Prince William judge dismisses opponents' case The Associated Press (sUnT)iiiocE3 LMJUn 1 1 i visible from any point on the battleground," he vowed. Gov. Allen, a Republican who has been a vocal supporter of the park, said "some well connected folks" have offered "one excuse after another" for blocking the project. "There is no reason for congressional intervention," the governor told the senators. Critics, including some historians, argue that the park and adjacent developments would pollute the air, cause traffic congestion and take away from the serenity of the Manassas battlefield and other historic sites in the region.

Richard Moe, president of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, said the group opposed the park because of "the scale of the overall Disney project and the intensive additional development, the sprawl, that is sure to follow." The project threatens creation of a "synthetic America" by Disney "that overwhelms and ruins forever the treasures of the real thing," said author David McCullough, representing Protect History America, a historical preservation group. QODQDrDaD WASHINGTON Congress shouldn't try to keep Mickey, Goofy and Pluto from coming to Virginia, senators said Tuesday, although critics contend a $650 million Disney's America theme park west of the capital threatens a nearby Civil War battlefield. "The U.S. Senate has no business refereeing every Mickey Mouse dispute around the country," said Sen. Ben Nighthorse Campbell, apologizing for the pun.

In another development, a judge in Prince William County dismissed a lawsuit brought by park opponents against county and state officials, including Gov. George AllerL Circuit Judge Herman Whisenant ruled from the bench after hearing arguments, said Mark Miner, a spokesman for the state attorney general's office. The plaintiffs had contended that: the officials were violating various state laws and zoning regulations by supporting Disney. Nighthorse noted that the hearing by a Senate Energy and Natural Resources subcommittee was only to gather information and not to consider legislation. "We'll listen very intently and then we won't do a thing about it," Campbell added.

Republican senators also criticized suggestions that Congress intervene in the Walt Disney Co. plans for the theme park five miles from the Manassas National Battlefield near Haymarket. "This is a states' rights issue," declared Sen. John Warner, who said he was concerned the hearing might wrongly raise hopes Gov. George Allen, a vocal supporter of the Disney America proposal, testifies on Capitol Hill Tuesday.

ap of federal intervention in the minds of park opponents. Sen. Pete Domenici, echoed several other GOP senators when he said the Congress should not interfere in local authorities' zoning and development decisions when no federal land is directly affected. The $650 million project 35 miles west of Washington envisions a park reflecting historical themes on about 100 acres of land. Plans also call for construction near the park of hotels, a campground, public golf course and commercial buildings.

In all, Walt Disney Co. has purchased 3,000 acres of land for the project. Mark Pacala, general manager of Disney's America, pledged to "go the extra mile" to minimize the impact of the park on nearby communities and the Manassas National Battlefield, one of the most historic of the Civil War. "Disney's America will not impact the battlefield or any other historic site for that matter, nor will any structure on our property be ELECTRIC GLASS CO. Stained Glass Lamps One E.
