Tennis ()ourts

The council received bids for re­construction of tennis courtll, which came to some $5,000 over the esti­mated costs Included in the bud­get. The council will consider its next step at a special meeting this Monday night.

The council appointed Charles Collins of Empire Place to fill the unexpired term of Donald Volk on the city's Advisory Planning Board. Volk has left the city for a year's time to take advanced education work at the Univel'llity of Hawaii. Postponed to next Monday's meet­ing were other appotnl:lllenta to the APB and the city's Park and RecreaUon Advisory Board. ·

City manager James Giese in­formed the council that - the State Roads Coinmlsslon has offered to provide a traffic signal at the in­tersectlon of Kenilworth Ave. and Crescent lld. If the city pays one­

. half the Installation cost, estima­ted at $7,535, and pays the electric bill for operating the signal <about $300 a year).

Pr.rlmewr Road The council heard a statement

from Charles T. McDonald oppos­Ing the Inclusion of $42.000 In the bond Issue for acquisition of rights­of-way for the perimeter road. His opposition was based on his belief that (1) the developers of the property being served by the perimeter road should pay for the road and <2) thl' perimeter road was a project "far beyond the prac­tical and economical ability of ac­complishment for a city the size of Greenbelt," citing the proposed "costly" bridges over the Beltway and Parkway. , McDonald felt that it was not fair to the bulltup sub-divisions to use general tax money to pay for a road that would not be of direct benefit to them.

In reply, Gil'l!e Mid that the $42,000 was for purchase of rights­at-way throug!h thl't'e small tracts whose size would not permit ex­tensive development aft~ the perl­imt"te-r road was built. Hugh Jas­court thought It Wll8 "dangerous talk" to have a bond Item euppor-ted or rejected on the basis of whet1ler it helped a particular aub­divlslon. 11le question should be, he said, whether the Item Is of genCT&i benefit to Greenbelt.

politan press, six organizations In the coalition have Indicated that they will not support the slate, say­ing that' the group "does not repre­sent a broad base of citizen parti­cipation, although some of the can­didates are highly qualified.'' Rival slates are expected to be fonned for the choice of the electorate in November.

Leadeni of the coalition had hoped for the nomination of a bal­anced ticket that would gain the support not only of all spon~.rs of the convention but of the county· comml.ssloners as well. The com­missioners can place names on the ballot. other slates must be back­ed by 2,000 petition signatures.

County voters will decide if they wAnt a home nile charter drafted and if so, whom they wish to write it, during the Nov. ~ balloting. If the question carries, the proposed charter Itself will be V(\ted on in November 1970.

City Council Votes Dowa 811 C•trol OrdinaiiCe

:- by Sid. Kaetaer The proposed city ordinance on firearms control w~ op.

posed by a majority of those present at a crowded, relatively orderly hearing before city council, Monday night. After Coun· cilmen Gerald Gough and Bill Hoff failed in efforts to keep consideration of the ordinance alive by tabling it, the coun­cil voted the ordinance down by a vot~ of 4 t~ 1, Gough cas­ting the lone vot~ in favor. Gough said that he voted for the bill, despite- its deficiencies, because he favored in prin· ciple some type of gun control legislation that would reduce the misuse of firearms.

Other councilmen sympathized with the latter goal, but expressed doubt. that this measure would provide tbt! reu:tedy. Councilman Francis White ·said that what was needed is control over the sale of guns. Mayor Edgar Smith said that etrectlve control cannot be ac· complisbed thlrough one local juris­diction and that when the ordi­nance was originally proposed It was II8IIUJDed that other jurisdic­tions would pass similar measures.

The appi'Oxlmately twenty-five speakel'll for the opposition Identi­fied thmnselves. generally as gun club membel'll and hunters, while about eight supporters of the or­dinance urged some form of con­trol. Al'gUJ!lents raised by the op­position were that a need for the law had not been shown; It would penalize the · law-abiding citizen. as contrasted to, the true criminal; the ordinance Itself was poorly drawn up, or Infringed on a legis­lative area already pre-empted by the state; uie chief of pollee wouid be given arbitrary powers over private property; and that preaent criminal laws wen sufficient If fully appUed. Speakers for the ordinance cited the eurvey reported by . Senator Joseph Tydings wbleb showed tbe U. 8. greatly ahead of other COUDt.rlee In · the death rate due to ftreanns. They referred to the reeulta of nationwide polls In wbleb a majority of citizens favor ICJIH.fOftlt. ef-pn ·eontiW. Mel aa.o took ~ wfth feara expre.ro by the oppoidtlon that guns would be taken aWIQ' ~er.

~

Among the more detailed state­menu were those by Freeman Mor­gan, secretary of the Greenbelt Gun Club, and Robert Noble, of the 12th Precinct Rille Club. The for­mer's point. were that the ordin­ance would be of no value in iden­tifying the potential criminal, that it was unfair to shooters, collectors and tftxpayen, and that It was re­dundant since state legislation was pending In this area. He mentioned in · pasling that a practice range had, until recently, been available in Greenbelt for training people in the use of ftrearms, even the Maryland branch of the Minute­men.

Noble listed what he felt were weakneiiSCII in the ordinance as drawn up; It would compel a crim­inal to Incriminate himself; no ap­peal from forfeiture was provided for; there Wll8 no valid reason for listing one's profession; certain foreign guns could not be easily registered. He stated that an ex­Isting Federal firearms law pro­vides for a fine of $2000 and/or a five year jail term for a convicted criminal using firearms, though it is not commonly enforced.

One spectator asked "Would the council point out what It's trying to prot«t!" Councilman Gough replied that the need for t\rearm !eglslatlon was quite aj)parent; he noted that the Sullivan law of New York City, a fairly strict gun con­trol Jaw, - responsible for New York's low IUD death rate and ad­ded that "we are not going to take your guns away from you • that's a bugaboo thrown up." He then asked the audience "Would you favor any gun controls?" Only "NO" was heard from a few.

Trd l!lvel"''tt attempted to rPfute Gou~h's l"''marks, quoting two It'll· arnt<' Jpgai l't'ports as casting doubt on thP Sullivan law and as say· lng that firearm legtsiation should n•iginate at the atate level ratht'r thllll the local iewl. He charl!"d that the Metrooolltan Council of (",overnments <COO) has puahed l:tws that are "seemingly aimed at the law-abiding dtiz('n". Another

opponent questioned whether the list of registered gun OWJie1'l would be made known to out.ldet'l, who might then know wblch· homee were "easy pickings" tbll brougl\t loud applause. J01epb Hanyok objected to the chief of pollee having the right to say whe­ther be should own a gun, 118 he put It; be also denied that 11111 law-abiding citizens committed the recent assaaslnatlons on the na­tional scene.

Pro-Ordlnanee Allan Lencbek, an gftlcer of the

American Civil Liberties Union, read part of a statement wblph supported ~gun control legislation as being necessary "to foster the free and fearless debate on whlr.b our free society rests"; it said such legislation is not only consistent with the "right to bear arms" pro­vision of the. Second Amendment In the Blll of Right., but is "ablo­Iutely mandatory for the etreetlw functioning of a constltutlonaliJ free. aoclety.. . . Where armed citi­zens ftaunt guns In ~e midst ot race conJIIct, or labor-managemeat controvel'llies, or political turmoil, citizens who bokl mlaorlty or un­popular opinions on tbeee lsinMe can be cowed lato ·silence."

A- few speakere took middle ot the road PQiitloJII. Jobn LeiJII. suqeeted that 11portmnen wnuld have to submit to lOIRe form of le­lfsladaD.'-utt··atUJe._,U.. Mired QueetloiM to clufty ........ viiiOIII of the Ol'dfaallee, RCh • whether a puel of cltUells lhoulll not be empowered to review pollel declstons. Another member of tbt Greenbelt Gun Club stated be wu not against all gun Ieglalatlon, but felt action should be taken at the state level to ·allow atandardisatlon. Bruce Sherman expressed approval of a suggestion made earlier that a rifle range be set ·up In Green• belt; at the same time he thought an ordinance should be considered by the city because of the posai• biUty of accident., saying "I'm not afraid of 1'\lglsterlng my guns with the police, and I don't think an:Y" one else here ts."

Sincerest Thanlcs The Prince George's Young Re­

publicans have always had many members who hall from Greenbelt. They have usually been among the most active, sensitive and friendly people in our ranks. Thus, our organization has always known Greenbelt as a friendly town. But never did we fully realize the tru~ depth of Its weU·dcserved civic pride or the extent of its warm, friendly atmosphere until we join­ed its Labor Day Festival activi­ties.

The help and consideration shown by each o,. you, in particu­lar by Leo Gerton. Rita Fishel', Cathy Foster and Dave Lange. made our game booths and Crab Feast a successful experiment that was not only a nonpartisan public service, but also fun ... even for our workers! Problems abounded, of course. but the unflagging good will demonstrated by the Commit­tee and the citizens of Greenbelt made Labor Day for us a truly en­joyable and unforgettablt• holiday. \Ve hope you feel the same way w~ .

To each and every one of you. we offpr our sincerest thanks and every goou wish for future Labor Day successes. With a town and a committee like yours. I don't Sl'C how you can fail.

Selection of Delegates I think we should all take to

heart the words of Richard Homan, writing in the Washington Post far September 3, about the Demo­cratic convention.

"The people (of Maryland) had played no part In the selection of the delegates or in the detennlna­tion of their presidential choice.''

The fact that our delegates were chosen in 1966, two years before the candidates and Issues were known should be a shock to all of us. And the problem is not In the Democratic camp alone.

Action should be taken by our public servants to rectify this. Lack of action will prove that we have no public servants, only pub­lic leeches. Edward Zalmlller

License People, Not Guns I am keenly concerned about the

proposed gun registration. not on­ly in Greenbelt but at all levels of the government. It appears to me that licensing may be necessary but the gun should not be licensed.

Since the object of gun control is to keep guns from persons who should not have them, I think that the person should be licensed to possess guns. much like a person is licensed to operate an automobile.

In this way a list of 1,ouns i.vould not be available for the enemy in time of war, but persons possessing guns without a license could be easily identified and apprehended.

8HI Board Aleria Membership To Pro~lems of A1in1 Ho•es

by Dave I.-19

The Board of Directors of Greenbelt Homes. Inc. issued a statement at its meeting last Thursday indicating a new awareness of ~cumulating structural problems and a corres­ponding acceleration of its planning efforts. The entire state­ment is published in this issue. The Board noted the need for a master plan, partly to determine how GHI's limited reserves ~nd borrowing. power could best be used. Such a plan might mclude programs for capital improvements, new construction, and acquisition.

Methods of tl'nanclng will be carefully considered ' as a major

program may require substantial borrowing, in addition to the con· struction loan being negotiated. for the approved 2~ townhouses. The ·result should be an attractive per­manent community with far less maintenance needs. The Board plans to actively seek members' comments and Ideas. It Intends to hold two budget hearings, at least one orientation meeting, and a special membership meeting.

Bruce Bowman, Manager of' Twin Pines Savings and Loan All­soclation, de6crlbed another finan­cial problem to the board. In or­der to maintain sufllclent reserves for withdrawals, Twin Plne6 has had to temporarily stop making new home loans. The usual sea­sonal withdrawals for real estate taxee, school clothe., and tuition

. payments and short-term teacher loans normally 111re met by Twin Pines line of credit at Suburban Trust. This year the limit of $100,000 was reached for the !ll.rst time. The situation will beO sub· atantlally ·relieved when the Mary­land Share Insurance Corporation finally grants Insurance to Twin Pines savings accounts as deposits are expected to Increase considera­bly. The Board discussed the pro­blem and referred the entire area to Its Finance Committee. It Is hoped that even a temporary solu· tlon can be found soon.

Director John O'Reilly presented a report from the Select Commit­tee which proposes a study of members based on existing GHI office records. The study Is ex­pected to provide basic Informa­tion concerning the length· of resi­dency, the age and Income levels, and the areas with the highest turnover rate. The manager was requested to investigate the pos­sibility of a similar study by an organization to avoid the estimated cost of $700. New members of the Committee are Jar!< Downs, Rich· ard Cole, and Board Member Kath­erine Keene.

In other areas, the Board ap­proved 12 new members, rc-estab· liRhed 13 Board committPPS, <'xam­ined thP Junl' Operating Stah'­ments. and discussed compalnf:.q from four members. Th•• clothes­line problem of 30 Court of Ridge Rnrtd will bP <liscussed at th•• next meeting, on S<'ptcmbr•r 26 .

WAR'NING With the lowering of the level

of the lake a number of persone have been observed digging and removing f.resh water clams from the lake bottom. Health Department officials advise that clama may be more easily con­taminated than fish and tlhat while there Ia no Indication that clame from Greenbelt Lake are contaminated there Is also no aasurance that they are not. It 11 therefore recommended that theae clanur not be eaten or re· moved from the lake.

Coope11tive Apartment For Senior Citizens

A cooperative apartment house with dining facilities for senior citizens will be started In Green­belt In 1969. According to plans, the facilities will be located near the Greenbelt Shopping Center and will serve low and moderate In­come people. It will be built with

· a loan from the Federal Depart­ment of Housing and Urban De· 'velopment. (HUD).

The cooperative will have com­plete studio and one-bedroom apartments, plus a central dining room and recreation 'lOOms. The building will be air-conditioned. It will be designed for people 62 years of age or older. Maximum Income for Individual residents iJ currently $',700, and $11,800 for resident couples .

It Is expected that monthly char­ges will be about $80 for a studio apartment and $100 for a one-bed­.room apartment. Luncheon and dinner will be served ·at cost The govemment will pay part of the monthly charges for Individuals or couples unable to pay the full charge.

Representatives of HUD have visited Greenbelt and looked at three possible locations for the cooperative. They say that a need must be demonstrated for such a cooperative - that enough people want to join. The sponsors are beginning the membership drive now, even though It will be a year before it can be completed.

The Senior Citizens Housing Co­operative has been organized to own !J.nd operate the facility. Mem­bership In the cooperative will cost $100 per family. A $25 deposit will place a person or a couple on the waiting list and <'nable him to par­ticloatc In planning what is to be built.

Sponsoring members of the co­operative are Bruce Bowman, George Reeves, Kenneth Buker. Charles Schwan, Charles McDon­ald, Leo ·Walder, Edward Thorn­hill, and James Cassels.

Greenbelt Picture Displayed by City

PLANNING THE GHI FUllJRE

Many Important changes have taken place since the first homes were built In Greenbelt. Moreover, we must anticipate additional significant changes. To· accommodate to them and to the passing of time since our homes were constructed, GHI has already taken cer­tain steps. Several years ago a Long Range Planning Committee was commissioned to make recommendations concerning future operations. Tbe corporation has begun certain major capital improvement pro­grams-replacement of roofs, replacement of heat and hot water return lines and major overhauling of boilers. It has initiated a modest buil­ding program. Currently, a S<'lect committee· is studying all the changes that have occurred, or reasonably may be anticipated, both within and without the community, to measurt' their Impact on Gill.

Original Greenbelt Is 30 years old and the frame homes !If'(' more than 25 yPars old. Despite conscientious efforts of GHI management over the years to furnish needed maintenance, the age of our homes now necessitates our providing major additional servir.•s. These facts mal«• nrrPssrtry the nccl'leration of comprehensive planning, including major maintPrtancp and lmprovPmrnt progr3.m~.
