Maryland's Gov. TaWes said

apportionment of members of
the House of Delegates so that
the big suburban counties get
greater representation.
He refused. however, to COM
ment on a plan for reappor-

The proposed reapportion-
ment formula would give Mont
gomery, Prince Georges, Anne
Arundel and Baltimore Counties
more representation in the
lower House since they exceed
100000 population.
Gov. Tawes, who was ques-
toned about the plan by re-
porters when he attended a
luncheon at the Almas Temple
Shrine here, said he was
neither approving nor disap-
proving it at the moment" He
said he sent the proposal on
to the Legislative Council for
further study.
Gov. Tawes said he recog-

but, he added, he is not sure
the proposed plan is the
answer.
He said the plan is at least
a starting point from which to
go ahead and devise some kind
of satisfactory solution. II

change" the Governor stated.
Under the commissions plan,
Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties would each
get two new delegates in ad-
dition to the six now allotted
to them. Anne Arundel would
get a single additional dele
gate and Baltimore County
would get three more.

Thompson Scores
Park Road Plans
Sees Recreation
Value Ruined at
GIover-ArchboId

The head of National Capital
Parks has declared that plans
for a road through Glover
Archbold Park would destroy
the recreational value of the
park.
In a deposition filed yester-
day in District Court, Parks
Supt. Harry Thompson asserted
that plans submitted by the
District show that so per cent
of the total acreage would be
graded.
He said all but 80 feet of the
parks 1890 feet of stream bed
would have to be relocated or
changed in some way. He added
that construction of the four
lane. dual highway also would
require grading or filling on 81
per cent Of the land from Mas
sachusetts to New Mexico ave-
nues, and alterations in rs per
cent of the area between Massa-
chusetts and Cathedral avenues.
This would make the rest
Of it very difficult. If not i'm
possible, to develop" Mr..
Thompson said.
194S Agreement Cited
He described the plans were
not satisfactory to him and do
not conform to a 1948 agree
bent. This pact, which was
entered into between National
Capital Parks and the District,
would allow the District to
build a highway through the
park, but the parks agency con-
tends it was given veto power
over any plans.
The deposition was con-
tanned in an answer filed to a
suit brought by Mrs. Anne
Archbold and Charles C. Glow
er. jr.
They are seeking to prevent
the District from going through
with plans for the highway.
They are contending that the
highway program would violate
terms under which the acreage
was dedicated to the Govern
ment.
No Dispute With Suit
In its answer, the Govern
ment said it never construed
the agreement as allowing a
high-Speed highway in excess
of four lanes.
But it denied constituting the
agreement as precluding a prop
erly designed scenic parkway
which would move traffic with
out substantially" interfering
with the park.
At another point, the Gov
ernment's answer said it has
not dispute with the suit.
The District Highway De-
partment contends that al
though extensive grading would
be required, the parkway would
beautify and not destroy the
park.

They were properly impressed
by the $8.5 million project with

To blend with the natural
