WASHINGTON LETTER
The Four Year Itch

Talks of substantial tax cuts
from Congressional leaders of both
parties have thrown into sharp re-
lief the facts that, two-and-a-half
years after Inauguration, the Eisen-
hover promise of a balanced bud
get has not been realized, the
sprawling Federal bureaucracy has
not been noticeably whitfield down,
nor Government extravaganza cur
tailed.
Since these pre-election-year
near-promises of tax relief, Trea-
sury Secretary George NJ Hum
phrey has launched an economy
drive in all Government depart
ments and bureaus, and the Defense
Department has indicated ii might
spend a billion dollars less than
previously estimated during the
current fiscal year, AS a result, Mr.
Humphrey now expects to balance
the budget during the next ten
months-provided tax receipts con-
tinue rising. Cautious on the sub
ject of tax-cutS, the Secretary is
said to feel thai if he can bend
downward that rising curve of
Government spending, and if more
and more tax dollars keep rolling
info the treasury, there might he
a basis for campaign promises in
this direction.

Georgetown Kiwanis
Hears Md. Teacher

m frightened of what will hap
pen tomorrow without minds train
ed for research. DR.. A. L. Fleming,
of State Teachers College at Sal
isbury, told the Kiwanis Club al
its meeting in Grace Church Hall,
Georgetown, Tuesday night.
He explained that many of those
trained TO teach future research
workers in mathematics, chemistry
and physics. have been absorbed by
private industry leaving a meager
supply Of teachers TO prepare for
the future.
AS one example, he used the
subject of oceanology, stating that
the ocean offers the greatest
source of energy and resources but
only a scattered few know enough
about il to conduct research.
Among other things, the speaker
said that the present tendency to
make everyone alike takes all the
personality out of them" He set
forth that present day sales man
ayers want all their salesner to
say the same thing and that any
one who develops individuality is
apt to be labeled queer"
He said that the present tenden-
cy is to make extroverts out of ey-
eryone whereas introyerts are need
ed for research. AS an example, he
told how Edison would shut him
self up entirely alone for day at a
time with perhaps Only a stale
sandwich for food
He urged freedom for research
ers to learn the truth and said that
had Germany not restricted Elm
stein, that country would have
cracked the atom before the United
States.
The Kiwanis meeting was deyot-
ed to educational subjects, with
James Proudfoot as chairman of
the program.
Guests of honor, introduced by
Mr.. Proudfoot were six Of the new
teachers of the Georgetown School:
Mr.. and Mrs. Curtis G. (Buck)
Thompson, Mr.. and Mrs. Donald
Robertson, Mrs. Elsie M. Truitt and
Miss Elizabeth Hill
An ovation was given Miss Joyce
Conaway, who accompanied the
clubs. singing for several years,
but is leaving to attend Goucher
College.
n. Eugene Campbell, president,
presided. Group singing was led
by Ralph S. Baker.
1t was announced that the next
meeting will be father and son

TELLS OF TREP-Miss Jean Nit
ten of Dover, who recently return
ed from a three months trip to Eu-
rope where she visited nine differ
ent countries told Dover Rotary
Club members at their meeting in
the Dinner Bell Inn this week some
of her experiences at the World
Council of Churches work camp in
Maubeuge, France, and in attend
ing the centennial YMCA and
YWCA conference held in Paris
with over $4,000 young men and
women delegates representing
many nations throughout the world
In connection with her travelog
talk Miss Mitten showed a number
of colored slides of pictures which
were taken of the various places
visited, with particular reference to
the work camp where she perform
ed actual manual labor along with
thirty students from other cOun-
tries in rebuilding, restoring and
cleaning up the camp which has
been in existence fer a number of
years. Many of the work projects
which were done by these students
perhaps would never have been ac-
complished otherwise as the World
Geuncil of Churches does not have
the necessary funds for all the re-
construction needed, so the stu
dents who participated in this type
of work feel that they materially
contributed much toward making
this work camp more desirable
place in which to live
Pictures were shown also of an
old famous retreat in Switzerland
where members of the student
group were given a course in ori-
entation and instruction prepara-
tory to their going to the work
camp, and it was at this retreat
that they received added inspira-
ton to perform the tasks which
would be required of them in this
worthwhile project and Christian
service to mankind.
Another interesting place visited
was Salisbury, Austria, where Miss
Mitten spent several days with Miss
Winifred Piper of Smyrna, who is
engaged in foreign service secre-
tarial work in that city. Miss Pip
er's father, Leroy P. Piper, is a
member of the Smyrna Rotary Club
and was a visitor at this weeks
meeting of the Dover Rotary Club
as the guest of William B. Mitten,
Sr. Other visitors were William
Thompson of the Middletown Club,
and Russell w Whitby and w Ril-
ey Brown of the Camden Wyoming
Club.
Miss Mitten was presented to the
club by Jack Smyth, chairman of
the program committee and the
response was given by William P.
who expressed the ap-
probation of the Rotarians for this
splendid talk and the manner in
which it was presented. Club sing
ing was led by John S. Charlton
with piano accompaniment by Mrs.
George ID. Tebo.
President Emanuel Barros an
nounced that the Rotary Club is
responding to the letter which was
received recently from the Rotary
Club of Putnam. Conn, asking for
financial help in restoring that
town which was so severely dam
aged by foods a few weeks ago.

Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-09-29

To meet the, overflow hospital
load of war-jammed Washington,
Bethesda's Suburban Hospital op-
ened on Dec. 10, 1913. Now, to
meet the hospital load of rapidly
expanding Montgomery County,
Suburban is building a new IS
bed, $1,500,000 wing.
On April 10, 1912, The Bethes-
da- Chevy Chase Branch of the
Public Health Lay Committee, un-
der the presidency of Mrs. Ran
dolpf G. Bishop, Chevy Chase, in
vited organizations and individu-
ais to meet with County officials
to discuss a community hospital
So generous was the financial
support of Montgomery COun-
ty that in April, 1913, Mrs.
Bishop turned the first spade
of dirt at the hospitals Old
Georgetown Rd. site. Eight
months later Suburban accept
ed its first patients, Mr.. and
Mrs. S. Peter Wagner, Rock
vile, suffering from influenza.
That first 100-bed building was
stated by two resident physi
clans, three senior medical stu
dents, II nurses, four practical
nurses, and 10 staff physicians
Adult admissions in 1914 totaled
2,137. They had more than dou
bled by 1854, when 1888 entered
Suburban. 1944s 400 births leap
ed to 1,090 last year. 1908 opera
tons last year are contrasted
with S21 in the hospitals first
year.
It's no wonder the hospitals
bed capacity has been forced uI
by placing patients on porches
and in halls. The staff has eX
banded in ten years to include
three resident physicians: DR., Ar
turo Monteiro, Philippine Islands
DR.. Mako Asakuro, Japan, anC
DR.. Ernst Bremen, Germany
four interns, 80 nurses, $50 staff
doctors, and a full compliment OF
orderlies, nurses aids, and reg
istered nurses.
Earlier this year Suburban Hos
pital welcomed its 50,000th pa
tent, Elliot Eccard, Bethesda
The hospital has cared for many
famous patients, including news
caster Walter Conkite, anC
Treasury Secretary Julian.

Young in Years, Suburban
Hospital Grows with Needs

Rockville Potomac area, Silver
Spring, and> the Bethesda-C Chevy
Chase area each supply about
one quarter of Suburban'S pa
tents, with the remainder coming
from other parts of the county
and the District of Columbia.
Randolph G. Bishop was first
president of the non-profit SUI
burban Hospital Association. Sue
ceeding presidents have been Will
liam N. Morell, Bethesda, Arthur
Lambert, Chevy Chase, John A.
Selby, Rockville, Francis w, Hill,
KenWood, Major Paul Banfield,
Landon School, and the present
Carroll Morgan, Chevy Chase.
On July IS, this year, ground
was broken for a new four-story
completely aforementioned wing
which will bring Suburban's bed
capacity to 200. The new addition
will contain five operating rooms,
a chapel, a pharmacy, and many
private and semi-private rooms.
Federal Hill-Burton funds will
pay one-third of the $1,500,000
construction and equipping cost.
Community contributions of
$450,000 plus existing hospital re-
serves and borrowing will pay
the remainder.

more crimes are committed
by young people today than 20
years ago." says Judge Charles
w. Woodward, who retired this
April after almost % years as
judge of Montgomery County
Circuit Court.
Judge Woodward attributes
this fact to the opinion among
some young people that the
world owes them a living, and
they should not have to work
for it. He says not more than
one in 100 theft cases is commit
ted by a person who steals be-
cause he needs the money.
This rise in youthful crime,
the ex-jurist says, is found in all
classes of society.
Judge Woodward has ruled
on thousands of cases since he
took office i'm October, 1882.
One that made nationwide
headlines was the trial of sew
eral gangsterS who killed
newspaper delivery man in Ia
Nom" Park
The gangsters were hired to
murder a Washington gambler
who lived in Takoma, but as they
. hid in his driveway they mistook
the delivery man for their prey
and shot him to death. Two of
the killers asked to be tried in
Hagerstown, and the one tried
in Judge WoodWard's court was
sentenced to life imprisonment.
Shortly after his conviction, in
the middle 30's, he hung himself
in prison.
Another case Judge Woodward
recalls as a prime news item of
the day was that of a 14.year-old
boy who killed his father, moth
er and sister He also got life
term.
Judge Woodward was directly
involved in one of the nations
most famous contempt of court
cases. In 1886, a Rockville wo-
man was accused of conspiring
to murder her husband. The two
men charged with the actual muir
der requested a trial without
NY while the woman asked for
a jury trial.
Judge Woodward and Judges
Arthur Willard and Hammond
Urner heard the killers case be.
fore the woman's trial. After
the case had been heard, they re
tired to Judge Woodwards office
to decide on a verdict.
The three judges decided that
the men were guilty, but that
they would not announce the YER
dict until the woman's trial was
over so as not to prejudice the
jurors against her.
That night, the Washington
Times came out with the story
of their verdict, including quoted
remarks made by the jurors at
their closed session
