Big Cabin John
RezOning Urged

A planning engineer said last
night that all of Montgomery
County's Cabin John watershed
should be rezoned at one time
to conform to a proposed mas
ter plan for the area.
Arthur K. Stellhorn, planning
engineer Of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission, made the proposal
at a meeting of the Montgomery
County Civic Federation.
Mr.. Stellhorn said failure to
rezone the 13.000-acre watershed
in a single move would result in
many separate rezoning hear
lingS.
The master plan made public
recently calls for rezoning of the
area from rural to residential

acre and 5000 square feet pre-
dominating.
Mr.. Stellhorn said the water

zoned in March at the earliest,

more and more heavily upon the
property tax which is the major
source of revenue for the political
subdivisions. while at the same
time increasing its grants of
funds to the political subdivisions
to provide them with adequate
revenue" the committee said.
5-POint Resolution Urged
The committee recommended
that the legislative Council send
"a resolution to the Governor and
the General Assembly indorsing
basic principles of sound fiscal
management, including:
l. Appropriation of surplus for
current operations only when
cash receipts fall below estimated
revenues.
2. A ban on legislative meas
ures Of a delayed action type
which require expenditures in flu
ture years without being accom-
panied by supporting tax legisla-
ton.
3. A ban on tax reductions at
any General Assembly session
which authorizes borrowing for
capital improvements.
4 The use of homecoming
revenues and accumulated sur
pluses for capital improvements
to prevent increases in the State
debt.
5. The use of bonds to cover
only land purchases and erection
of buildings with equipment
and maintenance being financed
out of general funds.
Amendments Asked
Besides urging legislation re-
quiring that general fund sur
pluses in excess of 8 per cent of
estimated revenues be used for
capital expenditures, the COM
-nittee recommended passage of
two constitutional amendments:
l. Requiring that all delayed
action bills be accompanied by
tax supporting legislation.
2. Requiring that the Governor
show it the estimated surplus
or deficit of revenues for the end
of the year following that for
which his budget is submitted as
well as for the preceding year.

Brief Backs Laws
On Bus Racial Ban

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 10 (P)
The South Carolina Public
Service Commission today flee
a brief with the Fourth Circuit
Court of Appeals here, declaring
that State laws requiring segre-
cation of white and Negro pas.
lsengers on buses are not uncon-
lstitutional and have not beer
declared unconstitutional.
The brief was filed by the
commission in the case of Mrs
Sarah Mae Flemming Brown

operators at Columbia for $685.

She charged that a bus driver
hustled her off a bus under the
segregation law. The public
service commission administers
the laws under which city buses
operate in the State.
Mrs. Browns suit charged 9
violation of her civil rights.
The commission brief, filed as
Ia friend of the court, declared
there has been no reversal of a
long standing Federal court de-
Icision recognizing segregation in
transportation.
The woman's case twice has
been turned down by Federal
District Judge George Bell Tim

has appealed. The first time, the
Supreme Court refused to re-
view the case by sending it back
for fuller action. The second
time she appealed to the Circuit

Delegates Set
TO Hear Bills
||nMontgomery

The Montgomery County dele
cation to the Maryland General
Assembly is ready to begin sitting
as a little legislative council
to air views on legislation county
residents want introduced at the
1857 session.
| With the election out of the
way, Delegation Chairman Blair
Lee III and State Senator Ed
ward S. Northrop have scheduled
a meeting with the press today
to discuss proposals already in
hand and the scheduling of pub
lie meetings.
Tentative plans call for four
public meetings beginning No
vember %. The first session, to
be held in the County Building
auditorium, Rockville. will be on
general legislative proposals.
One Of the hottest sessions will
come December 5 at the Mont
gomery Blair High School gym
when the proposed alcoholic bev-
erage law revisions will be dis
cussed.
Session on Planning
On December IL and 10 ses-
sions are scheduled on measures
affecting the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission and the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission, re-
spectively.
In the meantime, the delega-
ton will be holding special ses-
sions with county and State
agencies and with the Prince
Georges County delegation.
The delegation wants to have
all local legislation in hand be-
fore the session opens in Janu-
AIRY.
The delegation already has re-
ceived a draft of a bill to legalize
sale of liquor by the drink in
private clubs. taverns and hotels
and restaurants.
| AS proposed, according to At
torney William r. Richards, the
bill would make eligible for liquor
licenses some As places in the
county. At present only three
restaurants and IL country clubs
are permitted to serve whisky by
the drink.
Club Bill Prepared
Delegate Warren Browning
said today he also would SUBJ
init a proposal for discussion
that would prohibit any country
club from serving other than
bonaf1de members.
There have been many re-
ports that club licenses have
been used as a subterfuge to run
wide-open taverns," Mr.. Brown
ing said.
Chances of a liquor bill being
passed in the form presented
are slim. About the best its pro-
ponents can hope for is a refer
endum on the matter.
Major jobs for the Joint Mont
gomery- Prince Georges delega-
ton include the possible reor-
ganization of the bi-county
Planning Commission and ex-
tension of its jurisdiction
throughout both counties.
Expansion Sought
Expansion of the commission
from six to Is members, crea-
ton of five-member planning
boards to aid the governing
bodies in each county and ex-
tension Of Jurisdiction has been
recommended in a special survey
by a Cincinnati planning con-
Sultant.
The Planning Commission to-
morrow will consider its own
staff proposals for legislative
reform.
Another Joint delegation prob
lem will be legislation affecting
the sanitary commission. At
torney T. Howard Duckett has
been working as special con-
sultant on a study on the COM
missions financial setup. Legis-
lation on the present system of
collecting funds is expected.
