County Liquor Store
System Suggested
For Prince Georges
Byo staff Correspondent Of The stor


ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 7.-Dele-
gate William r. Hughes. Repub-
lican, Of Prince Georges, yester-
day announced a plan which he
feels will eventually give his
county a liquor dispensary sys-
tenn similar to that in Mont
gomery County.
Mr.. Hughes, in a statement,
proposed that when the $50 ex-
listing liquor licenses in his
county are revoked or aban-
doned, they be taken out of
circulation.
AS new areas develop, he said,
county liquor stores can be
opened instead of issuing new
licenses for private package
stores. He also suggested that
county stores might be placed in
areas where residents have. sue
cesSfully opposed the establish
ment of private liquor outlets.
He also would ban the trans
fer of existing liquor licenses
either to new locations or to new
owners.
To eliminate what he called
"the honky- -tonks." the delegate
proposed mandatory revocation
of any liquor license whose
owner was twice convicted Of
violating county liquor laws.
He suggested that profit from
the county liquor stores be
turned over to the county school
system,

|Prentiss Urges
Water Front
Plans Restudy
Assurance of Tie-ln
With Southwest
Project Sought

A reStudy Of plans for further
development Of the Washington
water front along Maine avenue
was urged yesterday by Brig.
Gen. Louis W. PrentisS, Engi-
neer Commissioner.
The need for the study stems
from two causes. The first is
the changed set Of conditions
since the development plan was
approved by Congress in the
mid-1930s. The other is to make
sure it fits hand-in-glove with
the proposed redevelopment of
Southwest Washington.
Gen. Prentiss, addressing a
luncheon meeting Of the Wash
ington Board Of Trade River
and Harbor Committee, noted
that only about Is per cent of
the river front development has
been finished. Included in the
finished work are two yacht
basins and two piers.
Higher Cost Factor.
Increased construction costs
in recent years have eaten up
most Of the money estimated
for the complete development
job in 1885.
Gen. Prentiss pointed out that
public policy recently has been
to spend funds for rivers and
harbors only if projects con-
tribute directly to the national
defense.
But I am sure this condition
will not last forever" he added.
The Commissioners, he said.
consider the most essential prof.
ect to be a combined-use pier
Tor structures to house harbor
police and fire units. These
units now occupy separate sites.
Funds for the pier were re-
quested by the Office of the
District Engineer, Corps of Army
Engineers, but were knocked out
OF the Presidents proposed 1854
budget. Under the development
plan, the engineers construct the
projects. then turn them over
to the District. The city already
has contributed to the program
a share of money originally
planned for the new police-fire
pier.
Asks Backing of Bridges.
In addition, Gen. Prentiss:
l. Urged the committee to
study and recommend when ac-
tlon should be taken to finish
reclamation of land along the
AnacoStia River.
2. Urged support. for new Po-
tomac River bridges at Jones
Point. near Alexandria, and in
an area that would serve CEN
trail Washington. The strong
est controversy over a new CEN
tral span centers around the
District Highway Departments
drive for a bridge extending from
E street NV. Gen. Prentiss
noted that staff studies of pos
sible locations for the central
bridge are to be presented at
the next meeting of the National
Capital Planning Commission.

HARRISONBURG, Va, Mar.
7.-Gordon Delawder is recover
ing from the bites of a probably
rabid 20-pound wildcat which he

after the cat attacked him near
here
Mr.. Delawder, a tinberman of
Bird Haven in Shenandoah
County, is wearing bandages on
his cheek and right hand and is
recovering from the effects of
anti-rabies injections.
Tests on the brain of the dead
animal, made at the State labo-
ratory at Luray, showed that it
probably was rabid. The carcass
was returned to Mr.. Delawder as
souvenir.
It all began a week ago when
Mr.. Delawder stopped his car,
as usual, before the gate at Will
mer Hensberger's home. They
were going to Ashby Vansler's
woods where they were skidding
logs.
AS he started through the
gate an animal jumped from
somewhere, and landed on his
shoulders. Mr.. Delawder turned
his head quickly and the animal
sank its teeth into his left cheek
and held on.
II made a grab for it with my
right hand" he said. eft released
its hold on my cheek and bit my
hand"
He managed to wrestle the
animal, still clinging to his hand,
to the ground between his knees.
He choked it to death with his
left hand.

This was behind the per-
centage achieved at the second

and $4,000 behind in cash,
Fund Director Randolph Bishop
reported.
II think these figures are a
matter of concern to every one

1--WE must not fail the Red
Cross"
Provide Human Touch.
"The Red Cross is again pro-
viding service reaching hun
dreds of thousands of Americans
in uniform at home and abroad"
he said. Hundreds of Red Cross
staff and field workers are in
Korea, bringing a great human
touch to an otherwise bitter and
impersonal war"
He spoke of the comfort to
servicemen in knowing that the
Red Cross was standing by in
case of need among their fam
lilies, and the realization. that
their Nation is concerned with
their individual and personal
welfare.
He said recreational breaks in
routine are welcome in the tedi-
Gus life Of a man in battle. and
he. noted the expansion of the
Red Cross overseas recreational.
and canteen services.
And, he added. "only combat
man who is still alive today be-
cause of the blood bank can tell
Of the great Importance Of this
Red Cross program"

Accord Awaited
On Successor
For Donohue
Naming Of ] or z
New Commissioners
Expected Soon

A Capitol Hill wag took an
other look today at the Com
missioner riddle and commented
that the hens a-Setting but the
eggs won't hatch.
That sums up the situation
with respect to the makeup of
the Districts governing body
under the Eisenhower adminis-
tration.
A White House announcement
was still awaited. President
Eisenhower soon will appoint at
least one new commissioner and
possibly two.
Who they will be remained as
much a mystery as it was when
the administration took Office
in January.
Accord of Factions Awaited.
The President, presumably,
was waiting for the two big fac
tions in the Republican Party
here to reach accord on nomi-
nations. The factions are re-
ported sharply divided between
conservative and liberal candi-
dates.
The resignation of Commits
sioner F. Joseph Donohue has
been on the Presidents desk since
January %. Some Republicans
had hoped that another Dem
ocratic commissioner, Renah F.
Camalier, also would step aside.
It would be easier to satisfy the
feuding COP factions if each
could put across one candidate
than it would be to obtain agree
ment on a single nominee.
Senator Case, chairman of the
Senate District Committee. told
reporters Thursday that the
White House would make an an
nouncement on the Commission
er posts by today.
But rumors circulated last
night that still further delay may
follow.
Deluge of Letters.
District Republican leaders
are holding almost continuous
conferences in an effort to set
tie their differences. Meanwhile,
members of Congress and the
White House staff are being
flooded with letters and tele-
grams backing various candi-
dates.
Senator Cases strong support
of Walter L. Fowler, District
budget officer, boosted the Fowl
er stock yesterday but steady
work in behalf of other pros
poets left doubt about the out
come.
A late conner to the race re-
portedly gaining favor is Ray
mond Dickey, 35-year-old law
yer who once served as counsel
to the Senate Small Business
Committee. He has the advan-
tage of being an early pre-
convention supporter of Gen.
Eisenhower for the presidential
nomination.
Still very much in the picture
are Samuel Spencer. AZ, a law
yer aligned with the Eisenhower
draft movement. and Claude w
Owen, At. a wholesale plumbing
and heating firm owner. Mr..
Owen is among the conservative
candidates.
Also still mentioned frequently
are Jesse Mitchell, Negro bank
president, and Mrs. Howard A.
Coffin, the Districts Republican
national committeewoman.
