$4,000 Sewage Suit
AGAINST Falls Church
Recessed Six Weeks
Court Allows Time for
Counsel on Both Sides
To File Briefs

A $4,000 suit filed by Theodore R.
Arrants and others against the town
OF Falls Church for alleged dam
ages done in their homes by sewer
water flooding their Easements, was
recessed yesterday by Judge Walter
T. Mccarthy in Fairfax County Cir
cult Court. The recess was ordered
to give attorneys for both sides
chance to file their briefs
The complainants, who live in the
Greenway Downs subdivision, allege
that sewage from the towns sewer
system, to which their homes are
connected, backs up and floods base
ments of the dwellings, especially in
rainy weather. 1t was contended
that the town has failed to provide
an adequate sewage disposal system.
John A. K. Donovan, Falls Church
town attorney, contended the faulty
sewer system was chiefly the respon-
sibility of the builders of the homes,
who failed to provide proper check
valves on the sewer line, and had
connected the basement drains to
the line. causing more water to flow
into the system than it was able to
carry off.
Mr. Donovan filed a motion to dis
miss the suit on three grounds
namely, that the builders have
violated the town plumbing code
by failure to provide proper check
valves; that the complainants had
failed to make proper case. and
a decision of the Supreme Court
that all powers delegated to towns
are a governmental exercise of the
various State Legislatures and that
municipalities are not liable for
damage suits Of this nature.
Judge Mccarthy said he would
defer action on the motion until all
testimony and briefs were filed.
Both Mr.. Donovan and Attorney
Frank L. Ball, who represented the
compliments, were given approxi-
mately six weeks to file briefs, at
which time Judge Mccarthy will
render his decision.
The court recessed late yesterday
in order to allow Judge Mccarthy to
visit the homes in question.

Maryland Senate
Will Act Today on
Potomac Oyster Bill.
Debate Is Limited
As Chamber Adopts
New Gag Rule
By the Associated Press.

ANNAPOLIS, April 2.-The much
debated Potomac River oyster bill
which for a short time threatened
to upset plans for final adjournment
of the Legislature tomorrow, was set
for final Senate consideration today
but was not expected. to delay pro-
ceedings long because of the Senate
gag-rule adopted yesterday.
The debate limit was approved by
the upper chamber by 21-to-8 vote
after a judges pension bill had been
threatened by short-lived fllibuster
by Senator Robert E. Kimble, Re-
publican, of Allegany.
Though the gag rule frequently
has been imposed by the House of
Delegates, veteran legislative OBJ
servers said they did not recall a
previous imposition on the part of
the Senate
Time Is Restricted.
Under the cloture rule, each Sena-
tor may speak for 10 minutes on
any one bill and two other legislators
may each yield their allotted time
to him, giving him Z total OF 80
minutes.
The Potomac River oyster bill,
which would open the Potomac to
oystelmen, apparently has enough
hackers to gain Senate approval
with ease, but determined minority
has fought it bitterly.
At Wednesdays session, one of the
proposals chief foes, Senator Horace
H. Bowling, Republican, of st.
Marys. declaring he would do every
thing in his power to defeat the
plan, had asserted he would "stay
here and talk against this bill if 1
have to stay until the Fourth of
July"
The gag rule eliminates any such
threat
Judges Pension Bill Passed.
Final Senate vote on the judges
pension bill was 29-l. with Mr.. Kim
BILE the lone dissenter. Under terms
of the measure, judges who have
reached the age of so would be en-
titled to pension amounting tc
5000 for each year or portion of a
year they served on the bench. The
maximum pension would be $4,000
per year. 1t already had been ap-
proved by the House in slightly diff
ferent form.
Mr.. Kimble offered a sweeping
amendment which would have wiped
out the present system of pension
ing State judges and place the jur-
lists under the State employees re-
tirement system.
However, he was raped down
less than an hour after he had taker
the floor in an apparent effort tc
talk the bill to death.
A total of 49 bills was passed al
the House night session, including
one by Delegate Anthony Didomen.
leo, Democrat, of Baltimore, givine
the State Racing Commission dis.
| cretion to transfer race meeting.
from one track to the other for the
duration of the war, with the pro.
vision that not more than so racine
days be conducted at any one oval. :
Another bill adopted provided fol
continuous tax assessments, ane
would require that all counties be
divided into five districts or classe.
of property, with each district OF
class being reassessed every fifth
year. The Senate already had ap
proved the measure.

Prince Georges
Charge Backed
Federation Supports
Greene Claim; Cast
Gets Star Trophy

The Prince Georges County Fed
Grafton of Citizens Associations last
night supported charge by Daniel
M. Greene, chairman of its Laws and
Legislation Committee, that the
county delegation has Disseminated
against residents of unincorporated
areas in bills introduced at the cur
rent session of the Maryland Legis-
lature. {
The federation, which met at the
Bladenshurg High School, presented
The Star Trophy to its treasurer,
Fred w. Cast of Cheverly, for out
standing service in the organization.
In report on bills sponsored by
county civic groups and which affect
unincorporated areas, Mr.. Greene
declared that I'VE haven't gotten a
thing we asked for. while the towns
have been given practically every
thing they wanted
Popula ton Data Cited.
The charges, which were contained
In a letter to Leroy Pumphrey,
chairman of the county delegation,
pointed out that the majority of the
county's population resides in special
Improvement districts, which are un-
incorporated.
"Why should the wishes of a sub
stantial proportion of the population
of our county be ignored?" Mr..
Greene asked. "Is it jealousy?"
OF the six bills sponsored by resi-
dents of unincorporated areas, only
a part of one was introduced in the
Legislature by the delegation, Mr..
Greene asserted.
Warning that it is short sighted
ness" to ignore these areas, Mr..
Greene pointed to Montgomery
County where, he said, the citizens
became dissatisfied with the way
county affairs were being admin
istered and brought about the
charter movement.
Montgomery Action Recalled.
THAT shows what can happen
when thoroughly aroused citizensy
goes on the war path,' he asserted.
What happened in Montgomery
County can happen in Prince
Georges County. In the final
analysis the people, not their chosen
representatives. are the masters"

County Board Member

On Recreation

Declaring that Arlington County
Is BADLY tagging in constructive
wartime children's recreation pro-
gram, Edmund D. Campbell, men,
ber of the county board, said today
he would ask for the appointment
of a special committee to formulate
definite plans for child recreation.
Mr.. Campbell said he would ask
the board to name the committee
at its meeting tomorrow. He said
the committee would be instructed
to meet with representatives of the
School Board and to make definite
proposals for a child recreation pro-
gram which can be provided for In
the proposed county budget, now
under consideration by the board.
Final action on the county budget
must be taken by April 80.
Citizens Interested.
@1kr. Campbell said he was pleased
at the interest shown by citizens
groups at last weeks budget hearing
IN proposals to purchase land for
Fairgrounds, and added that he
would "hearily support" an appro-
priation for such purpose.
He added, however, that it is also
necessary for Arlington County to
make immediate wartime provisions
for supervised recreation for school
children between the end of the
school day and the time working
parents come home.
I'VE must not forget the child who
goes to school with the door kew
around his neck while his mother is
engaged in war work." Mr.. Campbell
said. I'VE cannot permit these chill
dren to roam the streets. If we
prevent this evil we will be striking
blow at juvenile delinquency at
its source"
More Areas Asked.
Mr.. Campbell said he would sup
port an appropriation from general
county funds to provide supervised
recreation areas on school property.
The administration of these areas,
he explained, could be placed under
the control of the schools which
already have started the nucleus of
a county recreation program.
Mr.. Campbell declared that he
will ask the Arlington Child Care
Committee of the Office of Civilian
Defense. of which he is a member
to make an immediate survey OF
nursery school needs in the county
to determine if private nursery
schools are adequate.
IF we find a need for additional
nursery schools, he said, I'VE must
give prompt consideration to estab-
fishing them with assistance of Lam
ham Act Funds
