NCPCDisagree,
On Alley Law

The National Capital Plan
ming Commission has refused to
go along with the District Com
missioners in a plan to stop con-
struction Of row house project
on a l4-foot dead-end alley in
Georgetown.
One reason is that Commits
sion Chairman Harland Barth-
olomew thinks the proposed cure
Is worse than the disease, &C
cording to John Nolen. director
OF the commission.
The District Commissioners.
who constitute a majority Of the
five-man District Zoning Com
mission. have called a public
hearing for April 81 on a pro-
posal to prohibit construction of
any dwelling on an alley less
than 80 feet wide.
! In order to allow some use
for the property of affected
owners, the Commissioners also
proposed to let the Board OF
Zoning Adjustment permit GER
| tain commercial usages on such
alley lots even though they may
/ be zoned for residential use only.
The commercial usages in
clude storage of wares and goods,
electrical repair shops. picture
framing or carpenter shops,
plumbing or heating shops, GER
tain electric substations and
temporary parking lots.
The Board of Zoning Adjust
ment would have TO decide what
commercial uses were "in har-
mony with the general purpose
and intent" of the coming law
and that they will not tend to
affect adversely the use OF
neighboring property. :"
/ Mr.. Bartholomew feels the
proposed change would have the
effect Of commercialiZing the in
terror Of affected blocks, Mr.
Nolen said. and that some less
Objectionable method should be
found to stop the proposed prof.
ect.
The NCPC referred the pro-
posed coming regulation amend
ment to a coming committee after
H. J. Spelman of the Bureau Of
Public Roads also insisted it
would be "uncivilized' to put a
house on a 30-foot alley.
The Zoning Commission pro-
posal was adopted by the Dis
trict Commissioners after the
District Department of Licenses
and Inspections had informed a
prospective builder, there was
no bar to construction of the
project In view of congressional
repeal recently Of the city's Al
ley Dwelling Act.
The lots, on an alley extend
ing west from Thirtieth street
between p and Q streets NV,
have been advertised for sale at
SO, 500 each.

Used Eyeglasses
Collected for leedv

Over 100000 pairs of used eye
glasses. collected largely from
residents in the District and
nearby Maryland. will be formal
ly presented to the Chilean Am
baSsador by the Lions Interna-
tional at $50 pm. Tuesday.
The stock of glasses, known as
the Bank of Light, will be turned
over to Ambassador Alberto Sep
ulveda Contreras at the Pan
American Unions Hall of the
Americas.
The campaign to collect used
for donation to needy
people in the Americas is the
first concentrated drive of its
kind, Lions officials said. The
Washington Society for the
Blind co-operated in the cam
paign, collecting over 1000 pairs
OF eyeglasses for the bank.

seat the authorized Jones Point
Bridge.
, While he was asking for this,
Mr.. Wirth also urged the Senate
committee to restore to the In
terror Departments own appro-
priation bill for next year $3.50
million for construction of the
Jones Point Bridge, which had
been stricken by the House. The
Senate unit will act on the Inte-
rior measure probably Wednes-
day or Thursday of this week.
Jurisdiction Transferred
One of the roadblocks TO the
Jones Point Bridge, cited as rea-
son for the House elimination
OF funds for the project. is a
bill transferring Jurisdiction for
the bridge from the Interior De-
partment to the Commerce De-
partment's Bureau of Public
Roads. This transfer measure
is still on the House calendar,
after being temporarily delayed
by objection when 1t was called
up on a recent District Day.
The Districts House passed
Sl79.7 million annual appropria-
ton bill for next fiscal year be-
ginning July is expected to
come up for public hearings be-
fore a Senate appropriations sub
committee before the end of
this month. Such hearings on
the Senate side are always open.
With city finances bulwarked
by the new revenue act, laying
more taxes on District residents,
and increasing authority for the
Federal payment TO 1913 million,
the city heads are planning to
come to Congress for further
appropriations TO carry forward
the city's big public works pro-
gram and to raise next years
Federal payment to its new top
The commissioners probably
will submit these requests to the
House, where taxes and appro-
priatiOns start. The pleas on
these items, including $l3 million
capital outlay, likely will be
sent to Congress in the form of
supplemental estimates. to be
considered by the House Appro-
.priations Subcommittee handling
the city budget.

81. Senate hearings have been
concluded.
Recently. during hearings on
the District part Of the big
supplemental funds bill. the
commissioners requested the
Senate Appropriations Commit
tee to restore the amount. This
would bring the Federal pay
ment up to $50 million. which
at that time was the congress
sionally authorized total Federal
payment.
Since then, however, Congress
has passed and the President has
signed into law the big new city
revenue bill which hikes the
authorized Federal payment up
to $23 million, effective next year
and thereafter. What effect, if
any. that new payment maxi
mum may have on the Senate
Appropriations Committee when
the request for restoration OF So
million for this fiscal year comes
up for a vote Tuesday remains
to be seen.
TOtaled S795 Million
The appropriations unit plans
to act on all phases of the sup
Elemental measure, which con-
tanned $795 million for several
agencies Of Government when II
passed the House. Many requests
for restoration of House stricken
funds have been made
The city heads also asked for
restoration Of $4,000 cut by the
House from a budget estimate of
$3.50, 900 for medical care of quail
flied INDECENT patients through
contracts with eight private hos
pitfalls.
The District chapter Of the
supplemental bill carries about
SO million for several different
District activities, including ST.
1854 800 for city workers pay
raises this fiscal year
The Senate unit also will act
on two other requests for resto-
ration of funds for projects in
this area.
National Park Service Director
Conrad With made a strong
plea for restoration Of a House
stricken 100000 for purchase of
land in Maryland on which to

patchwork of amendments. are
needlessly complex and hope
leSsly out of step with the way
land actually is being used today
Only about half the land now
zoned for first commercial Gre
tail shopping) is being used for
that purpose. for example. OF
$500 acres Of land zoned for
apartments, less than $500 acres
Is being used for apartments.
In principle, most members of
the Groom Committee go along
with simpler, up-to-date meth
Iods Of controlling coming. Under
the present system, for example.
there are 140 possible combina-
tons to describe the coming of
various pieces of property (al-
though only about 80 combina-
tons are in common use.) The
Iconsultant has cut this to 20
distinct coming districts" to take
care of all the possibilities.
Generally, the citizen advisers
agree with the new types of
Izoning controls the consultants
propose for residential housing
This agreement, however, is lin
tied to definitions of the various
coming clasSifications. There al
ready have been storm warnings
of opposition to the way the con-
.sultant has applied the classif1-
cations to specific property on
the coming map.
Heaviest Dispute
Heaviest dispute thus far,
however, centers around ideas
for controlling the growth of
population in downtown bust
ness areas.
For the last year. the Groom
committee has been analyzing
a series Of reports from the con-
sultant. defining new coming
categories and explaining rea-
sons for them.
Only a few members so far
have seen the 10 new coming
maps, caring completion,
which actually apply the new
categories to specific property
Both Mr., Lewis and the Dis
trict Zoning Office have agreed
to help the Groom committee
explain the new zoning-and the
reasons for it-at the forthcom-
ing public hearings.
A special subcommittee,
headed by Ernest F. Henry,
Washington attorney. will meet
tomorrow to discuss arrange
ments for the citizen hearings,
A main decision will be the
size Of the land area to be dis
cussed at each hearing. Mr..
Henry said yesterday he thought
the most feasible will be to set
up meetings for residents of the
areas covered by each of the
10 coming maps.
Tomorrow: Planning Issues.)

Il know this sounds like I'm
a little greedy, but that's what
the people are telling me- Mr.
Mahoney said. Il have never
made a claim like this before. .
/ He said he would sweep the
Eastern Shore and central Mary
land. particularly the Counties
of Carroll, Baltimore and Har-
ford"
Attacks Big Business
He also said he expected to
carry Garrett. Allegany, Wash
ington and Frederick Counties
in western Maryland He made
no predictions regarding the
southern Maryland counties.
Mr.. Mahoney devoted most of
the rest of his speech to an at
tack on big business.
He said the big corporations
are even getting into election
campaigns.
When you accept a campaign
contribution of $4,000 or $4,000
from them, they expect you to do
their bidding and sell the little
fellow down the river" the
candidate declared. Il turned
them down in 1852 and l am
going to turn them down again
in 1856"
Farmers Troubles Cited
He said that last year small
business profits decreased sc per
cent and that SO per cent of
little business firms have gone
bankrupt since 1852. He also said
the little farmer is having a
difficult time.
I Mr.. Mahoney. who is making
his third bid for Statewide
Office in Maryland, faces his
principal opposition in the up
coming Senatorial primary from
former Senator Willard E.
TydingS.
Mr.. Mahoney campaigned
hard today despite heavy down.
pours of rain. which failed to
stop him but stopped two of the
automobiles in his caravan. One
car in which Mr.. Mahoney was
riding stalled near the town of
Welcome and was pushed into
La Plata by Mr.. Mahoney's per-
Sonal car.
Later last night, Mr.. Ma
moneys car lost a wheel, APP
parently because of the strain of
pushing the other vehicle over
the bumpy country road. Mr..
Mahoney was not in his car when
the wheel collapsed 1t happened
near Cobb Island as the car was
barely moving. No one was in
jured.
Stops at All Crossroads
! Mr.. Mahoney, accompanied by
score Of Charles County Demo-
cratic leaders. toured about IL
communities and stopped at all
the crossroads in between.
He spent considerable time in
Indian Head, where the Naval
Powder Factory is located. It
also is one of the most populous
voting precincts in Charles.
In talking to people he met
in the Indian Head shops, Mr.,
Mahoney criticized the Repub-
lican administration in WASH
ington for shifting some of the
work formerly done at the
powder factory to private con-
tractors in other States. He said
this Republican policy had
caused lay-offs at the factory.
Indian Head will become a
ghost town If this doesn't stop
soon he said.

supporters might begin making
