House Group
Due 10 Act on
Narcotics Bill

The House District Committee
is expected to take up the Dis
trict's big narcotics bill at its
session tomorrow.
Committee Clerk William N.
Mcleod. jr.. after a two-and-a-
half-hour session with law en-
forcement officers, doctors and
druggists yesterday. said he be-
Ilieved an acceptable compromise
had been worked out.
The session followed public
hearings in which the pharma :
cists particularly protested a
section of the bill which would
permit inspectors of the Federal
Food and Drug Administration to
inspect druggists prescription
records.
Would Strike Section
Mr.. Mcleod said he would rec
ommend to the House District
subcommittee working on the
legislation that this section be
stricken out 1t would not inter-
fere with the present power OF
Federal Bureau of Narcotics
agents to inspect narcotics rec
ords on probable cause"
The druggists had proposed
that If they had to keep records
provided for in sthe bill. physi-
clans should do likewise. The
physicians protested and the
present exemption of physicians
was permitted to remain in the
bill after Yesterdays session.
Mr.. Mcleod said he would GO
over the bill and recommended
changes today with Representa-
tive Abernethy, Democrat of
Mississippi, the subcommittee
chairman, to get it in shape for
tomorrow's full committee meet
ing.
Senators to Act Friday
A similar bill is also under con-
sideration by a Senate District
subcommittee. headed by Sena-
tor Morse. Democrat of Oregon.
The subcommittee has already
held hearing on the measure
and is scheduled to vote on it at
a meeting Friday.
The measure tightens control
over drug addicts, provides for
quarantine of chronic addicts
claSSed as Migrants, liberalizes
laws affecting police rights to
search premises where narcotics
are believed stored and to arrest
suspected peddlers, and provides
controls for the first time over
the dispensing of sleeping and
thrill" pills.
Meanwhile, the District Com
today discussed posi-
BILE administrative effects of the
proposed bill if it is passed.
Public Health Director Daniel
L. Seckinger pointed out that the
measure may result in apprehen-
sion OF such a large number of
drug addicts that the District
may have to establish a rehabili-
tation farm for them. DR.. Seek
niger mentioned the District
owned tract at Muirkirk. Md.
just east Of the Baltimore pike.
This site, once occupied as the
District Training School for
Girls, has long been abandoned.
1t has heretofore been suggested
as a combination rehabilitation
farm for District alcoholics and
a tree nursery for the Highway
Department.

T odoy Mothers Endure
Substitutes in Kitchen

Today is Mothers Day and
many mothers will be glad when
it's over.
Fathers and sons and some
times daughters are taking over
the kitchen chores and doing in
hours what mother does in
minutes.
But, behind the Presidential
proclamation designating this
day in honor Of mothers, is the
thought that mothers, by and
large, must be unselfish and
loving 365 days in the year and
they deserve at least an occa-
sional tribute.
Origin Recalled
Anna M. Jarvis, who died in
l948, felt that way when on the
second anniversary of her own
mothers death in 1907, she
gathered a few friends at her
home for a memorial service.
Out of this grew Mothers Day,
now observed in more than 40
countries.

Silver Spring Hospital
aces est on Tax Issue

Opposition has been voiced by
the Wheaton Chamber of Com
merce and Woodside Park. Cap
.itol View Park, Stephan Knobs
Pleasant View and Northmont
Citizens Associations.
The Silver Spring Hospital
Association. Inc, a private non
profit Maryland corporation
would operate the hospital.
The association-now compris-
ing about $50 civic and business
leaders in the eastern sector
proposes its membership be open
to all property owners.
The county Medical Care Com
mission has said there is a "se-
rious shortage" of hospital beds
in the county.
Plans Prepared
The hospital association, head
ed by Ralph D. Boyd, has re-
tanned Gordon A. Friesen Asso-
ciates, hospital consultantS, and
White, Noakes g. Neubauer, hos
pital architects and engineers to
survey the need and prepare
plans for the hospital.
The architectural firm has re-
ported that of Is hospitals
planned by it in recent years,
none is operating in the red. No
county funds are proposed to
operate the hospital.
The hospital is expected to
cost about 81 million with some
funds coming from Halliburton
Federal sources and from funds
of the hospital association.
Proponents of the hospital
bill. including its sponsor, Coun-
Gil President Robert T. Snure,
feel this is the do-or-die effort.

By CHARLES L. HOFFMAN

The bell will sound at 8 o'clock
tomorrow night, opening a de-
cisive round in the long battle
over a hospital for the Silver
Spring Wheaton area.
At that time the Montgomery
County Council will hold a public
hearing in the County Building
Rockville. on a bill to permit a
SO million bond issue for con-
IStruction of the hospital.
The bond issue would be paid
off through a tax not to exceed
seven cents per 500 of assessed
valuation on property in the 18th
(Wheaton) Election District ex-
Guiding the present incorporated
limits Of Takoma Park and Ken
Sington.
The proposed 225-bed hospital
would be located on an ll-acre
tract adjoining Sligo Park at
Forest Glen road.
Area Patients Seen
Supporters of the hospital bill
contend that most of the patients
would come from the area on
which the tax is to be levied
but concede the doors would not
be closed to other county resi-
dents.
Opponents, led by a newly
formed group calling themselves
the 18th District Referendum
Association, say that If the hos
Ipital is open to all county resi-
dents, the tax should be county
wide.
The hospital was first proposed
in 1943 by the Allied Civic Group
of Silver Spring, a federation
of citizens associations.
Twice major drives have fallen
in defeat, once in 1945 and again
in 1850. when the county council
refused to finance it out Of gen.
eral county funds.
Tax ArOuses Opposition
Today, the opposition primar-
lily is based on the limitation of
the tax to the 18th district.
This was scored yesterday as
"undemocratic, arbitrary and
discriminatory" by Julian A.
Bartolini, chairman Of the refer
endum group.
The group wants the proposed
bond bill put to a referendum to
be voted on by all county resi-
dents. II the bill passes, such a
referendum may result.
The hospital bill has been in
dorsed by the Silver Spring Board
Of Trade. ministerial associations
in Wheaton and Silver. Spring,
most Silver Spring service groups.
the Wheaton Rescue Squad, the
Wheaton Lions and Optimists
Clubs and several citizens asso-
Citations and parent-teacher
groups.

Commenting on charges by
Representative Moulder, Demo-
crat of Missouri, that the Wolf

that the restoration bill would
give them an opportunity to
bleed it some more, Mr.. Harris
declared:
LAS for the bleeding hearts who

possible to do it.
Tax concessions proposed in
the restoration bill would ex-
empt the company from pay

it nearly half a million dollars,

trict's 6-cent-a-gallon gasoline

During the first four months
of this year, Mr.. Harris said,
etc earned S1,177,000. without
allowing for a tax write-off of

ris said that if the earnings
were calculated at that rate on
a yearly basis without allowing
for a new wage increases, and
without allowing for the usual
summer slump in patronage, the
company would be earning about
per cent this year.

be a reasonable figure.
