To Halt Alone
SanitarYFi|I
Montgomery Citizens
Say Violation Cuts
Value Of Property

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation last night asked the
County Council to take action
to stop the Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission from
operating a sanitary fill in a
residential A zone.
The operation of such a fill
in gravel pit near Falkland is
in violation of several provisions
of the county code, according to
Jerome j. Harris, chairman OF
the planning and zoning COM
mittee.
Z He accused the commission Of
failure to hold a public hearing
before starting the dumping
operation, continual use of mar
row residential roads by heavy
dump trucks and littering of the
roadside with debris from the
trucks. He also said property
values in the area had de-
creased because of the fill, and
that the decrease was reflected
this year in lowered assessments
The Columbia Road Citizens
Association, which serves the
Falkland area, has protested the
fill with the commission without
success, Mr.. Harris declared.
Higher Police Pay Asked.
In another action, the fedora
ton asked the County Council
to give favorable consideration
to a proposed pay increase for
county police. The new county
manager, Edward T. Beall, is
expected to make his recommen-
dation to the County Council to-
day regarding the increase. Po-
lice have asked for $500 to bring
their salaries in, line with those
paid in the District.
Robert L. Hacken, chairman
OF public safety, pointed out that
the county lost % policemen last
year and IT thus far in 1853.
Since it costs approximately
$1,000 to train recruit, he said,
1t Is false economy to deny a
salary increase.
The federation heard the new
county manager pledge a bust
ness-like administration of
county affairs.

Kentland is digging into its
pocket to help the parents of a
13-year-old boy who doesn't
know he is slowly dying of
leukemia.
Residents of the little COM
munity in Prince Georges
County, Md, know there's not
much they can do to save young
William Chick Lloyd from his
almost certain death.
But they are determined to
help the boys parents avert the
additional tragedy of debt.
Chicks father. 39-year-old
William B. Lloyd, ST., of 1899
Greenleaf road, says that so far
his medical expenses. not count
ing the recent services of special
lists, have amounted to about
$4,000 since the boys illness was
diagnosed as leukemia on June
IS. !.
Never Sought Aid.
Mr.. Lloyd has never sought
financial aid from his neighbors.
II would willingly go into debt
for the rest of my life" he said,
IF it would bring my son back
to health"
For some time, Mr.. and Mrs.
Lloyd resisted pleas from their
neighborS to let them solicit aid
from the community and other
sources. They finally gave in last
week when it became obvious
that the cost of prolonging the
boys life and making his final
days happy was going to put
heavy strain on Mr.. Lloyd's
modest income for years to

officers to show that Robertson
duped them into repaying him
American money for the excess
lire.
The officers who testified were
1t. Col. Morris Hobbs and Col. E.
j. Tingle. who served as financial
officers for the Joint American
Mission for Aid to Turkey. Both
said they bought Ira from Rob-
erson with American Government
checks, believing the Ira repre-
Sented American Government
funds.
Col. Hobbs said Robertson adj
vised him he had excess Ira
available from a sale of Air
Force vehicles in Turkey.
Suspicious. AlIayed.
The colonel added that he had
instructions to buy lira from
American agencies in Turkey,
before going to the banks of that
country.
Col. Hobbs said he once ques-
toned the procedure. He said
Robertson produced letters marked
top secret" signed by officers
named Mcintyre and ,Martel.
who were supposed to be in the
Office of the director Of finance
in Washington.
On the basis of instructions
in the letters, Col. Hobbs said
he continued to call on Rober-
son for lire whenever they were
needed in exchange for Ameri-
can dollars by the joint mission.
The Government contends, how
ever. that no officers named Nc
Intyre or Martel existed in the
finance department. The letters
were put in evidence.
The Government has more at
tachment suits filed against
Robertson in several other States
and the District. The Fairfax
case is the first to be tried. !.
