The grade on Westway adjaceal to the Jewish Community CeDier los so steep that rains whicb flaft· followed upon grading prep~ to paving have caused enough ~ Ilion to require regrading ·and the­postponement of the paving. After a city Inspection, the go-ahead fol' paving was given last week. Be­cause of this delay, the exterqiaa, of Lakeside Dr. received Its piiillmc ahead of Westway.

Twenty-Five Years Ago Independence Day was c.'elebrated without the usual fireworks

·display: the city fathers thought such a display would be both a wr.ste of monpy and in poor taste in time of war. However, the:-e were many other events-a parade. a band concert. games. races and speechm. All units of the Civilian Defense Corps and the newly-formed company of Minute Men marched in the parade ..

Of the projected 1.000 Defense Homes, 196 were finished and rJccupied. By mid-July 154 more homes were nearly completed and ·occupants chosen. There was also a long waiting list of prospec-tive tenants . . . · ·

Bids were invited for the construction of a new 17-room ele­menta:-y school and a 6-room addition to the high school. It seemed likely that. the earliest date for completion of these additions wou14 be the sprmg of the following year. Principals of the two existing

..schools announced plans for double shifts of students in the fall term ...

Transportation problems were more acute than ever because ·of !"!ltioning of tires and gasoline for private cars. The Cooperator Mid, "Public transportation is too expensive, too slow and too .crowded to be satisfactory." A Transportation Exchange Column was started in the paper which listed, free of charge, both "Rides Wanted" and "Passengers Wanted." ...

Twice-a-day home delivery of mail began early in June. Until then, Greenbelters had been obliged to walk to the Post Office each day for their mail . . .

Schrom Airport, a privately owned airfield located in the south-east corner of Greenbelt, was taken over by the U. S. Army for military purposes ...

Greenbelt Consumer Services announced plans to build a second food store in the North End of town, and also to-enlarge the existing G.C.S. drug store, beauty shop and food store ...

The C. and P. Telephone Company adve~tisement in the Co­operator urged everyone to cut down on the number of phone calls made, both local ~nd long distance. saying, "War Calls Come Fi!'llt."

By taking the Belt­way, Interstate rte. 70-S and rte. 340. Greenbelt residents can easily drive there in less than two hours.

However. there also exists ano­ther way, somewhat less conven­tional: the Baltimore and Ohio rail­road runs several trains through Harpers Ferry, stopping right in the re<~tored part of town. now adminis­tered by the National Park Service.

Greenbelt Grab-bag "Will be interesting to see" • • by Punchin' Judy

To the E<litor: "I was so overwPight. that I was

ash~ed to leave the house, even to put out the garbage."

The speaker was an attractively curved young woman, who was tel­ling hPr success story at the Mary­land State Convention of the TOPS

TOPS stands for TAKE OFF POUNDS SENSIBLY, and Ptmch­in· Judy, having taken off eighteen of them more or less sensibly, found herself. to her great sur­prise. attending the convention as Chapter Queen and graduate. There she~was. coming down the run­way. complete with graduatio~ cap, corsages,- badges, ribbons, stream­ers, and everything except flasli­ing neon lights. If the effect was not exactly that of Miss America, it was at least as good as the launching of an airplane carrier.

"'Why in the world do you need to belong to TOPS?"' we asked one willowy young lady. · "You should have seen me nine months ago," she answeree<l. "I weighed 108 more pounds than I do now."

We were flabbergasted. It seem­ed impossibe that the picture of a huge flabby matron could pos­sibly show the same question.

This gal was the queen of the convention, but 'there were many similar successes, and their stories were fascinating.

Springhill Lake Slighted? To Ute Editor:

I, too, read Mr. Von Eckardt's article and felt that the gentle­man was very kind to Creenbelt when one keeps in mind what it was meant to do and the Greenbelt of the present. The altlcle ·omits any reference to Springhill Lake: Would one as alert and informed as Von Eckardt omit forty percent of th•! current population of a City or iJ! it possible that he could not see the geographical relationship?

llnrold H. Kranwr P.S. Did the group being inter­

•i~wed thl,;k of mentioning Spring­hill Lake?

One housewife reported that her ungainly figure made her embar­rassed to attend PTA meetings. Hmm, we hmmed. Could this be a reason why our PTA has such poor attendance?

A Greenbelt girl floated by. a vision in white chiffon. The"be­fore" picture pinned to her back attested to her suce<>ss story.

But the hit of the evening in our opinion was the jolly grand­mother who told her story. It seems she got to thinking, one one night, that when she died, she might be so heavy that the pall­bearers would drop her coffin. She painted a vivid picture of her body rolling obesely in front of the hor­rified mourners. Fearing that her daydream might become reality. she hurriedly joined her nearest TOPS club, and there she was on the stage, very much alive and newlv trini, encouraging other members.

Nobody likes food better than your faithful correspondent, and if we could lose weight, so can you. But maybe you're already slim. Practically everybody in Greenbelt must be, since our club has so few members. And that, gentle reader, is our subtle way of saying why, for Pete's sake, don't you come to the meeting on Monday at 8:30 p.m., at the GHI Building on Ham­ilton Place?

Community ·College Admission

Students who wish to enroll In Prince George's Community Col­lege this fall have until August 25 to submit their applications.

The college will conduct day and evening sessions this fall on its new campus at Largo Maryland, with an enrollment of approxi­mately 4,000 students.

For further information write or telephone the Admissions Office, Prince George's Community Col­lege, 301 Largo Rd., Largo, Md . 20027, telephone 33~-6000.

I read with interest Katherine Keene's long attack on "Potomac Magazine" writer Wolf Von Eck­ardt. lt is very interesting that whenever someone points out that a majority of the G.H.I. Board is not interested in building modPr­ate income housing (using the F.H. A. income limit of $9450 for a fam­ily with three children) the hon­esty or such a person is always at­'tacked by one of Mr. Charles Schwan's car pool members or one of his G.H.I. Board members. At the risk of another personal at­tack on myself I would say it will be interesting to see whether the persons \vho buy the fourth free standing home and the townhouses · of "long lasting quality materials"

• Miss Keene refers to are G.H.I. members wilth large families, or outsiders. or G.H.I. members with high incomes and small families. Perhaps when tltis evidence is in G.H.I. members will be able to tell whether or not Mr. Schwan Is in­terested in what he considers to be "compatible" residents as Mr. Von Eckardt suggests he does.

Btws lltuitw City Council Hears P_roposal For Fair Housing Ordinance

A proposal for a fair housing ord~nance limited to rental ap­partments was presented to city council by a group of Greenbelt :-esidents, including four clergymen; at Monday's council meeting. Tho council referred the proposal to the city's Community Rela­tion's Advisory Board with instructions to report back by the next regular council meeting, September 11. The proposed ordinance

was also sent to the city so!icitorf ~o.;.r;,_r_eVI_.;.;,ew,;,;,.;.. --------

AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER Vol. 30, No. 40 GREENBELT, MARYLAND

Municipal Powers Referendum Included In Sept. 19 Ballot

City manager James Giese informed council on Monday night that the revised Area 13 plan is scheduled to be submitted by the MNCPPC technical staff to the Prince Georges County Planning Board in early Octobe:·. The council decided to hold a meeting on Monday, August 28 to determine whether it wanted to make any further recommendations to MNCPPC before the plan goes to the board.

The major area still open for discussion is the Springhill Lake developers request for rezoning of the area north of Capital Beltway and west of Kenilworth Ave. The area is presently zoned R-18 (a­partmen~ dwellings), but the oW­ners have. requested C-0 zoning for commercial-office development and C-2 zoning for a motel and gas station.

CitizE-ns for a Planned Greenbelt have questioned the wisdom of making a decision on this tract without knowing. what is in store for the rest of the undeveloped land. There has been general a­gr!'l'ment, however, that the re­quest for commercial-office zoning might be preferable tll further a­partment development, though there is less agreement about the C-2 request.

Advisory Rf'fl'rendwn The council agreed to place on

the Septemt?er 19 city ballot an advisory referendum question on municipal powers. The ques-tion is to be phrased as follows: "Shall the existing home rule authority of the city of Greenbelt and other muncipiaiities <present and future> be guaranteed by a new Maryland Constitution?" The city fathers are concerned over a proposed draft of the new constitution which would take away pres .. nt home rule powers of cities and make citfes creatures of the county ra­ther than of the State.

The council designated Center School or a city facility as the polling place and authorized usl' of thrc<> voting machines. It named f'ight of the ten dection worl<f'rs: David SnydPr, Mrs. Joan Burkart, Mrs. Margan'! Baldovin, 1\lrs. EvP­lyn Barcus, :Mrs. :1\f:ugarnt FC'erwy. 1-.fl~s. 'fi'ranePs Herling, l\1t·s. Nor­man Weyel, and Mrs. Mary Ford.

Gies<> promised city council that stPps will.· be takPn to haw the Univl'rsity Squar<' project builders

remove debris accumulating on city-owned property. Local resi· dents asked for gpeedy action, complaining that trees were be­ing destroyed, and the .. council a­greed that no further delays would be tolerated.

Heading a petition signed by 23 families objecting to blacktopping the ground around play equipment,

·as pa"t of a program to pave play­grounds, the council dirPctcd man­agemen-t to suspend the program in their area. It asked the mana ger, recreation director, and the the Park and Recreation Advisory Board to take another look at courts that were scheduled to be blacktopped. The petitioners had cited the safety hazard to their children created 'by the hard sur­face.

· Chartf'r Chances Council adopted a charter-re­

vision at the suggestion of the Charter Review Committee, which limits •the number of signatures needed to nominate candidates for city council .to between 50 and 60. The present requirement is be­tween 3 and 5 percent of the elec­torate. The Charter Review Cpm­mittce felt that with the growth of the city the present percentage re­quirement would becom<' too res­tl'ictive. The change will not be­come effective until after the cur­rent dty election.

Council also adopted for first reading another Charter Review

Committee recommendation which consists of a comprehensive a­mendment listing all existing pow­ers of the city, plus all powers con­tained in the Model Charter en­acted by the State Legislature.

Monday Is Last Day To Register To Vote

Monday, August 21, is the last day to register to vote in the com­ing city council election. The city clerk'> office will be open to 5 p.m. -that day. Special hours for rcgis­traticn will also be held on Satur­day morning, from 9 a.m. to 12 a.m.

Posted on. the bulletin board at the city offices is a list of more than 200 names that have been stricken from the voting rolls because of

lml! 041 JO JJ41!J UJ JlOA Ol aJnf!'BJ two elections. In the 1965 elec-tion, there were 1,724 r-egistered voters of whom 1,245 voted.

To register to vote. one must be a citizen of the U.S., be at least 21 yeare of age and must have lived in Greenbelt at least six months. immediately preceding the election on !!eptember 19. '

Those citizens who have voted in at least one of the two previous regular city elections need not register again. as long as they have lived continuously in Greenbelt.

The city election will feature the election of five city councilmen. Each voter is entitled to. vote for as many candidates as there are vacancies to be filled.

The city charter, which governs election procedures, was recently amended to permit a candidate to be elected if he receives over 40 percent of the votes cast.

Public Hearing Tuesday On College Park Annexation

City council was surprised to h>arn Monday night that CollPgr Pnrk ·b R<'~king to annex part of the llPlt~ville Agricultural Re­search C('nter Rdjolning prPsPnt Greenbelt city boundari<'S. A pub­He hearing will be held on August 22 at .the Coll<'ge Park Munlripal Building. Grernbdt oflidals ar<' conN>rtled since th<' perim<'trr road is scheduled to traverse somr of the property.

sed the desirability of coordinating city action with cou,.,ty pronosals for a fair housing law. Gough said that the Prince GPorgos county commissioners will be holding pub­lic hearings in thr rarly fall for the purpose of drafting such an or­dinance. Any law pa..,.cd by the county commissioners would apply to Greenbelt.

Norman Kilpatrick argued fot· immediate Pnactment of a com­mercial fair housing ordinance on the GTOUnds that ill the city h'l-i the authority to act, while the county's powers are still in dis­pute; <2> the city's ordinance would be restricted to apartments, leaving to the county the enact­ment of a more comprehensive law; and 13) the passage of such an ordinance might slow down un­desirable apartment development in Greenbt!lt.

Louis Pohoryies thought nothing would be lost by waiting to see what the county docs. "If the county doesn't act. the city can enact an ordinancP," he said. It was his opirtion that the county's ordinance would be stronger and preempt the ar~a. He saw no ur­gency, he said, as he understood that the larger apartment develop­m~nts in Greenbelt were already renting to Negroes. Later, he told the News Rf'.vlew that he had been erroneously informed and that the ·apartment units were still dis­criminating.

City manager Jame.s Giese told council that It did have the ?OW­er to enforce fair housing regula­tions. However, he felt that the subject would be better handl1•d at the county level where btuldlng and zoning regulations are a-ir>~)t•

eel. In referring t:1e subject :,, thP.

Ccmmunity Relations Advisory Board the council expressed its view that any city proroosals shoulrl be closely coordin,ted with the county. In this connection. Gough reminded the council that the county commissioners had been el­ected on a platform which· included a hir housing plank
