Dog Adoptions Drop
With S15SpayinqFee

A SIS fee for spaying female
dogs has made their adoption
from the Montgomery County
Animal Shelter prohibitive, the
county council was told yes
terday.
w. A. Neacey, president of the
Maryland Animal Welfare Asso-
citation. said only one female dog
has been adopted from the shell
ter since the regulation was
established last December.
Mr.. Neacey urged the council
to drop the regulation requiring
spaying, if the fee cannot be
lowered.
The speaker also challenged
the legality of an agreement be-
tween the county and a group
of veterinarians regarding the
fee.
He said the county director
of inspection and licenses also
has agreed to send the dogs for
spaying to certain hospitals.

attended.
The council got no open sup
port for the bill when it was
being considered. The County

Plan Offered
To Run Mains
ToMorningside
COP. Leader Urge.
Action at Once,
Legislation Later

Albert R. Hassall. Republican
chairman Of the Prince Georges
County legislative delegation
today offered plan for speedy
extension Of Washington Sub
urban Sanitary Commission wat
er and sewer lines to the town
OF Morningside.
The 500-home community
oozes sewage from its lawns and
streets and has been short of
water for weeks.
Sanitary Commission mains at
Suitland are about two miles
away. but because Morningside
is outside it's boundaries, the
agency cannot act without new
legislation.
Town Asks "Any Aid.'
Mayor H. w. Shugarts told the
county commissioners Friday
that sewage conditions are seri-
Gus enough to warrant remedial
action at special session of the
General Assembly. The town
yesterday appealed to the coun-
ty heads for "any aid you can
give"
ITO call a special session." Mr..
HasSall said, could, in my opin-
ion, be dispensed with. The
commission could lay lines i'm
mediately, provided county legis-
lators would agree in writing to
enact law at the next session
extending boundaries and au-
thorizing a bond issue to cover
the cost.
This has been done hereto
fore by the present delegation.
and could no doubt be done now
and thereby eliminate the cost
OF calling a special session."
Sees Emergency.
The 3O-day meeting next Feb
ruary is empowered to act only
on measures affecting the State
budget. the general public well
fare, or emergencies. Mr.. Has
sail believes Morningside's sew
age problem is in the latter cate
cory.
He said he is confident that
John R. Fletcher, the county's
Republican State Senator and
its three G. o. P. and two Demo-
cratic delegates will accede to
such an agreement.
Il feel sure" he declared. that
the Sanitary Commission is will
ing to go ahead with the project
under those conditions.
THE people of Morningside
are entitled to adequate sanitary
facilities and should be accorded
every possible assistance"

of building a racer comes after

The months of work paid off
for some as they got the nod
from judges. But for others, it
was back to work.
Among those rejected was
Dennis Griffin, ID, of 9315 War;
rem street, Silver Spring, Md.
His car was two inches too long.
Minutes later, Dennis was back
in line. An emergency amputa-

day.
But amputation couldn't solve
the problem of Tom Morris. IA.
of 909 Heron drive, Silver
Spring: He's too fat.

Fairfax Weighs
Year-Around
School Shifts
County May Adopt
3-Month Schedules
In Overcrowdinq

Fairfax County might turn to
year-around school shifts, If
classroom overcrowding gets
much worse.
The possibility Of abandoning
summer vacations and teaching
school in three-month shifts was
discussed by members of the
school board yesterday, after
they were advised about 1000
children may have to attend
school in halliday sessions next
fall.
I'VE just have to start looking
for ways to solve this overcrowd-
ing problem" said Robert F..
Davis, school board member from
Falls Church district. Zone pos
sibility is to have the children
attend schools in shifts"
20 Per Cent More Space.
Under this plan, one-fourth of
the school enrolment would have
months vacation at the end of
each three-month shift. This
would leave only three-fourths
Of the total school enrolment in
school at one time. School Off
cials estimate this would give
about 20 per cent more classroom
space.
"Administratively, it certainly
is possible" said Robert Walker,
director of surveys and informa-
ton. 1T does seem a waste to
have the schools idle all
summer"
The school board took no ac-
ton on the idea, but left it open
for further consideration. In the
meantime, school officials plan
to see what temporary quarters
might be rented near the most
crowded schools.
Litigation Stymies Building.
The halliday sessions would
extend into the fourth grades in
some schools next fall unless
something is done. The school
board cannot go ahead with new
construction to ease the over
crowding because litigation has
delayed sale of the latest $11
million bond issue.
The school board took steps
to speed up settlement of the
litigation which has sale of the
bonds blocked.
On motion of Richard Stands,
it was voted to ask the Virginia
Supreme Court of Appeals for an
early hearing of the law suit
which has stymied sale of the
bonds. The resolution also in
structs school board attorneys to
cooperate with Arlington County
in pressing for early hearing of
litigation which has delayed sale
of school construction bonds in
that county.
Would Cut Appeal Time.
The board adopted another
resolution offered by Mr.. Stands,
asking the States legislative ad-
visory committee to recommend
legislation reducing the time per-
mitted for appealing lawsuits in
volving bond issues or other cases
affecting the public interest. Mr..
Stands said the appeal time now
is four months.
Mrs. morine Crowther,
school board member from Mount
Vernon District, was elected
chairman of the school board to
succeed Fred w. Robinson of
DraneSville District. Mr.. Rob-
inson had been chairman for the
last 13 years. The school board
decided to establish a new policy
of rotating the chairmanship
every one or two years. Mr..
Shand was elected vice chair
man.

New Conferences Set
On Airport Problem;
Burke Plan Still Alive

A new conference on WASH
ington airport problems is on tap
today following disclosure on
Capitol Hill yesterday that the
controversial Burke, Va. project
has not been abandoned.
Representatives of the Air
Force, Eastern, American and
Capital Airlines will meet with
the Civil Aeronautics Admins
tration this afternoon to discuss
the overall problems" involved
in the use of Andrews Air Force
Base as supplemental civilian
field.
Contention of opponents of the
Burke project that it has been
abandoned by the Government
was sharply disputed in testi-
mony before a House Commerce
subcommittee yesterday. The sub
committee heard arguments for
and against legislation which
would give property owners on
the Burke site opportunity to buy
back the land purchased by the
Government.
Backed by Broyhill.
The repurchase measure is
sponsored by Representative
Broyhill, Republican, of Virginia.
The subcommittee voted to
hold up the Broyhill bill pending
negotiations for the use of An
drews.
The subcommittee, headed by
Representative Hinshaw. Repub-
lican, of California, was told that
negotiations will be continued
today on a high-level basis on
the Andrews proposal.
The reported agreement in
principle" between the Com
merce Department and Air Force
on civilian use of Andrews has
not reached a final contract, it
was reported.
Return to Tax Rolls Urged.
Testifying for his bill to force
the Government to sell back to
former owners land already ac-
quired at Burke, Mr.. Broy-
hill claimed that the Burke
property should be turned back
to the tax rolls in Virginia and
owners should be allowed to re-
purchase their homes and land.
This position was supported
also by Judge Paul E. Brown, q
member of the Burke Airport
Relocation Committee and by
Harold K. Howe, committee
chairman
Frederick B. Lee,. Civil Aero
nautics administrator, told the
committee that the Burke Air
port, authorized by Congress in
1850, is still a definitely pend
ing project, and has not been
abandoned"
Although Congress has refused
to appropriate further funds fol
the authorized field, Mr.. Lee said
the new administration has not
abandoned the project by its
policy Of deferring its request
for more money.
He asked the subcommittee tc
defer any action on the Broyhill
bill pending attempts by the
CAA to obtain use of Andrews
Field for civil air transport.
Alternate Course.
IF Andrews cannot be OBJ
tained," Mr.. Lee said, then the
proper course will be TO continue
the present status of Burke until
some final solution to the prob
lem can be reached"
Bradley D. Nash, Air Force
deputy assistant for civil avia-
ton. questioned sharply by Mr..
Hinshaw and other committee
members, insisted that I'VE are
eager to settle this question. "
He made no predictions, however.
as to how soon an agreement
could be reached.
Several details over which
there Is q difference Of opinion
