honigomerY's Selling
OF Beer Opposed al
Delegation Hearing
BY a staff Correspondent of The stur

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 90 The
Montgomery County delegation to-
day was studying arguments urg-
ing support of a proposal to end
the county's beer monopoly.
Among the statements made last
night at closed hearing before
the group was a charge that the
.county's beer profits are literally
stolen" from private businessmen.
The charge was made by Arthur
j. Hilland. attorney for Eugene j..
c. Raney, Silver Spring business
man and beer wholesaler, it was
learned after the meeting. 1t was
the first closed hearing held by
the delegation during the current
session of the General Assembly.
Representatives of the State
Controllers Office have urged the
delegation to sponsor a bill which
would return the wholesale dis
tribution of beer to private in
terests. The county now gets
about $134.000 a year from its
beer operations.
Mr.. Hilland and Mr.. Raney
claimed last night that if the
county went out of the beer busi-
ness it would result in increased
consumption and the county
would benefit through a jump in
State refunds under the Sherbow
law.
Mr.. Raney told reporters after
the meeting that "the Montgom-
cry system of monopolizing beer
sales is the only one like it in the
United States"
Also attending the meeting was
John J. Wachter, attorney for two
Silver Spring restaurant owners.
Mr.. Wachter centered his fire on
a Montgomery bill increasing on
and of-sale beer license fees, from
$50 to SITS. According to the at
torney, the new figure is higher
than in any other county in Mary
land.

Steel Plant in Virginia
Possible, Wilson SAYS
BY The Associated Press

A steel plant in Virginia. built
by private interests with Govern
ment approval, still is a posi-
bility, says Defense Mobilizer
Charles E. Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson's comment through
an aide. came after he wrote Rep
resentative Harrison, Democrat
of Virginia that there is no Gov
ernment sponsorship of new steel
making facilities in Virginia.
He said he believes "he will
have enough steel capacity upon
performance of the contracts al
ready signed" to carry through a
production goal set for 1858. He
added that later steel needs are
uncertain.
Even so, Mr.. Wilson says, the
possibility is not precluded that
a certificate of necessity will be
issued for a steel mill in Vir-
ginia. He says that is matter
for decision by the Defense Pro-
duction Administration and the
business expansion Office.

viI|agersAppea|
For Home Rule
In Chevy Chase
Meeting at Library
Told of Plans Sent
To General Assembly

Greater home rule for Chevy
Chase Village, Md, will be re-
quested of the current Maryland
General Assembly.
A legislative program that would
give the village more independ-
ence from the Montgomery
Council was approved at a meet
ing of village residents last night
in the Chevy Chase Library. Ar
thur G. Lambert, chairman of the
villages Board of Managers, said
the program was being forwarded
to the General Assembly for ap-
proval.
The proposed changes in the
village government would:
/. Allow the Board of Managers
to pass ordinances without the
present formality of having them
approved by the Montgomery
County Council.
Would Permit Loan.
2 Permit an emergency loan OF
3 per cent of the villages assessed
value when it is approved by resi-
dents. Mr.. Lambert estimated
present assessments would allow
loan up to 100000.
8. Authorize the board of man
ayers to borrow a maximum OF
$4,000 on tax anticipation certifl-
Gates. The only borrowing power
of the board at present would be
to mortgage community-ow
property, Mr.. Lambert said.
4. Increase the tax rate ceiling
from so to 10 cents per 500 of
assessed valuation. The present
rate Is 40 cents per $100.
5. Change the name from Chevy
Chase Village to Town of Chevy
Chase Village. Mr.. Lambert ex-
planned that the name change
would keep the area from missing
out on some advantages enjoyed
by towns. Chevy Chase Village
has been an incorporated town
since 1947. The village first was
organized as taxing area in 1913
Election Changes.
It also proposed to change elec-
tion procedures so three members
of the Board of Managers are
elected one year and four the
following year. instead of the pres
ent system of electing all seven
members biennially.
1t was also voted last night to
include about 70 more homes and
so undeveloped properties in the
village. The new homes are To-
Gated on Grove and Oliver streets
to the south of the present village
limits, and Belmont avenue, to the
west. The new addition will make
about 600 homes within the vii
lage.
If the Legislature approves the
changes, they will take effect in
April.

Legislature TO Speed
Hospital Program
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. Feb. 20.-The
death of a mental hospital pa
tient as the result of an attack
by a drunken attendant brought
indications from Gov. Battle that
the 1852 General Assembly will
be asked to speed the hospital
modernization program.
The Governor said yesterday
that his Office was endeavoring to
get all the facts in connection
with the patients death. He
added, however, that the "unfor-
tunate incident served to point
up again the difficulty the State
faces in obtaining proper per-
sonnel for the mental institutions.
More Funds in Prospect.
At press conference the Gov
ernor noted that the State now Is
spending or will spend about $40
million for improving the physical
plants of the hospitals.
And" he observed, prospects
are for further large appropria-
tions -. -
He noted, too, that the 1850
Legislature appropriated STAT
million for the current biennium
for the care and treatment of
mental patients, an increase of
$2,650,000 over the appropriation
for the last two-year period.
DR.. Joseph E. Barrett, State
Commissioner of Hospitals and
Mental Hygiene. said the attend
ant who attacked the 74-year-old
patient at Eastern State two
months ago, was an alcoholic who
appeared to be improved enough
to be employed as an attendant
This is customary procedure in
the State hospitals where the
shortage of qualified attendants is
chronic.
Won't Be Prosecuted.
Inc commissioner said the at
tendant went out and got drunk
on his first pay day. He came back
to the hospital, went to the ward
where he had been working, and
knocked down the patient. The
elderly man suffered a broken hip
and died two weeks later.
DR.. Granville L. Jones. superin-
tendent of Eastern State, said the
attendant was Immediately re-
turned to the status of patient,
rather than attendant, and local
authorities were notified of the
death.
Court officials decided there
would be no point in prosecuting
the case. DR.. Jones said, after the
matter had been discussed with
the circuit judge and the Com
monwealth's Attorney.
