BALTIMORE, May "a (AP)
Opponents of Maryland's saw

to have collected enough sigma
lures to force the bill to ref

Sources close to the Trenton
Democratic Club, headquarters
for political leader James H

They were said to be trying

Meanwhile, Saul A. Harris
States attorney for Baltimore

Area Group
Asks Mental
Hospital

RICHMOND, May "a (AP)
"A Northern Virginia delega-
ton went before the State Cap
ital Outlay Study Commission
today seeking funds for a 100
bed mental hospital to serve the
growing Washington suburban
area.
The delegation, which in
cluded four General Assembly
members, urged the commiS-
sion to provide the money for
the hospital, which was de-
scribed as one of the areas
most pressing needs.
State Senator Charles r.
Fenwick of Arlington told the
commission, now formulating
a State capital outlay program
for the next six years, that a
10-acre site has been provided
for the proposed facility at no
cost to the State.
Senator Fenwick said the
site is adjacent to the new
Fairfax County Hospital.
He said the hospital would
be -self-sustaining and would
pay its own way. The hospital.
proposed as similar to the De
Jarntte Sanatorium, near
Staunton, would save the tax
payers money because it would
return patients to the COM
munity as useful citizens, Sen
ator Fenwick said.
Delegate James M. Thomson
of Alexandria said the cost fig
ure for the proposed hospital "iS
rather fluid" until the State
approves the location near the
Fairfax Hospital. He suggested
that perhaps preliminary costs
could be included first and
then the funds for the con-
struction could come later in
the six-year period.
Commission staff members
said such a hospital could cost
around 100000.
Delegate Kathryn H. Stone
of Arlington, cited population
studies she said showed the
Northern Virginia area would
have more than l9 per cent of
the States population by 1870.
Mrs. Stone said the hospital
would draw from Alexandria,
Arlington, Fairfax, Falls
Church, Prince William and
Loudoun Counties, and perhaps
as far away as Winchester.
Delegate Dorothy s. .McDiar-
mid Of Fairfax, brought the
concerted wish from the peo-
pie of my area" for such a hos
pital.

Supervisors
Asked to Buy
Madeira Plat

The Fairfax County Demo-
cratic Committee last night
unanimously urged the board
Of supervisors to reconsider its
action against putting up
money to buy part of the Ma
deria School property for park
land.
The committee said it be-
lieves the county should buy
the 160 acres of land to enlarge
the county's park program,
Congress has set aside $780,
600 which was supposed to have
been matched by Fairfax
County, but the supervisors
twice rejected the proposal,
with only Chairman Anne Will
kins favoring the purchase.
Arlington Delegate Kathryn
Stone, meanwhile, has appealed
to Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican Of Virginia, urging
him to do what he can in be-
half Of purchase of the Madeira
School property.

mittee, Endorsed three prospec-
tive candidat es for the
planning board. The associa-
tion said the three, Louis Juste-
ment, Washington architect,
Harold Knapp. Germantown
scientist, and Lathrop Smith
Boyds farmer, would help to
give the board a new perspec-
tive.
Formal applications for the
job were received yesterday
from two applicants. Mr.. Juste-
ment and Bernard D. Gladhill,
a Damascus businessman.
A third applicant, William
Sher, Silver Spring real estate

if J. Newton Brewer, jr., is not
available for the job. Mr.,
Brewer, whose term on the
board expires next month, pre-
viously announced his wish to
be reappointed.
The planning association also
charged that the present board
has failed so far to produce
any comprehensive plan for the
county and even now is being
dragged only reluctantly toward
the preparation of such a plan.
In addition, Mr.. CreShkoff
said, "the board has uncon-
cernedly allowed the wasteful
and random proliferation OF
subdivision to take its own
course Gin the upper county,
and has rebuffed suggestions
that steps should be taken to
control it,"

Alexandria has moved a step
closer to launching its annexa-
tion attempt against Fairfax

The city council last night
ordered an engineering survey
to determine the metes and
bounds of the 23.6-square-mile
sickle-shaped county area to be

The survey would be in

The target area outlined last
night is 3.4 square miles small
er than the area announced
earlier by the council. The re-
duction was revealed after the
