County Commissioners on
June 20. Two weeks ago the
commissioners punctured the
master plan by approving a
regional shopping center on
land that planners had ear
marked for an industrial park.
The current request is con-
tanned in two rezoning petit
tons covering wooded and
undeveloped land west of Oxon
Hill road, south Of Panorama
drive, and extending westward
toward the Potomac river be-
low the Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
Opposed By Planners
The property lies in the path
of both the proposed George
Washington memorial parkway
and the Anacostia freeway.
About 81 Of the 80 acres are
needed for the two major
highways as well as Oxon Hill
road, according to a Maryland
National Capital Park and
Planning Commission advisory
to the County Commissioners.
The apartment rezoning is
opposed by the planners, who
drew up the H nson Valley
master plan. Also gathering
material to fight the petitions
is q group of citizens who three
years ago successfully waged a
court battle against high-den-
sity use Of the 44-acre Gibbons
tract to the south.

reserve rights-of-way for the

To Get Theater

A movie theater will be added

at Wheaton Plaza Regional
Shopping Center at Wheaton,
Md. it was announced today
by T. N. Lerner of T. N. Lerner
q Co. leasing and managing
agents for the center.
Construction will start before

occupy a 40-foot frontage along
the Plaza West Mall between
the Strosnider Hardware Store
and Diener's Floor Covering
Center.
To be known as the Wheaton
Plaza Playhouse, the theater
will be completed late in May
and will be operated as a fam
ily-type theater. 1t has been
laSed to the Wheaton Plaza
Theatre Corp. of which John
Broumas and Ira Sichelman
are principals.
Mr.. Lerner said Wheaton
Plaza has considered the addi-
ton of theater for some time,
but had rejected proposals for
a separate building, which
would bring people to the CEN
ter but remain outside the
central shopping area. BY
placing it on the West Mall it
will become an integral part OF
the retail center, he pointed out.

SCI Loan Areas
Widened by Board.

A new Government ruling
announced today paved the
way for both Federal and State
chartered insured savings and
loan associations to lend funds
on property up to 100 miles
from their main offices.
The previous limit was so
miles.
Joseph P. McMurray, chair
man of the Federal Home Loan
Bank Board, said the associa-
lions may lend up to 20 per cent
of their assets on the longer
range basis. The ruling goes
into effect February 10.
The chairman had indicated
desire to extend the geograph-
ical lending limit some time ago,
to encourage new housing. He
told a group of savings and loan
association officials at Garden
City, Long Island, last May "a,
that he considered the 50-mile
restriction "a horse and buggy
requirement" that should be
ended.

Government Spending
lakes 81 Out of S.

Close to two out of every
five dollars of Gross National
Product are spent by Federal,
State and local governments, a
spokesman for the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States
said today before the House
Senate Joint Economic Com
mittee.
Emerson P. Schmidt, eco
nomic consultant, said that in
1860 spending of all govern
mentS amounted to nearly 5000
billion and is rising. That fig
ure, he said, is roughly 40 per
cent of the value of all goods
and services (gross national
product) produced in the ma
ton.
The figures are scarcely a
basis for the frequent charge, u
Mr.. Schmidt said, "of public
squalor in the midst of private
affluence'."
In calendar 1860, the Federal
Government spent $129.7 bill
lion, Mr.. Schmidt said; State
and local governments spent
nearly $50 billion.

Labor Talks
Fail to Slow
Steel Buying

NEW YORK, Feb. 7 (AP) "A
steel labor settlement will have
to be made before the end of
March in order to head off more
inventory buying, trade pub
LEGATION said today.
The Magazine Iron Age re-
ported that steel demand con-
tinues to strengthen in antici-
patton of the June 80 termina-
ton date of labor contracts in
the industry.
Recent statements by steel
leaders that they are hopeful
of an early labor settlement are
having a small effect on steel
ordering" Iron Age added.
The talk had headed off
ordering by some companies
which are unable to finance
heavy inventory accumulation.
IF there is not a settlement
by the end of March even the
most reluctant will have to
jump into the market for last
minute tonnages," the maya
zine said. For some, it will be
too late, if a strike does result. "
The magazine reported a slight
easing in automotive demand
for steel as resulting from
some apparent over-buying
for January and February"
"All in all, the six-month out
look continues to improve" the
magazine concluded.
