Search Warrant Error Upsets
Baltimore Numbers Conviction

Truth of the matter is, s. Ralph
Warnken is a judge Of Baltimore

Somehow his name appeared
on a warrant issued by fellow
Judge Robert s. France as the
man who had sworn to the con-
tents, linking Howard with the
numbers business.
Sergt. James r. Middleton ac-
tually did the swearing.
A typo" all right, the appeals
court said. But, explained Judge
William L. Henderson, "the de-

The decision left the State

# and when the time comes fol-
the District water supply to start
getting its scheduled injections OF
sodium silicofiuoride. the public
should be told the precise time.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue went on record to this effect
today.
He did so when the possibility
was raised that District officials
following the lead Of other cities
might purposely get hazy over the
If1uoridation date to forestall
imaginary complaints.
The experience of a number o1
other municipalities was recalled
In one, for example, the citizenry
somehow got the impression
which authorities did not try tt
dispel. that water fluoridation wa
an accomplished fact in theil
parts.
Suddenly consumers began re-

course, the city hadn't fiuoridated
bot all-and didn't until after the

But Commissioner Donohue
laverred that "trickery 9of this OF
any sort would not be pract cticed on
the people Of Washington.

Democrats 10 Study
Virginia Redistricting
Problems March "a
BY the Assoeioisd Press

RICHMOND, Mar. IS. = The
Democratic State Central Com
Fmittee will hold a special meeting
here March "a to consider party
problems posed by the new con-
|gressional redistricting act.
The session. called by Chairman
C. Alvin Massenburg Of Hampton
Should pave the way for the NOM
ination of candidates for the
House from all 10 new districts.
However, the method Of nomi-
nation remains a thorny problem.
The meeting will seek to deter
mine whether candidates will be
chosen by district convention OF
whether it can ultimately be ar
ranged for districts to hold pri-
maries this year. ~
Other Districts Altered.
The new law strips Arlington
Fairfax, Alexandria and Falls
Church from the old 9th district
and Jumps them together to form
the 10th. It also alters the size
and shape of the 1st, I'd, Sd, 4th
and 7th districts.
Until the central committee
Iacts, the 10th has no district COM
lmittee whatsoever and there will
be vacancies on several other dis
trict committees due to the whole
sale reshuffling.
Establishment Of district COM
|mittees will clear the first hurdle
toward solution Of the nominat-
ling problem posed by the non
emergency redistricting law.
The 1852 Assembly failed. de-
spite Gov. Battles urgings, tc
make the revised districts effective
Immediately by adding an emer-
Igency clause.
Not Effective Till June.
AS q result. the law substituting
the 10 district arrangement fol-
the present nine does not take
effect until June %.
Because State law sets the
ldeadline for qualification by Con-
Igressional primary candidates at
80 days before this years July Is
primary date, most opinion had
held district primaries were au-
dramatically barred this year.
However, Martin A. Hutchinson
|of Richmond, former secretary Of
the central committee. has sug-
|gested that it is legally possible to
hold district primaries.
Mr.. Hutchinson said he was
willing to appear before the cen
|tral committee and demonstrate
how, in his opinion, the law and
the party plan contain nothing to
prevent primaries in even the re-
|vised districts.

Lose zoning Plea on
Bethesda Clubhouse

An application for use Of a pri-
vate residence at 4911 MoorlanC
lane, Bethesda, as a clubhouse fol
USO and YWCA activities was
denied without prejudice by the
County Board of Zoning Appeals
yesterday.
The board said it turned dowr
the request because land area al
the proposed site does not satisfy
the zoning requirements. The de-
cision declares the application
may be renewed if a bona fide
lease covering adjacent property
is filed with the new application
Activities Are Curtailed.
The YWCA, which filed the ap-
plication, formerly had a club
house at 8410 Wisconsin avenue
but the lease was not renewed
when 1t expired March l. Activi-
ties of the organization, which
sponsors USO, have been curtailed
although 1t is using space in the
|Glenbrook Country Club, Bethesda
The zoning board said the ap-
plication. filed for a coming ex-
ception to use the residential
property, was faulty because the
property contains only !, 10000
square feet. The zoning ordinance
requires at least $4,000 square feet
for such operations. ~
Letter Ruled insufficient.
The board said a letter from a
property owner adjoining the
proposed clubhouse, in which he
authorized use of $4,000 square
feet Of his land in connection
with the club. was not sufficient,
legally, to stand up as a lease. =.
The appeals body also said the
suitable arrangements for Off

Fairfax Hearing
Called on Water
FluoridafioIl
Ordinance Ordered
Published at
Board Meeting

A public hearing on an ordi-
nance to permit q fluoridation Of
water in Fairfax County will be
held by the Board Of Supervisors
next month.
Publication Of the ordinance was
ordered by the supervisors yester-
day. and April 16 tentatively was
set as the hearing date.
The ordinance would allow the
private water companies in Fair
fax County to fiuoridate water
supplies. Fairfax County has nc
central, county-operated water
system.
A similar ordinance was adopted
in Alexandria over a year ago
The Alexandria Water Co., which
serves Alexandria. said it would
be unable to fluoridate water for
that city. however. until Fairfax
County took similar action. This
is because the same reservoir Is
used by the Alexandria Water Co
and its subsidiary, the Virginia
Water Co., which serves much OF
Fairfax County.
Reports on Total Tax Base.
John w. Ferguson, director OF
assessments. reported that the
lcounty's total tax base now stands

assessments; $25 million, personal
property; 81 million. merchants

|sessmentS.
The new total tax base is the
figure on which the 1862 tax rate
will be based. The 1851 tax rate
was figured on a total tax base OF
about $123 million. which was an
estimated assessment. When real
estate reassessment figures affect.
ing the 1851 base were complete
however. the total tax base actu-
ally turned out to be about $16s
million. The underestimated as
Sessment resulted in a tax surplus
of about 81 million.
An amendment to the building
code was adopted excluding sheds
garages and other non-residential
outbuildings from its require
mentS.
Code Held Impractical.
The building code was adopted
last year and county officials re-
ported that it was impractical to
apply it to certain non-residential
type structures.

their first deadlock since taking
office January !. The vote was
3-3 on motion to appoint Slater
