The Second District Congressman,
quoting from the House Government
Operations Committee report 1875
which pointed to the commencement
of ga determined effort lin 1858 by
Eisenhower Administration to sabo-
tage and wreck the federal power
program" asked the Moss subcommit-

listed as:

full output of Canyon Ferry Dam?
Is Montana Power continuing

Interior carried out the investiga-

upon completion, recommended that

CONSERVATION
Substantially increased the program
of federal aid for construction of
local water pollution control works
(final action held over until next year
because of a veto threat); approved
the bill, which I cosponsored, to in
crease the authorization for research
into the effect of pesticides on fish
and wildlife; appropriated additional
money for forest roads and improve
ments at federal fish hatcheries, in
cluding Creston; Senate passed the
bill, cosponsored by Senators Murray
and Mansfield, to establish a Youth
Conservation Corps, to combat juve-
nile delinquency while benefitting
natural resources youngsters would
work on federal forests, parks, wild
life areas and other conservation
projects and on State-owned lands if
the State pays half the cost; Senate
committee is almost ready to report

the delegation, to give the protection
of law to areas now being admins
tered as wilderness areas (including

Parks, the National Bison Range, Fort
Peck Game Range, Red Rock Lakes
Migratory Waterfowl Refuge and nine
primitive, wilderness and wild areas.
FOR EXPORT ONLY
When my committee was consider
ing ways to keep the highway con-
struction program going at it's pres
ent level, the Administration main
tanned that additional needed money
should not come from general tax
funds, but instead should come from
increased gasoline taxes. When he
vetoed two Public Works Appropria-
tion bills, President Eisenhower said
he did so largely because it included
money for 81 new starts on water re-
source development projects in this
country. He justified his veto of two
UlllS partly Oll SIOuluo DiidC
they included construction loans to
U. S. colleges, bursting at the seams.
At the same time, however, he
was urging expenditure of millions
of tax dollars on roads, bridges,
dams-even college dormitories-
in foreign countries. 1t is strange
how these expenditures at home are
"budget-busters' or pork BARREL
projects, but outside the u. S. they
are for development"

a session that may be interrupted by
Party conventions, we face a formid-
able list of legislative proposals. 1t

ANNAPOLIS. Md, June 10
(APD Some 10000 Maryland
taxpayers still have refunds
coming from their 1858 income
tax payments. Controller Louis
L. Goldstein estimated yester-
day.
Mr.. Goldstein said the State
Income Tax Division has
mailed out about $4,000 re-
funds totaling $50 million to
residents and nonresident tax
payers.
With thousands Of returns
still to be processed. the gross
receipts have already passed
500 million. the first time a
single State tax source has
topped that figure.
Benjamin F. Marsh, chief OF
the Income Tax Division. said
the net receipts. with refunds
deducted. should come close to
the original estimate of 1865
million for the current fiscal
year ending June 30.
Mr.. Goldstein reported the
surplus from all tax sources
will be considerably more than
the $4.448, 900 predicted earlier.
With luck, he said. the rising
revenues will give the General
Assembly a working margin
when it meets next February.

Montgomery
Council Backs
Rezoning Curb

Preliminary approval was
given by the MONTGOMERY
County Council yesterday to a
plan increasing the time limit
between resoning applications.
The proposed coming code
amendment would establish a
three-year waiting period on
certain rezoning applications
after an application has been
rejected for the land.
Council members voted
unanimously to instruct coun-
~ legal aides to prepare an
Official resolution to be voteo
on next week.
Under the present coming
ordinance. a developer whose
rezoning request is denied may
file a new application ID
months after the date OF the
Councils decision.
The new law, however, pro-
vides that alter two Council
decisions under the l8-montn
RUE. land involved in the re-
quests may not be the subject
Of a new application until
three years-uating from the
! time of the last previous filing

Separate Parcels PrOviso
Also included in the ordi-
nance Amendment at the ur-
gent request OF county civic
groups is a proviso that the
,three-year cooling of period
jshall apply to separate parcels
within a larger trac..
The Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission had recommended
that the amendment be written
without any reference to sepa-
rate parcels within a larger
tract. The planners said TINS
section would be unfairly re-
strictive. For example, they
cite a farmer VINO might seek
rezoning of one acre OF a 100
acre tract but would be barred
after two denials or approVals
by the Council - from f''ns
within three years a new appli-
cation Tor tsr loveo acre
in the overall tract.
Council members. noting this
objection, declared that the
amendment would authorize
the Council to waive the three
year-rule in such cases.
Waiting period provisions OF
the new law would apply only
to zoninp applications filed
after last November 80.
Apartment Ban Deferred
The Council deferred until
June 80 action on another zon-
ing law change a measure
prohibiting apartment dwell
ings in commercial zones. The
amendment also involves pro-
posed changes in industrial
zone requirements.
Councilmen said the post
uonement will give the Poto-
mac Valley Chapter of the
American Institute of Archi-
tects time to submit its view on
the proposed amendment.

A Rockville oil truck driver
might just as well join a volun-
teer fire department - he spends
enough time helping to put out
fires.
Julian Clatterbuck, 404 f. Mont
gomery ave-, was making his
rounds in a G. D. Armstrong oil
truck Sunday when he saw smoke
pouring out of the home of Mrs.
Blanch J. Waters, Germantown.
Clatterbuck, Sc, made a run
ming jump from his truck and
found Mrs. Waters inside. She
was alone and had been trying to
call firemen but with little sue
cess because the telephone wires
had already been burned out.
His next move was to tear some
boards away that were in the
path of the spreading flames.
Then he ran next door and asked
neighbors, who hadn't yet noticed
the blaze, to call firemen.
Before Hyattstown and Gal
thersburg fire equipment could
arrive, the oil deliveryman, using
water from the kitchen, had just
about put out the fire.
About two or three years ago,
Clatterbuck summoned firemen
to a burning barn on, a farm near
White Oak where he lived. And
he was near the scene again when
a barn on Hadley's Dairy Farm,
near Gaithersburg, caught fire.
In that one, he led several chill

A film is described as "Obscene"

morals.
was hoping that the Legisla-
ture might enjoy breathing
spell from public morals bills this
year on the basis of its rather
definitive actions in this area dur
ing the two preceding regular
sessions.
In the 1857 session we knocked
down cOvey of Montgomery
County liquor bills and headed
off the introduction of measures
involving Off.track betting, dog
racing, etc.
Then in 1858 we dispatched iai
alai in Anne Arundel County,
gambling casinos in Charles and
st. Mary's Counties, and a race
track bill that had peculiar i'm
plications. The Assembly also re-
iected a motion picture censor
ship bill.
Now, with the 1859 session al
ready nearing the halfway mark,
some of these old chestnuts are
beginning to turn up again.
Some of them do not require
much thought, as far as / am
concerned. l believe that Mary
land should stick with its ancient
horse-racing heritage but should
not allow itself to become the
target of all the out-of-state gam
bling syndicates, who are inter-
ested in slot machines, dog rae
ing. off-track betting, and jai alai.
The liquor problem is not so
simple. l do not think that any
one seriously questions the de-
STABILITY of Montgomery Coun-
tvs dispensary system for the
distribution and control of pack
age goods.
The rub comes with the So
called on-sales. Who shall be EN-.
titled to sell what kind of drinks
to what customers under what
circumstances?
Beer and wine licenses are not
hard to get under present law,
but licenses to serve cocktails,
highballs, etc, are available only
to country clubs and to several
rural restaurants under a grand.
father" clause.
People like to complain about
this bizarre system, but when you
ask them how they would inn
prove it without going all the
way to wide open licensing), they
get tied into knots.
Commercial establishments that
cater to the general public fall
into three general categories: no.
tells, restaurants, and taverns.
Sometimes an effort is made to
establish a fourth division by dis
tinguishing between good" res
taarants and mot so good" res
taurants.
If you license some of these
caterogies and not the others, are
you not doing incalculable eco
nomic harm to those who remain
unlicensed?
The veterans homes and fra
ternal lodges pose a slightly diff
ferent problem. One could argue
that they are more akin to the
country clubs than to the com
mercial places and therefore
should be licensed. The answer
invariably comes back that this
would only be the entering wedge
for a general deterioration.
And, at this point, would like
TO register one personal com
plant. Where were all OF these
proponents of liquor bills last
November when our delegation
was calling for legislative pro.
posals and holding hearings on
them?
Motion Pictures
Another old friend that is back
with us again is the motion pic
ture censorship bill. I include it
in the "public morals" category,
although its motivation is obvi-
ously quite different from some
of the others.
Fl. B. % would direct the State
Board of Censors to license
