But the institute confines its
work to physical and chemical
studies and leaves biological re-

'McKeIdin Veto
OF 7 Measures
Hit by Byrd
Ex-SoIicitor Wrote
Governors Message,
University Head Says

DR.. H. C. Byrd. president Of
the University of Maryland. today
sharply attacked Gov. McKeldin
for his veto last week of legisla-
ton which would have given the
university a much freer hand in
financial matters, hiring and fir

facilities.
The Governor acted on the
recommendation of Attorney Gen.
eral Hall Hammond, who claimed
one of the two bills involved had
not been given adequate consider
alton by the General Assembly.
Too Much Power Feared.
In his veto message, the Gov
ernor said the measures would
concentrate too much power on
the university and exempt it
from all restraints by any board.

DR.. Byrd charged the Cover

solicitor for Baltimore and that
many of the statements in it ARE
either entirely wrong or based on
fallacious premises"
"It is regrettable," DR.. Byrd
said, that the Governor did not
give the university hearing on
these bills. If he had, those re-
sponsible for having given the
Governor such false impressions
could have been successfully
answered and the Governor would
not have been placed in the en-

statement that is so faulty"
The university president also
attacked Mr.. Hammond's recon-

fiimsey kind of background"
Former Studies Cited.
Such an excuse in the light Of
his own study of this particular
bill and in the light of studies
made by different groups since

Byrd stated.

it is considered that the Attorney

ToAsk Shakeup
In nParkP| tanning
To Urge Congress
To Put Council
In Control of Work

The Northern Virginia Regional
Planning Commission will ask
Congress to order a drastic shake
up in Washington area planning,
transferring major control from
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission to a new,
widely representative area coun-
Gil.
AS approved unanimously by
the Virginia planners last night,
a proposed bill to set UP the new
council would reduce the NCPPC
to a planning and advisory zoning
body for the District.
In addition, the city's zoning
machinery would be revamped by
wiping out the District zoning
Advisory Council and the District
Zoning Commission. The NCPPC
would take over the advisory
functions, and the Commissioners
would be responsible directly for
zoning regulation.
ElSAb.VACHAUCE SOuA1CH.
A committee, headed by Bertram
M. Gross of Arlington, submitted
the proposed bill.
While the draft is subject to
change, Mr.. Gross said, full dis
cuSsionS" were held with Repre-
sentative Smith, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia in drawing it up.
The proposal would set up an
eight-member area council, in
Guiding two members each from
the District, Maryland and Vir-
ginia. These six, along with two
members at large, would be ap-
pointed by the President. The
council would be authorized to:
/. Prepare a comprehensive"
plan of expansion for the entire
area.
2. Take over power of the
NCPPC to control location of both
Federal and District government
buildings within the District.
To Plan Six-Year Program.
3. Control locations and con-
struction of Federal and District
projects in nearby Maryland and
Virginia, unless such locations are
specifically approved by Congress.
4. Set up a SiX-year public works
program for the entire area.
5. Take over from the NCPPC
the authority for developing the
areas park system. The pro-
posal also would make an addi-
tional $4.5 million available to
help pay for park development in
Virginia.
Several members of the plan
ming unit questioned the proposal
o-extend authority of the Council
over District government buildings
within limits of the city. Both
Mr.. Gross and Albert A. Smoot
of Alexandria, who helped draw up
the bill, indicated they would
not push for retention of this
point.
Nearby Areas Given Voice.
A main purpose of the new pro-
posal, Mr.. Gross said. is to give
Maryland and Virginia repre-
sentatives a voice in the expan-
sion of the Federal Government
into their areas, where none
exists now"
The development plan, which
would be drawn up under the pro-
posal, would mot deal with mat
ters which can be more appropri-
ately handled by planning agen-
cies" within each jurisdiction.
Mr.. Gross said discussions will
be held soon with the NCPPC,
which is drawing up it's own pro-
posal for a new planning pro-
gram.
Meanwhile, Chairman Neely OF
the Senate District Committee also
has introduced a planning agency
bill, which includes the two-mem-
ber ratio from the District, Mary

For East Capitol ST.
Span Approved Today

The District Highway Depart

plans for the new East, Capitol
street bridge across the Apacostia
River from the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
That group is required by law
to pass on the plans for the bridge
and it's approaches, but it lacks
the legal authority to enforce a
decision either for or against. The
planners last year vigorously op-
posed the East Capitol street site,
insisting that the bridge should
cross the Anacostia on line with
Massachusetts, avenue extended.
Highway Director John N.
Robertson was to present the
bridge plans today at the closing
session of the planning commits
