Lack Of Funds
PeriIs Mental
Health Clinic

Montgomery County'S mental
health clinic may have to close
unless it gets financial aid from
the county. Lawrence Widmayer
president of the clinic board said
yesterday.
Appropriated State funds were
virtually cut off by the County
Council last July because of a
new Maryland law restricting
use of State funds for nongov-
ernmental agencies.
In a move to bolster commu-
nifty support, the clinic formerly
run by the county's Mental
Health Association. was incor-
porated as a nonprofit. chari-
table organization under the
name Community Psychiatric
Clinic of Montgomery County,
Inc.
The clinic finds itself in a
desperate financial situation, .
aid Mr.. Widmayer who was
elected president of the new or
ganization at a Thursday meet
ing of some 80 board members.
IF We can't get some county
help from funds already APP
propriated for mental health
the clinic may have to close its
doors after 20 years of service"
he said.
Mr.. Widmayer, Rockville
attorney and member of the
board Of the Montgomery Bar
Association. said the need for
clinic services is growing while
its financial support and its
staff have dangerously shrunk. .
A staff cut-back leaves it with
one part-time psychiatrist. a
psychologist and two psychiatric
social workers, he said.

Iminal be established at Burke,
Va. Both the Senate and House
have on several occasions re-
iected these demands.
"Yet we find the two Govern
ment agencies having to do with
commercial agencies, ignoring
the will of Congress and engag-
ing in subtle and not too-subtle
lobbying for Burke and against
Friendship.
Indeed I was amazed to learn
that only the other day, B. S.
Spano. a CAA technician. APP
peared before a group in Fair
fax County. Va. in an effort to
overcome the opposition of the
good citizens of that county to
the establishment of a second
national airport at Burke. This
was deliberately done with the
knowledge that the Congress-
man from the Congressional dis
trict is likewise opposed to the
Burke site. To me this is a
direct insult to the very able
Representative Joel T. Broyhill
and a flaqrant abuse of the
functions of the CAA and CAB.
LAS a member of the Senate
Committee on Interstate and
Foreign Commerce, under whose
jurisdiction civil aviation comes.
I vigorously protest against this
lobbying and l shall demand
that it be stopped Immediately.
The Senate has created a spe-
cial committee to investigate pri-
vate lobbies. I sincerely hope
it will take cognizance and act
on Federal lobbying too, for in
deed Federal lobbying can be
extremely dangerous to our form
of government"
