tunity of saving up further leave
that might be used in the future
for cash payment If they ever lose
their jobs. Until now, leave ac-
emulation was the only kind Of
jobless insurance Federal workers
had.
With this in mind, Mr.. Forand
sounded out some of the key men,
bers of the Rules Committee,
which twice previously this year
had refused to approve the unem-
ployment compensation benefits
bill, previously approved by the
House Ways and Means Commit
tee.
However, Rules Committee mem
bers fatty told Mr.. Forand there
lis no chance Of approving it.
This means that nothing can be
don't about the situation next year.
Undoubtedly there will be a move
among some members of the House
and Senate Civil Service Commit
tee to repeal the leave accumula-
ton ban rider. If this fails, Mr.
Forand will try again to get action
on an unemployment compensa-
ton bill for Federal workers.
Meanwhile, Congress is expected
to enact the leave rider today OF
tomorrow as part of the 1853 in
dependent Offices bill. The rider
requires Federal workers to use
their 1852 annual leave by June
80, 1858. or lose the unused por-
ton. The rider, however. does pro-
tect annual leave accumulated be.
fore 1852. Employees may still car
ry over from year to year all oi
their annual leave earned priol
to January !, 1852.
There has been some talk that
a move might be made in the
Senate to recommit the bill with
instructions to modify the leave
rider, but the chances of thi!
move succeeding are very dim.

HyottsviIIe Council Saves $500
On Insurance at Risk of Suit

The council cut the knot by
awarding the contract to Mr.. Keir
with the proviso that the work.
mems compensation insurance
should be placed with the State
Commission. The balance Of his
bid already was lower than his
competitors. Result: $500 saved
for Hyattsville's taxpayers.
City Attorney Hervey Machen
uttered word Of warning, how
ever. He told the council it may
possibly be open to a court suit
because Of its decision. In adver-
tising for single bids on the whole
insurance contract, he said, the
council may have bound itself
to decide only on total bids and
not to consider them section by
section.
Rightly or wrongly. the coun-
Gil acted in the nick of time.
The old policy expired last night.
In other business, the city heads
denied an application to rezone
a section Of Thirty-ninth avenue
between Livingston and Longfel-
lew streets to permit construction
Of an apartment house.
It also turned down a proposal
to make Armistice Day a holiday
for city employees.

Private enterprise and govern
ment fought to a draw in Hyatts-
vile last night, and the city's tax
payers appeared to be ahead $500
as a result.
At stake was the city's annual
insurance policy on it's personnel
and equipment. The City Council
voted, S to Q, to give the contract
to A. r. Keir, Inc, Of Hyattsville,
instead of H. H. McFarlin of
Riverdales although Mr.. McFarlin
seemed, at first glance. to be low
bidder.
Mr.. McFarlin was asking $5.-
078.33. Mr.. Keir's figure was
$5.123.35. But Mr.. Keir wanted a
private insurance company to
write the whole policy, while Mr..
McFarlin was going to place part
of the insurance, covering work.
mems compensation. with the
State Accident Industrial Com
mission, a government insurance
fund. with a considerably lower
premium.
Going for Mr.. Keir was the
argument of several councilmen
that government should not COM
pete with private enterprise. Sup
porting Mr.. McFarlin's bid was the
incontestable fact that 1t was
lower-by $45.02.

Long-Ronge Projects
For Suburbs Shown
By Park Commission

The Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and planning Commis-
sion yesterday took the wraps of
it's long-range proposals for high
way development in Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties.
A map showing a spiders web
network of roads dotted with clov-
erleaf interchanges was put on dis
play at the commissions Offices
in Calvert Mansion, Riverdale,
and the County Liquor Dispensary
building in Silver Spring.
The planners have indicated the
pattern of road development they
think should be followed in the
counties during the next 25 years.
It is still considered subject to
change but when finally adopted
will be accompanied by: data in
dicating anticipated population
densities and traffic congestion by
1880.
Three types of roads are pro-
posed in the overall project:
l. Parkways which would re-
quire a right of way of between
$50 and $50 feet. Six of these ty2e
roads are proposed. The dual
pavements would be between "a
and "a feet wide on either side of
a Handicapped median strip of 16
to 40 feet in width.
2. Freeways, which would re-
quire a right of way of between 200
and 300 feet. Seven of this type of
road are proposed. The same pave
ment and median strip standards
would apply for this type as for
the parkways.
3. Dominant thoroughfares or
major highways which would re-
quire a right of way of between
100 to ITO feet. These are primari-
ly existing roads which are recon-
mended for widening to dual lane
highways with pavements of be-
tween "a to "a feet on each side
Of four to 16-foot median strip.
In addition, many existing roads
are recommended for development
to A foot roadbeds to serve more
adequately as secondary and con-

Alexandra Election
And Referendum SET
January Is by Court

January 13 has been set as the
date for a special election to fill
a vacancy on the Alexandria City
Council and for a referendum on
amendment of zoning regulations.
Alexandria Corporation Court
Judges William P. Woolls and
Franklin P. Backus today jointly
entered a court order fixing the
election date. The City Council
had filed a petition with the court
requesting both elections.
The special Council election is
being held a fill the unexpired
term of Judge Backus, who was a
member of the City Council until
his appointment to the bench
earlier this month. His unexpired
term runs until June 30, 1855.
Election laws require candidates
in the special election to file petit
tlons with the court at least 80
days before the election. This
would make the deadline Decem-
Der IA. which is a Sunday. Albert
w. Bryan, jr., electoral board
chairman, said he would check
into the matter to see whether
this would push the deadline up
to December 13 or possibly the
10th.
The referendum is being held
to get the voters sentiments on
permitting City Council to over
ride recommendations of the
planning commission by a recorded
majority vote. The charter now
requires three-fourths vote of
council to upset actions of the
planning commission.
The outcome of the referendum
is not binding, but the City Coun-
Gil has agreed to seek amendment
lot the charter according to the
wishes of the voters.
