4 Speeding Defendants
Go Free in Parkway Cases
A ruling by the Maryland At-
torney General governing traffic
law enforcement along the
Washington-Baltimore Parkway
enabled four men to escape trial
on troffic charges yesterday in
Hyattsville (Md.) Police Court.
Assistant State’s Attorney Er
nest N. Cory, jr.. entered a not
guilty plea for the defendants
before Trial Magistrate Grover
Lee Small. Mr. Cory cited a rul
ing by C. Ferdinand Sybert, the
States legal officer, in which
county and State police are au
thorized to make traffic arrests
along the parkway in certain
stretches.
The Attorney General has
ruled that United States Park
Police have authority over the
entire parkway and that their
arrests must be based on viola
tions of Federal laws.
Ownership Date Governs
State and county police, Mr.
Sybert said, may make arrests
only in those sections of the
parkway obtained specifically for
construction of the thoroughfare.!
They, however. have no authority
to make arrests in those sections
the Government owned before
the parkway was built. This lat-i

Prince Georges to Revise
Transitional Area Zoning
Preparation of suggested re
visions in the Prince Georges
County zoning ordinance to
cover transitional areas was
authorized yesterday by the
Maryland-National Capital Park
and Planning Commission.
The revisions, to be drawn by
C. Warren Giauque, planning
engineer, for consideration of
the County Commissioners, will
include the addition of more
zones to provide for construc
tions not fitting into any defi
nite category under present reg

Among the new zones will be
those for office buildings, agri
cultural land, a transition zone
for changing residential areas,
a zone to permit additional uses
such as motels, planned indus
trial districts and a zone to pro
vide for boarderline uses such
as tinsmiths and plumbing shops

The groups agreed on an

that the SIB,OOO figure is much

privately owned, a concession
made because both groups are

Broyhill Park Residents
Ask Water-Price Hearing
Residents of Broyhill Park sub
division in Fairfax County yes
terday asked the State Corpora
tion Commission to hold a public
hearing on Virginia Water Co.’s
request to increase the price of
water it sells to the Annandale
| Water Co.
Anticipating that any Increase
will be passed along by Annan
dale to its consumers, the Broy
hill Park Civic Association wired
i Lester Hooker, SCC chairman,
urging a hearing in behalf of
' Annandale’s 3,400 customers.
The telegram asked that the
hearing be held in Fairfax
County, preferably at the Fair
fax courthouse. It also suggested
that the hearing be expanded to
include "alleged plans” by An
nandale Water Co. to Insure an
adequate supply without any re
strictions next summer. Col. T.
D. Ashworth, who signed the
telegram, reminded the SCC
chairman that he had advised
Col. Ashworth that no restric
: tlons on water use would be nec
- essary for Annandale customers
■ next year.
Virginia Water Co. has peti
' tioned SCC for permission to
5 charge Annandale 37.5 cents per
f 1.000 gallons. Most of Annan
■ dale’s water supply comes from
Virginia Water Co. Annandale
: currently pays 25 cents per 1,000
■ gallons from Virginia.

Burke Airport Foe
Calls Claims of
Industry 'Humbug'
Walter Jamison, Independent
candidate for the Fairfax Board
of County Supervisors from Falls
> Church district, today charged
’ that county resident “have been
fed a very large dose of false
, and disrepresentative propagan
i da” by proponents of the Burke
Airport.
Mr. Jamison said airport ad
vocates "boldly” claim the in
stallation would employe 7,000
people and the county could
expect some (320,000 In increased'
tax revenues.
He asserted that he had asked
the Air Transport Association to
send him a breakdown on the
anticipated employes, but had
not received the information.
“They have not supplied this
data probably because they know
such an estimate is absurd,”
said Mr. Jamison. He called
claims that the airport would
attract industry a “humbug.”
Beverley Rejects Idea
Os Resigning as Democrat
J Marshall J. Beverley, former
i Mayor of Alexandria, who is or
ganizing a Democrats-for-Eisen
hower movement, declared today
that he “has no Intention of
resigning from the Democratic
jParty.”
State Senator Charles R. Fen
jwick. Democratic Committee j
chairman of Virginia's tenth dis
trict, yesterday suggested Mr.
; Beverley change his party as-j
filiation "openly and not under
I any subterfuge.”
The former Mayor said Sen
ator Fenwick’s suggestions “did
not surprise me because I sup
ported Gov. Stanley, a conserva
tive, against Mr. Fenwick, a New
Dealer, In the 1953 campaign for
the Democratic gubernatorial
nominations.” He said many of
Senator Fenwick’s campaign
leaders “tried their best to get:
me to support him but I de
clined.”
Mr. Beverley also was at- !
tacked yesterday by Samuel D. <
Mcllwaine, new chairman of the ]
- Alexandria Democratic Com
mittee, who said the status of
Democrats signing Mr. Bever
ley’s petitions is being studied..
r :He said’:
t Mr. Beverley countered witlt
: a statement that he now has
the signatures of /around 506'
• “Alexandria Democrats” on the
s'2o Eisenhower petitions he is
circulating. He added that “the
. Democratic Party in Alexandria
(is all split up. The average party,
member doesn’t even know who_
is on the city committee.”
Declaring he was a “Byrd'
Democrat,” Mr. Beverley said he
believes that if President Eisen
hower runs again “the Demo
crats in Northern Virginia will
support him as they did in the
last campaign and Virginia will
go Republican again.”
Mr. Beverley said the Virginia
attorney general ruled during
the last presidential campaign
that Democrats could vote for a
Republican in a presidential
election and still remain in the
party.
