By Steed EvansThousands of persons yester-!

day watched as 120 cars from jthe goggles-and-duster era of!motoring paraded through Rock- jville, Md., in a regional meet {of the Antique Automobile Clubof America.

Wide-eyed youngsters whonever heard of a crank sawcars even their fathers had for-gotten creak proudly by.

The parade, sponsored by the jNational Capital Chapter of theAntique Automobile Club of thearea and the Rockville chamberof commerce, ran along a five-mile route starting and ending

at the farm of State SenatorAndens R. Lofstrand, Jr„ hostfor the meet.

Oldest is an 1899.

Oldest car in the competitionwas an 1899 Mobile Steamer

owned by Norman E. Beckre, ofHaneyer, Pa.

T*>-IC. Marshall, of Yorklyn,Del., exhibited a 1924 DobleSteamer —one of eight in exis-tence.

The 69-year-old retired papermanufacturer and banker owns40 steamers which he has beenrestoring with his son, Tom Mar-shall.

“I’vestill got 40 years of workahead of me on those cars,” hesaid. “You never get old in ahobby like this.”

An elegant show piece was a1912 silver ghost Rollis-Royce ,

owned by William Pollock of |Pottsdown, Pa. Other eye- hcatchers were a 1927 gold-plated 1 1

Republicans adopted a plat-form that spoke of the presentadministration’s accomplish-ments in health, education, wel-fare, courts, road-building, budg-eting and governmental reorgan-ization.

No promises of tax cuts weremade. Also noticeable by itsabsence was any reference toimplementing the recent Su-preme Court ruling to end seg-regation in the public schools.The pVtform made no mentionof a veterans’ bonus which waspledged by both Democraticcandidates.

In an obvious reference to thebitter Democratic fight over thegubernatorial vote recount, theplatform called for legislation topermit public inspection of allvoting records.

Voting Machines Urged.

It also proposed that all coun-ties install voting machines toexpedite vote counting and "toinsure that no voter is disenfran-chised.” Such machines mightbe purchased through the estab-lishment of a State fund fromwhich the counties could borrowat low interest rates, the plat-form said.

An. education plank called forthe study of possible reduction inthe cost of school buildings “es-specially through standardizationand the elimination of non-es-sential items.” The health plankurged early realization of the |separate maximum security hos-pital for insane criminals. Thestudy of the possibility of estab-lishing outdoor training campsas auxiliaries to training schools !for juvenile delinquents was !proposed.

Home Rule Supported.

"Overwhelming support” of

the home rule for municipalitiesreferendum was urged along witha promise to call for enactmentof county home rule legislationat the next General Assembly

session.Gov. McKeldin’s name was

submitted to the convention by

Miss Bertha Adkins, nationalcommitteewoman. Among sec-onders was George C. Warner,jr„ member of the MontgomeryCounty State Central Committee.

Maryland’s two United StatesSenators, both slated for im-portant roles in the convention,were forced to be absent becauseof a Senate filibuster.

8 Per Cent Tax ReductionSeenin Virginia Under Byrd Act

By the Associated Prose

RICHMOND. July 24.—Statefinancial experts believe Virginiataxpayers probably will receivean 8 per cent tax reduction thisyear under the Byrd Tax CreditAct.

Though nothing as yet is offi-cial, that estimate was given to-day after a few calculations bythe experts who "predict approxi-mately $5 million will be're-turned to the taxpayers underthe law passed In 1950.

An 8 per cent reduction wouldrepresent an increase over the 8per cent granted last year de-spite the Boothe amendmentwhich squeezed through theGeneral Assembly early this yearin the. Legislature’s last hours.

Battle, In his budget

message to the Assembly, pre-dicted a tax credit of approxi-mately $7 million and the Bootheamendment.— forged by the“Young Turks” of the Legisla-ture—took away about $2 millionof that predicted amount.

That left a balance of about$5 million and so far nothing

has changed the predictions ofthe financial experts, thoughthey admit they could be mis-taken.

The State Controller and otherfinance officials are busy nowmaking their final calculationsof the revenues. Under the Byrdlaw. credits become available onState Income taxes when thegeneral fund reaches a point be-yond anticipated revenues fromIncome nxee.

Maryland Planners.Again Assail FoesOs Park Belt Road

Maryland planners took an-other shot yesterday at opposi-

tion to plans for extending theproposed inter-county belt roadthrough a part of Rock Creekeast of Wisconsin avenue.

The Maryland-National Capi-

tal Park and Planning Commis-sion, which is backing the road,

said in a statement opponents

have made “continued misi-epre-

sentations” of plans for develop-ing the road and park. Die planswere drawn by the Massachusettsfirm of Olmsted Bros.

One of the “latest irresponsiblecharges,” the planners said, isthat the commission “does notpropose to develop the parks inaccordance with the plans andthat the plans themselves . . .are a fraud on the public.”

The group said that except

for a lawsuit holding up theroad, the Maryland Roads Com-mission could have advertisedbids on it and that “work couldpossibly have been started bythis time.” After the road isbuilt, the planners said, theyintend to “complete the re-maining park development asrapidly as possible.”

The lawsuit, contesting theroad as an illegal use of parklands, will be argued in Federalcourt here Tuesday.

Plans, m addition to the road-way, call for extensive develop-ment of recreation and otherareas, costing an estimated $1million.

The planners said misrepre-sentations also have been madeabout the cost of the plans anda model prepared by OlmstedBros. They said the plans cost$15,000 and the model $7,500,half of which was paid by theRoads Commission. The plan-ners said this was "a fractionof the customary charge forpark designs for comparableareas.” v

! Arlington AsksDelay in Razing

| of'Eyesores'Some Carver HomeOwners May WantTo Renovate Units

The Federal Government was; asked by the Arlington CountyI Board yesterday* to defer for 30i days its scheduled demolition ofGeorge Washington CarverHomes so that a study can de-termine whether property own-ers could renovate some of theNegro housing unite for permar-

| nent dwellings.The action was, in effect, a

s modification of the board’s pre-vious position of March 21 when

i It Informed the Public HousingAdministration that none of theframe structures could be usedas permanent dwellings.

William T. Syphax, colored, abuilding contractor who' livesnext to the South Arlingtonhousing project, sought assur-ances that the unite would be

I tom down. The Governmentpreviously ordered the project

| vacated and all except a handfulof families have moved out.

Would Clear Away Eyesores.| Mr. Syphax said residents ofthe area are anxious to clear

I away the eyesores so that thei land, leased by the Governmentwill revert to the owners for de-velopment of modem brickhomes.

The question arose; accordingto a report by County ManagerA. T. Lundberg, when some prop-erty owners expressed a desire totake over the buildings andrenovate them to meet minimumbuilding code standards.

Board Member George M.Rowzee moved that the Govern-ment delay razing operationsuntil the Zoning and Land UseCommittee could determine how

I many structures would be in-volved.

The board adopted an amend-ment to its retirement ordinanceso that those employes whohave not participated in the planheretofore, may come under itsprovisions in the future.

Wants Street Renamed.After listening to an appeal by

; Mrs. Margaret Walker Gamble.| several members expressed inter-! est in her request that a portion

j of North Randolph street, about! 400 feet long, be renamed forher father, the late RobertWalker.

Mrs. Gamble said six genera-tions of her family had lived onthe tract, a part of which wasdonated to the county to openthe street. Her father was a

; member of the Arlington Boardof Supervisors many years ago.

Planning Director C. L. Kin-nier and County Manager Lund-berg opposed the request as amatter of policy, saying that it

i would interfere with Arlington’ssystem of naming streets accord-ing to the alphabet. The Boardagreed to study the matter untilits next meeting August 7.

Extension of Tax Deadline.The Arlington Women’s Dem-

ocratic Club asked the board ifit could extend the real estatetax deadline of August 15 whichhad been moved up from De-cember 6 by the 1954 Legislature.

The board, in a letter to thewomen’s group, said it had askedfor permissive legislation, butthat the new law made the dead-line mandatory and there isnothing the board can do to 1suspend penalties after August,15.

Mr. Lundberg was asked toreport August 7 on a suggestionby Mrs. Leone Buchholz, boardchairman, that the speed limiton Glebe road between Wilsonboulevard and Columbia pike, beraised from 25 to 30 miles anhour.

Closed Door Meetings.Mrs. Buchholz was asked after

the meeting if Board membershad arrived at a conclusion asto what future policy will be ontheir practice of holding closedsessions on the Friday nightspreceding regular Saturdaymeetings.

The board chairman took ex-ception to the word “sessions,"stating that she regarded thegatherings to thresh out the nextday’s business as “conferences”and that no member was com-pelled to attend. She said thequestion had come up at Fridaynight’s conference but a decisionwas delayed because of theabsence of one member, RobertA. Peck.

Donors File SuitTo Recover SiteGiven to School

Willston, Inc., SaysDeal Was BrokenBy Fairfax Board

The development firm that do-nated a site for the WillstonElementary School in FairfaxCounty four years ago has filedsuit to regain the land or bepaid SIOO,OOO for it.

The donors claim the FairfaxCounty School Board did notlive up to its part of the dealby afcquirihg additional land toenlarge the school site. ,

Slightly more than five acreswas given the Fairfax CountySchool Board by developers ofthe big Willston Apartment proj-ect which stretches out on eitherside of Arlington boulevard just

j east of Seven Corners.

Site Called Over-Priced.M. Seth Horne, William Ihger-

soll and H. A. Nalsbitt, officersof Willston, Inc., claim In theirsuit against the school board in

i Fairfax Circuit Court that a; 1.6-acre triangle at the apex of| Wilson and Arlington boulevards; was supposed to be added to theoriginal site, through purchaseor condemnation.

The 1.6 acres formerly waspart of the Foote tract, and nowis owned by Kass-Berger, Inc.of Washington. It is across Ar-lington boulevard from the mainportion of the Foote tract whichis about to be developed as alarge shopping center.

According to the suit, theschool board dropped its plansto acquire the additional i.s

I acres after the land was ap-! praised at more than $24,000.

School officials acknowledgedthat condemnation actually wasstarted for the 1.6-acre parcel,but was dropped because of thehigh price. More than $65,000was asked by the new owners,the school board said.

Filling Station Site.Mr. Horne. Mr. Ingersoll and

Mr. Naisbitt allege that theirdonation was contingent on ac-quisition of the other land by

the school board, and thereforethe whole deal is now void.

Attorney Andrew W. Clarke,representing the Willston devel-opers, said his clients were con-cerned over proposed use of the1.6-acre parcel as a filling sta-tion site. He explained that whenthe Willston school site landdonation was made, it was anti-cipated that a service road couldbe extended along the Wilson-Arlington boulevard triangle toaccomodate traffic for the Will-ston Shopping Center. He addedthat the fillingstation also wouldbe in competition with anotherfilling station planned In theWillston Shopping Center.
