Hurley Loses
zoniinq Protest

The Arlington County Board,
by a 5-to-1 vote, has granted
two requests for rezoning over
the protests Of an attorney rep
resenting Maj. Gen. Patrick ].
Hurley. former Secretary of War.
Granted were requests for re-
zoning to local commercial at
5105 Columbia pike by William
P. and Dorothy r. Wyatt and
at 5001 Columbia pike by the
Columbia Pike Syndicate.
They were among five requests
granted last night on the sec
ond night Of the two-day spring
rezoning hearings, held in the
County Court House. Three 9TH
ers were withdrawn at the ap-
plicants' request. and two were
deferred to a later date.
William r. Chadwick, repre-
senting Gen. Hurley, told the
group there already are two COM
mercially zoned sites in the area
and that these have not yet been
developed. No further CONNER
cial coming is needed, he con-
tended.
When Gen. Hurley's owner
ship of the two plots was brought
out, Mr.. Chadwick said Gen.
Hurley did not intend to specu-
late. He said Gen. Hurley in
tended to develop the plots II

lives in Santa Fe, N. Mex.
Deferred until the June IS
meeting was a request to rezone
to commercial property at 2701

was granted to check into the
legal feasibility Of inserting into
the deed to the property a cove
nant forbidding use in any other
manner than that for which
DR.. Schlesinger had applied.
DR.. Schlesinger made the re-
quest to install other doctors
offices in the house he now
occupies.

quest until the November meet
ing was an application to rezone
from residential to apartments

Grieenbe|t Plea
Approval Seen
industrial Zoning
Action Expected

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners yesterday post
poned final action but indicated
their approval Of industrial zon-
ing for a 162-acre tract in Green
belt, one Of the largest single
tracts for which industrial Zon-
ing has been sought in the
county.
Requested for the two par
GELS in the tract was light and
heavy industrial zoning. Fred
w. Truemmler, a county plan
ming consultant, and Attorney
Ralph w. Powers said the Belt
Land Co. plans to develop the
area as a modern community OF
industries" with an estimated
evaluation of S. million.
The property, lying within the
corporate limits Of Greenbelt, is
bounded on the north by the
proposed right-of-way of the
inter-county belt freeway and
on the west by mainline tracts
of the Baltimore & Ohio Rail
road.
Opposition to the request was
heard from residents of the
nearby community of Hollywood.
They said the proposed indus
trial park would create a
nuisance and devaluate their
homes. Robert Fauntleroy,
president of the Hollywood Civic
Association, said the proposed
six miles of railroad sidings in
the industrial center would
cause a banging Of boxcars all
through the night and day."
The Maryland-N National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
unanimously approved the re-
coming proposal. In the COM
MISSIONS report, planners noted
that "in the past industry has
been the stepchild, the neces-
sary evil, that was tolerated but
not completely accepted in the
community"
However, the planners de-
clared that since World War II
the urban sprawl type of de-
velopment has left very
little suitable land for industrial
development and expansion" :"
The report concluded that the
area in question is> lone of the
better locations for industrial
zoning in the county"
County commissioners took
the request under advisement
pending a visit to the proposed
industrial center.
In other zoning matters the
county commissioners:
Granted general commercial
coming for 1.8 acres of land on
the west side of Baltimore
boulevard 300 feet north Of In
dian lane in College Park. The
coming was requested by w. w.
Lewis.
Granted local commercial zon-
ing for a 2.4-acre parcel on
Queens Chapel road, 500 feet
south of Chillum road. The
change, to enable extension of
a neighborhood shopping CEN
ter, was requested by Marshall
B. Coyne. Solomon Grossberg
! and Joseph B. Danzansky.

visors who appoint them. Mr..
Runyon, who is not seeking re-
election, goes off of the Board Of
County Supervisors at the end
of this year. Mr.. Price, who is
in the real estate business. is
chairman of the planning COM
mission.
The supervisors decided to try
their own hands at preparing a
nursery school ordinance, with
the help Of Mr.. Massey and Mr..
Fitzgerald. The first proposed
ordinance-drafted by a board
appointed committee cruynbled
before a tide of opposition at a
public hearing last week. The
principal opposition came from
Catholic parochial school repre-
sentatives, who protested mclu-
sion in the ordinance Of kinder
gartens operated as part of ele-
mentary schools.
"When the first ordinance ran
into so much trouble, the super
visors said they would appoint a
new committee to start all over
again.
"We ought to try to do this
ourselves" said Supervisor Maui
rice Fox. II think we have a
good idea what the people want
after listening toswhat they had
to say We have the commit
tees proposed ordinance. We
can work around that"
The other supervisors agreed,
and it was decided to tackle the
problem at a meeting sometime
next month-without committee
assistance.

Special Tax Bill
vetoExp|ained
McKeIdin Cites Stund
Of Library Trustees

ANNAPOLIS, May 10 (Spe-
ciaD Gov. McKeldin today ex-
planned that he vetoed a bill au-
thorizing special taxes for special
services to unincorporated Prince
Georges County areas because
the county Board of Library
Trustees objected to it.
The Republican chief execu-
tive released veto messages on 18
measures he declined to sign
after the recent State Legisla-
ture.
The Prince Georges County
bill, sought by leaders Of the
Chillum section, would have au-
thorized the county commission
ers to supply special govern
mental services such as street.
lights, street signs, and libraries
to unincorporated areas and levy
special taxes on those benefitting
to pay for them.
Cites Trustees Stand
Gov. McKeldin said the Board
of Library Trustees 'has advised
me that it feels this will
complicate orderly development
of the county library system in
this fast growing county"
The Governor also said he
was reluctantly compelled" to
veto a bill designed to outlaw
the abandoning of ice boxes in
public as possible death traps
for children. \
"The bill. among other things,
would make it unlawful to place
an uncrated ice box, refrigerator
or freezer in a place accessible
to children without first remov-
ing the door therefrom," the
Governor said, emphasizing the
word "uncrated."
Literally construed, if this
bill became law, virtually every
home owner in the State would
become an unwilling law breaker
unless he followed the wholly
unreasonable mandate to remove
the doors from his refrigerator
or freezer, or as an alternative,
permitted it to remain in a crate
and unusable.
Improper Amendment
"The simple solution lies in
addition of the words outside Of
any building or dwelling which
appeared in the bill as intro
duced but were removed by an
inartificially drawn amend
ment."
Mr.. McKeldin cited the States
immunity from law suits in his
veto Of a bill which would have
permitted Bernard Evander.
architect for the Chronic Dis
ease Hospital at Hagerstown. to
sues the State for $175.000 for
services rendered.
The Governor said the bill ex-
cluded any right of appeal by
the State, that the matter had
been thoroughly investigated by
State officials, and that he could
see no reason for according Mr..
Evander obviously preferential
treatment" over other citizens.
