Some, like Cadillac Joe and
Alcatraz Whitley, weren't at the

You will be subject to the

Supervisors A. Claiborne
Leigh and Anne wilkins, how
ever, contended the county had
co-operated with the FAA in
preparing land-use maps for
the area which prohibit resi-
dental development in the
high-noise level zones.
Chairman William H. Moss
of the supervisors commented,
II get the distinct impression
that these gentlemen are try

NIT 200 or 300 families to move
in then we will get 200 or 300

Mr.. Moss concurred in rec
concentrations from the county
planning commission and its
staff that action on all of the re-
quests be postponed until next
year when the airport will be
open and experience will show
what actual noise conditions
are.
Mr.. Moss said he had a let
ter from N. E. Halaby, FAA di-
rector, warning the supervisors
against premature action in the
area.
On Tuesday, Chairman Har-

Henson Valley "is not worth

Since the rejected application
cannot be filed again for q
year, Mr.. Boswell said he prob
ably will try to upset the COM
miSSioners' action in court.
Mr.. Boswell, who is chairman
of the Maryland Economic De-
velopment Commission, said
the real issue" involved is
whether high-rise apartments
shall be permitted along the
river.
The controversial Merrywood
rezoning on the Virginia shore
in Fairfax County was injected
into the discussion several
times.
| Robert P. Smith, president of
the Oxon Hill Citizens Associa-
ton. said rezoning the Prince
Georges tract would "Set a pre-
cedent for the wholesale sale of
land for apartment use" along
the Potomac River south of the
District of Columbia. He noted
that when the Merrywood tract
was rezoned upstream an own
er of an adjacent property i'm
mediately put up his land for
sale for apartment use.
Raps Planners
Mr.. Boswell said Prime e
Georges planners have de
evloped a Superman complex"
and are trying to force their
views on the county. He said
the planners do not recognize
the need for high-rize apart
mentS."
Mr.. Meter said apart
ments must be put somewhere
in the Washington area,
otherwise Pentagon workers
would have to commute 40
miles" He stressed the attrac-
tiveneSs of locations on the
water for luxury projects.
Questioned by opponents, he
conceded that the developers
would make more profit from
high-riSe apartments than from
building Single-family homes.
A marina, golf course, SWIM
ming pool, tennis courts and
Iother recreational facilities
were proposed along with the
apartment, which probably
would have around $500 units.
c. Warren Giauque, chief
Prince Georges planner for the
Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion, said rezoning of the Bos-
well tract would be spot coming
of an apartment use in an area
of single-family homes and
would be bound to lead to
other requests for similar
coming"
He said it would be contrary
to the proposed Henson Valley
master plan, on which hear
ings will be held July % and

doesn't show it, Mr.. Giauque

At ChontiIIy Rezonings

Despite warnings to go slow
on rezoning near Dulles Inter-
national Airport. the Fairfax
Board of County Supervisors
has rezoned six tracts and de-
ferred action on another at
Chantilly, Va.
Action came on divided votes
yesterday after charges were
made and denied that the Fed
eral Government is ''meddling
in local coming affairs" to pre-
vent industrial and commercial
competition with a ctivitie S
planned on the air field.
The seven tracts AUDITING or
near U. S. Route so at County
Route 657 involve a total of
232 acres. The residential or
apartment zones would bring
in an additional 4 LOO residents,
and commercial and industrial
developments would add an
other 800 to the crossroads
community.

torneys for the applicants, said
