two vantage points in town from
which all the shooting may be
seen in comfortable ease-The
Starlight Roof of the Roger
Smith Hotel and the Washington
Roof. Both are cool and pleasant
spots and in neither are you likely
to be trampled under foot by ex-
citable children seeking a better
view, which could happen to you
on the Monument slope.
The difficulty is that you will

either of these vantage points.
Washingtonians long have been
aware of these special July 4
attractions at the Starlight Roof

may find yourself standing in line
at the door. It's well worth
a try, though, at either place.
Any fireworks you see set of

not necessarily be in honor of
the day. Hotel 2400 might very

Mr.. Simpsons place at the
Sazerac Room is being taken by

District Court Begins
Summer Schedule
With Big Backlog

District Court is beginning its
reduced summer schedule with
more cases awaiting trial than IL
had year ago.
The backlog has developed even
though the court, with its three
new judges. disposed of 1909 more
cases during the fiscal year ended
last Friday than 1t did during the
previous year.
The court now has 4.219 civil
cases and SO criminal cases ready
for trial. A year ago. the court
had STOP civil cases and 67 Grim
inal cases ready for trial.
Few Judges on Duty.
During the rest of the summer
only a few of the courts Is Judges
will be on duty at any one time.
OF the three judges on duty
now, two will hear civil case mo-
tions and one will try criminal
cases involving defendants who
are locked UP, because they are
unable to make bond.
Civil cases will not be tried until
October, with a few possible ex-
ceptions.

A year ago. it was estimated q

Among Lf1e moments u 1uell-
ity that fall upon a man, you
can list the moment when he sits
down to write a column about the
towns night life for publication
on July 4. Who, he asks himself,
is going to read the blasted thing?
Some holidays are different. On
Christmas, say, a man might read
something like this because the
rigors of the day have made him
too weak to refuse to read it. On
Thanksgiving Day he might read
it because he is too stuffed with
turkey to do anything but read.
On New Years Day he might read
it for possible clews throwing light
on where he was last night. But
not on the 4th of July.
The city's streets have deserted
air. The mobile populace has taken
to the woods, the parks, the
beaches and the far countryside.
1t will return this evening tired,
child-weary, traffic-edgy, gnawed
by insects and suffering from
powder burns and slight indiges-
ton. The week end has been long
and the populace will be sated
with relaxing and soured with the
thought that it has to get up and
60 to work tomorrow.
The number of people likely to
seek edification here this after
noon and evening under the cir
cumstances, is so small as to be
almost frightening.

For those few, however, there
are some words of advice fitting
to the day, which might as well
be passed along. First, for those
this catches in time, is a note on
picnicking. Those who are not
already off feeding the ants of
their food and the chiggers of
themselves will do well to bear in
mind that the best picnic ground
in town is located on the rim of
Rock Creek Park just south of
Calvert street.
It also is just south of the
Shoreham Hotel and it is called
the Shoreham Terrace. Here there
is no choking with smoke while
trying to SINCE a hot dog over a
weary fire, no sitting down on the
only thriving ant hill in three
miles, no discovery that the salt
for the hard-boiled eggs is back
home on the kitchen table, no
knocking over the thermos bottle

are about to perish from thirst.

picnicking is done the way it

BUDGET OF 9-MILLION PROPOSED:
CALLS FOR Sc BOOST In TAX RATE
Library Bill
Hearing Ends
In DiSSenSion

A bill proposing the establish
ment of a Department of Public
Libraries for Montgomery County
is loosely drawn" and should be
amended in several particulars,
the County Council was told on
Monday night, by representatives
of three groups. Three other
groups Endorsed the measure at a
hearing in the Rockville Court
house.
Introduced by Mrs. Ralph E.
Himstead, the bill would set up a
department under direction of a
county librarian responsible to the
county manager. This department
would administer a county public
library system with a bookmobile
service for rural areas. The bill
follows in general the recommen-
dations of the Library Advisory
Committee released on April %,
Mrs. Himstead said.
Authorizing the county depart
ment to take over the two existing
public library systems in Bethesda
and Silver Spring, the bill would
eliminate their special tax of 6
and cents respectively, as of
July. l, 1851. Arthur Hilland,
counsel for the Board of Trustees
of the Bethesda Public Library,
said he did not oppose the estab-
lishment of a county library sys-
tenn, but opposed this particular
bill on the ground that it threat
ened the life of the Bethesda Lii
brary. He thought the section
abolishing the special tax should
be deleted.
% Roy G. jacobson, representing
the Silver Spring Library Board
said his board approved the bill
with some minor amendments, the
chief of which would make county
library membership nine instead
of seven.
The bill had the support of the
County League of Women Voters,
the Library Committee of the
County Council of Parent-Teacher
Associations and the County Farm
Bureau.

Numerous Changes Reported At
Montgomery County Hospital
Superintendent Resigns = Maternity
Wing Added = Hospital Made Official
Blood Donor Center, Other Changes

Despite the fact that the past
year was probably the most hectic
one in the history of Montgomery
County General Hospital, an en-
couraging report was made at the
annual meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of that hospital early this
month. Many changes have taken
place at the hospital during the
period May l, 1949 to April 30,
1850, not only in the physical as
pect, but in every phase of the in
stitution.
In June of 1919, according to the
report, just after partitions in ten
Of the existing rooms had been torn
out, by way of remodeling the hos
pital, all building came to stand
still because Of a carpenters strike.
The strike lasted until August and
loss of income resulting from the
rooms and operating room, caused
deficit which still exists, the re-
port continued. Added to this was
the loss in good patient care caused
by the confusion and overload on
the entire staff.
However, on November Is. 1949,
the new and remodeled hospital
was in use, although it was not
officially opened until the first Sat

Highly praised in the report was
