Gruy Report Plan

DANVILLE. Va. Dec. 10 ZAP,
Gov. Stanley last night called
the Gray Commission recon-
mendations "the best way to ap-
proach a troublesome problem
Gov. Stanley told an audience
of about 700 persons. including
10 Negroes. there Is no discrim-
nation in any of the legislative
proposals"
The Gray Commission recon-
mendations constitute no threat
to the system of free public
schools in Virginia. he asserted
The school system faces the
threat, he said, posed by the Su-
preme Court decision outlawing
forced segregation. The first OBJ
jective of the Commission on
Education, he explained. was to
preserve and strengthen our
school system"
Gov. Stanley denied that the
plan advanced by the commits

a system Of private schools.
There will be no State-built pri-
vate school buildings, he added.
There will be only tuition grants

.EIkins Gets
.Okoy to Plan
.Dormitories

BALTIMORE, Dec. 10 (P. -
DR.. Wilson H, Elkins was author
lied yesterday to plan more
dormitories at the University
Iof Maryland and dump the prob
lem of paying for them into the
lap of the legislature.
The university president had
suggested the Legislature be
asked to authorize construction
iof more self -liquidating dormi-
tories as 1t did at the request
of his predecessor, H, C. Byrd.
But William P. Cole. jr., chair
man of the Board of Regents. de-
Iclared it shouldn't be taken for
granted that the State is unwill-
ing to finance the dormitories
as it does at other institutions.
He pointed out it would cost less
interest for bonds with State
credit than to have the univers
Isity issue them with pledges to
pay them from student fees.
1t was Charles P. Mccormick,
a board member. who proposed
that the decision be handed to
the Legislature itself.
In the meantime, the regents
told DR.. Elkins to work out def
mite plans for the buildings
Through consultation with the
State Planning Commission and
other agencies.
DR.. Elkins had told the regents
that present dormitory space
will not be sufficient for the
number of students expected at
Maryland within two or three
years. He said some male stu
dents had to be housed for
awhile in temporary structures
this year.

of his fight to keep certain of his
developments from the Navy. will
have another day in court.
Yesterday, Federal Judge Ros-
eel c. Thomson gave Mr.. Jacobs
permission to appear in court
Monday and present his second
defense" It includes charges
that the Navy used bad faith
in terminating contract for a
revolutionary electronic bombing
and navigation system Mr.,
Jacobs invented.
At the conclusion of weeks OF
testimony. Judge Thomson ruled
December that Mr.. Jacobs must
turn over to the Navy allsphysi-
cal property involved in the con-
tract to build the Bomb Direc-
ton System Mark g."
The judge also said Mr.. Jacobs
had to turn over engineering
notebooks and other documents
which would disclose the firms
technical "know-how" in pro-
ducing the system.
Mr.. Jacobs had argued that
such information did not be-
long to the Navy and that the
Navy had not guaranteed to
keep his competitors from using
it If he did turn it over.
Yesterday the short, bespecta-
cled inventor was back in court
He refused to sit with his
lawyers, Donald Mckay and
Harold Wilcox of Washington
and asked permission to SUBJ
stitute counsel.
Judge Thomson allowed Mr.
Mckay and Mr.. Wilcox to
withdraw from the case and
when he questioned where Mr.
Jacobs could secure other coun-
sci familiar with the highly
complicated proceeding, Mr.
Jacobs said he would appear
without counsel,
He indicated ne would be the
only witness and that his testi-
mony would probably take sew.

Tax Receipts
Go to Voters

The forthcoming constitu-
itional convention referendum in
Virginia has tax officials working
overtime trying to get this years
poll tax receipts to prospective
new voters in time for them to
register.
Fairfax County Executive c. c.
Massey yesterday urged taxpay-
Iers to be patient. and said the
finance department expected to
have tax receipts in the mail in
ample time to permit new regis
trations.
The deadline to register for
the January 9 referendum is
January 2 in Fairfax County.
Mr.. Massey said the court
house had been flooded with calls
from people wanting to know If
they would get their tax receipts
back in time to register. He
said the calls we're slowing down
work in the tax Office.
Payment of 1855 taxes by
Monday is required of new voters
seeking to qualify for the refer
endum. Persons who were quail
fed to vote in last November's
general election, however. may
vote in the referendum without
having paid 1855 taxes.
Alexandria tax officials are
working even more feverishly be-
cause the registration deadline
there is December "a.

Developers of the 376-acre
Heurich tract-the last island in
the sea of subdivisions in nearby
Prince Georges County-an-
nounced last night that they had
agreed to follow the coming plans
proposed by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan

The action removes one of the
main obstacles in the path of
filling the long-vacant land at
Colesville and Queens Chapel
roads with houses, apartments
and stores. The plan still is
subject to approval by the Prince
Georges County Commissioners,
who will hold a public hearing
on the rezoning of the tract on
December 10.
Harry A. Boswell, jr., the de-
veloper. said he and Isadore
Gudelsky. the landowner. had
decided not to press their own
coming program, which last week
was rejected by the planning
agency.

1854 Dwelling Units
As envisioned by the planners,
the area will eventually be filled
by 1854 dwelling units, indicat-

would have provided space for
nearly half again as many resi-
