CITY COUNCIL HAS TROUBLE WITH S.Kfein Says No, ADVISORY · BOARD APPOINTMENTS But Giant Says. Go

Financing Program ~------------------by AI Skolnik Beltway Plaza Shopping Center

will get a traffic light, but it will be without the participation of S. Klein. According to City Manager James Giese, Giant Foods will bear the cost of the installation of the traf­fic signal, estimated at $7,000. Giant Foods had first reported that S. Klein would share the costs, but last week S. Klein advised that it had made no such commitment.

The board liberalized the finan­Cing program for home improve­ments by covering additions, In­cluding porches and powder rooms, as well as kitchens and bath­rooms. Loans starting at $500 can be made at the installment inter­est rate of 3% percent. Large loans can be extended over as long a period as 10 years.

Berkolsky Triu•phs Ia lew York Recital

The appointment of George Neumann and Joseph Comproni to the city's Advisory Planning Board brought an immediate ad­verse reaction from APB Chairman Harvey Geller at last Monday's city council meeting. Geller termed the appointments "political" and said that the APB was originally designed as a non-partisan group to attract the best talent in town to help advise the city on planning. Geller charged that some top-notch planning experts were skipped over in the appointments of Neumann and Comproni.

The city council was not unan­imous in its decision, as Mayor Edgar L. Smith and councilman William Hoff voted against the appointments. Neumann served previously on the APB in 1963. Comproni is a former Greenbelt Homes, Inc. board director. They fill the vacancies created by the move of John Gibson from the

city and the desire of Mrs. Velma

Chapmjln not to serve another term.

Geller, upset by the appoint­ments, tendered his resignation as APB chairman on the spot. Mayor Smith, however, prevailed upon· him to reconsider.

Tho council also had trouble with another advisory board -the 5-man Personnel Advisory Bc:;.•d, tut this time tllc p;·oblem was lack of qualified candidates. For over a year this Board has ·failed to function due to lack of membership. In fact, the city man­ager drew up an ordinance permit­ting the city council to serve as its own advisory board on person­nel matters so that needed chang­es in the city's personnel plan could bo initiated.

Councilman Hoff, however, prp­vailed upon the council to make one more attempt to get qualified persons for the Board before ad­opting the ordinance. He suggest­ed that each councilman be re­sponsible for naminrr one mf'mbC'r to the Board.

The Greenbelt City Council, at its Monday night meeting, com­mended Giant Foods for its action and agreed to pay the cost of maintaining the light after instal­lation, estimated at. $100 to $150 a year. The decision is subject to approval of the city solicitor, since till' light will he installed at the intprsrction of 62nd Avenue ra Berwyn Heights Rd.) and Green­belt P.oad a (county highway).

The question of a traffic signal at Beltway Plaza had been dead­locked since August 1964 over the question . of who would foot the bilL The contesting parties have been the State Roads Commission ( SRCl nhd the developer of Belt­way Plaza - First National Real­ty Corporation . <FNRC).

In another traffic light matter, tho council agreed to pay one­fourth of the cost of the signal light recently installed at Edmon­ston Rd.

As the basis for loans, members must submit detailed plans along with contractor's or builder's e~­

It rejected, however, a proposal that additional storage area be pro­vided for trailers and boats up to ·an overall length of 30 feet. The board felt that this was going be­yond the original purpose of the park which was to keep small car trailers from becoming eyesores in front of homes.

The board also adopted revised storage shelter specifications rec­ommended by the Standards Com­mittee. The major change from previous regulntions !nvcilved some relnxatlon of the location of sheds attaehPd to homes. Also metal sh<'ds were approved. For further Information, contact the GHI of­fire.

Used Car Inspection Law

The following account of Martin Berkofsky's New York recital debut in Town Hall on Saturday, Decem­ber 11, 1965 appeared In the N­York Times of the next day. Ber­kofsky, woh has lived most of his 22 years in Greenbelt, graduated from the Peabody Conservatory last season and is currently work· ing there for an Artist's Diploma under Konrad Wolff and Walter Hautz!g. The review, written by Allen Hughes, appeared under the headline: "Berkofsky gives a piano recital; Student excels in Mozart in Debut at Town HaiL"

"It was a fine beginning for a pianil!t who should have· a busy and productive future ahead of him. Mr. Berkofsky seems to have made a good start toward acquiring everything a success­ful concert . artist needs. He can draw great volumes of ringing tone from the piano, a.s he did In Llszt's Sonata in B minor, but he also hl\IJ a wide range of dynamics ·at his command. ae reduced the sound to dramatic quietness In the Llszt ~·

when it was appropriate. to dQ 80 and found other qualltlel of gentle tone to use In Scarlatti's Sonata in· e mhlor-,-f;; >i;IMI~l!llltte ro~­PIBJio and Mozart's Fan~WJY In C minor, K. 475.

"His Interpretation ot the Mo­zart, lncidentslly, wa.s the most assertive and compelling of all this reviewer has heard this sea­son. Another Fant!ljly, this one by Alan Hovhaness (Qpus 15), was given an equally engrossing per­formance. The program also in­cluded Scarlatti's Sonata in C major, L. 104, which was done with all the crispness and brightness one could wish for.

"Indeed there was hardly any­thing to quibble about in the recital. Its varying stylistic demands, even that of the DPbussy mtisic, were met with distinction, and :'lfr. Ber­kofsky played all the works as though he both understood and en­joyed them.

Th(' council tnolt final action ac­cepting the recommendations of APB that the city deny the r"­qucst of two Boxwood homeown­era for pPrmission to purchmw from the develop!'!" open space land that Is scheduled for dedication to the ~!ty. The city solicitor also ruled that the city could not 1\gree to the sale by the developer unless the c•ty declared the land to be aurpltJI as Is required with the ~ale of any city property.

Twelve police officers and the Chief of Pollee were congratulated by the Mayor for having attended one or more In-service training schools during 10011. Every police officer in the department wu R

partlcipnn•; in many instances tlw attendance of the officPr wns dur­Ing his otT-duty time.

builrlinRs. Much of this open spnce ltlnd Is used for landseaping· lawns, trePs, Pte some is US<'d for parking facllitiPs and driveways, and some Is used for athletic facili-ties. The City Council offered to purchase some• of this opPn space land, as deslgnntPd by the School Board plan­llt'l"s. ThP City woul'l.:"tnin ownership of the land but would let the Hoard of !':duration liSP it for athletics, recrentlonal activities, landscap­in~. sirlewallts, """"" roads and other open spnce purpos!'s at no rental cost to the School Board. ~'urther, the City would mnlntain this land or permit the Board of Education to nialntaln this land as the Board snw fit.

The City cstim11ted that this offer might involve five acres of the senior high school site and live acres of the junior high school site at the lake. The cost of purchasing this land mljrht be as much u $200,000.

The City further offered to make available any portion of the G7-acre Greenbelt I..ake Park for school-related activities and purposea. Here again, thr intent Is not one of giving the Board land but of permitting the school to use the lnnd. A similar arrnngemmt already exists where St. Hugh's School and Ccntrr School use Braden Field.

Since both tlw Hoard of Edurntlon nnd t!H' City S<'I"VP !lw llllhllc nnd since this land is owned by the public, therr is no nppan•nt conflict In this otTer.

Representatives of municipal and county police departments met at th<• lleadqu:>rt<'rs of thP Maryland Slnh• Poliee, l'iltesvlll<•, Md., on Dec. 15, for a briefing on Mary­and's new motor vehicle lnspPctinn lnw to go into effect Jnn. 1, 1966.

The new law provides for the in­spection, by licensed stations, of used can before they can be sold and reregistered, and for police to stop cars with defe~tive equipment and to 1118ue a work order for cor­rection of thl' defect within 10 days.

Chief r..ane would like to point out that If. certification by a 11-eensrd Inspection station is not received within thirty days, the cnr owner wlil he reported to the De­partment of Motor Vehicles for Immediate suspension of registra­tion.

.Twenty-Five Yea.rs Ago Airplanes were zooming over Greenbelt both day and night.

They came from Schrom Airport (across the 8-W Parkway, where the Capital Beltway now is, neither of these roads being in existence at that time) where ten students were taking an advanced course in day and night flying. given by the Civil Aero· nautics Authority. Letters to the editor of the Co-operator ex-1Jressed fears of a possible accident, and complained of the

no!se problem .... Greenbelt residents who were also Federal employees were

;o~llowe<l to participate in local political affairs and were exempt from the restrictive provisions of the Hatch Act, according to

·a ruling of the U. S. Civil Service Commission ... Greenbelt Consumer Service had reduced its loan from

Co>1sumer Distribution Corporation from $50.000 to $28,000. The fo0j store averaged well over S-1.000 a week, and had an

operating cost of 12.2~ of sales ... Adult Education night classes were given in the elementary

Recent!)·. the WMA bus to Grnen­belt was halted by a strike. Rising at an unwontedly early hour, I groped my way through breakfast, bundled the ·baby into the car. and dropped my husband off at work; all in plenty of time to meet my babysitter at the College Park stop of a non-striking bus line. In short. it was a piddling strike that hardly made a dent In my day,

Now if you W3nt to experience a really superior strike, you must go to France.

"All France Paralyzed by General Strike" is a headline frequently· Pncountered. Don't believe lt. The French love to strike, understand and appreciate strikes, and have refined the problem of living with strikes into a minor art form.

Returning from England to G<'neva a few years a~o. we dis­t•mbarkcd at Calais after crossing tl1<• Channel. to be 'met by the news d!' a general strike in France. We panicked immediately.

Then• were six of us: my hus~ band and I. two young- cnlldren. a b:1by and the jeune fille-that use­ful EuropPan institution whose f"n<'lion is to help Madame with t!J<• housework and th(• care of the ...

cric•d a clwerfui, !Jiuf'-clad dock worlh'l'. ponncin~ on our luggage while I clutched the children and moaned helplessly "My God, we're stranded. What shall we do?;' Bien Sur, there was a general strike.

We joined forces with an English r~ck-and-roll combo practldng In the next compartment--tour young­sters planning La take Europe by storm and r~urn home as famous ns the Beatles. Guitars were passed around; so were cigarettes and a pocket flask. "Yeah. yeah, yeah!" we r<»lred, drowning out the train whistle.

The qu:1rtet worried about us, and affered the name of their hotel. "lt's for artista in the Profession­but we'll vouch for you."

We wrote It down in case of need, ll.lthough <immobilized by our prob­IPm luggage) we were hoping to find a hotel near the station.

At midnight, Paris -- and no porters. We unloaded the baggage onto··f't!1c platform. and there I left husband, children, and tlie girls, and went in se11rch of n hotel.

"Accommodations for seven per­sons? No madame, I am desolated:' My luck improved on a side street, wh<'re aner several failures I per­suaded a small hotel to put us up, \Ve marched there en masse, trun­dling luggage and sleepy children on baggage c;~rts borrowed from the station.

Tne two girls shared a double bed with th(• baby in a garret, and cots WPrt' spt up for the boys. My hus!Jand and I were permitted to occupy the room usually reserved for "transients.' wilD rented 'it by the hour. A numbPr of transients could be obsPrved in doorways, or slowly patrolling the streets.

to wnit a ion\( time for your train, but on the other hand the ride was

free. True, all the restaurants bad

no electricity, but you can learn to adjust La dining by candlel~t. And Its surprising what a French chef ·can do with an old-fashioned wood- or coal-burning s~ove, which is the old kind he's used to, anyway. No Parisian restauranteur would dream o! Installing a modem range, thereby rendering the majestic rhythm of the French dlgelltlVe tract vulnemble to strikes.

Bui one morning over breakfast, the headlines blared: "Strike Set­tled." The train to Geneva would run that night.

I poured myself a . second cup of coffee. "You'll be ruble to go back to

work naw.

My husband nodded. "Wonderful neWs isn't -it?" He summoned the walter and ordered more croiBsants-

We munched and sipped in ali­enee. "What good croissants the French make! I remarked.

Our eyes met, and he sighed. "They certainly do. Come to think of it, their strikes aren't bad either.

S1w.aking Sternly • • • by David Stern

Tht• L:·n:; \\"a;r Hunt£'

This is t!w age of the automobile. I\ owadays, when passing n person briskly walking along ,the highway, you can be fairly sure of his mo­ti\·ation: either he's a dri\'er whose car has stalled, or else he's from Greenbelt. If he carries a little red can in his hand or motions wildly to passing traffic, mark him as a driver; otherwise, he probably ·comes frolll Greenbelt where that rapidly vanishing mode of loco­motion, walking, is still prev!llent.

\Ve li\'e in Greenbelt, work at Goddard. own a car and on Thurs­da~'!; our wife has it. Last 'I'hurs­day we got a bold idea.

"So you need the exercise," &'l.id our wife when she heard it O\'er the phone. "It's all right by me, but If you find it's too dangerous to cross tlw highway during rush hour, caii me :md I'll pick you up."

Our officemate was more scep­tical: ''\Vho ever heard of anyone walking home7" He doesn't live in Greenbelt, the poor guy.

It was a beautiful evening for walking, steady bright stars in a dear chilly sky and a soft bracing breeze. The guard at the gatehousc,

,f#2· , "'! .. :. l

bu.sily watching the cars streaming by. completc:y failed to notice us, and soon we were walking along the highway, crunching the gravel and feeling the whoosh of passing cars.

Zip! Someone pulled up, a win­dow opened, a hood craned out. "Do you want a ride anywhere?"

"No, thank you." Off again, Wish I hadn't inconvenienced such a generous chap. Should have walked on opposite side, really, but how can one cross against such steady traffic?

Zip! .. ' "No, thank you." That was the

fifth one already. What's so unusual about walking two miles home? When one sits betiind a desk all day, how else oon one get enough exercise? '

A dark hulk of an abandoned vehicle loomed allead. Poor driver. We wondered whether his atro­phied leg muscles had the stamina to carry him the long mile to the nearest gas station.

Screech! "Yo11ng man, is that your oar

over there?" "No, tn'am.''

"Dut your car broke down, didn't it?"

'':,\lo, but I'm all right, thank yvu.''

ilhe gave us that lopg up-and· down-and-up-again looli. "Hitch· hiking, ah? I've heard about your kind. Hoodlums! Beatniks!"

"No, m'am, I'm just taking a walk."

"And you eJCI)ect me to believe It, too. Bum! Criminal! It's people like you who make the highways unsafe!''

Slam! Roar!! Off she wont, kick­ing dust in my face. We had the impression, howeyer, that there was more to come, and there was. What moves on four wheels, gives tickets and has a revolving light on top?

"All-right," said the burly ponce­man. "What is it going to be­vagrancy?''

"We live In this town," we said. "Then you must have heard of

our no-loitering ordinance." "Honestly, officer, I was moving

as fast as I could. In fact, I am walking home."

"Walking home, eh? That's what that hysterical lady down at the

station said, too. Arc you some kind of extremist? Are you demon­strating or protesting over some· thing?"

"No, officer. Scout's honor." H"m. Let me see your draft

card." We pulled it out. We keep our

draft card very carefully these days because that's the patriotic thing to do and, besides, we found out the other day that our draft classification meant "above the draft age." The cop held it in front of his car's headlights, scrutinizing it closely. Then he straightened, handed it back and, for the first time, smiled.

"Look, I don't want to cause you any trouble, but I'd rather see you stop taking such walks. It is all right for you - but think about others! Think of old ladies who &'et scared ooc of their wits, of all those drivers risking an accident by stop­ping for you. Since you say you live in Greenbelt, why don't I now give you a ride home?"

We were' no· longer in any mood to argue with the law.

"That was tast," said our wife liS

we entered ~e bouse. "Did you really walk all the way?"

.JF(KEN +NEDY~ == (11 +22)1963 are 13<7:!4+4259! and 13(274+4709) Arthur Wetter of 9-.J Ridge rd. correctly submitted both solu­tions while Mrs. Rosemary Fel· sher of 4'4-Q Ridge rd. and Mrs. Huguette Angel of 1·A Research rd. found one solution each •

. inddentally, not the same one. • •

Most of us are familiar with infinite recurring· decimal frac· tlons, In which the same digit er sequence of digits appear a­gain and again. For instance, 10 divided by 3 gives 3.3333 ••. while tor 1 divided by . 7 the group 142857 recurs as often as one cares to write It doWR.

Today's 15raln teaser Involves such a recurring fraction; we suspect that It was invented by a frustrated husband waiting for his wife to get off the phone. Please find the digits represen· ted by each of the letters in the following diVIsion: EVE

A hint or two for those readers whose skill In handling recurring fractiol16 has declined since they left school. Let y stand for" the above infinite fraction and let X be the 4-diglt integer TALK.

The announcement was made recently by Gerard F. Devlin, Chairman of the Election Board, who stated that the Board had voted to ask the County legi~latlve delegation to introduce Ieg~lation to permit use of the IBM punch card voting system.

Devlin stated the cost of the IBM devices (about $20<)) contrasts sharply with the cost of $1600 each for the large over head type which Jtre now used In all precincts in the County:

"It is important that we seek the cheapest and most accurate meflbod of tabulating votes. We think the IBM machine deserves to be used in the next y£oar's election."

Devlin estimated that the Coun· ty may need as many as 200 ad-

The warehouse will not hold any additional machines, Devlin iald. The IBJ\1 type, he pointed out which weigh about six poun& would require very little space for litOl'age and If adopted the Election Board could relinquish the D'Arcy Road facility for other County uses.

And Many Hands Make lighted Christmas Tree

Question: What is a multi-juris­dictional Christmas tree?

Ans.Wer: The Christmas tree ·at Greenbelt Road and Southway.

For many years now, a tall ever­green.· at the above Intersection, clecoratcd by Gree~tbelt Homes, Inc., with the cooperation of the city authorities, has been a yuletide landmark enjoyed by everyone en· tering and leaving Greenbelt, as well as motorists on the Baltimore­Washington Parkway,

'l'nis year disaster struck. The bagworms attacked, weakening the tree to the point where it may not stH'VIve; and P'epcos strategic high command sent out an order de­claring the UJpper branch~s oft limits because of power lines over­head.

Rallying their divisions at an emergency meeting, City Manager James Giese and GHI Manager Roy Breashears decided to concentrate their a~tack this year at a hand- . some evergreen across the road from the Co-op Gas Station, a short distance from the off-limits tree. But there were problems of loris· tics supplies, principally the lack of electric service to the tree.

An elf named Bl!!11ton at Pepco electrified the organization, which put through a special order,. pre­pared plans and approved them, and sent out a special work crew­all in the space of two days.

Power had now been brought to a meter. The wiring from the meter to the tree was done by GHI, with the citys assistance. Also galvanized wru; the county building inspectors office, which issued permits and performed inspections with the speed of a reindeer on Dec. 24.

On Monday night, the lights went on. All elcnr now?

A Christmas Tragedy by

Tt>rry Smith*

'Twas the night before Christmas, the whole family was gay, Not a one had foreseen that terrible day. The tree had been trimmed without worry or, care, Waiting for Santa who soon would be there. The lights on the tree had never been checked, And the rooms were all pine and holly bedecked. Then the children were hustled upstairs to their bed While Mommie and Daddy with plans went ahe!W.

Under the tree, all fuzzy and blue Was a cuddley dog for Baby Sue. And there In the corner for good old Mike Stood a sliver and red, two-wheeled bike. For Joey and Rob there were soldiers and guns, And a big Army Tank that really runs. A walking doll for sweet little 1\lary, And a phonograph player for big sister Carrie.

They plugged in the lights not stopping to sec, It everything was as it should be. Checked all the chldren a.nd covered Joe, Then oft to ·bed they did go, And fell asleep with the joy of knowing The children would wake with their eyes aglowlng.

But who was to kno\v what would hAppen that night Caused by one little Christrnaa tree light. Just one little spark was all that it took, Then a great big roar; Oh! How the house shook. There were screams and cries of terrillle fright They all didn't make it that Christmas night.

Why did it happen? Why should this be? Read it again and you w!U see!

Don't Jet thla tragedy happen to you For it ortly takes a moment' or·two To check all the lights and all of the plugs, And keep all the cords from under the rugs. Use only the things approved by U. L. Then you will know that ail will go well For you and your family w!ll always be gay And live to see many a bright Christmas Day. Turn off the tree lights before you retire Is a way to be sure ym1 won't have a fire!

The Year In Review Staff Selects Top Stories

,What were Greenbelt's ten top stories of 1965 f Seeking an answer to this question, t~e Greenbelt News Review poUed its edi­torUil board. Since, naturally enough, there was le.ss than com­plete agreemenf on the relative importance of each event, the following choices arc not necessarily listed in the OTrWT of their significance.

City council on March 8 officially adopts Greenbelt Master Plan, featuring low-density residential development, adequate park- , land and open spaces, a senior high school on Beltway-Lake site, and a perimeter road - a plan requiring no four-lane highways in the core of town.

- County commissioners reject MNCPPC-prepared Area 13 plan which calls for higher-density development than city's own Master Plan, but at same time approves regional shopping cen­ter wning for 57-acre Golden Triangle and rewning of the Smith~Ewing properties east of the Baltimore:Washington Parkway at somewhat higher densities than those recommend­ed by city's Master Plan. City council votes to appeal. these decisions.

- County Board of Education efforts to get Beltway-Lake site for senior high school frustrated as owner, first, seeks deal which will give him higher-density wning on other land in exchange for immediate agreement to sale of Beltway-Lake site, and, fail­ing thi9r makes counter-offer to sell 55 acres in parcels 1 and 2 for th~·school complex. At year-end city marshals forces to reverse decision of school board to place senior high school on parcel 2 (between Baltimore-Washington Parkway and GHI property) because of adverse effects on local road system.

- Mayor Edgar L. Smith receives high vote of 77 percent in Sep­tember city council election and is subsequently re-elected may­or; also elected to council are incumbents David Champion and William Hoff and ·returning councilmen Francis White and

. ..lUclw:d Pilskl..:,..... the .latter eking· out a one-vete mll!'gin-GVer incumbent Cliff Simonson in run-off election.

- By an- 8 to 1 vote, electorate approves $250,000 bond issue for city purchase of parkland to complete green core of land ex­tending from Municipal Building to Capital Beltway.

- In a series of decisions, Maryland appeal courts deliver body blows to Greenbelt's hopes for low-density development of area by upholding wning of 76-acre Jaeger tract (originally intend­ed as part of Greenbelt Regional Park) for high-riae apart· menta and of 150-acre tract near DuVal High School for in­dustrial-apartment complex.

- Continuous efforts by the city council, Greenbelt Library As­sociation, and other civic groups to obtain a new library for Greenbelt near fruition as funds are included in the 1966 county library budget and the county Library Board considers area adjacent to Center School for site.

- A new group - Citizens for a Planned Greenbelt --- is organ­ized to lead the fight to preserve the fundamental character of Greenbelt as a low-density planned residential community and to assure that future growth is in accord with community goals, as outlined in -Greenbelt Master Plan. By the end of year, CFPG comprises 650 paid member-families.

- After year-long deadlock on installation of traffic light at Belt­way Plaza, newly-opened Giant Foods takes initiative and of­fers to bear entire costs of lnstal!ation, with the city providing the· maintenance. Greenbelt Homes, Inc. members approve by referendum a build· ing program to construct larger homes - free-standing homes on 4 lots and townhousee on 3-acre plot opposite the North End School.

High Point to Get 16 Room Addition

<Reprinted from Hlgh Point Beacon.)

To ease the overcrowded condi­tion at Hlih Point next year, a new addition will add 16 more rooms onto the two-year-old annex. "This addition will have no effect on the proposed building plan Chlgh school) In Greenbelt," ex­plained Mr. Allan I. Chotlner, principal. The 16 rooms will tem­porarily alleviate the needs of High -PeiM-4or next ;year.

High Point's new annex will have four floors. The lower level will have four rooms and a lobby fflr the purpose of receiving students who r:lde buses from the Beltsville­Greenbelt area. Other students riding buses will use the main lobby.

The second floor "will house the rest of the business department now located In the maih building. Classrooms will complete the third floor, while a shop will be located on the fourth floor. At present the school has a capacity of 2,000 but has an enrollment of approximately 2500. With th~ new addition High Point's capacity will be 2400.

Since the County Board of Edu­rntion hop•·s thnt all high schools in Prine~ GeorgL'S County will luw~ an enrollment no more than 2,400. this should be tlw last addition to High Point.

Architects for the addition are Walton and Madden who were also the original designers of High Point and Its addition built In 19G3. Plans hope that the newest annex will be completed In time for the apenlng of school next year.

Z~aing Moratorium Approved Tuesday

Following a 2-hour hearing on Tuesday, Dec. 28, at the Upper Marlboro Cou1thouse, the Commis­sioners of Prince GMrges County passed an ordinance allowing them to suspend one of the semiannual filing for rezoning petitions. The vote was 4 to 1, with Commissioner Robert F. Sutphin opposed.

The Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission went on record at the hearing as favoring the ordinance, even though its chairman William J. Stevens previously voiced disapproval of any "moratorium on apartment zoning." One of the main reasons advaneed for the sw;pension is that it would reduce the burden naw imposed on the planning staff of the MNCPPC and on the county's planning board. The board's pres· ent backlog is estimated at 500 cases.

Among th011e speaking in favor of the ordinance was Greenbelter Simon Prlstoop, representing the Prince Georges Citizen Planning Association. William Collis, exeCu­tive secretary of the Prince Georges County Boe.rd of Realtors, stated his organization's opposition to the ordinance, while qommlssloner Sut­phin claimed that it violated con­stitutional rights.

It is planned that the new ordi­nance will be Invoked to suspend the filing period due to begin 1 January 1966. ·

Christmas Tree Burning The annual Christmas Tree bum·

ing ceremony will take place behind the Greenbelt Firehouse on Sunday, Jan. 2 at 5:30 p.m.

The plck·up points for the trees. will be at the North End School, Mawatt Methodist Church and the Firehouse. Collection time will be frC>m 2 to 5 p.m. Free tickets to a movie, to be shown at the Flre­hC>usc right after the tree burning, will be distributed to all children bringing trees to the collection points.

1he Po lire Bioi ter Patient investigation by Green­

belt Police Officer David Brunk has resulted In the arrest of an 18-year­old Greenbelt youth in connecti_on with a 6-month-old crime: Last June, thefts were reported from four parked automobiles. 'I'he stolen items, valued at $210, included a 4-speed lfloor shift and several in­struments which had been stored in the cars. All items but one <which had heen sold> have now been recovered. The suspect, await­ing trial Jan. 4, has been released on bond. Officer Brunk Is slated for departmental commendation. . .

Pollee Chief William Lane warns shoppers that pickpockets have been reported at S. Klein's depart­ment store, and cautions women to hold on to their pocketbooks at all times. In two recent cases, cash was oreported stolen from a man's pocket and also from a ·pocketbook which a woman had placed momen• tarlly on a counter.

• A College Park man was arrested

when he allegedly-tried to bilk a cabby of his fare on Christmas Eve. The lltlllpeCt·hlred the cab In Waah· ington and directed the driver to take him to the north parking lot behind the Greenbelt shopping cen• ter, where they arrived at 2:211 a.m. on Dec. 211. The taxi stopped, the pauenger ran, pursued by the driver, and finally he esca.ped-

suspect denied his guilt. However, the clrlver Identified him and he wu charged. The fare? -$6.00.
