He said a bomb with the

radioactive ashes over 100000

said, the ashes would still be

Mr.. Peterson, speaking on an

"get three feet of earth over

Complication Grow,
Plague E Home Rule
lmpIemeniaiion
BY Gene Goodwin
sios sioFf ccrrespoadsni

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. l9.-Some
Maryland lawmakers today were
expressing frank horror at the
legislative Frankensteir1 they
might have created In their
eagerness to give municipalities
more home rule.
Delegate jerome Robinson.
Democrat. Of Baltimore City. 4
self-government partisan, said he
feels 1t now would be very diff
ficult to get the Legislature to go
along with a county home rule
bill. Their new attitude Is the
result of enormous diflculties
presented so far ii irnpiernenting
the municipal home rule amend
ment to the constitution. adopted
by the voters last November.
The biggest Of these difiiculties
arose only yesterday when q
prominent Baltimore bonding
attorney told a special Senate
subcommittee that municipali-
, ties might find it impossible to
sell any bonds until the Mary
land Court Of Appeals rules on
one key provision Of the home
rule amendment.
Rate Change Threat.
Y. u u
That provision gives the Gen.
eral Assembly. for the first time,
the power to alter and set
ceilings on municipal property
tax rates. The attorney, II.
Warren Buckler, jr., said inves-
tors may hesitate to buy
municipal bonds when the State
Legislature can step in at any
time and change rates on taxes
being collected to pay on such
bonds.
The amendment gives the
Legislature power to limit the
amount Of municipal debt, as
well. !.
Threats to the planning and
zoning setup in suburban Mont
gomery and Prince Georges
counties also were described at
yesterdays hearing by a Senate
Judiciary subcommittee assigned
TO study Senate bills 5 and 8, the
two legislative council bills
drafted to implement the home
rule amendment.
Legal Vacuum Exists.
Without the augmentation,
the Attorney General has ruled.
municipal government is in a
vacuum for the time being. since
the Legislature no longer may
pass laws for municipalities and
the municipalities may not pass
ordinances until the amendment
has been implemented by law.
j. Bond Smith, general coun-
sci for the Maryland Nationals
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission. said the home rule bills,
as now drawn, would permit
municipalities, either by amend
ing their own charters or annex
ing territory, to take over plan
ming and zoning authority now
held by his commission and the
governments Of Prince Georges
and Montgomery.
He proposed an amendment to
prohibit municipalities from
lislirping. planning and zoning
functions held BY any State.

Play Safe When
You Go Hunting

Most accidents caused by ire
arms occur during the fall and early
winter hunting season assistant
county agent Wesley Webb re-
minds. You can help make this a
safer hunting season, he says. By
observing, and influencing others
to observe these safe hunting
points:
Never carry an assembled gun
in your car!
Always keep the safety catch on
when carrying a gun!
Carry gun with barrel pointed
down toward ground, or up to sky!
Be sure you know what it is you
are shooting at!
If you must cross a fence, break
the breech, or hand the gun care
fully over to a companion, or lay
It under the fence before climbing
through!
Never pull a loaded gun through
a fence after youl
When through hnating, be GER
tain that the gun is unloaded. Take
It apart and lock it away from
children!

Create Vistas Or Peep
Holes Through Trees
In Winter Time

As leaves Of trees drop in fall
new Vistas come into view. A lake
in the distance. A winding hillside
road. A beautiful old landmark.
Perhaps a gnarled old apple tree
or stately pine.
It once was fashionable to screen
homes by trees. But trees grow tall
and wide in a few years and be-
come wall, not screen, shutting
out pleasant views.
Today, says Don Cantwell. Area
Manager of the Bartlett Tree Ex-
pert Co., vistas are the vogue. In
suburbs and country, home owners
can create all-year-round vista. pic
lures through their trees.
When trees are bare is the time
to decide what view should be .fea-
tured in a vista from a picture win
dow or terrace. There are three
kinds Of vistas: The breath-taking
panorama If the house is located
on a hilltop; the under-type where
limbs are raised or trees opened so
one can look through or under the
foliage; and the Object-type which
features a focal point in the dis
tance.
All require artistry and magma
ton. Tres men or vista cutters
know which trees to cut down. or
head back, which to leave in their
natural setting. The right tree must
be left in the correct place. Once
a cut is made, it never can be put
back. The one "dOn't" is never Gre
ate a fat view. A vista must look
as if no man passed that way to
disturb the wonders Of nature.
A vista must look good 70
months of the year Greens of hem
lock and pine can be blended with
deciduous trees so that in mid-Win-
ter the vista viii be as charming
as in summer An ugly telephone
pole must be screened the year
round.
Vista cutting permits the home
owner to see and still not be seen.
It gives his trees and his per-
3pective a new look.
Wstas can be cut any time Of the
year. Cutting them in fall or win
er is ideal because the views to be
.chieved can be readily seen. Next
,pring when new growth begins the
wall of trees will be
zone and the new vista will seem
IS il it had been there always.

Bridge Traffic
Shows Big Increase

Delaware Memorial Bridge traffic
showed a healthy 81 per cent in
crease in October 1855. over the

The October increase Of more

56,156. The greatest percentage
gain shown by regular fare paying
vehicles were the four axle trucks.
They jumped from 63,603 a year
ago to 72,111, showing that more
and more heavy truckers are using
the bridge, Mr.. Gallagher said.
There was also a 32.9 per cent
gain in Communication ticket sales
and a "a per cent gain in general
car crossings in Octo-
Der.
h,0r the first five months 1f fiscal
