In Hamburg, the newspaper
Hamburger Abendblatt said:
Having always been for a free

Hamburg must not put anything

Present zoning Law
To Remain in Effect
In Prince Georges

Prince Georges County will con-
tinue to operate under its present
zoning laws until final action is
taken on the long delayed master
zoning plan for the county.
The commissioners agreed yes
terday to follow the five existing
zoning classif1cations. not the IA
proposed.
The question was raised when
owners Of recently purchased pro-
perty in Tuxedo complained to the
board that the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission had refused to issue them
a building permit because their
plans failed to comply with a
provision in the proposed regula-
tionS.
Rider Attached.
The owners, MIR. and Mrs. j. c.
johnson of Annapolis. told the
commissioners that after buying
the property, they discovered q
rider was attached when the land
was rezoned for commercial use
In October, 1947. The rider, they
asserted, stipulated that the zon-
ing be changed subject to the
CO classification"
Such classification, restricting
the property to light commercial
uses only, is part Of the proposed
plan. They said they want to
erect a dry cleaning plant and that
this was not considered light
commercial by the planning
agency. e..
The commissioners said the
present commercial D zoning does
not limit types Of uses. They sent
a letter to the planning group re-
questing issuance Of the permit
"as applied for so long as the ap-
plicant complies with the class D
now in effect"
Carnival Permit Issued.
Arthur H. Seidenspinner, Riv-
erdale real estate man who ap-
peared with the Johnsons, said
the letter was delivered immed-
lately to the planning commission
by them and that the latter agreed
to issue the building permit.

Battle for Extension
Of Trade Agreements
Opens in Senate Today
By J. A. O'Leory

The long g-delayed Senate battle
over extension of the reciprocal
trade agreement law gets under
way today.
The fight will center around the
so-called peril point" amendment
of the Republicans, which would
empower the Federal Tariff Com
mission to warn the President
when it thinks a proposed reduc-
ton in tariff would imperil some
American industry. It would not
prevent the President from going
ahead with the tariff cut, but
he would have to explain to Con-
gress why he took such action.
President Truman last week
gave his Senate leaders the signal
to hold out for straight two
year extension of the Trade Agree
ments Act, rather than take a
compromise that would put of
the main issue until January.
Close Vote in Committee.
The administration won the first
round in the trade agreement fight
in the House, which passed the
bill back in February the way the
President wants 1t. The House
vote was 319 to SO.
In the Senate Finance Commit
tee, however, the bill squeezed by
on a 7-to-6 vote and in the Senate
the division of sentiment is much
closer than it was in the House.
The Presidents appointment of
former Senator J. Howard Nc
Grath of Rhode Island as Attorney
General removed from the Senate
one of the few influential Dem
ocrats who had expressed public
willingness to compromise on this
point with the Republicans.
Chairman George Of the Senate
Finance Committee, who will pilot
the measure through the Senate
has opposed any such compromise.
Senator Lucas of Illinois, the
party's Senate leader, called a
conference of all Democrats for
tomorrow to check over his team
defenses.
Ives Predicts Restriction.
Senator Sparkman, Democrat.
Of Alabama told reporter he
doesn't believe any Of the Demo-
Gratis will go off the party reserva-
tion on this issue.
Senator Ives, Republican. of
New York predicted that when
the bill finally gets approval OF
Congress it will carry some pro-
vision such as the Republicans
have proposed.
II don't see why the admins
tration opposes the peril point
amendment, except that 1t didn't
suggest it," Senator Ives said.
''It won't hamper the program
because at best it is only a mild
sort of restrainer on tariff reduc-
tons"
Senator Hickenlooper. Repub-
ucan, of Iowa toldA reporters that
the peril point provision ID per-
fectly sound.
TN effect" he said. "it sounds
q warning. It's retention is es-
sential unless we are going to
permit the importation of many
types Of goods. produced on very
low foreign wage scales, We've
got our own industries to think
about"
In approving the bill, the Dem
ocratic majority of the Finance
Committee said that restoration
Of the program as it was carried
out up to June, 1948, is neces-
sary. The Republican 8oths Con-
gress had written the peril point
provision into the law which ex-
pired recently.
The Finance Committee ma
