Citizens Once
Fought Project

The Potomac Electric Power
Co s new Chevy Chase substa-
ton, plans for which aroused
civic opposition more than twn
years ago, will be completed in
mid-July, a PEPCO spokesman
said yesterday.
The brick building, constructed
to conform with residential
structures in the neighborhood,
viii cost about $4,000. includ-
ing electrical equipment. It is
located in the 5000 block Of East
West highway, just west of Con-
necticut avenue in the incor-
porated area of Chevy Chase
Section 4.
Section 4 residents, through
their citizens committee, pro-
tested the transformer substa-
ton when PEPCO applied for a
special exception before the
Montgomery County Board of
Appeals in November. 1858.
The appeals board in jan
uary, 1854, granted the excep-
ton on condition that the sta
ton be provided with acoustical
material to minimize the hum
of transformers and that window
shutters be installed.
The boards ruling was APP
pealed in the county circuit
court by section residents who
claimed that all property in the
incorporated area was covered
by restrictive covenants limit
ing its use to single-family resi-
dences.
After the Circuit Court ruled
in July, 1855, that "the restric-
tive covenants must give way
to the paramount necessity of
public SERVICE" the citizens
group ended its opposition.
The substation will be one
of the utility company's 30 plus
unattended residential trans
formers stations. 1t will serve
the Chevy Chase (Md.) area
from Chevy Chase Circle to
Chevy Chase Lake.

Air AuthOrity's
Aims Explained
Fenwick Stresses
Flexible Approach

RICHMOND, Va, June 2 (P)
Charles r. Fenwick of Airing
ton says there is mo intention
that a proposed state airport
authority should supersede the
State Corporation Commissions
aeronautics division. He says
the aim is rather ito supplement-
the division.
Fenwick's comment came yes
terday after airlines representa-
tives raised questions about the
ACCESSIBILITY Of creating such an
authority at a meeting Of the
State Airport Facilities Study
Commission. Fenwick, chairman
Of the study group. was chief
patron of the Senate resolution
creating it.
Jennings Randolph, assistant
to the vice presidnet of Capital
Airlines, said 1T seems illogical
to think in terms of q state air.
port authority superimposed on
the aeronauticS division of the
State Corporation Commission. .
Randolph said he thought the
study group had better look
over" proposals to establish the
authority. He said he had some
mental reservations about the
advisability of such a move.
Fenwick said the proposed au-
thority would be official enough
to work with Federal and
local governments but flexible
enough" to do some things the
state as such might not be in a
position to do"
Richard B. Hager, vice presi-
dent Of the Piedmont Airlines,
said his company gets along well
with existing facilities, commits
sions and regulatory agencies
and wanted no change.
]. H. Durand, secretary Of the
Air Transport Association, said
the traditional pattern Of United
States airport development has
been that Of community and
Federal Government co-opera-
ton. He said he could see no
advantage to creation Of a State
authority.
The study commission con-
ferred in a closed session yester-
day with two officials Of the Civil
Aeronautics AUTHORITY.
Fenwick termed yesterdays
hearings as cropping for infor-
nation" to guide his group on
what is required to keep the
State abreas tot air transporta-
ton potentialities.

Gambling Tax Charges
Dropped on Venue Issue

Federal Judge Alexan n
Holtzoff yesterday ruled that
persons cannot be prosecuted in
the District on charges of failing
to pay the gambling occupational
tax because of lack of venue
here.
He held that venue or juris-
diction on the charge lies in
Maryland where such tax is
supposed to be paid.
/ In mis- ruling, Judge Holtzoff
dismissed gambling charges
against six persons. who also
are accused of promoting a
numbers lottery. The latter
charge still stands.
The ruling could result in dis
missal of gambling tax charges
against scores of other Defend
ants in gambling cases.
Prior Ruling Cited
Before Judge Holtzof ruled.
however, attorneys directed his
attention to the fact that Chief
Judge Bolitha j. Laws of the
United States District Court for
the District of Columbia, in an
other case, ruled last January
that venue does lie in the Dis
trict in prosecuting charges Of
failing to pay the gambling oc-
cupational tax. Judge Holtzoff
was told that motion for Judge
