Changes Considered
I'm Two Bills Affecting
Planning Commission
By a stoff Correspondent Of The stor

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 13.-The
Montgomery County delegation to
the General Assembly today was
studying possible changes in two
bills affecting the Maryland-Na-
1ional, Capital Park and Planning
Commission, after a joint meeting
with the Prince George delegation,
at which E. Brooke Lee, commission
vice chairman, strongly opposed
both measures.
The Montgomery group refused to
disclose details of proposed changes,
however, pending formal action by
both delegations.
One of the bills would remove the
building inspectors Office and sub
division control from the planning
commission and place them under
the Montgomery County commits
sioners.
Jurisdiction Narrowed.
Also proposed to be removed from
the planning commissions jurisdic-
ton is it's authority to recommend
the location of airports, highways
and bus stations.
Mr.. Lee, in opposing the bill, said
it would "cut the heart out of the
commission. The Prince Georges
group also expressed opposition to
several of the provisions.
The second bill provides that
members of the planning commits
sion be appointed by the Montgom-
cry and Prince Georges County
Commissioners instead of by the
Governor, as at present.
Little Chance for Bill Seen.
Pointing out that the bill as drawn
stands little chance of passage, Mr..
Lee declared:
"You can't expect a Democrat
Governor and Legislature to return
the power of appointment of Demo-
cratic appointees to a newly elected
Republican Board of County Com
missioners in Montgomery.
The Montgomery delegation sug-
gested an amendment to reduce the
number of planning commission
members from six to five, with two
to be appointed by the Montgomery
County commissioners and two by
the Prince Georges County COM
The fifth member, it
was proposed, would be appointed
by the Governor, and would act as
chairman. In addition, the two
members who would be appointed
from each county would represent
the two major political parties.
Mr.. Lee withheld comment on this
recommendation and no further ac-
ton was taken,

Dairyman Sees Delay
In Deliveries Under
Daylight Saving

Adoption of daylight saving time
by the District might mean resi-
dents would receive day-old milk
from dairy farmers unwilling to get
up an hour earlier" according to
Montgomery County Agent o. W..
Anderson.
A survey of county dairy owners
and employees reveals that prac-
tically everyone in the industry is
content to leave the time situation
just where it is.
1--WE put up with it during the
war because we had to-" declared
Mr.. Anderson, who also is dairy
operator. 1--WE don't have to have
it now.
THE dairy trucks come by in the
morning anywhere from 7 to $50
am. That means that in the sum-
mer most dairymen have to be up
by $3.50 to feed and milk the cows
and get the milk in cans. If the
District went on daylight saving, it
means we'd all have to get up at
2:30 instead of $780,"
Would't Fool With Time"
Clay Plummer, a dairy operator
and dealer in cattle, said he was
100 per cent opposed" to daylight
saving time even if Maryland as
we'll as the District adopts it.
"Fooling with the time" he con-
tinued, "is like hitting a sleeping
dog with a stick. It's better just to
let him lie.
"It's only Government workers
and playboys who want daylight
saving anyhow. All they can think
Of is a little extra time for fun in
the evening. They forget about the
farmers and dairymen whom they
depend on"
There are other reasons for op-
position, according to E. L. Burdette
and other dairymen, who believe
that harvesting is impeded by the
time changes.
when you spread out the hay
in the fields to dry" he said,
you normally have to wait until
maybe 9 am. for the sun to get
hot enough to warm it. If you
postpone that time by another hour,
you can see the amount of time
wasted by your laborers. Daylight
saving or not, your workers are
going home by 6 p.m."
Sets Clock Early Now.
Hamilton Geisbent, dairyman at
Ayrlawn Farms, Brookmont, ad-
mitted he was game for whatever
might come along, but declared he
would really hate to have to set
the alarm clock any earlier than 1t
is now"
He said he believed most dairy
helpers would gladly forego the
extra hour of recreation in the eve
ming to get the extra sleep in the
William r. Rabbit, Middlebrook
dairyman, added his opposition to
the plan.
An almost lone voice raised in
favor of the proposal was that of
Carl Snapp, manager OF one OF the
dairies of Eugene B. Casey of
Gaithersburg.
B'ames Lawmakers.
He asserted: II for one do not
mind getting up a little earlier
in order to have a little more time
in the evening. It's my opinion
that it's the Congressman rather
than the dairymen who don't want
daylight saving. I'm not so sure
anyhow, that such time would mean
that we have to get up earlier.
"It certainly seemed to work
satisfactorily during the war"
Other large dairy operators in
the county including w. Lawson
King and Mr.. Casey, previously
have expressed opposition to the
plan for the District.

ming further conferences this week

have been agreed upon, and their
names will be added to the list

bers are: Renah F. Camalier, Will
bur S. Finch, Woolsey w. Hall,
Jesse B. Manbeck, Joseph G. Nc
Garraghy, Mrs. Louis Gutenberg and
Mrs. Charles H. Weston.
Mr.. kirkland said he had not
announced the conference in ad-
vance because no formal meeting of
the subcommittee had been planned
and because the conference, held
in executive session, was designed
to ascertain if the suggested addi-
tional members of the group met
the technical qualifications of Dis
trict residence and the like. He an
nounced decisions of the subcom-
mittee members shortly after agree
ment was reached.
The text of one rewritten section
also was made public. AS previously
indicated, the group has agreed to-
drop the requirement of the origi-
nal McCarran bill that the charter
commission recommend charter
calling for a manager-city council
form of government
Section Rewritten.
AS rewritten, but apparently still
subject to formal vote, the section
would direct the charter commits
sion to prepare, and transmit to
Congress within one year, mon
partisan government charter" for
Washington which shall provide for
home rule with adequate representa-
ton and recognition of the Federal
interests in the District of Colum-
.bia Government"

tended by Home Rule Chairman
Ball and Senators Buck, Republican
of Delaware, and Holland, Democrat,

mittee member, Senator Johnston,
