There was no doubt that the

FROM STAFF
Patients Neglected,
Price Charges

Branding the Group Health AS
sociation as rendering "unsatis
factory medical service" DR.. Rich
ard H. Price today rendered his
resignation as a member of the
staff.
The charges made by DR.. Price
are similar to those made by the
District Medical Society and the
Americ an Medical Association
against group-health organiza
tions, that they fail to render
proper service to the sick.
Four Charges Listed
Specific charges made by DR.
Price are:
/. That members are forced
to wait days and even weeks
for an appointment, when it
is imperative that they be given
immediate medical attention.
2. That members are treated
"like a herd of sheep" rather
than given the personal service
afforded private patients.
3. That a number Of persons
are in need of major operations,
but that these operations have
been delayed.
4. That calls are made at
homes by physicians other
than those who have seen the
patients at the clinic and are
familiar with the cases.
On Staff a Year
DR.. Price, who has been mem
ber of the CHA staff for about
a year, rendered his resignation
today to the medical director
effective the end of the month
Officials of CHA were surprised
when notified of DR.. Prices resig
nation, stating they had not beer
informed of his action, and de
clined to comment on the charges
he made.
Explaining his resignation, DR.
Price said:
"I know of a number of cases
of persons who are in need of
operations, and these have been
delayed from month to month,
and in some instances year has
passed and still the operations
have not been performed.
II know of cases, literally
hundreds of cases, where persons
have been in need of medical
care, but they have been forced
to wait for appointments.
why these conditions are per-
mitted, / do not know. That is
up to the officials of the asso-
citation. But 1 do know that
many members are very much
dissatisfied with the service"

MOVE HALTED
At HEARING
Religion Not Issue,
Senator Warns
BY ARTHUR HACHTEN

1.N.SD An oblique attack on
the nomination of Prof. Felix
Frankfurter to be an associate JUS
tice of the United States Supreme
Court-a reference to Jews-was
choked off today at Senate hear
ing with a wrathful denunciation
by a leading Republican-Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho.
Before a crowded chamber in
which Senate Judiciary Commit
tee started hearings OH President
RooseVelt's appointment of the
famous Harvard liberal, the Idaho
Senator demanded that all allu-
sions to SemitiSm be omitted.
Testimony Halted
Coils o. Redd, of Washington,
representing the National Cru
$aderS of America, was the first
witness to testify in opposition to
Frankfurtel confirmation by the
Senate. He started to quote from
newspaper articles on the so
called Jewish question"
Senator Borah interrupted him
Immediately.
Are you here opposing
Frankfurter on the ground that
he is a Jew?" the shaggy
headed Senator demanded.
NO" Redd replied in an
abashed tone.
Then" Borah snapped,
why drag this matter into the
record? They have nothing to
do with Frankfurter'S qualifi-
cations"
Hits NRA Stand
The witness explained that he
was opposed to Frankfurter be
cause he sponsored the NRA
which the Supreme Court unani-
mously declared uncon stitu-
tional."
Let's stick to that" Borah
said.
Dean G.. Acheson, designated by
Frankfurter as an observer for him,
sat beside the witness stand. Only
about 200 persons were able to
gain admission to the tiny hearing
room, some of them standing along
the walls.
Chairman Matthew M. Neely
CD, West Virginia, wearing a
light brown suit, posed for cam
eramen with the tall, mouStaChed
Acheson, who studied under Prof.
Frankfurter and later served as
Undersecretary Of the Treasury.
Committee members present be-

Upon motion of Connally the

witness to 80 minutes. Norris was
the only one to vote no"
There we're roars of laughter
among the spectators and also

specialized man said he repre-

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1939-03-30

Six years ago, Principal Loren F.
Schott conceived the idea of having
student government, run by the
students, for the good of all the
students at Richard Montgomery High
School. He fostered and nurtured the
plan until today Richard Montgomery
High School has one of the few out
standing student governments in the
country, and because of this fact it
has won nationwide acclaim.
The student government of the
Richard Montgomery Junior Republic
is patterned as nearly as possible on
the plan of the government of the
United States of America.
The student government is made up
of three main branches: the legisla-
tive, the judicial and the executive.
The legislative branch makes the
laws; the judicial branch passes judg-
ment on. a law, and the executive
branch enforces the laws. The legisla-
tive branch has been changed. this
year from bicameral system of leg
islature to unicameral system. This
change was made to allow the dele.
gates to carry on the duties of their
Office and miss as few class periods as
possible. Along with the major change
in set-up of this department, the
school senate has revised the constitu-l
ton, codified all existing laws. and
made it possible for many students to
attend its meetings as spectators.
The speaker of the house of delegates
this year is Paul Chmar and the floor
leader is George Lechlider.
The judicial branch of the Junior
Republic is the student court. The
student court is composed of three
student judges appointed by the presi-

hoped that this column will remain

Although this county wide rally
took place in November 1898, there
are few people who know about it,
much less that troop 231 received the
most medals and won the inspection
streamer.
This rally consisted of such events
as fire building, cooking, first aid,
tent pitching, map making, pioneering
and signaling, This was well conduct
ed by learned judges from Washing
ton.
To start the afternoon off right, our
troop stood in pouring down rain dur
ing the inspection, but it was well
worth it as we received a streamer for
winning the inspection. Next came the
regular events as mentioned above. In
fire building Wilson Everhart took
first place. Keith Miller and Alfred
Wilson dragged down the honors in
tent pitching. Billy Talbot took first
place in signaling, Warren Fisher our
knot tieing wizard tied knots and read
the requirements at the same time,
other winners were, Harry Seguin in
archery and few second places.
Very few people yet know that we
won this rally and we believe that we
really do deserve support from our
town. We had more people from
Washington than from Rockville. So

out in full for the next rally.

Maryland Has Problem
Developing Roads To
Meet Requirements
Continued from page y

Continued from page y
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor to
remedy existing conditions.
In the rural counties the farm-to-
market roads enter into the picture.
1t is held highly important by the
present administration and by the
Bureau of. Public Roads Ia unit of the
IT, s. Department of Agriculturey
that these rural thoroughfares be i'm
proved and tied in with the general
highway program.
In connection with the Highway
Planning Survey, it may be stated
that these surveys are being carried
on in as states. Congress has pro-
vided that in all recent acts carrying
appropriations for roads, beginning
with the Hayden Cartwright Act of
1884, that IN per cent of the funds
may be spent for surveys, plans and
Investigations of projects for future
construction. Under this Congression-
al provision it is possible for Mary
land to study her road plans. To deal
with our local problems:
Montgomery County has an area of
521 square miles and population
variously estimated from sixty to
sixty-five thousand. It's tax rate is
$3.50 and its total estimated valua-
ton in 1886 was $136,145,057. There
are IL incorporated towns and 10 un-
incorporated places with population
of 200 or more. Over 80 per cent of
the population of the county is in
these towns.
The mileage of public roads in the
County include 1873 miles of State
highways and 1.9 miles of County
roads within municipalities. The State
roads, paved and surfaced, add up to
316.1 miles, or 1923 per cent of the
total road mileage. The County roads
total 637.9, or 66.3 per cent. Other
public roads amount to 8 per cent of
the total.
Outside of the IL Incorporated
towns there are about 11,750 dwell
ings and farm units. About 26, or only
2 per cent are not situated along
any public road. The better rural
roads (paved and surfaced), while
constituting 6S.2 per cent of the total
mileage, serve 87.6 per cent of the
farm units and year-round dwellings
and carry 97.4 per cent of the traffic.
On the other hand, the poorer roads
(graded and unimproved), while con-
stituting 1868 per cent of the total
mileage, serve directly 12.4 per cent
of the farm units in year-round dwell
ings and carry &c per cent of the
traffic.
From this preliminary survey the
State Roads Commission should be
able to act in each county and toward
the maintenance and perpetuation of
its main State highways. Although
the survey was inaugurated and con-
Quoted under a past administration
(Nice) there appears to be no logical
reason why it cannot be used as a
basic report for future bodybuilding,
The majority of our citizens, being
automobile users, already are familiar
! with our problem in Maryland.
