Are you keeping up with the
new Army? It's not all guided
missiles, radar and precision
drill, you know.
Listen to this-a tense discus
sion among the judges at a mill
tary competition held last night
at Fort Belvoir:
mo good, the colors don't
have any harmony"
"A little too strong on the al
mond."
What hurts this one is the
flavor. If it hasn't got any taste
when you get through, what
have you got?"
But the design here-really
beautiful"
The judges, nine distinguished
military and civilian experts,
picking winners in the fourth
annual Fort Belvoir Cake Bak-
ing Contest.
Outside their guarded con-
sultation chamber, % white
hated mess sergeants and cooks
bit their f1ngernails nervously.
Shot the Works
Sergt. First Glass Tom Carn-
line was wondering if he'd over
done 1t. Eager for a winners
plaque, he had shot the works
six pounds of confectioner's su-
gar, four pounds of butter and
13 different colors in the icing
alone. The design was abstract.
With all that icing, he said, you
can't draw pretty pictures-just
pile it on and hope.
Specialist Third Glass Harold
Force didn't overdo it. He had
dumped three dozen glazed
doughnuts on the table and
dared the judges to pick holes
IN them.
After an hour of looking,
crumbling, tasting. clearing the
palate with fresh water and
tasting again, the judges rem
dered their verdict.
First prize for decorated cakes
went to the Happy Easter" cake,
made by Pvt. William Gardner of
Company N, 9829th Regiment.

AZ Hunters
Fined on Duck
Batting Count

BALTIMORE, Mar. % (P.-
Forty-two duck hunters, most Of
them accused of using corn to
attract ducks-a Federal but not
a State violation-pleaded guilty
in Federal court yesterday and
were handed fines ranging from
81 to $100 plus costs.
Three others did not contest
the charges and were fined. while
six pleaded innocent.
The most common offense was
using corn to attract ducks to
the blind, a violation of the
Migratory Bird Treaty Act.
Maryland law allows batting If
the grain is no closer than 200
yards from the blind.
The difference in the laws Is
IA hotly contested point among
duck hunters, and State and
Federal wardens have not worked
together as teams for the past
two hunting seasons.
Among those fined by Judge
Roszel c. Thomson. and their
IoffenSes:
Steve w. Gambrill. 46. of Ash
ton, Montgomery County, $50
and costs, shooting over bait.
Lawrence Cusic. Is, Compton,
st. . Marys County, $40 and
costs, shooting over bait,
Paul L. Wood. 20, Barstow.
Calvert County, did not contest.
$50 and costs, shooting over
bait.
Daniel A. Guy, 20, Leonard
town, $40 and costs, shooting
over bait.
Charles Koiner. 35, and Sam
Neel. AZ. Rockville, did not con-
test, $25 and costs each, shoot
ing over bait.

would protect an additional 2:
acres of low-lying property fol
further building development.
They collided. however. with
objections from other commune
ties in the f1ood-control area
Opposed to any change in plan.
were North Brentwood anc
Bladensburg officials, who feal
that alterations at this late datt
could delay construction ol
other sections of the project
These two communities have
been among the most heavily
victimized in past floods of the
Anacostia and its branches.
The engineers, moreover, while
polite and sympathetic to the
wishes of the Brentwood dele.
cation. indicated firmness ir
standing by the original plan.
Hearings Held on Plan
William j. Yarnoff, chief oi
the hydraulics structures of the
local Army Engineer Corps dis
trict, said that long before the
engineers settled on a final plan
approved by Congress in 1916,
his office held numerous hearings
and the views of the localities
were given full consideration.
Brentwood townsmen, led by
Mayor William H. Smith, re-
newed their pitch for relocating
the proposed levee parallel to
and on the Northwest Branch
side of Arundel road and Allison
street. The engineers plan calls
for a curving levee that takes
off from the creek bank near
Thirty-seventh street and crosses
Allison street and Window road
to a point near Webster and
Thirty-fourth streets.
Mr.. Yarnoff emphasized that
the ~levee plan favored by Brent
wood would cost an additional
$356,000. In addition to a levee
longer than the one planned by
the engineers. the suggested al
tentative would require erection
OF a pumping station and
Strengthening and partially con-
creting a drainage ditch that
empties into the branch.
Need Congress Approval
To get the additional funds,
Mr.. Yarnoff emphasized, the en-
gineers would have to return to
Congress for authorization. 1t
is uncertain how promptly Con-
gress would act. he said. and
this could certainly delay con-
struction of the upper regions
Of the project.
Further, he said. the extra
cost would be difficult to justify
in terms of f1ood-relief benefits.
Brentwood's only ally yester-
day was G.. M. Holmes. president
OF the Prince Georges County
Flood Control Committee.

sington.
The proposed shopping site lies
on the west side of the planned
extension of Connecticut avenue
from Kensington- Wheaton road
to Viers Mill road. One bound
airy of the property is 240 feet
south of Adams drive.
Fears Traffic Congestion
Mr.. Miller declared the trend
in the county toward large shop
ping areas would result in severe
traffic congestion around the
trading marts.
The three closest centers in
the region are at Viers Mill Viii
lage, Kensington and Wheaton
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission en-
gineers, in recommending denial
of the rezoning, said the three
centers serve the needs Of the
community.
Buford M. Hayden, q WASH
ington land planning consultant,
described the residential area
under construction as "one OF
the denseSt single family home
areas in the county"
The shopping center site is
part of a larger, undeveloped
tract, he said.
"It is therefore possible to plan
the center in harmony with sur
rounding residential land" Mr..
Hayden said.
Leonard r. Snyder, an attor-
ney of 11722 Highview avenue,
Wheaton, acted as spokesman
for the protesting residents.
1.-THE people are happy to pat
ronize centers already in exist
ence," he said. 1.-The day Of the
corner grocery store is past"
Sidney S. Chernick. president
of the North Kensington Citi-
zens' Association. labeled the re-
zoning request as "a crude at
tempt at spot zoning."
Kensington Rezoning Pleas
The council also took under
advisement two requests for
commercial zoning in Kensing-
ton.
One involved an application
by William J: and Frances Gu
sack for general commercial
CO use on a 20,000-square-
foot lot at Concord street and
Plyers Mill road.
Richard H. Clark. a member
of the Town Council, said Ken
sington officials indorse the plan
but requested half of the tract
be reserved for possible use as
a buffer parking area.
The Town Council, however,
opposed the second request-for
Evening star., 1956-03-23

local or general commercial zon-
ing on q quarter-acre tract
fronting on Summit avenue. The
application was made by two
physicians. Drs. George Sharpe
and John o. Robben. They
hope to use a residence on the
property as an office facility for
themselves and a third doctor.
Mr.. Clark said the Kensington
master plan of zoning, adopted
by the town last July and by the
park and planning commission
last November, would be violated
by the proposed rezoning. He
added that the Town Council
would not oppose a request by
the doctors for a special excep-
ton to maintain doctors offices
on the site.

the council was about to an.
nounce a site selection.
| Supporters for two other sites
however. appeared at the meet
ing.
A delegation from the Herndon
area spoke for the offer of the
Bowman brothers, ~who have
agreed to give $50 acres of their
Sunset Hills farm plus $25, 900
cash.
Town Offers Services
Sunset Hills is on the outskirts
of Herndon. Mayor William
Enderle of Herndon said the
town could serve the Bowman
tract with water and sewers. He
read a letter from the Washing
ton. Virginia & Maryland Coach
Co. indicating bus service would
be extended anywhere the COL
Ilege locates.
Verlin Smith, Of Vale in Fair
fax County, read a statement
by a newly formed Committee
for a Suitable Site. The state
ment, signed by S. Cooper Daw-
son, jr.. argued that the Carr
property was to close to the pro-
posed Burke Airport and the
Southern Railway tracks. and
said it was highly inconvenient"
for a large part of Northern
Virginia.
Mr.. Smith said he was not
endorsing any specific site, but
spoke favorably of the Bowman
property.
Tom White, real estate man,
urged the council to consider
an offer from the owners of
Ravensworth Farm on Braddock
road near Annandale. He said
the owners were willing to donate
part of site and sell part. He
pointed out that Ravensworth
was close to the proposed Cabin
John Jones Point freeway and
also Shirley highway.
Overlooks Belvoir
This site overlooks Fort Bel
voir's Accotink Reservoir from
the north. The site offered by
Mr.. Carr is on the south side of
the reservoir, along the Southern
Railway tracks.
No representative of Mr.. Carr
appeared for his offer. A letter
was read from Attorney Andrew
w. Clarke informing the council
that the Carr offer would expire
after 80 days. The letter also
said the offer was subject to Ger
tain conditions, including install
lation of a sewer line to the site

THE CHEF SAYS
YuIetide
Presents
Of Food

Christmas shopping all done?
But what about those friends
with whom you don't exchange
gifts. but who somehow rate
more than card? The perfect
Isolution-a gift from your
kitchen.
This year why not be the
cook who sends out tiny jars
of her very best preserves, jam
or relish instead of cards to
favorite friends? Or, if you're
more ambitious, your ideas may
run to fruit cakes, homemade
cookies or candies, festively
wrapped and with a Christmas
greeting attached. You may
want to package the speciality of
the house in a useful-later kitch-
en- gadget-a small mold, per-
Ihaps, or a small glass candy jar,
mortar and pestle, or small cop
Iper saucepan.
If your speciality isn't a con-
ventional one-if your friends
rave. say, over your jellied
salad or Swedish meatballs, why
not send supply, attractively
packaged? One cook ! know
who makes a particularly de-
licious lentil soup sends friends
quart jars Of it, hand-enameled
on the outside with holiday
motifs.
You haven't a speciality? Here
are two ideas for Christmas gifts
of food. Both are to make with
red, Christmasy cranberries.
Fresh Cranberry Conserve
i Combine 4 cups of fresh cram
berries, l cup of water and az
Icups of sugar in a large sauce

:Icup raisins, and / tablespoon

moderately low heat for IS
minutes. or till mixture is very
thick. Stir in l cup of chopped
nuts. Pack in sterilized Jars and
seal. This makes 4 half pint
:Igift jars.
Cranberry Holiday Bread

in measuring cup with 2 table,
spoons shortening and enough
boiling water to make "a cups.

l cup sugar, u teaspoon soda,
and "a teaspoon salt together.
Add liquid and / beaten egg to
