Pool Proposal
Again Sparks
zoning Fight
Over 100 Attend
Rockville Session
Of County Council

A public hearing on . proposed
change In residence requirements
for members Of Montgomery
County community swimming
pool groups last night developed
into another round In the long
light over the Old Georgetown
Clubs site on Fernwood road.
Bethesda. Md.
More than 100 persons turned
out as leaders Of the club clashed
repeatedly with the Bradley
Boulevard Citizens Association,
which opposes the site, at q hear
ing before the County Council In
Rockville.
The proposed coming code
amendment would knock out q
requirement that q majority OF
members Of q pool group must
I'VE within q half mile radius Of
the pool site.
g. Gregg Everngam, attorney
for the Old Georgetown Club,
Inc, scored the restriction ais lln-
realistic and said It would bar
many groups from building pools.
Karl Kessler, 1927 Admission
road, Bethesda. said the restric-
ton In effect defeated, its own
purpose In that it barred pools
in sparsely settled areas where
the nuisance value would be at
q minimum.
Leading the opponents Of the
proposed amendment was w.
Bradley Edelblut. president Of
the Bradley Boulevard Citizens
Association. He charged that
community pools would deterio-
rate property values Of nearby
homes and warned that COM
munity pools are costly to main
tain. The result might be, he
said. that the county some day
would have to take over their
operation.
George b. Davis, 6510 Green
tree road. said the proposed
amendment would provide nd
protection whatsoever for resi-
dental communities.
James L. Givan, 1928 Long,
wood drive. Bethesda, said the
proposed amendment would
leave residents Of many areas,
such as the sparsely settled
Bradley boulevard section, "in q
vulnerable and helpless posi-
ton.
1T would permit q group from
the most undesirable slums Of
Washington to despoil q residen-
tial community ct win through
the construction of a swimming
pool" he eaid.
Anothek opponent, william,
NpplOyitz ~ the Bradley Hills
EQad sub sion, said that pool
gfotlps which want "a build out
side Their own c0mmunities
would have to get the consent
Of the area into which they
would want to move the pool.
The Bradley Boulevard group
insisted they were not opposed
to community pools but only
wanted to have them located In
the communities whose residents
will be using them. The group
generally expressed fear that the
Fernwood Road pool would en-
danger their well water supply.
County Council President Pro
Tenn Robert T. Snure said the
record on the pool amendment
would be kept open for 10 days.

Two Bills Seek
To Ban Trucks
On Expressway
TurnbulI's Senote
Measure Provides
Commission Power
BY Gene Goodwin
ssar ssofs Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. liza two
pronged attack began In the
Maryland General Assembly to-
day TO prohibit truck trafic On
the Baltimore Washington *.
pressway.
Delegate Jerome Robinson.
Democrat. Of Baltimore City.
was set to introduce legislation
in the House to ban trucks from
the Maryland owned half Of the
expressway.
Trucks already are prohibited
from the Federally-owne Sec
ton Of the limited access dual
parkway between washington
and Jessup. Md.
In the Senate. meanwhile.
Senate Majority Leader John q.
Turnbull was ready TO introduce
q bill to give the Maryland Roads
Commission authority to restrict
the operation Of trucks ION
limited access" highways In the
State. That. OF course, would
include the Baltimore Washing.
ton Expressway.
Same 40 1858 Bill.
Mr.. Rohinson's bill Is sub
stantially the same as one he
introduced In 1853. It passed
the House then. but was killed In
Senate committee. At that time.
the Robinson bill was stoutly
opposed by commercial interests
and residents along the present
Baltimore boulevard.
They have since organized
into the Washington Baltimore
Boulevard Association and have
been working to get Maryland
to take over the Federal half Of
the parkway. That would open
the entire expressway to truck
traffic, since present Maryland
law does not permit prohibiting
trucks from any road.
Cites Charming" Increase.
Mr.. Robinson contends pas
sage Of his measure Is more es-
sential than ever now. since
truck traffic on the Maryland
end of the expressway has been
increasing at an alarming
rate"
ut is Just plain foolish to
build beautiful parkways and
then allow heavy trucks to de-
stroy them or make driving on
them difficult" Mr.. Robinson
said.
The Turnbull bill is broader
than Mr.. Robinson's and less
restrictive. II would permit the
Roads Commission to ban trucks
Of more than ''three-quarter-ton
rated capacity. everything big
ger than pickup truck size) on
roads it designated as limited
access.
The Turnbull measure also
would require the existence OF
an alternative truck route before
any road could be banned to
trucks. and a public hearing be-
fore the Roads Commission could
decree such O ban.

Toll Highway
Gets Support
Montgomery Civic
Group Rejects
Committee View

\ ~ a S Z Cd
Ignoring . committee report
outlining the possible dangers Of
toll highways, two-thirds Of the
members Of the Montgomery.
County Civic Federation last
night voted to indorse toll
charges on q proposed Baltimore
Elktcn highway.
The committee report, pre-
sented by Washington !. Cleve-
land, chairman Of the Roads,
Streets and Bridges Committee,
recommended that toll roads be
constructed only when no other
method Of financing them is pos
sible.
Mr.. Cleveland urged the fed
Grafton to go on record against
the spread Of toll highways by
opposing legislation to establish
q toll authority for the highway
from Baltimore to the Rennsyl-
vania line near Elkton.
Substitute Prevails.
Charles Gordon, delegate from
the Rosemary Hills Citizens AS.
ISOLATION, offered q substitute
motion in favor Of the toll high
way with the provisio that tolls
be discontinued when the road
Is paid for. His motion was app
proved by q 48-to-24 vote.
Two other recommendations
Of the Roads Committee, how-
ever. were unanimously support
ed by the federation. The first
urged county authorities, police
and local groups to redouble
their efforts to keep trash on
the highways. The second res-
olution expressed opposition to
"the suggestion" that the Fed
leral half of the Washjngton-
Baltimore parkway be turned
over to the State of Maryland.
State ownership Of the Fed
eral portion of the parkway
(from the District lire to Jes-
sup. Md, Mr.. Cleveland de-.
clared, would result in truck
travel on the entire parkway
and q new tax burden on Mary
landers.
The federation studied, but
did not act on. a report from
I its Social Welfare Committee
on the question Of public SWIM
ming pools. A sharp difference
Of views among the delegates on
the issue Of public versus COM
munity pools. however, FORE
Swallowed considerable debate
next month when the fedora
ton win be asked to take q
stand on the problem.
\ Cites Endorsements.
The committee report was read
by N. X. Ahel, committee chair-
man. He Declared public swim
ming pools since last August have
been Endorsed by at least eight
civic associations, one elemen.
tary school PTA and one junior
high PTA.
A guest at the meeting last
night In the auditorium Of
Woodward g. Lothrop's Chevy
Chase store was Donald H. Hunt,
chairman Of the County Board
Of Recreation. On the swimming
pool issue. he said:
"A study throughout the Ma
ton indicates that community
swimming pools do not meet all
the needs Of an area for recrea-
ton and swimming instruction.
He asked federation members
to weigh the Recreation Boards
plan for 9 county operated sys-
tenn Of five public pools. Ofiicials
have estimated the total con-
struction cost Of the pools at
$77O,000.

tlonality of a law. But in the cas-,
the House has no choice. ANY re-
sulting confusion is unavoidable.
The absentee voting law, in Mr.
CraVen's opinion, is deficient. anC
therefore unconstitutional because
It fails to follow constitutional pro.
visions that a voter shall be entitled
10 vote in the hundred or election
district in which he lives and In
which he is required to be regis

Methods For Challenges
Another defect, according TO the
attorney general, is that the law
fails to provide a method of chal-
lenging for bribery, another con-
5titutiOnal safeguard.
There is no statutory reouire-
ment," the opinion continues. "tbat
absentee ballots shall be returned
TO the election districts in which
the voters are resident and regis

the county seat-in this case.
deorgetoWn. Consequently, there is
no opportunity to CHALLENGE. On
election day, the voter may be in
one place, the ballot in another and
the polling booth somewhere else. !"
Mr.. Craven termed "the loose
ness" of the law Inconsistent and
lrreconcilable" with other statutory
provisions which he cited as fol-
Title Is, Section 4246, Delaware
code, provides that no person in

Two years ago there were two
times when the House met in Sc
cret, once by itself and once with
the members of the Senate. These
were, however, in the form of meet
ings of the committee as a whole.
10th District Contest
The contest involves Rep. Raw
mond M. Lank (R-Milton) and
James w. Smith, Milton Democrat
who were the candidates for cleo
ton for state representative from
the Tenth Representative District
or sussex County on Nov. 2.
Mr.. Lank was declared the win
ner by the board of canvass and
his election was challenged bv Mr.
smith on the grounds that the alb
sentee votes were illegal. Without
the absentee votes Mr.. Smith wOuld
have won.
The case went to the Delaware
Supreme Court which said that the
House has assumed Jurisdiction of
the contest and did not rule on the
question of the legality of the ab-
sentee voting law.
On March 80 the House held a !
