In Newsprint Price,
But Only for Export
BY the Associoted Press

The Canadian government has
agreed to allow a $10-a-ton in
crease in the price of neWsprint
for export, but not on sales to
Canadian publishers, govern
Iment spokesman disclosed in Ot-
taWa today.
The announcement was made
shortly after Price Stabilizer Ellis
IArnall said Canadian representa-
tives informed him the increase
would 60 in effect June Is. boost
ing the price of newsprint from
Canada, delivered in New York,
to $126 a ton.
He said he has objected to the
Canadian government and has
urged that the requested increase
be denied.
About 80 per cent of the pa
per used by American publishers
is imported from Canada.

Mr.. Arnall said an increase will
boost the cost of publishing news
papers in this country.
Over the protest of Michael v.

OF neWsprint from Canada was

payrolls for public inspection.
Senator Morse, Republican, of
Oregon told reporter he will
offer a floor amendment to the
annual congressional appropria-
ton bill aimed at full disclosure.
The official payrolls of all House
members now are open to inspec-

Before 1947, when Republicans
gained control of the 80th Con-

monthly payrolls of each of the
96 Senators carried names and
salaries of all their aides, secre-
taries and clerks.

Tourist Home Owner
In ChevyChase Held
In zoning Charges

Mrs. Helen B. London, As, was
arrested yesterday on a charge of
violating Montgomery County
zcning laws by operating tourist
home in her residence at Wiscon-
sir avenue and Langdrum lane,
Chevy Chase, Md.
She was released on her per-
sonal bond, pending hearing in
Rockville Police Court next Thurs
day.
The action was taken by the
county after unsuccessful at
tempts to get Mrs. London to
close the tourist home in a resi-
dental A zone. The warrant was
sworn out by Kenneth F. Clark,
an inspector with the Department
of Inspection and Licenses.
Order Dated March 1.
A request of the Chevy Chase
Gardens Citizens Association that
the home be closed in compliance
with recent zoning decisions was
referred to the county attorney
last Tuesday. The association
pointed out that the home had
been ordered to stop taking tour
lists as of March l.
Police have had the home under
surveillance for several days, ac-
cording to L. Clark Ewing, as
sistant county attorney.
Mrs. London lost an 18-month
battle with county officials last
January when Judge Woodward
upheld a Board of Zoning Appeals
refusal to grant her a permit. A
widow with two children, Mrs.
London said the tourist home is
her only source of livlihood.
Fight Began in 1850.
The county's fight with Mrs.
London began in the summer of
1850 when the license department
notified her she was violating zon-
ing laws by operating a tourist
home in residential A zone. She
subsequently was denied an ap-
Iplication for re-zoning of the
property and a petition for an ex-
Iception to the zoning rule.
When Judge Woodward upheld
the denial of the exception, he
told the court that at the time
Mrs. London and her late husband
bought the property in 1947, they
should have or could have known
lit was zoned residential and that
tourist homes are banned in such
areas.
County legal officials said there
was no provision for further ap-
peal on Judge Woodward's ruling.
They indicated yesterday, how
ever, that the legal action taken
against Mrs. London still may not
bring about immediate closing of
the tourist home.
