stolen from a locker.
Swami returned to the school
the same night, but the where

mystery until his body was found

reservation.

Maryland Doctors Hit
SociaIized Medicine
And Anti-vivisection
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

BRADDOCK HEIGHTS, Md,
Sept. 29.-Maryland doctors have
been urged to organize in opposi-
tion to socialized medicine and
anti-vivisection movements.
The nearly 500 doctors attend
ing the opening session of the
Maryland medical and chirurgical
faculty's semi-annual meeting
yesterday were told by speakers to
get out and play politics.
DR.. H. Boyd Wylie, dean of the
University of Maryland Medical
School, warned the physicians
that they must act to stop the
plans of the anti-Vivisectionists..
He called for defeat of a Balti-
more city charter amendment, to

Without impounded dogs, DR..
Wiley said, the medical profess
sion's ability to pursue scientific
research and to teach and train
the general practitioner would be
"deteriorated."
DR.. Amos r. Moontz, assistant
professor of surgery at Johns
Hopkins Medical School, asked
doctors to help halt the trend
toward socialized medicine.
Federal aid to medical schools
by itself is not socialism" he said,
"but Federal aid to medical
schools, plus IVA, plus social Sc
curity, plus the Brannan plan,
plus national compulsory health
insurance. plus redistribution of
the wealth schemes practically
would make us a purely socialistic
state"

Get ; Meals Daily, but
No More Food Parcels

Prisoners in the Montgomery
County Jail atop the Rockville
Courthouse have gone on q three

two. and they will no longer be
permitted to receive food parcels
from outside.
The new system was put in ef-
feet yesterday by County Manager
Irving G.. McNayr on the recon-
of Andrew C. Warming,
who will take over command Of
the Jail October Is.
Mr.. Warming, a veteran Of 20
years. service with the Federal

that the clothing of all
prisoners be disinfected
and that they be given "distinc-
tive" uniforms.
Under the old Jail routine, pris-
oners were fed at 6 am. and 4
pm. They now get lunch at II
a m. and the daily menus have
been overhauled to include more
variety, according to Ben H. Hall,
personnel assistant to Mr.. McNayr.
Despite the additional meal,
food costs will remain at about
60 cents a day, which was the
previous figure, Mr.. Hall said. He
added that the county also will
save money by buying canned
goods through the State Bureau
of Prison Industries.
The rule banning food pack
ages was adopted as a safety

pointed out an attempted jail
break was thwarted last fall when
Jailer Joseph e. Moxley found
hacksaw blades in an empty milk
carton brought to a prisoner.
New type window easements and
bars also have been installed to
prevent a recurrence of the two
jail breaks which occurred during
the last IL months. And arrange
ments are being made to improve

School Building Bonds
For Arlington Backed
By Citizen Committee

The Arlington Citizens Com
mittee for School Improvement
last night Endorsed a proposed
$7.450 900 school construction
bond issue and urged all county
residents to sign petitions for a
referendum on the proposal.
It was the first action on the
proposed bond issue by the citi-
zens' group. which spearheaded
support for the county's latest
bond issue. The County School
Board has requested the new
bonds and is circulating the ref
erendum petitions.
Meeting In the Washington-Lee
High School Auditorium, the citi-
zens' group heard Arlington school
needs outlined by c. Glen Hass.
the county's new assistant super
intendent in charge of instruc-
ton.
Mr.. Hass listed six other
fundamentals" which he said
education should cover in addi-
ton to the traditional three RS.
They are: preservation and ex-
tension of democracy: develop
ment of world understanding,
physical welfare, emotional sta
bility, economic competence. and
attitudes and beliefs.
Necessary to achieve these aims
he said are sufficient classroom
space so pupils can receive some
individual attention from teach
ers; sufficient gymnasium. shower
and dressing room facilities for a
physical education program; ex-
panded shop and vocational ia
cilities, and adequate multi
purpose rooms, cafeterias and
other facilities that encourage
wholesome social development.

Summer restrictions on the use
of water by customers of the

Commission will be lifted Monday.
The commission expressed ap-
probation to consumers for their
cooperation in conserving water.
The restrictions, which prohibited
car washing and watering of
lawns, went into effect July /.
The commission said expansion
of facilities was expected to make
it unnecessary to impose restric-
tions next summer. The commits
sion explained that insufficient

Small Clique Trying
To Run Fairfax With
New Rule, Clark Says

Douglas Clark, a member of the
former Fairfax County Govern.
ment Study Commission, has
charged small clique with at
tempting to get control of the
county by advocating the man
ager form of government.
Arthur Holmaas, president of
the Jefferson Village-City Park
Citizens Association, countered
with a claim that the county man
ager form of government is the
only type that will adequately
meet problems now facing the
county.
Both spoke in a debate last
night at the Greenway Downs Cit
izenS' Association at Oak Street
School. Falls Church.
Mr.. Clark said the campaign for
the manager form is the greatest
red herring he has ever seen
dragged over the county.
1T is an attempt by a small
clique to take over control of Fair
fax County," Mr.. Clark said.
He explained there are only two
main differences between the
manager and executive forms of
government. These differences
are in the method of electing
supervisors and in the designa-
ton of powers to the county ad-
ministrator.
Says Men Are Picked.
Under the manager form. Fair
fax County will have one-man
rule, he said. He said he did not
believe county citizens wished to
vote away their rights in the No
vernber z referendum.
He charged that those of the
small group sponsoring the man
ager already have picked the men
it will put into Office.
i do not mind telling how I
will vote on the issue, and I don't
mind running the risk of being
called an obstructionist," Mr..
Clark said.
Il will vote against any change
in government and for the county
executive plan," he said.
Inadequacy Charged.
He emphasized that voters may
answer the first question, do you
want a changer" in the negative
and still vote for one of the reform
government plans.
Mr.. Holmaas said the present
government form is inadequate to
meet the needs of a rapidly ex-
panding county.
He said the county manager
form provides the election of
at large.
Answering charges that the
urban areas do not pay their
share of taxes, Mr.. Holmaas said
that in the present budget of
over So million approximately SO
per cent comes from assessed
taxes in the suburban sections.
Association Withholds Vote.
He said tax assessments in the
urban area amount to about $500
per person as compared to about
$3.50 per person in the rural
area.
The association tabled a mo-
ton to vote on backing the
county manager plan. The asso-
citation held that such a vote
would be contrary to its constitu-
tion which states that the or
ganization shall be non-political.

School Bond Suit
In Fairfax May
Be Withdrawn
Appeal Is Pending
In Supreme Court
At Richmond
By jones Birchfield

A suit blocking sale of q sos
million Fairfax County school
bond issue may be withdrawn, 1t
was learned today.
Charles E. Gardner, who with
Paul E. Rhinehart, jr.. brought
the action to prevent the sale Of
the bond, indicated they would
withdraw the action.
Mr.. Gardner and Mr.. Rhinehart
brought suit to prevent the sale
Of bonds after the issue had car
ried by margin of more than
q to /. They held that, the ref
|erendum had been illegally called
and should not have been held in
the face Of pending annexation
proceedings by Falls Church and
Alexandria.
Appeal Taken.
The case was dismissed in the
County Circuit Court and the
plaintiffs filed an appeal to the
Virginia Supreme Court. The ap-
peal is now pending.
Mr.. Gardner said yesterday he
did not wish to become an OBJ
structionist nor did he wish to
retard the progress Of education
in Fairfax County.
He said he has one son and
seven grandchildren in the county
schools and would like to do moth.
ing that would prevent progressive
education.
I'VE felt" Mr.. Gardner said,
shat the sos million bond issue
was too much. We hope that by
preventing the sale of the bonds
that another way could be found
to improve schools at less cost.
Estimates Called Excessive.
"I would have voted for a S.
million or even a 81 million issue.
I felt, however, that the school
board had made excessive esti-
mates for its construction pro-
gram"
Mr.. Gardner said about 5000 900
in State funds for school con-
struction has been held up because
tof annexation proceedings. He
said residents in annexed areas
who voted for the issue would not
be responsible for the burden Of
repayment.
Mr.. Gardner. a painter by
trade, is a native of England. He
came to this country in 1905 and
settled in Fairfax County in 1912.
Mr.. Rhinehart, a contractor,
has no children in the county
schools.
