Star Story Helped
A future intercollegiate, Gail is
the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs,
C.. L. Guthrie Of 5108 Westridge
road. Westhaven. She got the
idea for her exhibit from an
article in The Star last fall.
David Grafton's blue ribbon
was for an ingenious display il
Illustrating what happen to earth
worms when subjected to elec-
tricity, high frequency sound,
and vibration.
The youth, son Of David C.
Grafton. a Government engi-
neer. Of 5000 Gloster road, Wood
acres, used one-volt electricity
to confirm the fisherman's trick
Of producing worms by sending
electricity into the ground.
Worms Are Immune
With sound frequencies up to
$1,000 cycles, he discovered that
worms are totally insensitive to
high frequency sound but will
squirm to the surface when the
earth is probed gently with a
pencil.
As an added fair attraction,
members Of the high schools
Electronics Club set up an anna
teur radio station. The ham"
station, employing equipment
capable of sending radio signals
around the world, was not a

County Rejects
Donaldson Run
Swim Pool Plea
Objections Roised
To Private FoeiIity
On Purkiund Site

A proposal to sell Arlington
County parkland for q private
swimming pool in the Donald
son Run area failed to win
approval Of the county board
yesterday.
More than 200 persons crowd
ed the courtroom during q four
hour hearing.
The board voted IA on a
motion to deny the request.
Board Chairman George M.
Rowzee, jr., read q statement
from Robert A. Peck, who was
absent, and said Mr., Peck would
have made the vote 80 against
the project.
The Donaldson Run Recrea-
ton Association asked the board
to approve sale Of the eight-acre
tract between the Taylor School
and Military road for q private
pool TO serve about $50 families.
Julian r. Searles Of 4225 North
Thirty-first street, spokesman
for the association. said the
group was formed because there
were no public pools in the
county.
Director Tells Why
A great majority OF people
living in the area favor the
project, he said.
Funds from sale Of the tract,
Mr.. Searles said, could be used
by the county to buy parkland to
replace property acquired by the
association.
Richard M. Doherty, Of 2673
North Upshur street, one Of the
directors. said the pool would
ruin all possibility of gracious
living" in the area. He said he
opposed sale of public land for q
pool that would be built, not for
all persons regardless Of race or
creed, but for a group of afIluent
citizens.
A petition with 81 signatures
opposing the sale was presented.
Board Members Wesley w.
Cooper and Alvin r. Kimel voted
in favor Of the plan.
Fire Station Site Dropped
In other business, the board
decided to drop its plan to ac-
quire a fire station site at WASH
ington boulevard and North
Nicholas street. More than so
residents of the area protested.
The board deferred until April
is consideration Of use permits
to erect gasoline service stations
at 5040 Lee Highway and $50
Wilson boulevard.
Purchase Of about four acres
along Four Mile Run near the
county sewage treatment plant
for $107,593 was voted. The
board also approved an option
to buy about two adjoining acres
by July 81. 1856. for $62.29o.

Fear McKeIdin Veto
On 7 Planning Bills
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, April 2.-Mont-
gomery and Prince Georges
Counties lawmakers are fearful
that two major bills affecting
the Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
will be vetoed by Gov. McKeldin.
The Montgomery delegation
worked feverishly today to cor
rect flaw in one bill, already
enacted, to extend the Planning
Commissions juris diction
throughout the county.
The delegation, at the insist
ence Of Rockville officials, had
inserted a clause, "as now or
hereafter constituted" in ex-
Guiding the towns of Rockville,
Gaithersburg and Washington
Grove from the expanded juris-
diction.
The Attorney Generals Office,
however, has informally ruled
that such q clause would con-
fiict with the municipal home
rule bill still to be enacted by
the Legislature.
Clause to Be Deleted
The delegation hopes to clear
up the matter by removing the
clause which would give the
towns coming jurisdiction over
lands they hope to annex.
tThe Rockville City Coun-
Gil held a special meeting to-
night. rushing through a res
olution asking that the bill
provide that Rockville be given
jurisdiction over planning in
areas to be annexed Sin the
future growth of the town."
as determined by the city's
planning agency.
(The council. together with
Mayor Dickran Y. Hovsepian,
went to Annapolis to press It's
case with the county delega-
ton. If the bill is not amended
to their satisfaction, they will
seek a veto by the Governor,
they said.)
Fate Of the bill reorganizing
the Planning Commission and
transferring control Of appoint
ments from the Governor to the
local governing bodies Is In the
hands of the Governor.
Held Up by Dispute
Wrangling in the Montgomery
delegation over wording OF the
latter bill held up it's enactment
until last Saturday. Then a
mixup in dating the bill blocked
the Assembly from having a
chance to override q possible
veto.
Part Of the delay in final House
passage Of the measure was due
to deleting the word taxpayer"
from the qualifications Of q
Of the commission.
Mrs. Margaret Schweinhaut,
Democrat, of Montgomery, asked
for the deletion. Today she said
she had made the move to make
possible the appointment OF Ray
Murphy, a precinct chairman
and a planning field employe, to |
the commission. Mr.. Murphy
rents in the county.
Changes Overlooked
The delegation deleted the tax
payer requirement in one section
If the bill, but overlooked other
changes that were necessary. AS
result, the bill had to be re-
;alled from the Governors desk,
Is was the extension measure.
The Prince Georges delegation

organization bill that it's letting
