"We need more apartments
for married employees" said Mrs.
Dunn. "There is very little hous-
ing in the Rosewood area that
can be rented out there in the
country. We should make it so
desirable that attendants will
not want to move.
Il would like to urge a recrea-
ton building for the employees
and the staff, with facilities for
bowling. billiards and similar
things. For Rosewood is a long
way from town. A swimming
pool should be open to the en-
ployes. as we'll as the children" "
Parents Required to Pay.
Mrs. Dunn said she has been
informed Rosewood has an aver
age intake Of 25 new children

Maryland law requires parents
to pay for their children ac-
cording to their ability.
DR.. Riley H. Guthrie, mental
hospital adviser, National In
Stitute of Mental Health, Pub
lie Health Service, said he made
a brief survey of all of Mary
lands mental institutions, early
in 1949. This was in response
to the then Gov. Lane. But DR.
Guthrie said he has not been to
Rosewood since and knows of
no independent, outside agency
that has surveyed the institu-

DR.. Ralph M. Chambers, chief
Of the hospital inspection staff
of the American Psychiatric AS
sociation, 1785 Massachusetts,
avenue NV, recalled his or

Rosewood, which is for feeble

knows of no independent ap-
praisal of Rosewood by outside
public or private organizations
But numerous Maryland bodies
have inspected Rosewood and
made recommendations.

Pang of Regret for Some.
For some of the older workers,
of course, the change of head
quarters is bound to bring a
pang of regret. The dignified
white marble building at 1870 E
street has special place in the
hearts of many of them. Presi-
dent Coolidge laid its corner
stone. President Hoover and
Gen. John j. Pershing helped
dedicate it. And the money to
build it was raised by Miss Mabel
T. Boardman and other devoted
leaders as a tribute to the sacri-
fees of Americas women in
World War I.
Although national officers
haven't yet decided exactly what
use will be made of the hand
some building, it will remain
where passersby can continue to
read the honored inscription
across its portico:
Dedicated to the memory Of
the heroic women of the World

Severe Changes Ruled
On Par With Taxes
In Prince Georges

Front foot benefit charges due
the Washington Suburban Sani-
tary Commission have status
equal but not superior to State
and county tax obligations, Cir
cult Judge Charles C. Marbury
ruled yesterday.
The courts opinion Is expect
ed to clear the titles and thus
improve marketability of many
properties in Prince Georges
County.
Litigation from which the
opinion stemmed began last July
when Bird H. Dolby and his
wife, Dorothy L. Dolby. of Lam
ham, filed an action to perfect
titles to some 80 properties in
scattered sections. ...
The Dolbys bought from the
County Commissioners properties
acquired as result of tax sales
conducted by the county treas
urer. Some were subject to
Sanitary Commission front foot
charges, for water and sewer
facilities.
All the transfers were made
before 1943. In that year, the
General Assembly included in
tax law changes a provision CIV
ing persons who bought such
lands from the county the right
to ask the court to clear titles
by foreclosing redemption rights.
The Sanitary Commission
claimed the sales were illegal
because front foot benefits had
not been paid. The agency also
contended that the 1943 Act
was not applicable because
the Dolby sales were made be-
fore it was enacted.

New Plan Cited

|At Peace eCross
system of Locks
And Drainage Is
Asked by Delegate
By Gene Goodwin
StuT Sfuff ccsTespondent

ANNAPOLIS. Jan. 10.-A new
plan for draining OF the food
waters at Peace Cross has been
unveiled here by Delegate j.
Frank Lillard, jr.. Republican, Of
Prince Georges County.
The plan, which Mr.. Lillard
declared will eliminate all flood
ing in the Peace Cross area, was
developed by Joseph A. Darneille.
q Washington hydraulics engi-
neer who lives in the county.
It contemplates a system Of
locks and an overflow drainage
area Of almost 200 acres.
Mr.. Lillard has prepared q
resolution, which probably will
be introduced in the House Mon
day night, calling on Gov. Nc
Keldin to name a five-mari COM
mission to study the Darneille
plan and report back by March
l.
Disclosure Of Mr.. Lillards plan
caused CONSERVATION among
some Of his Republican col-
leagues in the county delegation.
particularly Delegate william r.
Hughes.
Fears Result to County.
Mr.. Hughes is a proponent Of
the Solcalled Greenhorne plan
for raising the roads at the Peace
Cross so that traffic will continue
to move even when the area is
flooded. Delegate Albert r. Has
sail also favors an attempt to
get the Greenhorne project un-
derway as soon as possible.
Mr.. Hughes fears the Darneille
plan will indefinitely delay the
Greenhorne project and the
county will be left in the lurch
again.
Mr.. Lillard said he has invited
Mr.. Darneille. whom he iden-
tined as a former West Virginia
State roads commissioner, to
detail his scheme to the delega-
ton some time next week.
He said Mr.. Darneille de-
veloped the plan out of civic in
terest and brought it to him last
fall.
Estimated cost Of the Darneille
plan is $l.890,000 Mr.. Lillard
said.
$50O,00O for Road Raising.
The Army Engineers scheme.
which has been in the formula
tive stage for years, would cost
anywhere from $12 million to
$40 million, Mr.. Lillard said.
The road-raising project. ac-
cording to Mr.. Hughes. would
cost about $500,000. He admits.
however, that the Greenhorne
idea would not alleviate the
floods which periodically inun-
cate the Bladensbulg area. His
AAOHO' 4AO co4A, Ao w 6CU Vic AOcuo
raised now and then work for
the Army Engineers project.
Under the Darneille plan, as
outlined by Mr.. Lillard, the high
water. both from heavy drain
age and from tidal movements.
would be controlled by a series
Of locks. Excess water would
flow into q drainage area of
nearly 200 acres to the south Of
Peace Cross.
Mr.. Lillard said all but IL
acres of the swampy area to be
used for the surplus pool is now
owned by the Maryland-National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Mr.. Lillard said he expects the
State would pay for his project
if it is adopted. The two high
ways, U. S. and so, which inter-
sect at Peace Gross, are State
roads.

A 178 seat auditorium is on
the second floor. Extra space at
the rear can either be used for
200 more portable chairs, or shut
off with a movable partition for
use as an extra room. Also on
this floor are a large, high-ceil-

a board room and fund cam
paign headquarters. Campaign
workers were the first to move in.
They are the floors only occu-

Also on this floor are spacious

The classroomS are in groups

Officers for the Junior Red

floor. And cafeteria seating

Varied Color Schemes.
Varied color schemes have
been used, along with indirect
lighting, and many ceilings have
acoustic tile to minimize noise.
Outside, there is parking space
for 78 cars.
Architects we're Eggers and
Higgins of New York, who de-
signed the National Gallery of

Washington. The Public Build
ings Service supervised construc-
ton.
For the chapters 161 paid en-

teers-25,0 900 of the latter last
year, according to Mr.. WILSON,
the contrast with the old quarters
will be marked. The old build
ing. designed for a staff of a
dozen, consists mostly of a large
auditorium which long ago
ceased to fulfill that function
and was subdivided into tiny
noisy Offices with partitions.
Old Center Cramped.
The old blood center also was
seriously cramped. Now it's white

able to accommodate up to about

that number can be increased
easily to $50. Mr.. Wilson said
Over $1,000 donors came to the
former center last year.
Shipping facilities for blood
destined for Korea and area hos
pitals also are much improved
The same improved facilities

tie over two years ago, President
Truman laid the cornerstone
just about a year later, and
today the new headquarters is
almost ready to start humming.
Private Generosity Helps.
AS in the case of it's predeces-
sor, public and private generos-
ity combined to make the new
building possible. The land, like
that for the old building, was
donated by Congress. A public
fund camnaign-part of the
regular Red Cross drive of 1947
raised about $385.000 of the
construction cost. Bequests and
other special gifts provided addi-
tional funds. And the national
Red Cross paid about $1.2 mil
lion for the present chapter
house. Total cost of the new
building, including furnishings,
was a little over 81 million.
Compared to the old one, the
building is big. It has about
10000 square feet of floor space,
while the old building has only
1000. 1t is aforementioned and
far more efficiently designed.
The present layout has long been
a makeshift. Red Cross officials
expect it to be a model for chap
ters elsewhere.
Better Facilities Needed.
At the same time they feel the
So million investment is far from
extravagant. A better head
quarters, they say. was essential.
And they are certain increased
Red Cross service to the COM
munity will quickly give the
proof.
The new building makes an
imposing addition to Washing
tons topography. It stands at
the northern edge of the present
downtown Government area.
The site is the southern half
of the block bounded by Twen-
tieth. Twenty-first, E and F
streets. Modern apartment
houses are on two sides. Park
ing lots and a handful of old
brick row houses are on the
others.
The Interior Department is a
block to the east, the State De-
partment a stones throw to the
southwest. Eventually new Gov
ernment buildings may arise
nearby.
Built on Simple Lines.
The center remains conven-
iently within reach of National
Red Cross headquarters, three
block walk away. But, accord
ing to Manager Nat c. Wilson
Washington's Red Cross workers
10 longer are working in the ma
tionals' back yard. They now
have a yard-and much more
of their own.
The building, of Indiana lime
stone, has simple lines. Bronze
frames around its large, modern
windows are the sole decorative
feature on the exterior. The only
marble is in the modest-size lob
by and a stairway rising to the
second floor.
There are four working floors
Half of the first is for the blood
center. already operating there
The other half will house part OF
