A farm tenant house at Lay
louisville, Md. was badly dam
aged yesterday by a fire which
apparently started from a
woodworking stove in the
kitchen. Montgomery County
fire officials reported.
Fire Inspector Edward Coch-
ran said the blaze burned out
the interior of the two-story
frame dwelling on Dorsey road,
just south of the Montgomery,
County community, about IL
pm. He estimated the damage
at about $4,000.
The house was part of the
Dick White farm and was oc-
cupied by Merrill Lynn and his
family. No one was home at
the time.
Two Laytonsville firemeA
Pvt. Pete Ayton and 1t. MelvA
Nichols, were treated at TIN

Firemen from Gaithersburg
also responded to the call.

MIR. KENNEDY decided to

grin, when he found sit was
a way of annoying people you
like to annoy"
In defense of boards, the
Com m and r said George
Bernard Shaw had the best
excuse. 1t was the reason
Mr.. Shaw grew a beard and
the reason Mr.. Shaw'S father
before him grew one. When
he was 5 years old, he
watched his father shaving
one day and asked him why
he shaved.
His father thought, Why
the hell do To- and threw the
razor out the window" said
the Commander.
Mr.. KennedyS beard had
been so long untouched
because, at the time of his
car accident, May Z, he was
already late for his two-week
haircut and trim. He put
off calling the barber out to
his Alexandria home until he
was feeling better.
He looked in the mirror
and was satisfied with the
new look. The Commander
was reaSSuring with cit will

plauded the beard trim but,
unlike the Commander, said,
IT wish he'd had some more
taken off his head. He still
looks like a broom turned
upside down."

General Assembly may be re-
.quired if the court sustains the
arguments made by the four
Northern Virginia legislators
who filed the suit.
In it, they ask that the court
declare the last redistricting
act passed by the legislature
unconstitutional on the grounds
that it does not award a fair
representation to urban areas.
Mr.. Campbell dismissed as
silly reports that the legislators
have lost enthusiasm for legal
efforts to require reapportion-
ment.
ION the contrary, the de-
cisionS already entered by other
Federal courts encourage us to
believe that relief will be pro-
vided in this case. We intend
vigorously to prosecute the
suit" he said.

Senator Byrd's request after

A request for six new jobs in
the landlord-tenant consultant
service that helps families dis
placed by District rules or
projects brought criticism from
Senator Allott, Republican of
Colorado, who said helping
families find a place to live
was not a government function
at all. You mean they don't
know how to find a place TO
live?" he asked Mr.. Shea.

ply, yes sir, I do mean that"
Mr.. Allott declared, "You keer

Judgeship Delay
Shocks Matthias

Representative Matthias, Re-
publican of Maryland, told the
House today he was disturbed
and shocked" by the Kennedy
administrations long delay in
appointing two additional ju-
venile court judges for the Dis
trict.
He noted that the backlog
in juvenile court cases has in
creased to 1900 as compared
to $500 last March.
1.-THE administration has
been delaying too long in max
ing the appointments" he de-
clared. II can't believe it has
been necessary to wait five
months to find two qualified
nominees for the additional
judgeships on that court"

City Heads Ask
Comparison Of
Renewal Rules

The District Commissioners
today asked for a special study
of other cities to see whether
they impose stricter coming
and housing regulations to
complete urban renewal prof.

Commissioner Walter N. To-
briner requested the survey
after the city was asked to per-
init the Redevelopment Land
Agency to put in more strin-
gent requirements after the
Northeast Redevelopment area
is completed.
District urban renewal and
licensing officials told the
commissioners that present
regulations in the city code
are sufficient.
Mr.. Tobriner then asked for
the special study.
The Northeast Redevelop-
ment project area lies between

DR.. Samuel Shwartz said the
list was obtained by the bu-
reau from the Food and Drug
Administration today. The bu-
reau chief said the number
Of physicians receiving the
drug here was nearly twice a,
large as he expected.
The drug was supplied to the
local physicians for investiga.
tional use. Under study since
1859, the drug was withdrawn
by the manufacturer last
March Food and Drug agents
are currently checking to see
that all physicians returned
their supplies to the manufac-
turer, the William S. Merrell
Co.. or destroyed them.
Women taking the drug dur
ing early pregnancy have given
birth to malformed infants in
Europe, where the drug was
widely sold. Several cases of
malformations have turned up
in the United States after the
mothers took the drug in Eu-
rope or after a friend or rela-
tive brought it into the United
States.
None Of the malformations
reported in the United States
to date have resulted from the
drugs use by the 1900 physi-

Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea today gave the Senate
District appropriations sub
committee a reduced estimate
Of the cost of extending relief
to children Of the unemployed
here.
Mr.. Shea said a special study
conducted to determine costs
showed that the number of
families who would be eligible
was smaller than originally
assumed.
He reduced the previous esti-
mate of $842, 900 to $745, O5O
for a program for an average of
1000 families effective October
/.
Mr.. Shea also told the sub
committee headed by Senator
Byrd, Democrat of West Vir-
GINA, that the department be-
lieves the number of overall
public assistance cases during
this fiscal year. will be reduced
to 1871. The cost is expected
to be $6,189,610, which is $429,-
937 below the amount made
available by the House.
Allo,US for Decreases
Allowing for these decreases,
and a reduced estimate for the
burial fund, Mr.. Shea said an
additional amount of only
$302,588 would be needed to
give relief to the children of
unemployed. This is an extern
sion of the Aid to Dependent
Children program, which covers
youngsters whose fathers are
dead, absent or incapacitated.
Senator Byrd and his sub
committee members spent most
of the morning looking into
staff increases proposed in the
welfare budget.
Mr.. Byrd inquired in detail
as as to the duties of a man
agement analyst who would
have a GS-13 rating and a
salary of $11,572 a year.
Mr.. Shea said the analyst
would seek ways to cut down
paper work to allow social
workers to spend more time in
the field. This is a national
problem, and the position
would more than pay for itself
in the long run, Mr.. Shea said.
Seeks Seven Positions
The department is seeking
seven new positions under the
office of the director at a cost
of $85,827. There are A en-
ployes there now.

about rs degrees, but the wind
was chilly and there were
choppy waves to contend with, -
Mr.. Bryant said. I'VE were
hanging on to pilingS about 40
feet apart SO that we could
barely make out the outlines

There was no danger of
anyone falling asleep. We kept
hollering at each other about
every five minutes during the
night. Sometimes we rested by
wrapping our legs around the
pilings to give our arms a rest"
