Citizen Groups0 Oppose
Medical Clinic zoninq
On Rockville Pike

Strong opposition was voiced
yesterday afternoon to the pro-
posed medical clinic on Rock
vile pike in the church building
recently occupied by the White
Fathers of Africa.
Protests came from the Maple
wood and Locust Hill Citizens As
sociations at a hearing before
the Board of zoning Appeals in
the Bethesda County Building.
Warren Browning, owner of the
property, had requested the board
for permission to remodel the old
church building into IA Offices and
a reception room. The offices
would be used by a group of
Bethesda physicians who must
vacate their present quarters be-
cause they are in residential A
zones. A medical clinic is per-
mitted in A zone, if certain re-
quirements are met.
C. E. Lyons. president of the
Maplewood Citizens Association
and A. E. Conradis, president of
the Locust Hill group, said the
medical clinic would serve as an
opening wedge for commercializa-
ton or apartments in a high class
residential area.
Mr.. Browning said if the board
agreed the medical clinic would
decrease property values he would
withdraw his request. He claimed.
however, that the clinics facilities
are badly needed.
In another hearing, The Cla-
renden Bethesda Development
Co. asked the board for permis-
sion to continue renting office
space in the ground floor of their
apartment house on Bethesda
avenue to DR.. Howard Martyr and
DR.. j. E. Smith.
According to Morton Thomas of
the Department of Inspection and
Licenses, a survey of doctors Of
fees in the suburban area showed
II violations in A cases investi-
gated. The doctors have been
given 80 days notice to comply
with the zoning regulations.
James Miller, attorney for the
apartment owners, claimed it is
more important to have the doc
tors in the community than to
have the apartments as family
dwelling units.
Howard Bond of Exeter road
told the board the residents of
the area are not opposed to the
use of the apartments by the doc
tors.
The board took both requests
under advisement.

Commission on Crime
Seen Needed in Arlington

A citizens crime commission for
Arlington was urged today by
Harrison Mann, chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee
of Arlington County. He pro-
posed a bipartisan commission
appointed by Circuit Court judges
Unless action is taken it is
likely that self-appointed groups
with responsibility to no one will
arise" he said. This involves a
danger of having those people
interested in professional gam
bling moving behind the scenes
-. to carry out their own de-
signs"
Formation of local crime CON-
missions was suggested by Downey
Rice of the Kefauver committee
staff. Mr.. Rice spoke to mem

Fairfax Court
Clears Way for
Sale of Bonds
Two Who Appealed
Earlier Decision
Withdrew in Cose

A court order today opened the
way for the sale of about SILL
million in Fairfax County bonds
without further legal interference
Judge Paul Brown of Fairfax
Circuit Court entered an order to
that effect. 1t permitted two
county citizens, John King and
Paul Rhinehart, jr., to withdraw
an appeal from an earlier court
decision.
On February IT Judge J. Jordan
Temple had granted Fairfax
County an injunction prohibit
ing any further suits which would
hold up the sale of $105 million in
school construction bonds and
$780, 900 in bonds for courthouse
addition.
It was this decision that Mr..
King and Mr.. Rhinehart appealed.
Judge Temple withheld effective
ness of the order for so days, thus
setting April 18 as the deadline
for the filing of any new suits con-
testing the bond issues.
When this deadline passed with
out new litigation being filed there
still was some doubt about the
status of the appeal of Judge Tenn
pies decision. Mr.. King and Mr.
Rhinehart had agreed to drop
their appeal in exchange for an
agreement from the county to drop
plans for a counter suit for dam
ages against them.
Yesterday. Attorney Robert j.
McCandliSh, jr., and Common :
wealths Attorney Hugh Marsh
went before the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals in Richmond
to clarity the matter. The high
court informed them that it was
without jurisdiction and that the
issue still was before the Circuit
Court.
With that opinion, the two
attorneys returned to Fairfax ard
presented the matter to the Cir
cult Court there. Judge Browns S

Apple Blossom Festival Reaches Climax Today With Big Parade
By Mary Lou Werner
Stor Stoff Correspondent

WINCHESTER, Va, May A.
Minus Hollywood glamour for the
first time in recent years, the oath
Shenandoah Apple Blossom Fes-
tival reaches its climax today with
the traditional grand feature
parade.
Movie Star Esther Williams
who was to lead the parade as
grand marshal, sent word yester-
day that an ear infection made it
impossible for her to fly east for
the occasion.
Others from the movie capital
who performed the task in recent
years were Bing Crosby, Bob
Hope and Van johnson.
Tom Baldridge. director gen.
Ieral and secretary of the festival,
said no effort was being made to
get another grand marshal be-
cause it was too late.
The absence of Miss Williams
leaves Miss Curl Lie unrivaled as
No. beauty of the two-day cele-
bration. Miss Lie was crowned
festival queen yesterday by De-
fenSe Secretary Marshall.
5000 See Coronation.
Only about 5000 spectators wit
messed the coronation and the
annual pageant that followed.
Usually a much larger crowd jams
the Handley School bowl for the
event.
But threatening clouds and
sprinkling of rain throughout the
day cut attendance, and threat
ened to force the gala affair in
doors.
When the hour of the corona
ton arrived, the weather had
cleared. 1t was overcast and cool
here this morning.
Miss Lie wore a simple white
taffeta dress, with a scooped-out
neckline, fitted bodice and full
skirt. Over the dress she wore a
blue satin-lined robe that trailed
behind here.
Tavenner Introduces Marshall.
Secretary Marshall was intro
duced by Frank S. Tavenner, jr.
attorney for the House Un-Amer-
ican Activities Committee.
"Guri Lie, in the name of the
apple blossom festival and in
token of our faith in you," said
Secretary Marshall in solemn
tones. II crown you fair queen
of the apple blossoms"
The Defense Secretary then, al
the inquest of photographers
kissed Miss Lie twice on the cheek
once for still photographers anc
once for newsreel cameramen.
Most enthusiastic among the
photographers was Secretary
Marshall's own chauffeur, Pfc
Jennie Olser. a 20-year-old WAC
who had driven him from his
home at Leesburgh to Winchester

25% Evacuation
Planned
.0nRaidWarning
Sick and Injured
Would Go First in
Priority System

Up to Is per cent of District
residents would be evacuated from
the city on advance warning of an
enemy attack, according to latest
plans of the Federal Civil Defense
Administration.
The pre-attack evacuation plan,
which is something new in civil de-
fense proposals, was revealed yes
terday by r. T. Schaeffer, director
Of emergency welfare services for
the Federal agency.
State and city directors attend
ing the new civil defense staff col
lege were told that the pre- attack
evacuation would depend on ad-
vance knowledge of enemy plans.
Such a warning, he indicated,
would be somewhat doubtful un-
der the present military intelli-
gence setup.
The evacuation would be on a
priority basis. First to go would
be the hospitalized sick and in
jured. Other categories, in order
of priority, are mothers with pre-.
school children, school-age chill
dren, pregnant women and the
aged and infirm. In all cases,
evacuation would be limited to
non-essential persons in critical
target areas.
Might Decide to Stay.
Mr.. Schaeffer said detailed plans
for setting up reception areas for
refugees are not yet complete.
They would have to be worked
out on State level, co-ordinated
by the Federal authority, he said.
The civil defense warden serv-
ice within the city would be
charged with compiling lists of all
persons to be evacuated upon
warning. On notification that an
attack was expected, it would be
up to the individual or family to
decide whether or not to leave the
area.
Meanwhile, District residents
were warned today against persons
posing as civil defense workers
who have in several cases at
tempted to enter homes in the
larea.
New Case Reported.
Police and civil defense officials
have received a number of COM
Iplaints of this type. One yester-
day came from Mrs. Walter R.
Reynolds of 81 Adams street NV.
who said a man came to her door
and showed her a printed card
identifying him as connected with
the civil defense organization.
He did not try to enter the
house. Mrs. Reynolds said, but
asked to see a person living there.
Police have warned that unau-
Ithorized persons seeking entrance
may be housebreakers sizing up
the property for future reference.
According to a District civil de-
Ifense spokesman, no house-to-
house surveys are being under
taken by the organization at this
time. In the future, however,
members of the warden service
will make such a survey of their
districts to acquaint themselves
with special problems they may
face in case of an attack.
All such wardens will carry
Identification cards signed by Max
Schwartz, chief of the warden
service, officials said.
