Foqqy Bottom and GNU
Projects Get Study Funds

The Commissioners yesterday
authorized the Redevelopment
Land Agency to draw Federal
funds for Surveys and studies
that may lead to official urban
renewal projects in the George
w a shington University and
Foggy Bottom areas.
The action constituted a legal
technicality. following up the
Commissioners decision last
March that such studies should
be made.
After the action last March
RIA applied for $116,876 in Fed
Ieral funds to study and plan the
GNU area. south of Pennsyl-
vania avenue NV. between Nine
Iteenth and Twenty fourth streets,
and $80,575 for the Foggy Bot
tom area, south Of Pennsylvania
and west of Twenty-fourth street.
Last month the Housing and
Home Finance Agency agreed to
provide these funds. Yesterdays
action by the Commissioners will
let RIA begin drawing the
money.
In the action last March the
Commissioners said they wanted
to see results of the surveys and
studies" before deciding whether
the areas should become official
urban renewal projects.
One reason the action was
pressed yesterday was that RIA
hopes to seal the contract with

Safety Factors Stressed
In Gas Storage Plans

Economic and safety factors
of the proposed underground
storage of natural gas at Brandy
wine. Md. are being emphasized
by the Washington Gas Light
Co. in its current drive to win
public support for the project.
Utility officials told the Prince
Georges County Commissioners
yesterday the saving realized by
the company would be refunded
in rates to consumers if no in
flationary trends are encoun-
tered.
In addition, the county would
receive some $50. 1000 annually in
taxes from the gas company in
vestment estimated to be nearly
SIS million.

4Disputed Bills
Again Likely 10
ace Assembly
Right-to-Work Issue
Among Items Facing
Annapolis Session

ANNAPOLIS, Dec. 20 R.-
Four of the most lobbied bills of
past Maryland legislative sessions
are expected to bounce back for
a 1957-return showing.
Kept on the fire between ses-
Sions and ready to be served up
again are such hot issues as the
rockfish, roadside control and
registration-fees bills.
Outlaw Union Shop
The fourth is advertised by its
hackers as the fright to work
bill" and by its opposition in the
labor unions as the right to
wreck bill" It's major effect
would be the outlawing of the
union shop in Maryland.
Senator Fred Malkus, Demo-
GRAFT Of Dorchester, has made no
bones about his intention to re-
introduce his measure to repeal
scheduled increases in motor
vehicle registration fees. They
would raise the SIS fee to $40
and the $23 fee to $50, with even
bigger increases for trucks and
other commercial vehicles.
The increases were approved
by the Legislature when it en-
acted the 12-year roads program
in 1858. but they were not to 90
into effect until one year after
the rest of the programs flnanc-
ing provisions.
Effective Date Postponed
Senator Malkus. contending
the commission did not need
the funds from higher fees,
spearheaded three successful
fights, each postponing the effec-
tive date Of the increases for
one year.
Roads commission officials
have said they will no longer
fight to keep the scheduled in
creases. However. they are ex-
pected to give the Legislature
a "take-or-leave-it" argument to
the effect that. unless the fees
are raised, they will have to
dip into construction funds for
about So million extra to supple
ment road maintenance funds.
The anti union shop bill,
backed largely by contractors
groups. had Annapolis observers
trying to guess who would in
troduce it.
1t was finally dropped into
the hopper by Senator James
Weinroth, Democrat of Cecil,
given the thumbs-dow treat
ment by the Labor Committee
under Senator Anthony DIDO
menico. Democrat of Baltimore,
and killed on a floor vote.
Like virtually any bill which
might affect Maryland water
men, the rockfish bill resulted
in an invasion Of Annapolis by
hundreds of Eastern Shore and
Southern Maryland fishermen
when it was presented to the
lawmakers in 1854.
Sport Groups Back Measure
This measure would outlaw
fishing for striped bass, known
more commonly as rockfish, in
Maryland waters during January
and February. The Izaak WAL
ton League, Rockfish Protective
Association, and similar organi-
cations backed the bill.
Proponents succeeded in hav-
ing the measure petitioned out Of
the committee for a vote on the
floor, where Is was killed.
