring Tax Increase
For Fire Department Asked

Enabling legislation for an in
crease from 6 to 10 cents per 500
assessed valuation in the Silver
Spring area, fire tax is sought by
the Silver Spring Volunteer Fire
Department.
Dana B. Johannes, president, said
a bill will be sent to the Mont
gomery County delegation within a
few days. 1t has received the ap-
proval of number of organizations,
he reported.
The fire department, Mr. Johannes
explained, is now utilizing all funds
received from the present levy.
Although the department is plan
ming to expand its facilities, the an
maui budgets submitted to the
County Commissioner may not al
ways necessitate the full Accent in
crease, he said.
1t is hoped to start construction
of branch firehouse at Four Cor
ners in the near future, Mr.. Johan-
mes said. Later plans call for
branches in the Montgomery Hills
and Rock Greek Forest sections.

Maryland Senate Bill
Passed TO Abrogate
Virginia Oyster Pact
BY the Associaied Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. "a
Maryland's State Senate, admitting
it cared to wait no longer upon a
Virginia delegation, took the bit in
it's teeth and passed bill saying
that hereafter Maryland may prose-
cute any and all Virginians ac-
cused of illegal oystering in the
Potomac River.
The bill went over to the House
where there was strong movement
to get it passed and on its way to
Gov. Lane today.
Final action would abrogate part
of a 162-year-old pact under which
Virginia citizens arrested by Mary
land officials on oyster law charges
are tried in Virginia courts.
150-Year- Old Plant.
During more than century and
a half, the Maryland plaint has al
ways been that Virginians are ar
rested and sent home for punish
ment but do not get punished-at
least not very much.
In Richmond, Gov. Tuck said he
had informed Gov. Lane yesterday
that if he were given any evidence
that Virginians are violating oyster
ing laws in the Potomac River "he
will see that they are prosecuted y
While ordinarily I would not
comment on legislation pending in
another State, I don't believe such
legislation is in the public interest,
and the passage of such legislation
would tend to mar the pleasant and
cordial relations which have con-
tinued to exist between the good
people of Maryland and Virginia,
Gov. Tuck stated.

cries Commission has announced it

ment craft augmented by an air.
plane-to begin an immediate drive
on illegal oyster fishermen and see
that they get the full penalty of the
law.
The Potomac divides the Free
State and Old Dominion but the
oyster control is all Maryland's.
The Senate had the measure up
for final action Wednesday but re-
turned it to committee upon re-
quest of Majority Leader Sothoron
of Prince Georges County, who said
Virginia members of the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac Basin
wanted to present their views.
Acts After Phone Call.
Yesterday Chairman Goldstein of
the Senate Committee on the
Chesapeake Bay and Tributaries re-
ceived a telephone call that the
Virginia delegation could not be
here for a scheduled hearing.
Senator Goldstein suggested they
take up with Gov. Lane any future
arrangements.
AS the Senate session opened,
Senator Goldstein moved to bring
the bill back for passage, saying:
1--WE have tried to treat the Vir-
ginians courteously. I feel that we
have given them ample time to ex-
press themselves on this matter.
His motion was seconded by Sen
ator Sothoron.
The Senate Immediately suspend
ed its rules and passed the measure
without a dissenting vote.

From "can-opener jail" to one

the country is the history of the
District Jail during the past year.
Last year a series of jailbreaks
was climaxed by the escape OF Earl
MacFarland and Joseph D. Medley,
Congress ordered thorough investl-
CATION OF conditions at the penal
institution and its management. The
result was the dismissal Of Howard
B. Gill as superintendent OF penal
institutions and the transfer OF the
Jail and other penal institutions
from the jurisdiction of the Board
of Public Welfare to the new De-
partment of Corrections.
Donald Clemmer, attached to the
Federal Bureau of Prisons and de-
tailed to Atlanta Penitentiary, was

ment. One of the first things he
did was change the entire system
at the penal institutions and pattern
them after the Federal plan.

Park and Planning Commission to-
day announced its adoption, "for the
general public welfare" Of a master
zoning plan for the central business
district and adjacent area of Sill
YER Spring.
The plan adopted recommends
commercial Zoning on the east
side of Fenton street-a proposal
bitterly opposed by organizations
and residents at a public hear
ing on the plan, January a.
and at rezoning hearings before the
County Commissioners last month
Adoption of the master plan by
the planning group will serve as a
guide for the County Commission
ers, but it does not constitute re-
coming In itself. The final decision
is reserved for the county board.

Opposition to commercial recon-
ing east of Fenton street has CEN
tered principally on recommended
ton of. the commission that part OF
the land it owns at the rear of the
Silver Spring armory be zoned COM
mercial. Opponents contend that
the entire plot should be kept in

nifty purposes as. originally planned,
A slight change made by the COM
mission in the. master zoning map
shows the present site Of the Hecht
Building at Fenton street and Ellis

cial. This zoning was authorized by
the County Commissioners in 1914.
In making its decision, the COM
mission said it has made studies
of the land use requirements of the
Silver Spring section since the first
zoning map was suggested for pub
lie study in February, 1945. The
map was amended in February, 1916
receiving at that time the general
approval of the Silver Spring Board
of Trade and the Allied Civic
Groups of Silver Spring. 1t was
amended again December II, 1916
to include several parcels east OF
Fenton street, including the armory
lot.
Highway Rezoning is Asked.
The commission also announced
it has requested Director of Plan
ming Fred w. Tuemmler to have
members of the planning staff pro-
duce as soon as possible master
zoning and highway plans for Mac
Arthur boulevard, Georgia avenue
from Silver Spring through Brooke
vile, and the Colesville road from
Silver Spring through Ashton.
1t was stipulated, however, that
priority be given work already re-
quested on the master zoning plar
for the Rockville pike and the high

He saw the need for the use OF
towers to command a view Of the
Jail yard and building and system
of high wire fencing. Both projects
have been half finished and, accord
ing to Col. Curtis Reed, superinten-

in about two months.
There will be two towers which
command a view of all sides Of the
Jail, and two wire fences about Is
feet apart. The inside wire fence
will be 10 feet high and the outer
fence, IL feet high. Both fences
