Rezoning 10 Permit
New Shopping Center
For Bethesda Opposed

The Maryland-N National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
yesterday recommended denial of
rezoning petition to permit con-
struction of a $250,000 shopping
center on Old Georgetown road,
near Beach drive, Bethesda.
The application was one of
three seeking commercial reclass-
ification Of land in the Bethesda
area. The other two were recon-
mended for approval.
A hearing on the request by the
Cambridge Construction Co. to
rezone approximately 10000
square feet on Old Georgetown
road will be held before the Mont
gomery County Council at 1880
pm. Tuesday in the Bethesda
County Building.
In its recommendation, the
commission said the petition is
not in conformity with the
agency's proposed zoning plan for
the area.
This plan. according to the
planning group, proposes estab-
lishment of shopping center at
Grosvenor lane and Old George
town road "of sufficient size to
serve the present and future local
shopping needs for all of the res
idents within a radius of approx
mately two miles"
The commission also claimed
that If small, local shopping CEN
ters are built too close to the
Bethesda business district, they
might affect the latter's economic
stability and result in "spotting''
the area with isolated CONNER
cial centers."
The two other petitions are:
Thomas M. Anderson, agent for
Charles B. Hawley, owner of land
on the north side of East-West
highway about 200 feet east OF
Wisconsin avenue.
Ben Tarmini, for land on the
northwest side of Fairmont ave-

Federal Parks
May Get 1000
.GreenbeIt Acres
PHA Will Withhold
|. Area From Sale Until
Action on Pending Bill
6y Nelson IA. Shepard

A five-year desire of Federal
Park officials to annex 1000 un-
developed acres of the Greenbelt
tract to Washington's regional
and recreational system may be
realized this year.
Their hopes rose yesterday after
the Public Housing Administration
assured them the property would
be withheld from public sale
pending passage of legislation au-
thorizing it's 4ansfer to the In
terror Department.
Negotiations with PHA were
hastened last week when park
officials learned the housing
agency had called a meeting for
tomorrow to consider ways Of ex-
pediting the disposal Of ths
Greenbelt housing development.
Route Bisects Tract.
The way was cleared when the
housing agency was informed Of
clause in the pending bill for
the Baltimore Washington Park
way. The route bisects the 1000
acres which are adjacent to the
Greenbelt housing.
A clause in the bill permits
transfer from one Federal agency
to another, upon mutual agree
ment," OF any lands desired for
addition to the parkway. The
bill. introduced by Representative
Sasscer, Democrat, of Maryland.
is before the House Public Works
Committee. Hearings were held
on II recently.
Supt. Irving c. Root of National
Capital Parks said the acquisition
Of. the desired acreage would
equalize opportunities Of Prince
Georges County residents for
public recreation.
One of the proposals is to build
an 18-hole golf course on the
property. There now are no public
links in that section of the rapidly
growing county.
Plan S Years Old.
The recreation area at Green
belt was first suggested five years
ago by Thomas c. Jeffers, land
scape architect of the National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. The acreage Is located
between Edmonston road on the
west, the Schrom Airport on the
east; Good Luck road on the
south and Glendale road on the
north.
x Ofhcials said the area is not
suitable for private housing. but
lends itself admirably to general
recreationaf purposes.
Mr.. JefferS has drawn up plan
for its use. The plan is elaborate
and the development hooks into
the north end Of the Anacostia
River Park.
Park officials say the area Sc
lected for the golf course would
provide one Of the finest links
around Washington.
Picnic grounds, reached by cir
tcumferential access roads from
the parkway, are planned for both
the east and west areas. There is
ample space for a wild life area
for naturalists and mixers. Trailer
camp-sites also would be provided.
Housing officials said that to-
morrow's meeting is entirely "ex-
ploratory."

Brush and field fires kept
Washington area firemen on the

A total of 81 were reported,
most of them in Prince Georges
County. Firemen there reported
33, one of which spread to a

stroyed 100 used automobile tires.

moned five residents into court for
setting open air" fires. A county
ordinance prohibits outdoor fires

cept between 4 pm. and midnight
hours when maximum number
of f1remen are available.
Mr.. Pfalzgraf said in none of
the cases yesterday had the fires
got out of control. Most of them,
he said. were reported BY the fire
tower near Pender.
The three Montgomery fire
fighters were hurt in combating a
brush blaze on the farm Of John
B. English on Route 24O. All
the men are members of the
Gaithersburg- Washington Grove
company which was assisted by
the Rockville company in ex-
tinguishing the fire. Approx
mately As acres were burned.
Two Men Burned.
Walter H. Hershey, Is, and
Company Capt. Robert Younkins,
Is, suffered burns when a sud-
den wind whipped the flames
over them. Clark Windsor, 20,
suffered a sprained right ankle.
A blaze first reported to fire
men as a field fire destroyed four
construction tool sheds at the
National Institute of Health, Be-
thesda, with an estimated dam
age of $4,000. The structures be-
longed to John McShain Co.

Assembly Takes Stock
.0f First Short Session
In Maryland History
BY the Associoted Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 4.-Senators
and delegates who settled affairs
Of State for another year looked
over their shoulders today at
Maryland's legislative infant-the
first short session Of a General
Assembly. -
Enjoying a week end of undis-
turbed retrospect, they could think
over the 80 days of legislating in
which they wrestled with prob
lens Of moment, then with back
yard odds and ends.
Between February / and March
u, they:
Wrote out 4 check for $144 ,203,-
564 to run the State until June
30, 1851, and-among other things
gave the sheriff of Cecil County
a $500 raise.
On the other hand, they by
passed $125 million bonus for
war veterans-also declined a ST.
a-working day raise for the bailiffs
Of st. Marys County.
Construction Approved.
They approved s3,872,7 700 in con-
struction at State institutions, and
in passing. told Allegany County
commissioners they could cut an
edge from the county farm for a
community ball park.
They approved a $45 million
bond issue for Baltimore to in
crease its water supply, while deny
ing q 100000 loan for Bladens-
burg to build parking lots.
Openly mindful Of election
year. they upheld Governor Lanes
E$3, 100000 offer to the taxpayers
in income and real-estate tax
cuts. They examined other plans
which would have reduced State
income total Of $2l million but
In the end turned away.
The perennial move for semi
annual automobile inspections was
fought in committee and finally
abandoned for further study. Oys-
ter legislation, heretofore newt
able, failed to appear. A resolu-
ton prolonged the Maryland -Vir-
ginia search for terms of a Po-
tomac armistice.
Assessment Bills Fail.
A dozen attempts to abolish or
revise the States district by dis
trict assessments failed, after
heated debate.
The legislators showed little
concern over constitutional bar
riers to their session. At the last
minute they agreed to continue
90-day off-year and 30-day even
year meetings until convinced a
change is due.
They aSsented to DR.. H. c.
Byrd's request that the University
OF Maryland be given unprece-
dented powers to issue its own
building bonds. They also drafted
a bill, which was never introduced
to call a referendum on other
university powers.
They suppressed uprisings
against the sales tax. public serv.
ice commission. Saturday holidays
for banks. the Jim Grow" Law
and utility strikes.
After three years of caution
they rewrote q maze Of child -laboi
laws to bring them up to date
with Federal regulations and State
school-attendance rules.
az Bills introduced.
They passed on to the voters at
q general-election referendum the
question of imprisoning q mar
who fails to support his estranget
wife.
| Altogether. they introduced 34s
bills and passed ia. Some were
purely local, but pleaded emer.
gencies acute enough to satisfy
the constitutional restraints or
short sessions.
1 They bent an ear. and turnee
an eye toward the coming cleo.
tions. They discovered one almos
