THERE ARE two new sub

Stratford Landing and Race
brook. We suggested to the
developers that it would be
more accurate historically to
use the term for the area
found in the Washington
diaries. 'Carney's Gut But
they wouldn't buy that.
"'Sulgrave Terrace is the
name Of a large subdivision
just northwest Of the Mount
Vernon brick wall. and
Yacht Haven is downriver
between Mount Vernon and
Belvoir. In some locations
there the developers are
using the Florida method Of
dredging a canal so that a
cabin cruiser can be made
fast in the back yard.
Several hundred houses
priced from $1,000 to $780,

around here already"

There was q smell Of burn
ing leaves n the air yester.
day as guests arrived at the
Ramhler's house from New
York.
The year Is ending. There's
no doubt about 1t. It seems
only a few days ago that we
had the beauty Of the cherry
blossoms and all the attend
ant hoopla.
There's been a speedup Of
late and its not all dine to
this thing beepfng around
every 50 minutes.
out-of-town guests are
always welcome - especially
these particular ones - be-
cause they are an excuse to
revisit Mount Vernon.
A departed poet who was
a contemporary Of the RAM
bler's. Edna st. Vincent MIL
lay, once wrote something
about q moment when the
world was so beautiful that
she prayed no leaf would
fall.
1t was like that yesterday
along the Potomac on the
boulevard.

Regulations Eased

neg uAAtAoAh8 Ea&cU
Under the new reciprocal
support law. criminal action
against out-of-State dilinouent
fathers is still possible. But the
new law enables the deserted
wife to get more easily q court
support order by civil action. A
civil judgement in favor Of the
deserted wife is sent to a court
near the out-of State husband,
who then is ordered to support
his family or face contempt
action BY the out-of-State
court.
Assistant United States At
torney Harold Rogers. who
estimates he has interviewed
$4,000 deserted wives in nine
years In preparation for GRIM
inal prosecution Of out-of-the-
District husbands. is happy
about the new support unit
and the reciprocal law for the
District.
I've had to turn away more
than half of the women who
come here because they don't
comply with the provisions OF
the criminal law on support. "
Mr.. Rogers said. He estimates
the new support unit will have
about 900 cases the first year.
Our intention is to get all
these support cases out Of the
criminal field into civil pro-
cesses." Mr.. Rogers said. but
II they can't take care Of them,
we'll take them back"
Reaction from suburban
areas here Is favorable to the
Districts participation in re-
ciprocal family support proc
esses in effect elsewhere across
the country.
ArlingtOn-"Up TO now. II q
father went into the District,
we pretty much had to let nom
support matters Drop" said
Welfare Supt. John Howe, who
estimated the county has about
20 potential cases for recipro-
cal non-support action.
Alexandria-"Before. the only
way we could get a father was
to issue a warrant and turn II
over to District police" said
Michael j. Barrett, clerk Of the
Alexandria Juvenile and Do
nestle Relations Court. "But
there was a lot Of trouble II
the father fought extradition.
I imagine that in the course OF
q year we have rs or 80 cases
TO work on with Washington. {"
Fairfax-Mrs. Mildred Slater,
clerk Of the Fairfax County
Juvenile and Domestic Rela-
tons Court, said the court has
81 non-support cases for reci-
procal action with other States
and about IS or 20 OF these
cases are for action with the
District. Il think 1t will be a
lot easier to handle them
through the reciprocal support
process" Mrs. Slater said.

Not to Close
Oyster House

ok SneLnSn dealers mildly
protested against the Districts
plan to regulate their industry
at q hearing before the Conn
missioners today. but no organ.
lied opposition was evident.
The proposed regulation. de-
signed to bring Washington's
shellfish handling up to Public
Health Service standards. are
similar to those in effect in
Virginia. Maryland and every
other Atlantic Coast State.
The Public Health Service
severely criticized shellfish han.
ding here after an inspection
last March. The city-owned
oyster-shucking house on the
Municipal Wharf was singled
out as especially insanitary,
and Commissioner David B.
Karrick has recommended that
it be closed.
/ Wf
Pruitt Enters Complaint
z. c. Pruitt, owner Of one Of
the boats which tie UP at the
wharf and sell fish. complained
that the closing Of the shucking
house would drive the boats
out Of business because they
would be unable to get their
oysters shucked. The boat
owners business depends on
selling shucked oysters packed
in their own juice, he said.
Mr.. Pruitt said he believes
the shucking house could be
.remodeled to make it sanitary.
The Public Health Service has
said q complete renovation"
would be necessary.
Emory N. Ellis, a retail dealer,
| protested against a proposed
requirement that oysters be
shucked in a separate room
from the place where other
fish are stored. Because most
Of the wharf is due for razing
within a year. he said. the cost
OF setting UP a new shocking
room would be "prohibitive."
I But William H. Cary. jr,
chief Of the Food and Public
Health Engineering Bureau.
said he was sure retail dealers
could make some arrangement
for separate space that would
be acceptable for a short time.
In Path Of Freeway
The wharf is in the path Of
the new Southwest freeway.
Construction Of the freeway is
expected to begin next July.
william c. Eacho, general
manager Of the Washington
Fish Exchange, complained
that the proposed regulations
require retailers to keep stricter
records than restaurants. Mr..
Cary pointed out that shellfish
sold by restaurants would have
to be bought from certified
sources which kept records on
them.
Other opposition witnesses
were Cliff L. Elliott of E. L.
AnderSon's Sea Food: A. J.
Ellis Of A. J. Ellis & Son. and
Robert NJ. Meehan, a whole
saler.
Health Director Daniel L.
Finucane and License Director
Cabell Gwathmey appeared in
support of the proposed regula-
tons.
Referring to the Public
Health Service findings, DR..
Finucane said:
I'VE are most fortunate that
there has not been an outbreak
Of disease and food poisoning
that can be traced to this
source. We cannot continue to
press our good fortune.
Further backing for the pro-
posed regulations came in q
letter from the Georgetown
Citizens Association.

the last Jurisdiction in the

makes It easier for deserted
wives and children to get

bands and fathers who flee
across State lines.
