Prince Georges Unit
Also Asks Action
To Bring in Business
BY J. |. MichaeI

A five-year school construction
program and more industria,
coming today have the backing
of the Prince Georges County
Civic Federation.
The Federation indorsed the
proposals last night at it's monthly
meeting at Hyattsville, then re-
iterated it's opposition to apart
ment zoning.
William r. Turner, chairman
of the units finance committee
offered the school building plan
His resolution suggested that il
be prepared by the county COM
missioners. the board of educa-
ton, and the Maryland-Na National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The resolution made it clear
the construction plan should in
clude specific recommendations
for financing.
Asks Review Of Needs.
1t also suggested a review of
present school needs, annual re-
examinations and assignment OF
building priorities.
Mr.. Turner also urged that the
construction program and its
effect on the tax rate be fully
described in a pamphlet for in
terested citizens.
Two resolutions containing rec
concentrations for a more liberal
industrial zoning policy were
adopted. One was presented by
Robert E. Ruskin. vice president
of the Silver Hill Citizens Associa-
ton.
The other was introduced by
Mrs. Irma Bogdanoff, chairman
of the federation's county affairs
committee. Her resolution asked
THAT the federation call upon
the county commissioners to sci
up an impartial fact-finding COM
mittee to study land usage, with
a view to attracting industry tc
the county to help pay for govern
mental services the county now
faces and can foresee."
The federation approved another
resolution handed in by Mrs
Bogdanoff. This one sanctioned
county employment of uniformed
women guards at school crossings

Sees Forced Treatment Vital

The man who led New Jerseys
work for stronger laws to curb the
drug traffic today called compul-
sorry treatment of dope addicts in
a "drug-free atmosphere" a vital
part of any successful war against

He is Assemblyman William F.

committee in the New Jersey Leg
islature to investigate all angles of
the narcotics problem in his State.
After a five-month investigation,
his committee recommended 20
new laws and got 10 of them
passed.
The Goth law provided a treat
ment center for addicts in a for
mer CCC camp. The proposed law
was vetoed by Gov. Driscoll for
lack of funds, but Mr.. Tompkins
Expressed confidence it would be
approved in the coming session.
