Congress. the Board of Re-

have been asked to take ac-
tion to prevent the National
Geological Park here from be-
coming a second-rate municipal
zoo.
A 20-page report, published
by the Friends of the National
Zoo, contended the root of the
problem is that the cost of
the Zoo is borne by the peo-
pie of a single city, not by the
people of the United States.
Though administered by the
Smithsonian Institution, Zoo
operating funds come from the
District budget.

Votes to Aid
Hospital

Arlington yesterday agreed
to help buy a 10-acre tract
| for a Northern Virginia mental
hospital.
The County Board asked
other Jurisdictions to join in
purchasing the land adjacent
to the new Fairfax County
General Hospital which will
begin receiving patients in
January.
The site will cost $4,000.
Arlington's share has been esti-
mated at $7,777.
The General Assembly in
1858 authorized establishment
of a mental hospital in North
ern Virginia provided land for
it is made available at no cost
to the State.
The State Hospital Board
and the Capital Outlay Com
mittee must approve the prof.
ect before the Legislature ap-
propriates funds for it.
The 100-bed hospital would
be designed primarily for vol
untary patients likely to re-
spond quickly to treatment.
In another action, the board
requested additional informa-
ton about the county's real
estate reassessment policy.

For 5000 Police
Commissioners
ToAwuit Filling
Of Vacancies
BY ]. THEODORE CROWN
Star stan Writer

The District Commissioners
have shelved a request by po-
lice officials to ask Congress to
raise the departments author
lied strength to 5000.
The Commissioners decided,
instead, that they will take an
other look at the request if the
department is able to fill pres
ent vacancies on the force.
This decision BY the Com
missioners backs q recommen-
dation by the budget Office.
Last month. police officials
asked the Commissioners to
oyerrtlle their budget aides and
push for a force of 5000 men.
The departments plea for
the fiscal year beginning next
July l would cost close to $1.2
million. mainly for money to
add 266 policemen to the force.
The budget Offices proposal
was for only enough funds to
pay for 100 additional men on
a nine-month basis. The theory
was that it would take three
months to recruit the men.
This proposal repeatedly was
Endorsed by the Commissioners
instead of the requested in
crease to 5000 men.
At that time, there were 1T
vacancies in the departments
authorized strength of 2.714. In
addition to the 266 men, the
department asked for 10 men
for the accident investigation
unit and another 10 to staff a
patrol wagon.
In reaching the budget deci-
sion, the Commissioners report
edly felt that the city would
have a tough time getting the
item through Congress wits the
vacancies untitled.

areas in the Eastern part of

reported yesterday that this
special drive is paying of.
If the vacancies are filled
soon, it is expected that the
Commissioners will then seek
congressional approval for the
larger force with a supple

II, in days to come, the Ma
ton comes face to face with
paintings Of blue trees by a
Washington artist. their origin
can be traced to a recent Sat-
urday morning in a remote
corner of the Corcoran Art
Gallery.
"Is there anything wrong
with the tree in this SKETCH"
an instructor asked, pointing
to landscape she had just fin
ished in blue pastel.
There was no reply from the
group seated on benches in a
half-moon around her. But
they watched with quizzical ex-
pressions, obviosuly eager to
give the right answer yet un-
able to grasp what she meant.
"All right, then. How many
OF you have ever seen a blue
tree?" she asked.
Again there was no audible
reply-just lot Of heads wig
wagging mo-" But one little
hand toward the back Of the
group shot skyward.
Donna" the teacher asked,
have you?"
"Yes. When we were on q
Sunday School picnic" replied
a tiny brunei pixie who was
wearing one of her fathers
shirts. backwards, as a smock.
She didn't know what kind it
was. she said, but it sure. was
blue.
ut was blue all over" she
added.
ut doesn't make any differ
ence what kind it was" the
teacher told her. IF you saw
it and it looked blue to you
that's the important thing and
If you want to paint blue trees I
if that is the way you see
them-then you go right ahead
and paint blue trees no matter
what anyone says"
Blue All Over
And that's just what 7-year-
old Donna did.
But not all the children in
this particular class, youngest |
among the 500 who come to the
Corcoran Gallery every Satur-
day morning for three hours of
instruction, were as serious
about their art as Donna.
While she labored away at her
blue trees. other expressed their
individuality in other ways.
A boy, almost as big as the
teacher. ignored instructions to
draw leaves and trees. He con-
centrated on a man moving
grass and produced a picture
that resembled the work of Ber-
nard Buffet, a Frenchman who
paints dark, stark angular fig
ures. A bright-eyed blond did
q landscape and embelliShed it
with a woman and a purple |
house. One boy concentrated
on shining a large campaign
button pinned to his shirt and
ignored his sketch pad.
Down the hall, a class for
8-year-olds was supposed to be
concentrating on a still life of
a bowl of flowers, some fruit
and empty bottles.
Why Football?
But a lad with glasses and
a crewcut bopped his buddy
on the next bench who had
tried to decorate him with
charcoal mustache; blond
with bangs jabbed a stubby
finger in the ribs of the girl
next to her and she in turn
almost fell off her bench with
laughter; a boy in paint

Court Indicates
Custer Of Suit
To Redistrict
Judge Believes
Problem Is One
For Legislature
BY PAUL HOPE
Star Stan Writer


Circuit Court Judge o. Bowie
Duckett indicated today that
he will throw out a suit filed
by the Maryland Committee
for Fair Representation seek
ing reapportionment of the
State legislative seats.
Judge Duckett said there Ii
no question that the State
Legislature is "malapportioned'
but he indicated he felt it is
a legislative rather than q
judicial matter.
After hearing arguments or
a motion by the defendants
to dismiss the case, Judge
Duckett said:
"The facts are clear-we
must concede there is NAL.
apportlonment here. But We
can't get away from the cases
which hold that this is a politi.
cal question and not one fol

ment for that Of the legisla.
ture.
Issues Called Political
These dssues) all are polit.
ical questions passed to the
Legislature by the constitution
It seems to me that the cases
cited by the Attorney General
representing the defendants
are controlling. But I'm going
to read the cases carefully
before I make a final decision
on the case"
Alfred l.. Scalan, attorney
for the Committee for Fair
Representation, argued that
the courts are the only places
the under-represented areas
can turn for relief.
1T is absolutely futile to look
to the legislative arena" Mr.
Scanlan said. He cited many
attempts to get the Maryland
Legislature to approve consti-
tutional amendments that
would give the metropolitan
areas more representation in
the Legislature.
Mr.. Scanlan, who lives in
Montgomery County, said it is
outrageous" that the four
suburban counties and Balti-
more City should have only "a
per cent Of the State Senate
membership and 20 per cent OF
the House of Delegates men,
bership while having rs per
cent Of the States population.
Injunction Asked
He asked that the court issue
an Injunction against State
election officials, restraining
them from holding an election
under the present system. He
conceded that the court sis
without power to compel" the
State Legislature to act. but he
said that. II the court issued an
injunction against holding an
election. the Legislature would
soon get to its constitutional
duty" and pass a reapportion-
ment measure.

attorney general, said the de-
