Silver Spring Hospital
Head Hits Timing Of
Medical Center Plan

The president of the Silver
Spring Hospital Association today
described as most unfortunate
the timing" of a proposal for a
medical center to serve Silver
Spring, Rockville and Bethesda
Chevy Chase.
The proposal was advanced by
Randolph Bishop, a member of
the Board of Trustees of Suburban
Hospital, Bethesda, at the groups
meeting last Friday.
Although the board took no &C
ton, President Francis w. Hill, jr..
suggested a committee be ap-
pointed to discuss the possibility
of a merger of the two associa-
tionS.
Recalls Merger Talks.
The Silver Spring Association
is now conducting drive to OBJ
tain public support of it's proposal
for a 81 million bond issue for a
hospital in that area.
Association President Ralph D.
Boyd, in discussing Suburban Hos
pitfalls recommendation, said:
1T is hard to conceive that it's
statement was entirely coinciden-
tai. An inference may be drawn
from it that it was intended to
hamper our drive"
Pointing out that representa-
tives of the two associations had
discussed merger about 18
months ago, but with no results,
Mr.. Boyd said:
"It seems most unfortunate that
Suburban Hospital should start
it's activity for a medical center
after so long a lapse of time with
no action. and particularly, at
this time"
To Continue Drive.
While he said he saw no OBJ
lection to resuming the discus
sions, Mr.. Boyd emphasized that
ANY discussion that does not re-
fer to specific site that is avail
able, and that can be acquired,
has no significance.
In the meantime. he said, his
group would continue it's efforts
in behalf of a Silver Spring hos
pital, to be built on a 27-acre
site at Forest Glen road and Sligo
Greek parkway.

The wife of an Upper Marlboro
tenant farmer was fined $25 in
Prince Georges County Circuit
Court yesterday for threatening to
shoot new owners of her farm
with shotgun.
Judge Charles c. Marbury i'm
posed the fine on Mrs. Rose Curtin.
A Circuit Court jury earlier had
found Mrs. Curtin guilty of a
simple assault charge for threat
ening Mr.. and Mrs. James K. Boy
land, buyers of the farm on Grain
highway. near Upper Marlboro,
who have yet to live there.
Mrs. Curtin's husband, John
Curtin. 47. was cleared by the jury
on a similar charge. He had been
accused by the Boylands - both
employees of the Library of Con-
gress-of threatening them with a
tobacco knife when they went to
their property last September IT.
For Mr.. and Mrs. Boyland, it
was just another step in their at
tempt to take over a 135-acre to-
bacco farm, two miles north of
the Prince Georges County seat.
The Boylands contend they've
never been able to occupy it be-
cause the Curtins. who were ten
ants on the place. wouldn't let
them.
Mr.. Boyland, editor of the Lii
brary's Cumulative Catalog. said
he and his wife were unfamiliar
with Maryland law and were told
they could occupy the property 80
days after purchasing it. The man
who sold the house to them, Mr..
Boyland said, was Phil Curtin. an
uncle of the defendants.
Mr.. Boyland said they were told
that special laws covering tenant
farms require six months notice.
He said he was told he can't get
the Curtins off the property until
the end of this wear.
