Arlington Adopts
New Building Code,
Effective October |

The Arlington County Board
today adopted standard build
ing code for the county. It is
designed to permit savings in
construction costs and allow
greater flexibility Of design"
James M. McHugh, Arlington
architect who headed the county
boards Advisory Committee on
the code. said its adoption rep
reSentS the elimination of more
than two years Of intensive effort
on the part of the committee and
county officials"
The new code, he said, was
developed by the Building on
Gals Conference of America.
1t establishes performance" re-
quirements rather than rules
specifying certain materials for
certain purposes.
Former Code Called Obsolete.
The code, in effect, sets up
goals for builders and permits
the use Of materials to reach
the goals, Mr.. McHugh said.
The BOCA code was recon-
mended by County Manager
A. T. Lundberg. The Advisory
Committee to study it was estab-
liShed in March, 1851.
Critics of Arlington's old build
ing code declared it was obsolete
and that insufficient copies of
it were available to builders.
The new code. which will be-
come effective October l, pro-
videS for fire limits, regulations
governing construction. altera-
tions, equipment or removal Of
buildings.
Establishes 5-Man Board.
The ordinance also establishes
flve-man, non-Salaried, adj
viSory board to handle appeals
and amendments.
Mr.. McHugh said Arlington
adoption of the BOCA code re-
fleets the effort Of Metropolitan
Area communities to standardIze
building codes. Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties have
adopted it, but it is still under
consideration in the District,
Alexandria and Fairfax County.

Tighter Regulations
In Prince Georges

Prince Georges County plans
to tighten regulations governing
day nurseries.
A public hearing will be held
August 4 on proposed amend
ments to an ordinance governing
such establishments. The hear
ing has been set for II am. at

Commissioner Edward j.
Waters suggested the changes
yesterday at the boards meet
ing in the county seat. His
motion to advertise the hearing

School Board Asks
Court 10 Bar Further
Lawsuits by Green

John Locke Green's latest move
in the Arlington School Board
contest of pending litigation"
was countered yesterday after
noon by petition filed in Ar
lington Circuit Court in behalf
Of the school board.
The board. through its attor-
neyS, James H. Sirnmonds and
Armistead L. Boothe. asked the
court to restrain Mr.. Green
from instituting any further
litigation questioning in any way
the qualification of it's mem
O6rS
Attorney Green's newest suit,
filed yesterday in the Circuit
Court, reiterated the allegation
that three school board men,
bers are unqualified to serve be-
cause they are also Federal en-
ployes.
The suit, it was emphasized
by the filing parties, was insti-
tuted in behalf Of another Ar
lington attorney, Miles Spence
Bray, who cited his interest as
a citizen and taxpayer.
Complete Ban Asked.
The school board suit, how
ever, also asks the court to re-
strain Mr.. Green from aiding,
abetting. counseling, encourag-
ing" any other person to insti-
tute proceedings against the
school board in regard to its
three members qualifications.
The boards petition to the
court declares that the threat
ened action of the defendant
(Mr. Green) would constitute an
abuse of judicial process and
would inflict great and irrepara-
BILE damage to the complainant,
to the taxpayers and to the ed
ucation Of the school children of
Arlington County"
The series of suits, appeals.
court reversals and petitions for
rehearing has. as q result of
yesterdays two actions, returned
to the court in which the whole
affair began last September.
It was then that Mr.. Green,
former treasurer Of Arlington
County, filed the first suit ques-
tioning the right of Board Mem
bers Warren Cox, DR.. E. r. Dra-
helm and DR.. Barnard Joy to
serve.
Court Reversed.
The Arlington court upheld
Mr.. Green's contention last jan
uary q.
The Virginia Supreme Court
of Appeals reversed that decision
on June 8.
Mr.. Green's petition for re-
hearing was denied on July Is.
Yesterdays suit filed by Mr..
Green cited IAN apparent mis-
leading stipulation" in the ear
lier case which induced the Su-
preme Court of Appeals of Vir-
ginia to believe that said de-
PENDANTS were minor employees
Of the Government"
The school board, harassed by
pending litigation" in its efforts
to sell $2.8 million worth of bonds
for school construction work,
Thursday night voted to seek
SIS million from another source
"a loan from the State Literary
Fund.
Previously. the board request
ed help from the States Battle
Fund for school construction.
June construction bills and arch
itectural fees due on July 10
totalled $548,220.
Whether or not the Arlington
Court which last September up
held Mr.. Green's first suit will
decide to "enjoin and restrain"
him from further action, may be
determined at 1870 pm. Tuesday.
A hearing of it's complaints
and allegations at that time has
been requested Of the court by
the school board, Attorney Sim
mondS said late yesterday.

Text of Zoning Report

siderable thought to the desir-
ability of including the univer.
sity property within this "A"
restricted classification but con-
cluded that the probable ex-
tension Of the university as an
institution of higher learning
to the remainder of the campus
would provide an adequate bar
rier between the single-family
home area to the south and west
and the apartment classification
then and now existing east Of
Nebraska avenue and that there
fore no change of the coming
of the university property would
be necessary.
"Since that date development
in the home area, which, for all
practical purposes, substantially
surrounds the campus although
not developed with homes along
the north side of Massachusetts,
avenue, has been material, con-
sisting almost entirely of at
tractive dwellings which can be
designated in the main as being
in the upper price bracket. The
contention of these home own
ers is that the intrusion of a
large hospital with attendant
traffic of visitors, doctors. en-
ployes and others doing legiti-
mate business with an institu-
ton of this type will subStanti-
ally impair the value and use Of
many of the homes contiguous
to and within close proximity to
the proposed location. The
! Council believes that this con-
uion is subStantiated fully by the
facts and a review of the zone
plan. The latter which projects
the residential "a" classification
of the campus area quite like the
proverbial "sore thumb" into
the restricted area west of Ne
braska avenue. has, except for
the university as such, no legiti-
mate planning purpose in the
opinion of the council. The
change, we think, is essential in
the public interest.
For the reasons outlined. and
the fact that an "A" restricted
coming will not make American
University noncomforming, the
council recommends that the
petition by the Spring Valley
Wesley Heights Citizens Associa-
ton be granted as requested"

Payne Parents Vote
local Out Children
To Protest CroWdinq

The parents of colored stu
dents at Payne Elementary
School have voted to call their
children out of school in a
protest strike and will set the
date at a meeting tonight.
Some 200 members of the
Payne-Maury Elementary School
Parent Teacher Association
voted the action last night.
The strike is to continue until
the Board of Education does
something about what the par
ents called overcrowded condi-
tons at the Payne School at
Fifteenth and c streets Sc. The
parents said they also would
picket the Franklin Building at
Thirteenth and K streets NV,
the school administration build
ing.
The same parents called their
children out of school in Deem
Der, 1851, in a similar dispute
with the School Board.
May Rezone District.
School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing said if the present classes
were reduced in size to the
standard of SO pupils per class,
las students would be left over
He said the two additional class
rooms in the auditorium will
help reduce the class size as a
temporary measure.
t He pointed out that the near
by Maury Elementary School for
colored children has two empty
clasSrooms. 1t serves part OF
the same area served by the
Payne and is just over a half
mile away.
Dr.. Corning said he could
transfer the las surplus Payne
students to Maury, but the par
ents had a legitimate objection
to that since such shifts are
never good for the children. Mex
year. he continued. it may be
necessary to change the bound
aries of the two schools, thus
causing some of the Payne stu
dents-or new students in the
area-to go to Maury.
The parents want the schoo
board to transfer either the
Bryan or Buchanan Elementar!
Schools, both in the same neigh
borhood, from white to coloreC
students.
The Payne PTA said enroll
ment at the school was 500. This
