New Subdivision Asked
To Create Buffer Zone

The Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion yesterday was asked to with
draw its approval of 5000 square
foot lots in an area adjoining
Bradley Hills Grove.
The Bradley Boulevard Citi-
zens' Association damned the
Silver Spring liquor dispensary
hearing room, where the COM
mission met on plans for a new
subdivision known as West Brad
moor at Greentree and Ferwood
roads. Philip Milestone said he
was going to put houses to sell
between $4,000 and $4,000 on
lots averaging about 1000 square
feet.
Residents of the area said
they feared the homes would
lower the value of their resi-
dences which lie on lots no small
er than a half-acre. They asked
that the lot sizes in the new sub
division nearest them be in
creased in size to act as a buff
fer zone between their rural
residential coming classification
and the new R-60 zone.
The commission agreed to work
with committee from the citi-
zens' association and Mr.. Mile
stone to come to a compromise
on the buffer zone request.

(Catfish) Turner. convicted for
mer head of a narcotics ring

spiracy and bribery.

Judge then said he would ap-
point one.
The total bond for Carper and
Taylor was the same as that set
after a previous indictment

Planners Consider
Changes for Future
Redeye|opment Jobs

A committee of the National
Capital Planning Commission
today reported the present re-
development plan for Southwest
Washington does not preclude
"bold and imaginative" rehabili-
tation.
The report was prepared in
answer to groups which think the
present plan doesn't call for the
best possible use of the area.
The commission took it under
advisement. Members of the
committee were Col. Harry Han
sen, assistant engineer commits
sioner; John Nolen. jr., commits
sion executive director, and John
R. Searles. jr.. executive director
of the District Redevelopment
Land Agency.
The report said that in view
OF the substantial study and
planning which already has gone
into the Southwest area it would
be difficult to justify funds for a
completely new approach.
The report added. however,
that it would be appropriate to
consider some changes in the
plan for the next Southwest
project area.
Groups asking for changes in
cluded the Washington Building
Congress. the Washington Real
Estate Board. the Washington
Metropolitan Home Builders, the
Washington Chapter of the
American Institute of Architects
and the Washington Board of
Trade.
The report specifically recon-
mended keeping the wholesale
produce center and continuing
the commercial frontage on
Maine avenue along the water
front.

Council Backs
Use Of Animals
For Research
Advisory Group
Rejects PIon for
Heroism Awards

The Commissioners Citizens
Advisory Council today approved
the proposal to make impounded
animals available for medical re-
search. but suggested two amend
ments.
The council recommended that
animals be kept 10 days at the
Pound, instead of five days, be-
fore being turned over to au-
thorized research institutions.
The second suggestion was
that no animals be furnished
unless medical Institutions pro-
vide adequate quarters. The
housing standards should be set
by the Health Department, the
council said.
Decision Pending.
Final action on the contro.
versial measure is pending. The
Commissioners have held public
hearings on the proposal, which
drew opposition from opponents
of vivisection.
In another action the council
recommended against creation
of a service awards committee
which has been suggested as
means of determining which
private citizens should be singled
out for recognition for heroic
or outstanding service.
Plan TV Appearance.
The proposal was briefly dis
cussed by the Commissioners
several weeks ago and referred
to the council for a recon-
mendation. Council members
said they felt such a committee
would be swamped with SUCCESS
tons by individuals naming per-
sons who may not be entitled to
such awards.
Three members of the coun-
Gil were named to substitute for
the Commissioners next Wednes-
day on the Commissioners Re.
port television show over WMAL-
TV. The Commissioners have
said they will not be able to
appear because of another en-
gagement.
Joseph Kaufman, j. c.
Turner and William Smith were
named.

Al Reaches Run
The Northern Virginia Region

The Northern Virginia Region
al Planning and Economic De-
velopment Commission last night
Endorsed an analysis of Potomac
River bridge needs. which IA
vored a new crossing at Reaches
Run.
The Reaches Run bridge is
the one the National Capital
Planning Commission is sup
porting. The District Commits
sioners want the bridge to be
at E street. across Theodore
Roosevelt Island.
The regional commission,
meeting in the Alexandria City
Hall, Endorsed a report prepared
by John Graham. OF Falls
Church. Mr.. Graham is a mem
Der of the commissions roads
and transportation committee.
Initial Endorsement.
The commission previously
had voted opposition to the E
street bridge but had not in
dorsed any alternative.
One commission member pres
ent. Alvin Kimel, of the Ar
lington County Board, voted in
opposition. He said he still be-
lieves E street is the best bridge
site and pointed out the Ar
lington County Board Is sup
porting the Etstreet bridge.
The commission also heard a
report from Max Wehrly. chair
man of the Roads and Transport
tation Committee, on the Smith
study on highway needs for Vir-
ginia. This report was prepared
by wilbur Smith and Associates
for the State Legislature.
Careful Study Advised.
Mr.. Wehrly said his committee
felt the four main proposals az
fecting the Northern Virginia
area need careful study by the
commission.
These four are a Potomac Ex-
pressway, connecting Route !
with a proposed Jones Point
Bridge at Alexandria and run
ming through a portion Of old
Alexandria; a Falls Church ex-
pressway. connecting a new
bridge above Key Bridge on the
Potomac River with Route SO
near Falls Church: an immediate
route through the Virginia area
and an outer loop.
Mr.. Wehrly termed the idea OF
routing an expressway through
old Alexandria impractical be-
cause of the land acquisition
costs. He also criticized the plan
to put truck traffic on Mount
Vernon Memorial Highway as
part of this expressway.
Doubts Practicability.
He found sections of the Falls
Church expressway impractical,
also because of land acquisitions.
The intermediate route is in
agreement with Arlington Coun-
tvs plans and the outer loop is
needed, but too far down in the
priority list, he added.
The commission will study the
report and send comments to the
State Legislature.
Philip Hall of Alexandria,
chairman of the commission,
presided.

ABERDEEN. Md, Jan. 29.--
The crowd cheered for unity"
and harmony" but the two
Democratic candidates for the
Maryland Governors nominal
ton failed even to shake hands
last night.
DR.. H. c. Byrd and George P.
Mahoney. the opponents, were
brought together for the first
time at a party meeting by Mil
lard Tydings, the former Sena-
tor. to pose for photographers.
"Shake hands," prompted a
photographer.
Mr.. Mahoney put out his hand.
So did DR.. Byrd. and then on
second thought withdrew it. DR..
Byrd remained adamant against
urging, while Mr.. Mahoney stood
embarrassed and f1abbergasted.
Byrd Office Explains.
Campaign headquarters Of DR..
Byrd In Baltimore today issued
this statement on why he would
not shake hands with Mr.. Ma
honey:
He will debate with Mahoney
on any platform and speak to
him when they meet.
HE will not shake hands.
"He feels Mahoney misrepre-
sented the situation last week
about the controllership and
then called Byrd liar to cover
up.
HE does not react pleasantly
to this"
The statement was issued by
E. Brooke Lee. manager of the
Byrd headquarters.
DR.. Byrd and Mr.. Mahoney
crossed swords last week about
who offered whom what in dis
cussions involving the control
lership.
If DR.. Byrd doesn't want to
shake hands with me. that is his
own affair."" replied Mr.. Ma
honey. HE is within his rights
not to do so.
But am sure that thousands
upon thousands of Maryland
voters will shake my hand be-
tween now and election day.
Thousands have done so during
the past few months. The voters
are the ones who count"
Stresses Sincerity in Talk.
The Aberdeen unity" and
harmony" signs were at either
end of the Recreation Hall where
265 diners came to raise party
funds. DR.. Byrd proceeded to
add sincerity" as a Democratic
slogan and neither candidate
mentioned the other in their
talks.
Those who aspire to places in
Government have an obligation
and a responsibility for that sin
cerity of purpose that leads
people not to make a lot of
promises they cannC- keep" DR..
Byrd said.
"A candidate who stands and
promises people better schools,
health service, agricultural serv-
ice and so forth. and says at the
same time he will reduce taxes
is knowingly making a statement
that is not true.
1.-THE only promise make is
there is sincerity in everything

Would Lose Backlog.
The revenue is expected to
shrink in future years below the
estimated 5000, 900 for fiscal 1855.
This is because of a current back
log of 100000 which would be
cleaned up through the enforce
ment plan. The backlog, Mr..
Holl said, is a homecoming
item. But there would be a saw
ing in future years. he added,
because personnel needed to
