Other States May Bar
|Uninspected Autos,
Mary|anders Told
BY the Assoeiafsd Press

BALTIMORE, Jan. 5.-Mary-
land must set up a system of
motor vehicle inspection soon, OF
her motorists may not be able to
cross State lines.
That was the warning given q
Legislative Council Committee
yesterday by Arthur H. Brice
commissioner Of motor vehicles.
The State, has not required in.
spection of automobiles and truck.
since the early war years.
Mr.. Brice told the committee
that things are getting to the
point where we will have our cars
barred by neighboring States.
Unless there is an inspection
this year. I am almost sure some
OF our cars will be denied the use
|of the streets Of Washington"
The motor vehicles commits
sioner wants to set up an inspec-
ton system under which motorists
would take their cars to private
garages. Each motorist would pay
$1.10 to have his vehicles brakes,
headlights, steering gear and
other essentials checked. The
garage would retain 81 and 10
cents would 60 to the State.
The Legislative Council-inter-
i'm committee of the General AS
sembly-turned down Mr.. Brice's
proposal two weeks ago.
However. it appointed COM
mittee to confer with Mr.. Brice
about drawing up bill to set UP
a State-operated system of inspec-
ton stations.
Mr.. Brice told the committee
that 1t would cost a lot Of money
to set up State inspection stations
manned by State employees.
He said he had offered his plan
because he wanted to get "a bill
that would pass" at next months
session of the General Assembly
The council committee will meet
again next Tuesday night to draw
lup Its recommendations.
1t appears likely that members
will suggest that Mr.. Brice's pro-
Iposal for privately operated in
spection stations be adopted this
year and that State-operated sta
tions be set up later.
Delegate Luber, Democrat, of
Baltimore, chairman of the special
committee. recommended that all
vehicles titled here from other
States be given a rigid inspection.
| He said that would stop use of
Maryland as a dumping ground
for vehicles that cannot pass in
Spection in other States.

Rezoninq Asked
For Apartments
On Church Site
Old Bethesda Building
Believed to Have Given
Town Its Name
By Gertrude BrodIey

The church building on Rock
vile Pike from which Bethesda
is believed to have taken it's name
may be demolished soon to make
way for a s3,000,000 History
apartment house.
This was revealed last night al
q zoning hearing in Bethesda be-
fore the Montgomery County
Council. The White Fathers OF
Africa, who took over the old Be-
thesda Presbyterian Church build
Ing and the 171a acres on which
1t stands about five years ago, are
seeking to have the tract rezoneo
from residential A to permit the
construction of apartments.
Milton C. White, agent for the
Catholic missionary order, sale
the property now is in the process
OF being sold to Walter Swanson
for apartments development. Mr.
White revealed plans for the con-
struction of two large apartment
projects. one high cost and one
low cost, to be separated only BY
a cemetery. The low-cost develop.
ment would contain 100 units fol-
rental at $50 and up. The rentals
In the other probably would start
at 500, it was indicated. The new
owners would dedicate the GENE.
terry to the county as park
reservation
Solid Rock Base.
Louis Justement, Washington
architect, who drew the plans TO,
the history building, said the
land on which it would be placed
lies On solid rock. This would
make it difficult and expensive tc
develop single family dwellings on
the tract. he said.
I The project would be about
one-quarter mile from a multi
million dollar skyscraper type
apartment now being erected on
the Pook's Hill tract.
Warren Browning, attorney fol-
MIR. Swanson, spoke of the neeo
for additional apartment units ir

Petition Filed.
The Maplewood Citizens Asso.
citation, representing 80 homes in
the rear of the property and the
Locust Hill Citizens Association
representing 80 homes across the
pike. filed a petition against the
change in zoning.
A spokesman for these groups
pointed out that there is no imme-
dlate need for further apartments
ana that their construction would
add greatly to the school popula-
tion and that owners of single
family dwellings desire to retain
the present character of the area,
After the hearing the council
accepted the suggestion of Mr.,
White to defer action on the ap-
plications until the master plan
Tor this area is released late in
January.
j. Newton Brewer was per-
mitted to withdraw an applica-
tion to rezone from residential A
