Compromise
On Potomac
Tract OKd

HouSe-Senate conferees have
come to a compromise over
preserving the view across the
Potomac from Mount Vernon.
Meeting yesterday over the
money bill for the Interior
Department and related agen-
cies, they agreed to appropriate
$213,000 for the purchase of
about 1873 acres at Mockley
Point.
Originally, the Interior De-
partment had requested 81
million to purchase some 800
acres directly across the river
from the First Presidents
home. The land purchase was
designed to prevent construc-
ton of a sewage treatment
plant by the Suburban Sanitary
Commission.
Officials of the Commission
argued that the plant could
be constructed up Piscataway
Creek without damaging the
view from the historic home.
The House, in its handling
of the bill, struck all funds fol
land purchase. The Senate, or
the other hand, restored thu
spending request.
The conference resulted in 6
money bill about $34 million
under the $922.5 million voteC
by the Senate and about $2(
million more than had beer
voted by the House last March
20.
Conferees, in other actor
yesterday, agreed to add $780,
600 for the United States Park
Police. This will enable the
force to hire 80 more men.

HE boasted he was allow

The five-minute recess was
granted on the request of Alan

senting Floyd. The attorney
said he needed the time to

view the document, but the de-
fendant said he needed a break
and left the courtroom.
Others sentenced were Albert

Office Building Plan
Further Rolls Sumner

Opposition from residents in
the Sumner area of Mont
gomery County to a proposed
high-riSe apartment has stiff
fened because of disclosure that
the developers also plan an
office building for 800 to 1000
employees of the National In
Stitutes of Health in the area,
a spokesman for six citizens
associations said today.
The Montgomery County
Council is scheduled to act
Tuesday on a coming change
for the proposed apartment at
westward and Massachusetts,
avenues. The County Planning
Board has voted in favor of
the rezoning.
John P. Southmayd, the
citizens association spokesman
said that residents of the area
were about 100 per cent OPP
posed to the apartment" before
they recently found out about
the proposed 8-story office
building on westward avenue
near the Western Suburban
Junior High School.
Although the office building
is going on land that does not
have to be rezoned, Mr.. South
mayd said, the citizens are
further riled because of the
changing character of the
single-family area and fear of
heavier traffic and parking,
They have been writing letters

a delegation to the Council

Zone Critics
Asked to File
In Writing

Prince Georges County real
estate men, often the target of
strict coming advocates, retail
ated yesterday with their own
request for a change.
They want all opponents of
rezoning petitions to state
their objections in writing at
least 10 days before cases are
aired at the twice-monthly
public hearings.
The request was made in a
letter to the County Commits
sioners from the Prince Georges
County Board of Realtors,
signed by Carl Albert Hieder,
president.
County heads interpreted
the request as an answer to
pleas by coming reformers that
developers filing rezoning pc
titions include their reasons
for wanting a change in land
use.
Such rezoning explanation
was in the platform of the in
surgent Independent Democrat
faction during the primary
campaign, and has been urged
by advocates of charter govern
ment. The insurgents won the
majority Of primary contests
and charterites say they have
enough petitions for a refer
endum in November.
Commissioner M. Bayne
Brooke said if opponents were
required to state their object
ions, then perhaps rezoning
petitioners also should be asked
to submit their arguments in
advance.
This could lead to handling
rezoning cases by correspond
ence," said Herbert w. Reichelt,
vice chairman of the County
Commissioners.

HAGERSTOWN, Md, July %
(AP).-The sky is black and
ominous. Dirt farmers desper-
ately need rain. Orchard own
ers fear hail will ruin their
apples and peaches.
A multi-million dollar ques-
ton: Do you seed the clouds,

do you let nature take her

The problem is not theoret-
ical. There are reports from
the Mercersburg section of

have threatened to blow up
irrigation bitches, poison wells
and chop down trees of orchard
owners who persist in cloud
seeding.
The farmers contend the
cloud seeding diverts rain,

Opposes BLANK Check"
Republicans are for public
works" he said. but We are
not going to give the President
a blank check. We want these
projects passed upon by Con-
greSS."
Senator Aiken, Republican
Of Vermont, said in a separate
interview this proposed autho-
rity represents a purely politi-
cal contrivance" which the
President might use to win sup
port for his New Frontier pro-
gram.
Just think what the PreSi-
dent could do with such a
slush fund" Senator Aiken
said. He wouldn't have to
spend any Of the money. He
could Just promise candidates
that their districts and States
would be in line for it if they
went along with his legislative
program"
The bill represents a strategic
retreat from the original re-
quest for a S2-billion standby
program and $500 million in
immediate projects.
The revised measure would
authorize a $750-million public
works program aimed at re-
ducing chronic unemployment
in distress areas. A second pro-
vision would authorize an ad-
ditional $750-million program
for the year beginning July /.
1868. if unemployment should
reach 5 per cent of the labor
force.
Power Of Initiation
Under the latter provision,
the President could initiate
projects not individually au-
thorized in advance by Con-
gress.
Under the weight Of attacks
from Republicans and some
Southern Democrats on what
they call back door spending.
the administration abandoned
its proposal to let the President
dip into Government trust
funds to finance emergency
projects. 1t bowed to the de-
mand that all must be financed
through regular congressional
appropriations.
This move obviously was
aimed at solidifying Democratic
support for the measure. Spon-
sors said they are confident it
will pass without any major
