Ex-Airmon Is Sought
In $500 Bank HoIdup

An ex-Air Force sergeant,
who is a former University of
Maryland student, is being
sought by the FBI in the rob-
berry of an Atlanta, (Ga.) bank.
He is identified as John R.
Merit, %, who was discharged
from the Air Force last fall
after serving at the Pentagon.
The bank, branch of the
Trust Company of Georgia.
was robbed of about $500
last Monday by bandit who
escaped amid confusion caused
by a fire in a nearby drug
store, the FBI said.
Merit, who at different times
lived in Fairfax County and
in Silver Spring, Md, took
journalism courses at Mary
land after his military dis
charge.
The FBI has warrant
charging him with bank rob-
berry.

Last Rain April 6
There has been no rain in
nearby Maryland since approx
mately one-tenth of an inch
was recorded on April 6.
In st. Marys County yester-
day, seven fire companies re-
sponded to a general alarm
when fire swept 4 acres of
woodland and 40 acres of
meadow grass. An old barn was
destroyed by the flames, which
forest officials said probably
were touched off by discarded
cigarette.
In nearby Virginia, the dry
weather was held responsible
for q brush fires in Fairfax
County yesterday, plus a dozen
in other parts of the area.
State fire wardens in Fairfax
have urged that trash burning
be curtailed for the duration

Owners Offer
Land, Seek
New Zoninq

Landowners in the Upper
Rock Greek watershed have Of
fered to donate land for parks
and schools in exchange for a
new type of coming for the area
that would permit smaller lots.
Jesse F. Nicholson, executive
director of the Maryland-Na
tional Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, said the
planners are interested in the
offer because the cost of land
for parks and schools is "ex-
ceSsively high" in the county.
The new type of proposed
zoning would involve an aver
age density classification that
would permit small lots to be
balanced against open space.
I'm the final analysis, you'd
still have your open space" Mr..
Nicholson said. He. noted that
such zoning would require
amendment of the county's
zoning law and would hold up
final approval of the watershed
master plan.
The plan, discussed at two
public hearings, calls for q
acre zoning for a sizable area
north of Rockville and for
1900 acres of parks.
A number of the landowners
have said they want to develop
the land into smaller lots. The
planners have held up action
on the plan pending discussions
with the landowners on avail
ability of park lands.
Both planners and the land
owners have claimed that no
trade of park land for smaller
lots was involved.
Mr.. Nicholson said most of
the $50 persons, who attended
a meeting Thursday night with
the county planning board in
dicated they favor the average
lot zoning idea and the dona-
ton of land for parks and
schools.

Boy Fatally Injured
When Hit by Ball Bat

The flare-up of a school,
girls temper led to the acci-
dental death of a 9-year-old
boy struck by a baseball bat in
Prince Frederick, Calvert Coun-
ty, Md, State police report.
The victim, Gregory Nc
Gaughey, of Dares Beach, died
yesterday in Bethesda Naval
Hospital from injuries suffered
after he was struck in the side
and head Tuesday during a re-
cess at Prince Frederick Ele-
mentary School, police said.
The boy was hit by a 9-year-
old girl who apparently ION the
spur of the moment lost her
temper" according to police.
There probably will be no
charges filed against her,
Trooper Joseph Kobleur said.
He said witnesses to the in
cident, all children, gave two
versions of what happened.
One was that while running
to first base. the boy threw
his bat and it struck the girl.

Tax Alliance
Urges Cut in
Fuirfux Rute

The Fairfax County Taxpayers
Alliance called last night for a
reduction int the county's $3.75
property tax rate.
The alliance, at its annual
meeting on the proposed budget
for the new fiscal year, said it
vigorously opposes" the pro-
posed $3.50 tax rate called for
in the 1960-61 budget.
The proposed budget totals
$58.6 million but the Board of
County Supervisors has not yet
begun its traditional budget
cutting. This will come later in
the month, after public hear
ings are held. The budget is to
go into effect July /.
The alliance said county rev.
enues will increase IA per cent
in the new fiscal year and
noted that population increases
in the last few years have been
only S to 8 per cent.
Annexation by areas that are
not proposing tax increases is
becoming increasingly attrac-
tive" the alliance said. This was
a reference to proposed annexa-
ton by the cities of Falls
Church and Alexandria. Both
have indicated a desire to take
some of Fairfax County's big
gest tax-producing areas.
The alliance named a COM
mittee to study the proposed
$26 million school bond issue.
The Board of Supervisors has
agreed to the issue and will ask
the Circuit Court to set a date
for a referendum.
The bond issue is aimed at
providing for 10000 school chill
dren by 1864. The present en-
rollment is q little more than

ginia's tourist business. He
argued that tourists, who spend
about 100000 a year in Vir-
ginia, come from States with
sales taxes and expect to pay
a sales tax here.
A sales tax, he said, would
relieve Virginians of some OF
the tax burden. 1t also would
place a part of the burden or

Eastern Virginia, thousands OF

Interchange
At 9th and T
Now Studied

Preliminary plans for a
Northwest interchange con-
Meeting the new Route 24O and
the proposed Inner Loop would
place the link-up near Griffith
Stadium.
District Highway Director
Harold L. Aitken said a firm
decision on the location has
not yet been made, but strong
consideration is being given to
a location near Eighth and T
streets NV.
Plans will have to be sub
mitted by August to the Bu-
reau Of Public Roads showing
a preliminary route for Route
240, also known as Interstate
Route 70-S. for purposes of
budgeting funds. The bureau
has instructed District high
way officials the route should
follow the Wisconsin avenue
corridor.
The route then would cross
Rock Creek Park and continue
eastward on Irving street, cut
ting south in the vicinity of
Georgia avenue until it con-
meets with the Inner Loop.
A north leg of the Inner
Loop is planned near T street
and a center leg is now being
planned to curve westward to
tie in at the proposed inter-
change. Earlier, District high
way officials had considered
another interchange near New
Jersey avenue and @ street
NV. Under the new plan this
second interchange would be
eliminated.
Should the highway plan
ners finally decide to place the
big interchange at Eighth and
T streets, the Redevelopment
Land Agency would be able to
move forward on plans for re-
habilitating a seven-block Sec
tion in the area of Thirteenth
and T streets NV.
These plans are being held
up pending the highway de-
cision. Earlier proposals had
called for the big interchange

white and Negro, for transfer
or assignment. 1t is based in
part on the Norfolk plan, under
which about two dozen Negroes
have been admitted to previ-
ously all-white schools.
The school board had been
ordered by Judge Hoffman to
submit a plain after he en-
joined it last year from discrim-
mating on the basis of race in
making school assignments. The
Injunction was issued on be-
half of attorneys for 10 Negro
children.
The plan was presented yes

Negro Attorneys Object
Oliver w. Hill and Spotts-
wood w. Robinson III, attor-
neys for the Negro children,
objected to the plan. They said
1t would result in large num-
hers of pupils being frozen"
in the same schools they have

tion was denied by counsel for
the school board, and Judge
Hoffman said he didn't think
such freezing" would result.
Mr.. Robinson said the Su-
preme Courts 1854 integration
decision gives pupils an inher-

placed some obligation on the
committee to consider salary
legislation this year.
A spokesman for Senator
Frear, chairman of the sub
committee which would con-
slider the measure, said the
Delaware Democrat has nc
plans now to hold hearings on
any pay raise legislation. But
the senator is expected to look
at the situation again once he
return to Washington on Tues
day.
May Take Time
There is a possibility that
final agreement between Mr.,
Lowe and DR.. Hansen may take
considerable time. Any prog
ress at all next week is unlike
ly since the superintendent
will be out of town on vacation.
The two, in fact may never be
able to agree on a compromise
figure.
Should there still be consid-
cradle delay before the Com
misSioners send any recon-
mendation to Congress, Sena-
tor Frear could decide to hold
hearings Immediately on teach
-er pay legislation already in
troduced by Senators Beall,
Republican of Maryland, and
Morse, Democrat Of Oregon
Their proposal would cost
about $11 million annually.
Such hearings could be used
to force the Commissioners to
state their own views and
recommendations about pay
raises for school personnel.
At his press conference yes
terday morning, DR.. Hansen
stressed the urgent need for
the pay raises and criticized
the Commissioners for failing
to assume leadership in pro-
viding Washington with a
model school system.
Evening star., 1960-04-16

Carl F. Hansen had sharply
criticized the Commissioners
for not acting on the $50 mil
lion raises approved in January
by the Board of Education.
Although Schuyler Lowe,
director of general administra-
ton. would not reveal Just how
much Of a raise his Office was
recommending, the figure is
sure to be much lower than
that approved by the board.
Counter Proposal
The boards recommendation
has been thoroughly studied,
Mr.. Mclaughlin said, and Mr..
Lowe has now drawn up what
amounts to a counter-proposal.
This will be forwarded to DR..
Hansen either today or early
next week.
This counter-proposal docs
involve an increase in pay" Mr..
Mclaughlin said. It will be
up to the superintendent to
reveal any of its details.
According to the Commits
sioner, the procedure now will
be for DR.. Hansen and Mr..
Lowe to come to an under
standing on a pay recommen-
dation. This figure will then be
presented to the Commissioners
for their approval and, subse-
quently, it will be sent to Con-
gress for final action.
With Congress planning an
early adjournment this elec-
ton year, the Senate District
Committee is believed to hold
the key as to whether any pay
legislation can get final pas
sage this session.
The committee chairman,
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, last year held up ap-
proval of a House-passed bill
granting extra-duty pay to
coaches and certain teachers

it along with a general pay
boost for school personnel.

5 Companies Seek

RIA Extends
DeudIine for
Applications

Three major oil companies, q
leading Washington builder and
an investm ent firm have
notified the District Redevelop-
ment Land Agency they are in
terested in developing the GEN.
trail section of the Maine ave.
nue. waterfront.
John r. Searles, jr.. RIA
director, said that because the
deadline for submission of ap-
plications fell on Good Friday,
any additional applications re-
ceived by Monday also would
be considered.
The applications received as
of yesterday were from:
ESQ Standard OIL Co., with
Clas & Riggs Of Washington
as their architects.
Phillips Petroleum Co., no
architect named.
Charles H. Tompkins Co.,
Washington builders, in asso-
citation with Harry A. Swagart,
sr.. president of the Washing
ton Garage, Inc, and Metro
politan Parking, Inc. Clas &

Investor Service, Inc, with
and the architectural firm Of
Brown & Wright, both of
Washington.
SeafOOd Group
The Municipal Market Sea-
food Association, in association
with the Sinclair Oil Co., no
architect named.
The central portion of the
waterfront for which the Land
Agency is seeking q developer
lies between G and N streets
S.W. and has a shore frontage
on the Washington Channel Of
about 1000 feet.
Preliminary plans call for
development of this area into
a marine service and recrea-
ton center with restaurants,
marine stores and fish mar
kets. 1t is estimated the de-
velopment will cost between
SIS million and $40 million,
including construction of $500
parking spaces under the new
Maine avenue.
Mr.. Searles, who said he was
delighted at the widespread in
terest in the area, explained
the staff first would screen
those applications already re-
ceived and any others, that
come in by Monday. Some ap-
plicantS probably will be asked
to furnish additional informa-
ton, such as the name of the
architectural firm they would
hire and a statement of the
developers financial position.
May Require Run OF
Applicants then will be asked
to present their proposal for
developing waterfront to the
RIA board. These interviews
will be held individually and
will be public, Mr.. Searles said.
IF we have two or three
proposals that are pretty close,
we may have a runoff," the

consist of a competition based
on design. We would ask the
