About 5000 acres set aside for
industrial development under the
|city's coming plan are located
along the two streams. The area
lies between Duke street and the
RIP Railroad tracks.
The city used the need for
land for industrial expansion as
one Of its major arguments in
the annexation suit four years
ago against Fairfax County.
However, the area along the
streams is subject to floods dur
ing excessive rains.

The proposal to develop the
large Heurich tract near Hyatts-
vile into . complete community
of its own hit a snag yesterday
lat the hands Of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
The site is the last undeveloped
property Of such proportions in
suburban Prince Georges County
Commission members, after
two days of elaboration, voted
to disapprove the plans as sub
mitted. In turn. they approved
10 revised plan drawn up by their
own stan engineers.
The two plans will be given to
the Prince Georges County Com
missioners, who have final au-
thority on the plea to rezone the
376-acre tract at Queens Chapel
and Colesville roads.
The County Commissioners. In
an unprecedented move in the
county. have scheduled a hearing
on the coming petition separate
from their usual coming sessions
held on the third Wednesday Of
each month.
Instead, this particular petit
ton, destined to become one OF
the most controversial in county
annals, will be considered at a
hearing at 10 am. Monday, De-
cember 10, at the County Service
Building, Hyattsville.
The rezoning is sought by the
Harry A. Boswell Co., Inc. Of
Mount Rainier, one of the Wash
ington areas leading subdivision
developers. It asks that portions
of the tract be rezoned from
R-55 (single- family residential)
to ca (heavy commercially and
R-lS and Rio In the apartment
and housing category.
The company's plan. among
other things. provides for large
commercial areas on both sides
of the relocated East-West high
way, now under construction d.
agonally across the property. The
developers have hopes Of con-
verting it into a giant regional
shopping center, the largest in
Prince Georges County.
Commission engineers. in what
was described as an unusual
move for them, prepared their
own plan for the subdivision. It
cut down on commercial areas,
added more space for schools
and recreation centers than pro-
posed. and reduced the popula-
ton density Of the housing and
apartment areas. In addition,
they set aside land for civic use
and other functions. Both plans
include provisions for churches
and q f1rehouse.
As submitted by the Boswell
firm, the plans call for some 5,S95

he ruled that the Government

0ffshore Island War
Flares Up Again
In Formosa Strait
BY the Assoeiosed Press

TAIPEI. Formosa, Sunday,
Feb. 27.-The China offshore is
land war fared up Friday night
and yesterday in Formosa Strait
where both Communist and Ma
tionalist reports agreed the
weight Of hostilities now has
shifted.
Nationalist Premier o. K. Yui
told the Legislative Yuan that
the Matsus and Quemoy, of Red
China's Fukien Province coast
facing Formosa, would "in no
circumstances" be given up with
out a fight. And he said the
United States should see 1t that
way.
cat the same time, Peiping
radio was pointing out that
Nationalist abandonment Of
Nanchi Island eliminated the
last stronghold opposite Che
kiang Province and provided
more favorable conditions for
the liberation Of Taiwan (For-
mosa) and the islands along
the Fukien Coast.")
A Nationalist Interior Ministry
source said a small fleet Of tor
pedo boats and gunboats given
the Chinese Reds by the Rus
slams has moved south from
Tsingtao toward the port of
Foochow opposite the Matsus.
The Nationalist gave this ver-
sion of the latest t1areup:
A group of II Red gunboats
and armed, motorized junks Fri
day night shelled tiny Wuchiu
which is 80 miles west of For
mosa in the strait at a point
about midway between Quemoy
and the Matsus.
The Nationalists on the island
fired back, repeatedly damaging
two Red craft. Early yesterday.
Nationalist planes attacked Red
ships northwest of Wuchiu, re-
portedly destroying a torpedo
boat and two of unspecified type.
The Defense Ministry said
there was no attempt at an in
vasion. Wuchiu probably is one
of the few outposts in the strait
which the Reds could seize with
out provoking a crisis. They
may yet try to get it by way of
claiming progress in avowed
plans to ''liberate" Formosa.
(Peiping radio trumpeted
yesterday the liberation" of
Nanchi. 140 miles northwest
of Formosa. A broadcast heard
in Tokyo said that Red land

years. He married Mary E. San
ford, daughter of a line of Balti-

had their 50th wedding anniver-
sary three years ago but she kept
it quiet. She thinks the pictures
of golden wedding couples in the
papers look terrible. They have a
son, Edward H. Preston, who is

Jim will probably be in the
Senate press gallery more than
ever now that he has no job. The
Senate is his real love. Yesterday
he was asked about the quality
of the membership before and
after direct elections by the
people.
You know" he said, "they
used to say a man had to have q
lot to appear before a legislature
and win their votes. Well, he
has to have a lot to appear be-
fore the electorate and win.
Thirty members of today's Sem
ate were in the House, which is
good. A number of Senators
have been Governors of their
States. and that's good, too.
"The greatest change, to me, is
not in the quality of the mem
bers but in the information that
is available to them. Through
their staffs and reference serv-
ices Senators are much better
informed on the economic and
international political problems
they must vote on then they were
