Arlington Vote Sought
On School Bond Issue;
Amount Is Unsettled

Arlington residents will be
asked to vote on a bond issue for
school construction this year but
the amount has not yet been de-
termined.
Machinery for a referendum was
set in motion yesterday when
more than 1000 signatures were
presented to the School Board
asking for an election as soon as
possible. Mrs. E. F. Knipling,
president of the Arlington County
Council of Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations. presented the petitions.
Adequate Amount Sought.
The council said it wants a
bond issue large enough to meet
school needs for the next two
years, and enough money to
equalize facilities between new and
old schools. It also asks that
double-shift sessions be eliminated
by an adequate building program.
School Supt. William A. Early
said the board will present it's
request for referendum to the
Circuit Court as required by law
after it determines the amount
of money necessary. The court
must set an election date for the
referendum.
School Function Lauded.
A delegation of American
Legionnaires attended the meet
ing to protest the non-closing of
schools for George Washington's
birthday this year. But their
condemnation of the lack of
Americanism" turned to commen-
dation after explanation by school
officials.
Special commemorative cere-
monies were conducted "in each
classroom in the school system,

County Group
Reviises Rules
On Subdivisions
Upper Montgomery
Planners Tone Down
Original Proposals

The upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission has toned
down its views on how much sub
divisions should be controlled in
the northern 10 per cent of the
county.
The commission, which was
severely criticized last November
when it brought out it's first draft
of proposed subdivision regula-
tions for the upper county, has
completed work on what it calls
"a revised draft"
Copies of the revised proposal
have been distributed to members
of the commissions 10 advisory
committees, but were not to be
made public until mid-May. The
Star learned yesterday, however,
that the revised draft would
change most of the provisions in
the original proposal which were
attacked in public hearings last
year.
DCAAAVAOA OAdHSCUs
The controversial definition of
subdivision has been changed, for
instance, to allow sales of small
parcels of land for strictly agri-
cultural purposes without COM
mission approval. Commission ap-
proval also would not be neces-
sary for transfers of land made
to Straighten out boundary lines.
In answer to the criticism that
the first set of regulations even
prevented landowner from
presenting pieces of homestead
land to his children as wedding
presents, the new proposal allows
sale of one lot a year without
commission approval, providing
that; it has a 150-foot frontage
on public road and contains
one acre.
Reserve Clause Omitted.
The revised draft entirely
eliminates a provision in the
original proposal giving the COM
mission power to reserve land
for public use in proposed SUBJ
division for a period of three
years.
Minimum lot sizes have been
cut in half in the latest proposal
from 10000 to 10000 square feet
where no sewer or water system
exists, and from 10000 to 10000
in subdivisions with water and
sewer lines.
The complicated procedure re-
quired of landowners selling sub
division land in last years draft
has been made simpler and less
costly. The $50 filing fee has been
omitted. Bond and cash deposits
which in the original proposal
would have been necessary for any
improvements planned-would be
limited to crosswalks and public
water or sewer systems. other than
those installed by the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
"Frills" Omitted.
The original draft required
many improvements, such as trees,
sod, fences and slopes in new sub
divisions. The new proposal omits
these requirements, which were
attacked by critics last year as
unnecessary frills."
The 10 advisory committees, ap-
pointed by the commission after
it started rewriting the first set of
proposed regulations, are sched-
uled to discuss the new draft and
make recommendations to the
planners within a few weeks. The
commission then will submit its
proposed regulations to the
County Council, which viii con-
slider them for final approval after
public hearings"
The Upper Montgomery County
Planning Commission has author
ity over the upper area OF the
county outside the jurisdiction of
the Maryland-N d-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.

Accessories Provide
Decorative Touch
Just as Jewe|ry Does
By GIadys Miller

The decorative accessories in
any room provide the same fash
ion quality that costume jewelry
gives new gown. This year many
pictures of various sizes hung up
on one wall give new look.
Usually these will have something
in common-the mats, or the
frame, or the subject matter.
The figure in silhouette in black
and white or white and black be-
comes intriguing when the frames
match or harmonic with the
wood Of the furniture and when
the pictures are hung on a dra-
matically colored wall.
This year there will be many
rooms furnished in shades of gray
and pinkS with black and white
contrasts, and among these black
and white contrasts decorative
figures will often be seen. It may
be q head or a full figured sill
houette. It may be full head
modelled in wood, plastic, marble.
and used as lamp base. It may
be a reproduction, a Roman or
Greek statue in a f1gurine Of
print to frame.
StyliZed Effect.
Repetition of a motif or theme
can be attractive. It will give
styled effect and must be well
done or it will seem artificial or
cheap. The artist knows when to
vary, when to contrast, when to
emphasize and when to stop.
The room was done by a de-
signer of the very usable group of
furniture.
The simple. finely tailored lines

round. Driving a car
even so miles before a tournament
round is bad on the wrist action
and on the nerves, they say.
If something should bring Isaacs
and Bassler against Bogart and
the pro combination
would be a good one. Bassler
could play his gambling, long
game and leave the steady play
to Isaacs. They'd be tough to beat.
However the mateurs are
threatening to break the pros
Of the Maryland Open.
For the fourth straight year an
amateur has been second or tied
for second. In 1949 it was Ken
Scales and Col. Jimmy Wilson who
were behind, Isaacs. Brownell,
Harold Cross and Isaacs finished
second to Bassler in 1850. and
Brownell was second to Isaacs last
year. This year, of course, it was
Bogart second to Isaacs.
Isaacs played six under par golf
for the 81 holes of the State Open
and won for the third time in
four years because he beat most
of the field with his golf game
and outsmarted those who had a
chance to beat him.
While Bassler, Fred Bolton, Bob
Hopkins and some of the other
big hitters were cutting corners,
taking absurd chances in driving
over trees and rock Quarries to
save a few yards, or to show off +,
Isaacs would stick to the middle
of the fairway, going the long way
round but getting his pars or
brides. And of course he had
his fine short game to fall back
on. the best they say, among the
pros in this section.
And speaking Of challenge
matches, there has been consider
able discussion between the Mary
land and Virginia pros as to who
has the best record, Bassler or
Isaacs. BY winning the Maryland
Open yesterday Isaacs now has
been no worse than second in the
Maryland and Virginia Opens for
four straight years. Bassler, of
course, is not eligible for the Vir-
lginia Open.
But it's a rivalry that is close,
with Isaacs holding the edge this
season, at least. Harold Oatman,
Isaacs' boisterous buddy from Nor
folk, claims he can prove Isaacs
has the edge since Bassler became
Baltimore's best. That would make
a good match, too, with possibly
a side bet of the new Chesapeake
Bay Bridge against Richmond.
