Peabody Denies Zoning Setup
STILES Alexandra Industry

Leroy E. Peabody. chairman
of the Alexandria Planning
Commission, today defended the
city's present coming regulations
which will be the subject of a
city-wide referendum tomorrow.
Mr.. Peabody. entering the
zoning controversy for the first
time. answered statements of
those who seek to change the
existing zoning procedure.
The referendum question is
whether present zoning regula-
tionS in the charter shall be
amended to permit a majority of
the city council to override
negative recommendations Of
the planning commission. A
three-fourths vote of council
now is required in such cases.
Five members of city council
have indorsed the proposed
change.
Mr.. Peabody recalled that
several council members have
called the planning commission
"ultra-conservative" in it's atti-
tude toward row housing. One
councilman has said the plan
ming commission was Sitting

city"
To those charges Mr.. Peabody
replied:
"What are the facts? Within
the past six months the planning
commission has recommended to
council the approval Of the Hume
tract in the old section of the

the annexed area, both Of which

row housing. Some few months
prior to that the commission ap-
proved Kenwood Towers, which
is entirely row housing. The
commission expects criticism, but
wishes the critics to be sure Of
their facts before making such
statements.
"As to the charge that the
commission is sitting industrial
development, the planning COM
mission recommended in the
zoning of the annexed (Fairfax
County, area that more than
1000 acres-or 25 per cent of the
total annexation territory-be
zoned industrial. Ample area
within both the old and the new
annexed areas have been recon-
mended to council for multiple
and row housing. -"
Mr.. Peabody said the COM
mission felt it should function
to protect the interests of all
citizens-"not merely those who
attend its meetings nor those
who will gain great advantages
as a result of it's decisions"
Defending the three-fourths
vote rule, he declared that each
rezoning ordinance is an amend
ment to the city charter. He said
a three-fourths vote is required
to amend the Constitution, and
a two-thirds vote Is required to
override a presidential veto.

majority may do things that
seriously wrong minorities. ana
the three -fourths rule is a recog-
tion of this fact" he added.

Virginia Legislators
-
Asked 10 Introduce
Hatch Act Changes

Harrison Mann, Arlington
County Democratic leader, to-
day asked Virginia's two Sena-
tors and Republican Represent
ative Broyhill of the 10th Dis
trict to sponsor an amendment
to the Hatch Act so Govern
ment workers can participate in
party politics in local elections.
MIR. Mann sent copies of a
proposed amendment to Mr..
Broyhill and Senators Byrd and
Robertson. The amendment
would require the Civil Service
Commission to permit Federal
workers to take part in partisan
politics at the local level in
those political subdivisions
where the commission allows
non-partisan activity.
"The present situation, where
by Government employees may
only participate in the election
of local officials if they organize
local third parties and oppose
the candidates of the national
political parties, is most un-
sound and highly discrimina-
tory" Mr.. Mann said. He added
that Government employees
should receive the protection of
the Hatch Act on the national
basis, but said mo justification
exists for not permitting Federal
employees participation in COM
munities like ours, restricted to
local or community level"
Mr.. Mann said he favored
broadening the law to permit
Federal employees to participate
in local affairs with the party
