ID. T.. Civic Federation
Raps Commissioners
On Lily Ponds Action

The Federation of Civic As
sociations last night condemned
as arbitrary and undemocratic the
Commissioners approval of the
Lily Ponds site for low-cost pub
lie housing without a promised
public hearing. The Commission
ers approved the Northeast site
on Monday.
The federation acted after
hearing the Eastland Gardens
Civic Association declare it has
been ignored and by-passed,'
although it was promised a pub
lie hearing would be held.
Wilbur S. Ellis, president oil
the Eastland Gardens group
said his association asked the
Board of Commissioners on O.
tober q, for a hearing. On o.
tober %, he said, Godfrey M
Thornett, secretary of the board
replied by letter that the Com
Imissioners had approved the re-
quest for a hearing and promised
to notify the association of the
date.
Telegraphed Protest.
Mr.. Ellis said his group re-
ceived no further notice of any
kind until newspapers this week
announced approval of the Lily
Ponds site by the Commissioners
He said he at once telegraphec
i his associations protest of the
faction but up to last night haC
not been given any reply.
The federations resolution
protests such arbitrary and un-
democratic action by the BoarC
lof Commissioners" and asks that
1.-The promised hearing be hello
in order that the Eastland Gar
dens association and any other
interested persons or groups may
present their views"
In letter to John Ihlder, ex-
|ecutive director of the National
Capital Housing Authority, the
Commissioners said their action
was subject to approval of the
site by the National Capital Plan
ming Commission.
The NCPC last week laid out
certain land in the Lily Ponds
property for the Kenilworth in
terchange in its huge thorough
fare plan, and told the housing
authority it can have a COM
parable 20 acres now in use as a
dump for it's low-rent project.
Condemnation Involved.
Road access to. this 20 acres
would require condemnation of
land now occupied by single resi-
dences. the federation was told
last night. Also, enlargement of
Kenilworth avenue to parkway
proportions would necessitate con-
domination of another strip of
private property on which single
homes now stand.
The Eastland Gardens group
said it objects to the displacement
Iof families which would result
from condemnation. It also de-
clared the present community will
suffer in character if public hous-
ing is established adjacent to it.
It has suggested the site be held
for sale to private builders.
Spokesman for the Eastland
Gardens association last night
said "our arguments may hold
water, or they may not but we
want the right to stand up and
be heard"

20 More Police
Ito Be Hired by
|PrinceGeorges
Present Force to Wor
a Extra Hours; Hiring
| Of Women Defeated

The Prince Georges County
Commission meeting degenerated
into noisy argument over
women yesterday. And to quiet
down the commissioners who were
shouting, the board agreed to hire
10 more policemen.
The county's police are happy
today that the question arose.
They not only won approval for a
bigger force, but most of the
men already on duty will be TAX
ling home more money.
The meeting was in Hyattsville
and was rather dull, until a dele
cation of mothers appeared to
plead for help at the Ager Road
Elementary School crossing.
The mothers earlier had sug-
lguested women guards. County
Police Chief F. Allen Richards
didn't go for that idea at al.
He suggested, instead, that the
commissioners let him hire 20
more men. That way he car
provide better school safety service
and use the additional men fol
other work as well, he said.
The commissioners thought
that was the best solution.
But what about the school
children during the months re-
quired to find and train these
new officers?
Then 1t Starts.
Commissioner w. Everett Marion
proposed using women guards
until the new men are ready for
duty.
Then the hollering started.
II don't think a woman's place
lis in a police uniform out direct
ling traffic." Numbered Commits
sioner Edward j, (NedD Waters.
II shall vote for extra policemen
but I am unalterably opposed to
having women guards at school
crossings"
Before the furniture had stopped
shaking, Commissioner Marion
was on his feet.
II am just as much in favor of
women guards as Ned is against
them," he roared.
Abbott Gets Into Act.
Commissioner Daniel j. Abbott
got into the act to back up Mr..
Marion. Mr.. Waters held the
fort against both of them.
mo one respects women more
than I do" Mr.. Waters beloved.
But let's be practical about this.
Motorists are going to have more
respect for men than for women"
Mr.. Marion, matching him deci-
bel for decibel, yelled, Its the
uniform you respect, not the in
dividual.
The forensic hurricane achieved
lpandemonium.
Then Chief Richards threw in a
comment.
Il can settle this myself" he
said.
| The debaters stopped short,
mouths still OPEN.
Chief Richards said, IF you'll
let me work my men IL hours a
day instead of only eight, it will
take care of everything" He said
his officers would work the four
additional hours for four more
hours of straight pay, not time
and a half.
Seize Upon Offer.
! The embattled commissioners
grabbed at his offer like distressed
wrestlers lunging for the ring
ropes.
And thus it was decided.
The chief gets 20 new men and
until he can find them, he can
work the force overtime His un-
dermanned outfit has only ST mer
in all, and he said that, starting
around January l, all the uni
formed officers, totaling about SO
will go on the 12-hour shift. He
said they'd be glad to have the
extra money.
/ The commissioners were able tt
settle down then and their meet
ing wound up placidly.
Afterwards Mr.. Waters and Mr.
Marion shook hands.
