Prince Georges Attacks
Septic Tank Villages

Members of Prince Georges
Planning Board yesterda y
|pressed for action against small
lots with septic tanks, which
they said already are Clutter
ing" the county.
The board voted to order its
staff to make changes in pres
ent coming requirements which
would provide a minimum lot
size of 10000 square feet for
subdivisions without water or
sewers.
The present minimum is
10000 square feet with septic
tanks and wells, which has
created "a clutter of septic
villages, according to Board
Chairman Herbert w. Wells
and other members.
Member John B. Lauer said
1--WE are all wrong in our mini
mum size, and need a new zon-
ing category for low-density
Development"
Planning Director Arthur Stell-
horn said: 1--WE can make a
change in the wording of the
coming amendment to plug that
loophole without requiring
public hearings"

Since county planners had
recommended that fewer trail
ers be permitted, the developers
agreed to limit the project to
TOO trailers - 200 on Mr..
Peachy's property and 500 on
Mr.. Faigen's.
They placed a covenant in
the deeds that there would not
be more than that number, and
the supervisors then rezoned
the land.
The applications raised a
storm of protest from home
owners in nearby residential
areas who protested during
board hearings, then brought
the court action.
THE rezoning motions were
made" Judge Van Dyck said,
with the express understand
ing that these covenants
would be recorded" and thus
the action is invalid.
Uniformity Violated
He said he believed that any
attempt to restrict a coming
applicant to fewer uses than
normally permitted or to fewer
units than the coming would
justify would violate "the re-
quirement of uniformity"
The ruling does not mean,
however, that "any coming
tinged with a condition is auto
matically bad" he said.
Sometimes conditions are
placed on zonings, such as re-
quirements for screening, en-
frances, exits and parking,
which would be Of benefit to
all, he said. In that case the
concern should be whether the
conditions constitute a real as
against a technical breach OF
the principles of uniformity
and certainty"

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. o.
Legislation to bar racial dis
elimination in hotels and
restaurants appears dead for
the current session of the Mary
land General Assembly, but
Gov. Tawes plans to make all
the legislators state their posi-
lions publicly.
The death blow was given
to the legislation yesterday by
the House Judiciary Committee
which tabled two bills dealing
with the issue.
The General Assembly &C
ton came Just before today's
scheduled pilgrimage to An
napolis by scores of Negroes in
support of the so-called public
accommodations legislation.
Sponsored by the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, the
demonstrators plan to mass on
the Statehouse steps before the
General Assembly session opens.
They also will meet with legis-
lators Individually to protest
racial discrimination in hotels
and restaurants.
National Director on Hand
Roy Wilkins, national direc-
tor of the NAACP, planned to
speak to the demonstrators at

Court Voids Fairfax
I roiIer Park Rezoninq

A controversial rezoning for
trailer park, approved by the
Fairfax Board of County Super
visors last summer, was thrown
out yesterday by Circuit Court
Judge Calvin Van Dyck.
The rezoning of 1T acres to
permit a 700-unit trailer project
off Route l near Bargain City is
invalid, Judge Van Dyck said,
because the Board of Supervi-
sors imposed special condition
on the owner before acting.
Thus the action violates the
requirements that coming be
uniform and represents IAN I'M
authorized use of the police
powers.
Developers Sought Action
Developers Paul Peachy and
George Fraigen asked the board
last July to rezone the tract to
a classification under which
1,750 trailers could be placed
on the land.

Rood Named
For Plantation

Historic Sully plantation in
Fairfax County will have a
road named after it by the
time the new Dulles Interna-
tional Airport opens next fall.
The Virginia Highway Com
mission has designated the new
east peripheral road, connect
ing Routes so and Z and the
airport access road. as Sully
road.

by Richard Bland Lee, Vir-
ginia's first member of Con-
gress, is part of a 36-acre
estate which has been turned
over to the Fairfax County
Park Authority for restoration.
The highway department re-
ported that the decision to
name the new thoroughfare

to the request of the Boards
of Approval of Fairfax and

Maryland planners yesterday

on a new National Environ
mental Health Center. some
what reduced in size from a
proposal for the same location
which was turned down in
Congress last year.
The Maryland-National Capt.

mission voted in favor of a 450-
acre site 2 miles northwest OF
Rockville between Route 10 and
Shady Grove road.
The Senate Appropriations
Committee late last summer re-
fused to grant money for a
site in che same location en-
bracing 600 acres because of
the disapproyal by a number
of Senators who thought the
center should be located in
their home States.
At that time, protests also
came from nearby residents.
But yesterday w. Lawson King,

acted at this session, and he has
pledged to call a special meet
ing to take up the matter later.
He told newsmen yesterday,
however, that he would like to
get a vote of the full House on
the issue this session. Even
though the committee tabled it
yesterday, the legislation can
be petitioned to the House floor
by is members.
Route 40 Is Target
The Governor said he is par
ticularly anxious Ito clear up
the Route 40 situation" Re-
fusals of white restaurants on
Route 40 to serve African dip
lomats and other Negroes in
planned demonstrations gave

international prominence.
The Governor indicated that
a bill applying to at least Cecil,
Hartford and Baltimore Counties
would take care of the Route 40
situation, since most of the
highway lies in those counties.
The purpose of the special
session would be to enact the
legislation for those counties
willing to go along with it.
Passage of a bill applying to
only part of the State is per-
Missile in a special session,
officials said.
On another front, the House
changed its mind and approved
a bill to give former Governors
a pension. The bill was re-
jected Monday but on recon-
sideration yesterday was ap-
proved by a II to A vote.
The bill, which provides a
pension of $1,000 annually for
each year of service as Chief
Executive, now goes to the Sen
ate.
The House also approved leg
islation which would increase
the penalties for violation of
gambling laws. On first con-
the bill provides fines
up to $4,000 and Imprisonment
for up to one year. For subse-
quent convictions the top fine
goes up to $4,000 and the pris-
on term to five years.

Opposition to the public &C
commodations bills was led in
the House Judiciary Committee
yesterday by lawmakers from
the Eastern Shore.
Seven of the Shore counties
asked to be exempt from the
legislation. Exemption of any
county would make the legisla-
ton illegal for this session,
since only Statewide bills can be
enacted under rules of the cur
rent 30-day meeting.
Two delegates from Prince
Georges County tried to save
the bills yesterday. Two from
Montgomery, the only county
with it's own local public accom-
modations law, voted with the
majority against them.
Crucial Vote
The crucial vote in the COM
mittee was 10 to 7. Delegates
Landslide G. Sasscer, jr., and
Hervey Machen, Democrats of
Prince Georges, voted against
a motion to allow the shore
counties to exempt themselves.
Voting in favor of it were Del
egates Alger Y. Barbee and
Charles w. Woodward, jr., DEM
ocrats of Montgomery. The
subsequent motion to table the
bills was by voice vote.

basis.
The farm was donated in
1915 by Mrs. Dora Shaw Will

philanthropic purposes, and
has been used for welfare
projects since then.
1t is called Ivakota because
Mrs. Williams had lived in

for fishing and swimming, open
fields for atheleticS, dormitories

Down with fraternities at
Dear Old Alma Mater.
The national fraternity grip
on the American campuses
should go the way of banjo
clubs and minstrel shows, ac-
cording to college president
Edward D. Eddy, jr.
Mr.. Eddy, who served for six
years as president of the Uni
versity of New Hampshire, yes
,erday told more than so land
grant university and college
heads that national fraternity
has outlived its day.
The educators also heard
strong warnings from Mr.. Eddy
and members of panel of four
other presidents that they
should not let the powerful Ma
sional Student Association push
shem around on matters OF
campus discipline.
On the fraternity issue, which
reals its head annually on most
campuses, Mr.. Eddy asked
Isn't it time that the Ameri-
sam university prepared a de-
cent, respectable burial for the
traditional American college
fraternity?"
- Once Served Well
sMr. Eddy charged that
alumni domination of the fra
ieraal system is a "stultifying"
influence in the university COM
munity. He pointed out, how
ever, that fraternities have
,erved a historical purpose and
served it we'll" He added that
:he student in a large university
needs a small unit as an al
'eeiance, but that fraternities
have not adopted themselves to
the demands of the new stu
lent and to a changing social
pattern"
The speaker admitted with a
grin that he himself does not
have to worry about fraterni-
ties for the moment. He is pres
dent of Chatham College, in
Pittsburgh, a small, private
wornen's college.
The abolition of fraternities
was one of a number of sug-
gestions Mr.. Eddy made for
improving the quality of under
graduate education. In this he
asserted that too many land
grant colleges are "tragically
maintaining a status quo" with
the excuse that "they have
enough to do to keep up with
the numbers, let alone keep up
with the individuals who make
up the numbers"
Panel members were generally
cool to the idea of throwing out
fraternities, but agreed with Mr..
Eddy's suggestion that univer-
sity faculties pay too much at
tention to graduate work, at the
expense of the undergraduate.
Panelists also agreed that the
new college generation is better
prepared, and that there is still
too much repetition of high
school material in college
