Such instructors will be

At the end of the probation

Few Held Superior"
Superintendent Reid did not
indicate how many teachers
currently employed might be
considered unsatisfactory or
conditionally unsatisfactory, but
he said that a rating of "su-
perior" would be difficult to
achieve and estimated that not
more than Is per cent of the
instructors would qualify for it.

Better law enforcement is
one of IL major improvements
needed in Prince Georges
County, according to a survey
announced today by the Junior
Chamber of Commerce.
Added all-around police pro-
lection, more emphasis on jul
venile crime, and a stronger
effort against gambling and
liquor law violations are cited
in the results of a five-month
survey. It suggested new vice
laws may be necessary, and
that protection could be i'm
proved by eliminating town
police departments and vesting
all enforcement in the County
Police.
The survey was conducted in
500 missionaries mailed
throughout the County, accord
ing to William Kersey, first vice
president of the Junior Cham

but that 80 had to be discarded

Complaints compiled in the
survey will be investigated by

with recommendations issued
this summer.
Training Proposed
Mr.. Kersey said the IL def

were cited in a majority of
questionnaires returned. The
suggestions were that the SO
volunteer fire companies be put
under direct County control,
and that County and municipal
personnel undergo training in
courtesy and understanding
common public problems.
Other needs reported in the
majority of questionnaires were
for better management of the
County Jail, public swimming

BOARD STUDIES
DAYLIGHT TIME
Star Staff Writer

RICHMOND, Feb. 16. - A
five member subcommittee,
three of whose members are
believed to favor adoption of
daylight saving time, today was
considering conflicting bills
dealing with how Virginia shall
set its locks next summer.
After a tWo-and-a-half hour
public hearing by the House
General Laws Committee yes
terday, two of the four bills
appeared to be given the most
serious consideration.
House Bill 489, by Delegate
Russell M. Carneal of Williams
burg, would require daylight
time to be observed uniformly
throughout the State from the
last Sunday in April to the
last Sunday in October, along
with most other Eastern States.
House Bill 381 by Delegate
Tom Frost and As co-patrons,
would require standard time to
be observed uniformly through
out the year. 1t would nullify
the right of Arlington, Alex
andria, Fairfax and Falls
Church to change their clocks
with the Nations Capital.
Delegate Harrison Mann of
Arlington pleaded that the
Northern Virginia communities
be allowed to switch to day.
light time as they have for the
last IA years.
Freedom of Choice
1T is essential to U.S." he said.
1--WE would be in an extremely
difficult position to say the
least, if we had to remain on
standard time while the Dis
trict of Columbia was on day.
light.
Il want to make it very plain:
We do not attempt to force
daylight time on anyone else"
State Senator Charles R.
FenWick of Arlington made the
same point when he said, "It
is hard to imagine just what
would happen if our right (to
change to daylight is taken
away from us. We are only ask
ing that you leave us alone
what the rest of the State does
is entirely up to them"
He said the four Northern
Virginia communities now pay
about Is per cent of the States
income taxes and that not all
of the inhabitants there work
for the Federal Government;
many are in private industry.
Meet With Governor
"This will set us back ire
mendously," Mr.. F'enwick said,
land could do not only us but
the whole State much harm. :"
Earlier in the day, all of the
Democratic members of the
House and State Senate from
the four Northern Virginia
areas conferred with Gov. Har-
rison over the daylight time
problem. The only comment
they would make upon leaving
the Governors office was that
they had been given a "sympa-
thetic" hearing. The Governor,
talking with reporters la ter,
would say only that he recog-
nized that Northern Virginia
has a problem but stressed that
he stands on his original rec
ommendation that uniform
time be observed throughout
Virginia.

RICHMOND, Feb. 16 (AP).-,
Differences between the varying
factions of the Virginia Demo-
cratic Party broke into the open
on the floor of the Senate yes
terday.
A halfhour debate broke over
House resolution commencing
Virginia Representative Smith
and his House Rules Committee
for killing President Kennedy's
proposals for a new Department
of Urban Affairs.
Before the Senate concurred
28-5, the resolution was praised
as one more example Of Vir-
ginia's opposition to Federal
intervention in State affairs
and condemned as nothing
more than a slap at the Pres
ident by the Virginia party
which had failed to give him its
full support.
The debate was touched off
by Senator Harry F. Byrd, jr.,
who said he was not convinced
of the need for a new Federal
department and more Federal
employees to staff it. The idea
of creating the department has
become, land maybe it was in
tended to become, a political
football" he said.
Recall Backing Kennedy
Immediately several Senators
rose to comment that the reso-
luton went much further than
commencing Mr.. Smith and his
committee but really struck at
the President for proposing
creation of the department.
Several pointedly recalled
they had supported Mr.. Ken
nedy in the past election-an
obvious reference to the golden
silence" of Senator Harry F.
Byrd, leader of the dominant
conservative wing of the State
Democratic Party.

in child welfare, almost in a
state of shock.
This action" said Arlington
Delegate Harrison Mann, ire
turns us to the edge of sweat
shop exploitation of children by
irresponsible parents"
The amendment forced three
of the seven patrons of the bill,
including MI. Mann and Dele
gate William l.. Winston, also
of Arlington, to vote against its
passage. The amended bill was
passed IT to 20 yesterday.
AS originally introduced, the
measure was designed to allow
children to work outside of
school hours at any recreation
center owned and operated by
the State or a locality.
Routine Procedure
Introduced on February 2,
the bill, whose chief patron is
Delegate Louis RaWlS of SUI
folk, was unanimously reported
out of the Committee on Gen.
eral Laws earlier this week. 1t
was placed on the House cal
endar Wednesday and was
moved up for final passage in
routine manner yesterday.
Before the vote, Delegate
Robert R. Gwathmey of Han
over County, offered an amend
ment which excludes from the
child labor laws children IA
years of age or older, providing
they work outside of school
hours and with the permission
of their parents. The amend
ment specifies that the work
shall not be detrimental to
such child's health and morals. "
The question raised immedi-
ately by opponents of the
amendment was who would
decide what work is detri-
mental.
Delegate Toy D. Savage of
Norfolk, one of the patrons of
the bill, sprang to his feet and
inquired: Does not the gentle
man realize that for all prac-
tical purposes this would repeal
the child labor law that
it places the entire judgment
on the parents that we are
about to repeal these laws only
after three and a half minutes
considerations" Mr.. Gwathmey
said he did not think the
amendment would have that
effect.
Opposite Views
Delegate Roy Smith of
Petersburg asked Mr.. Savage,
Can you think of anybody
better able than the parents
to judge whether their children
shall work?"
"Of course that would be true
for a vast majority of parents, "
Mr.. Savage replied, but our
laws are not for them, they are
for irresponsible parents"
Delegate John C. Webb of
Fairfax, who voted for the bill,
said he did so because it makes
it easier for a child to be en-
ployed in a place that would
not be injurious to him. But I
think the amendment goes too
far and I intend to appear be-
fore the Senate committee with
amendments to restrict its ap-
plication."
Alexandria Delegate James
M. Thomson, who voted for the
amendment and the bill, said,
II think it is a much needed
change that should have been
made a long time ago.
Northern VirginianS who
voted against the bill were Dele
gates Mann, Winston and
Stone. Those voting for pas

The new president Of the

ty ripped into medical and hos

encouraging wasteful use of
hospital facilities - and there.

surance.
DR.. Earl E. Barth's remarks
were directed toward private
plans which pay for x-ray serv-
ices when a patient is hospita-
lized but not when he walks
into a clinic or pirate office for
the same services.
''If the patient has no medi-
cal indications for bed care, "
he said, "it seems unreasonable
to waste bed space and money
putting him in the hospital for
Pathological services"
But many patients do enter
hospitals for simple x-ray serv-
ices, the Northwestern Univer-
sity professor indicated because
then insurance pays for the
cost.
The patient thus gets the
service free" in the short run.
But in the long run. DR.. Barth
said, the insurance pays for
unnecessary bed care and other
services which must be passed
on in the form of higher in
