Four Projects for
December Report

The National Capital Planning
Commission has set up a special
committee to review the four re-
ports before it dealing with plans
for the future of the District high
ways and the location of future
Potomac River bridges.
Meeting yesterday, the plan
ming commission designated four
of it's members to serve on this
committee. They are:
Conrad L. Wirth. director Of
the National Park Service;
Thomas H. Macdonald. commits
sioner of Public Roads; w. E.
Reynolds. commissioner of public
buildings. and Brig. Gen. Bernard
L. Robinson, engineer commits
sioner.
The committee is scheduled to
report back to the planning COM
mission at the December II and
IL meetings with definite recon-
mendations.
Four Reports Offered.
Before the body for considera-
tion are four, reports on highways
and bridges.
One is an engineering study
prepared for the planning COM
mission which recommends against
building a new bridge across the
Potomac River at E street. It sug-
gests plan involving new bridges
instead at Nebraska avenue and
to Alexandria.
Another is report prepared for
the District Commissioners. This
report urges construction of the e
street bridge as of first priority.
1t also recommends bridges at Me-
braSka avenue and to Alexandria,
either at Shepherds Landing or
Jones Point.
Tunnel Suggested.
The third report was prepared
for the National Capital Parks Of
flee and deals with highway plans
involving park lands as we'll as
bridges. This report also opposes
construction Of bridge at E street
and suggests instead a tunnel or q
parallel span at Key Bridge.
The fourth report will be one
prepared for the planning COM
mission by Harland Bartholomew
& Associates, engineering firm
from st. Louis.
This report has not been made
public yet. 1t is an analysis Of
the comprehensive highway plan
for the District which the District
Commissioners released last year.
1t disagrees in part with the Com
missioners plan but repeatedly is
substantially in agreement.
From all Of this, the special
committee is expected to come up
with definite recommendation so
the planning commission can
adopt its own highway plan and
it's own version of where the new
bridge will be located.
The planning commission was
meeting again today. It hoped to
come up with a definite plan for
redeveloping Southwest Washing
ton.

School Ban on

Won't Try to Stop
Dance Set Tonight
AT University Park
BULLETIN
BULLETIN

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners voted today to
ask his School Board to deny
the use of public schools to out
side groups for any United Ma
tions celebration in the future.
They decided, however, it is too
late to try to stop a quare dance
set for tonight in the University
Park School to celebrate the
Seventh anniversary of the
founding of United Nations.
Prince. Georges Commissioner
Edward j. Waters plans a last
ditch move to prevent use of the
University Park School for a
square dance at $3.50 o'clock to-
night. celebrating the seventh
birthday of the United Nations.
Costumed members of the coun-
ty League of Women Voters, who
are sponsoring the party, are all
set to cut a huge multi-layered
cake feStooned with seven candles
and tiny flags.
Then. if all goes well, they will
promenade the hall with diplo-
mats in gay native attire.
But Mr.. Waters has threatened
to start things popping when his
board conveneS in Upper Marlboro
today.
First crack out of the box" he
said. Il will rise on a point of
personal privilege and will intro
duce motion demanding that
use of the school be banned. "IIl
stop that hop, if it can be done" "
Predicts a Second.
Mr.. Waters predicted that Mrs
N. Wilson Spicknell will second his
motion. leaving only one vote lack
ing for majority approval.
The situation began shaping up
Tuesday when Mr.. Waters asked
his colleagues whether the league
had received permission to use the
school. He voiced his disapproval
then and warned that he would
attempt to block the plan.
II would object" Mr.. Waters
said last night, IF any political
group tried to use a public school
as meeting place. Let's not be
gullible enough to believe that the
United Nations Is not a political
unit"
Mr.. Waters said that since he
started his fight last Friday, he
has received 7 kilograms and so
telephone calls commencing his
action. some from former Demo-
cratic of1ceholders."
County school authorities re-
ported yesterday that trustees Of
the University Park school ap-
proved the leagues request. They
pointed out that the County
School Board has power to over
rule the trustees but has not dis
cussed the matter because its
members have not been asked to
do so officially.
Some 20 diplomats have ac-
cepted invitations, Mrs. Anne C..
Cadman, league publicity director.

New Maryland
Political Row
Mrs. Werner Hit;
Democratic Bolter
Asked to Resign
BY the Associofed Press


A second report of anonymous
campaign literature and a call
for the resignation of a Frederick
County Democratic Party official
today stirred the already turbulent
political waters Of Western Mary
land.
A new controversy was fired by
a pamphlet directed against Mrs.
Stella Werner, Democratic nomi-
nee for Congress from the 9Th
district.
The new row came with an an
nouncement by States Attorney
John S. Hollyday that the next
move was up to the Republicans in
a similar case Of a tabloid directed
against the G. o. P.
Distributed at a Hagerstown
rally earlier this month, the tab
loid illustrated breadlineS and an
apple-seller reminiscent of de-
preston days. The unsigned lit
erature warned that a Republican
victory on November 4 would re-
suit in another economic collapse.
Must Obtain Warrant.
Mr.. Hollyday wrote D. Eldred
Rinehart, who, as chairman of the
G. o. P. State Central Commit
tee had asked for an inveStiga-
tion. that the Republicans would
have to obtain a warrant against
the persons responsible for the
anonymous tabloid or present evi-
dence to the Washington County
grand jury. A grand jury han
ding would delay any trial result
ing from the investigation until
November 20, Mr.. Hollyday said,
because the jury is not scheduled
to meet until late next month.
State law prohibits the distri-
button of campaign literature
without the signature of an Of
fetal agent of party or candi-
date.
The call for j. Tyson Lee to re-
sign as chairman of the Frederick
County Democratic State Central
Committee came from Thomas
Glass, the party's county cam
paign manager.
Attack on Mahoney.
Noting that Mr.. Lee had called
George P. Mahoney, Democratic
nominee for the Senate, com
plete fraud" and had announced
he will support Republican Rep
resentative j. Glenn Beall for the
Office, Mr.. Glass said:
Il am sure that the public will
recall that Mr.. Lee was one of the
earliest supporters of Mr.. Mahoney
when Mr.. Mahoney ran for Cover
nor in 1850. I am also sure that
the public will recall that Mr.. Lee
repudiated Mr.. Mahoney's can
didacy early in that campaign"
Mr.. Glass said Mr.. Lee had not
contributed to Democratic efforts
In the current campaign and
therefore should step down from
the Democratic State Control
Committee so his position could
be filled "by local Democrat who
believes in the party platform and
Is willing to support the party's
candidates"
G. o. p. Denies Ties.
The anonymous campaign mis-
sives against Mrs. Werner were re-
ceived by several registered Re-
publican voters in Allegany County,
delivered by second-class mail.
Paul M. Fletcher, chairman of
the Allegany County Republican
Campaign Committee, denounced
them. No official Republican or
ganization has anything to do with
them, he said.
William L. Wilson, jr., chairman
Of the Allegany County Democra-
tic Campaign Committee, said the
anonymous campaign letters show
"the desperate efforts by which
our opponents seek to distort the
situation to the voters"
Mr.. Wilson said Mrs. Werner al
ready has refuted the charges in
The letter.

Refutes Editorial
Concerning
Tom Crouff

The following is letter written
to the Phoenix Gazette by Ameri-
can Legion (Sunnyslope) Post No.

cerning Tom Croaff.
Editor, Phoenix Gazette,
The attention of this Posts Exc
cutive Committee has been called
specifically to an editorial in the
Phoenix Gazette for August %,
1852, concerning one of our Legion
members, namely, Tom CrOaff, who
is currently candidate for Judge
of the Maricopa County Superior
Court. .
We note from your article ref
erence to the American Legion be-
ing opposed to the candidacy of
Tom Croaff two years ago.
We wish to enter our protest to
such a reference for the reason
that the American Legion does not
engage in Partisan political activ-
ity. We neither support nor oppose
a candidate for public office. Our
Legion constitution refers to this
matter clearly in Article III, Sec
ton 2, thereof:
This organization shall be alb
solutely non-po1itical and nom
political and non-sectarian, and
shall not be used for the dissemi-
nation of partisan principles nor
for the promotion of the candi-
dacy or any person seeking pub
lie office or preferment. No cam
didate for or incumbent of a
salaried elective public office
shall hold any office in this Post
of the American Legion, and the
the declaration of candidacy for
an elective public office by any
person who is an officer of this
Post of the American Legion,
shall operate automatically to
vacate his office in this Post, and
the same shall be filled as here

without the knowledge of residents
of the neighborhood. She and 9TH

established there.
Planning Director John w.
Beatty said the property had been
properly posted as to the zoning
application at the time, although
the sign might have been removed
in some way. He pointed out that
the present rezoning will not pre-
vent operation of the car storage
yard, which will be considered a
non-conforming use and allowed to

in our Post activities, now serving
as Chairman of the Post Law Com
mittee, and being employed as at
torney, for both the Post and the
Auxiliary in several legal matters
now pending.
We have complete confidence in
the integrity, diligence and loyalty
of Tom Croaff as an American citi-
zen and as an active member of
the American Legion.
At this time, we request you pub

Very truly yours,

FREEZING PRESERVES =.
FRESH BEAN FLAVOR

FRESH BEAN FLAVOR
Crisp, tender snap beans, now
plentiful and fresh, may be enjoyed
the year around when stored in
the home freezer or freezer-locker.
For freezing, select beans that
are barely mature and of variety
recommended for home freezing,
suggests Elsie H. Morris, nutrition
ist for the Agricultural Extension
Service at the University of Ari-
zona.
Wash the beans in cold running
water, cut off the tips and sort for
size. Smaller beans may be frozen
whole and larger beans cut into
suitable lengths.
T Research on freezing methods in
dicates that scalding is essential
for best results with nearly all
vegetables. Scalding stops engine
action and preserves flavor, color
and food value during prolonged
storage.
Recommended scalding times is
q minutes for small beans, 3 min
uteS for medium-sized and 4 min
utes for large beans. Arizona home
makers living at attitudes above
5000 feet will need to add at least
1 minute to the recommended
scalding time.
After scalding, chill the snap
beans Immediately in ice water
Then drain, package in moisture
vapor proof wrappings or contain
ers and free Immediately at 0 de-
grees Fahrenheit or below. Store
beans at O degrees or lower.

from men of MurGock's type. Ralph
Watkins can be relied upon to treat
us better.

Nose Doesn't [ Know
Toxins, Army Warns
Byshs Associated Pres.

The Army warned its soldiers
today against trusting their noses
to detect the use Of gas, germ. or
Pathological warfare.
In a new training circular to
troops. the Army said:
Certain techniques heretofore
accepted and taught as means for
identifying toxic agents in the
field are no longer valid. Intro
duction into this field of highly
toxic and odorless chemical
biological and Pathological agents
has rendered exceedingly danger
Gus such techniques as the fol-
lowing:
Detection or identification of
toxic agents by sense of smell
alone followed by adjustment of
the gas mask"
| Although the circular speaks of
using devices" for detecting toxic
material. Army spokesmen agreed,
in answer to a reporters ques-
tions, there is no gadget to give
quick warning of the present of
enemy-planted germs. Only by
slow laboratory examination-re-
quiring hours. days or even weeks
would 1t be possible to know
definitely that a biological attack
/ had been made.
l However, the fact that biological
weapons would be slow to produce
results also would diminish the
prospect Of their use at front-line
positions. On the other hand,
such q weapon would be highly
effective when applied to troop
concentration areas in the rear
