CountyFarnl

Rockville's Mayor and Coun-
Gil last night heard a proposal
that the city acquire the now
idle Montgomery County Poor
Farm on Seven Locks road.
The Rockville Board Of Trade
urged the council to request
Montgomery County to reserve
the 125-acre farm for eventual
development by the city as a
"recreational. educational and
health center" A plan pre-
sented by Ralph w. Baxter,
executive secretary of the Board
Of Trade. calls for a hospital, an
amphitheater, a swimming pool
and play areas.
The Board Of Trade proposal
would put the city in COMPETE
ton with three county agencies
which have shown an active in
terest in using the farm. 1t is
partly within the corporate
limits Of Rockville.
Montgomery County civil de-
tense director, retired Rear Ad-
miral Roy Hartwig, wants to use
it as an airstrip for the civil air
patrol. The Montgomery Coun-
ty Recreation Department wants
it for a recreation area. The
County Board of Education has
expressed interest in the farm
as q school site.
And another possible contend
er showed up at the council
meeting last night. Col. Robert
Bard who admitted he "has an
eye" on the poor farm for the
Rockville armory he asked the
council to help obtain.
The Rockville Council took
both the Board of Trade and
armory requests under advise
ment but promised a decision
this month.

ANNAPOLIS. April 6.-The

all-Democratic Montgomery del
egation went through the Legis-
lature with little difficulty.

ton, not only reorganized the
bi-county Planning and Sanitary
Commissions but also revamped
their operations.

minute bill extending the COM
missions jurisdiction through
the county. excluding Rockville,
Gaithersburg and Washington
Grove.
The delegation provided that
areas annexed by the towns
will be excluded, but put in a
clause to insure that the extern
sion will not be killed If this
latter provision is in conflict
with the municipal home rule
bill enacted here Monday.
Under other bills enacted, the
planning commission also will be
permitted to buy freeway rights
Of way and school sites out of
a revolving fund of surplus
monies and to acquire parkland
outside the park district.

Steal Patronage
From MckeIdin
l8 Top Posts Won
For Prince Georges
And Montgomery
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. April 6.-New
legislators from Montgomery and
Prince Georges counties took
home at least Is new major ap-
pointments for their 80 days
works here at the Maryland
General Assembly.
Most were taken at the expense
of Republican Gov. McKeldin,
VINO already has acquiesced in
several of the measures stripping
him Of patronage appointments
in the two counties.
Chief among these was the
reorganization Of the Maryland.
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission, long a target
Of Republicans.
Governing bodies in the two
counties for the first time will
select three members each to
the commission for appointment
by the Governor. Both governing
bodies now are Democratic.
Anti Ripper Feature.
The legislators tossed in a
provision that two present Re-
publican members of the COM
mission will serve out their
terms-to end in May. 1957-so
that the legislation could not be
tagged as a ripper bill"
The new commission is slated
to be named May when pres
ent terms of four incumbents ex-
pire.
That is the case If the Gov
ernor decides to sign the bill.
Most delegates feel it is a toss
up as to what action he will
take.
Last minute delays in passage
Of the bill resulted in giving the
Governor power to veto the
measure without the Assembly
having a chance to override such
action before next February,
when it reconvenes.
The new commissioners will
get 5000 a year, and a chairman
and vice chairman will receive
$4,000 each annually.
Former Republican delegations
from Montgomery sought unsuc-
cessfully to abolish the commits
sion but always were slapped
down on the ripper legislation
by the Democratic majorities
here.
Sanitary Agency Bill Signed
The Governor already has
signed into law the reorganiza-
ton Of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission.
The Governor retains two Of
the three members he now
selects.
The new commissioners also
will receive $500 annually with
the chairman slated to $4,000
and the vice chairman. $4,000.
Under this law. the Democrats
also are expected to I'LL new
posts of secretary and treasurer.
Indications are that the present
Republican Secretary Treasurer
James B. Parkhill will be ousted
in the job split.
The Montgomery delegation
also brought about County
Council appointment of three
judges for the newly created
Peoples Court.
The court June Is will sup
plant the present trial magistrate
system which Gov. McKeldin
described as outmoded in signing
the measure into law.
The new judges-to be named
for eight year terms-will get
$40, 000s "a year. Juvenile Court
Judge Alfred D. Moves, q Demo-
crat, is certain to be one of the
new appointees to handle juve-
nile cases.
The Governor also has on
his desk an emergency measure
that would give Prince Georges
Democrats another position on
the seven member County
School Board. The bill increases
minority representation on the
board from two to three.
