BALTIMORE, Aug. 90. -
Democratic Boss James H.
(Jack) Pollack took the stand
today in a case that has State
wide political implications, but
he only got a chance to give his
occupation.
Mr.. Pollock was called to
testify in a case challenging
the nomination of Francis J.
Vale for States Attorney.
He was called by Lyman
PresSman, one of the attorneys
protesting the nomination,
which was made at a hastily
called meeting of the city Dem
ocratic committee on August
10.
Mr.. FRESHMAN asked Mr.. Pol
lack his occupation and Mr..
Pollock responded, Insurance. I"
Mr.. FRESHMAN tried to ask
the northwest Baltimore po-
litical leader about a meeting
Mr.. Pollack allegedly had with
committee members on August
IL, but Judge Emory H. Niles
ruled that he would not hear
any testimony involving the
Vaccinations of Baltimore po-
litical factions.
Testimony on Meeting
The Judge said he only
wanted testimony on whether
a quorum was present at the
August Is meeting, whether the
city committee was the proper
body to select the candidate
and whether proper notice of
the meeting was given.
Mr.. Pollack, who is inclined
to make long statements at the
drop of a hat, was told when
he stepped down from the stand
that he may get another
chance later to testify.
Earlier Patrick ODoherty, at
torney for eight members of the
embattled city Democratic COM
mittee, declared that the court
should not interfere in the
nomination because it was a

one from occurring"
Mr.. Cahoon pledged that the
county will undertake an i'm
mediate program of testing all
existing wells" and will employ
necessary personnel to comply
with State law requiring that
each new we'll be inspected at
least twice.
Whenever any pollution is
detected, he said. the county
will work with the owner to
eliminate it, he said.
Will Follow Peoples
Mr.. Cohoon also reported
that the council plans to adopt
major recommendations made
by DR.. Peoples.
These include enactment Of
. an ordinance to force drilling
of wells before houses are built
and use Of stricter criteria in
approving new subdivisions.
After reviewing the report
(by DR.. Peoples, we are con-
cerned about any administra-
tive gaps and any weaknesses
in our regulations. We are
acting to correct any of them"
DR.. Peoples yesterday indi-
Gated he favors an even more
stringent regulation that the
State is proposing.
"Half-acre lot size for resi-
Dental development without
public utilities is not adequate"
he told the council.
Additionally, Mont e merry
County, on its own, recently
adopted an ordinance requiring
lots of an acre or more for
homes in subdivisions having so
or more houses, If wells and
septic systems are involved.
But requirements elsewhere
in the State generally are much
more lax.

Court Hears Vale Case

political dispute outside the
courts domain.
Before a packed court
room yesterday. Mr.. ODoherty
charged that the forces of Gov.
TaweS. led by the Governors
close friend and adviser, George
H. Hooker, tried to stop the
nomination of Mr.. Vale be-
cause the latter was allied with
Mr.. Pollock.
Sweeney Challenged
He also claimed that Assist
ant Attorney General Robert
Sweeney, who is one of the
attorneys trying to upset the
nomination, was himself men,
toned as a possible candidate
for Baltimore States attorney
after the death of the incum-
bent, Saul A. Harris.
After the close Of yesterdays
court session, Mr.. Sweeney and
Mr.. O'Doherty got into a heated
argument over Mr.. Pollock.
With their faces a few inches
from each others across the
counsel table. Mr.. O'Doherty
declared:
Il don't look on Jack Pollack
as any different than Gov.
TaWes, they're both politicians"
Then you are in bad shape"
responded Mr.. Sweeney.
Harsh Words Pass
During the hearing earlier,
the two attorneys exchanged
harsh words and Mrs. Sweeney
sat glowering at Mr.. O'Doherty
most of the afternoon.
The nomination of Mr.. Vale,
who was selected at the same
moment that Mr.. Harris was
being lowered into his grave
August 10. is being attacked on
the grounds that two members

The Maryland Health Depart
ment is preparing to restrict
future residential development
of land not linked to public
water and sewers.
Regulations now being drafted
would require that in new sub
divisions of so or more houses,
each home be built on a lot
at least l acre in size unless
public utilities will be available
within five years.
Robert M. Brown, director
of the departments bureau of
environmental hygiene, said
the objective is to limit use
of private wells and septic
systems in more densely popu-
lated areas.
| He reported that the proposed
restrictions which have beer
under preparation for several
m onths have encountered
rather strenuous objections
from some areas and some in
tereSts."
Considered Necessary
But the State considers them
necessary because of widespread
difficulties caused by wells and
septic systems.
Such difficulties are being
experienced in Montgomery
County where tests of ALB
private wells during the last
fiscal year showed that lat, or
more than one-third, were pol
luted.
Re-tests of ia of the wells
showed that SO were contami-
mated.
Reporting to the County
Council yesterday, Health
Director William j. Peoples
emphasized his opinion that
the situation revealed by the
tests does not constitute an
emergency or menace to health.

Virginia Negro Named
Assistant u. S. Attorney

A 36-year-old Norfolk (Va.)
Negro is about to become the
first of his race to serve in
recent years as an assistant
United States attorney in Vir-
ginia.
The appointment of William
T. Mason, jr., was approved this
week by John r. Reilly, head
of the Justice Departments ex-
ecutive office of United States
attorneys.
Both local support in Norfolh
and the known position of the

Park Service
Ban on Buses
Stirs Storm

Transit officials last night
locked bumpers with the Ma
tional Park Service as they dis
closed that the agency plans to
keep buses off Memorial Bridge.
AS the bridge issue boiled up.
Arlington County Board mem
bers termed ridiculous" and
absurd" the Park Service posi-
ton barring Arnold Bus Lines
from taking passengers over
the George Washington Me-
mortal parkway en- route to
Dulles International Airport.
Arnold Lines plans to send a
bus over the parkway tomor-
row in hopes of a court test.
The Park Service has notified
the Alexandria, Bancroft and
Washington Bus Co. that buses
will be ordered off Memorial
Bridge after the Theodore
Roosevelt Bridge is completed
in 1864.
The move would badly
cripple service for 5000 COM
muters a day, according to
Robert T. Mitchell, AB&W
executive vice president.
Mr.. Mitchell said his buses
could not use Roosevelt Bridge
because ramp connections on
the Virginia side would not
permit buses to serve South
Arlington County.
The AB&W operates about
500 bus trips one way across
Memorial in rush hours, carry
ing almost 10000 passengers to
the Government complex along
Constitution avenue. If kept off
Memorial, Mr.. Mitchell said
the buses would have to use
the Fourteenth Street Bridge.
The company official said the
Park Service told his firm that
bus service over Memorial was
prohibited by law.
But the Washington Metro
/ politan Transit Commission,
Mr.. Mitchell said, found that
the Park Service based its po-
sition on a press statement of
President Eisenhower eight
years ago. That was when Pres
ident Eisenhower signed the bill
for the Roosevelt Bridge site.
Meanwhile, Arlington County
Board members took the Park
Service to task yesterday on
the parkway hassle.
They said it was silly to per-
nit some buses on the parkway
while not allowing Arnold to
use the road for trips to Dulles
International.
Board Member Roye Lowry
declared "a bus is a bus" in
noting that buses are allowed
to go as far as the Central In
telligence Agency.
'It is ridiculous to force the
buses off the highway onto oul
streets. People who ride buses
have as much right to look a.
scenery as people who driv'
cars"
But Orren Beatty, assistant tt
Secretary of the Interior Udall
. was unimpressed:
There probably would hav
been no controversy at all i
: the board would have acted Of
; Route Sc. 1t provides a direc
route to Dulles. All they hav
to do is agree" he said.
Mr.. Beatty said "it's an estab
lished principle that parkway
are not designed for bus O
truck travel" Besides, he said
"the controversy isn't an Ar
lington County matter in tht
first place. It's the area beyond
Arlington that is affected.
Dulles is in Fairfax County.

Padding against a strong
bureaucratic current, two real
estate men had been about
holding their own in a battle
over some lots at the bottom
of the Anacostia River.
But now the efforts of Harold
F. Kenny and John H. Miller,
jr. to build a restaurant on
piers over the river have been
dealt a sharp setback by the
Districts legal office.
The riverbottom lots, seven
of which apparently hold the
key to the restaurant project,
are off Buzzard Point. They
are under water, but are shown
on city records as taxable real
estate.
The underwater struggle by
the two men had not been eased
by the fact that the restaurant
site they had in mind not only
is at the bottom of the Ana
costa, but also is partially &C.
cupied.
Hold Title to Six
The seven lots lie between a
river bottom extension of Water
street and the pierhead line,
which is the cutoff point for
any construction out over the
river. According to Mr.. Kenny,
the two men have six of the
lots and expectations of a bust
ness deal with the owner of the
seventh.
Piers from the Buzzard Point
Boat Yard, owned by the Ma
tional Park Service and leased
to private operators, extend,
however, over the underwater
real estate.
Earlier this year, Mr.. Kenny
asked the Districts surveyor
office to survey the seven lots,
He was informed by the office
that it lacked the equipment to
make an underwater survey.
Undaunted, Mr.. Kenny filed
an application for a survey OF
the Water street riverbottom
extension. The object of this
move was to establish an ac-
cess, by way of Water street, tc
the block of lots, which lack q
surface approach.
Denied Access
1t was at about this point
that the two men hit stormy
weather. In order for a sur
veyor to fix the points on the
Water street extension, the sur.
veyor must work from the
boatyard piers. But, the boat
yard operators said no.

his only statement would be
that rules of the American Con-
