a a a a of Urges Battle Ask For Bridge-Tunnel Meet Having received rejection Brig. Gen. James A. Anderson, State Highway Department commissioner, for a public hearing the proposed Hampton Roads bridge-tunnel, Lee Ford, who said he represents Hampton a clients objecting to the project, yesterday carried his plea Governor John Battle in the form of a letter. Ford made letter to Anderson requesting previously, an open hearing proposal.

Yesterday he made" public" a copy Gen. Anderson's reply and copy of a letter to Gov. Battle, asking his interest in arranging a public hearing. Gen. Anderson's letter refers the point that Ford said he represents who object to the proposed construction of the bridgetunnel, and stated: "The State Highway Commission is always glad to afford a hearing on any matter, but if your request is granted, the Commission, if quested, would be required to hear all individual objectors to this project.

This would obviously be most, if not, impossible. Commission believes it is more practical to hear the local bodies of political subdivisions affected by the proposed project. "The Commission, in carrying out the provision of the 'State Revenue Bond has awarded contracts preliminary engineering studies to secure necessary data to enable reach a proper decision as future plans. "In the meantime, the governing bodies of the area will be afforded an opportunity to meet with the commission to discuss and determine the feasibility of further proceedings. The Commission contemplates the construction of the project unless circumstances now unknown develop.

"The Commission is advised that it has authority 'to make expenditures from its funds for preliminary funds." In his letter to Governor Battle, Ford said, "I am enclosing herewith copy of letter dated June 15th from Mr. J. A. Anderson, chairman of the Highway Commission and my reply this, "May date I thereto. respectfully represent you at this time that there are many people on the Virginia Peninsula, including my clients, who entertain serious objections to the proposed construction of the Old Point-Willoughby bridge-tunnel project and we feel that we should be given the right of petition before the entire Highway Commission, but apparently Mr.

Anderson is of a differene of opinion. "I respectfully request you do all that is possible see that the right of our citizens make an appearto ance before at a the convenient Highway time Commission and place, assured us." In a reply to Anderson's letter, Ford pointed out exactly what you should do," regarding the commission hearing all individual objectors to the project. He added, "That is the purpose an open hearing and some kind of meeting, perhaps private, tween you and local governing bodies does not suffice." Ford points out that the Commission undoubtedly has, had many open hearings previously as to projects. He points out that examination of records of the commission showed there were several of the Commission with delegations of citizens in connection with the contemplated construction of the Rappahannock River bridge. "I am not aware that the individual citizen, or groups of citizens, have lost the right of petition before our commission or any other commission upon matters vitally affecting them," Ford insisted in his letter.

"The right of petition is not satisfied by any meeting with local governing bodies. Neither am aware that you would have to grant open hearings each time some local citizen wished to appear before you. However, if you set one open hearing and, gave sufficient notice, all persons interested could appear at one meeting. That is what I requested of you previously and that is what I urgently insist upon at this time." FIRE RECORD NEWPORT NEWS 1:10 P. M.

"They said they didn't even know that Mr. Lewis McMurran lived at that residence." Chief Peach said he had dicussed the case with Commonwealth's Attorney William L.

Carleton and that in view of the statement given by the two youths, it was not deemed necessary that prosecution be undertaken. "There was no evidence to show anything other than that they were playing a prank and Mr. McMurran himself urged that the entire matter be dropped in veiw of the Chief Peach said the two youths told him and McMurran that the incident had worried them so much they could not sleep and they wanted to make a full detail of the event. "Both of the youths came in and gave the full facts," Chief Peach said. He said they told him and McMurran that after they put the Cross on the lawn on Huntington Ave.

and seeing it blaze up they were of a mind to return and remove it or extinguish it, but did do so. "Mr. McMurran said emphatically he does not desire to press Chief Peach said. The cross was propped against a hedge on the 60th St. side of the yard and was seen burning by neighbors, several of whom went to it.

The fire department responded to a call and assisted in exterminating the blaze, caused by a burning cloth wrapped about the cross and saturated with an inflammable liquid. The cross was described as about five feet in height and three feet in width.

T-Corps Chief ARC Seeks Among Heads Blood Donors At Air Meet To Save Lives Brig. Gen. Paul F. Yount, acting chief of Transportation, heads a list of civilian and military air transportation authorities slated to discuss "air aspects of military movement" during a two-day meeting at Fort Eustis tomorrow and Friday.

Gen. Yount will address a dinner meeting of Cargo Advisory Committee which is holding its (semi-annual gathering at Eustis. The committee draws membership from the top jobs in the Nation's air industry. Its function is to investigate current and anticipated probems in air cargo movement. Army officials indicated yesterday the principal subjects to be aired during the committee's Eustis will include: Helicopter ship-to-shore transport and design of new terminal equipped to handle large masses of troops and supplies.

Brig. Gen. Frank S. Besson, acting assistant chief of Transportation, also will play an important part in the proceedings. Gen.

Besson is slated to take command of Eustis upon the transfere of Brig. Gen. Harold R. Duffie. Gen.

Besson has been assistant chief of Transportation, for by the the air Army to program be well versed on T-Corps activities and problems regarding air movements. Eustis officials slated for rolls in the meeting are Col. E. C. R.

Lasher, assistant commandant of the Eustis T-School and Col. A. W. Lyons, commanding officer of the Transportation Research and Development Station. TRADS will be the official host of the meeting and air technicians from that organization will compliment Col.

Lyons' remarks to the committee. The program is arranged to include discussion periods in several demonstratoins of TRADS development in the air transportation field. Various types of T-Corps aircraft are being exhibited Thursday Service League Sponsors Dance For Speech School The Hampton Roads Service Lea-1 gue is sponsoring its fourth benefit ball Friday from to 12 P. M. at the Grand View Ballroom.

Proceeds from the dance go to the league's School of Speech. Mrs. George Harrison is chairman of the affair with Mrs. S. Cletus Johnson assisting.

Music will be by the Southerners. The Speech School, of which Miss Libby is director therapist, recently completed its 1952-1953 year. Since September three diagnostic nics have been held, with 60 diagnoses being made. In addition 42 children were rechecked. A number of these children came from points as distant as Smithfield, Dare, Selden, Williamsburg Tidemill and Irvington, which indicates the increasingly large area the school is serving.

During the year Miss Radus carried a full class load, averaging 33 pupils for lessons each week. Speech training, it was pointed out, is a very slow process and for this reason all of the present enrollees will return in September for additional therapy on a regular schedule. Although some few whose problems were such that they benefited more quickly by training may be released, the need for an additional speech therapist is apparent, Mrs. Harrison said. In addition to the group enrolled there are at present 24 requests for appointments for the September direnastic, diagnosed clinic.

this Nineteen year children remain on althe waiting list because there was no time available in the full schedule. Another 45 who were checked in the past should be rechecked in the Fall, speech school authorities feel. The dance proceeds will help meet the increased budget needs if an additional therapist can be secured for the coming year. Mrs. Harrison said it is hoped that by so doing the Speech School will serve the community more adequately and efficiently and maintain a closer contact with public schools on the Lower I Peninsula.

DAILY PRESS, Newport News Hampton Warwick, Wednesday, June 17, 1953 3 Appeals Board Will Continue Zoning Meets A joint session of the Planning Commission and the Zoning Appeals Board hashed over Warwick's zoning problems thoroughly before ending up where exactly negotiations began. No major, changes in the present system were made. Three recommendations did come out of the free talking rezoning recommendations and minutes of the rezoning hearings will be forwarded to the planners for future study use. planners every two years beginning September, 1951, will review the entire zoning map of Warwick with an eye toward scale changes if conditions warrant them. consideration will be given to the drafting revision to the zoning law allowing a new classification for doctors, dentists professional zone.

The session last night had been called at the initiation the appeals board. The appeals body contended since the planning commission originated zoning and had been charged with major changes and overall city planning, that rezoning (spot zoning) recommendations should come from it. A lengthy hassle over the rights and duties of each of the citizen committees ensued. Zoning appeals board members supervision over the "masterplan" was a planning matter. The planners contended once the masterplan had been created, the responsibility making recommendations on changes rested with powers a such citizen as body the of appeals judicial has.

The suggestions for revision of the zoning map every two years and that the planners be given copies of the zoning board's spot zoning ing minutes, eased the divergence. The appeals board, though some of its still insisted the duty was planning, went along. The voting was unanimous. Whether city has a master plan under true meaning of the the term and qualifying State law, provoked another controversy. The meeting was divided on the issue.

Most appeared to side with City Manager J. C. Morris. He contended the city's "master plan" met the full requirements of the law. Others, however, while not advocating the expensive costs of a complete masterplan, contended the city had a start in its zoning map but no complete overall plan of future growth and development of the city.

The issue was ruled unimportant to the meeting and dropped. The biennial review of the zoning map will be done by a sub-committee of the planners with the appeals board chairman sitting in. Because all the recommendations agred on last night are of an interagency nature, no suggestions were passed on to the council for action. The creation of a professional zone was approached toward the last of the meeting. The idea is to allow doctors and like professional men to locate in residential areas without running the risk of commercial developments following.

Both groups decided to take the matter up at their next raeetings and the suggestions will be formulated into a definite ordinance revision after all suggestions have been considered. Warwick's Board of Zoning Appeals will continue as a sounding board of public opinion on spot rezoning requests was concluded as the upshot of two and half hours of heated discussion last night.
