a strong critic of the contro-

slider the case would have g
"very adverse effect" on the
future of the county.
To reopen the zoning case
now, Mr.. Moss said yesterday

blood" and would serve no USE
full purpose since the court!

reversal anyway.
Mr.. Moss was commenting OF
a move by the planning com
mission Thursday night to hole
another public hearing with {
view to coming the 46-acrt

Unless a traffic light and
policeman are posted at an in
tersection in the Palmer Park
area next fall, children will be
kept out of schools in protest,
the Prince Georges County
Commissioners were told yes
terday.
Daniel Berman, who said he
spoke for $50 persons, voiced
the ultimatum at the conclu-
sion of a citizens prote t
against the lack of traffic sig
mails at George N. Palmer high
way and Greenleaf road.
Mr.. Berman, of 1926 Seventy
fifth avenue, Kent Village, said
the need for controls was
pointed up by an accident May
II in which John G. Green
lun, a 14-year-old student at
Kent Junior High School, was
fatally injured when struck by
a car. Police said the boy
moved in front of the car and
the driver was not charged.
Request Produces Nothing
Petitions urging traffic con-
trolls we're signed by 1,789 per-
sons, reported Mr.. Berman, a
lecturer in governme ent at
American University.
Requests to county officials
to get a traffic light "got
nothing even approaching
sympathy" and ended in fail
ure and Illustration, Mr.. Ber-
man added.
He said $50 children use the

He said that if the board of
supervisors should reverse the
action, sit might have a very
adverse effect on the economic
development Of the county"
Investors would feel they
could not depend on the sta
bility of zoning in Fairfax, he
said. THE financial world
must have some faith in Fair
fax County"
IF that faith is shaken, II
means that Fairfax will gel

If the Merrywood case coulC
be made to appear an isolated
one. distinct from all othel
zoning action, the effect of {
reversal would not be damag.
ing, he said. But he said he die
not see how that zoning casC
could be made to appear diff.
ferent from any other.
Recalls Court Case
Even if the board should
zone the land back to residen.
tial use, he said, the court.
probably would void the action
He cited a recent Falrfa1
Circuit Court ruling in a similar
Falls Church case which helC
that unless there has been {
change in the character of thu
land, a governing body may no
reverse itself on account o.
public dissatisfaction which
develops after the initial re
zoning.
"The merits of the case ar
in court now" he said. "Thi

Anocostio Park Route
Opposed for InnerL Loop

An AnacoStia Park route for
the east leg of the Inner Loop
will be vigorously opposed by
the same coalition that defeated
the Eleventh street route.
I'VE fought the freeway for
Glover-Archbald Park, and will
fight harder against a freeway
through Anacostia Park" Jo-
seph L. Rauh, jr., said today.
Mr.. Rauh is vice chairman of
the Democratic Central Com
mittee, which opposed five
District interstate projects at
budget hearings this week, Mr.
Rauh said:
The neighborhood around
Glover Archibald is a high
income area. It's much mort
important to preserve Anacostif
Park for its low-income neigh.
borhood."
Land Donated
In the Glover-Archbald fight
District officials had a heac
start. In 1893, donors of the
park decided a 100-foot-wide
right of way to the District fol-
a roadway.
This spring. opponents of the
Glover-Archbald freeway in
troduced a bill in Congress to
strip the District of its right
of-Way.
Secretary of Interior Udall
and Senate Majority Leader
Mansfield, Democrat of Mon
tana, both testified at Congress
hearings in opposition to the
freeway.

Senator Mansfield said his
major interest was to stop

highway programs" from
threatening the future of all
parks in the country such as

u. S. Hoping
ToCut Violating
Of Traffic Lows
BY DAVID BREASTED
Star Staff Writer

Se- Sse@A "AANc4
The State Department proto-
col section will keep closer
track hereafter of traffic viola
tons by the Washington diplo-
matte corps, according to As
sistant Chief Of Protocol Pedro
Sanjuan.
Tickets for all moving and
parking violations will go to
the protocol office for process
ing instead of to police pre-
cincts or the Traffic Division.
The purpose OF the change is
ito try to cut down on the
traffic violations. I don't think
they're alarming, but every
thing can be improved" Mr..
Sanjuan said.
Warning tickets issued to
cars with diplomatic tags will
be collected by police once a
week and sent to the protocol
section, according to Mr.. San
juan.
Embassy staff members on
the white list" will send their
tickets with a covering diplo-
matte note from the embassy
giving the ticket recipients
name and address directly to
the protocol office.
Already in Effect
The new system went into
effect yesterday with an order
drafted by Deputy Police Chief
William j. Liverman, after
meetings with Mr.. Sanjuan
ana embassy representatives.
Mr.. Sanjuan explained the new
provisions at meeting Thurs
day.
Mr.. Sanjuan said yesterday
that diplomatic officers and
embassy staff members who are
nationals have diplomatic i'm
munity under which traffic
violation tickets can be ad-
juSted. Embassy members on
the white list" hold regular
District tags. s
Until now, diplomatic vio-
lations were adjusted by police
after processing by the Central
Violations Bureau. The bureau
drew up a list every five months
OF tickets adjusted and the DO
lice department sent this report,
which included an embassy-by-
embassy breakdown, to the
Commissioners. From there the
report went to the State De-
partment.
Mr., Sanjuan said his office
will keep tabs to see that the
ticket situation doesn't get ex-
cessive." His office will notify
the individual embassy draw
ling an excessive number of
tickets. |
Suspect Chauffeurs
He said he suspects that
chauffeurS get most of the
diplomatic ticket volume.
! Asked what he considered ex-
cessive violations, he said three
in a week might be considered
out of line. and three a day
"out of the question. He
added that perhaps 10 tickets
in six months might be ques-
tionable.
He noted that American or
other non-national employees of
embassies do not have diplo-
matte immunity unless they
can prove, in a court action for
instance, that they were on of
ficial embassy business when
cited.
Deputy Police Chief LIVER
man said he had noted "con-
siderable improvement" in re-
cent weeks in the parking sit
uation around the Soviet, EN-
baSSy, 1125 Sixteenth Street
NV. There have been pro-
tracted negotiations about
parking violators blocking rush
hour bus lanes past the en-
basSy, which caused traffic tie
ups when buses had to pull
around parked cars.

How To Realize Tax Savings
On Investment Losses

Suppose you invested 81, 900 in particular security.
Since you bought it. the price has dropped and if you
sold it today you'd only get $500.
Does that mean you would be out of pocket 5000 if
you sold?
No. not necessarily.
Let's say for the sake of easy explanation that you're in
the 4OS federal ncome-tax bracket that is the last 81 900
or so of your income taxed at the 40S rate Under the
tax law you deduct investment losses up to 81 900
year in computing your taxable income. So you did sell
and took loss of $500 your stock you could deduct
that 5000 from your income and 40S of $780, $780,
in taxes, thus limiting your net loss to Sl2O The higher
your top ncome-tax bracket the greater your proper
tonate tax saving on any loss.
Note: With tbe Presidents promise of a in
Federal income taxes-berbabs next yeay-tOaayS
higher rates might make such selling more
attractive this year than next.
This doesn't mean that you should sell everything on
which you have loss for the sake of tax savings Not bya
long shot Many times the outlook for security will sug
gest that it be held Many times the overall profit and
loss picture of your portfolio makes such tax savings
impractical.
STILL we do feel that if you investor, you should
be aware of the possibility of using savings your
losses Ye and the possibility of einvetng the proceeds
of the sale in some other stock that shows greater promise
of gain in the months ahead
Such possibilities don't grow on trees, of course.
And before you start looking for hem suggest that
you review your entire profit and loss picture with
qualified tax conSultant.
If he favors selling particular securities for tax-oss pur
poses, will be glad to suggest sensible substtuhons
aimed price appreciation that fit your basic investment
objectives.
You can stop in and ask to speak with an account exec
veor you simply write to the manager of the most
convenient office shown below
