MckeIdin Loses Bid
/ To Air Md. u. Report
By the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Oct. o
Gov. McKeldin was advised by
his attorney general TO-DAY Ii.at
he (the Governor) does not have
authority to force the University
of Maryland Board of Regents to
make public a report regarding
accreditation of the university
by a scholastic association. .
Attorney General Edward D. E
Rollins held that a 1852 act
passed by the Maryland Gen.
eral Assembly gave the Board
of Regents complete control over
such matters.
Gov. McKeldin's Office said he
had been requested to obtain
the opinion by a Baltimore news
paper after the Board of Re-
gents had refused to release the
report to the press.
The report supposedly deals
with a survey by the Middle
States Association of Colleges
and Secondary Schools of educa-
tional standards at the Univer-
sity of Maryland.
Mr.. Rollins cited the 1852 Law
which was passed by the iegisla-
ture at the suggestion of DR.
H. c. Byrd. who was then pres.
ident of the university and Ii
now running against Gov. Nc
Keldin for the governorship.
The law, which was enacted
over Gov. McKeldin's veto, gave

To Air Swimming Pool Dispute

the pool site.
I'VE would be 100 per cent in
favor of the pool if they would
put it on Old Georgetown road"
Mr.. Davis said. But they want
to come over into our settlement
and build it."
The proposed site Of the pool
has a 243-foot frontage on Fern
wood road and is about 900 feet
deep.
Project Cost $4,000.
The club plans to spend $25, 900
to $4,000 on the pool and bath
house. Estimate bids already are
being sought so that ground can
be broken in early spring if the
appeals board approves the site.
Plans call for a keystone
shaped pool measuring IS feet by
rs feet by SO feet. The bath
house would be "a feet by 81 feet.
The club plans to clear the
wooded tract only to the extent
necessary for the facilities a
parking lot for 100 cars at the
front of the lot will be screened
by existing trees. Future plans
call for the construction of three
tennis courts on the rear part Of
the lot.
Two other community pool
groups have failed in their at
tempts to get special exceptions
to the coming ordinance to build
pools in residential areas.
The appeals body in consider
ing a pool site has held strictly
to the law which states the pool
must be found to have no ad-
verse affect on surrounding
properties.
The county council at present
is considering an amendment to
the zoning code that would ease
restrictions on community pools.
