i Montgomery Will Ask
i Charter Change to Ban
j Finance Referendums
l The Montgome» County Com
; mlssioners and the Maryland-Na
• tional Capital Park and Planning
; Commission will ask the Maryland
r Court of Appeals to delete from the
l proposed county charter a provision
they say would make appropriation
measures subject to a referendum
and perhaps "paralyze” county
finances.
The decision was announced at a
special meeting yesterday of the
commissioners and planning com
; mission representatives in the Rock
; ville Courthouse. Also attending the
| conference was H. W. Buckler. jr„
: of the Baltimore law firm of Niles,
i Barton, Morrow & Yost.
County Supervisor Irving G
McNayr said the firm will represent
the county heads and the planning
commission in an appeal from the
recent Circuit Court decision order
ing a referendum in November cm
the proposed “home rule” plan.
In its decision, the court ordered
removed fropi the proposed charter
a clause dealing with the appropria
tion of funds by a county council
in a June executive session.
Previously Ruled Unconstitutional.
This had previously been ruled j
unconstitutional on the ground it |
was a legislative function and should
be done in May, the month set j
aside in the charter for the adop- \
tion of laws.
The appeal was filed last week
by Hubert A. Schneider, Bethesda
and Washington attorney, who is;
seeking to block a charter referen
dum.
According to Mr. McNayr, yes-j
terday's decision resulted from a;
warning by Mr. Buckler that the
revised charter is unworkable since
it would permit county voters to
call for a referendum on all laws,
including the annual tax levy.
Such a move it was explained,
could paralyze the financial opera
tion of the county government by[
delaying adoption of a budget pend
ing outcome of the referendum.
Berlin Children Bring
Own Classroom Stools
By the Associated Press
BERLIN. — In battered, over
crowded postwar Berlin thousands
of school children have to bring
their own stools if they want to sit
down during classes. It was bad
enough last year and, the education
ministry announces, it's going to be
worse for the new term opening this
fall. Whereas 24,000 children pupils
were graduated last year, room has
to be made for 50,000 beginners in
the new term.

ICC Ads to Enlarge
Commercial Zone in
Washington Area
The Interstate Commerce Com
mission announced yesterday it is
enlarging the Washington commer
cial sone, effective September 30.
A commercial zone is the area'
Immediately adjoining a city in
which motor carriers may operate
under local jurisdiction without ob
taining specific ICC authority for
their movements.
The enlargement of the zone to
include additional suburban areas
was asked by the Capital Transit
Co. and various trucking and delivery
services. The present zone was out
lined in 1937 and embraces the com
munities of Garrett Park, Kensing
ton, Chillum, Riverdale, Seat Pleas
ant and Hvattsville in Maryland,
and Arlington and Alexandria in
Virginia.
The ICC extended the area, ex
plaining such action was warranted
by the steadily increasing popula
tion. The commission, however,
turned down suggestions that the
new zone should be extended to in
clude such Maryland and Virginia
places as Rockville, Laurel, Bowie,
Upper Marlboro, Andrews Field,
Fairfax and Great Falls. Beltsville
is included in the new zone.
The new' order will not affect
the efforts of Capital Transit to end
the joint fare arrangements with
Virginia bus companies serving Gov
ernment establishments in the near
by area of Virginia, in the opinion
of Lloyd B. Harrison of the Dis
trict Corporation Counsel's office.
While regulation of carriers wuthin
a commercial zone is left to the
State or city regulatory bodies hav
ing jurisdiction there, the ICC ex
ercises jurisdiction only if it finds it
necessary in order to carry out its
national transportation policy.
An attorney for a Virginia bus
line said it was his opinion none of
the Virginia lines would be affected
by the order. Trucking companies,
it was explained, asked that the zone
be extended primarily so they could
make local deliveries without ICC
regulation ol their activities.
Ulster House to Debate
North Channel Tunnel
By th« Associated Press
BELFAST, Ireland.—The Ulster
House of Commons has agreed to
debate a proposal to link Scotland
and Northern Ireland with a 19
mile tunnel running under the
North Channel.
John W. Nixon, Parliament mem
ber, estimates the cost at $400,000,
000. He argues that mail, milk, but
ter, eggs and other freight now
flown from Ulster to Scotland and
England could be sent so much
more cheaply by tunnST that the
project would justify its cost. A
North Ireland government spokes
man pooh-poohed the idea, how
ever. “In this air age,” he said, I
think the provision of a tunnel is a
hopeless absurdity.’*

Korea Regime to Ask
Recognition by Soviet
•y th» Associated Press
SEOUL, Aug. 18.—The new Ko
rean government, ignored by Russia
since its formation early this year,
will make a friendly approach to
the Soviet Union for recognition.
President Syrgman Rhee said today.
The American - educated Korean
leader said the approach, however,
will not be until the United Nations
General Assembly had reviewed es
tablishment of the new government.
Russia, which occupies the north
ern half of Korea, refused to permit
a U. N. commission to conduct an
election in the north section in
May when the southern half named
the present government.
Korean , Communist forces in
North Korea have been bristling at
the southern half since the election.
Rhee has said American troops
would not be withdrawn from the
United States zone until the south
ern forces were able to withstand
any force the northern half might
try to use to upset the democratic
government.
Pensions for Fiancees
PRAGUE (/Pt.—Fiancees of Czech
oslovak resistance fighters who died

benefits of war widows, a new bill
provides. In addition to pensions,
the new war widow might be given
a share of her husband's property.
The bill also provided for giving
children of such fighters their fath
er’s names, payments for their edu
cation and the right to Inherit
property.

Engine Spotting by Boys
Banned in Birmingham
By the Associated Press
BIRMINGHAM, England.—Rail
way authorities have banned "an-!
gine spotting” at busy Tamworthi
Station. "Engine spotting” is the
hobby—a favorite among Britisn
youngsters—of watching the trains
come in and making a collection of
the locomotive numbers. At Tam
worth Station 80 expresses and
many fast freights pass through
each day.
District Manager J. B. Punkley
said as many as 250 boys have
crowded the station pursuing their,
hobby and that they get in the
way of passengers.
In 1944. the United States Im
ported and used more than 12,500.

2,000-Carat Black Star
Sapphire Is Claimed
•y Hi* Associated Frau
BRISBANE, Australia. — Harry
Spencer, a Queensland gem buyer,
says he has a 2,000-carat black star
sapphire. The ^one, he says, is
much larger than that shown re
cently by a New York jeweler.
Both the stone shown in New
York and the one Mr. Spencer says
he has came from Australia and
from the same mine. The New York
stone was found 10 years ago, the
Spencer stone 7 years ago. Mr.
Spencer says he has refused all
offers for the larger stone because
he would have to pay most of any
money he received for it in taxes.

Greenland Expedition
Planned by French
|y the Associated Prest
PARIS —The first French Arctic
expedition since the war is going
to Greenland, its leader, Paul Emile
Victor, says. “We are not going to
look for uranium.'’ he says. "Our
work has no military purpose.”
He and his 30 fellow explorers
will spend about six months meas
uring the thickness of the polar
ice cap and making other scientific
studies. The ice cap measurements
are part of an attempt to find out
if the earth is getting colder or
hotter. Mr. Victor says that the
Arctic trip will be a tryout for a
two or three year expedition to the
Antarctic afterward.
