Bresler last July against the Greenbelt News Review, and against its president, Alfred M. Skolnik, who is being sued individually ia now in the active stage of pre-trial discovery. During this stage, all parties make use of certain legal techniques to secure evidence in the other party's possession. Depositions, interrogatories, mo- tiom: for documents, etc. are employed to marshal necessary facts and documents for 1 use during the The suit filed by Bresler charged tomey Abraham Chasanow.

"the commission of the crime of blackmail" and "corrupt and dls- motives in his dealings" Fund Drive Planned with public offic.lals. The suit quoted excerpts from three news stories, two headlines, three letters to the editor, and two editorials during t h e period October 1965 - July 1966 as being printed with malice and "without reasonable justification or excuse." The quoted materiaL for the most <pa'rt, dealt with Bresler's trans- actions and negotiations with the city council and county school board' regarding his land holdings, The News Review in its reply denied the allegations and, in ad- dition, declared that Bresler is both a publlc official and an active par- ticipant in matters of pressing public concern to which the articles In Issue were directed, so that "such publlcoations are constitu- tionally protected and nonaction- able." The reply further alleged two additional bases upon which the publications complained of were privileged: First, they were fair reports of "official public and judicial proceedings and actions" and, second, they constituted "fair comment , . . upon matters of public interest." In connection with the taking of Bresler's deposition, the News R<'- \'lew requested that he produce documents referring to his negotia- tions with the County Board of Ed- ucation and the city on the selec- tion of a senior high school site and the condemnation proceedings and zoning requests connected with them. The newspaper also requested documents referring to Bresler's negotiations with city and county officials and others concerning -the covenant.• on the Charlestownc tract and the agrcem!'nt to deed 3.3 acres to the city for parkland. Finally, documents were requested relating to the financial arrange- ments involved In the purchase and development of the 50-acre Charlcstowne tract and the fo,.c- dosur<' action on 25 acres.

In a hearing on February 23, Circuit Court Judge Roscoe H. Parker ruled that the newspaper was entitled to examine moat of the recorda and documents re- quellted.

The local weekly, along with its president, Alfred M. Skolnik, has been sued for $2,- 000,000 by Charles Bresler for Its publication of city council meet- ings, judicial proceedings, and other material relating to the de- veloper's transactions and nego-· tiations with county and city offi- cials regarding his land holdings in Greenbelt. The suit, filed last July, is in a pre-trial stage. A kick-off rally for the fund drive has been scheduled for Satur- day, June 3, at the Greenbelt Cen- ter Mall. Residents will be asked to volunteer their services as court and neighborhood collectors. Each collector will be given an informa- tional and instructional packet, to- gether with a booklet of "Freedom of the Press Contribution Certifi- cates" in dcnQminations of $2, $5, and $10. There will be a special category of $25 certificates for Greenbelt "Angels.' Further details will appear in future issues of the paper. The Freedom of the Press Com- mittee, co-chaired by Charles Schwan and AI Herling, is contem- plating a series. of additional fund- raising events for the summer anrl fall. Among the events suggested arc a splash party in July and a theater party in October. Gerald Gough <474-1529) and He- len Geller (474-6323) arc handling the preliminary details of the fund drive. Schwan suggested that those persons who cannot walt until the kick-off rally to volunteer their services should plcrull' contact Gough or Mrs. Geller.

The majority opinion Willi that the ordinance was vague In a num- ber of ways, that a need for a parade ordinance had never been clearly established, and that ex!st- ing laws and statutes give the c.lcy ample powers for the control of any poulble disturbance of the peace resulting from a parade. It Willi thought that a system of res- ervations would suftlce. Councilman Pllski thought APB Approves Rezoning Bids For Motel, Office Buildings Proposals to build a motel complex and office center in Springhill Lake North, on the west Btde of Kemlworth Ave., have received the approval of the Advisory Planning In -a report to City Council, the APB recommendl! that the notify the MNCPPC and the District Council that it concurs m general with two rezoning petitions initiated by the developers of Springhill Lake The developer met with City Council and the APB on February 15 and presented a plan for the development of two parcels of land, together with a scale model of the project The land Is located in the northwest corner of the city; it is bounded on the east by Kimil- worth Ave., on the south by 'the Beltway, on the wes_t by the pro- posed perimeter road and on the north by a proposed· road along the south. side of the old cemetery. The proposed office complex is to consist of four 100,000 square-foot buildings located around a central mall. This is to be located approx- imately in the center of a 2:i-acre parcel adjacent to the Beltway, with parking areas to the east and west of the buildings. The land is to be graded in such a manner that the parking lots are hidden from the Beltway by a mound of earth, with only trees, buildings and mall visible. There would be parking for about 2,000 cars. -A six-acre parcel is intended for a motel complex comparable to the Marriott Motor Hotel, with a potential maximum of 250 units, a 1,000 seat auditorium, restau- rant and associated shops. A service station would be lo- cS:tcd on an 0.8 acre strip of land created by the relocation of the State Roads Commission access road. ThLs road would be directly across Kenilworth from the Cres- cent Rd. intersection upon its eventual rPiocation. All this land is presently zoned for R-18. For the otHer buildings, C-0 zoning hns bem requested, and C-2 zoning for the motel and ""rv- icc station. The findings of the APE as follows: 1. This change in zoning would create a greater diversity of de- velopment and would be an to City if rompll'l••d "" plan- nt'd, then• preSi'ntly a.rf' no lnrge otliee buildings or motels in Grernbclt. The office building would supply a place of employ- ment foP residents, and the motel complex would provide accom- modations for guests of Greenbelt residents. 2. It Is felt that the office build- Ings would be pleasing in appear- ance on this site and would blend · well with the R-18 zoning on the remaining portion of Springhill Lake North. 3. The services required of the City for this type of development would be less than that required for residential zoning and thereby increase the tax revenue for the City. 4. The location allows ready ac- cess to major highways (Beltway and Kenilworth), 5. The peak traffic load would differ in time from peak resi- dential traffic loads. It is expected that the peak tratHc generated for the zoning would be greater than for equivalent residential zoning. City Council accPpted the report and took it under advisement. It is to be placed on the agenda for the June Harold H. Kramer, owner representative of Greenbelt Associates, developers of Springhill La!<e was im·ited to he present at that meeting and to bring with him thr scale model.

The letter pointed out that "Kenil- worth Ave. and the 13eltway wlll forever be a .. barrier to most of SilL tenanta enjoying the well- developed parks and recreatloo areas" In central Greenbelt. Tbe property in question is a partly wooded area at the end of Ed- mol18ton Rd.; lt Js close to the SBL tennis courts, lake and swimming pool, and is large enough to be developed as a family-type r..crea- tion area-possibly with room for sandlot baseball and picnic tables, in a park-like setting. Mr. Kramer, who was present at the meeting, was asl{rd what he considered "a nominal fee.'' He said as Uttlc as $1 a year would satisfy legal requirements, "and I'll contdbute the dollar if neces- sary.'' Council decided to refer the matter to the R<•crcation Ad- visory Board. July 4 Concession A possible conflict has arisen with regard to concession stands at the Lake Park on July Fourth. For many years the DA V has had food and drink stands there on that date, and has realized profits of about $150. This money has been used for the benefit of hospitalizt'd Vr>tPrnns. .1Uy City Council has cntrrrrl into an agreement with the SCH corpora- tion to provide various concessions at the Lake, although the contract has not yet been signed. All council members stated that they had no wish to dcprivr thtt DA V of their opportunity to make money for such a good rause. A motion wa_, pasf:f'd perm;t'ing tiH• DAV to operate their """"! con- cessions on July Fourth !With the exception of the kr cream vendor) with the proviso that they coordl· nate thclr stands with the SCH Corporation.

lews Review Libel Suit Still In Evidence-lathering Stage

. The $2,000,000 libel suit filed by local developer Charles S. Bresler last July against the Greenbelt News Review, and against its president, Alfred M. Skolnik, who is being sued individually ia now in the active stage of pre-trial discovery. During this stage, all parties make use of certain legal techniques to secure evidence in the other party's possession. Depositions, interrogatories, mo­tiom: for documents, etc. are employed to marshal necessary facts

and documents for1 use during the ,;:t:.;ri;;;;al~-----------The suit filed by Bresler charged tomey Abraham Chasanow. Rep­

the newspaper with publishing resenting the News Review are the material that exposed him to "pub- firm of RoyalL Koegel, Rogers, and lie seam, hatred, contempt, dis- Wells of New York and Washlng­gtace, and ridicule" and had the ton, D.C., and David Reich of the purpose of imputing to Bresler District and Maryland bar. "the commission of the crime of blackmail" and "corrupt and dls-h~nest motives in his dealings" Fund Drive Planned with public offic.lals.

The suit quoted excerpts from three news stories, two headlines, three letters to the editor, and two editorials during t h e period October 1965 - July 1966 as being printed with malice and "without reasonable justification or excuse." The quoted materiaL for the most <pa'rt, dealt with Bresler's trans­actions and negotiations with the city council and county school board' regarding his land holdings,

The News Review in its reply denied the allegations and, in ad­dition, declared that Bresler is both a publlc official and an active par­ticipant in matters of pressing public concern to which the articles In Issue were directed, so that "such publlcoations are constitu­tionally protected and nonaction­able." The reply further alleged two additional bases upon which the publications complained of were privileged: First, they were fair reports of "official public and judicial proceedings and actions" and, second, they constituted "fair comment , . . upon matters of public interest."

In connection with the taking of Bresler's deposition, the News R<'­\'lew requested that he produce documents referring to his negotia­tions with the County Board of Ed­ucation and the city on the selec­tion of a senior high school site and the condemnation proceedings and zoning requests connected with them.

The newspaper also requested documents referring to Bresler's negotiations with city and county officials and others concerning -the covenant.• on the Charlestownc tract and the agrcem!'nt to deed 3.3 acres to the city for parkland. Finally, documents were requested relating to the financial arrange­ments involved In the purchase and development of the 50-acre Charlcstowne tract and the fo,.c­dosur<' action on 25 acres.

Bn•s!Pr ohjl'c!Pd to th<' produc­tion of thcs" record• as not being relevant to ~he issues in the cast• and on the 'grounds that it would rl'Open all the litigation that ha.q taken place involving him In Greenbelt.

In a hearing on February 23, Circuit Court Judge Roscoe H. Parker ruled that the newspaper was entitled to examine moat of the recorda and documents re­quellted. Bresler Willi excused from producing certain :financial records relating to his lnoome, after plain­tiff's counacl agreed that Bresler 1111fered no ION of grosa or net annual Income 1111 the result of the Nt'l\ft &viMV articles.

taken on March 80, reaumed on May 1, and is scheduled to be com­pleted by the end of May. In the meantime, the N11wa ReviiiW has responded to e..W"-'vo lnterroga­torlet 11led by Bresler'• attorney,

In News Review Suit A door-to-door drive will be

launched in the coming weeks by the Greenbelt Freedom of the Press Committee to collect legal defense funds for . the Greenbelt News Review. The local weekly, along with its president, Alfred M. Skolnik, has been sued for $2,-000,000 by Charles Bresler for Its publication of city council meet­ings, judicial proceedings, and other material relating to the de­veloper's transactions and nego-· tiations with county and city offi­cials regarding his land holdings in Greenbelt. The suit, filed last July, is in a pre-trial stage.

A kick-off rally for the fund drive has been scheduled for Satur­day, June 3, at the Greenbelt Cen­ter Mall. Residents will be asked to volunteer their services as court and neighborhood collectors. Each collector will be given an informa­tional and instructional packet, to­gether with a booklet of "Freedom of the Press Contribution Certifi­cates" in dcnQminations of $2, $5, and $10. There will be a special category of $25 certificates for Greenbelt "Angels.' Further details will appear in future issues of the paper.

The Freedom of the Press Com­mittee, co-chaired by Charles Schwan and AI Herling, is contem­plating a series. of additional fund­raising events for the summer anrl fall. Among the events suggested arc a splash party in July and a theater party in October.

Gerald Gough <474-1529) and He­len Geller (474-6323) arc handling the preliminary details of the fund drive. Schwan suggested that those persons who cannot walt until the kick-off rally to volunteer their services should plcrull' contact Gough or Mrs. Geller.

The majority opinion Willi that the ordinance was vague In a num­ber of ways, that a need for a parade ordinance had never been clearly established, and that ex!st­ing laws and statutes give the c.lcy ample powers for the control of any poulble disturbance of the peace resulting from a parade. It Willi thought that a system of res­ervations would suftlce.

APB Approves Rezoning Bids For Motel, Office Buildings

Proposals to build a motel complex and ~n office ~uilding center in Springhill Lake North, on the west Btde of Kemlworth Ave., have received the approval of the Advisory Planning Bo~. In -a report to City Council, the APB recommendl! that the ct~y notify the MNCPPC and the District Council that it concurs m general with two rezoning petitions initiated by the developers of Springhill Lake Apart~ents.

The developer met with City Council and the APB on February 15 and presented a plan for the development of two parcels of land, together with a scale model of the project The land Is located in the northwest corner of the city; it is bounded on the east by Kimil­worth Ave., on the south by 'the Beltway, on the wes_t by the pro­posed perimeter road and on the north by a proposed· road along the south. side of the old cemetery.

The proposed office complex is to consist of four 100,000 square-foot buildings located around a central mall. This is to be located approx­imately in the center of a 2:i-acre parcel adjacent to the Beltway, with parking areas to the east and west of the buildings. The land is to be graded in such a manner that the parking lots are hidden from the Beltway by a mound of earth, with only trees, buildings and mall visible. There would be parking for about 2,000 cars.

-A six-acre parcel is intended for a motel complex comparable to the Marriott Motor Hotel, with a potential maximum of 250 units, a 1,000 seat auditorium, restau­rant and associated shops.

A service station would be lo­cS:tcd on an 0.8 acre strip of land created by the relocation of the State Roads Commission access road. ThLs road would be directly across Kenilworth from the Cres­cent Rd. intersection upon its eventual rPiocation.

All this land is presently zoned for R-18. For the otHer buildings, C-0 zoning hns bem requested, and C-2 zoning for the motel and ""rv­icc station.

The findings of the APE ar~ as follows: 1. This change in zoning would create a greater diversity of de­velopment and would be an ass~t

to th~ City if rompll'l••d "" plan­nt'd, ~inc(' then• preSi'ntly a.rf' no lnrge otliee buildings or motels in Grernbclt. The office building

would supply a place of employ­ment foP residents, and the motel complex would provide accom­modations for guests of Greenbelt residents.

2. It Is felt that the office build­Ings would be pleasing in appear­ance on this site and would blend · well with the R-18 zoning on the remaining portion of Springhill Lake North.

3. The services required of the City for this type of development would be less than that required for residential zoning and thereby increase the tax revenue for the City.

4. The location allows ready ac­cess to major highways (Beltway and Kenilworth),

5. The peak traffic load would differ in time from peak resi­dential traffic loads. It is expected that the peak tratHc generated for the zoning would be greater than for equivalent residential zoning.

City Council accPpted the report and took it under advisement. It is to be placed on the agenda for the June m~eting. Harold H. Kramer, owner representative of Greenbelt Associates, developers of Springhill La!<e was im·ited to he present at that meeting and to bring with him thr scale model.

Department of Housing and Urban Development announc­ed approval on 1\fay 16 of an addi­tional $37.8M Federal grant (to a total of $205,429) under the Opl'n­Space Land Program to aid in the purchase of 22.2 acres of unde­veloped land for park and recrra­tlonal purposes, conservation of land and other natural resources for the City of Greenbelt, Md

The project was originally ap­proved September 14, 1966. The total cost\ of this acquisition is $410,858, anrl th" HlJD grant reprc-8ents 50 percent of this figure.

SilL Recreation An. In a letter to City Council fi'OIIl

Harold Kramer, representing the Springhill Lake developers, the sug'gestlon was made that the elt;r lease, for a nominal fee, a 1--aere section of sHL· properly and de­velop it for recreational. pu~ The letter pointed out that "Kenil­worth Ave. and the 13eltway wlll forever be a .. barrier to most of SilL tenanta enjoying the well­developed parks and recreatloo areas" In central Greenbelt. Tbe property in question is a partly wooded area at the end of Ed­mol18ton Rd.; lt Js close to the SBL tennis courts, lake and swimming pool, and is large enough to be developed as a family-type r..crea­tion area-possibly with room for sandlot baseball and picnic tables, in a park-like setting.

Mr. Kramer, who was present at the meeting, was asl{rd what he considered "a nominal fee.'' He said as Uttlc as $1 a year would satisfy legal requirements, "and I'll contdbute the dollar if neces­sary.'' Council decided to refer the matter to the R<•crcation Ad­visory Board.

July 4 Concession ~tands A possible conflict has arisen

Door Prizes Slate~ for GHI Election by !Uta Fl~er

The Nominations and Elections Committee, at the GHI board meeting of May 11, reported that the candidates for the election will be limited to three minutes of speech-making at the annual meeting on June 1. The committee also received the permission of the board to offer four door prizes of $25 each, to be applied toward payment of monthly charg,.:es;;;;·;__.;;_ ______ _

The Ad Hoc committee on larger homes reported that It had held two meetings with Individuals who had been invited to consult with the board. At the meetings, open to the public, it was felt that many viewpoints had been obtained and ~~everal differences settled. It was hoped. that a proposition will be presented at the annual member­ship meeting which will meet With the approval of the membership. So far, two formulas have been developed, both providing for no charge for the land and no profit on resale for the first two years. A special meeting was further scheduled for Tuesday, May 16, to discuss the findings of the com­mittee.

The board heard requests from two members and after some dis­cussion approved them both. One request, for wooden shutters, was made by a member who said he had waited six weeks for acknowl­edgement of his first request. After giving its approval, the board asked the Standards and Improve­ments Committee to look Into the corporation's over-all policy re· garding shutters.

The other request was for the removal ~f capped heating pipes. A special exception was made in­the approval of this request after the member had explained that he was remodeling his kitchen and the protruding pipes would increase the cost of new cabinets. T~e Ad-Hoc Land Committee in­

jected a novel and unexpected note with a recommendation for the purchase of a 1.9 acre parcel of land at the end of Ridge Road. The board replied that the pur­chase, vihich would Involve ap­proximately $30,000, would have to be approved by the membership and that any special meeting re­garding such a purchase would have to be announced at least 30 days In advance. The board voted down a motion to place the matter on the agenda and Instead passed a motion to recommend to the

city that it take steps to acquire the tract.

The problem of responsibility for the storm drains was discussed. It was decided that the matter would be brought up at the next joint GID-clty council meeting.

It was announced that the next Gm Newsletter would give infor­mation about a tour of Gffi homes where- Improvements have· been made. Eighteen, member homes are already on the list. Information will also be given regarding addi­tional type storage sheds which have · been approved for purchase through Gffi. The Newsletter will also provide lnfromation regardln~t the recent Elderly Housing Tax Measure.

Arts and Crafts Festival More than 20 artists and crafts­

men will demonstrate rug-hooking and braiding, enameling, oil paint­ing, jewelry-making, quilting, chi­na-painting, glass bending and lace-making at a gala Arts and Crafts Festival at the Hyattsville branch of the Prince Georges County Memorial Library on Adel­p)li Road, Friday and Saturday, May 19 and 20. Booths will be set up along the lower concourse and in the Meeting Room. Hours are': Friday, 10 a.m. - 9 p.m., Saturday, 10 a.m. - 5 p.m.

Balloting will begin shortly after 8 p.m. at the Thursday night meeting at Center School and continue the next day from 7 a.m .. to 7. p.m. in. th,e Twin Pines office at the Center.

Tenants Protesting Raise in Rents

A special meeting of the Green­belt Development Corporation (G­

DC) Board of Directors was held Immediately preceding the meeting on May 11 of the board of Green­belt Homes, Inc. <Gffi) meeting last Thursday night. A petition, signed by several apartment house residents, had been received pro­testing the raise In rent scheduled for July 1. The petitioners stated that the additional rent Increase would create a hardship because of the rising cost of living.

The GDC board stated that the cost of repairs has risen, too, and thai. although Gffi tries to run-the apartments on a low-profit basis, It does not want actually to subsi­dize them A number of people with low incomes who have been residing in the apartments since the first survey of the financial status of residents was made, will be exempt from the raise In rents. The board approved a motion to investigate Increasing this list.

Voter's Round Table The Prince Georges County Com­

missioners will discuss "Progress , and Problems in Prince Georges County" at a Voters Round Table scheduled for Tuesday, May 23, at 8 p.m. in the Capital Plaza Auditor­ium.

~peaking ~ternly Our Child Looks at Space

A child's world is a fantasy wonderland, they say, with excite­ment and discovery at every step. All an intelligent parent has to do, according to the gospel of Drs. Spack. Gesell and Ilg, is to lead the child gently and open his or h~r eyes ~ the fascinating reali­ties of everyday life.

When Goddard Space Flight Center announced its "open house," we saw the chance to ge~tly in­troduce our daughter Ilatoa to the world of space exploration. Tlire~ and a half seemed to us a good age to .start at. and we reckoned that the predicted rainfall would ·-keep away the crowds and allow our family to enjoy the visit properly.

The rain did not materialize, the crowds did, but it was a great suc­cess anyway. Ilana got great pleasure from watching model rockets being whooshed above our beads by a group of high school students, later coming down on the lawn or in the treetops, as the wind chanced it. They were REAL rockets, she explained. Only with real rockets, she said, are numbers and letters announced before take­off!

"Why don't you cover it with a coat?"

"It is too. cold for a coat there."

"Oh." She shook her head in disbelief. "1 know what it is for."

"What?" "To play with. Loolt!" She put

the cup on top of her head. At first it stayed in place, then it began slowly to slide and ended with a plank on the rug.

"Do you know why the cup fell down, Ilana ?"

"Yes, because my head is slip­pery. Slip-slip-lip-lippery." She ex­perimented to see how it went with a giggle.

"No, Ilana, it's gravity that pulls it down. Everything is pulled down to earth by gravity."

"What does pull mean, Daddy?" "If you have a string, you 'pufi-11

like this~ to make it come to you." "Oh. But there is no string on

the cup." "Well, gravity pulls just so, with­

out a string. It's like everything wants ·to go down where the floor is. Wouldn't it be funny if things were pulled up to the celllng In­stead, and everything fell up?"

"Yes, very funny. Can I ·make believe things fall to the celllng?"

"If you want, all right. But that's not the way gravity - HEY, watch where you are throwing your cup!"

"1 just make believe, Daddy." I don't know. Maybe three and a

half is too young?

Another deep Impression was crested by the strawberry ice­cream served in the cafeteria, and by free souvenir aluminum tags with the NASA emblem stamped on them, which immediately got appropriated as play-money, value one nickel apiece. Then there was the plastic potting foam, dispensed by 90me workers Into paper cups -and distributed to visitors. Ilana . insisted, so we took turns with our visitors from New York and waited some 40 minutes in line, winding up with a cupful of something looking like lemon chiffon Ice­cream and as hard as a week-old bread crust, only tougher . Once we carried the thing home, Ilana put it on a shelf and paid no more attention to it.

Two days later, as we were read· ing in the living room, Ilana sud­denly pointed at the cup and piped up: "What Is this for, Daddy?" We tried gentle leadership. "You know what a rocket Is, Ilana ?"

le1sles V1cciallion Clinic on Sand1y

A Measles Immunization Clinic for children will be held in the Center School on Sunday, May 21 from 12 noon to 5 p.m.

With a small gun-type vaccina­tor, the doctor presses the arm ot the child and literally "shoots" the vaccine into the arm almost pain· lessly. A single d011e will probably give lifetime immunity, and 'as to Its safety, millions of doses of vac­cine have been given without ser­ious reaction.

This virulent disease Is the num­ber one childhood dlse!llre today and strikes rune out of ten childre)1 before their 12th birthday. Of the tour million children who suffer the 1'1oease each ye ... r, one cf s1~

1utier serious compJcations.

The complications of the measles diteaae, however, include encephal ltls (brain fever)) which affects 80me four thousand children per year leaving sixteen hundred of them mentally retarded. Measles pneumonia and other respiratOiy diseases can make it a killer di. sellS<'. Measles has decreased great­ly since the 1963 development of vaccine but so long as one child is not immune. and can be perman­ently brain-damaged or killed by this disease, it is still a serious menace.

All parents are urged to bring their children to the cliruc on Sun­day. If you can't remember whe­ther your child has had measles or been vaccinated against measles, a !econd dose won't hurt him.

All children must be accompan­Ied by a parent or other responsible adult over 21 years old.

Something Has To Give!

Cr,EvEI.AND, 0.-A skyrock­~ting automotive population and inade~uate ufety facili­tirs on our nation's highways will push our already gloomy annual traffic toll to epidemic proportions within a few years unless preventive measures are tlken now, experts warn. .

The National Safety Council predicts possibly 70,000 traffic deaths in 1975 unless the pres­ent trend can be halted:

"One area where this trend can be reversed ialn nighttime fatalities," according to J. Parker Heck, educational di­rector of the Street and High­way Safety Lighting Bureau here.

"Over 60?'. of all tralllc fa­tllities occur at night, when trall\c volume is only one-third u heavy," the Bureau apoket· man ~ald. "The·nlghttime traf-· lie fatllity rat4! Ia two and one half times that In daytime.

"Evidence indlcatu that

some 9,000 o! the yPnrly trnm~ death• are the dirrrt result of darkness and could be elim:­nated or drastically reduced by the installation of adequate street and highway lighting at critical locations," he said.

The Bureau reported conclu­~ive evidence showing a posi­

: tive correlation between street lighting and traffic accidents and fatalities. In nearly every case, figures showed a marked reduction in nlghtime traffic accidents where adequate street lighting was lnstslled.

"With the steadil!, gro .... ~na' number of automob1lea on the roadR, the traffic situation Is getting progressively worse," Heck pointed out. "Driver edu· cation and safety featurea on ears will help, but the road­ways themelvea muat also be 1111de u safe aa poulble. This Ia the area where lighting can 1111ke a definite contribution."

TWO SLATES COMPETE FOR POSTS 01 GHI. BOARD, AUDIT COMMITTEE

by AI Skolnik

A total of ll candidates will compete for the five openings on the 9-man board of directors at the Greenbelt Homes, Inc., an­nual election on Thursday and Friday, June 1 and 2. Biographies of the candidates appear on the inside pages of this issue.

The election will feature a con­teat between two slates. One tick­et is composed of incumbent board members Charles Schwan, John O'­Reilly, Normal Weyel, and James W. Smith and one former board member, Josephine Seay.

The other ticket is composed of Ben Rosenzweig, Norman B. Charles, William Feller, Norman L. Kilpatrick, and RobeDt J. Crowley.

The llth candidate, Douglas T. Hawes, is running Eis an indepen­dent. All scats are for two-year terms.

The board race has spill<'<\ ov<'r into the contest for the three-man audit committee. Running with the board incumbents !u'C'-Gerald Gough, Thomas White, and Charles Embcrgcr. Opposing them are Sey­mour Kaplan and Martin Ander­son. A sixth candidate-"· George M. Townsend, 51-D Ridge - an­nounced this week. Kaplan and White arc present members of the audit committe who serve for one year.

Balloting will being shortly after 8 p,m. Thursday at the Center School and will continue the next day from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. in Twin Pines.

Voting for candidates is by secret ballot, with each mcm bcr asked to vote for as many choices as ther<' arc vacancies. The candidates get­ting the highest number of votes are declared winners. · Unlike city elections, no previous registration is needed to vote. Membership in the housing co-op <GHil entitles a member to vote. Each family is entitled to only one ballot and vote.

AgPnda In addition to the elections, the

membership will have before it a revised proposal with respect to the sail'S and resales policy for the larger homes that are being cc,m­structcd. At the special membcr­ship meeting of April 6, the GHI board of directors was asked to "rP.study the problem" and to de­vise a policy to carry out "the in· tent to try to hold down the re­sale price."

According to GHI officials, the new· proposal calls for an appraisal of the house at tim~ of purchase and at the time of resale. What­evPr percentage chang<' ia indlcn­tPd by the two appraisals will mea­sure the rate of appreciation (or depreciation l of the home. This rat<' of npprP<'illlion will be ap­plit>d to Uu• initial ro~t of lht> hom!'·

enjoyed in his monthly mortgage payments by virtue of the fact that the land was made available to him at ,low cost, or no cost.

Thus, upon resale, the selling member will receive his paid-in equity (down payment and princi­pal payments on the mortgage), plus the appreciation, if any, in the initial cost of the house (as measured by appraisals) after de­ducting the subsidy involved in his not having had to pay mortgage payments on the full value of the land. This subsidy consists of about $6 per month per $1,000 of value of land <not included in the mortgage>.

Should the property dee line in value as a result of the housing market. the selling member would bear his part of the loss. Subse­quent membcr-pmchasers, who would he chosen from a waiting list in order of priority, would be treated in exactly the same way.

Other features of the proposal Include a requirement that a mem­ber selling after less than two years sell at the price he paid, and that a minimum down payment of 10 per­cent be made. A buying member would have the option of securing a new mortgage or taking over the mortgage of the selling mem­ber.

PPtition on L1u1d The membership will also have

before it a petition submitted by a group of members ru;king for a membPrship vote on the question l)f whether the person buying a larger home should be charged n)

nothing for the land; (2) for the land at cost to GHI; or (3) market or appraised valu<' for the land .

Attendance of five percent of the membership or about 75 per­sons is required for the conduct of official business. Four door prizes of $25 each will be awarded at the Thursday evening meeting. Members must be present to be eli­gible.

'67-68 Budget Arouses Little Controversy

by AI Skolnilt

The public hearing on the 1967-68 municipal budget on Monday, May 22, produced few sparks and rela­tively few citizens. About 20 per· sons turned out to review the bud· get proposed by city manager James K. Giese, which calls for no increase in real estate taxes, although expenditures are expected to rise 18 percent over last year's appropriations. The budget must be adopted by June 10, and council has tentatively scheduled a final budget meeting for Monday, June 5.

There were indications that final adjustments in the budget would permit a lowering of taxes. Ten­tative decisions announced by eoun~il included an increase in estimates of the city's share of State income tax revenue by $10,000 and of State motor vehicle license revenues by $1,000.

On the expenditure side, council indicated deductions of $6,500 in the amounts needed for replace­ment of vehicles and of $500 in informational expenses, though some offsetting would take place through additions in the budget for c'onstruction of new sidewalks and new street lighting on Center· way.

Kranwr Urg<'S Cuts Harold H. Kramer, representing

the owners of Springhill Lake A­partments <Greenbelt Associates), urged council in a written state­ment to scrutinize carefully the expense side of the budget to elim­

. !nate all unnecessary items. He ex-pressed hope, however, that no cuts be made which would affect the calibN of ~ity employees.

Kramer stated that since 196·1 there has been little change in the city tax rate in spite of a doub­

'iing of the assessable tax base. He noted the competition faced by Grecnb..Jt apartment owners from the units across from NASA and those on ·lower Kenilworth who "do not have to pay the City over $·1:l.OO per unit for taxes."

Kramer felt, lhat the council should k<'ep in mind that city services required by new aP,art­ments are in most instanCPS less than those required by the older low-tax yield homes. He referred particularly to parks and recrea­tion items. "New apartment build­ings, <SHL)" he said. "provide pools, mcrting rooms, social rooms, playgrounds, picnic areas, tennis and basketball courts, one Lake, and a golf course under construc­tion.

"In the past four )'t'ars," he con­tinued, "possibly $1,000 has b<•en sppnt by thP city for Rpringhill I..altr for t.lw nhnvn parl< and rt·c­l'I'A.tion i!l'ms.

Interviewing • • • • j.M. Hennessey hy Da\id Stem

James M. HenneJSey is a native of Chevy Cha.>e and can re­call the times - not too far in the past -- when much of U1~ rrea around Washington was rural and sparsely settled. Thi~::;s h.aye changed and Hennessey is now Assiatant Planning Engineer for "Park and Planning" - the Maryland National Capital Park and Planning Commission --- where for the past 8 yeara he has coor­dinated the area's growth. The reviaed Master Plan for Area 13. which greatly affects Greenbelt, is one of his responsibilities.

What was the status of the re· newed master plan?

Mostly, said Henne3sey, the new plan was similar to the one sub­mitted two years ago. Changes corresponding to zoning enacted since then have been incorporated, and the areas municipalities have been contacted for their recom­mendations. Two meetings with Greenbelt's councilmen and city manager ·have taken place, and Park and Planning was also con­sulting with the councils of College Park, Hyattsville, Berwyn Heights, Rivetdale and University Park. It was the general feeling of the com­mission, he added, that wishes of local jurisdictions should be taken into account as far as possible, unless they conflicted with regional needs or accepted planning princi­ples.

Will there be a public hearing on the revised master plan?

This point has been raised by representatives of Greenbelt and by others, Hennessey said, but no decision has yet been made. --·Ls the residential density of Greenbelt going to increase, as a result of the plan?

"We've got to face what has al­ready happened" replied Hennes­sey. He noted that, apart from 'the northeast end of the city, there wasn't much undeveloped land left in Greenbelt.

"Change in Character" Since much of Greenbelt is a!,

ready zoned for apartments, cannot the owners of the rest of the land claim "change in character" and demand higher density use for their land? Why don't we ever hear the 11Change in character'' ar­gument the other way around - so much has been rezoned, that there is no justification for more?

You obviously haven't heard the arguments of the staff (of Park and Planning! lately, said Hen­sessey. They strongly believe that what is needed in zoning is a pro­per balance.

We noted that Greenbelt already seems to have passed that proper balance. Does this mean we can expect no more multi-family zon­ing in and around Greenbelt?

Park and Planning was aware of Greenbelt's probl~ms, Hennessey replied. It obviously had a high percentage of multi-family dwel­lings, esp<·cially if GHI is not con­sidered as single-family homes. However, other things should also be taken Into account.

We cited the fact that Greenbelt is bounded on two sides by federal land, so •that 'the high density can­not taper off in these directions. Wouldn't that speak against more urban con<X!ntration?

Yes, answered Hennessey, but on the other hand there is the ••asy access afforded by the Belt­way, the Baltimore Parkway and Kenilworth avenue.

Hennessey. Work on the Benw.J' interchange with the new highWIQ" has already started, and necessuy land has already been acquired north of the Beltway. On the other hand, south of the inter­change all was still not clear ..

How do planners feel about tile role of the Baltimore-Washington Parkway as a commuter high...,.y,. something it was not originally intended to be?

"The parkway is a commub!r highway, whether we like it or not."

MAN ARRESTED FC R' LURIIQ. CHILDREI

1

A 26-year-old man was arrested on May 17 and charged with ao­.licltlng for lewd purposes, fallow­ing five separate reports to the Greenbelt police about a man try­ing to lure young girls into his car. The five incidents took place on May 15 near Greendale Pl., the 16 court of Ridge Rd., the Consum:. ers' Discount superm~rket. and North End and St. Hugh's schools. The girls ranged in age from 1()

to 13. In each case, with minor varia·

tions, the man began by calling to the girls from his parked car and asking them to help him •·adjust" a towel across his lap: In four of the five cases, the girls refuse<l. and immediately informed their­parents. Thll suspect has been char­ged in connection with the fifth in­cident. which occurred at 8:25 a.m.. ncar Greendale. Pl. and involved an 11-year·old girl. According to Chief' William Lane, she has ideutified the <Suspect.

A hearing was held at 9 a.m. on May 17 at People's Court in Hy­attsville. At the tim~ trc GrN'n­belt offenses occurred, the mHn was out on bond awaiting- trial fr;r •im­ilar offenses committNl eL,<'where in the county during January and March. He was again released on bond several days after his ar­rest last week.

Trae<'d Through Plates Several of the girls described a

heavy-set. white male wearing sun­glasses and~ driving a blue car, and one remembe1·ed th<' Pennsylvania license plate number. It was traced .to Montrose, Pa. and the descrip­tion of the owner was found to tally with that of the man the girls had described. His Mary­land address was unknown. Acting on the possibility that he might be a federal employee, thP police even­tualy obtained an address In East: Riwrdale from a government a­gency and arrested the suRprct in his home.

Greenbelt's police department was commended by the office or the State's A ltorney for its quick work In thP case.
