Group Pushes
For Additional
Wards
Would Bar Funds
To Hospitals Lacking
Psychiutric Core

Legislation to bar use Of Hill-
Burton funds for general hos
pitfalls that do not include psy-
|chiatric wards win be sought by
the Foundation for Community
Aid to Mental Patients.
Miss Freida Reicher, president
of the foundation organized IL
months ago in Northern Virginia,
said Congress would be asked to
set up new standards for distri-
button Of HILL Burton funds, re-
quiring general hospitals to pro-
vide for care Of mental patients
before they can qualify for Fed
eraI aid.
Trustees of the foundation
adopted D resolution in June
recommending the new Hill
Burton standard, said Miss Rel
cher. she plans to submit the
request 10 Virginia Senators and
Representative for consideration
lat the next session Of Congress.
Urges APA Standards
The foundation believes stand
ards approved by the American
Psychiatric Association should
be followed In drafting q mental
ward requirement for Hill Burton
funds. said Miss Reicher.
An article published in The
Star ON Sunday told how mental
patients In Northern Virginia
often are jailed because no hos
pital in the area has . PSYCHE
atric ward and State mental In
stitutions are far away. 1t also
was pointed out that some doc
tors believe many mental cases
could be cured without being
committed to State mental In
|stitutions II they could be treated
|first in q general hospital psy-
|chiatric ward.
The whole trend Of thought
in the country today Is for de-
naturalization Of big mental
hospitals" said Miss Reicher.
MANY times people can be
treated and cured without being
ruled insane and put in an
asylum"
She commented that the
George Washington University
Hospital psychiatric unit treats
mentally sick people and often
cures them without sending them
ION to mental institutions.

against Or. Norris rather than
against the School Board "since
the board appears to have abro-
gated its authority to Or. Norris

wood sat tight-lipped during the
school board session.
Lists Four Reasons
The school superintendent said
his decision to transfer Negro
students from the now-closed
Linden, River Road. Takoma and
ken Gar Negro Schools to Nc
Kenney Hills. Woodlin and Roll
lingwood Schools was based on
the following four considerations:
1. The welfare Of all the chill
dren.
2. The caliber Of the total in
lstruction program In all the
schools affected.
8. The disturbing Of rs few
children as possible by the
transfer.
4. The establishment Of per-
Imanent school. areas "as soon rs
possible"
He answered critics who have
Noted that Lyttonsville Is . miles
from the Rollingwood School and
thus would require school bus
service by pointing out that
Rosemary Hills children are
transported to the Rock Greek
Elementary School because Ct
the hazards Of East-West High
way. Children from Lyttonsville,
he said. would have merited the
same transportation.
Rejects Rock Greek Plan
To those who have said that
1.-THE Linden pupils should be
transferred to the Rock Greek
Elementary School. since it is
closer to the Lyttonsville area
than Rollingwood. and that Rock
Greeks excess Of white children
could then be handled by Roll
Iingwood. Or. Norris gave an en-
Iphatic no."
He said that had such q trans
fer been made. Rock Greek
would have faced q three-fold
problem Of having some Of its
children temporarily housed ct
Rollingwood, q need for others
TO remain on double sessions,
and the introduction Of the
problem Of integration while on
double sessions.
After the reading of DR.. Nor
| ris' report, the School Board
president, Willard G.. McGraw,
told the Rollingwood group and
b small delegation from Lyttons-
vile that the length Of the eve
ning's agenda required that no
discussion be heard.
The Rollingwood group de-
parted as the School Board went
on to discuss other business.

Lovely, vivacious Grace Car
ney. wife of retiring Chief of
Naval Operations. probably is
weary of questions about their
future plans.
However, she gave a tanta-
lizing answer in response to
this query last night at the
huge reception given for the
Carneys by the Secretary of
the Navy and Mrs. Thomas at
the Chevy Chase Club.
The winds are blowing to-
ward Washington" she said,
but like Hurricane Connie, we
can't be too sure just yet what
course the winds will take"
While it would take some
real sleuthing to figure just
what that means, at least it
indicates that the Carneys
may not be gone permanent
ly from the Capital.
Memorable Party
Meanwhile, the round of
farewell parties is still going
strong and last nights recep-
ton was a memorable high
light in this two-month ses-
sion of fetes for the Carneys.
The. Thomases received with
the Carneys in the large center
room of the club. Behind them
were the United States flag
and the flags of the Navy,
Marine Corps, Chief of Naval
Operations and Secretary of
the Navy, banked with baskets
of yellow and blue flowers and
large ferns.
Outside, overlooking the
rolling golf course. guests
flocked under the marquee.
where a sumptuous buffet.
similar to one inside, had been
prepared. A group from the
Navy Band provided music.
VIP Treatment
The Thomases certainly
know how to make their guests
feel like VIPs. AS each per-
son entered. no matter what
their rank, two smartly dressed
Marines clicked their heels
and the clatter was loud
enough to make a person feel
he was getting the equivalent
of a 21-gun salute!
Gen. and Mrs. Ridgway
were among the early arrivals
she looking as chic as ever
in a pale green and rose
watered silk by Cell Chapman,
but people did a doubletake
when they saw the General in
civilian clothes. The Ridg-
ways leave this month for
their new home in Pittsburgh.

drizzle all evening. Rear Ad-
miral Robert Dennison said it

MIDDLEBURG. Va. Aug.
11.-This afternoon at 4
o'clock, Connie permitting, the
Foxcroft Pony Club is holding
its annual show, ciimaxing the
almost two months of concen-
trated teaching under the ex-
pert Workmanship of Mrs. II.
Thompson Woodland and Mrs.
Whitfield Bidstrup. There is
something in store for the par
ents, or at least the one parent
that each child has been asked
to provide, but its a secret that
even the chattieSt little girls
have kept under their black
velvet hunting caps. There
will be more later on this
touchy and deep subject.
In years past, when the ad-
vanced classes were still lead
liners, Miss Charlotte Noiand,
headmistress of Foxcroft, en-
tertained the parents and chill
dren after the show. Last year
and the year before, parents
took over the catering chores
at a picnic held on the rocks >
in back of the school grounds,
but today Mrs. Woodland is
giving the party on her own,
with parents contributing only
their own special brand.
After the tense moments en-
dured while their young out
run one another in relay races,
jump bareback without losing
a penny placed between knee
and pony, and vie for horse
manship ribbons. the rocks
will seem soft and coy.
Now For Vacation
With the closing of the pony
club, the remaining families,
here held in town with a tight
rein by their adamant young
sters who prefer the brush
jumps at Foxcraft to Bailey's
Beach. will feel free to take
off. Those who follow the big
time horse show circuit will
have three in a row to keep
them busy. The Glenmore Hunt
Club is holding it's annual
show tomorrow and Saturday
down at Staunton, followed by
the Bath County Horse and
Pony Show at Hot Springs,
Va. n August 10 and 20 and
the Warrenton Horse Show on
September 3, 4 and S.

added this year among these

 It was the heaviest rainfall for August in the past seven years, at least, according to figures compiled by local weather observer Art NeI- son. The nearest, was 1949 with 6.21 inches.
 Last year, the first IS days of August must have produced some thing of drought with only 1.62 inches while the first IS days of August in 1853 totaIed 5.11 inches
 The first Is August days of 1852 there were 2.2S inches; 1851. 341 inches, and 1850, 2.S7 inches.
 The adding machine says that the first IS days of August this year has produced approximately half the total rainfall here as the first IS days of August for the combined years of 1850 to 1854 inclusive - five years.
