Court Backs
CheWChose
Store Site

The Montgomery County Cir
cult Court yesterday upheld
rezoning Of a Chevy Chase site
to permit construction of a de-
partment store by Saks Fifth
Avenue.
Judge Kathryn L. Shook ruled
that the Montgomery County
Council had shown sufficient
reason to justify the rezoningl
from residential to commercial.l
The councils decision, made
earlier this year, had been ap-'
pealed to the court by the town.
of Somerset which argued that
commercial development of the
property would adversely affect
nearby residential areas.
The site, a 32,000-square foot
tract on Wisconsin avenue near
Montgomery street, has been
the subject of controversy ever
since the New York department
store chain indicated last year
it was interested in locating in
suburban Maryland.
The neighborhood has al
ways presented a coming prob

She also observed that near

cluding the Chevy Chase Shop

lor department stores. had sub
stantially altered the character
of the neighborhood since 1927
when the neighborhood was
predominantly residential.
Attorney r. Robert LinowesS

Somerset which filed the court
suit, said today the decision
would be reviewed and that it

If the highway proposals are
turned down -, especially the
ultimate proposal for a four
lane parkway through Glover
Archbold Park District high
way officials have served no
tice they may be forced to
back a freeway along the Wis
consin avenue corridor through
highly valuable properties.
At a public hearing yester-
day that ran for more than
five hours, the Commissioners
heard a full range of argu-
ments - with a nearly solid
stand by citizens In opposition
to the highway projects.
What the Commissioners
must decide is whether to build
the Three Sisters Island bridge
The eight-lane span is planned
for construction one-half mile
upstream from Key Bridge.
1t would carry traffic from
Interstate Route Sc, which is
to be brought across Northern
Virginia, into the District by
way of a proposed eight-lane
Potomac River freeway con-
Meeting with the west leg OF
the Inner Loop and the K street
expresSway. The freeway would
involve an elevated twin to the
existing Whitehurst freeway.
$26 Million
Total cost of the bridge and
freeway projects is $26 million
with 80 per cent to be paid
by Federal interstate highway
funds.
Plans also include two one
lane roadways connecting the
Three Sisters bridge with Res
ervoir road. These would rur
through part of the Glover
Archbold Park and, highway of
ficials testified yesterday
would later be expanded into
a four-lane parkway from the
bridge northward through the
park to Tenley circle at upper
Wisconsin avenue.

New requirements for Wash

have been adopted by the Com
missioners.
In approving the new regula-
tions yesterday, the Commits
sioners apparently aimed at a
middle course on the controver-
sial question.
Police officials had urged
the Commissioners to continue

corridor. The same route is
favored by the National Capt.
tai Planning Commission.
May Force Route
According to Douglas S.
Brinkley, the Districts chief
highway planner, officials feel
that if the Glover-Archbold
parkway cannot be built, then
traffic pressures" may force
construction of the Wisconsin
avenue route.
Under the highway depart
ment's planning, the Glover
Archbold parkway, limited to
passenger vehicles only, would
feed into the Potomac River
freeway at an interchange at
approach to the Three Sisters
Island bridge.
However, this construction
would have to await expiration
of a five-year freeze Congress
has imposed on any Glover
Archbold parkway wider than
two lanes. The freeze, which
also bans construction of q
freeway in the Wisconsin ave-
nue. corridor, expires in mid
1865.
Mr.. Brinkley said that upon
expiration of the freeze the
highway department will
recommend construction of the
four-lane parkway through
Glover Archbold.
At yesterdays public hear
ing the opposition to the park
way through Glover-Archbolc
centered on the loss of natural
park setting that witnesses
said would result.
Another Choice Urged
Conrad L. Wirth, Nationa
Park Service director, informed
the Commissioners in a letter
that he is opposed to any
multi-lane parkway, since il
would be a "freeway type o.
road" which would destroy
Glover-Archbold park.
If a bridge and roadway arr
needed to serve Northwest, Mr.
Wirth said, then the Tree Sis
ters Island site should be aban
doned and another site choSel
which would not harm tn
park.
Mr.. Wirth added that tn
park service expects to be re
imbursed with additional lant

A 100 POUND TURKEY!
Fascinating. Something for a
pit barbecue.
Early in this century we
would read that some turkey
grower would send an out
size 35-pound turkey to the
White House for a Thanks
giving dinner.
Anything above 20 pounds
was a real big turkey. We
kids would compare notes
Thanksgiving morning on
the size of the turkeys slowly
roasting in the oven at
home. We all said we had
turkeys a bit over 20 pounds.
We were all lying. Turkeys
cost about as much then as
they do now. But 80 cents a
pound was the price of the
best beefsteak.
Oh well, it's a wonderful
bird, whether it's the wild
turkey weighing no more
than IS pounds or one of the
late 10th century jumbos.
The early European arrival
found turkeys and tobacco
and I'll take turkeys every
time.
SO, happy Thanksgiving
and If you haven't had it yet,
I hope you will have it soon

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!
Yesterday, a beautiful,
blue-sky, sunny, cold, won-
derful day, the Rambler con-
sidered writing all the things
for which he is thankful.
That would be quite a list
so long it would be boring.
Let's let it go at this: He's
glad he's alive.
His eye lit on a headline
in the Wall Street Journal.
1t reads:
There's a New Trend in
Turkey: One Will Feed a
Crowd of U.s."
Beneath this suggestion of
the renewal of the miracle
of the loaves and fishes was
the report under an unfa-
miliar dateline, Gray Sum-
NIT, Mo, by a staff reporter
named James c. Tanner.
Mr.. Tanner reported that
turkeys weighing so pounds
were strutting around a TOO
acre hillside research farm
near Gray Summit, owned
and operated by Ralston
Purina, the big feed firm.
Any one of the near oStrichS,
he said, would be good for Is
turkey dinners.

DC. Eases Regulations
On Stamping Liquor

The new regulations, effec-
tive December l, require that
bottles sold individually carry
the dealer Identification stamp.
This marking will be on thJ
label, unless the bottle is in =
sealed container. In this case,
the dealer will stamp the conI
tainer.
Exempted, at the suggestion
of commissioner John B. Dun
can, are bottles purchased by
the retailer in holiday gift
wrappings.
The new regulations do not
require the stamp when the
liquor is sold by the case in
sealed containers. The reason
ing here is that these cases
carry identifying m arkings
from the wholesaler.
The new requirem e n t 3
dropped the 24-hour provision,
and instead called d for the
stamping before the liquor is
sold or put on display.
The question of whether to
continue, amend or drop tho
identification requirements
came before the Commission
ers as a result of a bill passed
by Congress that eliminated
the liquor tax stamp system
IN favor OLA reporting system.
Crime Clues Cited
At a Commissioners hearing
last week, Police Chief Robert
V. Murray cited about 80 cases
of serious crimes where. he
said, the dealer markings had
provided helpful clues.
Spokesman for the liquor
dealers, on the other hand,
argued strongly against con-
tinuation of this requirement,
testifying that in the last five
years it has meant 81 million
in labor costs.
William N. Mcleod, ir., chief
clerk of the House District
Committee, told the Commits
sioners it was the intention of
the committee that the city not
continue the stamping require
ment.
What the committee did
want, Mr.. Mcleod said, was
that the Commissioners retain
the authority to require the
Identification markings. but
that they not require them
until it is clear that such action
actually is needed. y

ALL THIS was very puz-

understood that the current
trend in turkey was to keep
the weight down so that they
could be put in an apart
ment house oven.
He telephoned the Agri-
cultural Research Center at
Beltsville, where the white
double breasted 10 = pound
turkey was bred. He reached
the head of the poultry di-
vision, DR.. S. c. King.
Fifty pounds? echoed DR..

that weighed 10 pounds.

They'll soon have them
up to 100 pounds"
Not here. We devoted
ourselves to producing a tur-
key for the home, for the
small oven.
These big turkeys are for
restaurants and hotels and
the food professors produc-
ing turkey pies.
Breeding these whoppers
is more a matter of genetics
than diet, although the feed
is important.
THE breeders select over
size toms and hens for mat
ing. 1t isn't as simple as
that. These big birds do not
produce as many chicks as
normal turkeys. 1t will take
a little time.
Turkeys are in over-sup-
ply as you may have noticed.
Prices for the holiday have
lowered a little over 80 cents
a pound. Almost 400 million
pounds of frozen turkeys
we're reported in storage last
week. Next month the De-
partment of Agriculture will
conduct regional hearings as
to whether there should be
a market order limiting the
production of turkeys.
"One of the hopes of the
industry isthe frozen turkey
roll. 1t is already on the
market in small numbers. 1t
is a pound or 2-pound roll
of turkey white meat, dark
meat, fat and chopped glib
let's - everything. You can
slice and cook it as a outlet,
broil it or roast it whole.
