A lease option for tenth Mont
gomery County dispensary was
approved Tuesday by the County
Council.
But Council members had to
oncede that they didn't know the
ermS of the lease.
The dispensary site, owned by
Four Corners Democrat Chester
Keller, is in the Woodmoor Shop
ping Center. 1t has been over
whelmingly opposed at public
hearings by Woodmoor residents.
The decision to go ahead with
he option, which expired Tuesday
was by a 4 to 2 vote with Stella B.
Werner and j. Grahame Walker
n the minority. Jerry T. Williams
abstained from voting.
A heated exchange climaxed
he Council vote in which Mrs.
Werner asked Snure if he had
made a prediction commitment
o Keller and Willard Morris, Four
Corners clothier, to seek the dis
pensary.
Snure angrily denied making
any deals on the dispensary.
In other developments the Coun.
Ill was told that the Prince
Georges portion of Route 1885
long awaited face lifting will get
top priority from the Maryland
State Roads Commission.

20 Years After 'Nngfish' Reign

files and most of Huey's lieutenants
long since dead or scattered into
anonymity, the dynasty that he
founded lives on. 1t lacks the burn
ing dedication Of the Kingfish's
day. and the platforms sometimes
bear no resemblance to those of the
slap-dash Huey. but it is there.
Brother Earl, one-time Q948-
1882 Governor Of the State, is on
the comeback trail. aiming for
second term in the Governors chair.
DR.. George Long, for many years
a Pineville dentist, now serves as
Congressman from the 9th
Louisiana congressional district.
julius, a third brother, is a
Shreveport attorney and keeps well
out of the limelight, even as he
did when Huey was In his prime.
And Russell, eldest son Of the
Kingfish. has followed his fathers
footsteps into the Senate. But the
likeness ends right there. A study
OF Senate roll calls reveals that
Senator Russell Long. more likely
than not. prefers to take a stand
at variance with the stand his
father might have been expected
to take. Even Huey's foes concede
that Russell is an apt lawmaker.
Huey's widow also lives quietly
in Shreveport His daughter. Mrs.
Rose Mcfarland, and q second
son, Palmer Reid Long, all OF
Shreveport. have rarely been in the
news since the 1930s.
Up From Poverty
The Kingfish was born in poverty
to sharecropper parents in Winn-
field in 1893. He ran his life like
a runaway locomotive He was
successful travelling salesman at
the age OF II. At 20 he went
through q three-year Tulane law
course in seven months. He leaped

Long made the governorship on
the rebound four years later and
easily won election to the Senate
In 1880.
In Washington. the ousle-haired.
Tapping Long made many
enemies. and quickly. It was not
uncommon for as many as a dozen
Senators to arise and leave the
chamber whenever he stood up to
uncork a salty speech. which he
did at every opportunity.
Despite his smoke and his roar
ing. he had little influence over
legislation. He sponsored no inn
portant bills.
Grip on louisiono
But though Huey Long stormed
and thundered through the Senate
for many months. he never relaxed
a close grip on Louisiana. It was
this. in the end. that brought about
his assassination.
Home from the Senate in the
summer Of 1885, Huey had Gov.
Allen summon the special session
of the Legislature and began ram

signed to strengthen his hold on
the State and eliminate foes in

It seems inevitable that improvements In control

The projected $500 million pro-

in the flve-State area, no matter
what the cause Of the high water.
But hurricanes probably present
o special problem which win require
extra spending. Gen. Sturgis thinks
o careful study might find that
q 50 per cent increase In the scope
Of the New England fiood-control
program may be needed.
He emphasized, however. that he
could not be sure until some stud
les are completed.
After Hurricane Hazel last year
Congress appropriated 81 million
for q Corps Of Engineers-Weather
Bureau study Of hurricanes. The
Weather Bureau is studying the
nature OF Observation-Disclosures
whether a new normal" path
through the Eastern Seaboard has
been established In recent years.
The engineers are investigating
methods Of preventing wind. wave
and tide damage along the coasts.
During other hurricanes which
hit the Atlantic Coast during recent
years. most Of the damage was con-
fined to the coastal areas. High
tides and mountainous waves un-
der1nined buildings. The wind top
pied them into the water.
The Engineers saw the problem
as one Of protecting the beach
areas-diverting the force Of the
wind-swept waters.
New Problem ..
Diane raises a new problem. how
ever. She dropped huge amounts
of rain over inland areas. Wind
damage was negligible. Coastal
areas suffered little. Even the
shape Of the storm was unique in
the 50-year records Of the Weather
Bureau. A rough oval on q north
south axis has always outlined the
rain area In normal" severe storms
in the New England area. Flood
control projects have been based
on that pattern.
Diane. however. dropped her
rains in west-to-east oval pattern.
Will this require . revision IN
fiood-control plans?
Obviously the hurricane study
will have to be expanded. And the
Corps of Engineers will have to
broaden its phase of the inquiry.
for water damage clearly can Grip
pie more than the coastal areas

Or perhaps the Diane pattern
cannot be expected to occur again
In hundred years. That's UP to
the Weather Bureau to figure out.

A different limit which might
work is the ionosphere. Since the
guided missile and other controlled
but unnamed craft are dependent
on electronics, which in turn are
dependent on the ionisphere. it may
be that q control" doctrine limited
to the outer reaches of the
ionosphere (about $50 niles would
be a reasonable compromise.
Interestingly enough, officials in
our Government, including those in
the State Department most con-
cerned with territorial rights. seem
disinclined to speculate on this
question. Even personal opinions
appear taboo.
When and how will the freedom
Of near-space be determined?
No one can say, Of course. His
torically, law follows the fact; it
does not evolve until there is con-
fiict.
This means that II people be-
lieve the scheduled moons" e and
subsequent space stations have no
function other than experiment and
scientific advance, space law will
develop more slowly than if they
think there is danger in such satel-
lites.
The demand for legal or political
control of the Antarctic today, for
example, is not very great although
five or six nations are conducting
explorations there. The reason is
that there has not been conflict nor
any apparent danger resulting from
these activities.
But, for the record. it should be
noted that people today are apt to
be touchy about foreign objects
