A controversial annexation
bill was a factor in the vote on
presidential electors. The Rich
mond delegation has been in a
struggle with county legislators
over a Senate-passed bill that
would declare a flve-year mora
torium on annexation.
Three members of the Rich
mond delegation said they had
picked up an 18-vote bloc to
oppose the annexation measure
in return for a reversal of the
Richmond delegation vote for
the presidential electors legis-
lation.
The electors were designed to
give conservative Democrats an
opportunity to vote for electors
to their liking If they do not
want to support those COM
mitted to the candidates of
the national Democratic and
Republican parties.
Under the measures, an extra
set Of electors, not committed
to a party, would be shown in

Bottle Plant
In nCounty

Montgomery County planners
have voted against a pro-
posed Coca-Cola bottling plant
which has stirred widespread
opposition among Hillandale
area residents.
The County Planning Board,
in a 3-to-2 vote, yesterday up
held a technical staff recon-
mendation that industrial zon-
ing for the plant site be denied.
The staff said the reZoning
would be contrary to the gen
eral plan Of the area"
A public hearing on the soft
drink firms request for light
industrial zoning on an 8.5-
acre tract at Avenel and Mount
Pisgah Church roads was held
by the county council on Feb
ruary II. About 300 members
of civic groups appeared in op-
position.
Donald e. Gingery, who
favored the rezoning, said the
proposed site is "a very logical
place for that type of industry" ="
He noted that the property is
bordered on the north by the
right of way for the circum-
ferential highway.
John A. Floyd, who also IA
vored the rezoning, said the
bottling plant would "have no
adverse impact on the sur
rounding area"
Final action on the request is
expected to be taken by the
county council in two or three
weeks.
In another action, the plan
ming board unanimously recon-
mended approval Of a request
for industrial-park zoning on a
92-acre tract west of Old
Georgetown road and south of
the proposed outer circum-
ferential highway. The tract.
which is near the Luxmanor
area, now is zoned for rural
residential use.
The boards recommenda-
ton, included a provisio that a
strip ITO feet deep on the
southern portion Of the prop
erty remain rural-residential.

RICHMOND, Mar. 4 (AP).-
A watered-down billboards bill
passed the Virginia State Sen

The Senate version does not

were Delegates Dorothy Nc

The measure provides that
anyone driving on Virginia s

New York Democrats can

what they have just done in
Quemoy?
The Western allies do not
appear today to be united on
Far Eastern policy. The
United States bore the brunt
of the resistance to the Com
muniSt invasion of Korea,
even though the fighting was
done in the name of the
United Nations. 1t seems in
credible that. even though the
U. N. passed a resolution
condemning Red China as an
aggressor in Korea, there are
so many governments inside
the U. N. today ready and
willing to reward the aggressor
by ousting the Nationalist
government on Formosa and
giving the China seat in the
U. N. to the Red regime.
The usual argument made
and it has lately been par
roted by the misguided Gen.
Montgomery-is that China
is a fact" So was Nazi Ger
many a fact, but the rest of
the world recognized and car
ried on diplomatic relations
with the Polish government
in exile, the Czech govern
ment in exile, and the Hun
garian government in exile
all these governments being
stationed in London-during
World War II. The Korean
War isn't ended yet. An
armistice has been signed, but
no peace treaty. The terms
Of the armistice are being
repeatedly violated by the
ReQ CnlneSe.
When the appeasers start
talking about recognizing
Red China and when prom
inent Dem ocratS exhibit
friendliness toward the Com
munist regime in Red China,
it is natural that the Pei
ping barbarians should take
a chance and inf1ict a bonn
bardment on the civilian
population of the Quemoy
Islands. Maybe they think
that, If the Eisenhower ad-
ministration is replaced by
a Democratic administration
next January, there will be
a tendency to "let bygones
be bygones." The Commu-
nistS must wonder If the
West is really as dedicated
to the principles Of human
ity as it processes to be.
