LA PLATA, Md, Dec. 22.-
Pleas for official Endorsement Of
proposed legislation to abolish
slot machines and ban Sunday
sales Of all alcoholic beverages
are under study today by
Charles County's new commits
sioners.
The requests were placed
before the board yesterday by
the two leaders Of an embryo
reform movement. the Rev.
Joseph z. Greene, pastor of the
Waldorf Baptist Church, and
Eugene Goddard. operator of q
building supply firra in the same
town.
Pointed questions directed at
Mr.. Goddard enliyened the
hearing, the first open session
the board has held since its in
duction December Z.
New commissioners elected
November q in voting which
gave Democrats control Of the
county government for the first
time in more than 90 years are
John L. Sullivan and w. Edward
Berry, Democrats, and r..
Vernon Cooksey, former sheriff.
q Republican. Mr.. Sullivan is
board president.
In an executive session pre-
ceding the public hearing, the
board conferred at length with
It's counsel. Rudolf A. Carrico,
and Democratic Delegate elect.
John r. Parran, jr. Mr.. Parran
will represent the county In the
General Assembly with two Re-
publicans, State Senator James
B. Monroe and Delegate John
w. jenkins.
Mr.. Parran attended the hear
ing. Afterward. he said he is
studying county conditions
closely but is not prepared to
forecast what legislation he may
introduce.
Mr.. Greene based his pleas on
moral grounds. and the COM
IaissionerS assured him they
were convinced Of his sincerity.
Shots Of whisky sliding across
bars and slot machines gobbling
up coins on Sundays while
church services are in progress,
said Mr.. Greene, confuse the
minds Of teen-agers and deprive
them Of moral standards by
which they might be guided.
The commissioners pointed
out that present law permits
sale Of beer and wine on Sun
days but bars sale Of hard liquor.

star htaA photo.

The Maryland State Roads,
Commission yesterday made an
other effort to get Montgomery
County to approve the dead
ending Of Rockville's Monroe
street at the new National pike.
I The appeal to the County
Council was combined with q
warning that the roads commits
sion would delete other projects
to make up the $165,O needed
to build q Monroe street over
pass II the county persists In
refusing to close the road.
sThe warning came from Nor
man Pritchett, chief engineer Of
the commission.
Urges $s5,OO0 Shift. al. u
Mr.. Pritchett said he would
recommend that the commission
pick, up $85.00O Of the cost by
deleting the realignment of some
$3.50 feet Of Tuckerman's lane
near the pike. He added no
plans have been prepared for
a Monroe street overpass and
the pike project would be de-
layed as q result.
Rockville Attorney James r.
Miller urged the council to hold
the position taken by its pre-
decessors November in refusing
to close the road.
Mr.. Miller said closing Monroe
street would hurt the old busi-
ness section of Rockville.
Mr.. Pritchett said the coun-
ellis action in refusing to close
the road was in conflict with
agreements reached several years
ago between the roads commits
sion and county engineers and
planners. He submitted letters to
back up his claims there had
been such an agreement. "a
Mr.. Pritchett said the roads
commission had planned to
spend some $625 900 for addi-
tional improvements In Mont
gonery. IA n
Ritchic Parkway Named.
~ Among these additiorsnot
part Of the actual National pike
project he said were the Ritchie
parkway in Rockville, relocating
3 200 feet of Montrose road and
the Tuckerman's lane project.
The Ritchie parkway would
extend from the Montrose road
interchange at the National pike
on the east side of Rockville
and Rockville pike. 1t eventually
would be extended across the
railroad tracks connecting with
Viers Mill road at First street,
or Route %. Mr.. Pritchett said.
The council withheld action on
the request that 1t reverse the
Monroe street decision pending
receipt of q letter from the roads
commission specifying what
projects would be eliminated II
it is kept open.
Mr.. Pritchett also told the
council that all Of Route 1913.
from Connecticut avenue
through wheaton. -Four Corners
and Langley Park, should be liri-
der contract next year.

Arlington Sees
New Stability
For Population
County Head Sets
Figure at ! 50, 900
After Levelino in '54

After more than q decade Of
Phenomenal growth. Arlington
County. va, IS entering q new
era Of population stability.
For the first time in over q
generation. our population re-
manned stable : County Mama
ger A. T. Lundberg says in the
annual report released today.
For the first time, instead Of
being under pressure to provide
services for an expanding popu-
lation. the county administration
has been able to turn its atten-
tion to the consolidation Of past
gains" |"
Fairfax Fastest Growing.
These comments take on added
significance when the MetropoI-
itan Area development picture
Is looked ait as d whole. On the
Virginia side Of the Potomac
River, Fairfax generally Is con-
ceded as the most rapidly grow
ing county.
/ MI. Lundberg's estimate of.
today's population, $50, 900. is
temperate when compared with
Arlington's boast over the last
20 years Of being ethe fastest
growing county isl the United
States"
Some see In the managers
statement an indication that
the county now may be able to
settle down" and inodernize
its streets, sewer and water sys-
TENS by finding more money
for Improvement Of services that
have been strained to a breaking
point in previous years.
This might be true for all
services except schools. With
many younger families in the
county, the school department
foresees an increase IN the stu
dent population for many years
to come.
Below Other Estimates.
Mr.. Lundberg's population
estimate is below the 1000
figure recently estimated In q
washington Board of Trade sur
vey and in q separate guess by
Homer Hoyt, economic analyst.
The Census Bureau estimated
the population was 155, 900 as OF
last ear III the School Board,
which makes d house-to-house
surse coaies IN with that figure
Tor This year
Three Yeas ago the school
superintendent report had es-
timatei the 1855 population
would reach 175. 900.

Montgomery Urged
10 Take Over Work
Of Planning Group
By Chorles Hoffmon

Legislation to abolish the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission as q
regional planning body for SUBJ
urban Maryland was proposed
yesterday to the Montgomery
County delegation to Annapolis.
The legislation that would halt
planning on regional basis Ia
the niushrooming nearby area Is
reminiscent Of measures SUD-
ported vigorously and unsuccess-
fully by many Republican office
holders during the last four
years.
It was proposed by Mrs. Stella
B. Werner. hold -over Democratic
member of the former Republi-
can controlled county council.
Her proposals were submitted
without Endorsement Of her fel-
low councilmen.
Intended for Economies.
Mrs. Werner, longtime foe Of
the commission, insisted her
proposals were not meant as q
power grab. but were intended
to effect economies and to halt
overlapping in functions be-
tween the Upper County Plan
ming Commission, the suburban
area planners and the National
Capital Regional Planning Coun-
Gil.
Her proposals included:
/. General Assembly legisla-
ton to transfer the suburban
planning commissions functions
to the county as Of July /, 1866.
q. Designation Of the planning
commission as simply q Stream
Valley Conservation Commission
to receive Capper-C -Cramton Park
Acquisition Funds from the Fed
eral Government.
8. Council action in May anols
ishing the Upper County Plan
ming Commission and creating b
Countrywide commission under
county council control.
Mrs. Werner contended the
county could operate its own
planning commission Tor about
IL cents on the tax rate. The
present rate for the regional dis
trict is 3 cents.
Lee Opposes Haste.
Blair Lee III. chairman of the
county delegation which is work
ing on legislation affecting the
bi-county agency. warned agains,
hasty action to abolish the COM
mission.
Mr.. Lee said there was danger
that without the regional acj
under which the commission wss
created the county might find
its coming powers .jeopardized.
Grounds for alarm. he said
arise from the effect the recently
adopted constitutional amend.
ment granting broad home rule
power to municipalities may have
on the councils powers. Towns
might be able to grant then1selve;
their own coming authority. he
said.
At the same time. Mr.. Lee tolt
Mrs. Werner she would wal
forever" If she expected the Re.
gional Council to carry out plan
ming functions now carried oul
by the suburban group.
The entire council asked thu
delegation to transfer storm
drainage construction ai1t
plumbing and gas inspection.
from the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission to thu
county.
Mrs. Werner also urged i

Eers could be relieved from pay.
