the word from the parlia-

This irritated Senator
Morse, who had wanted to
say something, and he i'm

So the deadly--if "live" -

Did he remember the

Unfortunately, for Senator
Bayh, 81 Senators did answer
the roll call and Senator
Smathers, Democrat of Flor

changing the rules. The

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 10
Maryland's auto inspection
scene became almost as jammed
today as a rush-hour commuter
route into Washington.
A third plan for inspecting
motor vehicles was thrown into
the legislative mill by three
lawmakers from Washington
County, who labeled their eff
fort a compromise.
Already on a collision course
were two other bills, one sup
ported by Gov. Tawes calling
for a observation-disclosures
ated inspection system and an
other offered by House Demo-
cratic Floor Leader w. Dale
Hess setting up a private ga
rage system.
State Senator George E.
Snyder, Democrat of Washing
ton County, and two of his
Democratic colleagues in the
House, r. Samuel Dillon, jr.,
and Irwin F. Hoffman, said
they didn't like either plan.
Urge Limited Plan
They proposed instead that
a limited inspection plan be
instituted. They proposed iD-
spection of all used vehicles be-
fore they could be sold and in
spection of those vehicles
stopped by State police for
obvious mechanical defects.
This plan differs from the
other two in that it would moi
require mandatory annual in
spection Of all vehicles, MOI
would windshield inspection
stickers be issued to inspected
vehicles.
All three plans, and possibly
more, will be debated at 6

250,000 square feet each and be
part of a BODYBUILDING plaza
development. The ground
breaking date was set as April
l8.
L'Enfant Plaza is a 55O-by-
350-foot square that would
open midway along a proposed
Tenth street mall in the South
west area. The 150-foot- wide
mall is to extend from Inde@
pendence avenue along a wild
ened Tenth street to an "over-
look" structure near the Maine
avenue waterfront. Mr.. Zeck-
endorf is the sole plaza de-
veloper.
Mr.. Downing said two plaza
buildings would be completed
in July and September, next
year. Completion dates for two
other plaza buildings 600,-
000-square-foot office build
ing and a 1,000-room hotel
we're put at December 1864 and
summer 1865, respectively. No
starting dates were given.
The entire project, including
parking space for 1000 cars in
underground garages at an esti-
mated cost of SIS million, was
estimated to have a total cost
of $50 million.
To Seek Bids
Mr.. Downing said he expected
the General Services Admin
istration to advertise soon for
bids for the provision of a
ion-square-foot office build
ing, which the Federal Gov
eminent would lease from a
private owner. Mr.. Zeckendorf
would hope to win this con-
tract, he indicated, and would
construct a building for this
purpose east of L'Enfant Plaza.
A site between Sixth,
Seventh. D and E streets S.W.,
now partly controlled by Mr.,
zeckendorf, would be used for
this building, the spokesman
said.
One part of the block Mr.
Zeckendorf does not yet con-
troll is owned by the Fifth Bsp-
tist Church and is now being
acquired by RIA for lease to
the New Yorker, the spokesman
said. Another part. which was
to have been sold to st. Dom
inic's Church, is owned b.
RIA and, presumably, may be
leased to Mr.. Zeckendorf.

Led TO Abuses

But ne said neither could he
support Mr.. Hess plan for
inspection by private garages.
He noted that Maryland once
had a private garage inspec-
ton system that led to fragrant
abuses and was finally aban-
doned.
The Snyder plan calls for
setting up inspection stations
in building which would be
leased by the Department of
Motor Vehicles. Senator Snyder
said his plan would make it
illegal to operate a car with
defective lights, brakes. steer
ing, horn, door handles, ex-
haust systems or window glass.
State Police spotting an obvi-
Gus defect would stop vehicles
and require the driver to get
an inspection within 10 days.
Failure to have the vehicle in
spected and the defects cor
rected could lead to revocation
Of the vehicles registration.
The provision requiring in
spection Of used cars before
they are sold is aimed at taking

An additional land price of
I$l.5 million or more has been
mentioned.
Today's closed meeting with
the redevelopment agency came
on the heels of a Zeckendorf-
sponsored news conference at
the Washington Hotel last
night, at which his representa-
tives reviewed the firms South
west construction plans.
Representatives said Mr..
zeckendorf has proposed that
he be permitted TO build 500
additional residential units in
two extra high-rise buildings
in the Town Center project at
Fourth and M streets S.W.
In addition, he wants ap-
proval to provide 10000 square
feet of office space, 10000
square feet of stores, and three
smaller buildings, including a
gasoline station, in the Town
Center area.
That construction would
more than double the 512
apartment units originally per-
mitted and now completed. The
stores, offices and additional
apartments would be built in
stead of $4,000 square feet of
shopping center space originally
planned, a spokesman said.
Apartments Favored
More apartments have been
favored for the area to give it
more life"
The Redevelopment Land
Agency previously emphasized
that it wanted Mr.. Zeckendorf's
agreement on price before oe-
Gliding to favor a change in the
renewal plan. Thus, the out
come of today's meeting may
determine whether RIA will
propose such a change.
The agency had indicated
earlier that between 800 and
500 additional apartments were
being considered.
Formal approval by the Dis
trict Commissioners and the
National Capital Plannin g
Commission would be needed
before work could start.

ference, Cornelius M. Downing
