Reuss Calls MEETING
On Merrywood Project

Representative Reuss, who
has been unable to get House
committee action on a bill to
block the Merrywood apart

tomac palisades, has called his
own hearing on the contro-
versial issue.
Mr.. Reuss, Democrat Of Wis

ing a 'pre-hearing." Mr.. Reuss
said that it would not be lin
tied to specific legislation, but
would cover the broad problem
of protecting the natural
beauty Of the Potomac shore
line.
A bill by Mr.. Reuss designed
to protect the palisades by CIV
ing new authority to the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission has been before the
House District Committee.
The measure Is opposed by
two influential members of the
C o m mittee, Representatives
Broyhill. Republican, and
Smith, Democrat, Of Virginia.
A House District subcommittee
hearing on the bill has never
materialized.
Under this legislation, a
strip along the Potomac a half
mile wide would be protected
by giving the planning COM
mission authority to bar such
as water and sewage
to a proposed development.
The controversy over the bill
has been heightened because
its initial impact would be on
the proposed high rise Merry

Fairfax County.

Mr.. Phillips said. the Board is
continuing to back voting
power in the House and Senate
for the District as an alterna-
tive to home rule.
Looking ahead, Mr.. Phillips
said that one Of the prime
needs to be filled here is an
auditorium in the city adequate
to handle large conventions.
Mr.. Phillips said he and the
board were opposed to any re-
strictions on ship traffic
through the Woodrow Wilson
drawbridge during rush hours.
He said such traffic would in

with impersonating police Off
GERS in what they described as
a $500 "shakedown" of an

they confiscated a quantity of
cards bearing the names of

The two appeared before
Municipal Court Judge Mildred
Reeves yesterday, who on re-
quest of Capt. Kutner, set
their bonds at $4,000. Ordi-

the situation here is not eXcep-

Pilots Oppose
Eastern Merger
With American

The Air Line Pilots Associa-
ton yesterday asked the Civil
AeronauticS Board to disapprove
the proposed merger Of Ameri-
can and Eastern Air Lines.
Joining the Justice Depart
ment in opposition to the pro-
poSal, the association in q legal
brief filed with the CAB said
This brazen proposal :. would
foster oligopoly control by a
few companies. rather than by
a single company, produce
losses in revenues for other
carriers, disrupt competitive
balance and reduce employ
ment."
The Justice Department filed
an opposition brief in the
merger case on July 81, saying
1t would create a monopoly and
''be repugnant to established
antitrust principles"
The proposed merger has been
the subject Of hearings before
the CAB. but no decision has
been made as to approval or
disapproval. Eastern Airlines is

islation unless there were some
overriding reason such as i'm
minent bankruptcy to justify it.
Although Eastern lost $3.6
million in 1860 and 500 million
in 1861, the union brief said
the airline is aggressive and
powerful with the best OF
equipment and q net worth of
more than 500 million.
