Contrubund,
Probe Begun

BALTIMORE, Jan. is (AP) .
State Prison Supt. James w.
Curran has ordered a full police
investigation Of the reported
passing of contraband in Balti-
more to a truSty Of the House
Of Correction in Jessup.
A woman acting for the
Maryland Crime Investigating
Committee was reported to
have passed pint of whisky
and five medicinal inhalers to
the trusty yesterday as a truck
from the prison loaded produce
at a Baltimore market.
The committees managing
director, Alvin j. T. Zumbrun,
said he arranged the trap to
show that more serious contra
band such as marihuana or
heroin could be smuggled into
Maryland prisons. He said the
Notwithstanding mephen-
termine-are used by prisoners
ITO get high on"
Mr.. Zumbrun said the young
woman engaged one of two
TRUSTEES on the truck in con-
versation before passing him a
brown paper bag containing
the whisky and inhalers. Under
instruction from Mr.. Zumbrun,
she then went to a telephone
Immediately and called Supt.
Curran to tell him the contra
band had been passed.
The articles were found on
the truck when it returned to
Jessup and the two prisoners
were segregated until the in

bill to make it unlawful to give
prisoners contraband, which
he hopes will be introduced in

Water Tank
Poses Puzzle
On Zoninq

The Prince Georges County
Commissioners yesterday found
themselves without a category.
The probelm at hand was
how to zone a 0,000-gallon
water tank designed to serve
Belair. the mammoth SUBJ
division on the late William
Woodward's estate near Bowie,
Md. now under construction by
William ]. Levitt & Sons.
T. Hammond Welsh. jr.,
attorney for the developer,
appeared before the commits
sioners in Hyattsville to request
Ia special exception for the
pump house, storage tank and
sewage treatment tanks pro-
posed for q 32-acre Levitt
owned tract. The whole plant is
planned to be leased eventu-
ally to the city of Bowie, or to
another public authority.
Robert B. Matthias, the
boards attorney, pointed out
that there was no precedent
for either an exception. or q
coming category in such an in
stance, because no similar
operation ever had been pro-
posed in Prince Georges.
The commissioners expressed
some doubt that 1t fell in the
province Of a special exception
and suggested that perhaps
the Levitt firm should apply
for a zoning change to either
commercial or industrial.
An hour more Of discussion
finally resulted in a decision by
the board to take the complex
matter under advisement
pending conferences with the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission and the Maryland
Health Department.
In other business, the board
denied an application by the
National Development Corp. to
change the zoning Of five acres
at the corner of Landover road
and John Hanson highway
center.
Cheverly, for a shopping
Representatives Of the town
Of Cheverly and the Cheverly
Manor Citizens Association
opposed the change, main
tanning that there already are
five neighborhood shopping
centers within a four-mile
radius.

Spencer M. Smith. secretary
Of the Citizens Committee on
Natural Resources, said the
project would inundate historic
sites going back to Maryland's S
settlement in 1882, and ground
that has produced proof of hab-
itation 5000 years ago.
Willard E. Brown. exeuctive

otherwise Objectionable utility
Charles C. Wall, director OF
Mount Vernon. said he could
not believe a public body would
destroy the shoreline.
Our visitors today thrill To
the same view that George
Washington and his visitors
had" Mr.. Wall said.
Fifty-one persons spoke either
for themselves or IA organiza-
tions against the project, while
proponents had 10 speakers
with four organizations rep
resented.
New District Urged
Speakers for the Calvert
Manor Association urged legis-
lative creation Of a new sani-
tary district with a plant al
Mattawoman Greek. Landown-
ers would be assessed an over
head sewer tax. Mr.. Mcleod
said this overland route would
require another So million.
William j. Harris, jr., OF
Moyaone Reserve. said orderly
development is the critica
problem. The plant would bring
immediate pressure for high
density and industrial develop
ment since there is no zoning
plan, he said.
Other speakers produced
charts showing how wind direc-
tions in a previous five-yeal
period would have brought sew
age plant odors inland. Several
citizens living near the District
plant at Blue Plains testified
to odors they endure. Mr.. Nc
Leod noted that plant handles
about 240 million gallons a day
Delegate Hervey G. Machen
Democrat Of Prince Georges
said afterwards he would not

The hearing was held by the

Letters from Gov. Tawes and

Maryland to Ratify
DistriictAmendment
Vote Bills Get
Okoy in Both =
House, Senate


Maryland was well on the
way today to becoming the
fourth State to ratify the con-.
stitutional amendment promis-
ing Washington citizens a vote
in national elections.
A proposal to legalize voting
in presidential and vice presi.
Dental elections here was ap-
proved yesterday by both
houses of the Maryland Cen
eral Assembly.
The only action needed now
for formal ratification is for one
house to agree to the wording
of the amendment cleared by
the other.
! Hawaii, Massachusetts, and
New Jersey, in that order, al
ready have ratified.
Others Lining Up
That leaves "a State indorse-
ments required to make the
vote reform a part of the law
of the land. Supporters re-
portedly are making progress
in the Legislatures of New
York, Wisconsin, Washington,
Vermont and West Virginia.
Forty-seven Legislatures meet
in 1861.
At Annapolis, the Maryland
House of Delegates passed the
amendment, 1890. There was
only one dissenting vote in the
Senate. One other Senator de-
clined to vote.
Senator Robert P. Dean,
Democrat of Queen Annes, said
he was against ratification on
the ground that it would lead
to eventual home rule for the
District.
Senator Frank E. Shipley,
Democrat of Howard, declined
to vote with the comment that
he thought "our forefathers
knew what they were doing
when they set the District up
without a vote"
Both Democratic Gov. Tawes
and Republican Senator Beall
of Maryland urged passage.
Speedy Ratification
The measure was speeded as
fast as procedures would allow
through the committees and
floor of the Legislature.
Senator Randolph, Democrat
Of West Virginia, planned to
travel to West Virginia this
week end to consult personally
with State leaders there about
the amendment. AS one Of the
strongest supporters of the
proposal in Congress last year,
Senator Randolph is anxious
that his own State be among
the first to affirm the right
to vote in Washington.
OF the At Legislatures con-
vening in 1861. all but five now
are in session. Nevada will
meet Monday. Due to sit later
are Legislatures of North Car
olina. beginning February 8:
Florida, April 4; Louisiana,
May 8, and Alabama, May Q.
Both nonpartisan and po-
litical efforts to guide the
amendment are being CO.
ordinated in Washington
through the Citizens Commit
tee for a presidential vote,
headed by F. Elwood Davis.

Alexandria 5
Urban Renewal
Plans Don't Keep
Auto in Its Place,
Expert Comments
BY JOHN NEARY
Star stan Writer

Alexandria's urban renewal
planning has been sharply at
tackled by a nationally known
Washington architect.
The city's renewal plan, still
in what its author calls the
concept" stage. doesn't do
enough to keep the automobile
in its place, the architect,
Charles Goodman, said yester-
day.
Pedestrian walkways," said
Mr.. Goodman. designer of
Washington's River Park CO.
operative, would reorient the
city life and create a much
more dynamic place to live"
At this point the plans only
planned pedestrian mall is
shown at King and Pitt streets,
in the heart Of the city's busi-
ness district.
Without more, the Washing
ton architect said, the plan
lacks a "20th century approach
to planning"
Mr.. Goodman accused the
city Of a dangerous uncertainty
about what the area will look
like when it's finished, despite
the good intentions Of planners.
Provisions Cited
"It's all very we'll to have a
bunch Of architects come in
and work up a plan-and then
have developers come in and
do what they damn please" he
said.
Martin Smith, the city's ur-
ban renewal director, and other
top city officials have said con-
tractual provisions would bind
developers to adhering to city
planners ideas.
Mr.. Goodman. however, said
the guarantees should have
been made "in writing" before
planning got to the current
stage.
Without solid guarantees, Mr..
Goodman said. developers might
lure the city away from its
original intentions with high
cash offers for land.
Unless q clear decision Is
made on whether land prices
or design proposals will deter
mine which developer gets re-
newal work, Mr.. Goodman said,
uncertainty "discourages peo-
pie like myself" from partici-
pating in planning.
Mr.. Goodman was among
more than two dozen architects
and engineers invited by Mr..
Smith to discuss ways Of bring
ing architects into the planning
. Denies Readiness
David Rosenthal, an Alexan-
dria architect, asked whether
the plan weren't complete
enough at this point to ask
for specific proposals by de-
velopers.
Mr.. Smith said he felt 1t
still needed further architec-
tural studies, and asked for pro-
fessional comments.
Mr.. Goodman accused Mr.,
Smith Of wanting no more
from the professional men than
surface decorations" to the
concept.
II walk in there and find
the guys got a plan all done,
and wants us to back him up,"
he said afterward, II say nuts
Architecture is planning
not putting decorations on
things without relating them to
their environment"

said.
If the bill is adopted, the

large part Of the risks it now
has assumed. Mr.. Tydings said.
A large part of the premiums

cial is Charles F. Culver, Demo-

House of Delegates, and Mi
chael Birmingham, Democratic

Mr.. Coppage said the Legis-
lative Council had been asked
to support a bill similar to the
one Mr.. Tydings introduced
but it referred the matter tc
the Banking and Insurance
Committee, headed by Mr.
Tydings.
Mr.. Coppage said the bill has
the backing Of the State insur.
ance commissioner. He said Mr.
Tydings' committee has ap-
proved the measure.
