Page 8, Register-Guard, Eugene, Pro., Thurs,, July 29, 1948 New Zoning Ordinance for City Takes Effect After Overhauling (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) hodge-podge ' system of zoning which had grown up in the city tn previous years, the new ordi nance will effect a number of significant changes. Eleven Classes Eleven land-use designations are provided in place of the five in use before. By providing more specific definitions, the new ordi nance will eliminate many "loop holes." It also will be more flex ible in application through this provision of additional land-use categories. Added to the former list of classifications for city property have been those for central busi ness district, limited commercial, limited industrial, outer residen tial and public lands. Arterial Setbacks The new ordinance imposes 52 foot setbacks (measured from the center of the street) on all build ings to be erected along certain streets which have been marked for future development into a citywide arterial traffic system. Attacking at least a portion of the parking problem, the ordi nance also requires all new com merial and industrial develop ments to make provision for load ing zones. Land-Use Map In applying the various zoning classifications, the council adopted a land-use map at the same time the ordinance itself was passed. This map shows the classifica tion approved for each lot in the city. As compared with previous zoning, the new map includes a much greater number of multiple family residential sites, especially on the west side of the city. Also significant is the expansion of the area zoned for light industrial purposes in the northwest portion of town. The most hotly contested zoning- Issue of the year la still un decided, however.

Satan's Hell Drivers to Crash Two Autos at Fairgrounds Paper Names Spy Leader NEW YORK (U.PJ The leader of a Soviet spy ring whose con fessions allegedly touched off a grand Jury investigation of Com munism was identified Wednes day as Miss Elizabeth T. Bentley, of New York City, by the New York World-Telegram. Miss Bentley has been called to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee in Washington. Committee Investiga tor Robert Stribling said she was a witness who had testified be fore the grand jury investigating Communism in New York. During the war, the World-Telegram said, Miss Bentley, 36, was vice-president of the U. S. Service and Shipping Corp. of New York, which was Communist - organized and had an exclusive franchise to collect customs duties on relief package folng to me Soviet Union. , In a series of dispatches last week the World-Telegram said that Miss Bentley, then unnamed, actually headed a ring of agents, many of them government em ployes which gathered secret poli tical and military information for Russia. According to the newspaper, Miss Bentley now is a secretary stenographer for a New York City business firm. The newspaper said it held her name secret until it was revealed by government offi cials. It quoted her as saying: "I am not enthusiastic about the publicity I shall receive, but. Just as I went to the FBI and later ap peared before the grand Jury, I will now cooperate with the com mittee and any other American agencies which feel I can be of service." The newspaper said that Miss Bentley, New England born and a member of an old American fam ily, suffered pangs of conscience about her work in 1945 and went to the FBI with her story. X-Ray Makes Super Tuber UPTON, N. Y. (U.B A potato patch that may lead to a variety greater in yield and resistant to bugs is growing here almost with In the shadow of the country's iirsi postwar atomic energy pile The plants in the patch ar ordi nary potatoes in one way; in an- tner way, tney are not. Dr. Leslie F. Nims, head of the biology department of Brook haven National Laboratory, ex plained that the potatoes are or dinary in that they were selected from the common garden variety lot. The difference, however, is that they were X-rayed before planting. A super-duper potato may be the ultimate result. The plantings were divided into i lots with some receiving more radiation than others. Purpose of the experiment is to determine the effect of radiation on plants. The plants growing from heavi ly x-rayea seeds are scrawny, and in one, particular row only one plant came up.
