For Intersection at
leeHighway,Pa Parkway

The Arlington County Board
last night was called on to make
the Lee highway intersection with
the George Washington Memorial
parkway "a nice looking place"
The request was made by ]. P.
Wagstaff, representing the Lyon
Village Citizens Association, at a
public hearing on a proposed new
master coming plan for the county.
Fewer than 100 persons attended
the meeting in the Thomas Jeffer-
son Junior High School.
Mr.. Wagstaf lives at 1915 North
Danville street, overlooking the
area where the connecting road
with the Spout Run extension of
the parkway meets Lee highway.
This is Just east of the Kirkwood
road intersection.
He said that under the pro-
posed plan, the entire area is zoned
either commercial or for apart
ments. He said he heard" that
this was done as a trade" for
highway rights of way with a real
estate firm.
Trade Is Denied.
Board Chairman Daniel A. Du-
gan Immediately denied there had
been such a trade and asserted
there never will be-"
Mr.. Wagstaf then noted that,
according to the proposed zoning
map, "all that zoning has been
granted"
Mr.. Dugan reiterated that this
was not the result of trade"
THE majority of the board
simply decided that was about the
only thing that could be done with
that property" the chairman said
County administrative officers
pointed out privately that except
for one small portion, all of the
area is zoned either commercial
or for apartments. The county
plans to relocate Kirkwood road
on the south side of Lee highway
so it will run behind the Hot
Shoppe.
Rezoning is Opposed.
The rezoning to permit apart
ments also was opposed by J

in protesting the proposal.
AS result of protests by resi-
dents of the CORTLAND community

At present members of the
Board of Education, the Washing

sion and the Maryland- National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission are appointed by the Gov

This, according to Mrs. Stone
has resulted in only 40 per cent

AN intolerable situation exists,
she declared, when the Count,
Council has to take the rap for tht
work of agencies over which it ha!
no control"

Montgomery Council
To Name Advisory Uni
On Rural PIanninq

The Montgomery County Coun-
Gil is preparing to appoint ar
Advisory Committee on Up-Coun-
ty Planning.
Several prominent citizens al
ready have been asked to serve
on the committee to study a sub
ject that has stirred much dis
cussion in recent weeks. The
council is expected to announce
the appointments Tuesday.
Councilman Thomas c. Kelley
of DarnestoWn is in charge of
assembling the committee, which
may number as many as 10 per-
sons.
Mr.. Kelley declined to discuss
possible appointees, but it was
rumored at Rockville that Lathrop
Smith, president of the Montgom-
cry County Farm Bureau, may be
chosen chairman of the advisory
group. Mr.. Smith lives near Glenn

vile, editor of the Rockville
Sentinel.
Mrs. Haines' newspaper carried
an editorial this week advocating
the establishment of an advisory
committee on planning.
Council President Frederic Lee
limited Monday that an advisory
group might be named.
A public hearing was held then
on a proposed ordinance for the
establishment of an up-county
planning commission. Members
would be appointed by the Council
and would be concerned with all
rural areas outside the bounds OF
the Washington Regional District
The latter comes within the juris-
diction of the Maryland-Natio tional
Capital Parks and Planning Com
mission.
Councilman Kelley said he liked
the. idea of having an advisory
committee to study the question.
MY thinking is that the advi-
sorry committee would have a free
hand to study the problem" he
declared. "It could consider the
question of self lf-protection for the
rural areas and determine whether
there should be subdivision con-
troll. highway planning, building
inspection or other controls.
"The committee might want tc
explore the question of zoning, too
1t could report back to the Council
not only whether there should be
planning, but how much and by
what method"
