County Council
Meets Today on
Trash Strike
Other Officials Are
Invited to Gathering
In Montgomery

The Montgomery County coun-
Gil, sitting as the board of health,
will meet in emergency session
at 4 pm. today to discuss what
action, if any, the county should
take in the garbage and trash
pile-up caused by striking col
lectors.
Acting Council President Har-
old F. Hammond called the
meeting as the strike of Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission collectors moved into it's
third day.
Some so collectors of the $50
on strike showed up today, &C
cording to Chief Engineer Harry
B. Shaw, but refused to work.
The committee representing the
strikers were not on hand, Mr..
Shaw said.
The strikers are asking IS
more for their present six-day
work week or a fve-day week at
the present wage.
Those Invited to Meeting.
Mr.. Hammond said Acting
County Manager Alex. K. Han
cock, public works officials, the
county attorney, health officer
and a representative of the san
itary commission will be asked to
attend the council meeting.
The council does not want to
be put in the position of strike
breaking, Mr.. Hammond said,
but he added, it may have to act
if the trash pile-up presents an
immediate health menace.
Mr.. Hancock met with public
works officials at g pm. today to
discuss what action could and
should be taken if the strike con-
tinueS.
The acting county manager
also ordered that the county
dump in Rockville be kept open
until 9 pm. daily and all day
Sunday for residence to deliver
their own trash.
Mr.. Hancock conferred yeSter-
day with DR.. V. L. Ellicott, county
health officer, on the dangers of
the growing trash piles. DR..
Ellicott said the situation at
present was simply nuisance,
but if collections are not begun
soon it will create a health
menace.
Meanwhile, the sanitary COM
mission invited homecwners to

The OIL swimmin' hole is max
ing a last stand at Dickerson,
Md.
A 90-foot-deep quarry in a
bower of trees on the farm Of
o. w. Anderson is providing
swimming in the old-fashioned
way. People come from miles
around. More than 100 cars
were parked there on July 4. On
a normal week end between 200
and 800 persons plunge into the
quarry's waters.
And what they've stirred up
is quite controversy. It's not
the swimming the tiny Upper
Montgomery County community
population 300-minds SO
much. It's the parking.
The Dickerson Methodist
Church adjoinS the Anderson
farm and it's grounds have been
clogged with cars. So have the
yards of neighboring houses.
Drop Cans and Comment.
Roy w. Shank, postmaster at
Dickerson for Is years and a
member of the church board
there, said:
Gears parked all over our prop
erty and ruined the grass before
we put up a rope around it. Now
the parkers leave beer cans and
rubbish around the church. Dur
ing Sunday School hours they
come past dressed in almost
nothing and make remarks about
the church."
Reports of nude swimming and
wild revelry after dark at the
quarry also have Dickerson resi-
dents disturbed. Evidence Of
such bacchanalian activity can
be found around the church and
on the path to the swimming
hole.
Personally, I don't care what
goes on at the quarry as long as
the church people and local resi-
dents don't suffer for it." Mr..
Shank said. II figure any one
going down there knows what
he's getting into.
"But it's things they do to the
church that bothers us. Like
last week, some of. them came
into the church during a storm
and left the lights on all night"
Cleveland Smith, who has lived
all his 60 years in Dickerson, has
a place close to the church on
old Route %. He had to put
boards on his grass to keep peo-
pie from parking there.
Another Stands Guard.
j. F. Martin posted his land
with a sign reading mo parking
or turning" He still has to stand
guard on week ends to keep
people away.
Montgomery County police are
disturbed by the traffic hazard
created by parked cars on Route
%, which goes by the scene.
Police Chief Charles Orme feels
it is Mr.. Anderson's problem.

Fairfax Federation
Asks Broad Study Of
Water, Sewer Needs

Appointment Of a citizens
committee to study Fairfax
County water and sewer prob
lens and other matters of a nom
revenue nature has been recon-
mended to the county Board of
Supervisors by the Federation of
Citizens Associations.
The recommendation, made
last night, followed a talk by DR..
Homer Hoyt, an economic and
financial consultant who said en-
larged water and sewer facilities
are among the major needs of
the county.
DR.. Hoyt, who Is making an
economic and population survey
in Fairfax, earlier had told the
county board that lack of water
or sewer facilities has held up
development of large areas in
the county. Nonetheless, he pre-
dicted a county population of
300, 900 by 1880.
Suggested by Bayes.
Appointment of the Study
Committee was suggested by
Guy M. Bayes, an unsuccessful
candidate for the House of
Delegates in Tuesdays Demo-
cratic primary. Mr.. Bayes said
the. committee should make
recommendations for possible
legislative action before the next
session of the General Assem-
bly,.
A similar committee already
is studying revenue problems.
The federation also urged
early completion of county re-
districting. The federation, a
leader in the move to realign
the county magiSterial districts,
said final surveying has taken
too long since tentative plan
was announced last winter.
Awaits Boundary Survey.
John c Rust, chairman of the
redistricting commission, has
stated that final approval of
the plan awaits surveying of the
new district boundaries. The
new plan calls for seven dis
trictS instead of six.
The federation's resolution said
redistricting should be finished
in time to elect a seventh mem
Der to the county board at the
November election.
The group, meeting at AMMAN
dale School, also heard DR.. Hoyt
recommend that regional shop
ping centers and light industry
be encouraged to bolster the
tax system.

Democrats 10 Get
Precinct Officials
Plan in Montgomery

The Montgomery County DEM
ocratic Assembly is expected to
get a plan tonight for election
of officials in the IL newly Gre
ated precincts. .@
The assembly is slated to meet
at 8 pm. in the Richard Mont
gomery High School, Rockville.
Eleven resolutions will be pre-
sented to the assembly, the
party's grassroots political forum
and policy-making body.
Chief bone of contention ap-
pears to be the election Of pre-
cinct officials.
New Election Sought.
Opponents of the established
party leadership have sought a
new election in the So old pre-
cincts. Precinct officials were
elected last year for four-year
terms, and the insurgents want
them ousted with new elections
calling for two-year terms.
The advisory committee. which
acts on all resolutions presented
to the committee, will report out
a resolution approving the pres
ent setup and will point out that
a recall election can be forced in
any precinct by a petition signed
by Is per. cent of the registered
Democrats.
The State Central Committee
will meet tonight before the AS
sembly session and is>expected to
come forth with a plan for cleo
ton of the IL new precinct Of
f1cialS.
The plan is expected to pro-
vide that all present officials re-
main in Office. Where an official
finds himself in a new precinct
because of the splitup, he will
retain his post there.
Some Democrats have feared
the Central Committee will pro-
pose that officials In the new pre-
cincts be appointed.
The plan of the Central Com
mittee is seen as d move to re-
store harmony to the party
which has been bitterly split over
precinct organization.
If harmony is not restored
soon, a large segment of the as
sembly may pull out and begin
campaigning on four principal
issues.

Breakdown Set
In Takona Park
Rental Row
Arrests Ordered
OF Landlords Who
Fail to Poy Fees

The stage was set today for a
breakdown ON Takoma Park
apartment and rooming house
owners who have joined in a
mass defiance of a new city ord
nance requiring permit fees for
rented housing units.
The city council, in a special
meeting last night, directed Cor
poration Counsel Vincent L. Gin
gerich to take whatever steps are
necessary to enforce the ordl-
nance.
Mr.. Gingerich said today war;
rants will be served on violators
as they are discovered, and ar
rests will be. made if necessary.
He admitted it may be difficult
to track down the violators be-
cause the city no list of persons
who rent rooms and apartments.
Only ITO Register.
Only ITO landlords registered
and paid their inspection fee by
8 pm. Wednesday, the deadline
under the new ordinance passed
by the council in February.
Estimates of the number of
landlords in the city vary from
600 to 1900.
Under the controversial ordi-
nance, rooming house landlords
must pay an annual fee of from
S. to SIS, depending on the
number Of roomers they have.
Apartment owners must pay IS
for each family unit up to S,
and up to 10 and so cents apiece
for all units over 10.
The fee is supposed to finance
inspections by city agents to en-
force health and public safety
regulations.
Mayor Ross H. Beville pointed
out that the ordinance provides
a penalty of from $40 to $50 for
noncompliance and that each
day of noncompliance is a sep
arate offenSe.
'"This is not a threat" he add
ed. 1T is something that every
one should know"
Call 1t 'SnOOper Law
Unofficial leader of landlords
baking at the new ordinance,
which they have termed a
"snooper law" is Judge Millward
c. Taft of the Montgomery
County Orphans Court and a
former city, councilman.
Mayor Beville told reporters
last night that Judge Taft, as
an attorney, knows the proper
way to challenge an act which
he feels to be unconstitutional
or illegal" ~
THAT way obviously is by
appeal to the courts for relief"
the Mayor added. Defiance of
the elected representatives of
the people in my opinion is
improper"
Legality Of the new ordinance
was upheld in an opinion Mr..
Gingerich delivered to the coun-
Gil last night.
He said the Supreme Court
of the United States has held
that ordinarily municipalities
can regulate apartments. tene-
ments, rooming and other null
tiple dwelling houses with respect
to various projections, conven-
fences and comforts designed to
promote the welfare of those

IncineratOr Hours.
The commission arranged yes
terday for its Lyttonsville incin-
orator to operate seven days a
week, Z am. to IL pm, to handle
refuse brought in.
The incinerator, between Sill
yer Spring and Bethesda, is on
the old Brookeville = Tenleytown
road, less than one-half mile
west of the B. & o. railroad
tracks.
The commission hasn't decided
whether to refund a portion of
the fees it charges for collecting
trash. Commissioner L. S. CTeO
Ray said the matter would be
referred to the boards lawyer.
There has been speculation the
strikers, since they work for a
State body, could be enjoined
to return to their jobs. But Com
mission Chairman Raymond w.
Bellamy said he didn't think so.
The commissioners recognize a
mans right not to work. he
said.
The commissioners took time
off yesterday from their labor
troubles to get into a heated
discussion of air-cooling.
Question of Water.
The April Showers Co., Inc,

sprinklers on roofs. The sprink-
lers' spray evaporates and the
roof is cooled; likewise the floors
below it. But not in Montgomery
or Prince Georges Counties.
where the sanitary commission
operates.
Mr.. Shaw said the sprinklers
use II times more water than
the boards regulations permit
for air-conditiening. He said
April Showers would put too
heavy drain on the Sanitary
Districts reservoirs.
Leonard H. Holder, the firms
president, pointed out that car
wash places can use all the water
they want. So why not his firm?
We're being Disseminated
against" he declared.
Mr.. Shaw retorted that build
ings can be cooled other ways,
with less water. If we didn't
have these restrictions on air.

he said.
Reporters also had problems
at yesterdays meeting.

secretary-treasurer, kept them
waiting an hour and a half. All
he would say was that the COM

sion.

Mr.. Anderson, owner of the
farm and also the county agent,

the citizens, but he is philosophic
about it. .....

place to go in the country" he
says. LAS long as they don't

ming in the quarry.
LAS for the parking situation,
I don't think it's my problem.
It's not my job to police the
streets.
Chances to Sell.

people from coming there with
no treSpassing signs. I want
them to keep coming.
II have been offered $4,000
for the quarry and a right of
way to the street by business
men who wish to develop the
swimming commercially. But if
I sold it would divide my farm
and grazing land.
Nov, I'm close to retirement
age and may develop the place
myself. I believe I could make
more off the quarry than my
farm if I devoted full time to the
place.
Certainly, with these COM
mercial possibilities I'm not going
to close the place down."
The Dickerson residents agree
the police are doing all they can
to help and say it's up to Mr..
Anderson to find the remedy.
DickerSon people say four
policemen were on duty last
Sunday. But visitors clog side
roads when they find the main
ones blocked.
II don't understand the popu-
larity of this place" Chief Orme
says. Its cold, deep and rocky
you can't see where you're
diving. It doesn't appeal to me.
"AS long as it has created this
traffic hazard, it seems to me
Anderson would at least allow
people to park on his property.
That would solve the problem"
Mr.. Anderson has an answer
to this. too.
Liability Reasons.
my lawyer tells me would
be liable for damage in case of
an accident at the quarry, if I
allowed them to park on my
place." Mr.. Anderson explains.
He did put a wire across the
path leading into his farm after
receiving legal advice.
MY lawyer said this would
relieve me of liability if people
went over this fence to the
quarry and had an accident
there" Mr.. Anderson says. But
they cut the wire the day after
it was up"
Mr.. Smith recalls the old days
when the quarry was in use.
When I worked in the quarry
before it stopped IS years ago.

Slides" he says.
"They still have slides and
those cliffs are so steep a person
with a cramp couldn't get out
even if he reached the side.
See that cliff over there?"
Mr.. Smith pointed to a 6O-foot
high section. II saw two boys
dive off there the other day.
They looked like birds flying
through the air. There's no tell
ing what they might hit under
that water. You can't see more
than 3 feet down."
Mr.. Smith says the quarry
used two pumps to keep it dry
when in operation. A workman
keeping watch on the pumps
during holiday had too much
to drink and left the job. When
the work crew returned the
quarry was filled with water and
couldn't be drained.
The pool is about 800 yards
long and 200 yards across.
