lntegrated Health
Program Urged on
Parenthood Group

The need for integrating health
programs within the community
and between communities was en-
phasized yesterday by DR.. Dean A.
Clark, senior surgeon of the United
States Public Health Service and
now with the Medical Commission
OF the American Red Cross, who ad-
dressed the annual meeting of the
Planned Parenthood Association at
the YWCA, Seventh and K streets
NV.
There never has been a period
when there was so much community
interest in health as there is now"
DR.. Clark said. More and more
people are recognizing the fact
that health services are too COM

pick for any individual or group
that they must be brought together
into a general health program for
the entire community.
Into such pattern the Planned
Parenthood Association naturally
fits"
DR.. Clark praised the associa-
ton for its high quality of service
through operations of its clinics.
Service is given to ALL" he said.
Rich or poor, people pay according
to their means, but all of them get
the same high type of service"
DR.. Agnes McNutt, medical di-
rector of the Planned Parenthood
clinic, reported $50 new patients
during the past year and 1869 re-
visits by former patients. She ex-
planned that new clinical func-
ton, that of dealing with cases of
temporary infertility, recently had
been added to the services already
otfered-premarital counseling, mar
riage counSeling and child spacing.
The opening of new fund-raiS-
ing drive, headed by Mrs. Margaret
Mcdowell, chairman, and Mrs.
George McGhee, vice chairman,
was announced by Mrs. John B.
Martin, jr., president of the asso-
citation, who was in charge of the
meeting.

Col. Lee Defends Policy
On Chevy Chase Village

Answering an attack by A. w. De-

Montgomery County legislative dele
CATION to support an act Incorporate
ing Chevy Chase Village, 1t. Col.
E. Brooke Lee, county Democratic
leader, last night said the delegation
had followed policy adopted by the
County Democratic Congress.
Mr.. Defenderfer, who is circulating
a petition requesting the county
delegation to reconsider its action,
also charged that Col. Lee refused
to attend a hearing in Annapolis
which his group arranged with the
delegation.
Pointing out that additional divi-
sion of governmental responsibilities
in the county proportionately re.
duces the responsibilities and abili-
ties of government in the remainder
OF the county, Col. Lee said that it
has been "the established policy"
since 1922 not to establish additional
incorporated towns or special tax
districts.
Referring to Mr.. Defenderfer's
petition, Col. Lee said the General
Assembly has adjourned and a new
delegation will be elected before an
other regular session. It would be
impossible at this time for the dele
cation to reconsider its action, he
said,

dria Girl Scouts has been selected by
the Civitan Club, which has made
a down payment on the property

funds to complete purchase Of the

ed areas and farmland suitable for
cultivation or conversion into play
fields. Cedar Rim flows through the
property. A farmhouse on the prop
erty will be used during the coming
summer as headquarters. When the
camp is built, the house is expected
to become living quarters for a care
taker.
Planned to be self-sustaining
upon its completion, the camp will
be operated according to the prin-
ciples set down by the National Girl
Scout organization. Girl Scouts of
all ages will make use of the facili-
ties for short periods during the
summer. paying their own expenses,
or by means of scholarships which
civic groups and individuals are ex-
pected to make available.
Under tentative plans, the camp
eventually will accommodate 100
girl and Is counselors. A profess
sional director and staff will super
wise the program.
During the coming year, before the
construction of the camp is started.
troops of older girls will work at
clearing the land and growing
produce.

Mass Meeting
BacksProposa|
For Tax Boost
15-Cent Increase
For Arlington
Is Advocated

A 15-cent increase in the county
tax levy to provide essential cap
ttal Improvement" not included in
the proposed county budget was
approved last night at mass meet
ing of more than 400 Arlington
County residents. ...
Representatives of the Board of
Trade and the Chamber Of Com
merce both presented the meeting
with resolutions from those organi-
cations favoring the increase.
Thomas w. Phillips, chairman Of
the chambers Committee on Legis-
alton and Taxation, told the meet
ing he felt the welfare of the COM
munity would be adversely affected
If repairs and replacement of side
walks, cutters and storm sewers were
abandoned for an extended period.
Provides Bare Essentials.
The action followed a statement
by County Board Chairman F. Free
land Chew that the $3,771 $40 budget
proposed by County Manager Frank
c. Hanrahan provides only the bare
essentials OF county service"
Speaking in support Of the pro-
posed increase were H. e. Riley,
delegate from the Cherrydale Citi-
zens Association, speaking as an in
dividual, Charles Stoneburner, John
Humphries, and Charles Planck.
Principal opposition to the step
came from William G. Watt, presi-
dent of the Arlington Civic Fedora
tion. He said his organization Is
against any increase unless some
systematic procedure is followed on
salaries. He also pointed out there
is no assurance that the proposed
increase would be spent for capital
improvements.
Suggests Incorporation.
Charles A. Toone, president of the
Cherrydale Cement Block Co., said
he doesn't believe an increased tax
levy is necessary. Incorporation of
the county into a city of the first
class, he said, would bring q flood"
Of income.
Deadline for the adoption of the
tentative budget, following anyi
changes, is midnight April 80.
