School Loan Bill
To Be Introduced

The President of the Maryland
Senate wants to put the state in
the school loan business.
Senator Goldstein, Calvert coun'
ty Democrat, has said he will spon.
sor bill which would permit the
% counties and Baltimore City to
borrow $50 million dollars during
the next 10 years for school con.
struction, to keep abreast of eX.
pected increase in enrolment
Under present interest rates
Goldstein said it was virtually inn
possible for local subdivisions to
borrow school construction money
at reasonable interest rates.
by using the states credit
wherein bonds will be issued for
a period of Is years, we feel that it
will be possible for the counties
and Baltimore City TO borrow the
money at a lower rate of interest,
get the needed school construction
at once and get a greater value for
the taxpayers dollar" he said. The
money would be made available in
two five-year periods. Garrett
be enabled to borrow $3,33O9O9 if
the bill was enacted.

County Farmers Use
Conservation Plan AS
Guide for Cropping

It looks like farmers who don't
have land use capability maps of
their farms are missing good bet.
More than 700 farmers in the Gar
rett County Soil Conservation Dis
trict got these maps as basic guides
to their cropping system when they
signed up as Soil Conservation Dis
trict cooperators.
These maps will tell you lot
about your farm and its capabili-
ties" says County Agent Carter.
Even men who have farmed their
land for years will tell you they
learned a lot more about their
farm after they got these land use
capability maps"
Land use capability maps are pre-
pared by Soil Conservation tech
nicians, upon request of farmers
who apply to their Soil Conserva-
ton District supervisors for techni-
cal assistance
The S. c. S. technicians visit the
farm, gathering information about
the land. They study this informa-
ton, and then prepare two maps
of the farm, based on aerial sur
veys.
One map shows the farm as it is,
telling the farmer such things as
soil texture, drainage, slope and
extent of erosion. And perhaps
most important, it shows the land
use capability This enables the
farmer to work out cropping sys-
TEN that will use each area to its
best advantage 1t points out what
areas are suited for intensive crop
ping, light cultivation, pasture or
woodland This way, the farmer has
the best possible guide for efficient
crop production for both immediate
and long range uses.
The second map shows a conser-
walton plan which the cooperator
can follow if he chooses to apply
| conservation practices.
with greater emphasis than ever
on efficient production, and with
the possibility of placing land in
the Soil Bank, it's more important
than ever for farmers to have a
good guide for a cropping system
best suited to their land" says Mr.
Carter.
Farmers can obtain more infor-
nation on land use capability maps
from the county agent, supervisors
of the local Soil Conservation Dis
trict. Or the S. c. S. office.

AS a result. he ordered in

Health and Welfare

The conference authorized a
committee headed by Virginia
State Senator Charles r. Fem
wick to study in detail a large
number of problems Gn the
health and welfare fields. In
cluded was the possibility of
developing an area-wide hos
pital plan to anticipate the
hospital needs of the growing
urban region.
A report by the Fenwick COM
mittee said some legislative ac-
ton" might be needed in the
eventual development of an
adequate area hospital program.
At the same time, however, it
said discussions it already has
held throughout the area indi-
cate that the regional aspects
of many health and welfare
problems may be over-rated.
1t said agreement already has
been reached among area health
officials that steps can be taken
to iron out problems of INDECENT
patients from one jurisdiction
who are hospitalized elsewhere.
ION the whole, perhaps the diff
flculties we're not so great as
had been imagined" the report
said. "It was felt that further
discussion and communication
would eliminate the major areas
of controversy"

Favors
Of Laws
Books House Airing
Of Criminal Code

Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray said today he would
welcome a House District Com
mittee inquiry into the city's
legal weapons against crime.
Chief Murray earlier this
month cited an alarming"
trend on the part of courts to
favor the criminal at the ex-
pense of society" in a speech to
the National Association Of
Citizens Crime Commissions.
This week, Deputy Chief
Clarence Lutz said he had been
stymied in efforts to combat
crime because laws and courts
do not lend police enough
support. He blamed much of
the vice here on restrictive laws
that prevent police from col
lecting and using evidence they
need to convict.
Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee dis
closed yesterday he planned to
discuss the possibility of an in
vestigation by his group when
he returns to Washington next
week on other committee bust
ness.
Representative Patterson, Re-
publican Of Connecticut, had
suggested that Chief Murray
and Chief Lutz be called before
the committee to explain the
situation in law enforcement
and submit legislative recon-
mendations.
Perhaps stringent legal re-
forms Of our United States and
District of Columbia criminal
codes are needed in order to
provide better guideposts for
our judges in rendering their
decisions" he said in a letter
to Mr.. McMillen.

2-AIurm Fire
DESTROYS Shop

A two-alarm fire near River
road and the BIO Railway
freight line in Montgomery
County last night destroyed a
one-story. -block-long au-
tomobile repair shop, which
was slated to open Monday
morning. and injured one per-
son slightly.
Located across the railroad
from the new Hot Shoppes
executive and personnel offices
building at 516l River road. the
concrete block structure, about
Is feet wide, was set aflre by a
faulty gas furnace about $50
pm, firemen said. 1t burned
for more than an hour.
Howard Shannon, IS. of Fau-
sett road. Potomac, Md, who
planned to open the shop on
Monday morning, said the loss
of equipment and one automo.
bile, would run into several
thousands" of dollars.
Mr.. Shannon, operator of an
other repair shop in Bethesda,
arrived at the scene early and
succeeded in driving several
cars out Of the blazing building.
He was treated on the premises
for slight burns of the right
hand and forehead. No one else
was injured.
Mr.. Shannon said the build
ing is owned by Royce. Inc, of
300 X street NV. Some 81 800

he said, and the gas furnace
gone over" only a few hours
before the fire.
Five companies with more

Church and Petworth Baptist
Church and that mo adverse
effect upon nearby churches
would come" from granting the
license.
The Northwest Boundary
Civic Association was also
among opponents.
Yesterdays decision differed
in one respect on last months.
in which member Herbert K.
Schollenberger dissented. The
Petworth ruling was unanimous.
But Mr.. Schollenberger, who
has dissented from the board
majority's new basic policy
stand, said he based his vote
yesterday on other considers
lions and not on those guiding
his two colleagues, Mr.. Payne
and Frank E. Weakly.
Policy Attacked
The core of the new major
ity stand appears to be an in
tention Of assuming that all
persons not voicing a view on
future liquor applications will
be considered to have no OBJ
lection. The. persons whose
views will be considered are
the residents of the affected
neighborhood in each case, but
Mr.. Payne has said the neigh
borhood cannot be defined in
advance.
This stand was sharply at
tackled this week by spokesman
for the Palisades Citizens AS
ISOLATION, which unsuccessfully
opposed last months license
grant, at a hearing on another
Macarthur boulevard liquor
store application. This second
application is scheduled for
further consideration at
another hearing session Mon
day.
Harold Gray, president Of the
Federation of Citizens Associa-
tons has called for a congress
sional investigation Of the ABC
Boards actions.
The applicant in the Pet
worth case was Samuel Sherr,
one of a group Of Southwest
liquor store owners being dis
placed by redevelopment. The
ABC Board has been under
pressure to help these store
owners find new locations, but
Mr.. Payne has asserted this has
nothing directly to do with the
new policy stand.
