Maryland Road Probe
Bill Advances, Still
Faces Rough Fight

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 8. - An
Eastern Shore Senator's reluct-
ance to vote kept alive today q
Senate bill to probe the Mary
land State Roads Commission,
but the measure still faced rough
shedding over the rest of the leg
islative course.
Senator North, Democrat, Of
Talbot, who had opposed the bill
in previous preliminary tests.
passed last night when his name
came up on roll-call for tenta-
tive approval. This left the vote
at 14-13 in favor, setting the
bill up for final passage.
Kimble Changes Tally.
The vote tally on the roads,
probe bill had been 14-12 in
favor, then moved to 14-13 after
Senator Kimble, Republican, of
Allegany, who also had passed,
added his vote to the negative
side.
Senator North could have
thrown the vote into a tie. which
would have meant rejection Of
the bill. by following Senator
Kimble's action. But he failed
to do so. and the m easure
squeaked through the prelimi-
nary.
The young Talbot County SEN
ator later explained he thought
the bill needed Is votes to pass
this test. He said he will be re-
corded against the bill when it
comes up for final passage.
Another Vote Needed.
Majority Leader Turnbull,
Democrat, of Baltimore County,
one of the bills sponsors, must
whip up another vote to get the
is needed to get it through the
Senate and over to the House.
The Democratic cry for a
probe of the roads agency was
sounded last fall by H. c. Byrd.

president, in his unsuccessful

Swim Pool Backers
Sue 10 Force Permit

Fairfax County's efforts to
control swimming pool and
recreation facility construction
brought about a second lawsuit
in Fairfax Circuit Court yester-
day.
Three landowners, Douglas A.
Brooks, Emily v. Brooks and
A. B. Fenton, filed suit to force
issuance of a building permit
for the proposed swimming pool
in the Sleepy Hollow area.
The building permit was de-
MED because the zoning admin
istrator. William A. Mooreland,
and the Board of Zoning Appeals
have declined to issue a special
use permit for swimming pool
and recreation facilities on the
site.
According to the owners, the
Epecial-use permit is not neces-
Sary under a ruling in pre-
vious swimming pool case in
volving the Joseph Young tract
at Vale. The county currently
is appealing the Joseph Young
decision to the Virginia Supreme
Court of Appeals.
Residents of Sleepy Hollow
have opposed the swimming pool
plans.
