Hospital Ruting

OCEAN CITY. Md. Sept. IS
(AP).-Mafyland's official Or

medical body determines If
hospitals should be accredited,
The Medical and Chirurgical
Faculty Of Maryland resolved
yesterday that the standards

a hospital to obtain and keep
an adequate staff.
The Joint Commission rep

generalization of two Maryland
mental hospitals, Spring Grove
and Springfield.
The withdrawal prompted
Gov. McKeldin and DR.. Clifton
T. Perkins, mental superinten-

were not too concerned. They
said they were satisfied as long
as the hospitals retained ac-
creditation by the American

Extinguisher
Code Protested
By Servicers

Nearby Maryland fire ex-
tinguisher servicers last night
protested a licensing regula-
ton in Montgomery County's
proposed fire code revisions.
At a public hearing before
the County Council in Rock
vile, several representatives of
extinguisher maintenance firms
approved tighter county COM
troll over fire protection facili-
ties. but objected to exemption
for county fire departments.
The revised code would re-
quire all persons who refill, re-
pair or recharge fire extinguish-
ers to be licensed by the county
fire marshal's Office, but would
exempt county fire departments
Srom this regulation.
Elvin James, representing the
Capital Inspection and Re-
charge Service, Inc, of
Wheaton, said the licensing ex-
emptions for fire departments
would be an unfair trade prac-
tice and would defeat the pur-
pose Of the code"
Councilman said they win
keep the hearing record open
for 10 days.
