BETHESDA, Md., September 14.—In an atmosphere that was surcharged with acrimonious discu¥sion, scores of resi- dents along the Rockville pike, and others who live back from the roadway in the vicinity of Halpine, together with real estate operators and others inter- ested in rezoning residential land to Industrial and commercial, appeared last night at the county buflding here be- fore the board of county commissioners, sitting as a zoning board of appea’s. For nearly three hours the board listened to arguments for and against the petitions to rezone. On the one hand, the owners pléaded with the commission to uphold the Maryland Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission, which had disapproved the proposed changes, pointing out that scores of people had spent thousands of dollars to develop the residential section, and had increased the taxible basis of the land.

Three Petitions Heard. ‘Three petitions were taken up by the board. One is for the rezoning to commercial of parcels of land border- ing on the pike at the eastern side of the air field, for the purpose of erecting ministration building and a filling : the second petition is that of Frank L. Hewitt and associates for re- zoning to industrial of a parcel of land on the railroad track about a thousand feet back from the pike at Halpine, sald to be wantéd for an airplane (ac-‘ while the third is that of T. H. Lenovitz, for the rezoning of another parcel in the same section for use s a distributing station for a domestic cook« ing gas. When A. B, Cameron, representing the gas products company, was asked ‘why the company could not find another site at another place, and why it had to have the one at Halpine. he said that it would increase the cost of the product, due to transportation charges. He was asked if the matter was one merely of a financial consideration of the company, and when he replied in the affirmative, the speaker sald the financial question was exactly the con- sideration of the residents and that ‘hey did not want to lose. ‘When Harry Martin sought to point out that the gas plant would be more désirable than a “settlement of colored bootleggers,” Mrs. Philander C. Johnson took the floor and said one of the in- dividuals to which the spea%ker referred | lived on: her property, and demanded proof of his statement, and Martin spoke no more on this point. Mus. Johnson said that if industrial zoning was allowed she would not be able to live in the home which had becn selected as her residence. people of Montgomery County must be looked after. He contended that it was inconceivable that any damage could come to residential property by the proposed rezoning.

Brandenburg, one of the property owners along the pike, toid Mr. Horton that he had spoke in-gen- eralities and gave the impression that the airport had some connection with the Government. He asked him directly | if it had any such connection. M. Horton said that he did not_intend to give that impression, and that the air- port had no connection with the Gov- ernment. Dion Blerney also spoke in | favor of the airport rezoning. | A letter was read from George E. Hamilton opposing the reclassifications, and Harold E. Doyle pointed out that Mr. Hamilton merely referred to the preservation of Wisconsin avenue. He! pointed also that.E. Brooke Lee was making a similar industrial area in the Silver Spring section, right under his own home. Declaring that there was nothing of 80 great importance to the lower end of Montgomery County that this matter of rezoning, Mr. Brandenburg told the| board that the situation came down to the quesiion as to whether or not the| acting creating the metropolitan dis- | trict was a mere scrap of paper. He| added that once the board ruled against the planning commission and granted | the change for the airport, it would lose all control over it and soft drink, | hot dog and other similar establish- ments could be put in.
