ties for information on police trial
boards. After Mr. Lundberg obtains
the information, the committee will

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation last night declared unal-
terable opposition to deviation from
the master zoning plan for Silver
Spring, acting few days before
hearings on proposed changes.
At the same time, the federation
requested the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to prepare annually zoning
map showing where changes have
been granted, in order that the
public may be kept more adequately
Informed of developments.
A resolution on the latter was
adopted after report by Royal H.
Carlock, chairman of the Internal
Improvement Committee. who said
very few people know the coming
regulations or where to find them.
"The public is unable to correlate
the effect of accumulative zoning
changes" he said.
1T can ascertain how much OF
the county is zoned residential G,
commercial D and Industrial E,
but does not know where or how
much or how fast these zones are
being developed for said uses. If
the burden Of proportioning these
areas and keeping them in balance
is to lie on the public, let the pub
lie be informed"
The Silver Spring resolution, in
troduced by Harold E. Wirth OF
the Chevy Chase View Citizens As
sociation, was given immediate at
tention, because of the pending zon-
ing hearings this month. Mr.. Wirth

support of mutual home ownership
at the first general meeting last
night of the community's new hous-
ing corporation.
Speakers, including Miss Dorothy
Thompson, columnist, addressed a
gathering of nearly 800, who were

Deploring the fact that 80 per
cent of the American population
are tenants rather than home
owners, Miss Thompson called for
return of the principle of early New
England home builders who worked
together to make individual owner
ship possible"
"As neighbors, they helped each
other build their houses, realizing
the value of mutual assistance; and
that principle is as sound today as
it ever was," she declared.
"A nation of home owners never
can 60 communistic, but will mark
the advancement of one of the
most democratic factors in this
country"
The speaker added the co-opera-
tive methods would protect equity
in the home and would cost less
than individual purchasing Prop
erty deterioration would be less, as
we'll, under joint ownership plan,
she said.

Lawrence Westbrook, builder OF
mutually owned communities
warned that all Federal housing
projects will be disposed of soon

Chest Agency Debate

The Alexandria Community Chest,
Council of Social Agencies and Alex
andria Ministerial Association, today
issued joint statement calling for
orderly consideration" Of issues In
yolved in the recent controversy over
admission of another sectarian
agency to the Alexandria Conamun-
ity Chest.
It was disclosed last week that
the Alexandria Ministerial Assocla-
ton had criticized admission of the
Catholic Charities of Northern Vir-
ginia into the Chest on the ground
it was a sectarian agency. While
today's statement does not mention
the Catholic Charities by name, it
is referred to as "the latest sectarian
agency to be admitted to the Chest.
In the statement it is brought out
that, although the Ministerial Asso-
citation expressed itself "in opposi-
ton to the inclusion Of sectarian
agencies within the framework OF
the Alexandria Community Chest, 1t
is anxious to help insure the over
subscription of the present cam
paign in order that essential welfare
services may continue to be avail
able for the whole community"
Although the Ministerial Associa.
ton reiterates its opposition to Sec
tartan agencies membership, 1t Ii
brought out that "the relationship
of this chest to the others which
contain sectarian agencies within
the Community Chest Federation.
National Capital Area complicates
the situation, as does the fact that
the membership of other sectarian
or semisectarian agencies in the To-
cal organization must be considered. y
The statement concludes with an
agreement among the three groups
to consider the question through the
duly constituted committees, boards
agencies and associations rather
than by debate through other medi-
ums of public expression ="

Voting Machine Use
In Arlington Urged
|By Electoral Board

The Arlington county ElecJoral
Board, which last night gave tenta-
tive approval to use of voting ma
chimes, will meet again Friday to
formulate detailed recommends
tions, Board Secretary John w.
Jackson said today.
Mr.. Jackson explained that the
county board must not only appro-
pirate funds for the purchase of
machines, but also must approve
their use.
Last nights meeting was a re-
suit of last Tuesdays election, the
complete results of which were not
known until more than 80 hours
after the polls closed. Since then,
a number of county civic and po-
litical groups have called for mod
ernization of the voting procedure.
Mccarthy Asks Restudy.
Judge Walter T. Mccarthy of Ar
lington Circuit Court disclosed last
night that he has asked a special
redistricting commission, which SUBJ
mitted recommendations to him
earlier this year, to give him sec
ond report. The judge said he had
asked the commission to restudy
it's findings In view of last Tuesdays
election.
The commission, comprised oi
State Senator ELECT Charles r. Fen
wick; Ralph Kimble, secretary OF
the Arlington Republican Executive
Committee, and William G. Watt, a
past president of the Arlington Civic
Federation, is scheduled to meet
next week, Mr.. Fenwick said.
The commissions recommendations
included the establishment of -four
additional voting precincts and re-
defining the lines of all precincts
so that each would have a maximum
of 1000 voters. The judge did not
act on the report because of the
number of elections which were tx
be held this year.
Card Index Favored.
In addition to favoring voting ma.
chimes, the Electoral Board last night
approved tentatively installation o1
card index system for lists of regis
tered voters. Such system woulc
replace the bound volumes now in
use and would result in central
ization of records at the boards
Office at the courthouse.
Mr.. jackson explained that under
the proposed system precinct regis
trars would be utilized only on the
days required by State law. kt all
other times, he said, registrations
would be conducted at the central
registrars Office at the courthouse.
Harrison Mann, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee,
and Stephen M. Smith. Republican
campaign chairman, appeared be-
fore the Electoral Board meeting
and asked that voting precincts be
redistricted as soon as possible and
that the use of voting machines be
studied.
Mr.. Mann estimated that $4,000
should be sufficient to purchase
voting machines for the county. He
estimated the cost of each machine
at $1,100. Mr.. Mann said he had
surveyed the used of voting ma
chimes in Montgomery County, Md,
and on the basis of that he be-
lieved two machines per 1000 voters
would meet the county's needs.
A suggestion that ballot boxes be
sealed at the close of voting, de-
livered to the clerk of the court,
and the returns counted the fol-
lowing day, was made by Claude o.
Thomas, former secretary of the
| board,

mates the conflict in the charter
which provides IN one place 80

[other that all laws shall become

Z. Maximum penalty for viola

and costs.
City Attorney Lester said that
his most radical suggestion calls
for elimination of the charter
clause requiring 80 days before
an ordinance Except an emer-
gency or appropriation measure)
goes into effect.
In connection with the tax deed
section, Lester said, There is
nothing in the charter which a
tax deed could stand up under.
We will however try to justify
them somehow in any event by
a cross reference to other cities
or something"
The change regarding the 90
day Imprisonment maximum
penalty for law-breakers was re-
quired because the charter pro-
vides only for a maximum pen
atty of $3.50 fine.
