|Du Pre- Roods Evidence
To Get Sybert's S Attention

Records Of the hearing also
will be sent TO Mr.. Sybert, the
Baltimore City prosecutor and
Montgomery County State At
torney Alger Y. Barbee. Mr..
|Barbee and two members of the
county detective bureau sat in
on the hearings.
The Roads Commission also is
slated for study by the new
Green Commission on State
Government organization and a.
nance. appointed by Gov. Nc
Keldin.
Green Opposes Full Probe
But, according to the Associ-
lated Press. Attorney Harry j..
Green and Delegate Jerome
Robinson both were opposed to
a full-scale investigation Of the
Roads Commission. The Roads
Commission, repeatedly a target
for criticism from State political
leaders and legislators. would
have been the subject of an in
|vestigation under bills defeated
in the last General Assembly.
The McKeldin Administration,
Republican legislators and a
few Democrats joined to stave
of the investigation. Some
legislators have expressed dis
satisfaction with the Governors
tapping the new Green commits
sion for the job.
Some members of the Legis-
lative Council had wanted the
Governor to allocate $4,000 for
Ia full-scale investigation. He
beat them to the punch, how
ever. with the assignment to the
Green commission and the all
lotment of $4,000 for the study.
The commission is slated to
hold its first meeting Tuesday
In Baltimore. The Legislative
Council. however. will meet Au-
gust 10 and is expected to decide
then whether it is satisfied with
the Governors offer.

Montgomery Will Study
Compromise Zone Plan

A proposed compromise zon-
ing ordinance calling for two
acre and half-acre residential
zones for upper Montgomery
County has been submitted to
the County Council.
The new proposal, backed by
the Upper Montgomery County
Landowners Association, would
allow residents of the various
sections to decide which zoning
they want. The ordinance, sub
mitted by Don r. Lamborne,
recommends that the Council
hold public hearings by election
districts to seek the views OF
residents on a coming map.
Council members, however,
have indicated they intend to
establish zoning regulations in
the upper county by September
is, the effective date of the
ordinance adopted last year by
the outgoing council.
Date Postponed Twice
The present council has twice
postponed the effective date of
the zoning code in the face of
strong opposition from up-coun-
Ity business and real estate
groups.
The council has scheduled an
executive session tomorrow night
to discuss the ordinance and nu-
Imerous proposed changes. The
meeting will start at 8 pm. in
the Rockville Council room.
According to Councilwoman
Mrs Stella B. Werner, the Coun-
lcil, at its regular meeting Tues
day. will consider setting a pub
lie hearing date for changes to
the ordinance or enactment of a
rewritten coming code. The
hearing, if scheduled, will prob
ably be held in August
The Lamborne plan would be
10 substitute for the one sched-
uled to go into effect in Sep
tember.
The original ordinance called
for residential zones of 10 acres
three acres, one acre and half
acre. The large sizes have been
opposed by landowners in the
upper county area, who said
they would be prohibited from
dividing their holdings into
smaller homesites.

Virginia Schools to Stay

RICHMOND, July rs (R.-
Virginia has been given the
green light to carry out its an

segregated public schools through
1856.
This is the Interpretation law
yers place on a three-judge Fed
eral court decree in the Prince
Edward County anti-segregation
suit.
After hearing arguments Of
both sides here last Monday on
the type Of a decree to be en-
tered. the court said Prince Ed
ward must desegregate its
schools but set no time limit.
Continue on Present Basis
Going a step further, the
court said it would not be prac-
ticable" to place the county's
schools on a non-segregated
basis by the start of the coming
school year as asked by the
plaintiffs. because "of the adjust.
ment and rearrangement re-
quired :"

cree which Attorney General
j. Lindsay Almond, jr., says
clears the way for public schools

Vienna Curbs
Use Of Water

Restrictions have been placed
on the outside use of water in
Vienna, Va, it was announced
yesterday by Mayor Louis Moore.
Mr.. Moore said watering
lawns and washing cars would be
prohibited until the current heat
wave is broken.
This Is the second ban on
outside use of water in Vienna
this year. An April ban was
lifted after the town placed a
third well in operation. Con-
struction Of another well will
begin Monday, Mr.. Moore said.
It will be financed by a water
and sewer bond issue sold last
week.
Mr.. Moore said customers were
using about 100000 gallons of
water a day while the normal
consumption is 250,00O gallons.
He said the maximum capacity
of the system is 100000 gallons
a day.
In another section of Fairfax
County, the ban on outside use
of water imposed several weeks
ago by the Annandale Water
Co. will continue for about three
weeks. according to James A.
McWhorter, president of the
firm. Customers are now al
lowed to use water outside one
day a week.
Mr.. McWhorter said construc-
ton has begun on new pumping
facilities which will raise the
firms capacity to $500, 900 gal
Ions a day. Total pumping Ca
pacity now is around 1900, 900
gallons a day. he said.
Mr.. McWhorter said that Gus
toners used more than 1900, 900
gallons yesterday or an average
Iof $50 gallons per customer.
This means that the one-fifth
LOT the customers who were al
lowed to use water outside yes
teroay used around 1000 gallons
each," he said.
He said that additional stor-
age facilities just completed
would have been sufficient to
relax the ban but the consump-
ton of water has been too
great. I'm afraid to relax it
until the pumping facilities are
completed" he said.
The Alexandria Water Co. re-
ported that consumption "has
been very high" the past few
days but there were no pros
poets Of imposing any bans. The
company, which had a shortage
last summer. has completed ad-
ditional facilities which in
creased its capacity.

RICHMOND. July % P).-
Average daily attendance in Vir-

734.427 by the end of the next
biennium. the State Department
of Education estimated today.
This would be an increase of
9.5 per cent over the expected
total at the end of the current
budget period.
Traditionally, the department
does not disclose its specific
budget requests before their for
NAL presentation to the governor.

The Attroney General also
gave his view this week on an
other phase of the school prob
lem facing some counties
whether school funds may be
appropriated on a month-to-
month or quarter-to-quartss
basis. and whether the State can
dispense State school funds to
localities on such a basis.
Mr.. Almond said that after ex-
haustive study of the statutes
he found mo legal impediment"
to prevent the carrying out of
the plan.
The short-term appropriation
plan would be a precaution
against the possibility of an un-
expected desegregation order
coming during a school year
Should such an order come, a
board of supervisors would be
prepared, If it chose, to close
the schools rather than end seq
Iregation. t

The State Water Control
Board. granted a permit to the
Mclean Heights development in
Fairfax County for q treatment
plant. setting a population limit

gate Harrison Mann.
Cites Pollution Danger.
In a letter to the County
Board. Mr.. Mann said Scott's
Run discharges into the Potomac
directly above the Districts
water supply. which also serves
Arlington.
Mr.. Mann said one Of his
reasons for opposing this new
source of pollution to the Poto-
mac" is that "the contemplated
project establishes q precedent
which will be extremely difficult
to curb. Although initially small
and said to be without imme-
diate danger, 1t will be an open
ing wedge for similar requests.
The Water Control Board speci-
|fcally acknowledges this dan
ger"
Two Other Objections
Other reasons listed by Mr..
Mann for opposing the water
boards action include:
/. Such small plants are
often unattended and improp-
erly operated"
2. AS the population grows,
the tendency will be to turn
partially-treated sewage into the
stream. and the overflow will by
pass the treatment plant"
The delegate also cited pro-
tests in this matter by the water
supply divisions Of the Corps of
Engineers and the District, in
addition to the District Health
