Open Space
Plan Urged 10
Bind

Angered by the proposed
development Of part of the Po-
tomac Palisades, Representa-
tive Reuss yesterday called for
a metropolitan plan to conserve
open space near Washington.
In a letter to the National
Capital Planning Commission,
the Wisconsin Democrat asked
for a "Share-the-burden" plan
which would give suburban
counties specific tasks in ac-
quiring land. rezoning and in
allowing tax concessions to
owners of open land.
Possible Federal action to
block construction of a high
rise apartment project on the
Virginia Palisades Just north of
Chain Bridge would give only
stop gap relief, he said.
Fears For Master Plan
What is needed" he said,
"iS an all-for-one-one-for- all
(open space) plan for the
Washington metropolitan area,
so that the Year 1000 Plan can
become not merely a paper
hope, subject to the daily frus-
tration Of outlying jurisdictions
which thumb their nose at it,
but a binding blueprint Of the
future"
The Congressman's ire was
aroused when the Fairfax
Board of County Supervisors
approved the apartment project
for the Merrywood estate. He
has introduced bills to give
Federal agencies veto power
over local governments in zon-
ing matters along the Potomac.
In his statement yesterday,
he urged expansion Of his
preservation of open space
concept to all portions Of the
metropolitan counties. The
counties would receive Federal
aid in reserving open land, he
said.
Open-Spaces Planned
Mr.. Reuss said that without
such Federal action the Year
1000 Plan, the master plan for
area development. would be
"hopelessly compromised before
it ever starts"
The plan calls for high
density development in the
suburban areas along corridors
radiating from Washington,
and open or green space be-
tween the corridors. The area
along the Potomac Is deSig-
mated as open-Space in the
plan.
THE outlying governments
(would) have to agree on what
their fair share Of land ac-
QUESTION must be. And
above all, the outlying govern
ments would have to agree on
fair minimum zoning standards
which cannot be departed
from E"
Mr.. Reuss' plan brought i'm
mediate comment from Mary
land Planners. Jesse F. Mich
olson said Mr.. ReuSS' remarks
ARE not applicable to Mary
land suburban counties. We
have taken the lead in land
acquisition for open spaces and
have 1000 acres of parks and a
new Federal grant to buy $500
additional acres" Mr.. Nichol-
son is executive director Of the

sion.

HE EMPHASIZED this, ex-
planning that 81 years ago he
was born in Charlottesville, in
the shadow of Mr.. Jefferson's
University, that he had been an
honor student, that he had liked
school, that he had always
wanted to attend college, but
, that before he finished the ninth
grade. he had to quit and begin
working for a living. In the

neer Orientation Exten sion

hours of a 308-hour block.

cation he repeats. Il want my
kids to have one. You need an

day."
His wife, Doris, mods agree
ment. She never completed the
seventh grade and now gets up
at 4:30 every morning to dress
and feed the youngsters and
drive them the mile or more
down the rutted, red clay road
to the paved highway where
they catch a school bus shortly
after six then she swings by
and picks up a Negro neighbor
to stay with the four year-old
while she works as hand
stitcher in the local shoe factory
to help pay the bills.

"The sooner this school thing
is cleared up the better. We
need more education for every
body. 1t cuts crime, it makes
a community prosper. An educat-
ed citizen is self-reliant citi.
zen.
So far, Latham remains the

Since fishermen have caught
several sharks in Delaware
waters this season we thought
few facts about one of the
most fascinating members of
the "piscatorial set" would in
tereSt our readers.
Unlike most fishes, sharks
do not have swim bladders. The
lack of this buoyant organ, coup
led with the fact that sharks
are heavier than water, makes
it necessary for them from the
moment of birth to death to
remain in motion to maintain
their vertical position in the
ocean. The fin structure makes
it impossible for a shark to
back up. If he misses he must
swing and try again, travelling
in a figure 8 pattern while
feeding on smaller fishes.
Young sharks are born in an
active and free living state.
The reproductive capacity of
the shark is small compared
with other fishes. Usually there
are e to 10 pups in a litter.
However, some Blue Shark may
give birth to rs to 80 young
sharks.
If you should happen to see
the familiar upper tail lobe of
the Thresher Shark riding high
in the water as it pursues fish
and squid be assured he mis-
takenly came into the Bay.
Sharks definitely prefer living
a life of isolation far at sea.
OH THOSE BLUESl They're
Taking Every Line

for blues off Fenwick Island,

the best fishing of a lifetime.
