Points to Original Action.
'The original action by the
board to rezone this property on
their own motion just seven
months after it had denied a re-
zoning," Mr.. Wimberly said,
certainly produced instability
for the hundreds of home owners
in the area Mr.. Rowzce and
Mr.. Peck are clearly concerned
with stability only when it af-
fects the Broyhills. !"
Mr.. Wimberly said the case
''is q clear demonstration Of an
influential developer from out
side the (South Arlington) area
buying land with the determina-
ton to convert 1t to his gam
with q total disregard Tor either
the community or the Individual
interests of the residents"
In its January 8 action, the
board took the former Federal
Housing area out Of the luxury
apartment classification and
placed it in q less restricted
apartment category. The re-
consideration scheduled for Feb
ruary 10 would return the prop
erty to the single family resi-
dence status which 1t carried be-
fore the newly adopted luxury
apartment zoning went into ef-

MIAMI BEACH. Fla. Jan. 81.
Officials of two AFL unions
tearnsters and meatcutters
have announced an intensive or
ganizing campaign aimed at
cannery and food processing
plant workers on Maryland's
Eastern Shore.
The drive Is to start within
six months.
The announcement was made
here over the week end by the
joint organizing committee of
the teamsters' and meatcutters'
unions task force set up spe-
cially to unionize the half mill
lion non union workers in the
food processing industry across
the Nation.
The Eastern Shore of Mary
land was selected as one of its
primary targets. It already has
started a drive in the Long
Island duck raising and produc-
ing industry and is planning ac-
tion in the Central States.
The joint organizing group
which is to move into Maryland
this summer Is headed by Leon
B, Schachter, vice president of
the meatcutters' union, and
Einar Mohn, teamsters' union
vice president.
Although the Joint committee
has been operating only since

A newly-formed organization
Of South Arlington residents to-
day pressed its fight to stop the
Shirley Homes area apartment
project Of M. T. Broyhill g. Sons.
and asserted that any losses
sustained by the builder would
be his own fault.
The statement was issued by
Lawson Wimberly, of 2814 South
Arlington Ridge road, In behalf
of the Protect Our Homes Com
mittee.
The County Board has voted
to reconsider on February 10 its
January 8 vote permitting con-
struction Of the IS million, 621-
unit apartment project.
Reversal Of Decision.
The January vote was a re-
versal Of decision last May on
a larger tract including the 80
acres involved in the present
controversy.
Mr.. Wimberly's statement was
in part a reply to statements by
the building firm and its attor-
ney, Oren r. Lewis. that con-
tracts beginning to get into the
millions" have been signed and
hundreds of thousands Of dollars
have been spent in field work in
preparation for construction.
The assertion that Mr.. Broy-
hill will sustain severe losses, Mr..
Wimberly said, is "a deliberate
attempt to becloud the ISSUE"
He said the zoning law permits
appeal to the courts within 80
days of any coming decision.
No Permit Granted.
"If any construction work has
been begun, It has been outside
Of the building code OF Arling-
ton County, since the code re-
quires that no such project be
started without q permit. No
permit has been granted. Thus
any hardship has been self
inflicted" Mr.. Wimberly said.
"Mr. Broyhill and certain
members Of the County Board
would also have the public be-
lieve that political pressure was
responsible for the most recent
board action to reconsider the
zoning. The citizens of Arling-
ton have only to take a good
look at the circumstances Of the
original zoning to see where
political pressures exist he
added.
Mr.. Wimberly added that
county board members who are
obviously friends Of Mr.. Broy-

cern over stability The two

New Rockfish Battle
Will Open Tonight
In Maryland House
By ,hs A.soeietsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 31.--
Another battle over the rockfsh.
big money fish of the Chesa-
peake, began brewing today as
Maryland lawmakers returned
from their weekend adjourn
ment.
The Maryland Rockfish Pro-
tective Association said it ex-
poets legislation aimed at con-
serving the rock, or striped bass.
to be introduced when the Leg
islature reconvenes tonight.
Many legislators also noted
Gov. McKeldin soon viii send
down his proposed budget for
the fiscal year beginning July l.,
and some already are talking
about possible alternatives to the
Republican Governors suggested
fiat increase in the sales and in
come taxes.
Early Show Of Strenth.
The rockfish bill, which would
prohibit rock fishing in January
and February. was being pre-
pared for introduction In the
Remember House by at least
% Delegates in a preliminary
show Of strength.
H. Doyle Kaendel, a Deale fish-
errnan who represents the pro-
tective association in whipping
up support for the bill, said
its sponsors include at least
four Baltimore City Delegates
and the entire delegations from
Anne Arundel, Montgomery,
Prince Georges, Hartford and
Charles Counties.
Bill Beaten in 1883.
Backers Of the measure say
they are more optimistic about
its prospects for passage this
year than in 1853. when it was
beaten after getting of to fast
start.
In that session 1t gained tenta-
tive approval in the House by a
better than 2-to-1 margin, but
this count was suddenly reversed
by an alliance Of Eastern Shore
and Baltimore mersbers on the
showdown vote. Mr.. Kaendel
said.
Mr.. Kaendel described the new
bill as an attempt to protect the
rockfish, which Is a $1O0-million-
a-year proposition to Maryland
ers, during the two months it
rests before starting on its
spawning journey.
Fish Caught by the Ton.
During this period the schools
Of rock lie in great holes along
the bay and are caught by the
ton, he said.
From the conservation stand
point, this is one of the most
vital stages in the life OF the fish.
It's the biggest noney-maker for
commercial fishermen and the
biggest sports f1sh we have" he
said.
aThirteen other States have
laws to protect 1t. But this Is
its home State, and we don't
have any laws to make sure we
don't lose it like we lost the oyster
and the crab before we woke
| up"
Budget Due February IL.
Although Gov. McKeldin has
until February IL. an aide said
the Governors budget proposals
might be ready days early.
In an earlier message the Re-
publican Governor told the legis-
lators the State must find about
$28.5 million In added revenues
to make ends meet next year.
He proposed SO per cent boosts
in the sales and income taxes.
| but at the end Of last week
there was considerable talk
among Democrats about the
possibility OF substituting q
graduated income tax along the
lines Of the Federal levy.
