Reform Plan

The Segoe recommendation
for reform Of the Maryland Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission drew mixed reaction
from a panel speaking to tn,
Montgomery County League O.
Women Voters yesterday.
The plan proposes that the BIZ
county commission membership
be increased from six to is pro
viding for 1lve member planning
boards in Montgomery ant
Prince Georges Counties while
retaining their regional frame
work of the commission, and ex
tending its Jurisdiction through
out the two counties.
Bitterest attack on the plan
prepared by LadiSlas Segoe 8
Associates Of Cincinnati, cam,
from William Slayton. of tn,
county planning association.
County Councilman Wilbur N
Baughman said he believed TIN
reorganization would give tn
county additional plannini
assistance and would lead to {
closer cooperation between thu
planning commission and otheI
cnnY1tv aUnnriec
Planning Commission Vic
Chairman Sidney M. Oliver sale
the reorganization would further
the agency'S work on advance
planning because the loca
planning boards would handle
the day-to-day local problems.
Neither Mr.. Oliver nor Mr.
Baughman. however, appeared
to be convinced of the need Of
the 15-member commission.
Mr.. Slayton accused the au.
thors Of the Segoe report of hav-
ing "a fear Of local elected Of
f1cials." He said he favored q
commission responsible to the
electorate.
Mr.. Slayton said it was erron-
eous to call the bicounty agency
a regional commission. He said
he would be satisfied only with
a reorganization for the two
counties.
Mrs. Helen Derryberry, refer.
ing to the proposed commission
as a "three-headed" agency. saic
lit would not pin down respon-
Sibility for planning. She is q
member Of the league.

laws provide, among other
things. for automatic closing and
withholding Of State funds from
public schools where the races
may be mixed, even by Federal
court order.
Mr.. Mann telegraphed Gov.
Stanley as the Governor met
today with the State Treasury
Board in an effort to solve the
States latest dilemma stemming
from the segregation problem.
Backs Retirement Fund Use
The Arlington legislator in
dorsed one idea that was to be
discussed at the conference in
Richmond. That is that money
in the retirement fund for State
employees be invested in school
construction bond issues in the
States cities and counties.
The retirement fund, total
ling some 1868 million, now is
invested in other securities,
chiefly United States Treasury
bonds.
Earlier this week, the city Of
Hopewell failed to receive q sin
gle bid on an authorized bond
issue Of 81 million for schools,
About two weeks ago. South
Norfolk turned down the only
bid submitted for 10000 for
school construction because the
interest rate Of 40 per cent was
regarded as excessive.
Warned in Assembly

State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick. also Of Arlington. were

Assembly who warned ct the

No specific action is recon-
mended on the Federal aid ques-
ton, but the report urges the
following moves to improve Fed
eral-local tax situations:
/. Release of large Federal
properties to private ownership
as quickly as they become
surplus.
Abuses Cited
2. Improved administration OF
the Soldiers and Sailors Civil
Relief Act so that it is not
abused to prevent localities from
collecting taxes of military per-
sonnet.
3. Legislation to permit local
taxation of commercial activi-
ties carried on by private firms
at Washington National Airport
Surprisingly. the report does
not call for new and greater
Federal contributions in lieu OF
taxes to compensate for Gov
ernment-owned land. This ha.
been a frequently voiced sug-
geStion from taxpayers who fee
Federal activity has created an
undue burden on Northern Vir-
ginia.
The report, however. acknowl-
edges that the Government in
Washington has brought North
ern Virginia prosperity as vel
as problems and states:
"Unhappily. the case for SUBJ
stantial additional Federal aid
is not sufficiently compelling to
hold out much promise that a
majority of the Congress will
soon be moved to dip into the
Federal Treasury to relieve the
fiscal problems of the Northern
Virginia communities"
Problem Is in Operation
The report states that North
ern Virginia's grievance is mot
with the spirit of Federal pro-
grams and policies; it is rather
with some Of their operations
and perhaps with it's own failure
to make best use of them"
On the Federal school aid
question, the report says it is
cause for concern" that cur
rent grants to impacted areas
are on a temporary basis.

CTESIBIUS of Alexandria and

The former invented the organ,
the latter builds them.
There the resemblance ends.

Mr.. Lewis, who must have set some

1t has A ranks of 81 pipes each
and contains 21,248 electrical con-
nections to relay the impulses which
generate the wind to sound the pipes.
The pipes which will go into the
organ have been collected from all
over the country during the past
nine years. They are made either
of pipe metal" an alloy of tin and
lead-"why don't know" comments
Mr.. Lewis-or of sugar pine. An
occasional collectors item will be
made of some other kind of wood.
Each pipe makes a sound like a
musical Observation-Disclosures, oboe,
French horror a new" sound
vox humane or cor d'anglais.
The pipes are of varying shapes,
depending on the sound they are
supposed to produce. Few of them
resemble the pipes which you see on
the front Of most church organs.
Most of those are fake pipes for
decorative purposes, according to
Mr.. Lewis.
1t takes about three years Of part
time work for Mr.. Lewis to finish
an organ. The cost is hard to de-
termine. A small, three-rank organ
retails for about $4,000, however.
Handyman Lewis has his work cut
out for him when the organ is
finished. His next project Is 40
French doors to incIose his side
porch.
It seems he wants music room.

Editorial
THE GOVERNORS OPPORTUNITY CONTINUED

the President wins reelection the mem
bers of his cabinet and principal officers, by custom, submit
their designations. This is a matter Of courtesy which relieves
the Chief Executive Of the unpleasant task Of requesting
these designations. It is also a good out" in the event replac-
nents are to be made.
WHILE III Governor Of the Virgin Islands is not
al cabinet officer, he nevertheless is directly responsible to
one of these officers, and it might well be that in good con-
science he ought to pay his superior officer the same cour-
tesy. This is not to suggest that any movement is being
started to seek such a resignation. The idea expressed here
is, to the contrary, one which the Governor, as an astute
executive, should welcome.
WITH HIS RESIGNATION declined, the hand Of the
Governor would be strengthened considerably to carry out
the policies which he instituted, and which he believes
should work well for these Islands This having been done.
the Governors. own cabinet officers could in turn follow
suit, and a real and effective break brought about in stale
mates which now exist
REALIZING THAT Governor Gordon, barring some un-
foreseen event, or an awful letdown in constructive govern
ment, may have his mandate for another four years, he is
ia a position few Governors have enjoyed. Few have found
themselves with such an extended period of orientation and
preparation, followed Immediately by guarantees Of along
and unbroken tenure Of office. The good that can be done
is untold
BUT THERE MUST be a beginning, and this could be-
it. With 4 good staff at his command, with plans and ideas
and enough vision coupled with practicalty there IS no rea-
son whatever why Governor Gordon should not turn in the
finest and most successful job ever performed BY a Governor
Of these Islands.

WELL FOLKS!

WELL FOLKS!
Just what is a bag O. Beer?
Well, down here at Reddy'S
Corner, we have come up with
an idea. We know that you
would often like to take a six
pack of ice cold beer with you
when you are out for a ride,
going to a picnic or drive-in-
theater. But how to keep it ice
cold is always a problem. Well,
we have the little problem solv-
ed for you. We just pack 'em in
ice! We put your ice cold beer
in a water tight plastic bag,
throw a generous scoop OF ice
cubes on top and you are Red
dy" to go.
They stay cold for hours too.
The cost to you is only ten cents.
Just one thin dime!
Now isn't it worth a dime to
have ice cold beverages where
you want them and when you
want them without the fuss and
bother of dragging out that
heavy picnic icebox, buying
leaky ice cubes, packing the
beer, and cleaning up after
wards?
Reddy's Corner Way-We do
all the work and you have all
the fun. Come on "buy" and
give it a try! You'll be glad you
did.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the Editor of the
"Sun"

week ago, a revised housing
code" was proposed to the Phoe-
nix City Council, and was re-
ferred to a later hearing.
2. This is housing code which
will require expensive remodel
ling, and will apply to every
home, rooming house, hotel,
and apartment bldg in every
part of the city. Every property
owner should know about it.
3. The next day, I telephoned
DR.. Dolce of the Board of Health
for copy of the code, so that
owners of homes and other pro-
perties to be affected could
study and understand, it's pro-
visions. A reasonable request, I
thought. But DR.. Dolce said
that a copy was not available,
but would be sent me later. This
morning, one week later, I
again telephoned, and DR.. Dolce
again gave me the same an
swer no copy available.
4. The Republic carried
front page story, three columns
wide, summarizing the code. The
Sunday Republic followed with
a long letter outlining it's pur-
pose. But when property owners
ask for a copy, so that they
can make their public COM
ment on it. then, there is no
copy available!
5. When this code was first
proposed one year ago, the same
general claims were made in
favor of it, that "it was intend
ed only against the Slum". But
when we looked at the provi-
sions of the code, we were all
amazed to find that it was full
of requirements which had no
relation to sanitation and health
1T required rooms bigger in
size than brand new FILA
homes, it outlawed any sharing
of bathrooms in dwellings, it
provided penalty of $500 or 6
months in Jail for every days
violation, and finally condem-
nation and demolishing of your
home. At the final public hear
ing held by the City Council the
code was so completely diScred-
tied, not a single person ap-
peared to speak in favor of it,
It was more strict than any
housing code in any city in the
nation, it was Joutrageously un-
reasonable. &
6. Is it any wonder that the
Phoenix Property Owners Asso-
citation objected to it? And the
City Council finally withdrew
it, and ordered the City Manager
and the city departments to go
over. more carefully, and revise
it.
Z. After whole year of such
study by all city departments,
and after introducing it before
the City Council, and after pub
liciSing it in the press, can any,
one honestly believe that there
isn't any extra copy of this code
that we can look at?
8. Al Rasor now speaks of
education" and sympathetic
understanding. What "sympa-
thetic understanding" does this
show when they don't even give
us a copy to look at what
education" of the public can
there be when we cannot even
see the code for ourselves.
