By Casper Names
Stor Stoff CORRESPONDENT

CARLISLE BARRACKS, Pa.
Mar. 9.-Changing civilian clergy
men into military chaplains is the
job of the United States Army
Chaplain School.
Ministers, priests and rabbis
need new instructions in the
Army and Air Force chap
laincy. They require a different
approach to bring into proper mil
itary focus the civilian training
already acquired.
1--WE take it for granted that
new chaplains know their theol-
ogy," 1t. Col. James F. Patterson
says. Col. Patterson is assistant
commandant at the school.
Our purpose is to teach chap
lains how to perform their re-
ligious functions under the condi-
tions of military life" Col. Pat
terson explains.
That is the job of the Chap
lain School, probably the only
institution of its kind in exist
ence. 1t is a difficult and
complicated task. involving an in
tensive- course of training at the
school, now at this 175-year-old
military post.
4-Week Training Period.
New chaplains - there is a
sprinkling of former chaplains re-
entering the service in each in
coming class-face a busy four
week training period.
Glasses start at 800 am. each
day and continue, with a lunch
hour break at noon, until 4 pm.
Drill or athletics are from to
pm. The evenings are usually
devoted by the chaplains to study.
They are free from Saturday noon
until Monday morning.
Army and Air Force chaplains
take essentially the same courses
at the school, which is run under
the joint supervision of two chiefs
of chaplains, Roy H. Parker for
the Army and C. I. Carpenter of
the Air Force.
Training is centered around a
seven-point program of worship,

Patterson said.
Recordings and television are
being used to improve the public
speaking abilities of chaplains.
Their speeches in class are re-
corded, and then played back.
Each chaplain joins the class in
criticizing his work, with the in
structor acting as a moderator
rather than teacher.

ANNAPOLIS. Mar. ga bill
providing for non-partisan elec-
ton of Montgomery County coun-
cilmen is in the House of Dele
gates today.
The Senate. by a 15-to-14 vote,
yesterday passed the measure,
sponsored by Montgomery Sen
ator Dewitt S. Hyde, Republican.
after tacking on an amend
ment requiring that such cleo
tions be held on other than reg
ular polling dates.
Before the amendment could
become effective, it would have to
be approved by voters of the
State under a proposed constitu-
tional amendment offered by Sem
ator Louis L. Goldstein, Demo-
crat, of Calvert County.
Pending result of that vote,
candidates Tor the council could
campaign on non-partisan basis
on regular election dates, if the
county voters approved the plan.
Yesterdays tally was the ser
ond major victory in as many
days for Montgomery's all-Repub-
lican delegation. A bill calling
for non-partiSan election of
school board members received
preliminary approval in the House
Wednesday by an 81-to-36 vote.
Senator c. Ferdinand Sybert,
Democrat, Howard County, op-
posed the election bill on the
ground that it may be the first
in a series of moves to have can
didates selected by party leaders. y
Pointing out that his measure
would require an amendment to
the county charter and a refer
endum, Senator Hyde replied that
"the real issue is whether we are
willing to let the people decide
the question.

Sanitary Commission Nonpartisan Election
Changes Protested 10 For Council Approved
County Delegations By Senate, IS 10 IA
BY a stoff Correspondent OF The star

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 9.-Protests
against legislation proposing
major changes in the makeup ana
administration of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
are being studied today by the
Prince Georges and Montgomery
County delegations.
The objections were voiced yes
terday before legislators from the
two counties at a two-hour meet
ing in the House chamber.
Spokesman for the more than
so persons attending the joint
delegation meeting represented
departments of the State govern
ment, home builders groups, pub
lie utilities, civic organizations and
master plumbers.
T. Howard Duckett. general
counsel for the commission, re-
piled to the protests, which CEN
tered around the perennial dis
pute as to whether master plumb
ers or the commission shall
make house water and sewer con-
nections.
IA Bills Discussed.
A total of IA bills urged by the
commission came in for discussion.
The measures would:
l. Increase the commission s
membership from three to five,
with the Prince Georges and
Montgomery County governments
naming two each. The chairman
would be appointed by the Gov
ernor, who now selects all three
members.
2. Extend the boundaries of the
Washington Suburban Sanitary
District to include all land lying
within the two counties.
3. Require the State Roads
Commission to bear the cost of
changes in water and sewer lines
made necessary by building or
repair of State highways.
4. Give the commission the
right to condemn land and take
possession without waiting for a
court determination of it's value.
The other bills would authorize
the commission to remodel its
office building, establish a merit
system for employees and sell bonds
to finance its operations.
Adrian Fisher, attorney to the
Prince Georges commissioners
said his board, in special session
yesterday, voted to oppose inclu-
sion of unincorporated areas until
public hearings have been held.
Joseph D. Buscher, representine
the State Roads Commission
voiced the objection of his de-
partment to footing bills for relo-
cations of water and sewer lines
under State highways. He saic
the Roads Commission is "afraic
the idea would spread and woulc
eventually require so much money
that construction funds would be
seriously depleted"
Joseph Dyer of the Chesapeake
d Potomac Telephone Co., ano
Ray Dunn Of the Potomac Electric
Power Co., protested against the
proposal, which would give the
Sanitary Commission power to
order their wires placed under
ground.
Bond Issues Questioned.
Montgomery County Manager
Irving G. McNayr questioned the
"desirability" of bond issues above
the IA per cent limitation. He
suggested they be revenue instead
of tax bonds.
The bill to give the sanitary
commission authority to make
House connections was introduced
to replace an identical measure
enacted last year and voided by
the courts because it was held
that the measure was outside the
scope of legislation permitted at
short sessions.
