Inner Lives of Hornets I aid Bare
In Window of BrondywineHom

The pear-shaped nest was 9
inches wide and II inches high
yesterday and was growing rapid

comb after comb. The hornets are

Roberta and her family watch
the nest grow through the window
pane, and the hornets don't seem
to mind. But no one goes too close
on the outside. Farm people say
that angry hornets attack at
supersonic speed and hit with the
impact of a mules hoof.
The babies like sweets and other
insects and are particularly fond
of housefies. Their elders are ex-
pert butchers. They cut up cap
tives into neat morsels and feed
them to the young.
Hornets don't make honey like
bees or provide other food for a
colder day. In fact. when frost and
ice arrive they abandon their nests
to seek shelter in logs or trees.
Most of the males die during the
winter.
Not so the queens. They usually
pull through. The hornet girls are

Dr.. Barrett Cited
For Poor Law
Norfolk Delegate
Says Hospital Head
Opposed Action
BY the Associated Press

NORFOLK, Va, Aug. 6.-The
"inadequacy" of present Virginia
laws relating to the escape of
mental patients has been blamed
on Hospital Commissioner Joseph
F. Barrett by Delegate Louis Lee
Guy Of Norfolk.
DR.. Barrett's personal opposi-
ton" to tightening the laws at the
1850 General Assembly session
resulted in their being full of
loopholes, Mr.. Guy declared in
q statement last night.
The Norfolk legislator said he
was the author of a law at tine
1850 Assembly designed to make
it mandatory for the superintend-
ent of the hospital from which
an inmate escaped to issue a war;
rant for the escapee's arrest and
to notify various officials if the
patient were not captured at once.
Barrett's Opposition Cited.
However, he said, when this
bill was heard by the court of
justice committee Of the House of
Delegates, DR.. Barrett personally
appeared and vigorously opposed
the measure"
Mr.. Guy said DR.. Barrett'S argu-
ment at that time twas that dis
cretion should be left with the
superintendent as to whether
they issue a warrant or not, and
that if they failed in their duty
the matter of their discipline
should be left to him instead Of
provided by law"
Mr.. Guys bill would have made
It a misdemeanor for a superin-
tendent to issue the warrant
promptly. .-<.
In Wake Of Norfolk Killing.
Mr.. Guys bill was introduced
two years ago after an escaped
mental patient killed a young girl
in his home city of Norfolk. His
statement last night followed a
finding by Attorney General AL
mond that State laws dealing with
the escape of mental patients were
not adequate to assure their quick
recapture. fs
Mr.. Almonds report, made to
Gov. Battle, followed an investi-
cation of circumstances surround
ing the escape of Maurice Ray Fox,
80, from the Western State Hos
pital at Staunton on May 10. Fox
was not recaptured until May %,
one day after he slew three persons
in LOudoun County.

County Rent Control Hearing
Set as Housing Fight Intensifies

A battle over continuation Of
rent control and public housing
developments appeared in the
wind yesterday, as the Montgom-
cry County Council moved a step
closer to consideration of the
availability Of housing in the
county. ..
The council set September 8 as
a tentative date for a public hear
ing on continuation of rent control
in the county. Federal controls
die automatically on September
30, unless local areas make specific
requests for their continuation.
Council President Lathrop Smith
and County Manager Irving G..
McNayr said they have been
|deluged with telephone calls and
letters from both proponents and
opponents Of the continuation.
The hearing viii be held to de-
termine whether a critical housing
shortage exists in the county.
Facts Sought.
The council yesterday revealed
that the county housing authority
had asked the county Real Estate
Board to come up with some hard
facts to support its charge that
there is no need for low-rent pub
lie housing in the county.
In a letter last June, c. r. Ora
ham, president Of the Real Estate
Board, opposed continuation OF
the public housing developments
now operated by the county.
John H. Pratt, chairman Of the
housing authority, took issue with
the board and asked it for evil
dence to support its statement.
Mr.. Pratt said there was a definite
shortage of low-rent housing In
the county.
Mr.. Graham said today the
term "low-rent" housing was moi
used by the Real Estate Board ir
its statement. He said the Fed.
eral law does not distinguish be-
tween types of housing shortage
but merely requires that an actual
housing shortage exist.
The county operates two vet
Grams housing projects, one col
ored and one white, providing
llow-rent units for some 185 fami-
lilies.
Mr.. Pratt also said the housing
authority previously had been told
by the Real Estate Board it had
no information as to the rental
range in the county. He said that

Construction Help Up
To $2.4 Million

Fairfax County is about to get
an additional $1,566,500 from the

ing the money had not been COM
Ipleted, "but it is pretty definite
we can count on it,"
Three specific projects are to
receive the new ALLEGATION as fol-
lows: $4,000 for the new Mer-
rified Negro High School, 10000
for an addition to Falls Church
High School, and $396,500 for a
new 16- classroom elementary
school at Sleepy Hollow.

only high school facilities the

time an application was filed for
Federal help. It recently was de-
Icided to add an elementary wing,
bringing the total anticipated cost
up to $814,000. The School Board
voted yesterday to revise the
Mortified Federal aid application
so $244,000 in county money can
be added to build the elementary
wing.
Mr.. Rice said he expects the
Falls Church addition also will
cost more than the Federal al
