Montgomery
Delegation Gets
PIeu for Lows
BY WILLIAM DUKE
Star staff writer

Montgomery County's Repub-
lican controlled delegation to
the general assembly last night
was asked to return to the plan
ners powers taken away from
them during eight years of
Democratic rule.
The requests were contained
in a list of IA proposed new
laws presented to the recently
elected lawmakers by B. Hous-
ton McCeney, general counsel
of the Maryland-Nationa Cap
ital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Provoking the most discus
sion was the request to give
the commission zoning author
ity over land annexed by cities
and towns.
Our plans are worthless If
large tracts of land can escape
planning and coming authority
by becoming annexed" said j.
Newton Brewer, vice chairman
of the commission.
The annexation problem was
raised several months ago when
developers asked the town of
Poolesville to annex land which
would more than double its
present size. Planners claimed
1t was a move by the builders
to get the rezoning they need
ed from the towns planning
board after it had been denied
by the commission.
Two Others Considered
The move was defeated by a
vote of town residents. Other
annexation proposals, however,
are now being considered by
Rockville and Laytonsville.
The commissions proposal
was opposed last night by Har-
rison Howes, speaker for the
Citizens for Good Government,
the group controlling Rockville
city government.
Mr.. Howes said the proposed
law would be contrary to "home
rule concepts" and would not
be necessary as far as Rock
vile was concerned.
He said the city "has been
responsible" in annexing land,
and has even set the outer
limits past which the city will
not expand.
Delegate Charles S. Bresler
asked if the city would object
to a law giving it zoning au-
thority within the outer limits,
but granting the planning COM
mission power over any other
land annexed in the future.
State Senator Gilbert Guide
said the solution may be to
freeze the coming for several
years on any land annexed in
the future. Mr.. Howes said he
was not empowered by sthe
mayor or city council to answer
the questions.
Powers Go to County
Before the 1857 session of
the General Assembly, the
commission held this zoning
power over annexed land. The
law was changed by the Demo-
cratic delegation, which also
took from the commission
power to adopt subdivision
regulations and to approve road
grades. These powers we're
given to the county. and last
night the commission asked for
them back.
Austin Carlin, speaking for
the County Bar Association.
however, asked the lawmakers
to take powers from the COM
mission. He said the commits
Sion's control over building per-
mits should be eliminated, and
the planners should be re-
quired to act on preliminary
plans within 80 days.
Ramsey Wood, president Of
the Citizens Planning Associa-
ton, said his group wants laws
requiring a public hearing on
appointees to the planning and
the Washington Suburban
Commission. The group would
also like the County Council to
have power over master plans
and over extensions of water
and sewer lines he said

The Districts new color
photo license program will begin
February l, George England,
director Of the Department of
Motor Vehicles. said yesterday.
Mr.. England said a contract
has been awarded to Electro
Photo Corp. of San Marino,
Calf, to provide the photog-
raphy equipment and process
the pictures.
This company offered to do
the work for .1487889 cents per
picture, a fraction of a cent
lower than the is cent bid by
Dek Processes. Inc, Fort
Wayne, Ind.
Under the program, all new
applicants for licenses and
those seeking renewal of their
present District operators per-
mits will be required to have
their photograph taken at one
of three District locations.
Two Trailers
Mr.. England said that license
photographs will be taken at
the Department of Motor We
hicles office in the Municipal
Center during regular hours.
He added that these photos
also will be taken at two trailer
locations. One Of the trailers
will be near No. 6 Precinct on
Nicholson avenue between
Thirteenth and Fourteenth

Bond issues totaling $10.2
million are needed for hospital
expansion and road improve
ments. the Prince Georges
County Commissioners were
told yesterday.
A SIS million bond issue
would help finance construc-
tion Of a 200-bed addition to
the present 385-bed Prince
Georges General Hospital, ac-
cording to Harry w. Penn,
hospital administrator.
Medical and surgical bed oc-
cupancy averaged "a per cent,
while rs to 85 per cent is the
usual accepted optimum, Mr..
Penn said.
His program also calls for
construction Of a 50-bed nurs-
ing home and quarters for in
terms and residents. Psychiatric
care capacity would be in
creased from 20 to so beds, he
said.
So Million US. Aid
Road improvements would
require $50 million in bonds
plus 50 million in Federal aid
and 100000 from front-foot
assessments levied against
abutting property owners.
John H. Marburger, director
of public works, said the $7.S
million program would provide
improvements for Is miles of
roads during the next three
years.
Both Mr.. Penn and Mr.. Mar
burger submitted their pro-
posals in written reports to the
commissioners. They asked the
county heads to seek authority
from the General Assembly to
sell the bonds.
Mr.. Penn said there is an
average waiting list of five to
20 persons a day seeking ad-
mission to the hospital. Elec-
tive surgery has to be schedul-
ed at least two weeks in ad-
vance, he added.
Mr.. Penn said the program
should get help from Federal
and State agencies, such as
100000 aid for the $500, 900
nursing home.
Seek Right Entry
On the roads program, Mr..
Marburger asked for right-ef-
entry legislation that would
enable his department to start
working in areas still the sub
ject of court condemnation
proceedings.
Also needed is a revision 10
an existing law to enable the
county to tax abutting prop
erty owners without their con-
sent for road improvements
This would bring hte $500, 900
which residents could pay over
a l0-year period, Mr.. Mar
burger said.
The $7.8 million program
would complete Sheriff road
from Palmer highway to
Brightseat road, and the Tuck
er road bridge and approaches
to Henson Creek.
Projects Planned
Funds would be applied to
the following projects now on
drawing boards: Calvert road,
US. Route / to the Baltimore

Warren to Get Appeal
On Virginio Districtinq

80 you can see from this
vote the Governor added, that
the people of Virginia, through
their duly elected representa-
tives. have adopted what their
representatives believe to be
a fair, a just and eqitable
act
Not Just Mathematical
Population alone cannot be
the guideline in apportionment,
the Governor said. Virginia is
a large state with diversified
interests and characteristics,
therefore it is something more
than just a mathematical de-
termination
The court said that the
populous Northern Virginian
and Norfolk areas suffered
"invidious discrimination" un-
der the General Assembly's
reapportionment act.
But Gov. Harrison referred
to the votes by which both
bills-for representation in the
State Senate and House OF
Delegates - were passed by
overwhelming majorities.
In view of those votes, Gov
Harrison said, he does not feel
he should substitute his judg-
ment for the opinion of the
General Assembly.
Perhaps I would not have
drafted the laws as they were
passed perhaps mine would
have been worse" Gov. Har-
rison said. But / still feel the
acts were constitutional and
valid"
Republican Hits Move
The Governors move to ap-
peal was attacked by Robert ]
Gerber, Republican 10th district
chairman.

ator Charles Fenwick, Demo.

sons decision to appeal reap.

Hoyas were many points ahead
and obviously in complete con-
trol-even to the extent of sac
rificing easy shots to Slattery
to help him score.
Optimist though he might be,
O'Keefe is taking neither La
Sale nor st. Peters lightly.
While, he says. he never over
estimates an opponent. he never
underestimate one, either.
II saw LaSalle once this year.
They're really tough. They have
good size and are good shoot
ers."
LaSalle comes to town with a
1919 record and two straight
losses after a five-game win
ming streak. 1t scored a one
point victory over St. Joseph's
before losing to Lafayette by
four and to Villanova. $3.50,
Saturday. 1t has lost to Niagara,
which Georgetown beat, and
won over Manhattan, which
beat Georgetown. st. Joseph's
also topped the Hoyas, 81-70.
Both teams beat Fordharl by
four points.
From this they appear evenly
matched.

George Washington and
Davidson, which have met only
once this basketball season
clash again at 2 pm. tomorrow
IN the opening game of the
Southern Conference tourna-
ment at Richmond Arena. As
far as CIV is concerned, the
5,000-seat plant will not be ex-
actly a neutral court.
Richmond Arena was the site
Of the Colonials' unbeliev-
able sweep of the champion
ship tournament year ago,
but this season has spelled
nothing but trouble. They
dropped three straight games
in the arena last December
7l-68 to the University of Rich
mond, 1857 to Virginia Mill
tary and 90-66 to Richmond
again. The latter two games
were in the Richmond Invi-
rational Tournament.
On the other hand, David
son won its only test at Rich
mond. $3.50, three weeks ago
and is not the same outfit
~,ich lost to CIV at Fort Myer
months earlier. George
washington romped over the
Wildcats. 95-77. to administer
one of the six successive losses
with which they started the
campaign.
Davidson recovered from that
horrible start to win IL games
in a row and is one of four
teams carrying a plus record
l4-1O into the trounament.
Coach Bill Reinhart of CIV
hasn't seen the Wildcats since
they played here. "They have
pretty much the same habits -
he says, dismissing the value
Of a recent scouting report.
However, Bill Jarman appar-
emily has cooled off a mite.
,Jarman, a 6-foot-6 junior
center, scored his season high
of--39 points at Fort Myer as he
converted an amazing % of q
foul shots. OF GW's 26 personal
fouls that night, II were
against Jarman.

ule with a 21.2 average and g.

Hoyos StoyWith Seniors
For Last Two Games

Bob Sharpenter, Paul Tagliabue
Jim Carrino, Vince Wellington
and Dan Slattery.
They'll all share a major por-
ton of the duties when George
town attempts to improve on
its 1873 record.
Should the Hoyas win these
last two they would at least
equal the l4-7 log recorded by
the 1928 squad, the last
Georgetown team to play in the
National Invitation Tourna-
ment.
Sacrificed Shots
O'Keefe strikes an optimistic
chord in discussing George
towns winning prospects.
ION any given night think
we can play with anybody"
he said. For a couple OF min
utes against Rhode Island Sat-
urday the boys played better
than they have all year."
The few minutes O'Keefe
spoke of occurred when the

Changed Luck Clouds
GW's Bow in Tourney

Haywood Evans and 60 D. G.
Martin, who have taken over
from the trio which started the
previous CIV games Lyman
Dillon, Danny Carroll and AL
Millar.
The Colonials also will pre-
sent a lineup different from
that which faced Davidson the
first time. Mickey Checkan
gained eligibility at midsea-
son and has averaged 1874 points
in eight games, which ranks
behind Jon Feldman's 21.9 fig
ure and Joe Adamitis' 1913.
Reinhart is expected to start
Gar Schweickhardt and Jeff
Feldman in the other two posi-
tons.
CIV has improved on last
years season record, 8-14 this
time compared to 6-16 a year
ago and has drawn probably
an easier assignment in the
opening round. The Colonials
nipped Virginia Tech, 84-83,
then beat The Citadel, 94-87,
and William & Mary, 1892, for
the title in 1861.
However, If they get by David
son tomorrow. the route to a
repeat championship figures to
get much more rugged. West
Virginia is heavily favored to
win over Richmond and meet
the GW-Davidson survivor in
the first semifinal Friday
night.
VPI and The Citadel meet in
the second game at 4 pm. to-
morrow, West Virginia and
Richmond tangle at 1885 and
Furman and VMI at $50.

DR.. Lord pointed out that the
average life expectancy in
Czechoslovakia and Russia is
about the same as in the United
States.
In Moscow he found the Rus.
slams don't have our problem of
sheer overwhelming numbers"
of old people because of the
mass slaughter of World War
II and because the Soviet CAPT.
tai attracts young people.
OF Moscow's seven million, he
was told, only 1900 are over
IS.
He was struck by the Rus
slams "strong and humane feel
ing" for their aged.
In general, however, he found
that, whereas the socialistic
countries admitted that isolat-
ing the aged from the commu.
nifty was a mistake, the COM
munist countries did not.
1T is bad when old people di-
lutte the strength of a commu-
nity," communist doctors told
him.
These aren't cucumbers you
are talking about; these are
people, he replied.
He was impressed favorably
by the bad bureau" of Den
mark and Sweden, whereby the
doctor calls a central exchange
to get his patient admitted to
the first available hospital bed.
But of all the countries he
visited, Norway impressed him
the most. A small population
(about 3.5 million) in a large
country makes for the small de-
centralized aging facilities of
the type he favors.
In addition, Norway's short.
age of doctors often causes the
public health physician to dou.
BILE in brass as treating physician
as well and this inclines him
to do a better job"
DR.. Lord said his trip gave
me the courage of my convic-
tons" to get the elderly back

families as much as possible.
