Lame Duck Council
Adopts Rural zoning
Despite Sure Repeal
Defeated County Heads
Approve Plan, 50, on
Pleu by Mrs. Werner

The lame-duck Montgomery
County Council today adopted
the Upper County oZning ordi-
nance including a set of coming
maps which councilmen have
never seen.
The action brought a promise
from James r. Miller, attorney
for a group of rural landowners,
that he would Immediately pre-
pare a suit to block enforce
ment OF the ordinance.
The two-year ordinance class
ifies all land in the Upper Coun-
ty in six zones, provides for
amendments to the ordinance.
and bars any automatic expan-
sion of existing developments.
The vote on the ordinance
was 5 to 2 with Democrat Grow
er K. Walker and Republican
Louis A. Gravelle in opposition.
The only other Democrat on
the present council, Mrs. Stella
B. Werner, who Tuesday de-
feated Mr.. Grave1le in the coun-
Gil election, pleaded for passage
of the ordinance.
The action pressed by retir-
ing Republican members of the
council was taken despite public
promises of victorious Demo-
cratic candidates Charles Jami-
son, Robert Snure, Jerry Will
liams and Wilbur N. Baughman
that they would repeal it when
they take over.
Mrs. Werner, in supporting the
present draft, said she would in
itiate hearing on the maps be-
fore the law becomes effective
February /. No public hearing
has been held on the maps, al
though councilinen contend they
simply represent definition of
zones carried in the original
ordinance.

Although one veteran Demo-

whether his party would want

any such possibility.

From his Vienna (Ga.0 home
Senator George told The Star
in a telephone interview:

Senator Pastore, Democrat,
of Rhode Island told reporters,
"there is no doubt about it. We

Active Policy
In New House
232-203 Majority
Places Porty in
Strong Position
BY Robert K. Walsh

Democrats, winning the next
House 232 to 203, today began
mapping party policy and Or
ganization Of that branch while
promising to cooperate with
President Eisenhower on things
we think are in the interest Of
the American people"
Representative Sam Rayburl
of Texas, who again will take
the speakership he has held
longer than anyone else in his
tory, made clear that the Demo-
Gratis are determined to follow
up their election-day victory by
taking active management when
the new House meets January 8.
Their triumph, while not as
overwhelming as the results of
some previous mid-term change
overs in the House, gave a con-
vincing and comfortable margin.
On the basis of complete al
though not fully official returns
from last tuesdays voting, the
Democrats will have IA more
members than the 218 majority
necessary for command of the
House. They will have 90 more
members than the Republicans.
That will be II more than the
Democratic strength in the pres
ent House. The Republicans will
have II fewer than they have
now.
Captured 20 Seats.
Democrats achieved these
gains by wrestling seats cur
rently held by Republicans in
20 districts. These included
three each in Pennsylvania and
Illinois, two each in Missouri
and Michigan and one each in
Virginia, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia, Delaware, New York,
Massachusetts,, Ohio, Indiana,
Minnesota and California. They
also picked up an Ohio seat by
defeat of Representative Frazier
Reams, only Independent in the
present House.
Republicans offset some of
those advances by taking cur
rently Democratic-held seats in
Texas, Florida. Kansas, Ohio
and California. Representative
Robert L. Condor, Democrat,
who was refused Atomic Energy
Commission clearance to wit
ness bomb tests, was defeated by
Republican John r. Baldwin in
California.
Some reports that the Demo-
Gratis, despite their majority,
might consider letting the Re-
publicans organize the House in
event of a G. O. P. control in
the Senate were promptly
squelched by Mr.. Rayburn and
other Democratic leaders.

Insuring Treatment Of
All Mental Patients
New Legislation Would
Cover Involuntary Cases
At District General
By Miriam Gutenberg

The Commissioners will ask
Congress for legislation to insure
treatment for all mental patients
sent to District General Hospital,
Commissioner Samuel Spencer
said today.
The decision to get a new law
came after The Star revealed
that under a ruling from Corpor-
alton Counsel Vernon E. West
persons sent to the hospital for
mental observation were to be
examined but not treated.
Mr.. West ruled there was moth
ing in the present law to au-
thorize treatment of ''involun-
tary" patients. He made the
ruling when he was asked by
District General Hospital what
consent should be sought before
patients were given electro
shock therapy.
Will Seek Legislation.
Commissioner Spencer said to-
day the Commissioners had not
acted formally on the question
OF a new law but that he had
conferred with Commissioner
Renah Camalier and Mr.. West
and 1t was agreed that new legis-
lation would be sought to allie
viate the situation at District
General.
He said Mr.. West was now
working on how far the law
should go. So far, he said il
was clear that the proposed bill
could authorize hospital PSYCHE
artists to treat involuntary" pa
tlents who were in good enough
mental condition to give their
consent.-just as patients who
come to the hospital voluntarily
are being treated.
AS for those not sufficiently
rational to understand what is
going on, he said, there was a
question of who could give con-
sent for treatment. He pointed
out the patients would have no
legal guardian because they had
not been adjudged of unsound
mind.
Commissioner Spencer said
there would be further consulta-
ton with legal and medical au-
thorities to work that out.
According to the way Conn
missioner Spencer is thinking.
the psychiatrists would decide
whether the patient is sufficient
iy rational to give his consent.
Foresees No Trouble.
He said he expected no trouble
in getting the proposal through
Congress since its goal is to in
sure treatment for involuntary
as well as voluntary hospital
patients.
A law, he said, also would give
better protection to the physi-
clans in case Of damage suits.
Mr.. West said. after his ruling
became public. that he was at
tempting to protect the hospital
and its staff against suits.
I'VE want to be sure the
patients are properly served, ?"
Commissioner Spencer said.
Patients should be treated in
accordance with the best
medical practices and we think
legislation Is the best way to
assure it."
After Mr.. Vests ruling, the
hospital had complained that
legal questions were being put
ahead of medical ones. The
hospital emphasized that it Is
now in position to give trent
ment and Congress has au-
thorized construction of a new
psychiatric building designed as

Brunt Of Attack as
Candidates Speak

Two hours of rapid-fire give
and-take. some of it bitter, last
night brought to an end the
formal" campaigning of three
men and one woman for a single
seat on the five-man Arlington
County Board.
The meeting, held in the
Abingdon Elementary School,
North Harrington, was the last
in series of six programs spon-
sored by the Arlington Commit
tee for Candidates Meetings.
Vying for the single board seat
are: Mrs. Leone B., Buchholz.
incumbent, Arlington Indepen-
dent Movement; Brian Bell, jr.,
Democrat; Ivan A. Booker, Town
Meeting candidate, and Daniel A..
Dugan, Independent.
Three Fuses for Fireworks.
The Arlington Chamber of
Commerce, an auto dealers letter
and the county's registration sys-
tenn provided the spark for the
evenings fireworks.
The first blast came when Mr..
Bell and Mr.. Booker labeled as
improper and an act of sub
sidization" a recent decision by
the board, presided over by Mrs.
Buchholz, giving 5000 to the
chamber of commerce for prep
aration and distribution of an
attractions" brochure about the
county. Mr.. Dugan agreed.
The three men, while they
differed greatly on other points,
also took issue with a letter sent
to county businessmen by Auto
Dealer Robert Peck, a member
of the board and a supporter Of
Mrs. Buchholz.
In part, the letter said, "Your
vote, the vote of your friends
and< employees are necessary.
Let's work together : and elect
Leone B. Buchholz."
The three men interpreted
this last night as 'an invitation
for employers to pressure their
employees to vote the right way
Mrs. Buchholz's way"
Mrs. Buchholz said she would
stand on her record as a MEM
ber of the board for the last
% months.
Mrs. Buchholz also defended
her tie-breaking vote which
brought an end to the county's
precinct-level voter : registration
system. Registrants are now re-
quired to fill out all forms at
the County Court House.
Mr.. Bell called for the return
OF registration on q precinct
level. Mr.. Booker and Mr.. Dugan
support a plan to return to the
precinct level with moderniza-
tions."
