Compulsory Retirement
Is Bad Policy, Tobin Says
By the Associated Press

Secretary of Labor Tobin sale
yesterday that compulsory retire.
ment of workers at a fixed age
level is bad policy.
Mr.. Tobin's article in the Ameri-
Jean Federation of Labor magazine
The Federationist. said many en-
lployers require workers to retire
lat age IS and others won't hire
workers over 40 years old.
This practice, he said, is bad
lat any time. It is even worse, he
added. during manpower shortages
such as at present, because it dis
cards needed workers who are will
ing and productive.
Retirement" Mr.. Tobin said,
ought to be based on a mans
ability and mans desire. not
ION his age.
"It's not the age that counts
It's the man. Many men at SIS
lare still raring to CO."

License Board Urges
Regulation Of Auto
Driving Schools

Automobile driving schools In
the District soon will be regulated,
If the Commissioners accept the
recommendations of the District
License Board.
At meeting of the board with
driving schools operators yester-
day, proposed regulations were
agreed upon and will be adopted
formally by the board after an
other meeting on January 9. They
then will be submitted to the
Commissioners. according to Mrs.
Una Rita Morris, chairman of the
board.
Under the proposed regulations,
no person could run a driving
school here without first obtaining
license. Each license application
would have to be accompanied by
certificate from an insurance
company, indicating that all
vehicles to be used for driving in
struction was adequately insured.
The license to operate a school
would cost SIS. Every instructor
also would have to be licensed.
No school would be allowed to
use the words washington.
District" Columbia, or ID. c."
or any combination that would
lead the public to believe the cars
were owned by the District.
James r. Miller, counsel for the
Auto Drivers Training Association
of Metropolitan Washington, told
the board the proposed regulations
are adequate and that something
should be done to make the
driving schools conform to set Of
standards. His statements were
supported by Paul w. Calvert.
president of the association;
Francis M. Bland, vice president
and H. E. Knight, secretary
treasurer.
There are between 20 and Is
driver training schools in the
District.

Police Asked 10 Break
Ganqs

The Lincoln Civic Association
last night called upon the Police
Department to break up juvenile
street corner gangs in its area.

cited the corners of Twenty
fourth and F streets, L street at
Twenty third, Twenty-first, Twen-
|tieth and Nineteenth streets.
Twenty-second and N streets and
Twenty fourth street and Vir-

Pepco Satisfaction Approved

The District Board of Zoning
Adjustment today granted Potomac
Electric Power Co. permission to
build a transformer station on
IQuesada street just off Utah ave-
niue NV. over the objections of
nearby residents.
Despite numerous protests voiced
lat the public hearing the board
decided that Pepco needs new
Isubstation at that point to pro-
wide sufficient voltage for con-
Isqmers as well as to ease the load
on other substations in the area.
The board announced it: will

Applicant Charges
10 Block
New Liquor Stores

Owners of package liquor stores
in Georgetown have organized a
conspiracy to keep any new pack
age store off Macarthur boulevard
and have paid attorneys to fight
any application before the Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board, one
applicant has charged before the
board.
Alan w. Payne, chairman of the
ABC Board, said he will call the
Georgetown liquor dealers soon to
ask them, under oath, if there is
any foundation for the charge.
Sidney Feldman, proprietor of a
package store at 1921 Eighteenth
street NV, has made application
for transfer of his license to 5104
Macarthur boulevard NV. He
made the charge during a hearing
before the board yesterday. His
attorney, Nathan Lubar, said the
presence of two attorneys fighting
the application was proof that
other liquor dealers are behind
the fight.
One of the attorneys Directing
to the transfer denied he repre-
sented any other liquor store, but
the other attorney, j. E. Binder
man, told the board he represents
two package stores in Georgetown.
He denied there is any conspiracy.
Mr.. Feldman told the board the
Georgetown liquor dealers met
about two weeks ago and decided
to fight his license application or
any other for Macarthur boule-
ward. despite the fact that there
is no package store within three
miles of his proposed location.
Before he made his charge,
about 20 residents of the Mac
Arthur boulevard area protested
to the board that the presence of a
liquor store on the boulevard
would cheaper the neighborhood
and cause their property to de-
crease in value.

II feel the law is we'll settled
that. in these cases, it is up to
the applicants to carry the burden
of evidence" the lawyer stated.
He emphasized. however, that
his clients are still determined to
carry on their opposition to any
apartment-use rezoning.
Future Plans, Not Indicated.
Attorney James C. Wilkes, rep
resenting the three owners, said
he believes the boards ruling was
aimed at a compromise.
They seem to be looking to-
ward some kind of apartment zon-
ing there, but the fact remains
that We asked for as little as we
could and got less Mr.. Wilkes
said.
He added that he intends to
confer as soon as possible with
his clients to determine the next
course. He said it is too early
now to say whether they will let
their whole rezoning effort drop,
appeal to District Court or renew
their case before the Adjustment
Board.
Joseph Fairbanks, acting as at
torney for Connecticut Avenue
Citizens Association, introduced
the testimony that temporarily
has stymied the board. This was
a sweeping, although undetailed
contention that all of the zone in
question can be built up with
detached homes.
This statement ran counter to
the position of the owners that
detached home construction on
the steep terrain would work an
undue hardship on them.
Attorney Pratt argued, at the
close of yesterdays hearing. that
no case of undue hardship"
within the meaning of the law,

'ElIender Forecasts
Eisenhower Will Nof
Be Candidate in 1852

Senator Ellender, Democrat, OF
Louisiana, returned from Europe
today with a prediction that Gen
Eisenhower will not run for Presi-
dent.
Although he had a long con-
ference with the general, the SEN
|ator admitted his forecast is moi
based on anything the general
told him.
"But he has a high sense of
honor" said Senator Ellender
land he realizes If any man can
get Europe together he can. My
guess is he is not going to run. "
While the general kept his plans
to himself. Senator Ellender told
reporters he gave the general some
political advice as he was leaving
The Senator recalled that he at
one time thought of trying to be-
come Governor of Louisiana, but
waited too long to make up his
mind and lost out. He said he
jokingly told Gen. Eisenhower:
IF you intend to run, don't wait
too long, or you'll miss the boat" "
Smile Was Sole Reply.
The Senator said the only reply
he got was IAN Eisenhower smile
that showed every tooth in his
head"
Meanwhile, Republican friends
here expect Gen. Eisenhower to re-
pudiate efforts to put his name on
the Democratic ticket in the
March II New Hampshire presi-
Dental primary.
At the same time, they believe
the General will not react either
affirmatively or negatively to a
petition Gov. Sherman Adams has
said will be filed to list him on the
Republican ballot in the same pri-
mary. A Democratic Eisenhower
petition also is expected to be
filed.
Action Would Clean Air.
Republican Eisenhower for :
President leaders said they be-
lieve the General simply will
notify New Hampshire officials
that he is not a member of the
Democratic Party and does not
want to run on it's ticket.
There is mounting evidence here
that the General is being kept
fully aware of developments under
the leadership of Senators Lodge,
Republican, of Massachusetts,, and
Duff. Republican, of Pennsylvania.
He is reported to have given
G. o. P. efforts in his behalf tacit
approval but to have reserved for
some time to come the final de-
cision on whether he will run.

|Woodley Rulings Delay Final Decision

Despite rulings by two separate
coming bodies, the Woodley Es-
tate rezoning controversy today
was still far from solution, and
neither side seemed at all happy
While the District Zoning Com
mission yesterday fatty rejected
the idea of rezoning the historic
property for apartment house
construction, the Board of Zonine
Adjustment later rejected only
part Of the rezoning application
and deferred action on the rest
The commission had the cast
under advisement for nearly two
months. The adjustment boarc
completed its two-day hearing al
l pm. yesterday. went into un.
precedented joint session with the
commission and then announced
it's own decision five hours later
Action by each body was unani-
nous.
Ruling on Part of Area.
At issue was a strip of the
Woodley tract. 725 feet long and
$50 feet deep. just north of Cleve-
land avenue on Twenty-ninth
street NV. The three owners OF
this parcel wanted it rezoned from
"a" residential to permit con-
struction of two lines of four two
story buildings arranged up the
rugged slope in conformance with
the contour Of the land.
What the Adjustment Board did
was to rule the owners rezoning
bid invalid with respect to the
rear 100 feet of the 25O-foot depth
requested.
AS for the remaining $50 feet
the board asked the rezoning
opponents to give evidence sup
porting their contention that the
150-foot-deep area can be de-
veloped in detached single-family
homes without undue hardship on
any builder.
At the same time, the board
asked the owners to prepare a
revised plan showing how they
would lay out two-story apart
ments in the remaining 150-foot-
by-725-foot area.
Both sides were given so days
in which to present the requested
information to the board.
Attorney John H. Pratt last
night announced his reaction on
behalf of the scores of neighbor-
ing residents who have fought any
rezoning of Woodley for more
than a year.
Il was a little surprised and
disappointed by the ruling" Mr..
Pratt said. The principal reason,
he pointed out, is that the board
apparently now has placed the
burden of proof on the opponents
rather than the applicants.
