CityCounseI CIarifie,
Ruling on Rockville
Suffrage Eligibility

A dispute arising over a voter
registration in Rockville was ex.
pected to subside today with a
clarifying statement by City At.
torney David E. Belts.
The city attorney last weel
rendered an opinion stating that
a person was ineligible to vote
in Rockville if he exercised q
franchise outside Maryland.
AS a result, the city registrar:
were ordered to ask each person
if he exercised a voting privi-
lege" in any other State.
Mr.. Belts yesterday directed
that this question be re-wordeC
so that each person was required
to say whether he intends tc
retain a voting privilege" in any
other State.
Interpretation Is Cause.
The change was ordered after
reports that some registrars
were interpreting the original
question to mean that if a per-
son had voted outside the State
in recent years he must either
present a statement from his
old residence renouncing his vot-
ing privilege there or register
with the County Board of Per-
manent Registry for Maryland
voting.
Despite Mr.. Belts ruling a
suit was filed in Montgomery
County Circuit Court appealing
an early Monday action by the
city registrars.
Mrs. 10 Ann Henderson, of
Twinbrook, alleges in the suit
she was told by the registrar
she would have to register with
the county before registering in
the city election because prior
to last April she had maintained
a voting residence in Virginia.
The case was set for hearing
April 8.
Burden Is Seen.
The Citizens for Good Govern
ment were behind the suit be-
cause they felt it unnecessarily
burdensome to force resident
to go to the county building
first to register when the city
has just set up three regiStra-
ton places for the convenience
of residents.
Under Mr.. Belts new order if
a person answers the question
under oath affirmatively he can
not register for the Rockville
city elections May 3. If he
answers mo-" the registrar must
admit his name to the books
To register person must have
been a resident of Rockville for
one year and be qualified to
vote in the State, Mr.. Belts
said.
Registration will continue
throughout this week and next
Monday,

Green Files 10 Void
Redistricting Act
By the Associoted Pres,

RICHMOND. Va, Mar. 30
Official notice of John Locke
Green's court attempt to have
the 1852 Redistricting Act de-
clared null and void was served
on the State Board of Elections
yesterday,
A deputy city sergeant deliv-
cred to Board Secretary Levin
Mock Davis copy of Mr.. Green's S
petition to the State Supreme
Court of Appeals for a writ of
peremptory mandamus to re-
quire the board to accept him
as a congressional candidate
from the State at large.
Mr.. Green, former treasurer
of Arlington, was turned down
when he recently attempted to
file as a candidate for the House
of Representatives from the
State at large. The board said
he should file as a candidate
from one of the 10 congressional
districts as defined by the Redis-
tricting Act of the 1852 Gen.
eral Assembly.
MIR. Green's petition to the
high court contends that the
1852 act is void and invalid"
because it does not meet the re-
quirements laid down by Federal
law and the Virginia constitu-
ton.
Both Federal and State law
says that the congressional dis
tricts should have, as nearly as
practical. IAN equal number of

Byrd and Mahoney
Renew Clash Over
University Policies
BY the Assoeioted Press

The verbal battle between DR.
H. c. Byrd and George P. Ma
honey over DR.. Byrd's policies
while president of the University
Of Maryland continued yester-
day in their campaign for Demo-
cratic nomination for Governor
Mr.. Mahoney renewed his ar
gument with DR.. Byrd over the
number of students from other
States enrolled at the univer-
sity. And DR.. Byrd said Mr.. Ma
honey showed a complete and
utter lack of familiarity" with
financing in having criticized
private bonds issued by the uni
versity.
Both issues had been raised
previously by Mr.. Mahoney.
Interest Rate Hit.
DR.. Byrd's statement referred
to one by Mr.. Mahoney criticiz-
ing bonds the university financed
privately at an interest rate Mr.,
Mahoney said was higher than
those of State bonds.
DR.. Byrd said the bonds were
sold at public auction to a bank
ing syndicate to help construct
an auditorium, 10 housing units
and one student union building.
He said the bonds placed the
State and its taxpayers under no
obligation and "are payable sole
ly from special funds provided
from the revenues earned by the
projects themselves.
Mr.. Mahoney's statement.
numbered 40 in a series of lOO'
he plans to issue, said Br. Byrd
had not stated the facts in say
ing Maryland admits about the
same proportion of out-of State
students as the number of Mary
landers who go out of State for
their educationS.
MahOney Cites Figures.
In l949, said Mr.. Mahoney, TO-
837 Marylanders attended out
of-State schools and 9,O71 of
these attended privately sup
ported institutions.
"On the other hand, in that
same school year, 15.347 nom
residents attended colleges and
universities in Maryland and
l0,488 of that number attended
publicly controlled and supported
institutions.
In other words, while 1,776
young Marylanders were having
their educations subsidized by
the taxpayers of other States,
10,488 out-of-State students were
being subsidized by Maryland
taxpayers, Mr.. Mahoney said.

ment development in the Pooks
Hill area, north of Bethesda, ap-
peared at a zoning hearing Of
the Montgomery County Council
last night in an effort to keep
new apartment construction
away from their homes.
About 130 members of the
Page Hill Citizens Association,
wearing green Identification rib
bons, jammed the councils Rock
vile hearing room.
G. Thomas Montgomery, pres
ident of the association, said pro-
posed construction of more
buildings at Pooks Hill would
change the whole character Of
the community, now entirely
single family residential.
He said the association sought
rezoning of SO unused acres Of
the Pooks Hill tract from its
present apartment use to single
family residential because the
character of the area has
changed since the land was origi-
nally zoned for apartments in
1947.

The Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commits
sion recommended disapproval
OF the associations request and
warned of possible outbreak"
OF apartment zoning elsewhere

open for five days to receive
Wurther arguments.
Harry H. Brodie. Pooks Hill
owner, obtained a building per.
NIT last December for a ST mill
lion apartment house addition.
The permit was withdrawn later
because the Park and Planning
Commission said a proper plat
had not been filed.

zoned to residential"

Mr.. Brodie, on the other hand,

Grosvenor estate.
Council President Harold F.
Hammond questioned whether
the rezoning was possible in view
of the high apartment-use taxes
paid on the 103 acres of Pooks
Hill since 1947.
Speaking for the association,
John A. Clausen of 9601 Mont

more apartments in the area
would overcrowd both the Alta
