Capital Completes
Full Month Without
Traffic Fatality

Washington today embarked
ON the second calendar month
in which no traffic fatalities have
occurred within the District.
At one minute after midnight
this morning an old record was
topped, Not since December 1928
had one month passed without
q traffc death. Today is the Seth
consecutive day without a IA
tality.
A. Julian Brylawski, chairman
Of the public education commit
tee of the District Commits
sioners'' Traffic Advisory Board,
commenting on the new record,
said:
''The very important reduc-
tion in fatalities from last year
is due to the accumulative effect
In the traffic safety education
program, stricter enforcement
and heavier traffic court penal
ties. The Death Rides Your
Bumper program, in which mo-
torists are asked to respect the
pedestrians rights, we believe,
has been an important factor ii
the reduction Of traffic fatali-
ties. sN
1T is heartening to note that
Of the II traffic fatalities this
year, only Is were pedestrians.
Last year there were 80 pedes-
trian deaths at the same time

Area Rezonings

400 at Meeting
Protest Intensified
Uses Of Lund

More than 400 Bethesda
Chevy Chase area residents
turned out last night to fight
proposals to intensity land uses
in their sections.
Residents Of Chevy Chase Sec
ton 5 and Martins Addition to,
Chevy Chase, armed with petit
tions signed by 279 persons, Bit
terly protested proposed COM
mercial rezoning Of q now resi-
dentially classified lot occupied
by the Brook Farm Restaurant.
Chevy Chase.
Attorney Kathryn j. Lawlor
told the Montgomery County
Council the rezoning would be
an intrusion into q residential
area and would be q wedge
for further commercial expan-
sion" into the neighborhood.
The restaurant. formerly q
teahouse, wants the rezoning so
1t can expand its building size.
according to r. Duncan Clark.
attorney for the applicant, Mrs.
Beverly Davis.
Expansion. Forbidden.
The restaurant is located at
Brookville road and Taylor street,
Chevy Chase. It is operated as a
non-conforming use and is not
permitted. to expand it's facilities.
The Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion recommended the council
delay a decision until after q
hearing on a proposal that would
permit certain types of restau-
rants in residential areas to make
building alterations.
Fred w. McGhan, chairman Of
the Citizens Committee Of Mar
tins Addition, said that, if the
1.3-acre tract were rezoned to
commercial. the owners could use
it for any one of at least 40
business purposes.
Mrs. Lawlor also charged that
the requested area for rezoning
is twice the size of the present
non-conforming restaurant use.
She clashed sharply with Mr..
Clark over the effect a nearby
shopping area should have on the
application.
Mr.. Clark said the nearby area
provided grounds for granting
the application. Mrs. Lawlor re-
torted that the rezoning would
provide the wedge for extending
the business area into an all
residential block.
Fears for Values.

rezoning would be a knockout

BUSINESS Of existing traffic con-
gestion on the marrow streets

Also drawing bitter reaction
from residents was a proposal
by Attorney James r. Miller that
the council break the Bethesda
coming plan and rezone from
commercial to light industrial a
1880 square-foot site on Be-
thesda avenue between Clarendon
and Arlington roads.
Leading the protest by resi-
dents of Edgemoor and Bradley
Village were John j. Beatty and
John A. Singerhoff.
Mr.. Beatty charged the re-
coming would break the perfect
buffer zone between the indus
trial section east Of Arlington
road and Bradley Village. Mr..
Singerhof said it would change
the present character Of the area
and lead to complete industrial
ization of an area abutting
existing apartment house land.
