Suburban Maryland had a new
filtration plant today-hailed as a
monument to vision and an indi-
cation Of social maturity.
At dedication ceremonies yester-
day at the Patuxent Filter Plant,
which lies on the hills rising from
the Patuxent River near Laurel.
DR.. Abel Wolman, professor Of
sanitary engineering at Johns
Hopkins University, spoke of the
men whose foresight was respon-
sible for the new plant.
He told of the late Robert B.
Morse. one of the early engineers
for the Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, which now serves both
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties. And he spoke of Harry
Hall, former commission chief
engineer, and of r. Howard Duck
EFT, leader of the commission.
VlSuaIlZed IN 1916.
DR.. Wolman said as early as
1916 Mr.. Morse visualized an ex-
panding water supply system. and
had marked on maps transmission
lines at the locations where the
lines are today.
Looking into the future" he
said. lit is not impracticable to
visualize a commission whose
sewage and water systems may
serve four counties instead of the
present two"
DR.. Wolman referred to Anne
Arundel and Howard Counties,
whose expanding population may
eventually bring them into the
suburban system.
He said the Patuxent River may
serve as a life line" for this
growing suburban area.
Water Cheap and Safe.

of the world is water so cheap

Arlington Parents
10 Continue Fight
On Core Studies

Critics OF a ninth-grade course
taught in Arlington will continue
to seek discontinYance of the cur
riculum although the Circuit
Court has ruled that it is being
legally taught.
James r. Miles, ST., father of a
ninth-grade student and one of
five parents who fled suit to pre-
vent teaching of the course, said
a public hearing will be held this
month by the Arlington Forum
on Public Schools to discuss the
curriculum.
Nov that we know it is legal" 4"
he said after Judge Walter r.
Mccarthy dismissed the COM
plant, I'VE must next determine
If it is proper course of instruc-
ton"
Combination Course.
The disputed course is a COM
bination of English and social
studies, known as GORE" Though
taught in Arlington junior high
schools in two previous years this
year it is required FOR the first
time.
The forum was organized by
parents who objected to the new
requirement. Mr.. Miles is presi-
dent of the group.
Core and other school study re-
quirements were reviewed in a
five-hour court hearing yesterday.
Karl G. Sorg. attorney for Mr.
Miles. said the core requirement
violates a State school board regu-
lation that limits the high school
program to four unit courses of
study per year. This ruling is de-
signed to prevent overworking the
students. he said.
But. Mr.. Sorg argued, with the
core course required, ninth grad
ers get five unit courses while
tenth, eleventh and twelfth-grad-
ers get five unit courses while
tenth. eleventh and twelfth-grad-
ers get only four.
Not High School Work.
c. Glen Hass. assistant school
superintendent In charge of in
struction, agreed that ninth-grad-
ers are required to take the equiv
alent OF five units but said that
under Arlington's school plan.
ninth grade work is not high
school work. He said the local
school system is divided into six
years of primary and elementary
work, three years of junior high
and three years Of senior high
study.
In reply to the complaint that
ninth-graders are overworked be-
cause of the extra hour of school
work. Mr.. Hass said elimination
of homework for ninth-graders1
reduces the actual work load.
In announcing his decision,
Judge Mccarthy said the evidence
submitted tended to show that
ninth-graders do less work than
tenth-graders.
Judge Withholds Comment.
Judge Mccarthy would not say
whether the core system is a wise
one or not. But he declared, "I'
have very definite opinions but
I don't feel called upon to express
them. 1t is matter for the school
administration to decide"
Thomas T. Hamilton, director
of secondary education for the
State Board of Education, said
the ninth-grade program in Ar
lington has the approval Of the
State board.
"We have advised the local
board that they have the right to
act as they have" Mr.. Hamilton
said,

The hearing adjourned with j.
F. Stokely. the company's traffic
manager, still to be cross-ex-
amined by Mr.. Miller.
The company carries fewer pas
sengers now than it did in l948,
1949 or 1850. although it now has
a greater total seating capacity

testified. Mr.. Stokely said that

buses and on September 80 of this
year had 142, but is getting more
by the end of the year.
No Cash Fare Increase.
Mr.. Stokely testified that the
company's new tariff, filed with
the ICC but now suspended, pro-
vides no increase in cash fares.
He said it merely would eliminate
tokens. These may now be used
in combination with cash for
cheaper rides in the various zones
Of the company in Arlington and
Fairfax Counties. Six tokens are
sold for 81. Fares range from 20
to 40 cents, in various riding zones.
The traffic manager said the

Further, he testified, new routes
are being established. He said
these will serve more distant parts
Of the compaliy's territory, where
new real estate developments are
growing up. But he declared
these will be operated at a loss
FOR some time until the areas be-
come more thickly populated.
Larger Buses.
Through the use of larger buses
she company is providing addi-
sional seating capacity, Mr.. Stoke
y said. But he pointed out that
only a few buses operate for any
substantial period of the 24-hour
day. and this idle equipment adds
TO the company's expenses.

controller. testified the firm ex-
poets. if token are eliminated, to
obtain additional revenue of S54,-

company anticipates it would lose

King Gains In Strength

LONDON, Sept. 26 = R - King Georges doctors reported today the monarch spent a less restful night but still keeps on gaining strength after Sundays dangerous lung operation.
 They also said his general condi- tion is good.
 One medical expert said the phrase Hess restful night" need not necessarily cause any concern. He explained that the doctors prob ably have cut down the amount of opiates given to the king to ease his pain in the period immediately after the operation in which all or part of lung was cut out.
 Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace spokesman disclosed the four doc tors who have attended the king 24 hours day are now able Ito come and go."
 But at least two have stayed at the palace all the time along with eight nurses.
 The bulletin today was signed by these four doctors and the surgeon who operated on the king. The surgeon has called each morning at the palace to consult with the others on terms of the bulletin.
