Lakewood Club Splits,
Judge Gets New Plea

The already tangled legal
affairs of Montgomery County's
Lakewood Country Club be-
came more confused yesterday
as a split in the membership
developed in District Court.
More than 260 members of
the club, represented by At
torney Don Gormley, asked
Judge Leonard P. Walsh to re-
quire a membership meeting to
provide a full and fair hear
ing" on proposals to solve the
clubs financial difficulties.
Mr.. Gormley referred to a
stormy meeting of 1900 of the
clubs 1900 members last week,
ending in the withdrawal by
an investment group of an Of
fer to take over operation of
the uncompleted club.
Judge Walsh, showing his
impatience, told Mr.. Gormley
lawyers representing the clubs
board of directors and the
club founders that he will mot
entertain any more proposals
unless good reasons are given
for them"
He said it appears his eff
fort to resolve the months
long court battle between the
board of directors and the club
founders was anything but
satisfactory" judging from the
outcome of last weeks meet
ing.
Evening star., 1961-11-10

The Judge said he had re-
ceived many letters" from club
members telling of their angry
reaction to the meeting at
which the investment group
headed by Warren Lockwood
withdrew its offer to put 81
million into bailing the club
out of its troubles.
Nevertheless, the judge de-
layed for the moment any de-
cision about allowing Mr..
Gormley's club-member clients
to intervene in the legal action.
Mr.. Gormley said his clients
merely want to bring the club
and the Lockwood investment
group back into negotiations.
He said his clients take no
position as to which is a better
proposal for helping the club.
Judge Walsh. emphasizing
he wants to get this case out
of court, said he had no objec-
ton to settlement being nego-
tiated of the original law suit
brought by the board of direc-
tors against the original club
founders.
Meantime. Vinton Lee, ap-
pointed by Judge Walsh as a
receiver to untangle the clubs
confused financial status, said
he will undertake a count to-
day of votes by members on
the board proposal and the
Lakewood proposal.
