Scout reuts
Himself After
Snukebite

A 14-year-old boy relied on
his Boy Scout training yester-
day to treat himself for a snake
bite believed inflicted by a poi
sonous copperhead.
Christopher Patterson, son of
Mrs. Lorraine Patterson, was
admitted in good condition to
Washington Sanitarium after
being bitten by the snake near
Northwest Branch about half a
mile from his home at 800 Pen
wood road, Silver Spring, Md.
Christopher was on a hike
with three friends in a wooded
area when he caught the snake
with a forked stick.
Bobby Benton. 10. of S1s VIII
hamburg drive, said Christopher
grabbed the snake behind its
head. The snake wiggled free
and bit Christopher on the left
foref1nger.
Bobby said Christopher threw
the snake away but asked his
friend not to kill it.
The snake was killed soon
afterwards by a man who saw
It swim across the branch.
Christopher borrowed knife
and cut open his finger to
suck out the venom.
Mrs. Patterson said her sons
hand was swollen when he ar
rived home.
Bobby said he recognized the
snake as a copperhead. A hos
pital spokesman said Christie

Owner Appears
Norman Bernstein; Terrace
owner, appeared with Mr.. Hart
as hearings closed yesterday to
volunteer the price of $770, 900
he had offered NCHA for his
apartments.
He said ne would be selling
at a loss of $4,000 if NCHA
accepted the offer. He bought
the property in 1852. 1t still
carries a mortgage Of $675. 900.
Apartments began to lose
tenants two years after his pur-
chase. he told the Commission
ers, when the character of the
neighborhood" began to change,
Last December, he integrated
the apartments, and since then
they have been 100 per cent
occupied, almost entirely by
Negro families, he said.
Mr.. Hart said Mr.. Bernstein
felt he held a property that
would be desirable for NCHA.
The owners would just as soon
have their money in something
else, according to Mr.. Hart.
Dumping" Charged
This amounts to dumping
undesirable private property
onto public housing officials.
said Ernest F. Henry, Of the
Washington Home Builders AS
ISOLATION. He charged that the
sale would be a communiza-
ton of private housing-"com-
munal and socialized housing
by Government decree.
After the hearing, the Repub-
lican leader. Mr.. Hart, said he
had been called a lot of names
in the course of his activities,
but never communal"
Authority Director James
Ring said he knew of no sale
like it in the country. But a
spokesman reported that the
Montgomery (Ala.) Public Au-
thority. in the heart of Dixie
land, had recently bought a
similar private apartment.

Critics labeled the proposed
sale as socialism. pure and
simple" at a hearing before
the Commissioners yesterday.
Champions defended it as the
only immediate means Of hous-
ing families to be dislocated
from the city's slums.
The issue arises at a time
when influential forces. within
the Eisenhower administration
are advocating a complete end
to the Governments slum clear
ance program.
A further complication for
Eisenhower appointees, Mr..
Mclaughlin and Commissioner
David B. Karrick, is represent
tation Of Terrace interests in
the proceedings by Attorney
George L. Hart. Mr.. Hart also
is chairman of the Republican
State Committee, whose mem
berS' recommendations to the
White House on local political
appointments are almost law.
No Halt Intended
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the
White House had assured him
the President did not intend to
halt Slum clearance.
The Commissioner sought adj
ministrative guidance earlier
this year, he said, when the
President asked that the $3.50
million request for Nationwide
slum clearance be cut to SITS
million for the. coming year.
II was told the administra-
ton concern was that big APP
preparations caused Slum pro-
grams to f1ange out" Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said. THE White
House was interested IN pulling
the program tightly together
so all the work called for in one
year could be accomplished in
that year"
Since then, Congress has
passed, and the President has
signed, a bill with the $3.50 mil
lion reinstated.
Nevertheless opposition to the
program for the coming fiscal
1859 year centers in the Treas
ury. the Budget Bureau and the

|Edgemoor Suit
Seeks 10 Block
Road Widening

Residents of the Edgemoor
area of Bethesda have filed
suit in Montgomery County
Circuit Court to block the
County Councils plan to widen
Arlington road west of the Be-
thesda business district.
The residents, together with
the Edgemoor Citizens Asso-
citation, urged the circuit court
to nullify the Councils June 4
resolution authorizing tn e
widening of a half-mile section
of Arlington road from widths
of 10 and 20 feet to an overall
width of A feet. The citizens
declared the project is arbi-
trary. capricious and stated it
viii cause irreparable damage
to owners of abutting property.
Over 100 Edgemoor resi-
dents had opposed the project
at a public hearing prior to
| the councils decision. They
declared the widening Of tree
lined Arlington road would not
only destroy the residential
character of the neighborhood,
but fail to eliminate traffic
bottlenecks at the roads north
and south ends - at Old
Georgetown road and at Brad
ley boulevard.
A copy of the suit protest
ing the $685. 900 project was
handed to council members at
their regular meeting today.
The suit was filed with the
clerk of the County Circuit
Court. Plaintiffs include seven
Edgemoor residents and Phillip
c. Clarke, president of the
citizens association.
Engineers of the County Pub
| lie Works Department had
planned the front-foot benefit
project to extend from a point
800 feet south of Bethesda
avenue north to Arlington
roads intersection with Old
Georgetown road and Wilson
lane. The engineers declared
the improved thoroughfare will
serve as a much-needed by
pass for traffic through the
congested Bethesda business
district.

enjoys polishing your cherished
silverware. loves to make attrac-
tive floral arrangements. and
doesn't mind in the least WELD
ing the dust cloth-then you
have a wider choice.
Before selecting color
schemes for the interior, it's
smart to think and to
think hard! Otherwise you
may end up with a hodge,
podge you'll regret for many
years to come.
For one thing, when it comes
to slip-cover or drapery mate
rials, it's wise to take home
large samples-not just tiny
lswatches-to get the whole pic
ture.
Get Large Samples
Lay out the materials-over
the sofa, or over a chair-and
study them well. Say you are
using three different materials
in the living room: Be certain
they go well together-that they
are the right combination OF
colors. weaves, textures and de-
signs.
Another thing - when IL
comes to color schemes--it's
a good idea to have rooms
harmonic throughout a small
or medium -sized home :.
especially adjoining rooms
such as the living room and
dining room, or a hall open
to the living room. You don't
want clashes; it's harmony
you're after.
The architectural style of your
home should be taken into con-
slderation also. The interior
can appropriately be in keepine
with the exterior. Early Ameri-
can decor is perfect for the
Colonial house.

citing venture in your life. Plan

Besides, you must "live in" a
