Under its terms, the associa-
ton would have indorsed a bill
imposing a six months license
revocation on drivers refusing
to submit to police administered
drunk driving chemical tests.
10 r. Giordano, an at
torney who handles many traf-
fic cases in Municipal Court,
said SO per cent of those
charged with driving while
intoxicated are convicted, con-
trasting this with a mere so
per cent conviction rate against
those charged with felony Of
fenSeS.
In discussing the rule change
of the Montgomery County
Court relating to practice of
District lawyers, association
member Gerald v. Morgan, jr.,
pointed out that the aSsocia-
ton has asked the District
Court to change its rule so that
any lawyer who has an office
in the Metropolitan Washing
ton Area may practice in Dis
trict Court.
The District Court in recent
months started to enforce its
present rule requiring that
lawyers 'practicing before the
court must have an office in
the District. The Montgomery
Court action, affecting 400 law
Tyers who have been practicing
in the county but do not have
offices there, came in counter
action to the enforcement of
the District Court rule.

Need Questioned
The opposition to the resolu-
ton was led by James H. Hell
Ter, who cautioned the mem
bership to exercise "self-re-
straint," adding that he did
not feel that any need had
been shown to ask such ques-
tionS.
However, Mr.. Vozeolas point
ed out that the association it
self already asked such ques-
tionS of those seeking to Join
the organization and he
claimed that there had already
been judicial and legislative

Party is not a political party
but a "conspiratorial junta."
The debate then took a diff
ferent turn with charges Of
witch hunting" and busy
body" activity on the part of
the association being thrown
by one side, while the other
side - those supporting the
resolution - expressed shocked
surprise at such charges.
The resolution was not adopt

THE AMERICANS had an
odd assortment of weapons.
One was a 50-milimeter
machine gun that had been
removed from the wreckage
of a plane. When that got
into action it eliminated the
Japanese gun crew. The shot
that took away the mast was
the last shot from the field
gun.
There was a bazooka but
only five rockets. The rest
were in the other junk. But
four of the five took their
toll. A 1914 Lewis machine
gun was brought into play.
But the lethal weapon in this
final naval battle of a war,
in which the fleets never
sighted one another in the
decisive conflict of Midway,
was a hand grenade.
The leading American junk
crossed so close to the Japa-
nese junk that a grenadier
pulled the pin and with for
ward-paSs accuracy threw it
into an open hatch. 1t caused
carnage among the japanese
huddled below.
In the end the junks came
rail to rail and were made
fast. The Americans and
their Chinese guerrillas
boarded but there was little
resistance. Forty-nine Jap
aneSe were dead. None of the
few Americans was killed or
wounded but eight of their
Chinese guerillaS were killed
and Is wounded.

3 Master Plans
Late in Delivery
To Sanitary Bourd

The Montgomery County.
Council yesterday was sharply
critical of the lack of CO.
ordination" between the county
planners and the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
The criticism came on the
heels of joint meeting Mon
day night of the council and
WSSC officials on a proposed
five-year plan for sewer and
water lines which is under con-
sideration by the council.
THE Sanitary Commission
staff told US that they had not
received three master plans put
out by the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning
Commission until a builders
conference long after the plans
were published" council mem
ber Mrs. Stella B. Werner said.
This is very concrete weak
ness"
Councilman David L. Cahoon
commented: 1T is a most
significant and serious problem
which makes it difficult to-
achieve an implementation of
policy"
County Manager Urged
Stanley B. Frosh, another
member, described the lack of
coordination as "a shining ex-
ample of why the planning
staff should be under the con-
troll of the county manager"
Mrs. Werner said Monday
nights conference with the
WSSC brought out that the
sanitary commission had made
its five-year plan for extern
sions of water and sewer lines
without consulting the plan
ming commissions master
plans for three areas-the Rock
Creek, Gaithersburg and the
Northwest Branch watershed.
In other business, the council
set a hearing date for 2 pm.
october 10 on a proposal to
require automatic sprinkler
systems in hospitals and nurs-
ing homes with a capacity of
more than Is beds.
The amendment to strength
en- fire safety requirements
came as the result of a nursing
home fire in the District last
year in which seven bed-ridden
patients died.
New Zone Proposed
The council also received al
proposal for a new zoning regu-
lation, providing for an entire
planned community within a
single zone, suggested by a
community within a single
zone, suggested by a committee
on open spaces.
Delegate Blair Lee III, who
also is the committee chair
man, described the proposal as
a compromise among the mem
berS, who had spent many
months studying the problem.
He urged the council to set a
date for a public hearing.
The object of the new zone
would be to plan an entire
community, including homes,
schools and shopping facilities,
in an area which would be CO.
ordinated with master plans.

Accommodations Bill. He said it
for passage of the Public
would eliminate a source of
embarrassment that greatly
damages our relations with not
only the neutral nations of the
world, but many nations which
are stoutly with us in the fight
for freedom"
Mr.. Sanjuan has led the
campaign in the Kennedy
administration to eliminate
discrimination against AAfrican
and Asian diplomats in the
United States. especially in the
Washington area.
Four African ambassadors
recently were "humiliated" by
private restaurant owners in a
period of two weeks on Route
40 in Maryland. he recalled.
Results Damaging
when an American citizen
Ihumiliates a foreign repre-
sentative or another American
citizen for racial reasons" Mr..
Sanjuan declared, "the results
can be just as damaging to his
country as the passing of secret
information to the enemy"
Since Soviet Premier Khru-
shchev first taunted the United
States for it's racial discrimina-
ton in last September's United
Nations session, Mr.. Sanjuan
reported, "the Communist
countries at the United Nations
have been pressing this point
in order to win the support Of
the large bloc Of uncommitted
nations. The Communists
have been making headway,
and each day we come closer
and closer to the vote which
will move the United Nations
out of New York and out Of
the United States because the
United States does not uni
formly recognize the equality
and the dignity of all nations
and all peoples as is guar
anteed by the Charter of the
United Nations"
Maryland is an especially
sensitive area in discrimina-
ton against diplomats. MIR.
Sanjuan observed, because it
lies along the automobile route
between the Nations Capital
and the United Nations head
quarters. Ill
Incidents Likely
1T is here, as statistics prove,
that the majority of these Incl
dents are likely to take place in
spite Of your desegregated
schools or the Governors Man
sion, where visitors are welcome
regardless of their color" he
said.
Maryland is getting IAN un-
deserved reputation for back
wardneSS," the State Depart
ment protocol officer warned,
because the law in Maryland
permits discrimination in places
of public accommodation"
Among the many speakers
urging support of the public
accommodations bill was Wood

HE SPENT a year and a
half in China behind the
Japanese lines aiding Chi
neSe guerrillas.
Did he ever acquire amoe-
bic dySentery?
NO" he said, "they warn
ed me that If I ate this and
that it would kill me, but I
was never healthier in my
life"
He was operating inland
south of Shanghai.
Did he learn the Ian
guage?
He said that he gained
some knowledge Of it but
that the difficulty was this:
you would travel five miles
across a line Of hills and you
would find that your Chin
ese could not understand
the Chinese on the other
side"
He 1ninimized the risks.
'sT'he Japanese had the
ports and the villages" he
said @But you would walk a
long way in the hills before
you would come upon one"
On August 20, 1945, six
days after the cease-fire, he
was in command Of two
Chinese junks taking guerril-.
las to Shanghai.
He didn't consider himself
an admiral or the two junkS
q task force. Except for
weather he anticipated no
incidents on the way. The
weather was good. A little too
good for the junks which are
/, very heavy and need ia
vorable wind to fill their sails.
But they came upon a
Chinese junk that was acting
strangely. 1t was bearing
down on them. The deck was
crowded with Japanese SOL
diers. 1t was doubtful that the
Japanese commander was
aware that the war was over.
But there was no doubt about
one thing. The men in the
bow were preparing to fire a
three-inch field piece.
Fortunately they had no
gyroscope to correct the roll
ing Of their ship. The first
shot fell short. But the sec
ond took off the foremast
Of the leading American
junk. Small arms fire killed
the two Chinese helmsmen
and a third was handling the
mainsheet on the second
American junk.
