Regional planners are going
to take a new, close look at the
Wisconsin and Western ave-
nues area.
A 250-acre parcel of COM
mercial and residential land on
both sides of the District
Maryland boundary line WILDE
studied to guide Maryland in
any rezoning in the section and
to make certain the area can
accommodate future transpor-
tation plans in the District.
The study was reported yes
terday at a meeting of the Ma
tional Capital Regional Plan
ming Council. It is to be spon-'
sored jointly by the National
Capital Planning Commission,
the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commits
sion and the National Capital
Transportation Agency.
Pressures Cited
lone Of the reasons for the
scrutiny, a Council spokesman
said. is that private develop
ment pressures on the Mont
gomery County side are strong
and the need for rezoning and
street changes are apparent"
On the Maryland side, the
land parcel now include S
Woodward and Lothrop De-
partment store, a small, high
quality shopping center, the
large Government Employees
Insurance Co. building and a
large number of private houses
in the $50, 000-to-$50,00 price
range.
Other reasons for the areas

continued, are that Wisconsin

gram a waste of public funds

But if there must be such
a program, he added, 1t would
make more sense to shelter
the whole community than to
have the children survive
without their parents.

shelter protection for county
school children but insisted the
pupils not be forced under
ground in combination class
room shelters or otherwise
hampered in their lessons.
1--WE may wait a long time
for catastrophe-we hope for
ever-so we can't abandon our
educational program just to
build Shelters" said board men,
Der Clifford K. Beck.
The boards action was
prompted by a council request
for shelter space in the schools,
combined with a proposal by
the Civil Defense Advisory
Board for the schools to pro-
vide refuge for the entire
county population.
Waits on Council Action
Anxious not to overstep its
authority, the board declined
to move on a broad scale until
the council puts some flesh on
its as yet skeletal policy for
community civil defense.
Until then, the modest pilot
project in the two schools
would provide practical expe-
rience in an area where cost
estimates, building specifica-
lions and a host of other prob
lens are guesses at best, the
board said.
The resolution, drafted by
Board President William R.
Thomas and due to be polished
still further today despite three
hours of discussion, poses three
key questions of policy for the
council.
The questions are:
Is fallout protection enough
in an area so close to a prime
target, or should heavier blast
shelters be built apart from the
schools?
In an emergency. who would
operate school shelters-the
county or the schools?
How many refugees from the
community at large can the
schools make room for without
being transformed into shell
ters-with- school-space instead
of schools-with- shelters-spacef
The resolution also pointed
out that civil defense costs
although ultimately paid fol
out of tax revenues, are prop
erly part of the county
rather than the school capita,
budget"
A Lone Dissent
On that point, Supt. c
Taylor Whittier voiced con-
Germ that over a period o.
years shelter funds-"not
rightful educational expense
would be mixed up with funds
for genuine school projects.

boards stand, Robert E. Nor

agenciesp Are they any less
guilty for their private sin?"
Constitutional Question
The Rev. Thomas Cassidy of
Arlington, director of the Cath
olic Charities Of Northern Vir-
ginia, expanded on this point
when he commended that the
sterilization of only those
mothers of illegitimate chill
dren on relief rolls would be
contrary to the equal protec-
ton clause in the Federal Con-
stitution.
In other developments yester-
day:
The House Finance Commit
tee killed bill by Arlington
Delegate William L. Winston to
raise the diesel fuel tax on
truckers from 8 to II cents a
gallon. The vote was IL to 2.
Mr.. Winston argued that
legislation is nearing passage
to allow freight-hauling trucks
to increase maximum weight
from $4,000 pounds to 10000
pounds and that truckers OBJ
tain about so per cent more
mileage per gallon from diesel
fuel than they can get from
gasoline.
Truck Bill Passes House
The Senate bills to increase
the weight and height Of the
big highway truck carriers
rolled to easy assage in the
House of Delegates today.
The bill increasing the gross
weight limits from $4,000 to
10000 ounds assed 80 to S. The
comanion increasing allowable
height from 1875 feet to 1876
feet passed 854-4.
The House beat down amend
ments offered by Fairfax and
Arlington delegates to hold the
limits, to cut the new gross
weight to $4,000 pounds and to
hold the line of height.
The House passed and sent
to the Governor a bill by Sen
ator Chalres R. Fenwick of Ar
lington to include the Dulles
International Airport within
the Jurisdiction of the Wash
ington Metropolitan Are a
Transit Authority.
The legislation was rushed
through to permit the Maryland
Legislature, now in session to
ratify the agreement before it
is sent to Congress for ap-
proval.

improvements and that the To-
cation might possibly be a
reasonable location for a Fed
eral employment center"
The National Capital Trans
portation Agency is interested
in the Wisconsin Western ave-
nue. location as a possible site
of a transit station for a pro-
posed rapid transit system.
Walter B. Schilling, acting
director of the council. told
yesterdays meeting that Wis
consin avenue Is being consid-
cred as a possible route for any
of four possible transportation
improvements. 70
Several Systems Considered
These include, he said, a new
freeway, a combination free
way and rapid transit system.
a rapid rail system alone, or
simply an improved bus system
with no major transportation
improvement.
Mr.. Schilling added the three
sponsoring groups are seeking q
conSultant who will have 60
days to complete the study.
The Wisconsin Western ave-
nue. section has long been a
subject of controversy. Wiscon-
sin avenue was proposed as the
entrance for Maryland 70S
(Route 240) into Northwest
Washington but was placed by
Congress in a state of freeze
for two years.
In other action yesterday, the
Council announced that along
with the National Capital
planning Commission, it must
move from its present quarters
lin the Interior Department
Building. No new site has been
| decided on as yet.

Lee to Seek
Closed SCI
Tax Relief
BY a Star Staff Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 13.-Leg-
islation to give tax aid to per-
sons whose savings are tied up
in State-closed savings and
loan associations is scheduled
to be presented to the Mary
land General Assembly today.
Delegate Blair Lee III, Dem
ocrat of Montgomery, said he
will offer a bill to exempt from
State income taxes those divi-
dends credited to the savings
accounts out not actually with
drawn.
Mr.. Lee said a shareholder
should not be required to pay
taxes on dividends he hasn't
collected and probably never
will. He said the tax relief
should be granted Immediately
and if by chance the share
holder does get the money when
the final accounting is made Of
the closed firms assets. the tax
bill could be adjusted then.
A similar proposal made re-
Gently by Gubernatorial Candi-
date David Hume was labeled
by Gov. Tawes as a political
gimmick."
Mr.. Lee, running for the
United States Senate on a
ticket headed by Gov. Tawes'
opponent, George P. Mahoney.
said his bill is lone of the
things the Tawes administra-
ton should be doing in the
savings and loan field but
isn't"
Another proposal by the Ma
honey forces for a grand in
quest" of the savings and loan
situation by the House of Dele
gates was defeated overwhelm-
ingly last week. 1t was opposed
by Gov. TaweS.

nearing at pm. tomorrow on
ton bill which differs from the
compulsory and freedom of
choice" approaches that were
killed by the Senate General
Laws Committee.
The Virginia Advisory Coun-
Gil has recommended passage
Of House Bill 800 by Delegate
John Warren Cook Of Mathews
and eight others, including
Delegate Tom Frost of War
renton, which will be heard to-
: morrow.
In Maryland, there is no law
on sterilization according to
DR.. Carl Everstine, head of the
Bureau Of Legislative Refer
ence. A spokesman at the Dis
trict Of Columbia Health De-
partment said he knew of no
law for the City of Washing
ton.
The pr -posed Virginia law
would permit any adult with
the consent of the spouse,
If married, to be sterilized after
a 30-day waiting period, by a
physician after consultation
with one or more other ply
sicianS.
Parents of minor children
also could request the surgery
by petition to the courts, also
after 80 days notice and upon
consultation of the doctors.
Economics Issue
State Senator Curry Carter
of Staunton, and William F..
Stone of Martinsville, were the
patrons of the two bills killed
yesterday. Both argued their
legislation was an issue of
economics rather than of re-
ligion.
The Carter bill would have
required any mother of an il
legitimate child who is receiv-
ing public relief funds to be
sterilized If she bore a second
child out Of wedlock.
The patron commended it was
not a compulsory" bill by
arguing. "She can always move
out of Virginia"
One of the few Protestant
witnesses, the Rev. Robert Sci
Ter, an Episcopal minister of
Richmond, said, Ito suggest
that the woman leave Virginia
is merely a method of driving
Virginia's social problems to
neighboring States"
Matter of Choice
Senator Stone described his
measure as one of freedom of
choice" a phrase employed to
describe Virginia's prese t
policy Of dealing with racially-
integrated public schools.
Under my BILL" Mr.. Stone
said, "a girl can make one
mistake but she can't have a
second child if she wants to
receive welfare" His measure
would have required the I'M
wed mother of one child to be
sterilized If she remains eligible
for welfare aid to dependent
children.
Mrs. Adrienne c. Masterson
of 3917 York road, Alexandria,
legislative chairman of the
Richmond Diocesan Council of
Catholic Women, keynoted the
opposition arguments when she
said:
"Rehabilitation-not sterili-
zation-must be the answer in
Virginia"

GOV. EGAN GOES TO
 WASHINGTON TO CONFER ON JAP FISHING PROBLEM

ANCHORAGE LR = Gov. Wn. Egan said today he will confer with US. Undersecretary of State George Ball in Washington, DC. Tuesday on the threat posed by foreign fishing fleets to tradition ally Alaskan fishing waters.
 Egan said he would be accom- panied to Washington by State Atty Gen. Ralph Moody and re- presentative of the State Depart ment of Fish and Game. Egan plans to fly east from Anchorage Sunday night.
 T feel that the continuing &C., tivities of the Japanese fishing fleet in and near Alaska waters poses the likelihood that all of Alaska's efforts to rehabilitate and perpetuate it's fisheries resources could be jeopardized,' Egan said.
 With one of Alaska's most val uable resources in mortal danger, no stone must be left unturned in presenting the gravity of the situ- ation to high policy making off cials in our federal government.
 What is now occurring is com parable to the situation which would be confronted if neighbor moved in to establish historic rights in order to ultimately destroy his friends garden.
 T fervently hope that the fish e,y groups from across the seas will recognize the human and prac- tical aspects of their activities and WILL respect Lrle historical nShInp rights of others"
 Egan said the Japanese herring fishing fleet which hoe hnn.. 1.s.a.. ating in the Prince William Sound
 GuH of Alaska area has moved further off shore in tho past few days.
