Council Weighs
zoning Delay

The Montgomery County
Council has under consideration
proposed postponement until
September Is of the effective
date of the controversial tempo
rary coming ordinance for the
Upper County.
The ordinance now is slated
to become effective May 2.
Petitions signed by some 700
rural residents opposing the Or
dinance were presented to the
council yesterday by e. Brooke
Lee and Bernard Gladhill.
Mr.. Lee, head of the Land
owners Association of Upper
Montgomery County, and o. w.
Anderson, president of the Farm
Bureau urged the delay on
grounds the ordinance will re-
tard growth and harm the rural
area.
Mr.. Lee said the petition sign
ers resent provisions that will
make home construction more
costly and particularly scored
the 10-acre minimum lot sizes
in the agricultural zones. Half
acre lots would be adequate. he
said.
The petition signers said they
did not oppose more restrictive
lot sizes in the Hunt Club sec
ton of the Potomac election
district"
James A. Buchanan w urged
the council not to postpone the
ordinance. He said it should be-
come effective with the UNDER
standing that inequities would
be removed by amendments.
Hunter Davidson, of Darnes-
town, said the council could
create areas of smaller lot sizes
on rezoning applications.

reached a levelling-off stage. He
said the general pattern in all
State governments in recent
years has been for borrowing to
increase at a faster rate than
revenue from year to year.
Mr.. Fischer outlined the
State inheritance tax laws which
he said need undermining to
enable widows to be first in line
to inherit their husbands prop
erty. The law now provides for
the property to go to blood rela-
lions of the husband where no
will detailing the desired dis
position is left.

Councilmen said that future
hearings would be held before
the rate is set. The planning
commission tonight and tomor-
row night will go through the
motions of holding public hear
ings on a budget to be supported
by the tax. The commission
hearings also will cover the park
tax in both Prince Georges and
Montgomery County.
The council noted it may
change the rate if the governor
signs other bills affecting the
commission.
County Attorney Charles M.
Irelan emphasized the council
was fixing the tax rate now"
but will levy it during the May
legislative session.
There is no provision, however.
in the new law calling for q
special levy in the legislative
session. Levies in the past have
been made at the time the coun-
Gil adpoted its budgets, in late
June.
Mr.. Reese, under questioning
from reporters yesterday, said he
was aiming at a date prior to
May Is" for submitting his
budget to the council and making
it public.
The May Is deadline would
allow civic associations and resi-
dents less than three weeks to
prepare for budget hearings.

public information requested by
reporters.
Report Held Back
A report on which the man
ayers recommendations for inn

Mr.. Reese. however, released "a
350-word summary of the report.
The council ordered a resolu-
ton drawn authorizing the De-
partment of Public Works to
establish street grades and prop
erty lines in the area at county
expense.
The sanitary commission has
refused to install sewer and
water mains in the colored COM
munity bordering Rosemary Hills
until such grades are established.
If the council goes all the way
and builds streets in the area,
the cost will be $150,000. The
sanitary commission work win
cost 100000, according to the
summary.
Reports yesterday were that D
number of residents in the area
are willing to connect with the
mains and to install indoor
kitchens and bathrooms. At
present, many of the homes are
serviced by outdoor privies and .

Continued Rein
On Gas Urged
By Arlington
County Officials
Outline Argument
At Home Hearing

A House committee today
weighed arguments from Airing
ton County officials urging con-
tinuation of Federal controls
over natural gas producers.
Chairman H. Lester Hooker of
the Virginia State Corporation
Commission is scheduled to ap-
pear before the House Commerce
Committee next Wednesday as
the Old Dominion's next witness
on a bill by Representative Har-
Fis, Democrat, of Arkansas, to
end regulation at the well on gas
sold for interstate pipline disrti-
button.
Among witnesses testifying
yesterday we're Wesley w. Coop
err, member of the Arlington
County Board, and Charles E.
Hammond, executive assistant to
the Arlington Public Utilities
Commission.
Urged to Keep Controls
Earlier, the Virginia State
Corporation Commission already
had urged Virginia members Of
Congress to maintain. Federal
controls.
Mr.. H "a m m ond introduced
figures showing that the national
consumer price index had risen
last year to 114.8 per cent Of the
1919 average used by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics as a
basis for comparison. He said the
natural gas field prices had risen
to 1875 per cent during the same
period.
Mr.. Cooper contended little
would be accomplished if the
Federal Government continues to
regulate prices on interstate
pipeline distribution companies
unless it also controls natural
gas at the we'll head. The dis
tribution companies would be al
lowed a fair return based on what
they had to pay the producers.
he argued.
Mr.. Cooper said the increase
in the field price of gas is alarm
ing and added that it "can
only cause the price of this COM
modify in our community to
climb"
$4,000 Meters in County
Arlington is served through
| "a, 900 gas meters by the Wash
ington Gas Light Co., Mr..
Cooper told the committee. Only
small amount of manufactured
gas is used for peak operations.
he said.
ct can be estimated that over
I 40 per cent of the homes in Ar
lington are committed to the use
of natural gas for space heating.
Consumption of this fuel per
meter has risen by SO per cent
since 1947 in the area served by
the Washington Gas Light Co.
"It is a fact that consumers
of natural gas in Arlington are
dependent on this fuel as a
primary source of energy and as
such the public interest is af-
fected by decisions to regulate
or not to regulate the well head
price of this natural resource
commodity"
Inasmuch as Washington Gas
Light Co.'S operations in Vir-
ginia are controlled by the State
Corporation Commission. Mr..
Cooper commended, the commits
sion sets rates which are partly
based on the price it has to pay
on the fuel produced in other
States. For this reason. he said.
the Arlington County Board be-
lieves Federal controls should
be maintained on the producers.

QUESTION: What is meant by
"Eruv Tavshilin'"?
ANSWER: The term 'Eruv
Tashilin" is the name given to the
public which is employed on the
eve of a festival if that festival
should occur on a Friday. Just
before the setting of the sun some
bread and other food is taken to-
gether. This combination is usual
ly eaten for the third meal of the
Sabbath. The term when techni-
cally translated means a "connec-
ton of the Cooked foods" A
special blessing is made, after
which the following declaration
is made: 'By virtue of this Eruv
be it permitted us to bake, cook,
keep the food warm, light the
candles and do all work that is
necessary on the Festival for the
Sabbath" ,
e = -
QUESTION: What is the pur-
pose of this act?
ANSWER: According to Jewish
law it is permitted to cook on a
festival only the food which is to
be eaten on that particular day of
the festival. When a festival falls
on a Friday, it would therefore not
be possible to cook on Friday for
the Sabbath. However, one may
cook on the day before the festi-
val enough food to last through
both the festival and the Sabbath.
Putting aside some food on the
day before the festival for the ap-
preaching Sabbath, indicates that
the cooking for the Sabbath has
really begun before the festival
and the cooking that is being done
| is both for the festival and for
the Sabbath, in the sense that
there is a link between the two
and the cooking that would be
done on Friday of the festival is
but another link with the work
that is necessarily done for. the
festival.
QUESTION: who originated
this custom?
ANSWER: The Talmud (Tract-
ate Shabbos ABB attributes this
to a special decree of King Solo
mon. Some even trace this back
| to our father Abraham. It is quite
evident that this is an ancient
custom and to this day the prepa-
rations of the festival which falls
on Friday are not considered
complete in the traditional home

World Mourns
 Einstein's Passing

PRINCETON, N.J., RALeaders of nations, diplomats and scien- lists have mourned the passing of celebrated Physicist Albert Fin stein as one of history's great men.
 From all walks of life poured messages of tribute for the 76- year-old genius who died Monday of ruptured aorta and hardening of the arteries.
 Hours after Einstein's death, his body was cremated without funeral services. But, seeking to further medical science even in death, he left his brain and other vital body organs to research.
 Many national and information al leaders have been invited to g public memorial tribute to Fin stein, set for Sunday night at New York'S Carnegie Hall
 The small, bushy-haired Fin stein left his brain to pr. Harry Zimmerman, director of labora- tories at Montefiore Hospital and professor of pathology at Col umbia University.
 Zimmerman said he doesn't ex- pect to find the cells that made him genius when he starts ex- amining Einstein's brain within the next few days.

Harrington Denies Much Communism Ever in Hawaii
By Harrison Hurnphries

WASHINGTON, R-Delegate Harrington R-HawaiD told the House Rules Committee Tuesday Communism 'shas never been rampant" in Hawaii and the sub versive element there is definite ly on the wane."
 Mrs. Harrington appeared be- fore the committee to answer charges by Rep. Pillion (R-NY that Communism is such a men ace in Hawaii that the territory should be denied statehood.
 The Hawaii delegate called the allegations of Billion "eXtfava- gant, undocumented and unsup- ported" She said they are "an insult to the majority of Hawaii's additionally loyal population" and reflect on the intelligence of the national House of Representa- tives which three times has passed the Hawaii statehood bill after exhaustive inquiries.
 MT. Pillion's wild charges of rampant Communism in Hawaii, with its multimillion dollar de- lenses, reflects also on every in telligence agency of this govern ment-the FBI, the Army Intelli- gence and Navy Intelligence sys- tems," she said.
 "Yet, according to the state ment made by MT. Pillion before this body, this vital bastion of defense has been quietly taken over ideologically by agents of the Kremlin who are waiting only the opportune moment to seize them physically and by force of arms
 "This will no doubt be accom- plished by the 36 known Commu- nists J. Edgar Hoover reported to be in Hawaii as late as 1852"
 Mrs. Harrington denied the International Longshoremen's and Warehousemen's Union is the dominant labor force in the is lands and is in position to con- trol territorial and future state elections.
 The 25,000 ILWU members, she said, comprise only IS percent of the total labor force of 184,OO0 in Hawaii.
