Rural Airfields Opposed
In another action at River
dale yesterday the commission
voted its opposition to a pro-
posal now under study by the
Montgomery County Council
that would permit establish
ment of small airflelds in the
county's rural area. The COM
mission thus overruled its tech
nical staff on a requested
amendment to the upper county
coming code. on which a hear
ing was held Tuesday at Rock
vile. 1t said the request was
premature and should await
further study on an overall
master plan of airports for the
regional district.

There were rumors of the
move last week, but the first
official word came Tuesday
when the commissioners gave
it a speedy So approval.
Opponents began to form for
the fight they expected next
week when the jai alai hackers
said they would apply tor a

But. late yesterday, the
commissioners issued a license
to Auditoriums, Inc, at a fee
of 100000 to permit the cor

Ralph L Loman, head of the

protests will be heard after the

board tonight; but other county
officials said there was little
that could be done to block
the project, legally anyway,
Wilbur F. Dulin, former Anne
Arundel State Senator, who is
attorney for the auditorium
group and is on it's board of
directors. said a SO million
arena, called a frontan, will be
built on the 27-acre tract about
half way between Baltimore
and Washington.
Building Set to Begin
He indicated construction
would begin Immediately and
the arena would be ready for
use for the 1859 winter sea-
son which will run from No
vember / to March 81. This
would mean the corporation
would be paying 1000 to the
icounty for each of the season S
100 days.
In addition. the county would
take 5 per cent of the betting.
This would be the first jai
alal arena north of Florida, the
only other State which has the
sport. The game is played sim

wearing a webbing on their

about q the size of a baseball

Wife Appeals
Life Insurance
Left 10 Rival

ANNAPOLIS, Nov. IA P.-
The States highest court has
been asked If q married man
may legally change the bene-
tficiary of his life insurance
policy from his wife to a
woman he listed as his flancee
Mrs. Elise M. Chapman of
Silver Spring asked the Court
lof Appeals to reverse the
Montgomery County Circuit
Court and order the Pruden-
tial Insurance Co. of America
to pay her the $4,000 value of
her late husbands life insur-
ance policy.
Her husband, Otis Chapman,
a former Washington police
man. was accidentally killed
last November when a tractor
overturned on him. About a
year before his death, without
knowledge of his wife, he had
changed the beneficiary of his
policy from her to Miss Marion
K. Mellott, a Washington
nurse.
Chapman described Miss
Mellott on his application as
his "fiancee."
Directed Verdict
Mrs. Chapman brought suit
against the insurance company
to collect the proceeds of the
policy, but Circuit Judge
Thomas M. Anderson withdrew
the case from the jury and
granted a directed verdict in
favor of Prudential.
The high court took the case
under advisement along with
others in which:
Mehrl L. Mayne Of Silver
Spring and six members of the
Mayne family asked the high
court to reverse a Montgomery
County Circuit Court Judgment
ordering them to pay $4,000
to real estate brokers Lawrence
Zig and John McKeever as
commission for sale of the
Mayne farm.
100000 Net Claimed
The Maynes insisted they
were to receive 100000 net
from sale of the property, but
Mr.: Fig and Mr.. McKeever said
the property was sold for $780,
900 with the question of COM
mission left open to negotia-
ton.
2. William H. McCeney, jr..
of Falkland sought reversal of
a Montgomery County Circuit
Court decree ordering him to
pay the $4,000 balance due on
purchase Of land from Dr.,
Richard B. Thibadeau.
The lower court ruled that
DR.. Thibadeau had good and
marketable" title to the land
obtained by him under a patent
issued by the State.

Most of the interchange will

could begin in early January.

an underhanded way, trying to
keep it from the public.
What can be done now that
it has gone this far remains to
be seen, but we're certainly
going to let the commissioners
know how we stand on it." he
said.

United Church Women and
several county political figures
Joined the protest the ministers
registered yesterday.
William Woodfield, Gales
vile seafood dealer, will lead
the protest group at tonight's
meeting.
fHasty Action Charged
State Senator Louis N.
iPhipps, a long time opponent
of Mr.. Loman, said the board
acted hastily in the matter.
This matter came as a sur
prise to me. I don't know any
thing about this jai alai-in
fact I don't even know how to
pronounce the name. (He pro-
nounced it the way it looks.)
Il do think, however, that
we have enough gambling in
Anne Arundel County already
and that the board of county
commissioners acted rather
hastily in this matter" he said.
The corporation is answering
criticism by citing the amount
of tax the operation will yield
Mr.. Dulin said the tax should
amount to about 100000 a
year in addition to the annual
100000 license fee. That is
more than the county made last
year on all of its pinball, slot
machine. bingo and other gam
bling take.
Alvin @. Enrich, Washing
ton advertising executive and
another director of the corpor-
alton, said the county's take
would be between 100000 and
81 million, including such
things as real estate taxes and
the additional business that
will be lured to the area. He
said the arena, which could be
used for other purposes during
the off-season. would employ
about 800 persons. 1t will in
clude a dining room for about
600 persons. he said.
Mr.. Enrich said "other
prominent citizens" on the
board of directors would be
announced in the near future,
The two commissioners who
voted against the move said
they did so because they didn't
have enough information about
it. Samuel j. Carr of Annap-
oils said he hadn't heard of il
until it came up for a vote.
The enabling legislation
passed by the county rules out
establishment of another jail
alai arena within 80 miles OF
the one AuditoriumS, Inc. is to
build. The county is little more
than so miles long and not
nearly as wide.

There is one possible bene-
fit. not so visible to the naked
eye, that could come from
the sham perpetrated upon
the Senate and the Ameri-
can people by the Southern
bloc in cutting the civil
rights bill.

representing not only a mi
nority of the Democratic
Party but of the country as
a whole. can work its will
on Congress in a matter
affecting the whole nation.
This display of power is
likely to be more keenly felt
and recognized because it in
trudes upon the human dig
nifty of millions Of persons
who for a long time have
suffered denial of guaranteed
rights which the rest of us
take for granted.
1t thereby becomes more
personal than is the case, for
example, with issues of social
welfare and economic bene-
fits which are not generally
looked upon so clearly as
basic rights.
Those benefits, as We know
some Southern Democrats
also have helped to block,
and in coalition with Repub-
licans. as we saw only a few
days ago in defeat of the
school construction bill in
in the House.
1t Is true that southerners
in the past have stopped
civil rights bills by actual fill
buster or by threat of fill
buster. and that enough Re-
publicans have Joined them
in committee to keep civil
rights bills off the floor.
But now not only have civil
rights been thrust forward by
recent Supreme Court deci-
SionS, but a bill actually got
to the Senate floor for the
first time in over three
quarters of a century.

tory was in sight. Anticipa-

not, whether some little sop
