Train Death
Decision Due
From Coroner

County Medical Examiner F. J.
Broschart is expected to rule this
week on the Sunday night death
of Mrs. Odel Huff Skolaut, who
was killed by the Cleveland Night
Express on the 3 & o tracks at
Randolph Road near Rockville.
The medical examiner says he
will decide whether the death was
a suicide or an accident after
studying a police interview with
train engineer J. II. Gilbert of
Brunswick.
The engineer told police he saw
the woman standing on the tracks
in front OF the west-bound train
but could not stop in time to avoid
hitting her. The train was de-
layed about an hour. No charges
have been pressed against Mr.. Gil
bert.
The victims husband, Milton
w. Skolaut, told police his wife
underwent several serious oper-
atoms recently and had been de-
spondent over her health. The
couple, both National Institutes
Of Health employees, lived in
Randolph Hills near the scene of
the death.
The Skolauts had no children.

Hospital Bill
Vote i'm Fall
Now Official

The Hospital Referendum AS
sociation was officially notified
Monday by the Supervisor of
Elections office that the Silver
Spring hospital issue will be a
referendum question on the bal
lot in November.
The notification came almost a
week after the Association had
presented the election supervi-
sor's office with 11,048 signatures
on petitions asking a referendum.
The signatures fulfilled all le-
gal requirements" the supervisors
of elections found. Signatures
from only 5 percent of the coun.
tvs 100000 registered voters
were needed to force a referen-
DUN.
The referendum will be on Bill
No. ! passed by the County Coun-
ell at its May legislative session.
The bill authorizes a IS million
bond issue to finance construction
Of a hospital at Forest Glen Road
and Sligo Creek Parkway.
The bond would be repaid over
80 years from tax not to exceed
z cents per 500 of assessed value
in the 18th tWheaton-Silver
Spring Election District.
The bill would have become eff
festive yesterday had the refer
endtim move failed.
Meanwhile the Referendum AS
sociation is gearing to fight
against the bill John r. Kidwell,
vice-chairman of the referendum
group, stated, Within the next
few weeks we intend to issue in
formation on the hospital bill and
enumerate the reasons why it is
in the public interest for the vot-
ers to defeat it at the polls"

Suit to Fix
Utility Move
Cost Planned

Suit will be filed in Prince
Georges County to decide whether
the State Roads Commission or
the Washington Suburban SAM

relocation of utilities during high.
way construction.
Two or three million dollars
has been spent for relocating
water and sewer lines in this area
as part of the SRC building pro
gram. T. Earle Bourne, sanitary
commission chairman, said the
two agencies have been unable to
settle the problem.
Mr.. Bourne called the court
action a friendly suit" and said
it will not delay highway con.
struction.
"The purpose of the suit is
simply to have a final determine.
ton of who shall pay the cost OF
relocating utilities" he said.
The WSSC, saying that new
roads will be used by more Mary
landers than residents of the SUI

ed to have the state legislature
fix responsibility for the costs on
the SRC, but failed.
