actual appointment is to be made
by this Commission.
Both individually and on behalf
of the Commission l have made ev-
cry attempt to cooperate with the
Council to the fullest extent. This
was evidenced by my telephone call
to you on Friday, October 10, ad-
vising that we had received from
the various organizations to whom
requests were sent, list of names
these organizations were recon-
mending for appointment.

Commission that you appoint a
committee from the members of
the County Council or if you pre-
ferred that all the members meet
with the Montgomery County
members of this Commission for
the purpose of reviewing this list
Of names and selecting those to be
appointed. We feel that if this
was done the situation would not
be what you outlined in the third
paragraph of your letter of Octo-
Der 9th in which you state the
Council does not welcome the pros
pect of taking over the admins
tration and enforcement of the
Code with Board that the Coun-
Gil has had no voice in selecting
Respecting this Commissions
power to appoint the Board in
question. Under normal conditions,
it is the Commissions belief that
its power under the bi-county pub
lie general law creating the Com
mission and authorizing it to
promulgate building regulations
and administer the building code
carries with it by necessary impli-
cation the power to do whatever is
necessary to the proper establish
ment and administration of the
:. building regulations including the
appointment of the building in
spector and such other officers as
are necessary to the administra-
ton of the regulations.
"The Board of Standards and
Appeals seems to US to fall square
ly within this category and is
board composed of technical ex-
perts. 1t is provided in the code
mainly as a check or cushion on
acts of the building inspector
which might otherwise be regard
ed as arbitrary.

that an attempt will be made to re-

Last year, about 5000 persons in
the County took advantage Of the
free diabetes detection tests, DIR.
Gray said. He pointed out that a
number of people turned in speci,
mems last year who had known
cases of diabetes. This year, the
drive is expected to bring forth
more people who have not been
tested for the disease.
At this time, more than one mil
lion people in the United States
are known to have diabetes. The
American Diabetes Association,
however, wants to discover the I'M
known cases with the idea in mind
that knowledge of the disease adds
up to half the cure.

"On behalf of this Commission
1 again reaffirm our desire for the
cooperation and advice of the
County Council in the selection of
members of this Board of Stan
dards and Appeals and request
that such conference be arranged
between members of the Council
and members of this Commission
prior to Thursday, October 25th."
Council Rejects
On Tuesday, however, the Coun-
Gil rejected the Commissions pro-
posal that the two bodies meet and
participate in. the naming of the
Board.
Council President Monarch re-
affirmed the Councils position that
the board should not be appointed
pending a study of migrating
Commissions functions into the
structure of county government.
At this point, however, it APP
pears that the Commission will
adopt the new code on Thursday
(today) at Silver Spring and Mr..
Green said the board for both
Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties will be named at the same
time.
Nominees for the County Board
include William G. Allen, Bethes-
da; Branch Elan, Kensington;
Bernard F. Locraft, Chevy Chase;
James o. Shumaker, Chevy Chase;
Christian Wohgemuth, jr., Chevy

Dana B. Johannes and Frank G.
Beatty, both of Silver Spring;
Robert H. Best, Bethesda; Theo-
dore W. Norcross, Chevy Chase;
and Clifford A. Belts, Bethesda.
Specialists Required
Mr.. Green told the Sentinel to-
day that the proposed board is
composed of all technical people
who have been recommended to it
by the Institute of Architects
builders, engineers and others who
have been aware that the boards
work will require highly spccializ-
ed technical training. He said the
Code itself calls for the board
members to have at least ten years
of experience in their particular
fields and that it will be required
to make decisions on matters upon
which ordinary building inspectors
do not have technical and profess
sional training to pass.

1t would require also that only
passenger vehicles be allowed to
use the space and that no sale,

The lot would also have to be

more than five feet high wherever
the lot adjoins property zoned for
dwelling purposes. /
In addition there could be no ad-

Dairymen at the University OF
Illinois found in a 15-week test
that self-fed cows milked just as
heavily and production dropped of
no faster than cows fed by hand.
They believe that self-feeding,
then, is a lot more practical than
most farmers and scientists think.
Previously self-feeding was con-
sidered no good because some cows
ate too much grain. But in the
Illinois test, cows were given free
choice of grains and concentrates.
Three pairs of cows were used, and
they were rotated so that each pair
was fed all rations used in the test.
