Volume 30, Number 26 GREENBELT, MARYLAND

An Interview With • • W. C. Dutton hy David Stl'rn

Wilmccr ("call me Bud, everyuae does") C. Dutton. Tall, graying, fo~·thright. informal but ql'iek to the point. Title - Chair­man or' the Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning Commis­sion (MNCPPC)., the hi-county ageney that develop~ master plans, recommend>: on every zoning application, administers about 16,000 aere:J of par!dand, under an annual budget which currently stands at $15,836,929. · We met in the new, modern,

glass - concrete-and.stainless-steel headquarters of MNCPPC on Ken­ilworth A venue. In the room was Lawrence C. Manuel, Assistant Di· rector for Parks of Prince Georges county, who handed Dutton a sheaf of documents to be signed.

"This is the contract for con­struction of the first youth center in the county" Dutton explained, as he affixed his signature.

We noted that the city of Green­belt has had a youth center for several years.

"I mea1i the first public center in the county," he said. "We fol­low the example of Greenbelt." }!,, went on to say that this particular ccnll•r will be located 1wxt to tlw regional library on Adelphi Rd., is scncdukd for completion · within one year, will co ;t $328,000 and is to be followcu by two others.

"It's been a good 0 day today," he afterwa:·ds added. "We have located seven elementary and two junior high schools, designated three specific park areas, taken pre­liminary steps towards considera­bly more acquisition of stream­valley land and recommended zon­ing involving 40,000 people over 10 years, inducting a city center - of a nrw city - with two retail shop­ping centers."

The last itrm, it tumed out, in­volved a new planned city near Largo ,on the castem extremity of the Beltway. It is included in the 8800-acrc Largo-Lottford area, for which a 1\!NCPPC staff study was n•leased last November. A popu­lation of 115,000 has been projected for this part of the county - a long way from last September's population estimate of 1,5:i5 - and MNCPPC hopes to dmign for it a balnnced community, complete with a 30-acre lake, a golf course and city center, before major de-velopment takrs place. 1

Municipalitil's and 1\INCPPC We asked whether "Park and

Planning" \Vas unique in its form. "Quite unique," said Dutton, but

add<'tl that this applied mainly to its bi-eounty character. Similar agl'IH'iPs, hP said, with county-whk J'e!>iponsibilitir;;, PxistPC..I in many p!au·s, although their position var­ied eonsid(•rably. The planning or­

agency's activities in that city. The agreement was about to be signed, · he said, and Park and Planning would lik~ very much to enter into similar agreements with other mu­nicipalities in the county.

"On the same subject," we said, "and this may be a somewhat deli­cate question: how do planners feel about cities? Sometimes they may be regarded as a nuisance -say, if you want to put a freeway through and arc fmced to nego­tiate with many small towns, each l'aving its own ideas. On the other hand, if you take away the city ::;tructurc- as, for instancP, in Sil­wr Spriug - you erode the identi­ikation of ppople with a comnumi­ty."

Dutton not<•d that opinions am­ong planners varied on this point. Hi~ uwnr he saidr was .. This is one of the few points on which I agree with Jane Jacobs' "Death and Life of Great American Cities." I do think we need to have idr.ntifiea-lion for smaller areas in the coun­ty." He cited Los Angeles county - the prototype of urban sprawl -which has established local centers to which residents can feel that they belong, and implied that the Laq;o-Lotllord plan had ~imilar aims. He also noted that it was in the interest of good planning to provid<' a variety of development, and such variety was created by existing municipalities.

What about the possibility of now towns being incorporated in Prince GC'orgt·s eounty?

This was unlikely, Button saitl. since there would not be much ad-vantage in incorporation, and he added, "I just don't see right now where the initiative will comt' from." The one possibility he could see involved the new town in the Largo area, which was planned to have a big and well-defined cpnter. On the other hand, he thought that .some cities, such as Bowie, wen• likely to expand by w:nt•xation.

Proposed City Budget. up 18%; lo Rise in Tax Rates Fores£en

by AI Skolnik The 1967-68 municipal budget, officially presented to council

last week, calls for increased expenditures of $110,250 over fiscal year 1966-67 appropriations. Despite the increase of 18 percent, no hike in the current real estate tax rate of $0.99 per $100 asses­sed valuation is anticipated, as the asseS'Sed Vijluation (tax base) is expected to rise to the same degree and additional financial aid is expected from the State.

Major factors contributing to the increase of $110,250 arc expanded police· services c $27.8001. increased capital improvements for recrea­tion ($18.8001, salary ad,ius'tment. <$'18,000), increased labor for pub­lic works and parks ($13,900), addi­tional recreation help ($7,900), cod­ification of ordinances !$6.000), con­tributions to fire department ($6.000), and increased employee pension and insurance costs ($3,900),

Also up arc anticipated waste collection and swimming pool ex­penditures, but these are self-sup­porting operations and do not

affect ·the real estate tax rate. The budget also calls for new capital improvement items in the public works budget of $42,400, which rep­resents, however, lrss than the amount appropriated for the cur· rent fisc11l year.

Police H<'partnwnt Contributing to the increased po­

lice department budget is a request by city manager James K. Giese for authorization to hire up to 15 uniformed men. Present author­ized strength is 13. The extra man­power will provide foot patrols dur­ing evening hours and permit as­signment of senior officers to de­tective and investigatory duties. It was noted that with the growth of the city, the number of reported crimes is increasing.

The police budget also reflects

the salary adjustments adopted last month. bringing starting salaries of policcmm up to $6,030. At last Monday's meeting council expres­sed satisfaction that the ri ty wa.q bringing its salary scale into pro­per relationship with .t!ir• county police. However, concern was voiced that there were not enough promotion opportunities for the force and Giese was asked to re­view the situation.

Other police department money will go toward the purchase of a third marked squad car and other items of police equipment. The in­crease of $27,800 in the overall po­lice budget, Giese said, will be more than offset by a special one-year grant from the State of $37,500. It is expected that th'Ls aid for police services will be continued in com­ing years but that the formula for distribution will be changed.

RRcr~ation

The major items recommended for capital improvements in recre­ation include the installation of lights, providing of a water sys­

. tern, and the construction of a com-­fort station at Greenbelt Lake c $9,000J; construction of two new tennis courts ·at Braden Field ($11,000); replacement of poles for softball field lights t $3,000> and playground equipment (,~.50·)'.

Last year about $7,500 was ap!1rG· priated for these purpo''''·

adjustments will cover an across­the-board increase awraging slight­ly above 5 percent for all classi­fied positio;;:<, r1T<'<'lin· July l, 1967. In justification 11f tlds increase.

A total of $13.900 more in labor costs for public works and main­tenance of parks nnd pl~ygrounds is anticipated for 1967-68. This in­dudes an additional laborer for parks and playgrounds and a part· time clerk at the warehouse.

Parade Ordinance The much-delmted pamde ordinance come·3 up before the City

Council this :\!onday night for second 1;eading and final passage. It has been rewritten several times and we k:ww that a good deal of time and effort has alrcad~· been invested in preparing it.

From the discussion at the Cit~· Council meeting's. it appears obvious to us that the proposed ordinance leaves much to be de­sired. :\fuch of the proposed languag-e and definitions are vague am' :· )l , .. _,ing and can e:1sily be sul::ject to misinterpretation or ::~bus2. 'D:.lling as the ordinan~e does with a basic constitutional rig~~~- it is imlll'rative that the council lean over backward to avoid the passage of any ordinance that could possibly be u".led to impair such rights and prevent the t'xpression 6f unpopular vie\~ by mi­nont\· groups.

We ha\'C seen no demand by the citizens for passa::;e of this proposal ar. drafted. We can understand the administrative co:J­venienre to tJ10 municipal authorities of having a system whereby the- rit~· is kept informed of pending parades that might affect traffic. We think it would be sufficient to adopt the same approach that was ust'd for the ordinance on meetings. namely, a system of reservntiom' unde!' which persons or organizations desiring to pa­nd<· can vo:t;ntarily :>eek the coop~ration of the city in making the nccessa ry arrangements.

GREENBELT NEWS REVIEW

Tell Members Darn LiHie The President of Greenbelt Con­

sumer Services recently lectured members of Greenbelt Homes a­bout how control of a co-op should br kept in the members' hands, othPrwisc thPy lose the co-op.

This same man has just announc­ed purchase of all of Kroger's \\"ashington area stores by GCS. hut did not rt•vc>al thf' pri('f', th<' tPrrns of salt~. nor wbnt loan o'Jli­~·ations wPrr assum('':i by GCS to t1mu1cP thr lfJan, nor \\'hat rf'al £ s­tatt~ obligations fo!' how Jong \\'f'fP

assuml'd. nor what impact this will ha\'l' on the long-postponed rr:,J,rr,­t;on of pqtronagr divirlrnd p:i~·­

mrnt• by CC'S. I !mow th~ rowm­brrs did not approve any of this in a(l\·anrP bPcause Uwy \VC'l'f'n't told the facts. I doubt they will bl' told.

This same man often wittily haranguPd us about how we rl't:lil customers should not "foliO\" the will a· the wisp" of a few c~nts

by buying for cheaper at a for­profit chain. We should buy at Co­op because that would keep Co-op in business and Co-op' would keep for-profit chains from raising pri­ces. Well this same man and his colleagues several years ago sud­denly without membership discus­sion or approval ceased buying ga­solin~ from a wholesale co-op ant! started buying from Sinclair. Hr justified this on the ground that Sinclair would protect us in a price war, but never revealed all the terms of that deal. Talk of "will o' the wisp" - today you can buy Sinclair gas 3 cents a gallon chea­per at Scot than at Co-op. Three cents to a 10,000-a-mile-pcr year car at 15 miles the gallon is lilte an unwarranted $1.67 per month raise in monthly payments on your house.

Let this man into any degree of leadership in the housing co-op and first thing we know, that eo-op will have bought part of Brooklyn without the members' knowledge in advance, nor their knowledge of the terms of the sale and its im­pact on their interests even after the sale had bern made.

Or perhaps suddenly we will fi;1d after the fact, that part of th~ housing co-op -- say a frame-house court on Southway, or on Ridge, has been sold. That sounds too far-fetched, you say? Sure, but listen. Several years ago the GCS board , ~n secret session voted to give the GCS manager the power to sell GCS assets of not more than $10,000 per asset without prior consent by the GCS board of di­rectors, with no limit on the total of such items. And the same mo­tion also gave the board's own three-man executive committee On­eluding the GCS president) the power to sell GCS assets of not more than ~2ii,OOO per asset with~ out prior consent of the entire board with no limit on the total of such assets. Of course, any GCS sale or purchase is without prior ln<'lnbrrship approval, and they tell the members darn little. So it isn't quite that far-fetched.

When I last was on the GCS Congress, I was able to discover that for years GCS had been run­ning n·al estate losses on its Iong­tPrm commitments .... losses reach­ing upwards of $75,000 or $80.000 per Y<'ar. That was your shop­ping money. I don't know what thrs<' losses have been rPCrntly. GCS couldn't grt out of these long­term commitment~ without )oo­ing mort•, WI' were told.

What eommltmrnts. leading to \vhat 1ossf'S, have bf'r•n made on this Kroger dml?

To the Editor Petition Presented to GHI

The question of the resale formu­la for the new GHI homes io separate and distinct from the ba­sis of compensation to GHI and its members for the land. It has now been suggested that GHI charge nothing for the land. In the be­lief that the ma:ttcr of compcnsa­ion to GHI and its members for the land is a matter of vital intPr­t'St to GHI ffi!'mber.s, l>ecausr po­tPntially the land pro\·itlcs a means of sub,;lantially lowering the hous­ing costs for all and not just for a few GHI mt•mbcrs. because the land potentially is worth a million dollars or more to GHI members, and because GHI mrmbiors hav~

nev~r bern given a clear cut choice in the matter after full debate, a JJPlition has been presented to GHI to permit the members to vote in the matter after full debate. a petition has been pre sen ted to GHI to permit the members to vote in the referendum to be held inCi­dent to the GHI annual member­ship meeting on whether I Jil. to charge nothing for the land, oF"12l to charge for the land at GHI's cost. or i3l to charge market value 1 apprais<'d value) for the land.

I will be surprised if thrrl' will not be discovered some technical objections to the petition, with the result t!Jat members may not b~ given an opportunity at the a .,nual mcetii'g to vote on whether the land should be sold at full markN value. If members are de­nied that opportunity, there will just be more membership meetings and referendums called for that purpose.

Alice out loud, though as she said it, she thought it too.

"Have you become an acid head?" inquired the White Queen quizzically.

"Certainly not!" cried Alice. "I merely observed the !at<' unpleas­antness about the new homes in GHI."

'Tut. tut, be specific," cooed the March HarP. "One can't br merely­mouthed about anything."

"Why can't th~y just offer tlw homes tor sale like anyone else?" asked Alice simplistically.

"But that wquld breach the gen­ius of cooperative democracy!" cried the M:td Hatter.

"Note." said the Green Knave. "that the criteria for getting a home is unbridled fertility, and certain connections in the Estab­lishment."

"Note," said the churlish Red Knave, "that the buyer's price is based on the square root of the Eastern Housing Index !plus Sou­thern Indiana) divided by tlic ra­tio of the least square of the price of pomegranates in Cairo."

"Note," said the March .Hare, "that this may be the greatest givn\\vay since the Teapot Plea­surp Dome scandal."

An Unworkable Motion It grieves us again to remind

the membership of GHI that the individuals who called the special membership meeting. and passed a completely unworkable motion regarding the resale of the four freestanding homes, arc now hold­ing the corporation in jeopardy of losing large sums of muncy through vacancy loss. If some workable resale policy cannot be developed by this coming Annual Meeting the houses wi II stand vacant, and the membership suffer financial loss.

The petitioners who were so an­xious to put out pamphlets which talked of "giveaway" and "profit­cerin"" have bern unable to ham­mer ~ut any meaningfui. proposal. They used a good propaganda point. but they arc bankrupt in offering administrative details.

We sincerely hope th'lt the mem­bership of the Corporation will con­sider this very critical matter and will react in such a way as to re­ject these armchair financiers who arc uninterested in practical prob­lems of mortgage payments, depre­ciatioa, motivation for care of the premises, and attracting purcha­sers. We are not making a policy to apply to four houses: we are maki9g a policy to apply to any future building by the Corporation, whether building on vacant land or rebuilding on present sites at some future time.

A few years ago the Corporation­sold most of our vacant land. To­day we are faced with another _ decision which if not carefully weighed could have similar un­fortu.!Jate results. Let us, this time, reach a decision that resembles sound business practice, not one based on emotion.

Proper Role ol Council The Greenbelt City Council is

trying to pass a law which would take away from us some of our natural rights.

No government has the right to prevent our freedom to speak, or to asscmbic with other people, so long as we act peacefully and do not prevent ether people from ex­ercising their same rights.

Yet our City Council is trying to pass a law which would make us first get permission from the City in order to hold " . . . any parade, march, ceremony, show, exhibition, pageant, or procession of any kind, or any similar display, in or upon any 8treet, park, sidewalk or other public grounds in the City ... " They would except only funeral processions, motorcades of 5 or fewer cars, and regular educational and recreational activities.

To live as people should live, we have to demonstrate against In­justice and a&itatc for reforms. The vital necessities are that we do this peacefully, and that we not be prevented from doing this. Change is a law of life. If change doesn't take place peacrfu),ly, It will take place violently.

It seems to me the proper role or the City Council in this ar<'a should be to provide for reserving public plac<'s fur reasonable per­iods for pracpful parndt•s and dPm­onstralions. A reservation systPm will permit intelligent planning to better m<•ot everyone's needs. Our government ha.q the obligation to hPlp maintain tlu· pmre. And the beHt way to lwlp maintain the peace is to facilitall· P<'accful change.

Greenbrlt Grab-hag May Fire Prevention Tip h~· FirP :uarshal J. WPnrich

• • hy Punchin' Judy Til!' poor driw•r had forty wo­

men giving him directions, so or course Iw got lost We were on a bus tour to New York City ana had bar<·ly left our starting point in Washington and already we had managPd to confuse the poor fel­low. Turning around on· a side street, where there was barely room to swing a Volkswagen, he managed to squeeze through, al­though if there had been another coat of paint on that bus we'd ,still be there.

Finally we wrr<' bowling along on the right road, munching on box lunches and chattering away like ~ flock of . . . , well, like a flock of forty females. Almost at the Lincoln Tunnel. our trip leader announced that our luggage would be removed from the bus and plac­ed h1 our respective hotel rooms while we were making the first stop on our agenda. This provoked a t1 urry of protests. Our names were not on our luggage. The helpful driver offered to stop at the Port Authority to get some lug­gage stickers. This met with una­nimous approval from our happy troop. Then your Aunt Punchin' had a brilliant inspiration. We had all received name sticlwrs to at­tach to our lapels. Since there were sewral extra sheets of stick­rrs left, we could usc those to af­fi-; our namt•s on the luggage. This tw·t with P.lmu::;t unanimous appro­val. Everybody thought it a stroke of gPnius, !'XCcpt for one little old Iaily. who felt W<' should have "of­tidal bus company" stickers. Her voice carried, so we went on to the Port Authority, where the driver spent 15 minutes finding a parking space, 15 minutes getting the stick­ers, and another quarter hour· ap­plying them to our suit cases. We didn't mind the delay too much, since all occurances are grist for the Greenbelt Grab Bag. But we were a little shook when we found, upon arriving at our hotel, that the little old lady's bag was not among those taken into the hotel anyway, since she kept it by her side and hand carried it herself.

Luggage and ladies notwith­standing, we finally reached our first destination, the United Na­tions. The briefing and tour were appreciated by all although our de­tour forced us to hurry through.

Then came the piece do resis­tance for which the whole tour had really been organized. We went to tea at the U.S. Embassy at the Waldorf Towers where we had been invited by Mrs. Arthur Gold­berg, one of our sister members. Here again therc·was a disappoint­ment, for our hostess had been called out of town. The really ex­cellent tea and cookies went far to soothe our regrets, as did the op­portunity to look over the Ambas­sador's suite. We decided that if we had to li\'e elsewhere than in

Gn·Pnbrlt, we would lind the Wal­dorf Towers quite tolerable.

In the evening-, for a change of pace, we attcnedcd a night club. Wednesday must r.ot be a great time for nightclubbing in New York, because without our group, the entertainers would have' been mighty lonesome that evening. But we were a good audience and thor" oughly enjoyed the show and loudly applauded a young Korean who hat! quite a way with Israeli songs.

Our trip home was uneventful. Somebody proposed a cheer for our drivl'r, and it was enthusiasti­cally performed. Next, our tour leaders were honored in a similar manner and then our president. At that moment the imp that shares cranium space with your humble correspondent could stand it no longer. Leaping to the frunt of the bus we grabbed the p.a. mii<P. "And now;' we shouted. "let's hear thr<'C cheers for Judy." You know something? Those ladies were halfway through the second cheer before they realized who had proposed them. Wanna see our blaclt and blue marks? Those gals can hit.

Foreign Mail Rates Rise It will still cost you 25 cents to

send your letter by airmail to Malawi, Malaysia. Maldive Islands or Mali. But for Albania, Belgium,

Corsica, Denmark and most other European and North African coun­tries, the rate is up - from 15 to 20 cents. as of May 1. It's still 8 cents to Canada and Mexico, says Greenbelt Postmaster Emory Har­man, but the 13-cent rate to Cen­tral America is no longer in ef­fect and it will cost 15 cents for airmail to Antigua, Bermuda, Cos­ta Rica, Dominica, EGuador and to most of the rest of the Western Hemisphere.

Other increases affect aerogram­mes and air post cards (from 11 to 13 cents), surface parcel post to foreign countries (increased 20 cents per package) and printed matter (one cent per piece). Sur­face mail letters to all countries except Canada and Mexico will cost 13 cents, a 2-cent increase, while post cards sent by surface mail will cost 8 cents instead of 7. Small packages and printed matter sent by air to any foreign country except Canada will cost an extra 10 cents per piece.

Further details can be obtained at the Greenbelt post office, which has available a list of mail rates to 200-odd foreign counrtics, from A­den to Zambia.

Gasoline The time of the year has arrived

when the lawn mower has to be put into service again and along with it, the luel that must be pur­chased to operate most power mowers, gasoline.

One of the laws passed recently states that you can no longer pur­chase gasoiir{e in a glass container and when it is stored in the garage or basement. or in the home, a s\).fcty can should be used at all time.> to insure safe storage.

It is not recommended that this · gasoline or any tlammabl<' liquid

fluids be any place within the house at· any time. The potential· of this fluid cannot be stressed too strong­ly; we must at all times have the utmost respect for it since the tin­iest spark will cause fire. When filling your gas tank on your mow­er, it is recommended that it be done on the outside of the home or garage. Filling this tank in the basement where there could be a pilot light burning, either on the hot water tank or on the furnace, could cause a lot of grief in the home if enough vapors are concentrated to cause an explosion or flash fire. The result could pos­sibly be burns to a part or most of the body as well as damage to your home.

L<'t us use the following as a guide-line for the fire safety and health of o,ursclves and pur family:

(;ASOUNE - DANGER 1) EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE 2) HARMFUL OR FATAL IF

A ten-year old girl joyfully cele­brated her birthday reeently. with the first party cake of her life. She is a child placed in a foster horne by the Prince George's Coun­ty Welfare Board.

and say "unbelievable" It's the self-cleaning oven-only on electric ranges!

Tell the truth. You don't really believe ID oven can clean itself, do you?

Mter you buy an electric range with a self-cleaning oven, you still won't be 100% sure.

You'll have lingering doubts even after you close the door and your first self­cleaning starts.

But a couple of hours later, when that door opens-you'll suddenly become a complete believer. The inside will be clean, except for a smidgen of ash that easily

wipes away in one swipe of a cloth. And 7c worth of electricity is all it takes. Not all electric ovens are self-cleaning,

bot all self-cleaning onns are electric­available this year in more makes, more models and at lower prices than ever.

See all that electricity has to offer in­cluding flameless electric ranges with the exclusive self-cleaning ovens at the Electric Institute Showroom, lst Floor, PEPCO Building, lOth & E Streets, N.W. ••• or at your electric appliance dealer;

Tilt' t't'Ctucsls aimPd at the plan­ners. lw .luLcd, often ''are not good plannini..~ changes.''

He \\'I.'J>i: on to stress the llf't"tl

for communication between plan­ners anJ citizens. "\Ve are rJn­ccrnecl with having much more dialo,;ue on a give-and-take ba::;is," he said. "\Ye learn from them and they karn from us. Howcver, we still may come up with different judgments. and then comes the quest:on .- . . "

Dutton did not believe that the new, law - which had his support -would brit:g great changes. He not­ed that in the past the situation on this point "has fiuctuated." A similar law was passed, before, in 1958,. following 30 years in which the Governor appointed members to the board. Two years ago this power was returned to the Gover­nor, a step which gave the single Senator who represented the coun­ty at that time - and who recom­mended on all such appointments -considerable in11ucnce. Dutton's own appointment in June 1966 carne under that law, he 'noted. "I was the second, and I think the last appointment of the Governor for a long time.''

He also remarked that although the appointing power now rests 'With a solidly Democratic county government, the planning board will maintain its bipartisan charac­ter, since no more than three of its members may belong to any one political party.

Groonl>l'lt's Place In the Oounty What did he believe would be the

future of Greenbelt? Will it be­come an area of urban concentra­tion?

"I wish I could be more explicit," answered Dutton, and added that his schedule was such that he couldn't study the matter in all de­taiL He noted, however, that the master plan fr>r area 13 was so far advanc!'d that little more was need­ed for its completion than the offi­cial stand of the affected rnunlcl­paliti<'s.

In addition to the local master plan.•, lw add<•d, h<' would also like to have a new over-all plan for the county, similar to the "Wedges and Corridors'' plan, widely known as "the plan for the year 2000."

Was this plan still In existence?

Yes, he said. "It Is the official adopted plan and we try to follow It, but In many areas of the county we are not able. Ita reneral ob­jectives arc good; It Ia the applica­tion .' .. that I feel laclilnr. And, anyway, the county hu already Jnade decisions (contradlctinr the plan). We do have to have a thorough reevalutlon of it."

What about the place of prden clUe. like Greenbelt In the over­all plan?

Garden cltlee were a rood Idea, be laid, but one which for 10111e reuon did not apread - po.lbly becaWII! at the time the "Green Towu'' were ftm planned, private

bl'lt."

All that P~rk and Planning could do, he added. was to "put the ba­sic infra.structun~ on u~e ground" --road plans, p11rks, schools and the like. It remained up to the dt'n'illpers to talu' tht' initiative for lt<'\1' gardt•n citi<'s. He noted that tlwrc Wt're not n1any properties that cuuld bl' devdopNl in this way.

Tltt.' 11Dontino Process'' The hour was getting late. "One

more qu('.stion, concrrning that 'change of charactct· of neighbor:· hood argument on which practi­cally all rpzoning petitions arc based. The argument seems to be ·my neighbor has got high-rise zoning ,ther('forf', my Jand deserves the same.' \Vhy don't we hear the opposite argument - because the adjacent land has been rezoned. thcrp's already sufficient density in the area and no need for further rrzoning?"

Bud Dutton's reply had no two ways about it. "I considt'r the court of appeal's .ruling as unfortunate." he. said. 'the ruling admits only changes in neighborhood character or mistakt'S as grounds for rezon­ing> and then amplified. "I do not believr that because tlll're is one change there should be another. The falling domino rule - we do not accept· it here. Otherwise. you can strip-ionc e\·ery nighway in the county."

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Parkland Grant Augmented Secretary Robert C. Weaver of

the U. S. 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.
