Site Of La Fontaine's S
Casino Rezoned for
Commercial Center

The site of Jimmy LaFon-
taine's once-notorious gambling
casino on the Prince Georges
County District boundary line at
Bladensburg road soon will be-
come a modern industrial and
commercial center.
Plans already are on the draw
ing boards for a large ware
house and Office building to be
constructed by Giant Food
Stores on the northeastern part
of the 28-acre tract.
The Prince Georges County
Commissioners set the stage for
construction Of the center yes
terday by approving industrial
and commercial zoning for the
201a-acre section of the LaFon-
taine tract in Prince Georges.
Purchaser of the tract from
the LaFontaine estate was dis
closed as Decker & Associates
Of Washington.
They are seeking similar re-
coming for the 71a acres of the
tract across Eastern avenue in
the District.
Fred w. Tuemmler, commu-
nifty planning consultant, who
represented Decker & Asso-
ciates at the zoning hearing
in Hyattsville. said his clients
plan to put up warehouses and
Office buildings on the remainder
Of the tract, with spur line con-
nections to the nearby Baltimore
& Ohio Railroad tracks.
He said negotiations are under
way to lease parts of the center
to an electronics firm and a
Photographic supply house.
Mr.. Tuemmler said the build
ings planned will be modern and
considerably more attractive
than the long abandoned gamb-
ling casino now located there.

ne-Package Fund
Drive Described as
Decision for Public

Washington residents must de-
eide whether or not they want a
one package fund campaign. a
Community Chest Federation
official said yesterday.
Ferdinand v. Grayson, the
federation's executive director
told group of United Commu-
nifty Services volunteers that
switching to a consolidated drive
"is up to the public"
The matter was raised in
reference to plans revealed by
the Civil Service Commission
last week that. Embarrassing
solicitations in Federal Govern
ment agencies next year will be
conducted through a single
campaign.
Commission Chairman Philip
Young also announced, at that
time, that the Government is
comforting with community fund
raisers on the possibility of a
united drive for all charitable
and welfare contributions here.
Movement Spreading.
Mr.. Grayson, a former execu-
tive director of the UCS, told
the volunteer workers there sis a
united fund movement through
out the United States"
He added that everyone of us
should think about this thing
very seriously" as it is a subject
which requires great statesman
ship"
Asked after the meeting what
specific method might be en-
ployed to obtain Washington's
viewpoint on a single-package
campaign, Mr.. Grayson replied
he did not know.
It was pointed out that, be-
fore such a plan was adopted, a
careful estimate should be made
to see if a consolidated drive
here would raise sufficient funds.
Goals Unrealized.
Campaign results under the
present setup have fallen short
of set goals for many years, al
though the total funds raised
have increased each year since
1947.
Yesterdays session was con-
Quoted on a question and
answer basis to educate the vol
understanding on the Board
OF Trustees, or members of ad-
visory committees of various
CCS groups-on how the or
ganization operates. Questions
were answered by a six-member
panel.
In addition to Mr.. Grayson
and Mr.. McGarraghy, other
panel members were Michael v.
Avarlzato. assistant to the ex-
ecutive secretary. Family and
Child Welfare Service; Mrs.
Hulda Hubbell, director Of UCS
Volunteer Services Department;
Isadore Seeman. assistant execu-
tive director Of UCS, and Miss
Josephine Albrecht. secretary of
the Health Section.
The UCS operates in the dual
role Of Washington's Community
Chest and Welfare Planning
Council. The UCS and five
Community Chest groups in
nearby Maryland and Virginia
make up the Community Chest
Federation.

on Maine avenue or Independ-
ence avenue to Seventh street
Sc. before turning north.
The Legion has worked un-
successfully to get the Federal
Government to dismiss it's en-
ployes for half q day. The idea
was to permit them to see the
parade and also to help cut down
on congestion resulting from q
late-afternoon exodus onto the
crowded streets.
Young Opposes Plea.
Chairman Philip Young of the
Civil Service Commission said
the half holiday would be un-
justified in view of the $1.9-mil-
lion cost to taxpayers. He rec
commended, instead. that Federal
workers take annual leave on
August 81. He figures a rela-
lively small force will report for
work that day and will not ap-
preciably increase the crowd
problem.
E. G. Giddings, vice president
Of the Capital Transit Co., said
today he agrees with Mr.. Young
that the Legion parade-and
practically all others in WASH
gton-should be staged only on
Constitution avenue.
Constitution avenue was laid
out for the purpose" said Mr..
Giddings. We've been trying
to convince the Commissioners
for 10 years that that is the
place for parades."
Mr.. Giddings said any pro-
cession along Pennsylvania ave-
nue. ties up the transit system
"aS tight as q drum" because
all Of its major downtown lines
are keyed into operations on
the Avenue and the intersecting
streets.

Bigger Budget
For Welfare in
Sc Forecast
More Payments for
Relief and Larger
Stuffs Responsible

Budget estimates for the Dis
trict Welfare Department will be
considerably bigger" in fiscal
1856 than were actual appro-
priations of $13.7 million for the
current fiscal year, it was learned
today.
Increased demands for relief
payments in all categories, as
well as additional stating for
new institutions provided under
the public works improvement
program, are chifly responsible.
Welfare officials were com.
pletely close-mouthed as to the
size Of their budget request for
the next fiscal year. Welfare
Director Gerard M. Shea pointed
out. however, that while the de-
partment is budgeted to handle
only 1900 cases during the cur
rent fiscal year. more than 5000
cases are being carried. These
involve more than $4,000 in
dividuals.
More Personnel for Center.
Expanded capital improve
ments at the Children's Center
near Laurel, Md, due to be COM
pleted before the start OF fiscal
1856. will mean more custodial
personnel. For example, the
shift OF, children to the Laurel
center from the Industrial Home
School at Blue Plains and from
foster homes will raise the num-
Der OF public wards in public
institutions by more than 100
from the present $50 to 500.
Public officials, from Com
missioner Renah F. Camalier
on down the line, have in recent
months voiced concern over a
decline in employment here. Mr..
Camalier pointed out that the
more the unemployment rolls
increase the greater the demand
for public assistance.
Mr.. Camalier conferred yes
terday with Welfare Director
Shea and Deputy Director DON
aid Brewer on the 1856 budget
estimates. At the conclusion of
the discussion Mr.. Camalier said
the welfare budget estimates
probably will be ready for SUBJ
mission to the District Budget
Office in time to meet the S pm.
deadline today.
Clue to Highway Budget.
Highway Director John N.
Robertson, meanwhile, outlined
his departmental budget re-
quests for 1856 In a talk before
the District Trucking Associa-
ton in the Mayflower Hotel
yesterday.
Mr.. Robertson refused to
specify the sums involved. But
ne enumerated the principal
projects as follows:
Continuing development of the
southwest freeway 1854 million
in $3.50 Federal and District
funds was appropriated for the
current fiscal year,.
Beginning the Twenty-fourth
Street Bridge across the Potomac
to Virginia ($400,OOO in Federal
District funds was appropriated
this year for drawing plans for a
central crossing).
Widening L and I streets NV.
where those thoroughfsres are
narrower than 40 feet.
Connecting Whitehurst free
way with Rock Creek Park.
Little more than half of The
District governments 80 agencies
had turned in their estimates by
closing time yesterday. Budget
,Ofncer Walter l.. Fowler warned
that estimates should be kept to
a minimum. This has been MIR.
Fowler's usual admonition over
the years, but this time he called
the Commissioners attention to
looming deficits that may mean
either still higher taxes or sery-
ice cutbacks as early as next
