American Institute of Archi-
tects' National Capital Com
rnittee.
Outlining the report to the
Committee of 100 on the
Federal City, Mr.. Justement
said the main trouble with
planning groups here is that
they have no positive authority
to carry out plans for big
projects like bridges and high
ways.
And the advisory authority"
they do have. his report said,
merely incites arguments and
delays"
On the other hand. he said,
the National Capital Planning
Commission has complete con-
troll over such matters as hous-
ing and urban renewal and
wastes time on trivial details
instead of the creation and
realization of a powerful and
imaginative city plan"

Showdown SET
On Casino Bill
Race Track Merger
Also Due for Action
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. 22.-Mon-
day may be jackpot night in
the Maryland Senate with the
possibility Of showdown fights
being scheduled on legislation
to outlaw gambling on the
Potomac River and to permit
the Pimlico-Laurel Race Track
merger.
Minority Leader Harry T.
PhoebuS. sponsor of the anti
casino bill, yesterday demanded
that it be brought to the floor
of the Senate Monday night for
a test vote.
Already scheduled for a Mon
day night fight is action on a
+, favorable Finance Committee
report on the Pimlico-Laurel
bill.
The gambling measures be-
fore this session are creating
serious tensions between legis-
lators and holding up action on
the budget and other fiscal
matters.
Yesterday Senator Phoebus
virtually accused the Senate
Judicial Proceedings Commit
tee of trying to stall his anti
casino bill.
Committee Vice Chairman H.
Winship Wheatley, jr., denied
this but would promise only
that the bill would be acted on
"in due time"
Legislation Tie Seen
Another senator, well aware
of Senator Phoebus' efforts to
open the Potomac River to
patent longing for oysters
suggested his move for a speed
up on the anti-slot machine bill
was tied in with his oyster legis-
lation.
Noting that there were only
about 10 days left in this ses-
sion, the senator said, cit would
take at least 10 days for Sena-
tor Phoebus to figure out
whether he could get an oyster
into a slot machine"
The slot machine bill was the
subject Of a Joint hearing by
the Senate and House judiciary
Committees yesterday that
brought out these points:
/. Contrary to previous re-
ports. Prince william County
supervisors favor the casinio
ban ST.. prince william is the
location Of Freestone Point,
of which is anchored a gam
bling Ship
2. Delbert and Dennis Con-
ner. operators Of Little Reno
and the Jackpot piers at CO.
lonial Beach. Va, could not
recall their daily or annual slot
machine takes.
3. Colonial Beach business
men-or at least many Of them
favor retention Of the gam
bling casinos.
Legislators not only had no
success in determining how
profitable it is for the Corners
to operate 435 slot machines,
but they also had trouble trac-
ing ownership of the machines.
Some legislators expressed
concern over not learning ex-
actly where the machines came
from.
The Corners said they leased
theirs from Southern Maryland
Novelty Co.. operated by the
widows Of Wilbur and Russell
Howard IN Charles County.
Carl Hill, Of the Freestone
Point Ship. said the ships 200
came from e. Elwood Jones.
Mr.. Jones said he got them
from Potomac Novelty Co. 1t
was then volunteered that the
company was owned by j.
Frank Abel and Earl Misler.
Senate Judiciary Proceedings
Chairman Frederick c. Malkus
suggested that Virginians dis
satisfied with the piers should
go to their own Legislature for
relief.

it system within the District Of
Columbia.
This authority, the report
said, should be given the power
by Congress to negotiate with
Maryland, Virginia. or both, for
development of the transit sys-
tenn beyond the city boundaries:
Mr., Justement said his group
felt this would be much sim
pier than to try to set up an
area-wide authority by means
of an interstate compact at the
levels of Congress and the TIVE
State legislatures. 81
Plan Provides Grants
The report proposed that the
new transit corporation be en-
powered to issue bonds, and
that it raise revenues through
transit fares and through the
development of areas parallel
ing the transit right-of-way.
To the extent that these reve-
nues would not be sufficient to
finance construction of the ex-
pensive transit system, the re-
port said. Congress should pro-
vide Federal grants in the form
of a subsidy for the District
portion.
The carefully planned layout
of the mass transit system, the
report said. thus would set the
pace for planning other de-
velopments and end the present
chaos"
1t said the new transit corpo-
ration. in effect, would create
a framework within which the
National Capital Planning
Commission and the various
county planning commissions
could function more efficiently
than they do now because the
overall pattern of the city
would be established on the
basis Of area-wide planning"
Discussion Of Plan Set
Joining Mr.. Justement as
members of the committee pro-
posing the plan were Architects
John F. HARRISON of Philadel-
phia; Zero Saarinen of Bloom
field Hills. Mich; Henry R. !
Shepley of Boston. and Edward
D. Stone of New York.
The Committee of 100 took no
action on the Justement report,
but agreed to study it and dis.
cuss it at its March meeting.
On other matters, the Com
mittee of 100:
/. Instructed Mai. Gen. U. S.
Grant III to draw up a resolu-
ton on the Route 240 contro-
versy. In the discussion, Gen.
Grant had proposed that no
parklands be violated by Route
240. that expressways around
the city be built before the
of bringing Route 240
traffic into the city is decided. |
and that results of the current |
mass transit survey be awaited
before a decision is made.
2. Supported a five-point
