Eberts Loses Fight
With Country Club
To Appeal Suspension

Bernard L, Eberts, Washington
attorney. has lost-at least tenn
porarily-his fight to be reinstated
as a member of@the Congressional
Country Club.
Mr.. Eberts was suspended last
May from the club near Bethesda.
He filed a suit in Montgomery
County Circuit Court against the
club, also naming as defendants
Wash B. Williams, club president:
j. Mark Price, secretary, and
members of t1ne Board Of
Governors.
Will Appeal Dismissal.
Mr.. Eberts, who lives at 4619
Moran drive, Chevy Chase Gar
dens. is represented by Attorney
James H. Pugh, who said he will
appeal the Circuit Courts dis
missal of the suit to the Maryland
Court of Appeals. He added the
action is the first of it's kind to
be taken in the State.
In the suit, Mr.. Eberts claimed
his suspension by the Board of
Governors was arbitrary and
lacked the essential requirements
of natural justice" since no pro-
vision is made in the clubs con-
stitution for an appeal.
Judge Stedman Prescott in re-
jecting the suit, quoted previous
decisions in similar cases in Mary
land to support his stand.
Judge Quotes Decision.
One of the decisions, accord
ing to Judge Prescott. states that
I'm the matter of the discipline
and internal policy of such an
organization, the rules by which
members have agreed to be gov
erned constitute charter of thei1
rights and courts will decline tc
take cognizance of any matter
arising under these rules"
Another ruling quoted by Judge
Prescott declares "It would very
much impair the usefulness OF
these institutions if they are to
be harrassed by petty suits OF
| this kind"

Vernon Heights
Raising Funds
For Sanitation
Overlooking Septic
Tanks Precipitote
Crisis in Area
By james BirchfieId

Residents of the Mount Vernon
section of Fairfax County are
taking steps to cooperate with
the Board of Supervisors to cor
rect conditions caused by over
flowing septic tanks in the area.
Under the leadership of the
Vernon Heights Civic Associa-
tion, a $2,500 fund is being raised
to pay for a sanitary survey IN
the area along Highway No. 1
from the open air theater to Fort
Belvoir.
The survey will determine the
cost of a sewer system for hous-
ing developments in the area.
The septic tank trouble has
been increasing with the develop
ment of housing projects in the
area. The area is poorly drained.
and consists of a ater-tight clay
soil which makes the operation Of
septic tanks impractical.
The County Health Department
has ruled that no more permits
for the construction of septic
tanks will be issued where the
soil is unsuitable. One sanitary
engineer said it now is question
Of whether residents of the area
will go to the open privy or con-
struct sewer lines. He said the
overfowing tanks constitute a
health menace in the area.
No County Survey Money.
At meeting of the civic associ-
alton last night, President Robert
c. Taylor explained that the
$4,000 fund is a means of expedit-
ing a sanitary survey.
He said the county at present
has no money for a survey and
that any raised by the civic group
will be turned over to the board.
If petition for a survey were
handed the board, Mr.. Faylor said,
it could not be acted on until next
year. By providing funds for the
survey, he added, the job may be
completed in so days.
After a survey, which also would
determine if sanitary district or
an authority will be the most eco
nomical method of handling the
sewage problems. the Circuit Court
will be petitioned to authorize the
project.
Reports last night revealed that
more than 5000 already has been
raised by members of the civic
group after only two days of can
vassing for funds.
Lots Are Good Sized.
According to Health Department
officials most Of the houses in the
area are constructed on half-acre
lots, which under ordinary soil
conditions would be sufficiently
large for both we'll and septic
tank.
The soil in this area, however.
will not absorb water, fact which
causes the aff1uent from the septic
tanks to rise to the surface.
Sergt. v. r. Lawrence, who lives
in the Mary Lea Park division,
between Engleside and Mount Ver-
non, said he had been forced to
dig out the drain field of his tank.
thus letting the sewage run out
over the ground.
Next door, he said, large pool
Of drainage water stands con-
stantly above the septic tank.

this EVENING AT
VIKING DING I'M

Eleanor and Royal OReilly scare
ely had a breather since running
Taku Lodge for the summer, before
beginning an engagement in the
role of entertainers.
These fine musicians, perennial
favorites around Gastineau Chan
mel will start playing, and Royal
singing, tonight at the Wiling Ding
Inn.
That gives Wilbur Irving a new
title, for the proprietor of the new
Douglas Island night club believes
that presenting musicians of such
high standing admits him to the
rank of impresario.
AS always, it will be Ellie's piano
rhythms and Royals double bass,
the Mr.. of the husband-wife team
taking an occasional vocal.
Nor will the famed entertainers
be the least out of practice, for,
as everyone in thes parts knows,
Eleanor and Royal have been pro-
viding frequent entertainment for
guests at the picturesque Taku VAL
ley resort.
Irving hopes that other arrange
ments will be completed in time to
start serving dinners by Thursday.

coed for $40 monthly bonus.
Howver. even this has been taken
away from them in Korea, despite
the fact that combat airmen and
submarine men still draw $40 to
S75 Ter month extra for hazardous
duty"
Meanwhile, it's the infantrymen
who feel the bite of enemy bullets
who slog through mud, sleep in
foxholes and live on cold K rations
who have little chance to take a
bath, see a movie, attend church
write letters, or sleep with then
shoes eff.
Nevertheless, in Korea, the av-
erage monthly pay of man in an
infantry rifle company is Sl35,
comps red with 1926 for an air force
combat crew man and $72 for a
submarine crew.
Higl.est-paid troops in the army
are OF jnance men, followed by sig
nal corps, armored force, quarter
master, antiaircraft, field artillery
engineers, medical and, last on the
list, the infantry.
It's the same story with other
awards. During World War II, in
fantrymen suffered 10 percent OF
the casualties but got only lie
percent of the medals. The air force
was decorted with 1852 percent OF
the medals, while other branches
got the remaining 1872 percent.
Now that the Korean war l:
nearly won, the army should give
fair pay and recognition to ths
foot soldiers who did the smuggling
and slogging.

resold the farms. However, it was
usually written into the small print
that the government retained so
percent of the mineral rights.
Later, when traces of oil were
discovered near these farms, the
government began selling the min
eral rights behind the farmers
backs.
For example, Elmer P. johnson
bought a 160-acre depression farm
from the government in Oceana
County, Michigan, in 1888. The
government reserved half the min
eral rights, then sold half of its
rights 10 years later to Augie Busk
of Grand Rapids, Mich, for $500.
Exactly seven days after the sale,
the Roosevelt Oil Company struck
oil on Johnson'S farm. Over night
the value of Busk's new mineral
rights shot up from $500 to SS,000
Another Oceana County farmer,
Paul Weiner, reported his trouble
over mineral rights to Senator
Williams.
Il was not notified of the lease
nor of the sale of these mineral
rights, no did 1 even know that the
government insiders formed an in

airy "a, 1919, when someone tried

Farm,r.' Loss Of Mineral Rights


Many farmers still don't know
it, but the government has sold the
mineral rights cut from under some
CT their farmlands without SO much
as notifying the owners. The federal
Farm Mortgage Corporation has
given outside. spectators the right
to drill for oil or dig for uranium
on hundreds of farms.
This has already started a one
man investigation by Delaware'S
COP Senator John Williams, caus-
ing the government to reverse its
policy and now give the farmer
first crack at mineral rights on his
own property.
However, many farmers, whose
rights have already been sold, do
not realize that they have only SO
percent claim to the oil and uran-
iuln that may be lying under their
fie,is. What's more, they probably
wont lind gut until the Spectators
