Park Commission
OF Members Urged
By Virginia Board

An eight-member National Cap.
ital Park and Planning Commits.
sion with two members each from
the District. Maryland, Virginia
and the nation-at-large was pro-
posed last night by the Northern
Virginia Regional Planning Com
mission.
The setup was recommended by
a special committee of the COM
mission, which has studied legis-
lation for reorganization of the
present National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
The new proposal would pro-
vide for appointment of all eight
members by President Truman
by the Governors of Maryland and
Virginia first would nominate two
representatives each from their
State.
Gross Lau6s Plan.
Bertram Gross, chairman of the
special committee that recon-
mended the eight-member plan
said he thought it was the "fair-
est and most democratic" setur
that could be established because
it gives equal representation to all
areas
Mr.. Gross pointed out that the
new plan would eliminate all ex-
officio members of the planning
body as had been proposed to
represent various Federal agencies
1--WE feel the necessary interest
Of Federal agencies can be taken
care of through advisory com.
mittees," said Mr.. Gross.
The new plan was suggested II,
lieu of proposed legislation fol
reorganization of the planning
group which would make it 15-
member body with one representa-.
tive each from Maryland and Vir-
ginia. five citizens-at-large ano
eight Federal officials represent
ing various Government agencies
This plan has met with opposi-
tion in both Maryland and Vir-
ginia. where planners advocated
larger representation for their
States.
Suggestion Forwarded.
Mr.. Gross said the first sugges-
ton for two representatives from
Maryland had been forwarded by
the Upper Montgomery Planning
Commission and later indorsed by
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
He said he believed. however, that
the Northern Virginia groups pro-
posal was the first to suggest a
streamlined eight member body.

Hobbies Are a Hobby
10 Ex-Postal EmpIoye
Now Buster Than Ever

Hobbies are a hobby with 70
|year-old william j. Cotter. retired
city postal employe.
Instead of just putting. addi-
tional mileage on the old rocking
chair when he retired in 1912.
Mr.. Cotter got busy.
From his industry were evolved
ID crystal radio set with enough
power to be heard In an adjoin-
ing room through a 10 : inch
speaker, portable crystal sets that
can be snapped on to metallic
objects such as lamps or phones,
tables and chairs and others odd
and ends of carpentry, including
a tool cabinet made from an old
cupboard; an airplane-type gim-
mick for youngsters that shoots
up in the air and drops a tiny
parachute and container for a
buzz-saw guaranteed to keep saw
dust off the floor.
ALI are on display at his home,
1901 Twenty fifth street NE.
He has built UP a fairly lucrative
business selling the crystal sets
and wood working machines for
which he is agent.
AS Mr.. Cotter, fast-talking and
energetic put it; Heck, I'm buster
now than I ever was In my life
and I got no bosses standing over
my head either"
The tuner Of the super-powered
crystal set is composed of wire
bound around couple of empty
circular cereal boxes.
"The volume is created by the
size of the wire and the number
of turns in the winding" Mr..
Cotter said. In addition three
crystals are used, each connected
with the next, acting as sound
boosters.
Especially esteemed by Mr.. Cot
ter is a printing press operated
by foot pedal. which he says is 81
years old. Mr.. Cotter has rugged
up a motor to operate the press
and uses it to print his business
circulars.

While there he studied composition with George Mckay, violin with Maritz Rosen, and public school instrumental music with Walter Welke. BeTg has taught music here for five years. Wrangells music program reaches down into the fourth grade for weekly instrument tal classes.
 Berg says that his principal com plaint is that in spite of the fact that I've had about 45 per cent of all the youngsters working on some band instrument. we still fail to have adequate replacements for our organization when members are graduated from school. Just about the time l think we are ready to tackle a real Sousa march. some body is graduated, and because of technical limitations of the begin ners, We go back again to Assem- bly March, Promotion. etc. Our big problem is recruiting members to fill the vacancies left by gradu- ating bandsmen."
