|Seven Nations Discuss Planners Seek 10 Bar
Red Demand 10 Serve zoning Exemptions in
I0n u. n. Peace Patrol MONTGOMERY County

The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
will advise the Montgomery
County Board of Zoning Appeals
to deny requests for zoning ex-
emptions made by rooming and
apartment house owners operating
in violation of the zoning ordi-
nance.
This stand was announced last
night by Blair Lee III, vice chair
man of the commission, at a zon-
ing hearing in Silver Spring. in
volving two such cases.
Last Tuesday, the County Coun-
ell denied seven rezoning appli-
cations by persons seeking to COM
ply with the ordinance. The
council advised the applicants at
that time to take their pleas to
the Board of Zoning Appeals as
hardship" cases.
Mr.. Lee claimed the only "hard-
ships" over which the board has
jurisdiction are those arising from
unusual shapes of building lots or
difficult topography. Economic
hardships are not grounds for
variance under the code, he en-
phasized. In this, he agreed with
the dissenting opinion voiced by
Councilman Thomas c. Kelly on
Tuesday.
The commissioner told the
Council it has power under an
amendment to the zoning act to
adopt regulations so that exemp-
tions could be granted by it as
we'll as by the Board of Zoning
Appeals. Cases such as the ones
decided Tuesday and those heard
last night should be handled un-
der such regulations, Mr.. Lee said.
The new zoning ordinance being
drafted by the commission will be
ready for publication in December,
Mr.. Lee predicted. 1t would per-
NIT maximum of three roomers
in residential "a" homes, he
added. He told the Council the
new ordinance probably could be
enacted into law and an accom-
panying zoning map prepared by
April.

Newsprint Increase
Called 'Precipitate'
By the Assoeiaaed Pfess

NEW YORK. Oct. 19-The re-
cent increase of $40 ton in
newsprint announced by two Ca
madam makers was denounced
yesterday as "'precipitate, exces-
sive, unwarranted and ill-timed'
by Cranston Williams, general
manager of the American News
paper Publishers Association.
THE American Newspaper Pub
fishers Association is being asked
by an overwhelmingly large num-
ber of United States newspaper
publishers whether the increases
Of $40 per ton on newsprint by
Powell River and Abitibi are to be
made by other North American
producers" he said.
''Our answer. is that we believe
an increase of $40 is not justified
by any factors today that would
go to support the increase to Sill
per ton base price.
while contracts are made be-
tween mills and publishers, the
ANPA believes a $40 increase is
precipitate, excessive, unwarrant-
ed and ill-timed.
"We hope each manufacturer
will analyze his own situation in
dividually and conclude that an
increase is not necessary.
"It is the responsibility of each
buyer to tell his supplier what
he thinks about this increase of
$40.
There is a limit to the amount
Of money a newspaper can pay
out and stay in business"
Powell River Paper Co., at VAN
couver, announced the first of the
price increases last Friday. Abb

Defense officials say many en-
ployes needed for vital assign
ments are refusing to accept pro-
motions. And defense officials say
they can scarcely blame them. At
the same time, this has hampered
the activities of the defense
agency.
Also hurting the defense Offices
is the provision adopted by Con-
gress requiring Federal employees
to use up their 26 days annual
leave by June 30. 1851.
Defense officials say the work
load is SUCH that many employees
can't be spared for their full va
cation peirod.
Consequently, Congress will be
asked to ease the Whitten amend
ment and the leave restriction for
the defense offices. Security and
law enforcement agencies may
also ask for exemptions.

IDarden Reorganizes

Undergraduate Roles
BY the Associatsd Press

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Oct.
19.-Signiflcant changes are be-
ing effected through q college re-
organization program at the Uni
versity of Virginia, President COL
gate w, Darden. jr., said yester-
day in his report for 1949-50.
These are being achieved, the
report said, in the creation Of
lower and upper divisions, corre-
spending roughly to the two-year
periods of required courses and
free electives.
Beginning with the class which
matriculateS in the fall of 1850,
every undergraduate will have full
membership in a social unit, full
opportunity to participate in the
college games and the advice and
help of a faculty member under
his own roof" the report added.
Press Endowment Sought.
THE students special unit will
consist of his fellow classmates,
his faculty adviser, his student
counselors and a group of older
students"
The report to the Board of Wis.,
ltors said the lower division had
been founded on the principle that
students academic work is his
primary reason for being in the
university, and that, therefore, his
studies are the central factor of
his life here"
DR.. Darden said self-examina-
t1on and reorganization are under
way within the university's pro-
fessional departments.
He cited three future needs of
the university as IAN endowed uni
versity press, sabbatical leaves for
faculty members, and q commu-
nifty of faculty homes"
Building Needs Cited,
Chief building needs of the uni
verslty. he said, include chemistry.
physics and life sciences buildings.
an addition to the library, an
auditorium, fieldhouse, faculty
homes and an adult center for
extension.
DR.. Darden noted such a pro-
gram would cost several million
dollars, but said that if it "is re-
garded as a long-range one, as it
is. it will not impose too great
a burden on our Commonwealth"
He suggested the requirements can
be met by reasonable appropria-
tlons fer capital outlays made
each biennium."
Much of the report was devoted
to athletics and the university's
membership in the National Col
legiate Athletic Association. DR..
Darden reiterated his stand vir-
ginia cannot comply with NCAA
rules unless these are revised.

Mrs. King Settles
Chase Will Suit
Against Temple U.
BY the Associated Press

RENO, New, Oct. 19.-The con-
test over the will of the late. DR.
Theodore L. Chase, noted surgeon,
was settled out of court here yes
terday.
His only daughter, Mrs. Janice
Chase King, of Silver Spring, Md,
contested the will. which gave all
Of DR.. Chase's property to Temple
University. While the will in
volved only $3,700. the surgeon
had given the Philadelphia insti-
tuition $1,4 million before his
death.
Mrs. King contended that her
father was insane at the time he
wrote the will and was held vir-
tual prisoner on the Temple Uni
versity campus when he gave the
university the $14 million.
Even though the doctors estate
amounted to only $3,700, Mrs.
King said before the settlement
she planned to sue Temple in
Philadelphia for return of the
money DR.. Chase gave the uni
versity.
Legally she had to break the
will first because If she first sued
for return of the gifts, and
succeeded, the money would re-
vert to the university under the
will.
1t was learned that the settle
ment, details of which are still
being worked out, precludes such
future legal action against Tenn
Iple.
Mrs. Kings husband. Attorney
Rufus King, said he was under
instructions not to talk to re-
porters." Mrs. King also refused
to comment.
