Town Council Protests Brush-off Given By Government Wheels

The lack of respect for the local town government felt by the powers-that-be outside of Greenbelt was remarked on upon three occasions at Monday night's town council meeting.

In the first in~tance, Mayor Thomas J. Canning questioned the failure of the Ways and Means Committee of the House of P.epre­sentatives to issue a formal notice to the cou.ncil of the hearings held

• last week. The .:ouncil learned of the hearings the night before they started through Congressman Lansdale G. Sasscer, who notified Councilman Frank G. Lastner. Lastner in turn notified Town Man­ager Charles T. McDonald, the mayor, and Sherrod East, then act­ing President of Greenbelt Mutual Home Ownership Corporation.

Heaped On r .Adding insult to injury, Coun"cil-

(" .• .!n Allen D. Morrison announced that he had received an invitation for the entire council from the Sen­ate committee to 'lttend its hParings starting today oi114 the O'Conor-Mc­Carthy bill. "Why wasn't a formal notice sent the entire council and the town mana.ger?" demanded Canning. ·

Even more bitter resentment and indignation was expressed by the council over the announcement by Councilman David Granahan that Public Housing Authority had gone over the council's head in dealing with the Maryland Park and Plan­ning Commission with regard to proposed zoning regulations in Greenbelt.

P"dA Pulls Sneak ~ Following the. suggestions of

Hate' .Walker, one ef t. ~ planne'ts of Greenbelt's 'layout, the council .last year· approved a zoning plan and submitted it to the MPPC to be approved by the Ma::-yland State Legislature. Without confer­ring with any member of the loa.l government. PHA officials wrote to MPPC, requesting that the Walker plan be withdrawn, claiming it was too '"restrictive" on the potential profits of developers. · ·

Supposedly, said Mr. Granahan, the MPPC members assumed that council members were aware of thl. :- 'ft.est, since they agreed. After Ceveral conferences with PHA. the MPPC now has the Walker plan­minus most of its restrictions. Re­tained are the broad limitations on type of constrl1ction-i.e., farm ~es­idenial, commercial, etc.-but ehm­inated are minimum lot sizes, and other ~spects of the Walker plan formerly approved by the local gov­ernment.

Canning suggested that the coun-· cil insist on retention of all of the provisions they had approved. when they appear at conferences with the county commission next week.

"People outside of Greenbelt must learn that we are the govern­ment here. and that PHA is merely the landlord," said Canfting.

The Police Blotter An attempt at humor i:J this col­

umn last week backfired. In re­porting the list of" lost articles available at the Police Station, this reporter included "the:! lower part of a set of dentu1·es." Mrs. Behr­ens. vivacious switchboard opera­tor at the station. reports that four residents have inquired in person about parts of dentures they have lost or misplaced. To these peo­ple, we offer our sincere apologies.

The Police De}::artm.ent calls at­tention to an article appearing in all the Washington newspapers this past week explaining the perils in­volved in the disposal of fluorescent bulbs. The articJe stated that the bulbs c'3ntain a poisonous phos.. phor, beryliJm, that will cause a tumor-like growth and degenera­tion if it comes into contact with open lesions in the skin. Also, in­halation of berylium compounds in powdered form has caused illness and even deaths. This warning is issued because children have been taking discarded ftU<>rescent bulbs from the trash can 'behind the Co­op store and breaking them baP­buar4Jy around the c~ area in recent w..a.

A chrome:: ornament for an ex­haust pipe waa stolen from an auto belo~~C.. ~ .~: Hama, · S.t. P.tatea'b and a gas cip tank was re­ported missing from the auto of Walter .C:¥Ver, 20~F Ridge, accord­ing to complaints rec~ived by the Police Department last week.

A call to the station repen-ted that a woman was seen in a ditch on Ridge Rd. between Eastway and Northway. The police investigated and found the woman. who was in­toxkated.. She was taken home.

A young boy. 6 years of age, was taken into the apartment of a play­mate and shown a rifle and a pistol. The guns were pointed at him. Af­ter telling his mother of the inci­dent, she called the police depart­ment. An officer c:alled at the home of the playmate and instructed the parents to ~ the firearms out of the reach of the c:hild hereafter, as they constitute a rnenace. The par­ents agreed to ell:erciee more cau­tion.

An animal trap was found in the woods , by Barry Petroff, 12-H Ridge and the police were informed. The trap was confiscated.

The tires on a bicycle belonging to the son of George Bradley. 7-E Ridge were cut by two youngsters whose identity was later discovered by the police. Mr. Bradley was giv­en their names.

The Police were informed that two boys. ages 15 and 14 are miss­ing from their homes.

There was one complaint about missing children. One complaint about a stray dog, and another about a lost dog was received, but examination of the complaints dis­close thev were not the same dog.

Disorderly boys in the drug store were the cause of a complnint this past week. An officer asked them to leave and they cCimplied with his request.

~Irs. Silas Denni.s. 36-B Crescent, was painting some objects in her bas<.:mcnt. She left for a fe,.,· mo­meuts to visit her apartmen~. \\'hen she returned she discovered that some youngsters had used the paint and smeared it without any esthetic sense over various objects, accord­ing to a complaint received by the police.

We Went To Annapolis by E. Ritcbi~

Headlines in Tuesday's Washington papers made good reading: .. 1,000 Back :Wcentive Proposal," etc., etc., referring to the descent on Annapolis Monday of crowds of Marylanders demanding that the legislature authorize payment of State money to the coubties io build new schools. \

It was more fun attending in person, however. The "hearing" was scheduled for 3 p.m. Monday, and Councilwoman Betty Har'7 rington and I left Greenbelt an hour ahead of time, picking up a Glent1 Dale parent on the way. We arrived in Annapolis in tha midst of s. jam of cars, driving slowly around the tiny one-way intersecting · circles surrounding the State government buildings, all, like oursel\'·es, in search of a parking place. Some unwary dele­gates ..:hose spots guarded by parking meters and had to duck out later to drop in an additional nickel or two. We parked some dis., tance from the State House, by a breezy inlet full of boats, and hiked rapidly back up the hill so as not to miss too much of the proce<.dings.

STANDING ROOM ONLY

The corridors were full when we got there, and the entrances - to the General Assembly hall were tightly packed, but Betty imme­

diately joined a group of ladies being shepherded by an important­looking gentleman around to the side door. We tagged along, and wou:.tld up· down in front alongside the speaker's rostrum where ~ harraased police lieutenant was setting up chairs. We grabbed two, but h,:!fore we got ourselves settled the lieutenant made us get up again-the chairs, it seemed, were for the House Ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees, and if the committees didn't get

~ated pretty soon "there wasn't gonna be no hearing!" He sug-C~ested that we .stand along the wall on the other side of the room,

which was a ruse, because after we got there we found that the delegates' pews extended back to the wall and there wasn't any space. So-we stood, right beside the aJ?eaker's desk, and had a front-row view· of the whole session.

The Assembly room is a high marble-~eilinged sps.ce with. mar­ble floors, and. balconies over the front and back. 'l'he balco1:1ies were full, with people standing in the upstairs corridQrs; thE" center aisle was full, and the back and front spaces were packed too, with the overflow in the middle and side corridors outside. There were two and evc!n three to a seat, and the place grew hotter by th~ minute even with all the doors open. The heat wasn't all due to the crowding, either.

We hadn't missed anything, since the meeting began half an hour late, and we were all set when Senate majority leader Harold Sothoron introduced the president of the Maryland Parent-Teachers Association to get things started. She, in turn, introduced the prP.Sident of the Baltimore Co\UltY ~oQ:}.tnissioners, Vl"hQ read a long statement full of figures intended to ahow how e;ostly it would be for the counties to bear the burden of financing school construction, and why the state's money was u~ if anything practical is. to be done in the emergen~y. He was the representative of the Western Shore commissioners, and was followed by the representa­tive of the Eastern Shore commissioners. Then came Dr. Pullenr­the state school superintendent, familiar to many Greenbelters, who spoke briefly and feelingly on the urgent need for more schools.

After that the legislative chairman of the state PTA Congress started introducing all the spokesmen of state organizations--the Farm aut-eau, the Grange, the 4-H Clubs, the teachers' association, educational and civic bodies, the library association, every grouP.

' that could possibly have an interest in better education for Mary­c:;:md's I!!IChool children-citing ev~rything from the state's low na­

tional 11tancfulg in education as compared to its hig~ per capita il:come, to the · social and disciplinary measures that might be neceuitated by the double shift.

LONELY OPPOBI'l'ION

Then came the deler;ates from 'each of the twenty-three counties (Quick now, let's see you name half of them! ) and, sin~ it was now afte;r lour, some of them could only stand and announce. themselves in favor of the two bills under consi·deration. The gentleman f1om Allegany CC'unty, way up on the list, spoke so long in opposition to the bills that time had to be calloo on him, and the time for the other speSkers was shortened, but he was the only one opposed: One of the speakers further along noted that his county's difficulty was incnp.sed by the gr~wing birth rate, by the adoption of .the 12-year curriculum, and by the new laws requiring fewer pupils per teacher and otherwise raising the tea.ching stand­ards; he agreed, however, not to blame the first on the legislature!

The presence of so many interested citizens, only a tiny per­centage of whom actually spoke, was in itself a powerf&l argument to· the legislat.>rs, even if the county delegations had not so unani­mously endorsed the proposed measures. One by one, from wealthy Montgomery County, with "a backlog of necessary c:onstruction" kft over from depression and wartime, to St. Mary's County whoa~ representative, State Delegate Joe Mattingly, took the last few mo­ments to request the full support of his colleagues, they acknowl­edged the inability of the local co•.mty governments to swing the job alone and demanded that the state pitch in and help. One of ttem read from the Maryland Constitution of 1867 a provision for a state school fund which should be levied for that purpose alone, nnd kept iuviolate-an impressive statement in the crowded but silent Ass~mbly room where portraits of former Governors looked down from the walls. •

Senator Sothoron handled the sessi.>n rapidly and ably, though in. passively, requesting that there be ·no applause and offering little comfort in .. his closing statement that the committees would con­sider the measures. He then a.Sked "not wanting to embarrass any­body" how many of those present would be agreeable to an increase in the state income tax, then to an increase in the sales t~. "only if necessary." Most of those present hald up their hands for an income tax increase, but not for the sales tax. The meeting ad­journed shortly after tlve, and the road back was much less crowded

Vol. 13 Thursday, March 24, 1949 No. 31

What Gives? The all too evident indifference in which Greenbelt is regarded

waa l:;»rought out clearly at thla last town council meeting. The tactics of th(.; Publi'~ Housing Administration and the

Maryland Park and Planning CommisSion in revising Greenbelt's zoning plan previol,lSly approved by the town council cannot be ignored. We ca:p.not agree with Councilman David Granahan that the ¥PPG "assUm.ed that council members were aware of the re­quest, since they agreed." We assume that the two groups are try­iug to pull a fast one.

_We sincerely hope that the council will insist on retention of all provisions of the or-iginal I•lan. 1

The action of the House ,Ways and Means Committee, in not notifying the local government of the hearings on the Monroney bill, is understandable. The Committee probably doesn't know what state Greenbelt is in and therl~fore didn't know where to send no­tic~ -of the hear~~ .An4-we:n. bet our bottom, dollar PHA didn't enhghten them. -:. :! ·· .. , ·.~ , .. · _

. ... ;. .......... ~

s$rsssshhhh. It is whispered around tlllese parts that the Prince Georges

County government is so full of poli';ics the officials don't have time to conduct the ad'airs of government properly. After taking a qUick glance &.t the judicial syt:.tem of the county, we wonder why it is just, whispered.

The trial magistrates are appointed by the governor for four yea:rs~ .We get a good magistrate, he works hard, iMpartially, and likes· his ,work so well he wants t9 make a career of it. A new goventor is elected anti the boom is lowered. Why couldn't a board of quali4ed lawyers, chosen l:ty the state bar society, have a list ef. qualified persons and appo:int the ones best qualified. By hav­ing ·thE! state bar association rather than the ~ounty do it, there woulu't be cries of collusion.

The orphans' court is a laugh. Three jt•dges are elected and. no professiorial qualiftcations u.re needed. Efforts to eliminate this court, ~hould be followed through successfully and their work turn­ed ·over ·to the circuit courts.

The sh~ri:ff is elected but cannot succeed himself. If he is a good sheriff why limit him to four years? If he could make a life­tune wot·k of it, he'd do the job that much better.

No matter what changes could be made, anyone in government • should remember that at all times he is the servant of tha people.

The situation must be reversed upon too many occasions if whis­pers fl.re heard.

· Sumpin' FQr Nuttin' Last Friday, Public Housing Administrator Jo~n T. Egan told

the House Banking and Currency Committee his office valued Greenbelt at $17,903,000, including $4.500,000 for the 1000 war­housing units. He evidently went into great detail on the high cost oi utility installations and skimmed over, .if it was mention~d at aU, the high cost of labor involved at the time each sectioil of Greenbelt was built.

If we remember rightly there was quite a depression in the 30's. Real estate was flat on its back. Government experts felt that they could show the way back by experimental, large scale housing and at the same time give work to thousands of unem­ployed. Farm Security Administration built three "Green Towns," paying a premium to stimulate industry and to give some of the millions of unemployed a chance to get back on their feet.

The war housing section of Greenbelt was built to meet an im­mediate emergency even th:>ugh labor and materials were too high. Housing was needed to help fight a war, cost was immaterial. (So were some of the materials.)

A factor called·depreciation is usually considered, even by the government. Mr. Egan let it slip that PHA's price was higher than the appraised. value. The appraised value cannot be released!

We don't ·want sumpiri~ for nuttin'. We do want all factors to be considered and a logical price arrived at if Greenbelt is sold. There are people who war..t to buy Greenbelt very badly, Mr. Egan,

· if you must sell it. The Greenbelt Mutual Home OWlien:;hip Corpo­ration (_an tell you who they are .

"I told you we sho.llda joined the pyramid club a week ago when they were still paying off in cash!"

Local Umpires To Get National Softball Rating

The X a tiona! ~:.oft ball .-\ssocia­tion has gi\·en :\I r. Sam Fox per­mission to form an Cmpire .-\sso­ciation. Anyone 'nterested in join­ing tne Prince Ge::>rge County Soft­hall Cmpi1·e .-\sscciation should get in touc:, with :\h. Sam Fox, Rec­reation department director.

The<;e arrangements have been made to carry out the program:

1. Residents are requested to gather new:;papers, discarded furni­ture, old automobile tires, and oth­er debris from their front and back yards, and to organi"e groups in each court to collect debris from public areas in their vicinity.

2. Residents are urged to obtain cartons, bc•xes and old baskets or barrels for the debris, to prevent scattering of trash.

3. On Monday. March 28, four government trucks will S{>end all. day going :ollecting materials gath­ered by re~idents over the weekend.

4. On Saturday, April 2, two gov-­ernment trucks will be on duty all day. Residents desiring a pick-up of trash 011 that day are asked to call the maintenance office from 8 a.m: to 12 noon for collection."

5. On M Jnday, April 4, four gov·· ernment t·:ucks will aga\n· collect trash.

6. Request may be marie at· any time during· th•<! week of March 21-25 inclusiv{· from 8 a.;n. to 4:30p.m. by calling the maintenance office at 6011. It is requested that call> be made only for removal of larg·~ quantities of trash or large pieces of furnitm·e. Normal small quan­tities of t:·ash will be collected if placed at the curb during this week without calling. ·

:\Ir. Cormack emphasized, "This campaign cannot be successfd without the full cooperation and earnest efforts of every resident. It is simplv impossible for the town and gover~ment employees .to· ac­cmnplish ·:he ~ask. The full coop­eration oi the Town Administn,­tion has been pledged by Town :\tanager Charles T. McDonalll. Town emplo~e·es will remove all possible trash at their regular co·.­lections this week."

We might add, Why is the Government in such a big hurry to sell? Uncle Sam is making money on Gre('nbelt. Maybe he can't stand the idea of a government project staying well in the black year in and year out. Must raise hob with his "bookkeeping.

Tips on Tonsils! Released by the TB ..4.ssoc.

The tonsils normally are small almond shaped organs, on'~ on each side of ,he throat. Although it has no!: been provc;d specifically what useful bodily function they perform. it is bdieved that the tonsils help guard the throat against disease and infection.

But sometimes the tonsils them­selves become enlarged ar:d infect­ed, and then they become a menace instead of a protectiox:. A painful illness known as tonsil) it's i ~ the result. Tonsilitis may be danger­ous because the inf<>ction from the diseased tonsils may sprea:l to oth­er parts of the body.

The signs and symptoms of ton­sillitis are a sore throat. u.;ually fe­ver and sometimes chi;ls, diftlculty in swallowing, and, at times, aches in the joints and muscles.

For a .severe attack of acute ton-­sillitis, the doctor may ad.-ise a sulfa drug or penicillin to bring the ton­sillitis under control and to halt the spread of infection. But the doctor is the only person who is qualified ta administer these dru6s and the one who knows how they :;hould be used in each individual case.

The doctor will probab'y advise a person with acute attack of ton­sillitis to remain in bed un ti~: the temperature comes cl0wn to nor­mal, and to stay at home resting for a number of days after the acute stage of the ill11ess is over. Rest is important to enable the patient to regain his strength comph:tely and rebuild his lowP.red resistance to other diseases.

The doctor may also advise that a patient's tonsils be remo\•ed after his illness is over and he bas com­pletely regained his streng·th. He will not recommend that t:1e ton­sils be removed during the attack because .the operation would be dan­gerous to the patient ar.d might cause the infection to spread to oth­er parts of the body.

Marcus N usinov. 3, son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Nusinov, 21-B Parkway, is recovering from an ac-

. ddent which occurred while play­ing in an apartment house basement which contains a wringer type wash­ing machine. Young Marcus caught his right hand in the wringer and was freed after a neighb•)r heard his ·cries. After being treated by Dr. Eisner, he was taken to Childrens Hospital in Washington, D. C., where a "layer of skin one apd one half inches in diameter waH grafted from his right thigh onto his palm. The hand is healing nicely.

Grace, her husband a<ld children, are visiting her home in Newport News, Va.. before leavi11g for the west coast.

Along Our StrE~et with Aunt Penny

Last week we had one of those dark. rainy days wl:.en it's good to hear the crac!de of a warm fire in the fire­place. A perfect day, I thought, to chat '\\ith a few friends on tha telephone.

A few calls would have been all right, but before I knew it, I was monopolizing our teleph,,ne party line.

So that it wouldn't hap}Jen again, I jotted down a list of "p!lrty-line pobts" to remEm­ber when using the telephone. At the top of the list, I wrote "Always aaow some time be­tween cal:s 'so t:.at others have a chance to use the lir.e." The rest of the points were little more than rules of com­mon courtesy. Such thing1;. as not interrupting when some­one's talking on the line, ex­cept to make an extremely urgent call • . . or giving up the line quickly when some­one needs it jn an emergency. All in all, it's the .. little things" that make our paity­line service good service. The Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Company of Balti­more City.
