basis of its tactfully treated
little jest.
What happens is that the
French mistress turns out to
be % and looks like Brigitte
Bardot, but with the redeem
ing merits of being a very
proper, qualified teacher from
a small provincial town. The
jeerS with which both faculty
and student body were pre-
pared to greet her turn to
cheers at first sight.
Treatment Honest
All that follows is not
merely honest but is treated
with all the tact and polish
that a cast of England's best
farceurs can give to the films
subject.
Even more startling In its
witty lifelikeness and far
more comprehensive in its
treatment Of the relations
between the sexes is Love
and the Frenchwoman." This
title is sheer 1--WE almost said
''pure") Bardot yet it bears
not the faintest resemblance
to any of those best-selling
wares of the French film in
dustry.
What the picture deals
with is seven ages, or phases,
OF love starting with an ut
terly charming one in which
a little girl forces her be-
fuddled parents to the COM
promise explanation that ba-
bies come from cabbages.
This sequence, which is both
amusing and touching, is fol-
lowed by another in which an
adolescent girl is suddenly
beset, she knows not why,
with an impulse to kiss boys
she happens to like.
The comparatively young
parents of this small flirt
are even more panicked than
those Of the first episode,
especially when they cannot
remember just how they
themselves behaved at their
daughters age. The denou-
ment could not be more Gal
lically wise and witty, a scene
in which the girl easily and
indifferently acquiesces with
her mothers suggestion that
she abandon kissing for a
while.

Suicide Attempt
Frustrated by
Fellow Workers

An apparent attempt at sui
eide by a 33-year-old civilian en-
ploye of a military base near
Rockville was thwarted early
Tuesday by two fellow en-
ployes, according to Montgom-
cry County police.
The two employees, en- route
to work at the Nike installa-
ton, saw the man slumped in
his automobile around 2:30 am,
and on investigation found a
hose running from the exhaust
pipe into rear window. Police
said they removed the victim
from the automobile and
brought him to Rockville, where
the city rescue squad took him
to Suburban Hospital
Although the victim was adj
mitted to the hospital, police
said, he apparently had breathed
little of the poisonous monoxide
gas at the time he was discov-
cred. He was brought to Rock
vile and sent on to the hospi-
tai primarily for his own pro-
lection, according to police.

County's First Sewage Lagoon
Proposed for Housing Project

colored slides of a number Of
sewage lagoons inspected by
local and Prince Georges county
authorities in Kansas City,
where the device has been used
effectively. They said they
found the device has been used
effectively. They said they found
the lagoons to be virtually free
of odor, mot unsightly" anc APP
parently unobjectionable to resi-
dents of nearby homes.
In response to a question
from Mrs. Stella B. Werner,
member of the council, a sani-
tary commission representative
said the effluent from the
lagoons was "just as pure as the
effluent that comes from Blue
Plains" He referred to the
District of Columbia's sewage
treatment plant.
In accepting the request for
consideration, council members
gave little indication of their
reaction to the proposal.

would, of course, go first to the
metropolitan counties which
are now badly under-represent
ed in Annapolis.
An important feature of the
committee proposal is provision
for regular reapportionment by
the legislature after each fed
eral census. If the legislature
fails to act, however, the duty
would pass to the Secretary OF
State. The amendment would
also be enforceable by judicial
review to prevent future NAL
apportionment as a result of in,
action.
The committe reiterated its
opposition to the Walsh Plan de.
feated by the legislature last
year. This proposal would have
given token representation to
growing areas but made no real
attempt to establish a popula.
ton basis for representation,
and did not provide for regular
adjustment. The committee con
tends that all new seats created
by the Walsh plan would be
used by 1870, leaving out al
least two deserving smaller
counties which have been ex.
periencing ra pid population
growth.

unequal senate representation
may have been tolerable in
Maryland's past, the new
growth in population makes i'm
perative the extension of popu-
lar representation to the SEN
ate. Thirty-seven states, the
committee pointed out, require
consideration of population in
the Senate as well as the House.
Twenty states base senate rep
resentation on population alone.
While the committees plan
would not Immediately require
an increase in Senate member
ship to account for population
growth, the group argued that
an increase to so members
would help ease the transition
from the present inequitable
system to one based more near
ly on population. If the Senate
were raised to so members, for
instance, each county would
still receive one Senator.
The populous counties would
receive from one to three more
senators each, but all other
counties could share an addi-
tional senator, running at large
among two to five counties.
Thus, while Allegany County
would lose a seat in the House
of Delegates, Allegany and Gar
rett together would elect a
third Senator. Washington
County would lose one delegate,
but elect a second Senator. Har-
ford and Cecil would retain all
their delegates and probably
gain additional House seats
after the 1870 census. Together
they would share election of a
third senator. Other groups of
counties which could share an
additional senator under the
committee plan are: Frederick,
Carroll and Howard; Kent,
Queen Anne's, Talbot, Caroline
and Dorchester; Charles, Cal
vert and st. Mary's; and Wico-
mico, Somerset and Worcester.
II the House were increased
to $50 members, as urged in the
report, the following smaller
counties would each gain one
delegate by the 1866 elections:
Charles, st. Mary's, Howard and
Caroline. Cecil, Hartford and
Washington Counties would
probably gain a delegate each in
1870. Frederick and Dorchester
Counties would each lose two
delegates, and Allegany County
would lose one. No other coun-
ties would lose delegates. The
bulk of the increase in delegates
