Local Controls

Compromise Would
Give Commission
ReqionuI Powers

montgomery ana Fri n c e
Georges County civic leaders
have drafted compromise de-
signed to provide local control
over planning and coming prob
lens yet preserve regional func-
tions of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
The plan. formulated by IL
representatives of civic groups, is
described b yspokesmen as a
|middle-o -the-road solution to
demands that control be vested
in the counties rather than the
bi-county agency.
Some civic leaders in Mont
gomery have demanded that
county officials take over the
commissions planning function.
In Prinve Georges sntiment ia
vors retention of planning con-
troll by the commission.
'Shaky Package DeaT
Jerome j. Harris, president of
the Montgomery County Civic
Federation, said he believes the
agreement is "a very shaky
package deal" which still must be
approved by the civic organiza-
tions.
The plan closely parallels rec
concentrations made by Segoe
Associates, planning consult
ing firm which recently drafted
IA reorganization program for the
commission.
Most of the civic leaders
agreed to the proposal which
would extend planning author
ity throughout both counties.
The plan also calls for en-
|iargement of the commission
from 6 to 10 members with Gre
alton Of separate planning boards
for each county to deal with To-
cal matters.
Half of the commission, APP
pointed by county governing
officials. would serve on each
board.
Would Get Fiscal Control
The Montgomery County
Council. which now sets its own
planning tax, would obtain fiscal
control over its planning board.
The Prince Georges board would
operate on proceeds of the ures-
|ent Scent tax fixed by the Cen
eral Assembly.
The agreement drew objec-
tons from Darwin Stolzenbach,
president of the Montgomery
County Planning Association,
who said he attended the meet
ing of the leaders but did not
indorse their proposal.
II a mnot infavor of a BIZ
county commission having any
responsibility for Montgomery
County planning. My group still
feels the bi-county commission
is outmoded." he said.
The civic federation, planning
association, the Montgomery
County League of Women Voters
and a committee of the Allied
Civic Group favor abolishing the
commission.

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
fiationary trends are encoun-
tered.
In addition, the county would
receive some $150,000 annually in
taxes from the gas company in
ivestment estimated to be nearly
sis, million.
Tests at Brandywine
Gas company tests on some 20
acres at Brandywine show thus
far the site meets all require
ments for underground storage

deep, two miles wide and six

About 20 individuals who fed
Russian oppression in Hungary
are known to have arrived in the
Washington area. Others have
slipped in without any publicity
to spare the families they left
behind from reprisal.
AS time goes on. more refugees
undoubtedly will pick Washing
ton as their home town. But
not any large number.
Relief officials here point out
that Washington. with its lack
of industrial centers, offers the
refugee little chance of landing
a job when compared to the OPP
portunities Of Chicago, or New
York or Boston. And there is
no hard-shell group Of Hun
garians who have settled here
previously, as there is in Cleve-
land for example.

cember II in Municipal Court
for want of prosecution" after
pending for 10 months.
The District Court case grow
ing out of the same police raid

dismissed by Judge Thomas
Scalley because some of the po-
lice witnesses were not available
at the time the case was called
and he refused to continue the
trial to another day.
Series of Condolences
That decision, reinforced by a
note from another judge saying
mo further continuances," eli
a series of apparent CO.
medicines and misunderstand-
ings which temporarily freed
seven men accused of being
present in an illegal establish
ment.
United States Attorney Oliver
Gasch ordered warrants against
the men to be reissued after a
conference with Assistant United
States Attorney Frederick Smith
son in charge Of the District
Court case; Assistant United
States Attorney Kenneth Wood,
in charge of the Municipal Court
division of prosecutors. and Capt.
John B. Layton of the First Pre-
cinct who led the raid.
Court papers show the District
Court case has been continued
five times since nine men were
indicted on multiple gambling
charges on March 10. Four of
the five continuances were at
the request of the defense.
Four Requests by Defense
Municipal Court records show
five continuances of the case
there after the first continuance
to await a jury trial. Four of the
five continuances were at the re-
quest of the defense.
Police reported after their sur
prise daylight raid on the down.

To us who took part in the

There is freedom to practice

limited to perfunctory ritualistic
