Foirfox Inland Route
May Salvage Parkway

Proposed extension of the
George Washington Memorial
parkway beyond Cabin John
Bridge has been given new life
by the chairman of the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission.
Harland Bartholomew, COM
mission chairman, said last
night the possibility of running
the parkway inland rather than
along the river is still alive.
The Fairfax County Board of
Supervisors Wednesday came
out firmly against extending the
parkway along the river from
the bridge to Great Falls.
A group of supervisors re-
Gently took a stroll along the
land in question to get a first
hand view of the Palisades.
Rough Topography
Mr.. Bartholomew noted last
night that the topography gets
very rough up that way"
A parkway through that area
would be nothing but cuts and
fills" Mr.. Bartholomew said,
adding that apparently that
was what Fairfax authorities
were worried about.
Mr.. Bartholomew compli-
mented the supervisors on their
stand to preserve the scenic
beauty of the Palisades and
added that their suggestion for
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-02-27

rezoning to preserve this beau
ty was very interesting"
He said discussions would still
go on with the Fairfax super
visors in hopes that a solution
can be reached.
Threat to Parks Seen
Il think we can ultimately
work it out" Mr.. Bartholomew
said.
Supervisor William H. Moss,
during passage of the Wednes-
day resolution, noted that IF
we join in this parkway pro-
gram) to the tune of 81 million
or So million we forgo any park
program for many years to
come"
Supervisor Anne Wilkins op-
posed the resolution, asserting
that the county should go along
with the parkway extension for
the good of the area and the
Nation.
The supervisors action does
not effect the plan to acquire
jointly with Federal agencies
about 900 acres of land at
Great Falls at a total cost of
81 million.
The 900 acres run along the
Potomac from the mouth of
Difficult Run past Great Falls
to the Government Dam just
above the falls. Fairfax Coun-
tvs share in this would be 116
acres of land valued at 100000.

there is also need to establish

Bethesda civic and business

proposed Young Mems Chris
tan Association Bethesda
Chevy Chase Family Center on
Old Georgetown road.
At a hearing conducted by
the Montgomery County Board
of Appeals, YMCA representa-
tives. who have applied for a
special exception permit, said
they hoped to operate a $780,
900 indoor swimming pool, q
softball field and a headquar-
tiers building on a 10-acre tract
in the 9400 block Of Old
Georgetown road.
A previous hearing in the
case was held last October.
Since then, YMCA officials
have removed a possible target
of opposition by replacing a
planned outdoor pool with the
enclosed swimming facility and
by shifting a 188-car parking
area to the center of the prop
erty.
More than 10 area residents
and organization spokesman,
including those from the North
Bethesda Congress of Citizens
Associations and the B-CC

Another hearing to enable
other witnesses to testify will

An earlier bill, drawn by Dele

his county won tentative House
approval yesterday.
State Wide Measure
Mr.. Lowe said he had pre-
pared a Statewide measure be-
cause so many counties have
asked TO be included in the local
bill. He said he did not want
to jeopardize its passage.
The Senate enacted and sent
to Gov. Tawes a bill to divorce
the Peoples Counsel Office from
the Public Service Commission

own for representing the public
in PSC hearings.
The controversial bill to ban
rock fishing in January and
February was buried in the
Chesapeake Bay and Tribu-

vote. Proponents of the bill
backed by sports fishermen, are

2,40O checks with a face value
Of about $l22 million were
cashed during the 15-month

today that since neither Mr..

previous criminal record, and
since restitution had been made
to the two banks, he was sus-
pending a sentence of 20
months to five years for each
of the defendants and placing
them on probation for the

Judge Curran dismissed
charges relating to the check

after explaining that the two

support yesterday from police,

Of experts before the House
Motor Vehicle Committee in
support of the measure.
Mai. Paul Randall of the
Maryland State Police, said the
present observation method of
determining drunkenness was
"crude."
He said drinking drivers are
involved in only 90 per cent
of the total number of accidents

of the fatalities.
Adopted by % States
Twenty-eight States have
legalized the chemical tests and
in four they are compulsory.
Under the Maryland law they
would be given only with the
consent of the driver.
Clarke King, District of
