Women Police To
"Man'' Crossings
Wins Approval

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation Monday night agreed
with the County Safety Board that
the extent which special services
are performed by the police depart
ment is Shocking. These SER
vices include guarding of school and
church crossings, weddings, fune-
rails and private parties.
Stephen James, chairman of the
safety board, who also is a dele
gate to the federation, said he
thought special women police should
be employed for some of the spec
ial services.
The federation also urged APP
pointment of a director of public
safety with police experience.
These recommendations follow
those of a Montgomery County
Safety Board report released in
March after three months Of study
of the one man patrol system by
subcommittee. Continuation of
the daytime one-man scout car
patrol system in the Bethesda-Sil-
yer Spring area, now on "a six
months trial basis, was recon-
mended by the association.
Use of the one-man cars in the
upcounty area should be "discre-
tionary" for the present, the fed
Grafton believes, but eventually
should become permanent after
certain administrative reorganiza-
ton.
Expansion of the one-man patrol
in the suburban areas to include
the p. m. to midnight shift, pos
sibly by October 1, was recon-
mended.

Council Advised Against
Silver Spring Hospital
Facilities Committee
Suggests A Suburban
Medical Center

The hospital facilities adj
visory Committee, headed by
DR.. Mark V. Ziegler of the
United States Public, Health
Service, presented a prelimin-
airy report to the County
Council on Tuesday. At the
same meeting, the Silver
Spring Hospital Association
presented a petition of more
than $500 signatures, includ-
ing 62 doctors, asking for
150-bed hospital in that sec
ton.
The advisory committee, appoint
ed year ago by the council to
study the general situation, sug-
gested that 150-bed medical cent
or be built on East-W Highway,
east of Rock Creek, and that the
Suburban Hospital in Bethesda,
be consolidated with the new hos
pital. 1t was suggested at the
meeting that Suburban might be-
come contagious-diseases hospi-
tai. The cost of the proposed cent
er was estimated at $1,80O,000.
DR.. Ziegler's group also urged
appointment of county board Of
medical care to coordinate medical
facilities and services in the coun-
ty, with a competent director of
medical care assigned to it by the
Health Department.
The advisory committee opposed
a Silver Spring Hospital, saying
it would further deplete the in
sufficient patient load at Subur-
ban Hospital which is being ope-
rated below capacity. The commit
tee will present a final report next
month.
The Silver Spring Hospital
group, led by Ralph D., Boyd, form
er President of the Allied Civic
Group, contended that the 27-acre
site on Forest Glen Road, near
Georgia Avenue, in Silver Spring
is nearer the center of population
1t said the growing population de-
mands a larger hospital and that
81 doctors who now take their
patients to Washington have de-
clared they will take patients there
if it is built.
Two doctors said that location
of a hospital in the area is need
ed to provide emergency treatment.
The Silver Spring association
asked a million-dollar bond issue
to be amortized at approximately
$4,000 annually by liquor board
receipts.
