A new breed, the fugitive
from suburbia, is moving into
the town houses in the River
Park Cooperative Community II
Southwest Washington.
Who are these folk that flee
Bethesda, hate grass, can'i
stand committing and hear the
clarion call of culture in the
metropolis? Are they seeking
anonymity or instant together
ness? Are they happy?
After a dozen interviews and
as many cups of coffee, we dis
covered the residents are a
combination Of Scarsdale and
Greenwich Village with a dash
of Dodge City thrown in. They
have a well-heeled beatnilS
quality about them.
The Scarsdale side is found
in their employment, their
incomes and their driving COM
munity spirit.
Most are Professionals
Almost all are professiona

omistS. In contrast to ScarsdalC
there appear to be few if any
businessmen.
According to the manager ol
the cooperative, an income Of
$4,000 is practically mandatory
in order to buy a town house.
The new residents accept the
word cooperate with an eager.
ness that would make an ami
blush.
Months before anyone haC
moved in. the Recreation anC
Culture Committee, the Area
Planning Committee, the Mu-
nicipal and Civic Committee

the Education Committee anc
the Nursery Committee were
buzzing away.

only youth can supply (and)
exuberance and daring may
perhaps diminish"
The stand Of the Young
Democrats on the two issues
put them at odds with the
public position taken in the
past by the Tawes administra-
ton on slot machines and
Senate ortionments q.
Attorney General Thomas B.
Finan. a top member of the
administration OF Democratic
Gov. Tawes, has argued in the
courts-so far successfully
against the revision Of senate
membership.
And Gov. Tawes in the past
has held slot machines to be
a local issue in four southern
counties where they are legal.
The stand on revision of
Senate membership provided
the most controversy among
about 80 resolutions passed by
the Young Democrats at a con-
vention at the WaShingtonian
Motel near Gaithersburg.
MOylan Elected President
Most of the opposition came
from delegates from the East
ern Shore, the traditional seat
of resistance to dilution of the
heavy rural vote in the Gen.
eral Assembly.
The resolution, carried A to
33, urged that population be
a principal consideration in
the makeup of the Senate. -
Charles E. Moylan, jr., of
Baltimore. was elected presi-
dent of the Young Democrats.
Walter D. Hansen, of Mont
gomery, was named first vice
president.
Other new officers include
Miss Nancy Brown, a Univer-
sity of Maryland student, who
is running for the House of
Delegates from Cecil County,
second vice president; Mrs.
Goodlowe Byron, of Frederick,
treasurer. and Jerry o. Louch-
ran, jr., of Elmer, Howard
County. secretary.
Hear Gov. Tawes
Gov. Tawes, himself in re-
marks prepared for delivery to
the Young Democrats, under
scored the differences between
veteran campaigners and the
younger set.
The Governor called the
Young Democrats trail blaz-
ers," but warned that the pro-
grams they espouse might not
become realities quickly.
Another resolution urged
adoption of a graduated State
personal income tax to replace
the present levy which is a
flat 8 per cent of net earnings.

Gov. Tawes and David Hume
insisted last night they have
reached agreement on Mary
lands slot machine issue, but
they were still being coy about
the details.
If a solid agreement has ir
fact been reached, it would
seem that Gov. Tawes has re-
ceded from his position that
slots are a local issue. Mr.
Hume has been a staunch ad-
vocate Of State action to ban
slots, and last night said he
had not receded from his po-
sition.
The alliance forged three
weeks ago in Ocean City be-
tween Gov. Tawes and the
man who ran against him in
the Democratic primary report
edly had threatened to found
er on the slot machine issue.
After a meeting with Gov.
Tawes yesterday, Mr.. Hume
said there sis absolutely no dis
agreement between the gov
ernor and myself" on slot ma
chimes.
1t was at that point that Mr..
Hume said he has not receded
from his position favoring
State legislation to abolish
slots.
Tawes Silent
Gov. Tawes refused to tell re-
porters any details of the pur-
ported agreement.
I'VE have worked out a solu-
ton on this ISSUE" Gov. Tawes
said. I'VE will announce the
details later. The election is not
until November 6 and timing
is an important factor in a
campaign"
Gov. Tawes and Mr.. Hume
attended a convention Of the
Maryland Young Democrats
last night and appeared on
friendly terms. During the past
few days Mr.. Hume had passed
up some of his scheduled ap-
pearances in behalf of Gov.
Tawes.
II certainly am going to
campaign proudly for the gov
ernor." Mr.. Hume said last
night.
At his formal address at the
Young Democrats banquet last
night, Gov. Tawes praised the
group for its forward-looking
program and said he will give
their resolutions his support.
However, it was not clear
whether he meant he would
support specifically the anti
slot machine and the Senate
re-apportionment resolutions.
Before he made his speech.
the Governor told reporters
that he wanted to take a look
at" the Young Democrats res
olution on slot machines. 1t
was unlikely that the Cover
nor had read the entire long
list of resolutions passed earlier
in the day by the Young Demo-
Gratis.
Ask End of Slots
Earlier yesterday, the Young
Democrats passed a resolution
urging State legislation to
abolish the slots.
The Young Democrats also
urged more State Senate rep
resentation for urban areas.
Saying that older politicians
have the benefit Of experience,
the Governor noted that they
may lack "the freshness that

Merrywood Ruling
UphoIds Rezoninq
Judge Brown
Backs Fuirfux
Supervisors

Rezoning Of the Merrywood
estate for construction of high
rise apartments amid the Poto-
mac Palisades was upheld yes
terday, by Fairfax Circuit Court
Judge Paul E. Brown.
81 don't think I can substitute
my judgement for that Of the
Board of Supervisors" Judge
Brown said at the close of a
four-day hearing on the con-
troversial rezoning action.
E. A. Prichard, one of four
lawyers representing Mclean
area residents who protested
the rezoning of Mrs. Jacqueline
Kennedy's girlhood home, told
reporters he would appeal the
ruling within 80 days.
The estate is owned by Hugh
D. AuchincloSs, Mrs. Kennedy's
stepfather. After developer
Sheldon Magazine succeeded in
persuading the Board of Super
visors to rezone the property TO
pave the way for luxury high
rise apartments, IL Mclean
residents asked the court to,
overrule the rezoning.
Action Called Arbitrary
Mr.. Prichard argued that the
plaintiffs were deprived of due
process of law and equal pro-
lection of the law by the
boards action. The rezoning
was an arbitrary determine
ton to confer a benefit" on
the developer, he said. In ad-
dition, he said, the action con-
stituted spot zoning."
Another attorney for the
plaintiffs. Sloan Kuikendall,
said, "All of the courts in the
land seem to be in accord in
denouncing spot coming per
se." If the court upheld the
rezoning, he warned, applica-
tions for rezoning would fol-
low from other residents in the
area.
Defense attorneys also ar
gued that the board, voting S
to 2 in favor Of the Merrywood
application, did not adhere to
a set of criteria that it adopt
ed in 1860. ''In this case they
made no determination of cri-
teria," Mr.. Pritchard said.
Traffic Congestion Issue
Defense Attorney Frederick
T. Gray. a former Virginia at
torney general, contended that
the plaintiffs did not prove the
board acted arbitrarily. an
order to win, the plaintiffs
must have an open and shut
case. he said.
He dismissed arguments that
the 1030-tinit apartment prof.
ect would aggravate traffic
congestion on Route 123. Be-
cause the need for roads pre-
cedes the construction of roads,
he said, Perhaps the solution
to the traffic problem will be
hurried along by development
in this area"
Regarding the 1860 list of
standards for developments, he
said, THE criteria are a guide
and not an ironclad rule"
Says Hearing Was Fair
Mr.. Gray also contested COM
plants that the plaintiffs had
not received a fair hearing be-
fore the board. IF there was
ever a case in which the public
was granted the right to be
fully heard. this was such a
case" he said.
Milton Fischer, the develop
ment's architect, was one of
several persons who testified
for the defense during the
morning. He said the three
tower development will not be
higher than 100 feet. The
original plans called for a
height of $50 feet.
He also said that much Of
the estate will be preserved in
its natural state and as much
of the 712 acres of parking
space as possible will be in
open areas and under trees.
Some of the trees will have to
be removed, he said.

Moore averted an immediate
showdown on this issue by cit
ing her for contempt because
she refused to move from a Sec
tion of the courtroom reserved
for whites after she arrived to
surrender.
Judge Moore sentenced her to
10 days in Jail on the contempt
charge and said he would refuse
to consider the delinquency mat
ter until a hearing on that case
scheduled for May IA.
Each time Mrs. Bevel tried to
state her position on the delin-
quency charge the judge cut her
off. However, she had given a
statement to the press explain
ing her stand. A copy of this
was handed to the judge by a
friend of hers while she was
locked up awaiting trial on the
contempt charge.
In her statement Mrs. Bevel
declared: "The only condition
under which | will leave Jail is
that the unjust and untrue
charge of contributing to dein-
quency is dropped"
Mrs. Bevel was sentenced to
serve two years and fined $4,000
in City Court last November.
The case was appealed to the
County Court and she was free
on bond pending a retrial.
She stated April 80 that she
had decided to abandon the ap-
peal because it would mean sit
ting through another court trial
in Mississippi. Sc said she be-
lieves in and practices the phi
losophy of nonviolence, this phi
losophy teaches that one must
not cooperate with evil-and
she considers the court system
in Mississippi evil and unjust.
She said further in her state

They argue that this metro

Rising Negro discomfort, as
some of these leaders view it,

takes the form of Negroes
