For Gifts 10 HospitaI

The way has been cleared for
Fairfax County to give $4,000
each to Alexandria and Arlington
Hospitals.
Litigation challenging the
Board of Supervisors authority
to appropriate the money was
dismissed in Fairfax Circuit Court
yesterday by Judge Arthur Sim
clair.
In its plea for dismissal Of the
suit, the county argued that the
appropriations were = gifts, and
not claims against the county as
set forth in the litigation.
Six Fairfax County residents
brought the suit to prevent the
county from donating the money
to the two hospitals, contending
it was not a proper claim.
The supervisors two months
ago voted to appropriate $4,000
to each Of the hospitals because
both serve Fairfax County pa
tients. Fairfax County has nc
hospital of its own.

Fairfax Will File Bids
For Federal Aid on
10 School Projects

Fairfax County is preparing to
file applications for Federal aid
on 10 school projects. but county
officials aren't optimistic about
how much money they might get
Fairfax school officials selected
10 projects for Federal aid after
they were advised that the county
lis entitled to approximately $3.8
million under Public Law BIS.
Last year, the county was en-
titled to about 50 million under

alton ran out.

Mr.. Rice said Fairfax County
was advised of its status in the

ence Thursday with DR.. w. H

The entitlement figure is tenta-
tive, Mr.. Rice said, and it does moi
guarantee that the county will gel
that much money. if any. A $13s
million appropriation for the Fed
eral aid program has been ap.
proved by the House. and now
goes to the Senate.
Must Wait for Priority.
Even if the full appropriation i:
passed, Fairfax County then must
wait it's turn on the priority list
before getting any money. Il
the money runs out before Fair
fax's priority comes up, then the
county doesn't get any money
said Mr.. Rice. Fairfax is 9th or
the priority list.
The 10 projects which the
county is preparing to file in the
Federal aid program are to be
submitted to the school board fol

Tourist Home Owner
|nCheWChaseH Held
In zoning Charges

Mrs. Helen B. London, IS, was
arrested yesterday on a charge of
violating Montgomery County
zcning laws by operating a tourist
home in her residence at Wiscon-
sin avenue and Langdrum lane,
Chevy Chase, Md.
She was released on her per-
sonal bond, pending a hearing in
Rockville Police Court next Thurs
day.
The action was taken by the
county after unsuccessful at
tempts to get Mrs. London to
close the tourist home in a resi-
Dental A zone. The warrant was
sworn out by Kenneth F. Clark,
an inspector with the Department
Iof Inspection and Licenses.
Order Dated March 1.
A request of the Chevy Chase
Gardens Citizens Association that
the home be closed in compliance
with recent zoning decisions was
referred to the county attorney
last Tuesday. The association
pointed out that the home had
been ordered to stop taking tour
lists as of March l
Police have had the home under
surveillance for several days. ac-
cording to L. Clark Ewing. as
Isistant county attorney.
Mrs. London lost an 18-month
battle with county officials last
January when Judge Woodward
upheld a Board of Zoning Appeals
refusal to grant her permit. A
widow with two children, Mrs.
London said the tourist home Is
her only source of livlihood.
Fight Began in 1850.
The county's fight with Mrs.
London began in the summer. of
1850 when the license department
notified her she was violating zon-
ing laws by operating a tourist
home in a residential A zone. She
subsequently was denied an ap-
|plication for re-zoning of the
property and a petition for an ex-
|ception to the zoning rule.
When Judge Woodward upheld
the denial of the exception, he
told the court that at the time
Mrs. London and her late husband
bought the property in 1947, they
should have or could have known
it was zoned residential and that
tourist homes are banned in such
areas.
County legal officials said there
was no provision for further ap-
peal on Judge Woodward's ruling.
They indicated yesterday, how
ever, that the legal action taken
against Mrs. London still may not
bring about immediate closing Of
the tourist home.

Measure Requires
Listing Of Buyers
And Agents on Ticket
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, April 5.-Gov.
McKeldin yesterday vetoed a bill
that would require the names Of
agents and the buyers they rep-
resent to appear on tobacco mar
ket sales tickets.
Five Southern Maryland Sena-
tors, including Majority Leader
IGoldstein, sponsored the bill.
They said it would discourage
|speculators, called "pinhookers. I"
j Gov. McKeldin contended the
bill would cause additional ex-
lpense, might to some extent lead
to the disclosure of trade secrets
and is an unnecessary invasion
of the rights and practices 81
private enterprise" 8 L
Other Actions.
Among other actions on bills of
a controversial nature the Gov
ernor approved a one-year sus-
Ipension Of oyster-bottom leases
and said the holiday should be
used to find which Chesapeake
Bay bars are actually natural or
barren. 81
Under its terms, the Tidewater
Fisheries Department Is prevented
from renting out oyster rocks for
private cultivation after June ].
The ban does not extend to ap-
Iplications for leases which were
filed prior to March Is. 4
Disputed by Shoremen.
Many Shoremen have disputed
the practice Of leasing bottoms
legally declared barren because,
they claim, in some instances
those areas are ''knee deep" in
oysters. &
Some oystermen contend there
has not been a survey of oyster
bottoms Of a sufficiently late date
to determine with any accuracy
the conditions of So-called barren
rocks.
In all, the Governor signed 10
measures of the 1852 General As
sembly session and vetoed two.
That cleaned up the docket of
legislation for the year. OF 78
bills passed during the 30-day
session, 68 became law-one over
Gov. McKeldin's veto during the
session.
Other Measures Signed.
The Governor signed other
measures that will:
Allow the purchase on credit of
tax stamps for liquor and wine,
so long as the State is paid by
the first of the month following
sale.
Exempt from the sales tax all
new or used cars and commercial
