Prince Georges
Bourd Endorses
I25-Yeor Program

The Prince Georges Board of
County Commissioners have in
dorsed "in principle" the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commissions general
plan to guide development dur
ing the next 25 years.
Herbert w. Reichelt, president
of the five-man board, said last
night the commissioners agreed
the county must use foresight in
its expansion and that the gen.
eral plan was a good guide.
He added he did not expect
the commissioners would con-
duct page-by-page study nor
give specific recommendations
on the proposal since it is merely
la blueprint from which the
planning commission expects to
draft a master plan.
Mr.. Reichelt spoke on the
plan as member of a panel
discussion sponsored by the
Icounty's League of Women
Voters and Civic Federation in
Hyattsville County Building.
Harry A. Boswell. jr,, real
estate developer and a member
of the panel, called the plan a
worthwhile step" but empha-
sized that any plan adopted Of
ficially must be flexible in view
of long range proposals.

Maryland Board
Asks Support for
Land Purchases

Nearby Maryland planning
officials have appealed for public
support in their bid to get $3l8,-
900 from the Federal Govern
ment for two new park land
purchases.
The money would be used to
buy some 80 acres for addition
to the Sligo Creek Park near
Wheaton and Little Falls Branch
Park near Bethesda.
At its meeting in Riverdale yes
terday. the Maryland-Nat
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission urged civic organizations
and individuals to get behind the
move so the land can be acquired
before prices become prohibitive
or it is encroached upon by sub
division developers.
The commission is seeking an
outright grant of 100000 and
an interest-free loan of 1912, 200
in accordance with provisions of
the Capper-Crampton Act. The
loan would be paid off in eight
years.
A formal request for such
funds was made Tuesday by
Sidney M. Oliver, vice chairman
and park commissioner for the

pearance with staff members

route over several other posi-

John Nolen, jr., planning COM
mission director, said the dis
cusSion should develop proce-
dures for his groups review of
the proposal. Earlier, Mr.. Nolen
asked the District Commits
sioners without success to hold
off Endorsement of the route
until it could be studied fully
by the planners.
On another matter, Harry T.
Thompson. National Capital
Parks associate superintendent,
will present proposals for a
multi-million dollar memorial to
the American freedoms set forth
in the Bill of Rights, to be built
on the Nevius tract near the Two
Jima Memorial in Arlington
County.
On Mall Axis
1t would be located on the axis
of the Mall. across the Potomac
River from Washington, in a
line with the Capitol, Washing
ton Monument and Lincoln Me-
mortal, which he described as
the last greatest memorial site
thus available. Mr.. Thompson
said that the memorial would be
"a tribute to Democracy, rather
than to any one man. 1t would
contain a running history of
the country carved in bas-
relief"
Mr.. Thompson, who is the
secretary of the National Monu-
ment Commission set up by the
83d Congress, said that the prof.
ect would set forth the prin-
cipal events that made our
democratic way of life what it is
today"
He pointed outs this project
would not compete with the
other memorials, such as the
Washington Monumen and
Lincoln Memorial, but would
blend in with large trees and
gardens. He described it as "a
great wall of history with carv-
ings."
The presentation to the plan
ners by Mr.. Thompson was ar
ranged so that they could deter
mine if the preliminary pro-
posals of the commission are ac-
ceptable. They have already
been laid before the Fine Arts
Commission.

GSA Buys Lost Sites
Near White House

The General Services Admin
Iistration has completed acqusi-
ton of all private property in
the block across Pennsylvania
avenue from the White House.

Isite for a S27.4 million Federal
office building.
The new structure, to be

part of a 10-year GSA program
to replace tempos with per-
manent Office buildings.
Must Provide for Court
The Senate Public Works
Committee, which approved the
project last year, specified that
the new building must provide
space for the United States
Court of Claims. which now oc-
cupies the old building at the
Seventeenth street and Penn
sylvania avenue corner of the
block.
Testimony before the Senate
committee also suggested pos
sible use of the building for
crowded White House executive
Offices.
Oficially, however, GSA said
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-31

no use has been specified for
the new building. In addition, a
special White House commission
is studying its critical expansion
problems, and is expected to re-
port a large-scale program next
summer.
Parcels Involved
GSA said the final acquisi-
ton" of private property in the
block involved nine adjoining
parcels extending for about 27O
feet along Jackson place. Bal
ance of the square already is in
public ownership or in public
use under deeds of trust.
-Four historic properties in the
block will be excluded from the
new building site. They are Blair
and Blair-Lee House on
Pennsylvania avenue, and the
Decatur House AMI Naval Mu-
scum at jackson place and H
street.
GSA took title to the nine laird
parcels after depositing a check
in Federal Court for S3.1 million,
representing appraised market
value. Owners may accept the
estimated values or seek more
money in condemnation court.

Longer Drinking
Hours Fought
BY Wheat|ey
Senator Threatens
To Seek Dispensory
System for County
By GENE GOODWIN
Star Staff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 31.-State
Senator H. Winship Wheatley,
il, Democrat of Prince Georges.
said today he will not tolerate
any extension of legal drinking
hours in his county.
He said some Prince Georges
County clubs and restaurants
have requested later Saturday
night hours and legalized Sum-
day sales.
County law now prohibits the
sale of hard liquor from mid
night Saturday until 6 am.
Monday. Beer and light wine
can be sold from 8 am. until
midnight on Sunday.
Recent publicity would GER
tainly seem to seal off any
changes in liquor sale hours. .
Senator Wheatley said.
Senator Wheatley's statement
of opposition to legalizing Sum-
day sales was his second blast
! in as many days at the liquor
industry in his county.
DispensOry Threat
He issued a press statement
yesterday in which he threat
ened to introduce legislation for
a liquor diSpensary system in
Prince Georges patterned after
the Montgomery model.
If the time is here when the
liquor industry can flaunt the
law and apparently make it diff
cult for law enforcement officers
to carry out their duties" he
said, then a change in the
county liquor system might be
necessary"
/ Senator Wheatley made that
statement after comforting here
with States Attorney Blair H.
Smith and County Police Chief
George j. Panagoulis. He said
the purpose of the conference
was to ascertain whether any
legislative changes would be re-
CURED to assist enforcement of
existing liquor and gambling
laws"
Mr.. Smith last week end said
the ban on Sunday sales was
being violated so widely that he
was seeking State police aid to
enforce the law. Later he said
he believed county and town
police would be able to do the
job after all.
No Change Sought
/ Senator Wheatley in his state
ment yesterday said Mr.. Smith
and Chief Panagoulis had ad-
vised him that the situation is
now under control and no change
in the law is necessary for en-
forcement purposes.
The Senator said he plans to
draft a dispensary system bill
for purposes of discussion His
present thinking, he said is that
the county would have to de-
velop the system gradually by
letting the present package store
licenses die and opening UP
county-owned and crate d
liquor stores as the need arose
His proposal also encompasses
restricting the number of clubs
though probably not as re-
strictive as Montgomery County

Good Resolutions !.
To Try and Keep -
BY JACK JONAS

January has been a shatter-
ing month
Strewn over the living room,
the basement, the route
downtown and the Office are
the fragments of New Years
resolutions, as dead as last
falls campaign promises.
For one who made no such
resolutions, the month has
been a happy one, stepped in
the familiar bad habits and
the old shoe feeling of letting
1856 slide right into 1857 with
out change
He has long held the theory
that a year is too many
months for keeping even the
best resolutions. He has
adopted-and has tried to
persuade the world it is the
best plan-the program of the
Eleven Months Resolutions.
All through January he has
watched his friends struggle
to maintain the brave lists of
January /. He has noted their
many failures and few sue
cesses, and has now drafted,
from this experience, his
Eleven Months Resolutions.
1t has obvious advantages.
Still keeping your reso-
lutionS?" a friend asks slyly
on February /.
"Of course" he replies
righteously, perhaps losing a
friend but keeping his in
tegrity.
He is fortified by the ex-
perience of those who failed.
He can Shun their mistakes.
One of the ways he does this
is to avoid making the same
resolutions they did. He sticks
strictly to practical things.

That's why one of the deadliest
insults a male student can deliver
is TO call the young woman at the

Most girls realize this. Mary

Limited Social Life

There is usually greater concen-
tration on the business of study
and learning. Social life is limited
to week ends, traditional parties or
visits to homes of classmates at
special occasions. For the rest it's
a mans world.
School spirit runs high at mems
school. sometimes apparently more
so than at other institutions. There
is a feeling of belonging to a rather
select band of gentlemen-meanin

peopled by men and women the CO.
educational college is foretaste of
what to expect. say its proponents.
So co-educational colleges are
merely a step IN an inevitable di-
rection.
Maybe it is correct as some in
sist. that differences in mental
levels cause women in coeducational
colleges to became bored by the
lack of mental stimulus. That
would, of course. be true if class
instruction is geared to the slower
developing male.
