fully begged the judge to pro-
coed with the trial, because
"she couldn't go through the
whole thing again."

offered to give the child back
to the mother.
Adoption by Aunt Failed
Testimony disclosed the aunt

the boy, but had failed. The
mother mad then filed suit with
United States District Court to
have the child returned to her.

homelife for the boy. who has
one other illegitimate brother.

Custody Case Of Boy
Marked by Uproor

Flaring tempers and flowing
tears forced bailiffs to restore
order in a Municipal Court
room yesterday.
A 2-year-old Northeast boy
was the center of the hysterical
outburst.
The drama erupted in Do
Relations Court when
Judge Godfrey L. Munter ruled
that the boy should be taken
from his aunt's custody and re-
turned to his mother. The boy,
born out of wedlock, has been
living with his aunt since birth.
Passions exploded the mo-
ment the decision was an
nounced. The aunt, crying I'M
ashamedly, picked up the little
boy and clutched him.
Joy and Despair Clash
Shrieks of joy clashed with
deSpairing shouts among the 20
or so friends and relatives on
both the aunt's and the mothers
sides.
At this point. bailiffs moved
in and Judge Munter ordered
the court recessed.

Zones for Buses
Urged for New
Interstate Roads

Area officials last night in
Dictated they will insist on
new interstate highways wide
enough to accommodate ex-
press bus loading zones and
stations.
Two members of the Airing
ton County Board attending a
briefing on the recently pub
liShed Mass Transportation
Survey referred specifically to
proposed Route Sc in Virginia.
Lee Urbanske, jr., chairman of
the county board, and David
L. Krupsaw, a member, said
they felt the need for rapid
transit on Route 66-recom-
mended in the study-should be
stressed to State and Federal
officials.
Standards for interstate
highways normally do not in
clude special bus lanes or extra
right of = way for rail lines.
However, the standards recon-
mended by the American Asso-
citation of State Highway Off
Gals are minimums and the
Federal Bureau of Public
Roads has in the past approved
purchase of rights-of-way in
excess of the minimums.
The briefing session for area
officials was the first of two
sponsored by the transporta-
ton committee of the Wash

under a Federal bench warrant
because of his failure to ap-
pear on schedule to begin a g.

."The Board of Supervisors
won't give any money unless

gerald. He asked Mr.. Schorn
II he objected to the halt in
payments until the supervisors
receive a report from a hospital
board of inquiry.
- Hits Contractors
:It,s of no Importance to
me- said Mr.. Schorn, who teS-
titled. for almost two hours be-
fore the board of inquiry last
night. Mr., Schorn made clear
he, believed the contractors of
the project were responsible
for the delays.
y The board is going into the
reasons for a lag in the build
ing of the Sc million, S00-bed
hospital on Gallows road. At
earlier hearings, contractors
and subcontractors testified
that impractical designs and
delays in preparation of archi-
tects' drawings were mainly
responsible for possibly setting
back the hospital completion
date a year beyond the No
vember, 1860, goal.
Mr.. Schorn said a shortage
of mechanical engineers and
craftsmen employed by the
general contractors, the George
A. Fuller Co., delayed prepara-
ton of needed shop drawings.
At one point, he said, only
three out of $50 shop drawings
were submitted on time.
Fuller's claims for extra pay
ment because of the delay are
mot solid or we'll founded"
Mr.. Schorn said. Fuller off,
Gals told the board last week
that work lags of up to 212
months would have to be paid
for by the county.
Workers TOO Cautious"
MIR. Schorn also blamed
"overcautiousness" on the part
of workmen, such as on his
designs for low ceilings, and
Inadequate concentrations be-
tween his Office and the con-
tractors.
The arch feet also blamed
the county's plumbing code,
which required several reviSionS
of his plans. The code was
designed for homes and is
waSteful and expensive when
applied to large buildings, he
said.
The contractors have testi-
fled they were delayed partly
because the architect was I'M
able to get a permit for the
plumbing installation. But Mr..
Schorn said the permit is not
required until after the pipes
are installed.
Work by his Office has saved
the project 100000 so far, Mr..
Schorn told the board. He
said he appointed a $10,000-a-
year construction engineer,

boards of Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties and
who then met jointly as mem
bers of the Maryland-Nation

Commission, considered or
acted on five principal topics,
as follows:
J.. Montgomery County plan
ners approved, for the first time
in more than a year, a residen-
tial subdivision plan in the
path of the Wisconsin avenue
corridor.
2. The full commission for
warded the governing bodies of
the two constituent counties a
staff report stating that a sur
felt of apartment-zoned land"
should cause county officials to
adopt q most cautious" ap-
proach in consideration of
apartment rezoning requests.
3. The commission refused to
cede parkland to the Mont
gomery County Arts Center,
Inc, for use of the site of the
cultural groups proposed 81
million center.
4. Commission aides sub
mitted a summary of a new BIZ
county master plan of library
locations.
S. The commission scheduled
a work session next Wednesday
on the Kensington- Wheaton
master plan. which awaits final
commission approval.
Resumes of the commission
and staff findings in each of the
five subjects follow:
Wisconsin Avenue Corridor
Montgomery planners, in APP
proving a 33-lot subdivision
preliminary plan west of Wis
consin avenue and north of
Cedar lane, indicated clearly
that they consider the con-
troversial corridor" express
way plan through Bethesda too
tenuous to justify the continued
withholding of home-building
permits in the corridor right
of-way.
Earlier this year, the COM
missioners concluded a stormy,
year-long debate by voting 5 to
l not to include the corridor
route on the commissions
plan of highways-an
inclusion which would have
frozen land in the superhigh-
ways proposed path. Donald E.
Gingery, a Montgomery men,
Der of the commission, was a
firm supporter of the corridor
throughout the debate.
Apartment ZOning, Current
and Pending - Commission
planning aides submitted a.
recommendation urging
the commission and the gov
erning bodies of the two coun-
ties to proceed with caution in
pending apartment rezoning
The staff report in
dicated that:
Land currently zoned for
apartments but still vacant
and land for which apartment
rezoning are pending total
more than 1000 acres in the
two counties. This acreage
would provide dwelling space
for about $4,000 persons, or,
according to the planning staff,
about all the people we can
expect to move into suburban
Maryland for the next five
years."
Montgomery County Arts
Center, Inc.-The non-profit
corporation recently formed to
promote the construction of
the 81 million center for the
performing and liter
airy arts, has asked the COM
mission for the use of a 20
acre tract of parkland.

the position that the project
was still too premature" or
that the agency should not

present on only two working
days a week and was a princi-
pal reason for the work holdup.
Hospital Specialist
Mr.. Schorn said he had been
an architect for va years, spec
cializing in hospital construc-
ton for the last 10. He said
the Fairfax supervisors had in
vestigated about rs architects
before he was selected for the
job.
He agreed to return for a
future hearing, but said he
might be reluctant to answer
certain questions that would
harm the position of his
clients
At this point, board member
Carl D. Soresi declared:
I'VE will want clear and un-
fettered answers because some
of your statements have been
in direct contradiction to pre-
viouS testimony. We don't
want any double talk on why
you can't give us straight an
swers."
Mr.. Fitzgerald observed that
Mr.. Schorn's client, the hos
pital commission, is a public
body and its actions are a
matter of public record.
Superintendent Fired
Mr.. Schorn answered that
he would not want to harm
the commissions position in
possible future negotiations
over costs and contracts with
the contractors.
Ores Crosby, who resigned
as concrete construction super
intendent Tuesday after de-
ploring the work delays, told
the board the architectural
drawings were continually re-
quiring revision.
THE plans are the worst I've
ever had to implement in Is
years" Mr.. Crosby said. He told
the board that his employer,
the Kirk Lindsey Concrete Con-
Struction Co. of Arlington, dis
charged him yesterday after he
had criticized progress at the
site. The Lindsey firm still has
the concrete contract.
Mr.. Crosby said many care
less errors and lack of co-ordi-
nation between the architect
and the construction engineers
caused costly delays. AS ex-
ampleS, he cited:
That 80 per cent of the grad
ing and site work will have to
be redone; $4,000 could have
been saved by combining two
dirt removing contracts, and
$500 was spent to protect a
poplar with a tree we'll that
later had to be removed at a
cost of an additional 81, 700, to
make way for a power line.
Mr.. Crosby said work stopped
May 6 to IL as well as be-
tween July 20 and August 8
because corrected drawings had
not been prepared quickly
enough by the architect.
Interest Conflict Seen
Mr.. Crosby said he believed
there was a conflict of interest
in the case of Donald E. Ball,
chairman of the Fairfax Hos
pital Association.
Mr.. Ball, of 500 Juniper lane,
told the board he is chairman
OF the Northern Virginia Con-
struction Co., which sells sand
and gravel to the Virginia Con-
crete Co., which, in turn, sells
concrete to the hospital project.
He denied having anything
directly to do with construc-
ton projects or having any
connection with the Virginia
Concrete Co. He also noted
that the hospital association
has no relation with the hos
pital construction.
The board announced other
subcontractors and Mr.. Schorn's
field representative, Mr.. Saun-
ders, would be interviewed at
a meeting Tuesday night.
