usually had to settle for some
other brand. which they gen.

Would Block
Non-Adjoeent
HyottsviIIe PIon
BY GENE GOODWIN
Star star Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. "A bill Is
being prepared for introduction
in the Maryland Legislature next
week to prevent hop-scotch an
nexation Of non-contiguous ter
ritory, such as that now being
effected by the city Of Hyatts-
vile.
Delegate Carlton r. Sickles,
Democrat of Prince Georges
County. said today he is draft
ing such a bill.
MIR. Sickles said he is acting
at the request of the Prince
Georges Civic Federation. which
went on record Thursday night
in opposition to hop-scotch an
Inexation.
The Delegate said he felt that
the Legislature, when it passed
the municipal home rule law
last year. had intended munich
qualities to annex only land adj
jacent to their existing corpo-
rated limits.
Mile From City Line
The Hyattsville Mayor and
Council on January Is voted to
annex 9-acre tract Of unde-
veloped land on Colesville road,
just northwest of Northwestern
High School.
The land is just across the
street from University Park, an
other incorporated municipality,
but almost a mile from the clos
est Hyattsville boundary line at
Queens Chapel road.
1t Is owned by the Wood
Manor Co.. which plans to de-
velop homes there, Hyattsville
officials have maintained that
the owners of the tract re-
quested the annexation in order
to provide their homes with
municipal services.
The annexation will be final
on March / unless the owners
of the tract or 20 per cent of the
voters of Hyattsville petition for
Ia referendum.
The large and valuable Heurich
tract lies between the annexed
territory and the present Hyatts-
vile boundary. Opponents Of
the move have accused Hyatts-
willie of trying to work a squeeze
play in order to bring the
Heurich property into the city
limits.
Delegate Perry o. Wilkinson,
chairman of the all-Democratic
Prince Georges delegation here.
said he is opposed to annexation
OF non contiguous land by mu-
inequalities. Mr.. Sickles' bill is
apt to cause a fuss in his coun-
tvs delegation, however, since
one of the. delegates is Hervey
@. Machen, Hyattsville city at
torney.
To Meet on Planning Issue
Mr.. Wilkinson also announced
that the Senators and delegates
from Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties will meet here
at 5 pm. on Monday to discuss
what action they will take on
two Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
bills Gov. McKeldin vetoed after
the 1855 session.
Mr.. Wilkinson, who Is chair
man of the joint delegation, said
1T was hoped the lawmakers will
have a written opinion from the
Attorney General on the consti-
tutionality of the bills. The Gov
ernor and chief cousel for the
planning agency have commended
the measures are invalid. Some
members of the legislative dele
cations from Montgomery and
Prince Georges disagree.
The bills would re-organize
the bi-county commission and
transfer control from Republic
cans to Democrats, and extend
its Jurisdiction throughout all
of Montgomery except Rockville,
IGaithersburg and Washington
Grove.

by a consultant for establish
ment Of an area-wide regulatory
commission to supervise privately
operated transit companies.
Proposal Outdated
Although this proposal, or
dered last year as part of an
area-wide study of transporta-
ton problems, has been largely
outdated by plans for public
ownership here. Mr.. MCLAUGHLIN
said the groups consultant may
write a supplementary report
adapting features of his proposal
to public ownership plans.
A spokesman for the Senate
District Committee said the
group will settle down at 2:30

He said the session will open
with a hearing for I. William

and organizer Of the Washington

After the committee questions
Mr.. Stempil and Public Utilities

e. c. Hayes, who is to report on
Mr.. Stempil's success or lack of
It, the committee plans to hear
former Senator Willard E. Ty-
dings.
Mr.. Tydings represented a
group of Baltimore investors in
another Of the six applications
for the etc franchise.
Then, the committee spokes-
man said, If no other would-be
private operators wish to be
heard, the Senators will begin
Immediately to take testimony
from the District Commissioners
and members of the Public Utili-
ties Commission on the proposed
transit authority itself.
The public ownership plan was
recommended by city officials
after they had decided that they
had received no satisfactory
offers from would-be private OPP
orators.
Meanwhile Max NJ. Kampel-
man said he will not seek to
appear before the committee
unless his present negotiations
to finance a privately owned bus
company work out successfully.
Mr.. Kampelman has been
working with officials of the
Washington Board Of Trade to
organize a private operating
company and indicated Thurs
day he was hopeful of complet-
ing a formal proposition within
