Three successive parties
took place yesterday that
bore as much relation to
each other as their chief
topics of conversation -
lie. the Democratic Con-
vention, Lithuanian indie
pendence and who owns the
best black pearls in the
country.
The first subject was a
natural byproduct of the
4-to-6 party given by Con-
necticut Senator and Mrs.
Thomas Dodd in honor of
their Governor, Abraham
Ribicoff. The vital Demo-
cratic Governor was in town
as chairman of a guberna-
torial group meeting here to
discuss the Federal Govern
ment's cutback on the high
way program.
Naturally the Governors
about support for Senator
Jack Kennedy came into the
conversation. How long
would he continue to back
Kennedy at the convention?
Until he's elected" replied
the Governor with conf
dence But suppose he is
obviously not going to win?
Il am with Kennedy until
the finish" was the answer.
He says he firmly believes
Jack Kennedy will get the
nomination before the re-
suits of the first ballot are
announced.
REP RE SEN NATIVE
CHESTER BOWLES, a late
arrival at the party, said he
thinks Jack will get it by the
third ballot. AS for his own

with a smile. Asked if

and the tinting of a real
white diamond clasp to make
it look like the more ex-
pensive canary diamond.
BLACK PEARLS, of course,
are not really black. They
are more apt to be a deep
smoke color or a taupe. They

them only next to white
pearls, otherwise, she said,

Council Seeks
New Laws for
Safeguards

County authorities are
looking into a variety of new
protective laws ranging from
compulsory snoring require
ments for excavations to
safeguards for rotary lawn
mowers.
The studies were ordered at
the County Councils meeting in
Tuesday in response to council
members suggestions.
Councilman William Hickey
started the ball rolling when he
referred to the death last week
of a construction laborer in a
ditch cave-in. The work was
being carried on in connection
with a Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission project.
II was surprised to discover,
he said, "that there is no law
requiring snoring of bitches and
excavations"
County Manager Mason A..
Butcher said snoring is required
on all county projects despite
the absence of such a law.
Assistant County Attorney
Joseph Blocher said there is "a
question on how far we can 60
on Sanitary Commission work"
but he promised to investigate.
Councilman David Cahoon
then asked the county attor-
ney's office to check the posi-
bility of requiring a structural
engineer to look over plans for
buildings having more than two
floors.
The lawn mower question
came up during a discussion by
council members of the increas-
ing prevalence of accidents
caused by the mowers.
Cahoon agreed that some
thing might be done IN the mat
ter, but commented that 1--WE
can't very well tell a man how
to 60 up the slope of his lawn"
Blocher said he would study the
possibility of requiring protec-
tive devices.

decision throwing out a demand
for a referendum on the towns
annual budget.
Won't Affect Referendum
"Rumors have it that the ref.
erendum on the bond issue has
been called off," Duvall said.
This is not so. Judge Pugh's
action means there will be no
vote on the towns annual
budget. But the bond issue is
another matter entirely. The
voters in the town will approve
or disapprove this bond issue
next Saturday as scheduled"
The mayor and town council
adopted an ordinance on May
End, proposing the bond issue.
II would have gone into effect
automatically after 20 days, but
petition for referendum was
filed, and the referendum date
was then set.

The action was taken by a "A

which the opposing council
members pointed out that the
proposal was contrary to the
master plan for the Wheaton.
Glenmont area.
Councilman Stanley Frosh
also warned of the danger of
opening the way to strip com
mercial zoning" along Layhill
I'd.
The question of the water
tank was brought up by Coun-
Gilman David L. Cahoon, who
contended 1t had an adverse
economic effect on adjacent
residential property.
II know from my own expert
ence," he declared, "that these
structures make 1t extremely
difficult to obtain financing for
development OF adjoining resi-
dental lots"
He. added that in one case, a
water tank has reduced the
value of adjoining property by
several thousand dollars.
Later, the subject was
brought up again by Council
man Joe M. Kyle in referring
to the Sanitary Commissions
plans to build several elevated
tanks as part Of the agency's
capital improvement program.
Describing them as "hideous
things which blight the sur
rounding area" Kyle said there
must be other methods of pro-
viding water storage without
going up in the air with tanks"
He said the Glenmont tank
"sticks up like a sore thumb"
Cahoon commented that ele-
waited tanks appear to be the
solution to the storage problem
If only hydraulics are consider
ed. He added, however, that the
commission should take other
community factors into con-
sideration before planning such
structures.

Smith Case Recalled
Clubbing Incidents Lead
To Transfer of Policeman

One of the policemen who
stood trial in the county's
so-called "Smith Case" has
been involved in other in
stances of alleged violence
and has been transferred from
the Rockville station, it was
learned this week.
The officer, Cornelius De
Vries, jr., Is now attached to
the Wheaton substation.
A high police official said the
transfer was effected because
De Vries had attained a reputa-
ton as a tough officer" and
because at least one man in the
Rockville area had been "chal-
longing" him.
The transfer was intended In
part to avoid any potential re-
taliation against De Vries, the
official said.
According to this source, De
Vries' conduct has not been such
as to draw department censure,
but has been interpreted as ex-
cusable under the circum-
stances.
In one recent case, a defend
ant charged with drunk and dis
orderly conduct had to be hos
pitalized after De Vries used his
blackjack in making the arrest.
The charges were dropped by

Wiretapping
Law Here Is
Supported

Maryland's overlapping
law received strong support
this week from States At
torney Leonard T. Hardy.
He made his attitude clear
in commenting on last weeks
order by Arlington County
Manager A. T. Lundberg to
police in the nearby Virginia
area to stop overlapping tele-
phone conversations.
Declaring he is opposed to
such a blanket ban on wiretap.
ping in Montgomery County,
Hardy Insisted that the present
State law provides ample safe
guards against invading citi-
zens' privacy unnecessarily.
He explained county police
can use overlapping only after
the States attorneys office or
the attorney general for Mary
land obtains Circuit Court per-
mission following a hearing on
the request.
The order is good for 80 days.
Another hearing must be filed
and a hearing held if an ex-
tension is requested, he added.
1.-THE present law is excel
lent" Hardy declared, "and
should not be circumscribed or
limited any further"
He said his office does not
apply to the court for wiretap-
ping permission ''indiscriminate-
ly' and has used such a method
of obtaining evidence in only
relatively few cases, principally
those involving narcotics.
1--WE have a good, workable
system of checks and balances
now" he asserted, "and it
should not be changed"
