6 Republicans Oppose
Apartment zoning
In Bethesda Section

Opposition to any large scale
apartment zoning in Bethesda
Chevy Chase under present con-
ditions" has been voiced by the
six Republican candidates for the
Montgomery County Council.
They took the stand in a letter
replying to a request by Charles
E. Lyons, president of the Maple
wood Citizens Association, for
their opinions on zoning in the
area.
The only exceptions the candi-
dates said they would make in
such a matter would be in sections
designated in the areas master
zoning plan as suitable for apart
ment use. And even there. they
said, they would base their de.
cisions on testimony at zonine
hearings.
"The Bethesda = Chevy Chase
area" they declared, "is for the
most part a community of single
family homes which we fee
should not be disrupted by the
intrusion of large apartment de.
velopments.
"At the present time, there ex.
lists in the area what We believe
to be- sufficient amount of un.
developed land already zoned fol
apartment use to meet local need.
for the foreseeable future"
The candidates also said they
oppose commercial "spot" zonine
and ribbon" development. They
added they believe the sectiona
zoning plans prepared by the
Maryland National Capital Parl
and Planning Commission shoulc

Lano 10 Seek Return
OF PinbaII Machines
Seized in Arlington

Sam Lano, convicted last May
in Prince Georges County of ex-
tortion as result of slot machine
operations, has served notice on
Arlington County authorities that
he will demand return of five pin
ball machines seized In raids there
yesterday.
commemorative Attorney Den
man T. Rucker retorted he will
ask Arlington County Court for
permission to destroy the ma
chimes because they reward lucky
players with free plays.
Lano and his attorney, Alfred
w. Trueax, conferred last night
with Mr.. Rucker and said they will
oppose his proposed court order,
the Commemorative attorney said
Mr.. Rucker added that Lano had
agreed to discontinue operating
"six or seven" other free-play pin
ball machines in the county.
Sixth Machine Seized.
A sixth pinball machine was
seized in the raid yesterday, Mr.
Rucker said. but it apparently
does not reward the winner with
free plays. If this proves to be
teh case, the machine will be re-
turned, Mr.. Rucker said.
Pinball machines are legal in
Arlington County provided they
offer no reward to players. Mr.
Rucker said. The State collects
a $1,000 license tax on each ma
chine.
