zoniing Change
Voted Down
In Alexandria
O'FIoherty Elected
Councilman for
Unexpired Term

Alexandria voters soundly de-
feated a proposed change in
zoning regulations and chose
Daniel Fairfax O'Flaherty for the
City Council, in a special mu-
nicipal election yesterday.
The proposed zoning amend
ment was defeated by a vote of
1881 to 1,577. according to COM
plete, unofficial returns.
MIR. O'Flaherty, 27-year-old
attorney, won over two other
candidates with a vote Of 2,030.
The other candidates and the
votes they received were James
T. .Luckett, jr., 1859, and Mayo
Edwin Barrett, 1875.
Serves Until 1855.
Mr.. O'Flaherty will serve the
uneXpired term of former Coun-
Gilman Franklin P. Backus, who
was appointed junior judge of
the Alexandria Corporation
Court. He will take Office as soon
as the oath is administered.
The term expires in 1855.
The proposed zoning amend
ment, which the voters rejected,
would have permitted the City
Council to override negative rec
concentrations of the planning
commission with a majority vote.
Existing regulations require a
three-fourthS vote.
The outcome of the referen-
dunn is not binding, but members
OF Council said they would abide
by the result.
Zoning Vote Disappoints.
The decisive defeat of the zon-
ing change was a disappointment
for most members of the Coun-
Gil. Five councilmen indorsed the
proposed change, contending the
elected members of City Council
should not be bound SO easily
by decisions of an appointed
group like the planning COM
mission.
Only one of the present Coun-
Gil members. Frank E. Mann,
opposed the amendment. Mr..
O'Flaherty. also .campaigned
against it.
Foes of the change argued
that it would ease zoning
changes and weaken the city's
master plan.
The total vote yesterday was
5.209. The city has about $4,000
registered voters.

Maryland Senators

No Break Seen

lands weary but still warning
Senators were to resume their
battle for control of the State
Senate at noon today.
There was no indication of
any break in the deadlock, which
has stalled the General Assem-
bly, for eight days.
All told, 73 ballots have been
taken in that time-in Demo-
cratic caucus rooms and on the
floor Of the Senate. But the
Senators were no closer to set

were last Tuesday night.

Ternpers flared momentarily
on the Senate floor last night.
The hareup came after the II
insurgent Sybert. baokers asked
the Della bloc if it would accept
some other Sybert man, aside
from Mr.. Sybert himself, for
Senate president. The answer
was no.
In the course of an angry
exchange between Senator Louis
L. Goldstein of Calvert County,
majority leader under Mr.. Della,
and Senator John G. Turnbull
of Baltimore County, leader in
the rebel group, it was learned i:
The Della group, on Monday
night. offered to relinquish the
floor leadership and judiciary
Committee chairmanships to the
Sybert bloc, in exchange for the
presidency. AS an alternative,
they offered to support Mr.. Sy-
bert for president, if they could
retain the floor leadership and
judiciary chairmanships.
Proposals Rejected.
Both proposals were rejected.
They were. in reverse, the same
offers put forth last Thursday
by Sybert followers.

utes last night and recessed until

"a legislative requests presented
by the county's delegation to
the Maryland General Assembly.
The list was drawn up. with the
commissioners blessing, by
County Attorney C Calvert
Lancaster.
Also on the commissioners
legislative program is a plea for
more home rule. Many of the
items on Mr.. Lancaster's list,

More Home Rule Asked.
Delegate j. Frank Lillard, jr.,
Republican of Prince Georges,
has said he intends to grant the
county more horne rule by
amending his 1851 bill, under
which the county government is
now organized
Prince Georges also would
be given more autonomy under
Sobeloff Commission bills, COM
ing before the Assembly this ses-
sion. These bills would grant
more home rule to Maryland
cities and counties generally.
Mr.. Lancaster and County
Personnel Director Harold Rice
are now drafting merit pro-
gram, patterned after the State
system. They will present it to
the delegation later. It specifical-
ly exempts department heads
and elected officials, Mr.. Lam
caster said.
Finance Department Sought.
Another major item on the
list asks authority for the county
to set up a department of
finance by combining, under the
county treasurer's Office, the Of
fees Of a county controller and
assessor.
Other legislation requested by
the commissioners include:
A law to give the commission
ers authority to set up a dog
pound and centralize sale of dog
tags in Hyattsville and Upper
Marlboro.
A law to authorize the COM
missioners to create an insur-
ance fund so the county can
carry it's own insurance on
school and other public build
ings.
A law to transfer control of
the library system from the
State to the county.

A law to give the commission
ers more control over motels.
