Thompson Bill
Asks Another
Circuit Judge
BY a Star Stan Writer

RICHMOND. Jan. ga bill
to create a fourth circuit Judge
ship for Alexandria and Fair
fax and Prince William Coun-
ties was introduced in the
House Of Delegates today.
The judge would have to
come from Alexandria, under
terms of the bill.
Delegate James M. Thomson
Of Alexandria offered the meas
ure in a brief House session on
the eve of the lawmakers de-
parture for three day tour of
Northern Virginia.
The Sixteenth Judicial Cir
cult now includes two judges
from FairfaX-Paul Brown and
Harry Carrico-and one from
Prince William County-Arthur
w. Sinclair.
Mr.. Thomson specified in his
bill that each jurisdiction
should have at least one judge
on the bench.
Delegate Stanley Owens Of
Manassas in Prince William
County said he could not go
along with this particular fea-
ture Of the measure, although
he would support a fourth
judge for the area.
In principle" Mr.. Owens
said. "it is not good to have
the law require that you do
that. see no objection to it
in actual practice but it is con-
ceivable that the bar associa-
tions could not get together on
a candidate from one jurisdic-
ton"
When a third judgeship was
created for the circuit two
years ago, those mentioned as
possibilities for the bench from
Alexandria included City At
torney v. Floyd Williams,
Mayor Leroy Bendheim, former
police court judge James r.
Duncan, now a member of the
Federal Subversive Activities
Control Board; Albert v. Bryan,
jr., son of the Federal court
judge, and Thomas P. Mon
cure, former chairman of the
Alexandria Democratic COM
mittee.
Figuring more recently in
speculation were Joseph M.
Pancoast, vice mayor, and
Harmon E. Norris, commits

Advisers Ask
Bigger Voice
InCityAffairs
Citizens Council
Calls for Fewer
Other Committees

The District Commissioners
today were asked by their Citi-
zens' Advisory Council to cut
back the number Of other ad-
visory committees and, at the
same time. strengthen the
councils voice in city affairs.
The council recommended
that:
l. The 80 other advisory
groups be reduced to 26.
2. The Commissioners stop
their occasional practice of
taking action on major reports
and recommendations without
consulting the council.
3. The councils membership
be increased from 9 to Is, its
standing committees from two
to six, along with appointment
of special committees when
needed, and that council meet
ingS be weekly rather than BIZ
weekly.
4. The Commissioners for
mally abolish IL inactive ad-
visory groups.
Efficiency Argued
All this, the council con-
tends, would result in better
government for the city. The
action would reduce confusion
and duplication of effort and
would result in better CO.
ordination of the activities of
the Commissioners host ad-
visers, the council said.
Today's action was taken in
approving a subcommittee's
findings on the relationship be-
tween the council and the other
advisory organizations. The
study was authorized by the
Commissioners last June.
The recommendations, ac-
cording to the report, were
made solely to enable the
council to do a better job in
advising the Commissioners
and sesrving the public.
On reducing the number of
other organizations, the coun-
Gil said that the Asian In
fluenza Committee should go.
Three others dealing with
vocational rehabilitation and
employment of the physically
handicapped should be merged
into one. the council said, and
two others-the Committee of
Awards for Valor and the
Committee on Fire Passes
should be taken off the list of
advisory groups and their fields
be given strictly departmental
status.
Examples Given
The IL inactive organizations
include such groups as the
Committee on Elimination of
Streetcar Tracks and the Dis
trict Shed and Fence Review
Board.
In other action, the council
joined opponents Of proposal
by Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee to
separate District General Hos
pital from the Health Depart

1T BROUGHT A LETTER


from T. Sutton Jett, associate
superintendent of National

the chapter on the wrist for

No. 8, Northwest.

delivered by Fred E. Wood
ward before a gathering at
Stone No. 8, Southeast, in
1916. Since then, the OAR
has attempted to protect the
stones and their fences, re-
painting here, wedding there.
Actually, there are 40 stones,
laid out by Andrew Ellicott,
q surveyor, who finished the
Job in 1893. The District was

Of the stones are in either
Maryland or Virginia or
should be.
The 40 stones are United
States Government property
and are watched over by
National Capital Parks off,
cials as we'll as the OAR
chapters in the area.
Still, things happen to the
stones. From Miss Towson's
records:

ports its stone "sunken into
the ground danger of
being buried"
Mary Washington Chapter
reports "Stone mysteriously
disappeared early one eve

Tawes Backs
Red|ignment
OF Assembly
Action Invites
Leadership Test
In Legislature

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. % (AP)
Gov. Tawes has invited a test
of his legislative leadership in
advance of the opening of the
1860 General Assembly-13
days away.
He came out yesterday with
Endorsement of a plan to re-
apportion the House of Dele
gates, a longtime hot potato.
The small and medium size
counties have been vigorously
opposed to any change in fear
of diluting their strength. The
two latest proposals have been
drawn black looks from Balti-
more City also.
Proposal Defeated
The Legislative Council voted
down the first proposal by a
1875 vote last November 4.
Gov. TaweS accepted that de-
cision, but told the commission
headed by William c. Walsh of
Cumberland to try again.
The com mi iSsion came
through on December 81 and
lit differed from the first rec
ommendation in that it held
out some chance for gain by
Baltimore City. 1t would have
been held to its present So
delegates while nearby counties
would have gained under the
original.
The new plan provides for
boundary lines of the six city
districts to be redrawn so that
each would have about $4,000
residents and six delegates.
Any district or county reach
ing 100000 population would
gain a delegate. After that,
each additional 100000 gain in
population would entitle the
district or county to another
delegate up to a maximum
of 10.
However, the total number
Of delegates would stop at 141.
There now are 1913.
Gov. Tawes anticipated the
Legislature will not swallow the
plan docilely.
Like so many instruments
produced in the Democratic
process" he stated, this re-
port is a compromise of con-
dicting opinions.
"In my opinion, the compro-
mise proposal represents the
best solution to the problem
that we can expect under the
circumstances.
II therefore indorse the
commissions recommendation
for reapportionment and ask
the members of the General
Assembly to support legislation
to implement it."
The Governor again recalled
that reapportionment of the
General Assembly was one of
the planks on which he cam
paigned for reelection in 1858.
Immediate Gains
The four counties of Balti-
more, Prince Georges, Mont
gomery and Anne Arundel
would gain seats Immediately
if the Governor prevails. Bal
timore County's delegates woul
increase from six to nine,
Prince Georges and Mont
gomery from six to eight and
Anne Arundel from six to seven.
The Walsh plan leaves the
Senate as it is with one from
each county and the six Bal
timore districts for a total
of 30.
The Governors Endorsement
was received with enthusiasm
by legislators representing
Montg omery and Prince
Georges Counties.

1T is NOT A SIMPLE chore
for Miss Towson. Frequently,
the stones are difficult to
find. Sometimes, the sys-
tematic inspection falls down
because of the human ele-
ment.
On a recent inspection Of
one of the stones, Miss Tow
son discovered that weeds
had obScured the marker.
She notified the historian
responsible for the condition,
announcing tn at: Your
stone is a sight"
Il know" said the embar-
rasSed historian" but it's too
cold to fix it up now"
There are other troubles
for Miss TowSon. Last year,
in attempting q to find a
marker near the East-West
highway, she brushed into
some poison ivy and a large
family Of chiggerS.
There have been other
stone incidents. In 1857, the
Arlington House Chapter
inadvertently dedicated a
milestone near Fortieth and
Tazewell streets in Arlington
which had already been ded-
icated in 1918 by the Sarah
st. Clair Chapter which later
changed its name to the
Descendants of '76 Chapter
and, somehow, became a
District of Columbia chap
ter.

The
Rambler
Hears of
A Responsibility
BY JOHN McKELWAY

Her apartment was cheer
full. 1t had warmth and was
quite neat. The televiSion set
seemed uncomfortable in the
Victorian surroundings.
Miss Helen J. Towson, a
cheerful, retired sixth grade
teacher with bright blue eyes,
said she was disturbed about
the boundary stones of the
District of Columbia. In one
case, she said, "a builder"
had dug in and picked up the
stone with its surrounding
fence and had removed it
entirely.
1--WE are working like dogs
on that one" she said. II
think it's under a pile of dirt
near Rockville"
AS she talked about the
stones, the % stones, there
was maybe a suggestion she
was looking forward to the
month of March. She is State
historian, District of Colum-
bia, Daughters of the
American Revolution. Her
two-year term ends then and
life might be easier once she
has been relieved of the
responsibility of the stones.
There are go OAR chapters
In the District with a total
membership of 1000. Each
chapter has a historian. And
out of the go historians, there
are % under Miss Towson,
all charged with the inspec-
ton, at least four times a
year, of % D. C. MileStones,
each one of which has been
placed in the keeping of one
of the % chapters.
