.Kensington Rezoning
Urged by {. Of {.

Commercial rezoning of rs
acres in Kensington was Endorsed
yesterday by the towns Chamber
Of Commerce in a resolution scor-
ing opponents of the change and
charging they want to keep the
area as IAN antique bedroom"
Opposition to rezoning the land
"a tract now zoned residential
between Frederick avenue and
the Baltimore & Ohio tracks
came at a meeting of the County
Council last Monday. The prin-
cipal group opposing the change
is the Town Criers, local civic
group. which wants no further
commercial development in the
area.
The chambers resolution, sign
ed by William S. Stanley, presi-
dent, said that economic develop
ment of Kensington has been
retarded by the dangerous iso-
lationist doctrine" that the town
can survivor even justify its
existence solely on the basis of
being an antique bedroom"
Granting the application, the
chamber said, would release Ken
sington from "the lightless cellar
of economic despair"
Approval of the coming was
recommended by the Maryland

Boothe Tells House
Virginia Cant Duck
School Race RuIinq

RICHMOND. Mar. 9.-Dele-
gate Armistead Boothe told the
House of Delegates yesterday the
Virginia General Assembly cam
not duck the impact of the i'm
pending Supreme Court decision
on school segregation mo matter
how far in The sands we put our
heads"
The Alexandria Delegate ad-
dressed the House on a point Of
personal privilege, prompted by
the. action of the House Appro-
priations Committee in smother
ing his proposal for commits
sion to study some course of
action to take when the court
decides the issue.
THE Southern people will
never reach maturity until they
show the same courage in peace
that they have shown in war;"
Mr.. Boothe declared.
He said the issue was beyond
the question of whether there
was going to be an explosion. He
said it now was somewhat paral-
lei to the problem of whether
the explosive force of atomic
energy was going to be channeled
to useful ends.
Without some planning and
sound thinking on the problem.
Mr.. Boothe said, the atmosphere
wouldn't be particularly good for
an assembly called back into
session to consider the new eco
nomic or social problem.
His reference here was to the
alternatives the South seems to
face: A Supreme Court decision
upholding the doctrine of sepa-
rate but equal school facilities
or the striking down of the whole
segregation principle. On the
assumption that the court would
underscore the equal" and in
sist on rigid adherence if the
first alternative is handed down,
legislators have predicted that
a special session would have to
impose a general retail sales tax
to raise $500 million or more to
do the job.
Mr.. Boothe told the House he
hoped his views would be re-
garded as no more radical SO
years hence than were those so
years ago Of Senator Opie, who
advocated woman suffrage.

Jones Point crossing - It
seems to this department that
the two major purposes to be
served by a crossing at Jones
Point would be Cd to serve by
pasSable north-south traffic now
using US. ! and the Shirley
highway. and (2) local traffic in
the Alexandria area. With this
diagnosis, while an extention to
a south approach as far as the
Shirley highway would unques-
tionably be desirable, it is not in
our opinion essential as this
time.
1T is oul belief that south
ern approach carried as far as

limits Of Alexandria with an in
termediate interchange connect
ing with the Memorial boulevard
would serve present needs.
Through traffic would proceed up

approach to the bridge near the
south limit Of Alexandria.
Local traffic would be served
by the connectors to Route / and
at the Memorial boulevard inter-
cnange. AS traffic develops over
the years and as additional funds
become available, the southern
approach could be, and undoubt-
aoly would be. extended from
