Planning Laws
Are Advanced
In Maryland
BY GENE GOODWIN
Star STAFF Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. 8.-Moves
to expand the jurisdiction of the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission today
were advancing through the
Legislature here.
The Senate received a meas
ure approved by the House last
night to extend the regional dis
trict of the planning commission
throughout all of Montgomery
County.
Rockville, Gaithersburg and
the other municipalities of the
upper county not now in the
regional district are exempted
except that they may contract
with the planning commission
for its services.
Meanwhile. the Prince Georges
delegation agreed to extend the
regional district to all of the
area north of Central avenue
and 300 feet south of that high
way.
That would add all of the
Laurel and Bowie election dis
tricts and part of the Queen
Anne district. The delegation
already has introduced a bill
adding the Oxon Hill district
and parts of the Bowie and
Piscataway district to the plan

diction.

counsel to the planning com.
mission. Mr.. Duckett told thu
delegates yesterday that thu
completion of the Washington.
Annapolis expressway in about
a year will spur development o.
that area.
/ At the same time, the Prince
Georges delegates said they were
drafting a measure to allow
citizens outside the regiona
district to petition the county
commissioners for referendum or
extending it to new areas.
Mr.. Duckett also persuaded
the Prince Georges group to put
in a bill increasing the planning
commissions park tax in that
county from Z to 8 cents per $l0C
Of assessed eyaluation.
Hoped for 10 Cents
He said he would like to SCI
the rate increased to 10 cents
but understood the delegation
opposed that. He said it vii

took the setting trick.
Note that If Mr.. Masters had

unlikely. since that would give
Mr.. Abel a five-card spade suit
and he had never bid spades.
The best hope. then. was that
the lead was from a doubeton.
Mr.. Masters did not play his ace
of spades at trick one. That card
was the only quick entry to his
hand. He played the nine-the
highest card he could spare-to
encourage another lead Of the
suit If Mr.. Dale could gain the
lead before all Of his trumps
were taken away from him.
AS you see, this was the killing
defense. At trick two Mr.. Abel
led the queen Of hearts from the
board and finessed it. Mr.. Dale
won with the king and returned
his last spade. the trey. This

There is a lot more to defense
than the cashing of aces and
kings. Today's four-heart con-
tract looks unbeatable at first
glance. 1t appears that Mr.. Abel
has to lose only one spade, one
heart and one club. And If the

Actually. he doesn't have a

Mr.. Dale led the seven Of spades
and dummy's king was put up. If
you held Mr.. Masters cards what
would you play?
He had only one right play
and. of course. he made it. Here
was his reasoning: First he
made a mental check to see If his
partners lead could be a fourth
highest card from a long suit.
Using the rule Of IL, he deducted
the number of the card led from
IL. Seven from IL leaves four
spades higher than the seven
outside Of Mr.. Dale's hand.
But he could see five spades
higher than the seven in his own
hand and dummy alone. There
fore. the opening lead was not a
fourth highest. It was a top Of
nothing lead from a holding Of
three cards or less.
Could it be a singleton? Very

My Book Report
Here is an interesting book
called Appleseed Farm, by Emily
Taft Douglas. 1 got it at the
school library. 1 don't know if
the story is true. There are quite
a few pictures in the book. The
part that 1 like is when Ada was
lying on the ground beside the
spring. Ada felt very empty and
tired. Then Ada heard something.
She thought that it might be
rattlesnake, or an Indian. Then
Ada saw man looking at her,
She was scared. He was the
straightest man she had ever
seen. He was very thin. His gray
hair touched his shoulders, and
his clothes were the queerest she
had ever seen. He wore a burlap
coffee sack for a skirt, and his
bare legs stuck out below short,
faded overalls. This outfit was
topped by wide-brimmed hat
made of cardboard. After you
read this book you will like it as
much as I did,
