Clinic Plan May Chart Future

and will front on busy Wisconsin
avenue.
Opening Wedge Feared.
Mrs. O'Brien and hundreds like
her feel the clinic is the opening
wedge for extending present
commercialization at the District
line all the way to Bradley boule-
ward and the Bethesda shopping
center. That is the real issue,
she says.
Mr.. Chamberlin says this is
not so. But he frankly feels that
Wisconsin avenue will never be
developed as residential property
Besides. he says. there hasn't
been a home built on the thor
oughfare in the last Is years
that was not used as a tourist
home or doctors Office.
"The clinic we are planning to
build would be only about IS
feet longer than some of these
doctors combination homes and
Offices" he said.
Somerset and Chevy Chase
Village residents feel the clinic
will depreciate property values
and create a nuisance by adding
to the present traffic confusion
at the intersection. Mrs. O'Brien
said the clinics downtown Of
fees now serve ITO persons a
day.
Tempers Flare.
Last Friday night, residents
of the Wisconsin avenue commu-
mites had a joint meeting with
Mr.. Chamberlin and DR.. Yater.
Tempers f1ared as questions flew
at the two men.
Then on Monday night, the
Chevy Chase Village board of
management officially voted to
oppose the requested zoning ex-
ception.
Meanwhile, the Somerset
council had sent night letters
to all officials of the Yater
Clinic and special letter to DR..
Yater, explaining it's opposition.
The council emphasized it has
no bone to pick with the famed
clinic, as such.
But it said 1t would refuse
to issue a building permit for
construction of the clinic on the
tract which lies within Solner-
sets boundaries.
Somerset Regulations Sitter.
Somerset has it's own building
regulations, much sitter than
those of the county. The council
says its powers, granted by the
General Assembly in 1905 allow
it to withhold building per-
mitS if the towns standards are
not met.
DR.. Yater would like to move
into the proposed clinic, but he
said yesterday he is reserving the
right to decide what he will do
until after the hearing tomorrow.
A representative of the clinic
will attend the session to explain
the clinics function, but he will
not be authorized to speak other
wise, DR. .Yater added.

patients and big parking lot,
looks like the answer, he added.

Residents say he now is trying
to get in the back door to gain
the same objective.
I'VE don't like this constant
harassment," said Mrs. Joseph
OBrien, member of the Somer-
set council.
The clinic building would be
a modern 105-by-52-foot stone
and brick structure. with a
driveway in front. An 88-car
parking lot would be put in the
rear of the building.
The building would be on a
44,111-square-foot piece of land.
A 5h-foot brick wall would
border the tract along Dorset
avenue and to the rear of the
building.
Mrs. O'Brien pointed out that
ground already has been broken
for a new medical clinic at
Military road and Western ave-
nue. NV. just off Wisconsin
avenue. This out-patient clinic
with 16 doctors pooling their
talents is expected to cost about
$500.000.

Mr.. Chamberlin developed the

the older community of Somerset.
He also developed the adjoining
Kenwood Golf and Country Club.

Chamberlin said.
DR.. Wallace M. Yater, head of
the clinic bearing his name, feels
his operation would be "protec-

unwanted commercial intrusion.

Charleston's Eminent Critic
And RefOrmer

Moses. Their son Isaac's classic
education quietly manifested the
resurging bent in Americas new
ly adjusted Jewry; the pursuit of
knowledge as preferable to mon
ey-making.
Isaac Hardy was a born writer.
At II, he showed the talent of a
youthful prodigy in composing a
tragedy of five acts. Years later
another play, ALBERT" was con-
sidered good enough for enter
tanning President Monroe on a
visit to Charleston. But play
writing could hardly support the
large families reared in the re-
public's early days. His family
budget had to be supplemented
with the income of a private
school. Hardy offered to slave
owners sons arithmetic, penman-
ship, grammar, elocution, geogra-
phy-and to more advanced stu
dents Latin, Greek, geometry and
composition.
However, the urge for creative
writing prompted Hardy to reject
the rewards of School-teaching.
Instead, he became the publisher
or editor of several newspapers
in Charleston. His political editor
ials attracted attention for their
fearlessness, patriotism and grasp
Of public affairs.
AS a critic, he would have made
a great contribution to the Amer
lean letters of his day had his
span. of life lasted longer than
40 years. Observations on drama,
acting, Shakespeare, actors and
the production of plays show his
keen insight of dramatic values.
During brilliant literary period,
when Bryon, Shelly, Keats, Scott,
Wordsworth and Coleridge dom
mated the English constellation,
Isaac Hardy was heralded by
London Times as the finest dram
attic critic in America.
Yet Harby'S fame rests on his
attempt to reform American Jud-
aism. There being no ordained
rabbis in the U. S., few knew
sufficient Hebrew to understand
the weekly portion of the Torah.

By HARRY s1MoNHoFF

In the 18th century's first quar-
ter, Charleston contained the
largest and best integrated Jew
iSh community in America. The
reasons are not too obscure. The
port of rich hinterland, this city
enjoyed prosperity. But it also
had a tradition of religious toler-
ance that attracted Huguenots
from France and non-conformists
from the British Isles and posses
Sions.
Jews began to infiltrate and by
1850 Kahal Kodesh Beth Elohim
was formed. By the War Of 1918,
the majority were native born
and had absorbed English culture
and American folkways.
The most gifted in the COM
munity was Isaac Hardy, whose
grandfather had served the "Em-
peror" of Morocco. A sultan's
palace is seldom free Of intrigue
and Harby's ancestor found it ex-
pedient to leave quite suddenly
or else be garroted. He fled to
England and married a young
woman from Italy. Their son,
Solomon Hardy, decided on going
to the new world and landed in
Jamaica while the American
Revolution was still on. In 1871
Solomon managed to reach
Charleston and married Rebecca

On November 81, 1924, the petit
TONERS organized the first Re-
form Society of Israelites on the
American continent.
The discourse of Isaac Hardy
at the Reform Society's anniver-
sary attracted wide attention and
drew letters of praise from such
eminent personalities as Chancel-
lor Edward Livingston and Thorn
as Jefferson. But at home he was
subject to the usual animosities
that pursue any religious reform
er. After his wife's death, he for
sock Charleston, moved his nine
children to New York and again
opened a school. His prestige as
a critic was mounting daily when
he suddenly died just after his
