Sergeant Fined $500
For Fight Fatality

A Fort Meade (Md) Army SER
geant, who pleaded guilty to a
manslaughter charge resulting
from a fatal fist fight at Laurel
last July %. yesterday was fined
$500 and given a suspended 18-
month Jail sentence.
Prince Georges County Circuit
Court Judge j. Dudley Digges sus-
pended the Jail term against
M/Sergt. John j. Mahoney, jr., 80,
on condition that military author
tiles transfer him to new juris-
diction and that he remain in the
Army for at least six months. The
Army has said it would comply
with the order, Judge Digges noted.
Sergt. Mahoney was arrested
shortly after the death of Victor
Chesnoski, a Laurel gas station
attendant, who died from a skull
fracture without regaining con-
seriousness. The pair was involved
in a fight outside a tavern and
Mr.. Chesnoski's head struck the
ground. Mr.. Chesnoski was car
ried home by a friend and taken
to a hospital by his wife. He died
the next morning.
Sergt. Mahoney originally
pleaded not guilty, but changed
his plea November 2. His case
had been referred to county pro-
baton officials before yesterdays
sentencing. They learned that
his military service record had
been good and recommended the
action taken by Judge Digges.

Angle Parking TO Be Barred
On Streets Virginia Builds
BY the Assecioted Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 10.-Ths
State Highway Commission an
nounced it has adopted a reso-
luton eliminating angle parking
on town or city streets to be built
with State highway funds.
The. commissioners regulation
requires that where construction
is under consideration, the locality
should pass a resolution agreeing
that where parking is permitted,
it will be parallel only.
It noted that urban curb and
gutter design used by the high
way department is based upon
parallel parking and that if angle
parking is allowed on such
design. it increases the traffic
hazard "and decreases traffic
capacity"
Highway department officials
said such resolutions should be
submitted with requests for i'm
provements prior to the time high
way allocations are made in the
early Spring.

County EmpIoye Fired
For Political Activity
Al Rockville Polls

A Montgomery County employe
has been dismissed from his job
for engaging in political activity
during Tuesdays election.
He is Ellis Wells Smith, So, of
E715 Brent road, Rockville. a relief
jail guard.
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr told Mr.. Smith in letter of
dismissal yesterday that he had
been observed working at the
polls on election day"
The dismissal is the first of its
kind since the merit system for
county employees was placed in
effect about four years ago. The
regulation prohibiting county en-
|ployes from participating "in any
political activity" or working at
the polls in any capacity" was
adopted about a year and a half
ago, when the County Council set
up a personnel board.
Mr.. Smith, who retired as a
White House police sergeant in
March. 1947. had been in the Jail
post since October l at an annual
salary Of $2,420. He served as a
Metropolitan policeman from 1919
until 1926. when he went on the
White House force. He also had
served as a relief guard on a per
diem basis for a number of months
before control of the jail was
transferred from the sheriff's
Office to the county managers
Office on october /.
Since Mr.. Smith was working
under a temporary appointment,
he is not entitled to any hearing
by the personnel board, Mr.. Nc
Nayr said.
Il regret having to take this
action" Mr.. McNayr wrote Mr..
Smith, 'but am certain you will
understand that you have COM
mitted serious offense in violat-
ing a provision of the charter and
in violating one of the county
personnel boards regulations.
Mr.. McNayr's letter went on to
say the regulations were adopted
to preserve the political neutrality
of merit system employees, and to
protect them from being "ex-
plotted" financially or otherwise,
for partisan political purposes.

FourCorners
Church Wins
zoning Plea
Permission to Build
Addition Granted
By County Council

Despite a vigorous dissent by
two members, the Montgomery
County Council has voted to grant
a request of the Marvin Metho-
dist Church, -Four Corners, for
commercial zoning of adjoining
land to permit construction of an
addition.
The action was taken yesterday
at a meeting postponed from
Tuesday because of the elections.
In the majority were J. Douglas
Bradshaw, A. r. Selby, Harold F.
Hammond, P. G. Ligon and
Thomas c. Kelley. The dissent
was registered by Council Presi-
dent Frederic P. Lee and Mrs.
Dorothy Himstead.
The council yesterday also ap-
proved purchase for $4,012 of a
21a-acre tract, part of the Clar-
ence Chapman property in Kens-
ington, as a site for an animal
shelter. The site had been pro-
tested by about so nearby resi-
dents, but council members visited
it yesterday and decided it is ideal
for the structure.
County Manager Irving G. Nc
Nayr said plans for the shelter
probably will be ready in from
six to eight weeks. He said it is
expected the building will cost
from $4,000 to $4,000 and will
be completed within six months
after work is begun.
Near Property Line.
The Marvin Methodist Church
applied for the rezoning, after the
Board of zoning Appeals refused
to grant a variance from the rear
lot line requirements. The land,
to the east of the church, was
zoned Residential A. under which
a building cannot be placed closer
than 20 feet to the property line
The church wants to build an ad-
dition up to within / foot of the
line.
Denial of the application was
recommended by the planning en-
gineer of the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. The engineer said the
application was not in conformity
with the zoning plan for Colesville
road, near which the property lies.
But the commission itself, the
county council noted, strongly
urges the approval of the appli-
cation, even though a deviation
from the adopted plan of the
commission"
Reject Rez0ning of Tract.
In another zoning action, the
council denied request of the j.
e. Smith Construction Corp. for
rezoning to Residential B to per-
NIT erection of two-family dwell
lings on 29-acre tract between
Georgia avenue and Viers Mill
road, Glenmont.
The council opinion set forth
that the parcel in question sis
practically surrounded by single
family communities constituting
the Weisman, Glenmont Forest
and Wheatoncrest subdivisions. To
reclassify this % acres would ex-
tend a large wedge of more in
tensive zoning between two devel-
oped single-family communities. !"
The planning commission recon-
mended denial.
Among other rezonings was one
covering the remaining frontage
of the Congressional Airport on
the Rockville pike. The change
to commercial D was granted in
accordance with the planning
commissions sectional zoning plan
of the pike. The strip rezoned
is 762 by 300 feet. A 150-foot
setback from the center of the
pike, however, is required for any
development under the rezoning.
