Parents Fight Board Rule
On Nearest School, for z

an in junction to force the
school system to accept the
children at the Lafayette

view Of the boards decision.
Mr.. Coates said he had not
decided what action to take,
but said the boards decision

fact that Mrs. Flaherty's child

of the distance.
Mrs. Flaherty did not attend

the board last week 1t would

JuryUrges
Ditch Peril
CruckdoWn

The Prince Georges County
grand jury yesterday criticized
county building and excavation
inspections, which it called
most Inadequate"
The county has had six fatal
tiles from excavation cave-ins
since last December.
The report said that county
inspectors did not have suffi-
cient background to determine
necessary safety precautions in
construction.
I'VE feel that the inspectors
should include men thoroughly
trained in construction, struc-
tural engineering, electrical en-
cheering and, above all, in ex-
cavating engineering" the
grand jury said.
The grand jury recommended
that the county commissioners
Immediately adopt a temporary
measure which would subject
contractors to prosecution if
they did not act to prevent flu
ture cave-ins. 1t urged that "a
vigorous prosecution of all vio-
lations should be pursued"
The report added, this COM
placency. which could result in
injury and death, should not be
tolerated in our growing COM
munity."
The jury also recommended
legislation which would pro-
hibit the transfer Of liquor
licenses in the county, in light
of testimony that sale prices
for such transferred licenses
have reached as high as
$35, 900"
The April-September grand
jury. which was dismissed yes
terday after Circuit Court
Judge Ralph w. Powers read
its report in open court, re-
peated the recommendation
of the previous grand jury
that liquor license transfers
should be limited to the
immediate family Of the licen-
see or to those with active,
previous interest"
The report stated that the
county had had inadequate
supervision Of the 1852 liquor
licenses because 1t had had
only one full-tlme and one
part time inspector. It now
has two full-time inspectors.

The total budget must be
passed by Congress to legalize
payment of salaries to teachers
needed for classes underway
now. AS many as IS and SO pu-
pills are handled by one teacher
in almost all senior and junior
high schools.
But Senator Byrd protested
he had been powerless to per-
init funding for teachers ear
lier. He told witnesses the COM
munity was m king him q
whipping boy for school and
welfare problems.
He waited until evening to
produce proof. in the form of a
ruling from the Assistance
Controller General, but he was
right.
Frank H. Weitzel, the control
Ter, wrote the subcommittee
that it had no legal authority
to clear spending above last
years level. Passage by one
house of an appropriations
item enables a subcommittee of
the house to permit such
spending If the item amounts
to less than the limit imposed
in the last budget.
Wins Agreement
There was no doubt in my
mind that I acted properly"
said Senator Byrd, who in Au-
gust turned down a bid from
District Commissioners to free
money for 222 teachers. But I
wanted an authoritative ruling
on whether the subcommittee
could act even at this time"
He ended the hearings last
night by drawing from Supt.
Hansen an6 Board of Educa-
ton Chairman Wesley Will
liams an agreement that the
Senator indeed had been pow
erless to help relieve the teach
er shortage earlier.
I'm going to do all I can do
to clean up hearings sometime
Saturday night" the Senator
said. He plans to call park and
recreation directors today. To-
morrow, public witnesses are
invited.
Acting Welfare Director Do
maid Brewer is expected to de-
fend administration of relief all

Commenting today on the
commissions Watergate action.
Royce Ward, vice president of
Watergate Improvements, Inc,
the developing firm, said he
was surprised at the agency's
request for a substantial re-
duction" in the buildings
heights.
This comes definitely as a
surprise to us, since we have
been under the impression that
the heights and mass were
settled under our agreement
with the Fine Arts Commission
more than a year ago.
After working sessions with
the architectural panel Of the
commission, we complied with
all the provisions of the agree
ment and, in addition, after
negotiations with the National
Park Service, we dedicated a
strip of $4,000 square feet of
land we owned to provide addi-
tional park land.
Received Approval
In our recent meetings with
the Fine Arts Commission, the
subject of discussion was the
architectural treatment, of color
and materials for the first of
the five buildings, a 314-unit
apartment building to be con-
structed at New Hampshire
and Virginia avenues.
THE zoning Commission
gave us approval last June II,
1862, on the height and mass
for the project, and the Board
Of zoning Adjustment gave us
approval of the detailed plan
May 8, this year, after a pub
lie hearing April Is.
Under the circumstances,
this comes as quite a blow to
us, especially since, according
to the terms Of the coming APP
prevails, we are not permitted
to change the plans, except for
a plus or minus 5 per cent lee
way provided for design con-
tingencies. If this leeway is ex-
ceeded, we Would be obliged
to go through the entire proc
ess all over again, from scratch,
including public hearings and
entirely new plans"

I
The Fine Arts Commission
has adopted a tough" line on
building heights adjoining park
land areas to reduce the pos
sibility Of massive" develop
ments..
For the second time in two
days, the newly organized
agency today went on record
in favor Of smaller-scale prof.
ects facing parks.
Today's objection was voiced
by the commission when it an
nounced 1t had rejected a de-
sign for an apartment project
at 2700 Adams Mill road NV,
proposed by ]. B. Shapiro. The
site adjoins the National 70
illogical Gardens and Rock
Greek Park.
May Void Permit
|
The objection may have the
effect of voiding a permit ap-
plication the developer has
had on file since before the
Districts new coming regula-
tons were made effective about
five years ago. The old coming
rules permitted more intensive
development than those now in
effect.
Yesterday the commission
opposed the current plans for
the $50 million Watergate
project in Foggy Bottom
which generally had been con-
sidered to have had substantial
commission approval as to
height and mass under a for
mula worked out in May last
year.
But the agency, in a state
ment yesterday, said it now
is its belief that previous OBJ
Ijections of the commission tc
