Protests
Heard by
Council on
Dispensary
Gaithersburg Viers
Mill Citizens Appear
To Speak on Subject

More than 60 persons jammed
the county council hearing room
Tuesday to protest the proposed
establishment of liquor dispense
ries at Gaithersburg and Viers Mill
Village.
While these groups turned out
in person to battle the proposed
dispensaries, the council was hit
also by flood of postcards from
the Gaithersburg area from per-
sons who favored the move.
Some 112 overwhelmingly
passed out by a Gaithersburg store
were received by the council.
No Action
The council took no action on
the proposal except to direct
County Manager Irving G. McNayr
to survey both areas for possible
buildings to house the dispensaries.
The council last year declined to
establish dispensaries in either area
because of the mass protest they
found. Much of this years opposi-
ton was based on the contention
that in Gaithersburg congested
traffic and lack of parking facili-
ties made it unwise to establish
the dispensary there.
Glenn E. Gillian, one of the
spokesman for the Gaithersburg
group said the dispensary was not
needed since five business houses
already sell beer and light wines
and the Rockville dispensary is
only four miles away.
Larger Communities
DR.. Herman Wilson, of the As
bury Methodist Church, said he
was not quarreling with the pres
ent dispensary system, but said the
county operated stores should be
confined to large communities.
Sterling Bowman, Gaithersburg
businessman, called the proposed
dispensary there a bad business
venture. He said some AZ per cent
of the residents are commuters who
buy their liquor in Washington at
cheaper rates. He added he thought
most of the business would be
drawn from the Rockville dispen-
sary and would not be worthwhile
to the county.
Mr.. Bowman also said he did
not feel it was right for the county
to compete with the three business
firms which have gotten beer and
light wine licenses since the coun-
ty last declined to set up a liquor
, dispensary there.
' The Rev. Harold B. Wright, of
the Viers Mill Methodist Church,
spoke against the location of a
dispensary there.

The chronic alcoholic is a sick
man-but it's a tough job to get
that over to him.
DR.. Anthony Zappala, clinical
instructor in psychiatry at
Georgetown University. explained
yesterday the alcoholic is often
completely resistant to the idea
that he is sick and should have
help.
The doctor said. the process
Of getting the alcoholic to under
go treatment is difficult, diScour-
aging. painful and annoying to
the doctor.
1.-THE physician must sell to the
patient, his family and maybe his
circle Of friends the idea that
he is suffering from an illness
which he can no more handle
alone than a diabetic can handle
his diabetes" ;" said DR.. Zappala.
DR.. Zappala addressed the

trict Medical Society.
Describing the alcoholic, DIR.
Zappala said alcoholism and
drunkenness are two different
things. He said alcoholics get
plenty drunk but that many who
get drunk are not alcoholics.
The alcoholic is q person who
has lost control of the practice
Of drinking alcoholic beverages
to an extent that his interper-
Sonal, family and community
relationships become seriously
disturbed" DR.. Zappala said.
He added that the alcoholic
usually hates liquor as well as
himself.
Speaking to his colleagues, DR..

fession has not been particularly
interested in the alcoholic nor

Three Boys Accused
In Rail Crosstie Case
BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE. Jan. 29.-Three
boys, II and Is years old, have
been accused of putting a cross
tie on a main line track of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad, at
the southwest edge of Baltimore
last Saturday morning.
The engineer of the Diplomat,
B. & o. flyer from st. Louis to
New York, spotted the tie and
slammed on the brakes soon
enough to avoid what might have
been a disaster.
The three boys were charged
with being delinquents and a
hearing for them in juvenile
court was set for February 4.
Police listed them as Seymour
Bowie, Is; Lynn Bailey, IA. and
Joseph Freeman, IA. Bailey and
Freeman previously have been at
Boys Village, Cheltenham, Md,
a State institution for juvenile
offenders. All live near the scene
of the incident. The arrests
resulted from a review of recent
complaints about trespassers on
the railroad right-of-way.
Investigators reported the boys
said they were hunting coal along
the tracks, picked up the tie,
started to carry it way, but
dropped it across a rail when it
became too heavy for them.

Landlord Court AssaiIed
As Collection AGENCY

The Landlord and Tenant
Branch of Municipal Court is
being used as a collection agency
by landlords and real estate
agencies, the Washington Hous-
ing Association charged yester-
day.
The charges were included in
an interim report on the court
and its proceedings.
From the rapidity of the
landlords action against ten
ants" the report said, lit ap-
pears quite clear that the court
is used as a collection agency"
Because it is possible for
landlord to file suit against a
tenant at any time after the day
the rent is due, the association
said, I'VE have found that
88.5 per cent of the 5,677 cases
during Qast) October were for
current months rent only-that
is, for the month not yet expired
when the case is brought to
court"
I'VE have reached the conclu-
sion, however" the report said,
that a one-month study will
not be sufficient"
The VIVA plans to complete
the survey when additional
funds are available.
An instance of a tenant bring
ing suite into the court against
a landlord is so rare as to be vir-
tually nonresident, the report
asserted.
