Former Home of Jacqueline Kennedy Center of Dispute By HELEN THOMAS Washington - (UPC A subur ban zoning controversy in volving Mrs. Jacqueline Ken nedy's girlhood home on the Potomac has touched off one of the angriest well-bred rows in Washington's New Frontier history. The dispute involves move to convert the McLean, Va., estate of Merrywood into a luxury apartment de velopment. It has split some of the nation's powerful po litical and socially promin ent figures into opposing camps. The decision of Mrs. Ken nedy's stepfather, Hugh D. Auchincloss, to sell the 46 acre river estate to an apart ment builder has rattled the teacups and sharpened the conversations in trie nation's capital. It has brought a storm of protest from some McLean properly owners that has had reverberations in the Fair fax county board and on Capitol Hill. Despite the ire of neighbors and friends, Auchincloss, a millionaire broker. Is stand ing firm in his intention to sell Merrywood to builder Sheldon Magazine, who will share his interest with a syn dicate. Magazine will have 50 per cent interest in the purchase. The three other members of the syndicate will share the other 50 per cent. They are Fairfax County Sheriff John Taylor, attorney Lytton H. Gibson, and Wil liam Page, a car dealer. The syndicate signed an op tion lo buy Merrywood with in nine months for about $650,000. Plans call for three 17-story apartment buildings and 50 luxury townhouses on the fenced-in grounds that have long been a landmark of Washington society. The syndicate members ex pect to build the project on the banks of the Potomic at a cost of about $16 million. One nearby McLean resi dent is Atty. Gen. Robert F. Kennedy, who has stayed out of the fight thus far. Would Block Project But a bill which would block the Merrywood apart ment construction has been introduced by Rep. Henry I. Reuss (D-Wis.), a staunch con servationist. It has been re ferred to Robert Kennedy's Justice Department and other agencies for an opinion. In addition to the Reuss bill. Rep. Joel Broyhill (R Va.), has submitted legisla tion which would impose fed eral control over all construc tions along the Potomac river from Great Falls to Mount Vernon - a distance of 20 miles. Two prominent outdoors- men - Interior Secretary Ste wart L. Udall and Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas - added their voices in support of McLean's pro testing residents. Udall, a McLean resident, expressed concern that ap proval of tower apartments on the Potomac would de stroy the beauty of the area. Douulas called the proposed apartments "destructive of the river's shoreline beauty." At the country level. 16 McLean residents have filed a suit to reverse the rezoning, and the court action may inv' pede arrangements for financ ing. But the builders are con fident the case will be re solved in their favor before January.

Mark Hatfield said Sen. Wayne Morse, (D-Ore.) today 4 rejected a na tionally pub lished report that they have made a deal not to cam paign for each other's oppon ent in the N o v e m ber election. The cle slates, is to promote vic tories for each other. Hatfield called this "inac curate and unfounded." In Washington, D. C, Morse did likewise. The report is contained in the July issue of "USA a news magazine published in New York. The article, by Jonathan Rinehart, is titled "Favorite Son From Oregon," and is about Hatfield. Rinehart wrote that "There is a silent but solid gentle men'i agreement between Morse and Hatfield not to campaign seriously against each other on behalf of their otherwise weak tickets." Hatfield's Democratic op ponent for reelection is Atty. Gen. Robert Y. Thornton. Morse's GOP opponent for re election is Sig Unander, for mer state treasurer from Port land. The article includes a picture of Morse and Hatfield taken after a private confer ence between them in the cap- itol here last year. At a news conference after ward, the two veteran politi cal foes stressed cooperation for the state's common good, adding their meeting was "fruitful" and harmonious. They said they discussed vari out issues affecting Oregon, and cited some of them. Meetings between Morse and Hatfield are rare, and newsmen couldn't remember seeing the two more cordial to one another. In Rinehart's article, basc-d on recent interviews with Hat field and others, the caption under the Morse-Hatfield pic ture says an "odd truce pre vails this year between Morse and Hatfield. In a maneuver that would seem outlandish outside Oregon, they agreed in effect to let each other win." Hatfield said "I would join with Sen. Morse in denying the report as inaccurate and unfounded." He also com plained about what he de scribed as other "unfounded facts" in the article, but he did not specify what they were. Morse said there is "no truth" in the story about any truce. "Neither Gov. Hatfield nor I would betray our respective responsibilities to our party ticket," he said. "I have made clear that I am supporting the Democratic ticket and Gov. Hatfield has made clear that he is supporting the Republi can ticket." p. k ri No wond er t 1 he English p so cool! 7 'rr (mix Cjordoifs Qin in a tall, iced drink-and you will, tool J' 15V TV Enclish are not easily la J, even by summer heat.
