Toll Hedges, Screens or Windbreoks
By WILBUR h. YOUNGSrAN
at.r e..ra.n zS,.a.


Quite often the back yard Of
the home needs screening for
privacy. The walled gardens of
yesterday are too costly for the
modern su burba n gardener,
consequently most inclosed
gardens today depend upon
shrubbery. Such gafdens offer
many possibilities for interest
ing design and treatm ent.
Those same hedges or walls Of
green, can equally well serve
other purposes. such as screen
ing out unsightly views and
provide windbreaks that reduce
the force of winter winds. The
latter is becoming increasingly
important in the newer hous-
ing developments where winds
can add to the cost Of heating.
Such rows of shrubbery have
other benefits that are worth
noting. Strong winds take too
much from tender plants and
in q protected situation they
make their best showing. In
closed gardens provide sub
stantial backgrounds for flow
ers and shrubs. They are
q adapted to outdoor living
rooms, dining areas. and pro-
vide a much more restful situa-
ton that could possibly attain
in an open garden.
Basis Of Selection
The choice Of material TO use ,
in inclosing a garden should
be based on the ease Of care,
the desired height, and the
space available. Some hedges or
screening plants need several
trimmings q year If they are
to be kept within bounds and
in good condition, others need
none, while q few require only
once q year trimming.
The mature height varies
greatly from q 4-foot ever
green barberry to q is to 20
foot pyramidal Chinese juni-
per.
Some. hedge plants are very
broad at the base. taking UP
far too much space in the
smaller gardens. Others are al
most columnar in habit of
growth and require only a few
feet of space.
Some Are Disease Free
In addition q to habit Of
growth it is important to con-
slider their relative free dom

Red Cross
Plans Area
Fund Drive

The Washington area Red
Cross chapters have informed
the United Givers Fund they
will conduct a supplemental
campaign because proceeds
from the 1861 UGF drive will
not give them the money they
need.
Mark Sullivan. jr.. president
Of UGF, told a board meeting
yesterday Of the Red Cross
plans.
UGF has raised 81 per cent
of its $7.8 million goal. The
$7,571,000 pledged is about
$500,000 more than was raised
last year.
The figure set this year was
$1.738, $40.
Based on the percentage of
goal attained, UGF officials
estimate Red Cross would re-
ceive about $1,672, ,000-$66, 900
less than they hoped for. Red
Cross received $1,666,000 last
year.
Red Cross officials have told
UGF they hope to raise about
$500 in a supplemental drive.
In other action yesterday, the
UGF board elected Donald S.
Bittinger, UGF campaign chair
man in 1861, to succeed John
T. Barnett as senior vice
president.

Fishing Pact
Okuy Sought
BY the Associated Press

Congressional approval was
sought yesterday for a Mary
land-Virginia compact which
places the Potomac Rivers
once-controversial fishery un-
der control Of a joint agency
of the two States.
Representative Tuck, Demo-
crat of Virginia, introduced a
joint resolution that would
grant the consent of Congress
to the 1858 treaty which has
been ratified by General AS
semblies of both States.
Such resolutions normally are
referred to the House and SEN
ate Judiciary Committees for
consideration.
The compact sets up a six
member agency, three fr m
each State, to regulate fishing
ON the Potomac. 1t replaces a
1785 agreement unilaterally alb
rogated by the 1857 Maryland
General Assembly.
: Under the new compact,
Maryland's more stringent con-
servation laws will be adopted
for both States and both will
be required to appropriate
money for development of oys-
tiers and other resources as well
as to share joint responsibility
for policing the river.

RICHMOND. Feb. 2S.-The
city of Alexandria today asked
for broad powers to go into the
business Of supplying Jet avia-
ton fuel to Dulles International
Airport.
But State Senator Arimstead
L. Boothe of Alexandria pledged
to the Senate General Law.
Committee that the powers
would never be used If private
industry goes into the business
from the Virginia side of the
Potomac River.
"The incidence of this bill
was sudden and immediate only
about two weeks ago." Mr.
Boothe said, when the Alex
andria City Council learned the
United States Corps OF En-
gineers would not dredge the
Potomac River to a depth OF
IS feet unless Alexandria de-
velops an active port"
He said the council learned
that the Potomac Service Corp

resolution recommending COM

Action Done by Motion
After several months delay,
the Alexandria School Board
approved compulsory attend
ance February IA but, accord
ing to City Attorney v. Floyd
Williams, the action was taken
by motion and not by resolu-
ton. The boards action may
have been improper, he said.
Mrs. Dan Kerbel, vice chair
man of the school board, said
that the intention of the board
was clear. Il urge that action
be initiated tonight, she said.
The council voted unani-
mously to await a formal reso-
luton from the school board,
which next meets March IA.
The delay leaves Alexandria as
the only community in North

Rule Barring D. c. Lawyers
Upheld by Maryland Court

by the chief judge of the court
Of appeals to hear the Mont
gomery case.
"For many centuries" said
Judge Duckett, "the various
courts and judges have exer-
cised the power of determining
who were or who were not
qualified to be attorneys in
their respective courts and to
admit or reject them accord
ingly."
Merely Restrict"
II do not believe the rule
is inconsistent or unreason-
able" Judge Duckett said. "The
rule merely restricts and con-
trolls the right to practice .
by requiring the accessibility
Of at least one attorney in
every case.
"(The rule) is merely a rea-
sonable detail for the efficient
administration and orderly
function of the court under
its modern and ever-increasing
practice. To require less would
be a return to the horse and
buggy days and would unduly
delay the efficient administra-
ton of justice"
Mr.. Bastian and Mr.. Rowan.
who are residents of Mont
gomery but who maintain their
law offices in the District,
claimed the rule is unreason-
able. They argued that their
offices are only IS miles away,
yet they are barred from
practice in Montgomery while
a Maryland attorney whose
office might be $50 miles away
at the other end of the State
could practice in Montgomery
without having a Montgomery
office.
A ruling has been on the
books in the District for some
years that lawyers from outside
the city must have offices with
in the District to be eligible to
practice here.

Fairfax County has been try
ing to do what the Legislature
already has permitted for two
other areas. 1t has passed a
city charter for the merged city
of Virginia Beach and Princess
Anne County and a Senate
committee yesterday approved
a House-passed charter for the
consolidated city of South Nor
folk and Norfolk County.
Halt Anticipated
1t was generally known, how
ever, that the General Assem-
bly, would "call a halt" when
Fairfax legislation came up. A
subcommittee headed by Dele
gate Lawrence H. Hoover OF
Harrisonburg recommended the
tWo-year moratorium.
Your subcommittee unani-
mously favors a continuation
of city government and county
government as they have been
developed in Virginia. 1t further
subscribes unanimously to the
doctrine so frequently enunci-
ated by the Supreme Court OF
Appeals of Virginia that urban
areas need city government
and rural areas need county
government" the committee
said.

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 28.-Judge
o. Bowie Duckett today upheld
a Montgomery court regulation
which says District lawyers
must have a Maryland office
before they can practice before
the Circuit Court in Montgom-
cry County.
Judge Duckett ruled that the
regulation imposed by Mont
gomery Circuit Court judges sis
a reasonable rule for the good
government and regulation of
the proceedings of the court. "
The ruling grew out of COM
plants in Montgomery about
"sundowning" by government
lawyers who practiced in the
County without maintaining a
bona fide" office and COM
plants about District lawyers
being hard to reach.

ciation, which tried unsuccess-

A key phrase in legislation
drafted by the Committee on
Counties, Cities and Towns,
which was reported to the
House today, is:
Provided, however, that this
act shall not apply to any an
nexation suit or suits instituted
by a city or town against a
county or counties prior to the
effective date hereof :"
The bill carries an emergency
clause which means it would
become effective Immediately
after it is signed by the Cover
nor. 1t could not be expected
to pass the House before to-
morrow or Friday at the earli-
est. and it still would have to
travel through a committee and
floor action in the Senate. The
General Assembly is scheduled
to adjourn on March 10.
Kills Other Bills
In offering the bill the COM
mittee killed eight other bills it
had before it dealing with an
nexation and consolidation
including all pending measures
relating to Fairfax County.
The decision was reached
after Deegates John c. Webb
Democrat, and Glenn A. Burk-
lund, Republican, both of Fair
fax, fought for approval OF
legislation to permit Fairfax
County to merge with one of its
towns or to adopt a charter to
incorporate as a city and thus
ward off future annexation.
Their arguments were coun-
tered by Delegates James M
Thomson of Alexandria, who
contended, also without sue
cess, that his bill to allow his
city to annex Fairfax County
territory should be approved.

In general, their objections
were based on broad condemna-
ton powers that would be given
a proposed Alexandria Port

to go into the transportation Of
goods by trucks, railroads and
pipeline transmission.

Seven Units Vote
Seven of the leagues nine
local units voted, with all seven
favoring charter in principle
and three wanting to go along
with the Project Marlboro Com
mittee. The two units not vot-
ing said they could not get to
the meeting or would 60 along
with whatever the majority did,
according to Mrs. Adele Krav-
itz, chairman of the Local Gov
ernment Research Committee.
The leagues next step is to
call a meeting next month Of
all county civic and other
groups and try to evaluate pub
lie opinion on the matter, Mrs.
Kravitz said.
What we do next will de-
pend on whether there is
enough support shown for
charter, and the degree of this
support" Mrs. Wolf said.
The league 10 years ago
backed a charter government
drive that was defeated at the
polls.
Form Undetermined
John B. Murray, executive di-
rector of the Project Marlboro
Committee, said he was pleased
at the league vote. While his
group backs a specific makeup
of charter government, he
pointed out that its organiza-
ton would be mapped out by
a charter commission. The
commission candidates would be
on the ballot in November
along with the charter question
itself.

of the charter government does
