Smith Hits Plan 10 Curb
Planners Authority

The Montgomery County legis-
lative delegations proposals to
strip the Maryland-N National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commits
sion of most of it's authority was
attacked yesterday by J. Bond
fSmith as a reversal of funda-
mental planning principles.
Mr.. Smith is general counsel
for the commission and chairman
of the Montgomery County DEM
ocratic State Central Committee.
Bills were introduced Monday
at Annapolis to shift most of
the planning commissions au-
thority to the new County Council.
Such reversal of fundamental
planning principles would surely
be detrimental to the people and
the further progress of Mont
gomery County," Mr.. Smith as
serted. Il doubt that it is actually
desired by any except the most
partisan leaders of the organiza-
ton whose county commissioners
have just been voted out Of Of

Mr.. Smith said a statement ex-

emphasizes the complete de-
struction which the local delegates
plan for all of the bi-county
planning and other services Of

Highway zoning Bill
Due for Early Action
BY @ stoff Correspondent Of The Star

OILS, Feb. 1S.-The
House of Delegates Judiciary Com
mittee is expected to act within a
week on the controversial bill
which would authorize the State
Roads Commission to zone heavily
Travelled highways.
This was announced yesterday
by Chairman Melnicove after a
two-hour hearing attended by
approximately 400 persons, most
of whom were from rural areas.
Under the bill, sponsored by the
Maryland Legislative Council, the
commission would decide what
could be built on land to a depth
of 200 feet on each side of high
ways having a daily traffic count
of at least 1000 vehicles.
Existing Structures Exempted.
Existing structures as we'll as
roadside stands for the sale of
farm products would not be
affected. nor would access roads
to adjoining property. Counties
having zoning laws and incorpo-
rated towns also would be ex-
empted.
Arguments by supporters of the
measure that it was necessary for
scenic and safety purposes were
met by heated claims from the
opponents that the bill would per-
NIT the commission to take land
from farmers without any COM
penSation.

Temporary Buildings
Sought in Fairfax TO
Ease School Crowdinq

Purchase of temporary buildings
to ease overcrowded classrooms in
Fairfax County will be considered
in connection with the 1949-50
school budget, the county School
Board has disclosed.
Quonset huts already are being
used at some schools. Last night
School Board Chairman F. w.
Robinson told a delegation from
the Dunn Loring nt-Teacher
Association some type of tempo
rary construction" will have to be
considered to be financed out of
general operating expenses until
there Is money available for new
school construction"
The PTA group was told that
while a school building program
has been prepared, the State Lit
erary Loan fund, from which the
board formerly borrowed, is de-
pleted. A proposed bond issue also
is tied up because of legal ques-
tions involving the right of Falls
Church residents to participate in
a referendum since the municipal
ity became a second-class city.
The Dunn Loring parents ex-
pressed concern over double shifts
now required in first and second
grades and warned that. as the
students are promoted. double
shifts will have to be extended
into higher grades unless more
classroom space is available.
Meanwhile, it was decided to
invite the Governors Commits
sion on Taxation and Expendi-
lures to visit Fairfax County to
view the overcrowded school
situation.
The board voted to ask the
Government to pay public edu-
cation expenses of all children
living on Federal reservations, in
stead Of the expenses of only
children Of military or civil serv-
ice personnel.
Supt. of Schools w. T. Woodson
said there are 70 children from
Fort Belvoir in county schools
whose expenses are not paid by
the Government. Fort Belvoir
land is exempt from county taxa
ton and therefore county tax
payers must pay for the education
of these children, he said.
Replying to charges that some
county Negro children travel more
than 100 miles day to attend the
Regional High School at Manassas,
Assistant Supt. Of Schools j. r.
Rice reported the authorized route
of the school bus for Negroes is
only 81 miles one way. He said
the driver had made several un-
authorized deviations from the
route to accommodate two stu
dents, making the one-way trip
40 miles. Board members said the
bus should travel only the author
lied route.

Hatch Act Exemptions
For Federal Employees
Are Sought in Fairfax

Efforts to exempt Federal en-
ployes living in Fairfax County
from provisions of the Hatch Act
which limits political activity, are
being made by the Fairfax County
Civic Federation.
Harold j. Ward, former presi-
dent. told representatives of II
civic groups at the federation S
meeting last night that support OF
the move is being sought from
legislators and local officials. The
federation also will ask the Civil
Service Commission to permit
Federal employees to serve on the
County Board of Supervisors and
the various county commissions.
Falls Church, Vienna, Herndon
and Clifton. Mr.. Ward said, al
ready obtained the exemption. A
similar request by the county was
denied in 1912.
Increases in utility rates could
be fought by expert" If Govern
ment employees could serve on the
Public Utilities Commission, he
added.
A committee was authorized to
meet with authors of the recently
proposed county building code. A
hearing will be held March Is at
Fairfax.
The federation defeated a mo-
ton by Mr.. Ward that county Off
cials be requested to make spe-
cial effort to collect the capita
ton tax from every individual over
81 years of age in the county. The
tax goes to schools.
Some members protested they
did not wish to advocate enforce
ment of a tax which they oppose
in principle. Opponents said they
objected to the tax as a pre-
requisite to voting.
Mr.. Ward reported that men,
bers of the Fairfax County School
Emergency Committee are op-
timistic over prospects that State
surplus funds eventually will be
obtained for school construction.
In reply to a question, he declared
that one reason for formation of
the emergency committee was the
reluctance of teacher members Of
parent-teacher associations to take
a strong stand on school con-
struction proposals.
