Zen Den, a young peoples

night with a new name

David De Reimer, said member

both area residents. Former age

The club was closed recently
by Rockville officials until GER.

In the meantime, city officials
said they have asked De Reimer
to furnish them with a mem

required other than one which
permits the establishment to
operate as a private club.

Attorney Glenn j. Goldburn
said his suit challenging the
liquor laws would be filed on
behalf of certain restaurant
owners who feel present laws
discriminate against them.
Under the old laws enacted
in 1888 and rarely amended
since, only three county restau-
rants and country clubs can
serve liquor by the drink.
AS a result of the hesitancy
of legislators to tamper with
the controversial laws, no
changes have been made for
many years. Many restaurants
want such licenses but have not
been able to get them.
Loopholes have been found in
Guiding one that enables clubs
to form for the purpose of stor.
ing a members bottle. Another
practice here Is for a restaurant
to serve "setups" and send a
messenger to nearby liquor
dispensary to purchase drinks
for its patrons.
Goldburn said two of the
restaurants obtained their Ii.
censes when the General AS
sembly in 1888 enacted a bill
providing that restaurants
which had 80 chairs and $4,000
capital investment in 1932-the
year before-would be eligible

Calling the old law "discrim-

the case only under the condi.

lower courts, he would be able
to take 1t up to United States

"This is a completely arbi-
trary exercise of police power"
GOldburn told a reporter. Its

both the federal and state con.
stituti0n."

unconstitutional, 1t could lead to

server predicted this week.
He conceded, however, that
corrective legislation could be
quickly enacted - at a special
session of the General Assembly
If need be.
Meanwhile, the case could
drag on in the courts so that a
final ruling would not be hand
ed down for a year or two.
AS part of its decision to put
off pressing for liquor changes
now, the delegation unanimous
ly amended the delaying resolu.
ton submitted by State Sen.

citizens committee which will
study the complex liquor situa-
ton would report back by

1914 Million
Is Asked
By Butcher
By William H. Smith
Sentinel Reporter

A S34.6 million county
operating budget proposed
by County Manager Mason
Butcher calls for no increase
and conceivably, a drop
in the general tax rate while
providing for expanded SER
vices in all major depart
ments serving the taxpayer.
Submitted to the County
Council last week, the budget
calls for expenditures of 1922
million in county operating
funds; $2.6 million for county
debt service; $7.6 million for
school debt service and county
capital construction, $2.1 mil
lion.
Butchers plan as submitted
for general county operations
would reduce the existing tax
rate from 81 to 26 cents, with
part of the cut offset by an ex-
pected tWo-cent increase in the
ad valorem tax for school debt
service, from 80 to "a cents.
However, he pointed out that
the five-cent reduction was
based on his proposed use of all
motor vehicle license funds for
general county purposes, in
stead of dividing them with the
Board of Education, as has been
done in the past. He noted that
a State law requiring division of
the funds was repealed in 1861,
after the cOunty's new budget
had been approved, and said it
would be up to the Council to
decide whether it wanted to re.
tain the full amount.
Should the division with the
Board of Education be termin-
ated, officials noted, an increase
in the school tax rate would
obviously be necessary to offset
the loss.
Meanwhile, major provisions
of the budget as submitted by
the County Manager involve
these proposals:
Health Department: Butcher
recommended an appropriation
of $2,138,150 from a request of
$2,289, 1856, compared to the cur
rent figure of 81, 972, 726. Among
expanded services under the
new proposal would be five adj
ditional nurses, to be assigned
to secondary schools, and a var
iety of new projects to be fl
nanced entirely by Federal or
State funds.
Police Department: $3,752, 424
recommended in comparison to
a request of 1896, 400 and a
current figure of $3,431,797 A
request for SO new policemen
was reduced to six by the coun-
ty manager, who pointed out
that opening of the new central
communication system will re-
heve a number of officers for
other duties.
Department of Public Works:
BY far the largest single depart
ment in the county government
due to its extensive road con-
struction and maintenance pro-
gram, public works would re-
ceive $5,338,26O under the
Butcher proposal compared to
request for S5,774,551 and
current budget of $5,337,16
The new program would provide
for continuation of the depart
ments program at its present
level.
Public Welfare: S1,691,148
recommended, compared to a re-
quest for $1,7O5,711 and cur.
rent figure of $1,6O6,O66. The
expanded program, calling for
seven additional employees. is
based entirely on plans outlined
by Federal and State officials,
who will contribute $1,116,O38
of the total expanded.
Department of RecreatiOn:
$873,345 in comparison to re.
quest for 1886, 929 and a current

They ranged from middle
aged or a little over to teen
ayers - surprisingly good
batch of them-and all had

county tuberculosis and
Heart Association and the
Washington Sanitarium and
Hospital.

given last week by the same
instructors at the University of
Maryland. About 400 pupils
completed that course and this
one was being held Immediately
following by popular demand.
The first of five Commute,
rapid fire lectures was started
Monday night at 7:30 with a
film on lung cancer. A noted
surgeon said there was no
doubt in his mind that tobacco
has cancer causing agents and
that smoking can be blamed for
lung cancer in humans.
An actual lung cancer case
and the various steps from de-
lection TON this case-cure
was shown graphically, includ-
ing the actual incision of the
patients chest by a surgeon.
Medical aspects of the
smoking problem, after the
film ended, were handled by
DIR. j. Wayne Mcfarland, an
Adventist physician. He and
Rev. FOIkenberg, South Lam
caster, Mass, developed the
five day" plan over the last
two and a half years with the
help of the medical and min
isteriaI departments of the
Seventh-day Adventist denOm-
ination.
To answer questions on
whether it is best to stop
smoking abruptly or try to
taper off, Rev. Folkenberg told
the story of the man who cut
off a puppy dogs tail a little
at a time thinking that method
was more humane.

Folkenberg told his listeners.
And he said the average per-

Ways to ease withdrawal

how to relax, urges them to
avoid areas and activities that
might lead to weakening of

There are reports, pretty well
founded, that two of the three
local lower court judges and
possibly the third - are in trou-
BILE as far as reappointment is
concerned.

expire on May 1. And it'll be up
to the Republican-dOminated

incumbents or select new

DloUe under aOdy to talk the

an Judge Noyes to the highly
important juvenile Court job
hOa0eUer, that the picture ON
him is all ont of focus.
The images are much more
clear on Messrs. Diamond and
Walker, however. There are
plenty of Republican lawyers
who covet the Judicial posts.
And some Council members pri-
vately offer no apologies for
their strong feeling that they
did, after all, win the election
and there's no reason at all why
they shouldn't name COP stall
warts to the jobs.
NOyes, Walker and Diamond
have all formally applied for re-
appointment. Others who have
formally notified the Council
they're interested in the jobs in

Also, Browning lost out in be-
