NewCout Action Seen
Only Hope for County
Slot Machine backers

New court action appeared to be
the only hope today for hackers Of
the move to legalize slot machines
in Prince Georges County.
Tomorrow Is the deadline for
appealing the decision Of Judge
Charles @. Marbury. which voided'
the law legalizing the machines.
So far. an appeal has not been
taken by either the county COM;
nlissioners or C.. Walter Hendrix,
Silver Spring. whose suit against
the commissioners resulted in the
entire measure being thrown out.
Mr.. Hendrix suit contested the
residence requirement under
which he was barred from a IL
cense.
The commissioners yesterday
said they would not appeal. Wal
ter F. Green, attorney for Mr..
Hendrix, also indicated he would
not but said he would discuss the
matter with his client.
Attorney Robert w. Mccullough
said yesterday he would seek a
writ of mandamus on behalf of
the county's Hotel and Restaurant
Owners Association in an attempt
to force the commissioners to issue
a license.
Agree to New Zoning Hearing.
For the second straight week,
Mr.. Mccullough appeared at the
commissioners meeting and at
tempted to obtain a license for
Hal B. Bell, 3424 Rhode Island
avenue, Mount Rainier. The COM
missioners gave Judge Marbury's
decision and injunction order as
the reason for the refusal.
Mr.. Mccullough told reporters
the purpose of seeking the writ
is to get the issue before the
Maryland Court of Appeals.
The commissioners agreed to
hold another hearing August II
in connection with apartment zon-
ing Of an 11-acre tract between
Magruder avenue and Fifty-sec-
ond street, Beaver Heights. The
zoning was voted last Wednesday
during the monthly zoning hear
ings at Hyattsville.
In scheduling the second hear
ing the commissioners acted on q
request Of the Beaver Heights Cit
izens' Association, which asserted
the group had been "misled and
was not given all the facts" prior
to last weeks session.
The zoning approval was OBJ
tanned by David M. and Mary c.
PEBBLES. Their attorney, T. How
ard Duckett, said a 250-unit, ST.
100000 apartment development
for Negroes would be erected.
Tuxedo Improvements Approved.
The commissioners also took the
following actions:
Approved proposed construction
of concrete curbs and cutters,
driveways and inlets, storm water
drains and manholes along Fifty
Seventh avenue from Crest ave-
nue. to Tuxedo road. in special
improvement district No. A, Tux

quest by Blair Smith, Mount
Rainier city attorney, that carni-
val permits within the municipal
ity not be approved without a
recommendation from the Mayor
and Council.

Deleted From Law.

Deleted From Law.
Mr.. Wallerstein contended that
the General Assembly had deleted
from an annexation law a phrase
that referred to counties retain
ing control of schools in areas
taken over by cities. Mr.. Waller
stein said this showed it was the
Legislatures intent that cities and
counties should be autonomous
governmental units.
Commonwealth Attorney Hugh
Marsh Of Fairfax argued that the
city's Interpretation of the law
would give the city control Of all
private and parochial schools. He
said this. Of course, was not the
intent of the law.
Mr.. Marsh said tax money that
paid for sites of the two dis
puted schools was collected from
throughout the county, and that
the schools were built to serve the
Falls Church area. including
many county children. He cited
a Court Of Appeals decision which
gave Norfolk County the right to
keep its courthouse in Portsmouth
after the latter became q city.
Mr.. Marsh said the city was at
tempting to get the schools with
out paying for them, He said the
city would have to pay for the
schools II it got them through
annexation PROCEEDINGS.

friends were all set for an evening of oratorical fireworks against pub- lie housing on both sides of the Atlantic.
 The British financier got a big hand when he blasted at stringent government controls" on private housing construction in his country. Suddenly, however, the applause died like a busted light bulb.
 Figuring he would also blast pub lie housing in England, and thus provide ammunition they could use against the Taft -Ellender- Wagner Housing program, the dinner guests began asking about the dangers ot "socialized housing" in America.
 T can't agree to that" replied Sir Harold. Of course, I would rather not comment on your Ameri- can program for public housing because do not feel it proper to dc so. But I can tell you that the British program has worked oui satisfactorily. In fact, as I see it it's the only way to provide ade- quate housing for low-incomt groups"

TRASH COLLECTION TO BE CONTINUED
 INTO NEXT WEEK

It was announced today that col lection of trash will be continued into next week. Mayor Waino Hen drickson said Friday that the trucks of the street department would con- tinue to drive through all the city streets beginning Monday morning, making one more comDlete round. This action is the equivalent of ex- ending the Clean-Up, Flx-Up, Paint-Up campaign an additional week.
 He pointed out, however, that when the complete trips had reach ed all parts of the city the drive would be considered officially over.
 With the traditional pride of neat homes and yards which prevails III Juneau, he remarked, it is safe to assume that the Clean-Up drive would be a continuing one, thus giving to visitors to the Capital City the impression that Juneau is in the forefront of communities having a keen sense of civic pride, to say nothing ot the economic values to a city which bears the marks of pro- gress and prosperity.

U. ". YEARDN0K THEME FOR 1850

An inquiry from Kenneth c. Cole of the University of Washington is typical of the increased interest everywhere in Alaska.
 He wrote the Alaska Develop ment Board as to available mater ial, especially pictures, for possible use in the 1850 yearbook. .
 The editorial staff would like to choose Alaska as the Tyee theme, especially considering that Seattle is known at the Gateway to AL aska,'" Cole write.

LOU GEHRTGs WIDOW

Mrs. Lou Gehrig made big hit with the Senate subcommittee on health when she testified fo1 legislation to combat multiple scler- osis, the dread disease that felled her baseball playing husband at the peak of his career.
 However, one sidelight of the hearing didn't get into the news papers. It occurred when Commit tee Clerk Bill Reidy passed her a note that caused Mrs. Gehrig to reach for her handkerchief. The note read:
 Dear Mrs. Gehrig: You don't know me, but I used to play ball on the sandlots of New York with Lou. When he was playing bal for Columbia University and later when he was great star with the
 Yankees, he frequently came dowr | to 116th Street in Harlem to teach
 me and other kids the fine points
 of the game.
 That was mighty tough neigh borhood, but the gang fight always stopped when Lou showed up. He did lot to stop delinquency and many of those tough kids who went out to amount to something will
 always be grateful to him. The note was signed Bill Reidy'
