Belt Road Seen
Opening Park
To Public Use
Maryland Planners
Soy Area Is Used as
Private Preserve
By George Beveridee

Maryland planners told Chair
man Murray Of the Senate In
terror Committee yesterday the
proposed inter-county belt park
way would open to wide public
use a Rock Creek Park area that
has served as a private preserve"
to abutting property owners.
Sidney M. Oliver, vice chair
man of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission wrote Senator Murray
his group welcomed a public
hearing to examine the issue.
Senator Murray said he hoped
to set a date within a few days
for hearings on a resolution he
has introduced which threatens
the parkway.
The Montana Democrat said
he had no personal conclu-
sions" about the issue. but had
put in the resolution to pro-
vide a basis for testimony.
Resolution Has 2 Parts.
The resolution has two, parts.
One would require specific con-
gressional approval of any new
road with Rock Creek Park in
the District. The other would
ban National Capital Planning
Commission approval of any
through-traf1ic highways which
would take a. Longitudinal rout-
ing" through Rock Creek Park
extended in Maryland. It also
would require the planning COM
mission to withdraw approval
of "any plans inconsistent" with
this.
The language is an obvious
reference to the portion Of the
inter-county belt planned to pass
Just inside Rock Creek Park be-
tween Wisconsin and Forest
Glen.
Mr.. Oliver wrote Senator MUIR
ray the proposed parkway is "an
incident to the plans for de-
velopment" of the park. He said
his commission was interested
in opening the park for use as
a scenic drive as we'll as for
rec -.icnal purposes, and added:
Sympathy VS.. Obligation.
"While we are sympathetic
toward the inclination Of abut-
ting property owners to continue
to enjoy this publicly owned
park as a private preserve. we
cannot allow our sympathies to
outweigh our obligations to de-
velop this area for public use."
Property owners near the park
have filed suit to block the pro-
posed parkway, contending the
road constitutes only a segment
of a major highway and is an
illegal use of park land. The suit,
brought against Federal plan
ners who approved the plan, was
dismissed in Federal court here
and is being appealed.
j. Bond Smith, general coun-
sci of the Maryland planning
group, said he was "elated"' by
the moves for Senate hearings.
He charged that the moves
care an admission that existing
laws are not violated by the
parkway and an effort to have
the rules changed at this late
date"

Master Plan
Accord Sought
In Fairfax
Commission Meets
Tomorrow on Own
Ideas for County
By Mary Lou Werner

Members of the Fairfax Coun-
ty Planning Commission hope to
agree on recommendations Of
their own affecting the county's
proposed master plan at a meet
ing tomorrow night.
Major points Of recommenda-
tions that a faction of the Plan
ming Commission wants adopted
are:
/. Elimination or sharp reduc-
ton of the 3-acre and 5-acre
minimum lot sizes that plan
ming consultant Francis Dodd
McHugh has proposed for a vast
section of the county.
2. Elimination of the Burke
Airport from the plan. Mr.. Nc
Hugh put the airport in his plan,
insisting 1t would be a financial
asset.
8. Elimination of Mr.. McHugh's
proposal that some 1000 acres
near Centreville be set aside for
possible dispersal of Federal
Government units from the Dis
trict.
Will Decide Course,
Tomorrow nights meeting Of
the Planning Commission is be-
ing held to decide whether to go
ahead with public meetings to
explain the master plan recon-
mendations of Mr.. McHugh.
Keith Price, chairman of the
Planning Commission, said he
expected his group to go ahead
with public meetings to explain
the McHugh plan, but hoped
that the planning commission
could come up with some rec
concentrations Of its own so the
public would know the commits
sion's views.
Mr.. Price called the Sand s.
acre minimum lot proposals Of
Mr.. McHugh unreasonable. The
McHugh plan would confine all
suburban-type development to q
narrow belt of Fairfax County
closest to Washington, holding
the rest of the county in mini
mum lot sizes of and 5 acres.
The planning commission
chairman said he personally IA
vored community developments
throughout the county. He said
the new network of highways
also recommended by Mr.. Nc
Hugh would make many Sec
tions Of Sthe county suitable for
such developments. He expressed
the opinion it would be unduly
expensive to build so many
highways unless they are fol-
lowed by residential development.
Dispute Effect on Property Value.
Mr.. Price also pointed to the
effect of Sand 5-acre minimum
lot sizes on property va,ttI.
Land in the areas restricted to
3 and 5 acres would lower in
value, he said, because they
could not be subdivided.
This same argument was used
by Mr.. McHugh in support of his
plan. The lower property values.
he said, would give farmers a
break in real estate taxes.
Removal of the Burke Airport
from the plan is sought by some
members of the planning COM
mission because the Board Of
County Supervisors and the
planning commission repeatedly
have gone on record against it.
Mr.. Price said the proposed
dispersal site is not necessary
because the county has no as
surance the Government would
be interested.
The master plan was prepared
under the direction of Mr.. Nc
Hugh, a professional planning
consultant. So far. 1t has cost
the county $150,000. The plan
ming commission unveiled it for
the press and county officials in
November.
Citizen groups since have been
urging that the planning COM
mission go ahead with public
hearings to explain Mr.. Nc
Hugh's recommendations fur
ther.

It's initial year.
We must admire the spirit of the
Young men who make Jaycee units

pay a conservative game by spending
only what they have in the bank. the
JayceeS are extremely reckless in this

While an effort was made about
Il year ago To establish an "A club in
Tabor City. there was little converse
ton devoted to the subject. The mi
tai attempt To organize WAS Il COM
plete failure and those leading the
movement threw up their hands in
disgust. No one wanted to admit he
was an alcoholic. which is the first
requirement for membership in the

Another attempt to organize the

couraging not only To those who have
deep feeling for their fellowman bur
to the families of those suffering from

greater dividends than any other we

lore they are able to think of it as
money making proposition. Those
who invested money in the venture
ara so for several reasons. There were
those who could foresee ENJOYABLE
fishing trips without having to spend
half of their day on the highway. Too.
many of the men who bought the 500
snare were able to visualize the value
OF the Milipond to the youth of the
community.
IL Is with the latter that we are
primarily concerned since the fishing
aspect will take care of itself,
Now that the pond is open il
should not be abused by adults or the
younger set. There are many happv
moments in store for those who utilize
the facilities offered.
Some vandalism was in evidence
at the very beginning of the project:
however, none of consequence has

We fail to see the pleasure derived
from destroying valuable property.

10th Anniversary

Womans Club can be of great service
To the community
Today we have fine recreation
area in the development stage i'm
Tabor City. 1t needs the backing of
all the men and all the women. Ro-
tary, Civilian. Jaycees, veterans organ
iZations, garden clubs and the Wo-
mans Club can leave mark i'm the
community that will live forever. 1t
can be the difference in whether your
boy or your girl falls prey to juvenile
delinquency on grows into an adult
with character and morality.
1t cannot be done through indi-
ridual effort. 1t requires organization
and cooperation.
We believe that healthy, active
Noman'S Club could be of consider
able help in further promoting the
project and bringing its development
to completion.
thus on the tenth anniversary of
the Tabor City Woman'S Club. we
can suggest no greater project than
active participation in the millpond
development. And to the individual
woman IN Tabor City. we can suggest
n" greater step than enrolling now in
our only federated civic club for
women in Tabor City-the Woman'S

when they were at low tide. One of
those lowest tides has been in evil

be incentive enough to every local
