Now It's the Fake
Doctor Racket
Profeefipe Sertiee

READERS HAVE REPORTED
being exposed this spring to the old
magazine point racket (Montana
Farmer-Stockman, June Is, page a
IN which a sweet young thing claims
she will get points toward a col
lege or nurses training scholarship"
with every subscription.
Now there is a new twist to the
racket that we should be on the alert
for. 1t is specially slanted for farm
ers. Knowing that many farm COM
munities lack a doctor, the solicitors
Claiming to be young doctors)
promise to set up in business in the
community if enough points can be
obtained through magazine sub
scriptions.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-07-01
Promise TO Set Up Office

Promise 10 Set UP Office
A midwestern farm paper reports
the racket started there with a So
licitor posing as a young doctor
promising to establish an office and
practice in the community if given
enough magazine subscriptions. The
salesman explains that he is just out
of medical college and does not have
enough money to set UP an office.
An organization about which he is
vague would outfit his office if he
could get enough points," which
are obtained with magazine sub
scription sales. Other phony medical
students claim they need points
to help finish school.
Investigations have shown that
none of the communities that con-
tributed to these subscription rack
eteers has secured a doctor as prom
ised. This case was reported in de-
tail in the Journal of the American
Medical association, March 5, 1949.
In an effort to obtain more informa-
ton on this new racket and head off
any possible attempt to start it up
In Montana, the Montana Farmer
Stockman's Protective service wrote
to Johns Hopkins University School
of Medicine, Baltimore, Maryland
(the school the racketeers claimed
to be attending). Alan M. Chesney,
M. D., Dean of Johns Hopkins Uni
versity, wrote the following answer:
just 4 Racket
"This will acknowledge your let
ter of April LIST. No person has been
authorized by this school to solicit
subscriptions in order that he may
finish his schooling here. / am sure
that this is just another instance of
the same old subscription racket"
The point racket is just one of the
high pressure tactics being used by
INSCRIPTIONS people to make sales.
Another scheme recently discovered
Involves pllOHy War veterans VINO
say they will get added benefits
from the veterans administration if
they get a certain number of points
from magazine sales" Another sales
crew working in the midwest used
ome who said they were night
nurses in a nearby veterans hos
pital and were selling the subscrip-
lions in the daytime to "help the
boys"
Remember that the legitimate
salesman will be glad to show his
credentials and will sell his prod
uct on its own merits. Anyone who
is visited by any such sales racket
GERS as mentioned in this story will
perform a public service if he will
advise local law enforcement Off

Survey of Woodmont I riunqIe
To Permit Development Urqed

The Bethesda Chamber of Com
merce has asked the Montgomery
County Council to make an en-
gineering survey of the so-called
Woodmont Triangle between Old
Georgetown road and Wisconsin
avenue, to permit development OF
the area.
In q letter to the council, the
chamber claimed the county is
losing thousands Of dollars in taxes
and Bethesda is losing prospective
businesses because Of the county's S
lack of foresight.
The trade body recalled that the
area was designated as commercial
nearly two years ago in a master
plan drawn by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission.
Since that time. the chamber
declared, dozens of prospective
purchasers have turned away
from Woodmont because it was not
possible for them to build there.
Others have purchased property
but have not been able to borrow
money for development because
of the lack OF engineering in
formation"

Prince William Votes
Against New Setup
Special Dispafeh TO The Star

MANASSAS. Va. Sept. 21.-
Prince William County voters
overwhelmingly defeated yesterday
q proposal to set UP an executive
form of government.
With only one small precinct
unreported. the vote was GOT
against and 1896 for the proposal.
The unreported precinct is Joplin,
where election officials said about
20 votes were cast.
Observers blamed the light vote
on confusion over the issues in
volved. The Board of Super
visors originally requested the
referendum July Z, but later asked
that it be called off. Circtit Court
Judge Paul Brown refused to
cancel the referendum, declaring
it had to go through as scheduled
by his original order.
Adoption of the executive form
of government would have stripped
many appointive powers from the
Circuit Court judge, and would
have eliminated several elective
Offices. The change would have
provided for appointment of an
executive head of the county, who
would have taken care Of many

Falls Church Drops
Annexation Suit After
Citing Technically

Falls Church yesterday with
drew its suit to annex II square
miles of Fairfax County territory.
Fairfax Circuit Court Judge
Paul Brown granted the city a
non-suit, which means that the
case is dropped from the docket.
LaRue Van Meter, Falls Church
city attorney. emphasized that
withdrawal of the suit at this time
did not mean the city was drop
ping plans to annex county ter
ritory:>
Mr.. Van Meter said the city
definitely would go through with
its plans to take in more terri
tory even though the area land to
be acquired may be altered.
Granted on Technicality.
The non-suit was granted on a
technicality. Mr.. Van Meter called
to the courts attention the fact
that Falls Church had not pub
lished adequate notice of the suit.
Mr.. Van Meter had sought a
delay in the suit, but Judge Brown
at that time said any postpone
ments or withdrawals would have
to be acted on by a three-judge
annexation court. The technicality
about publication of the suit
notice was not discussed in court
Monday.
Withdrawal Of the suit now
gives Falls Church the delay it
sought after passage of a sewer
improvement bond issue in sani-
tary district No. l of Fairfax
County. A large part of the ter
ritory Falls Church seeks to annex
is within the sanitary district.
Engineer Study Asked.
Passage of the bond issue en-
ables the county to buy the Fed
erally-owned Holmes Run sewer
which serves parts of the county
and city.
After the bond issue was ap-
proved, Falls Church asked its en-
gineers to study whether the city
should continue to use the sewer
or build its own, and to determine
what effect the bond issue might
have on annexation plans.
Evening star., 1949-09-21

According to the chamber
streets have not been laid out,
building lines have not been
fixed, curb elevations have not
been determined and the WASH
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission has no sewage and water
plats for the area.
Such data is readily available
in the District of Columbia, the
chamber said.
Tha Council also was asked to
incorporate in its engineering sur
vey proposed sites for public
parking lots.
When informed of the letter, A.
Morton Thomas, chief engineer
Of the planning commission, said
his agency had adopted a master
street plan for the Woodmont area
more than a year ago showing
proposed streets and building set
back lines.
Washington Suburban Sanitary
Commission officials. in COM
menting on the letter, said the
commission normally prepares
sewage and water plats when work
actually starts on proposed streets
and when q request is made for
sewage and water lines.

Nj. Rainier Delays
Wafer Pipe Ruling

The question of who owns the
pipe connecting homes with street
water mains in Mount Rainier re-
mained unsolved after City
Council meeting last night.
The council claims the WASH
ington Suburban Commission owns
the connecting "laterals" as the
result OF the purchase of the city's
water system in 1922. The Com
mission claims the pipe is owned
by owners of the homes to which
the pipe Is connected.
The dispute came up when the
commission started putting in new
water mains last spring.
Mayor Herbert Reichelt said
that fast action is necessary be-
cause several breaks in the later
ais have gone unattended for
want Of decision on the owner
ship OF the connecting pipes. An
opinion is awaited from the COM
missions counsel. T. Howard
Duckett.
In another action, the council
decided to appoint an auditing
committee to arrange the city
clerks records to conform to a
pew law passed by the Maryland
General Assembly requiring all
cities to keep a uniform book
keeping system.
A resolution also was passed
prohibiting parking at all times
on Shepherd street in front of the
Brentwood school and between
$3.50 am. and $3.50 pm. on Thirty
second street in front of Mount
Rainier Elementary school.
