THE UGF IN ACTION
Woman, 78, Opens Home to Elderly
BY BETTY MILES
star staff Writer

At 78, Mrs. Stephanie Tobey
has opened her home and her
heart to a new family.
She is a foster mother for the
aged, sharing her life with two
women in their COS.
Through this pioneer program
sponsored by the Jewish Social
Service Agency, a member OF
the United NGivers Fund, all
three women have found the
companionship so treasured in
later years.
Mrs. Tobey has a gift for
making things bloom, from the
roses in the garden behind her
comfortable home to her newly
found friends.
Born in Hungary, she has
lived in the United States for
So years. She herself faced one
problem of aging 10 years ago
when her husband died. All Of
her children begged her to live
with them but she refused. In
stead, she took an apartment
near the family jewelry store
and continued to work until an
arthritic condition in her back
forced her retirement.
With daily contacts with Gus
toners done, her apartment
seemed especially barren. so
Mrs. Tobey made a second
decision about her golden
years.
She gave the apartment up
and moved back to the family
home on Monroe street that
had been rented.
First, she took in a young
Hungarian student.

Chairman Newton Brewer

"This is a typical example
of the government going ahead

Architect John Blake Murphy,
who submitted the plan.

"I call it poor planning OF
the worst kind" Mr.. Gingery
agreed. "As a taxpayer, citizen
and member of the planning

be q long-range plan presented
to us, not just for a communi-
caUions center but also for an

game" in horseshoes is 21.
Otherwise, he said, the
Ellipse lunchplayers league
rules are fairly standard:
Three points for a ringer,
but only one for a leaner,
and of course, one for a shoe
lying within a horseshoe
length of the peg. Ringers
that top ringers cancel each
other out.
Asked if there was one
single stand-out player, Mr..
Douglas shrugged: I'D say
about six or eight guys are
about even. Yes, we were
talking about a tournament
one time about two years
ago. Maybe some Saturday
:" His voice trailed off,
and he shrugged again. No
hurry.
Two pitching styles ap-
parently are the vogue with
the Ellipse group. One was
the traditional end-over-end
shoe pitched by a player who
holds the metal U in dead
center. However, many
Ellipse pitchers employed a
surprisingly effective side
arm toss that seemed to send
the shoe scaling through the
air and revolving in such a
neatly timed way that the
mouth of the U faced the
peg when the shoe landed
and clang! A ringer!
Mr.. Douglas commented
about the apparent decline
in popularity for the sport.
Of the IL sets of horseshoe
pits laid out at the Ellipse,
six sets were graSSed over,
and the dirt in another three
or four consisted of hard
caked mud.
Mr.. Douglas confirmed the
visual evidence: There used
to be a lot more, but they
don't come any more. Why

Kirwan, Democrat OF Ohio, and
q powerful member of the
House Appropriations Commit
tee. He oversees the budget OF
the Interior Department each
year and most of the so States,
each represented by Congress
men, have q deep interest in
the work of Mr.. Kirwan.
A total Of 245 Congressman
voted with Mr.. Kirwan yester-
day on his bill to provide
Washington with a brand-new
aquarium. The House enthusi-
astieally accepted the Senate
version of the mesaure, avoid
ing a conference on the bill as
well as a filibuster threatened
by Democratic Senators Morse
of Oregon and Proxmire of
Wisconsin.
The bill only authorizes the
money. The funds still, must
be appropriated in further ac-
tion by Congress.
1O4 Vote ''NO"
A total Of 104 members voted
against the bill, including Rep
resentative Gross, Republican
of Iowa.
Mr.. Gross called the aquarium
IA $40 million platinum-lin
fish bowl"
And he added:
although the bill is silent
on the subject, the best guess
is that this gilt-edged fish bowl
will be located on the banks of
the Potomac where the flotsam
and jetsam goes drifting by
when the tide is running. And
on a quiet summer night, when
the tide is in, one sniff Of the
air is all that is needed to in
form one and all that the
Potomac is close by. Here then
is our setting for this $40 mil
lion attraction that is to bring
paying tourists from very nook
and crevice of the world and
way-points between"
Continuing his ridicule of the
project, Mr.. Gross said an
aquarium in Boston had closed
for lack of patronage.
'WOOdbine Twineth'
"In Boston," he said, 1.-The
center of the great New Eng
land fishing industry, the fish
bowl has gone where the wood
bine twineth and the whang-
doodle whangeth."
"In view of the busted con-
dition of the treasury. he con-
tinued, "this is a ludicrous
proposal" fr,s- -.
Mr.. Gross failed, however,
to impress a majority. Mr.. Kir-
wan even took the floor to
charge that Mr.. Gross had
hired a speech writer.
II resent that" said Mr..
Gross. who later told a re-
porter he had been UP until
2 am. the night before writing
out his remarks.

While favoring abolition Of
the death penalty, the COM

nized the problem of how and
when to bring it about.
The committee noted that

in 1861 after three sensational
murders occurred in a four
month period.
Gradual Plan Urged
ain view of the almost equal
division of opinion on this is
sue, an abrupt change in Mary
land would not successfully
settle the issue" -. the COM
mittee said. Based on the
recent experience in Delaware,
there is little doubt that if the
death penalty were suddenly
dropped in Maryland it would
create a persistent emotional
issue. Therefore it is recon-
mended that the Legislature
accept the principle Of aboli-
ton as a goal and adopt a
plan for the gradual removal
of capital punishment in our
State"
The committee did not spe-
city a time limit for completely
abolishing capital punishment,
The issue of capital punish
ment was referred to the legis-
.lative council after bills were
introduced in the General AS
sembly seeking abolition Of the
death penalty.

! Fairfax Defeat!
Bond Issue
$6 Million Project
Loses in County
By WALTER WURFEL
Star Staff Writer

A proposed $6 million bond
issue for storm drains has been
defeated by a 3-to-1 margin in
a Fairfax County referendum
OF the approximately $4,000
eligible voters in the 17-Square-
mile area in which the ballot
ing took place yesterday, only
1891 went to the polls.
Rejection of the bond issue
stalled indefinitely what was
to have been the county's first
comprehensive storm drainage
program.
Bancroft Votes Yes
Final vote was 1872 for: 2,SOS
against. Voters in only one OF
the "a precincts involved IA
vored the bonds. In Bancroft
precinct, bordering on Lake
Bancroft, the vote was "a for;
73 against. No votes were cast
on one of the precincts, Mill
Greek Park.
Members of the board of
county supervisors said this
morning they were surprised
that the vote was so heavily
against the bond issue.
They said that any future
program in the area to correct
storm drainage would have to
be paid for out of current
operating funds. ~ .
Nov we'll be talking in
terms of 100000 to $500, 600 a
year." said william Moss, chair
man.
Robert C. Cotton, who rep
resents a segment of the dis
trict involved, said, Obviously
there was plenty of time for
the voters to inform themselves.
I'm surprised that it failed as
badly as it did"
"All I know" said Super
visor Anne Wilkins, "is that we
still have the problem with us"
The county heads had asked
permission to sell Sc million in
bonds and to increase taxes
in the area by 25 cents. The
money was to be used to fl
nance an S8.2 million storm
water collection and conduit
system along Holmes Run,
Trips Run and Long Branch.
Board Criticized
Additional work at a later
date, bringing the total ex-
penditure to SIS million, was to
have completed the system
throughout Sanitary District /,
where yesterdays vote was
held. County officials had said
that the drains would prevent
further flooding Of homes and
roads in low-lying parts Of the
district, which borders Falls
Church, Arlington and Alex
andria.
Opponents Of the bond issue
had asked that the referendum
be postponed until next April.
They criticized what they
called the Board Of County
Supervisors last-minute deci-
sion to seek the referendum.
claiming that the Board had
not allowed citizens of the area
enough time to study the merits
