Montgomery Office
OF Veterans Agency
Urged by CarIin
Present Regional Plan
Creotes Severe Hardship,
Aid Council Head Says

Declaring the policy under which
Montgomery County veterans must
deal with the Veterans Administra-
ton Office in Baltimore creates a
severe hardship" William F. Carlin,
president of the Service Aid Council
Of Selective Service Board No.
area, yesterday told the Silver
Spring Rotary Club the council is
seeking a more convenient setup for
veterans.
Mr.. Carlin, also a member of the
Montgomery County Veterans Ad-
visory Committee appointed by Gov.
lO'Conor, said the council has sug-
gested to the Veterans Administra-
ton that the Nation be zoned with
out regard to State lines, or that Of
fees be established in each county
II these plans are not practicable
Mr.. Carlin said, the council advo-
Gates that veterans from Montgom-
cry County and other Maryland
areas adjacent to Washington be
permitted to use District facilities
Of the Veterans Administration. He
pointed out that under present ar
rangements, discharged veterans in
nearby Virginia must get in touch
with the Office at Roanoke for claim
adjustments.
He appealed for Rotary Club sup
port for the proposed change. Other
local groups also will be asked ts
support the proposal, he added.
Mr.. Carlin also discussed the work
OF the Service Aid Council, stating il
was the first of its kind in the coun.
try. Besides assisting those dis.
charged from service, it has ex.
tended important assistance te

Legislative Council
Hears Juvenile Court
Plan for Maryland
Counties Without ResuIoI
Children's Judge Would
Be Under Circuit Bench
By the Associated pres.-


BALTIMORE, Sept. 2S.-J. Nil.
ton Patterson, State Public Welfare
Department director, has recon-
mended to the Legislative Council
that in Maryland counties where
there are no Juvenile Courts, the
Circuit Courts should be DESIGNATED
to have jurisdiction over all cases
involving children under l6 years
of age.
The council also heard yester.
day q recommendation of DR.. H. G.
Byrd, president Of the University of
Maryland, that the university be
exempt from supervision Of the
Standard Salary Board because
"the Board Of Regents holds that
a court test would prove the uni.
versity not subject" to its pro-
visions.
Funds From individuals.
Primarily, the University of Mary
land is different from other State
institutions in that it operates
largely on funds paid to the uni
versity by individuals for specific
purposes rendered" DR.. Byrd said.
Mr.. Patterson said the child well
fare situation was at present "con-
fused, because in some counties
there are several magistrates who
have authority over childrens' cases,
whose authority is not clear-cut, as
they have concurrent jurisdiction
with courts upon waiver Of jury
trial by the accused"
This jurisdiction Of the magis-
trates applies only to cases of pre-
l1minary hearings of persons charged
with offenses' Justices of the peace
also have authority to commit chill
dren to any public or private insti-
tuition or agency, so this further
complicates and confuses the child
welfare work In the local communi.
ties"
Recommended Uniform Law.
Mr.. Patterson said the Governors
Commission on Juvenile Delinquency
recommended uniform Statewide
court law to care for children, but
the Legislature in adopting the act
made it applicable only to Baltimore
City.
AT the present time, there are
approximately half of the counties in
the State which have public foster
home placement services able to care
adequately for dependent and neg
lected children"

Montgomery County
Civic Group Stresses
Master Plan Urgency
Report by Federation
Will Be, Discussed at
Meeting in Bethesda

The importance OF completing tht
master plan Of land use in suburban
Montgomery County before the wal
ends and building activity resume.
is stressed In a report released by 8
subcommittee of the Legislation ane
Legal Action Committee Of the
Montgomery County Civic Fedora.
ton.
Signed by Richard B. Barker
president of the federation, the re.
port covers master plan and zonine
in relation to postwar planning. II
will be the chief topic of discussion
at the first fall meeting of the fed.
eraticn to be held October 9 in the
Bethesda Elementary School.
1T is not fair to builders to ask
them to postpone their building
plans for very long after the wal
ends" the report points out, "but II
Is equally unfair to the residential
people to ask them to relax their
vigilance regarding zoning changes
pending the completion of the
master plan"
DANAucu lHtO 1HTce faTtS.
The suggestion is made that the
county commissioners, acting as g
district council, grant a moratorium
on zoning petitions pending the
adoption OF a master plan in cases
where there is expressed public op-
position to the petition, except cases
Of emergency.
Divided into three parts, the re-
port covers master plan of future
land use of the county, revision of
zoning ordinances and enabling
legislation for community parks.
Under the second heading the
committee suggests subdividing the
present residential A zone into Al,
Az and AS zones, with different
minimum lot requirement areas for
each such subdivision. This sugges-
ton could apply only to areas where
no subdivision plot has been record
ed, the report points out, but it's
ultimate purpose is to influence the
distributions throughout the county
OF a proper balance between low.
medium and high priced residential
homes, and to prevent, as much as
possible, the improper encroachment
OF one type on the other.
Wants Zoning Enforcement.
The report asks that teeth be put
into the enforcement of the zoning
ordinances and that responsibility
for such enforcement be centered.
The third topic deals with the de-
sire OF various groups in the county
to proceed promptly with the de-
velopment of park area districts.
Even If park area district fits into
the master plan development of the
county, it has been found that some
times the finances of the county do
not permit prompt development of
the park area.
In such instances, and where the
people of the area are desirous of
doing so, the report proposes they
should be allowed to form their own
special taxing district to build and
maintain their park area out of their
own funds. Special legislation is
necessary for this purpose, an out
line Of which is attached to the re-
port.
In closing, Mr.. Baker says:
"The report has been discussed in
detail with certain of the staff of the
Park and Planning Commission and
other county officials. While no off,
cial statements have been made or
issued by such people, the commit
teabelieves they are sympathetic to-
ward most of the suggestions"
