Effect on Homes
with the large number of
homes where both parents
work, and with many working
mothers being employed in re-
tail establishments, general
adoption of a seven.day sched-

would have a serious adverse
effect on the lives of all those

The Legislature in its 1860
session strengthened the States

back all efforts to soften it.

Republicans have levele d
against their opposition from
the Arlingtonians for a Better
County.
In their campaign for the
County Board, Republican
James j. Matthews and Har-
old j. Castro have charged the
ABC leadership is Communist
tinged or pink. They asserted
last week the ABC candidates
neglected to state their re-
ligious affiliations in the cam
paign.
Asked from the floor If he
Endorsed the behavior of the
Republican candidates for the
County Board, Mr.. Harrison
said he did not. He said he
knew of no Communists. Com
muniSt sympathizers or anti
Christians in either Demo-
cratic, Republican or ABC
circles in Arlington.
The candidate for the House
of Delegates emphasized that
the race between four Repub-
licans and a like number of
Democrats for seats in the
Virginia legislature had moth
ing to do with the contest be-
tween the two G. o. P. and
two ABC candidates for the
County Board.
In their talks last night. ABC
Candidates Joseph L. Fisher
and Mrs. Irene c. Rock denied
Republican charges against the
ABC leadership and called upon
the Republicans Ito be specific,
to name names or to keep
quiet" The Abe candidates

St. EIizabeths Ward Called Inadequate
By MYRA MACPHERSON
Star staff Writer

Three Congressman touring
St. Elizabetns Hospital today
expressed concern about over
crowded wards and an insult
ficient staff.
This was the opening move
in a six to eight week period
Of hearings and inspection of
the hospital plant to be con-
Quoted by a special House Edu-
cation and Labor investigation
committee.
Representative Daniels. Dem
ocrat Of New Jersey, chairman
of the subcommittee, said after
wandering through both the
modern maximum security
wards and some of the century,
old buildings:
1T is definite that the medi-
UNI security ward is definitely
inadequate. Some of the build
ings should be replaced and
there seems to be insufficient
personnel"
Representative Sickles. DEM
ocrat of Maryland. said, This
inspection is only the first
step. I was impressed with the
new building. The old ones
have outlived their usefulness
years ago. We plan to look at
three areas-the physical. the
personnel and the procedure
used in running st. Elizabeths.
I am sure that some of US will
be back again"
Representative Goodell, Re-
publican of New York, also
took today's tour.
The contrast between the
John Howard Pavilion maxi
mum security ward, where
criminal patients have the up
to-date benefits of occupational
therapy and gymnasium. to the
older buildings seemed to ap-

To reduce the overcrowding
problem, the three Congress-
men felt older patients should
be moved into foster homes if
proper facilities could be found.
Representative Daniels said,
Il think the older patients who

Chalk Rups
ScuIed-Down
7 runsit Plan

A proposed scaling down on
"a rail rapid transit plan for
the Washington area was
labeled today as mo remedy
and "wasteful" by o. Roy
Chalk, president of D. C. Tran
sit System. Inc:
Mr.. Chalk in the same state
ment renewed his plea for
private ownership Of any rail
transit system built.
In a letter sent to members
of the House and Senate Dis
trict Committees, the bus COM
pany chief said he is just as
opposed to the shorter. 23-mile
rail system as he was to the
original 9S-mile National Capt.
tai Transportation Agency
proposal.
The Meta plan, calling for
expenditure of nearly $500 mil
lion to carry rail lines deep
into Maryland and Virginia
suburbs, would be generally
confined to the boundaries of
the District under a compro-
mise advanced last week by key
congressman and supported by
META officials
The revised plan would cost
an estimated $500 million.
"A so per cent expenditure is
equally as waSteful as a 100
per cent expenditure if the
transportation concept and the
philosophy are wrong. as they
are in the instant case" Mr..
Chalk said.
Mr.. Chalk repeated his con-
tention that the Meta rail plan
is archaic because of its Gin
flexibility."
The $500 million plan, he
said. tis merely down pay
ment against untold hundreds
of millions more sure to follow
in the Characteristic manner of
a publicly owned and operated
transportation system"
Mr.. Chalk said it is a "seri-
GUS error" that the revised plan
fails to make D. c. Transit the
prime and continuing factor in
the future transportation plans
of the Washington Metropoli-
tan Area.

The
Rambler
Hears
A Sad TuIe
By JOHN McKELWAY

And it came to pass-be-
fore the Capitol Theater died
that Impresario S. Hurok
and Impresario Patrick
Hayes decided to approach
one Harry g. Lynn, business
man, and see if he would
help stage the Bolshoi Bal
let in Washington, culturally
deprived colossus of the
West.
Mr.. Lynn is an ice man,
former ieweler, cigar smoker,
former travelling salesman,
sharp dresser, and president
of the Washington Coliseum
and the Uline Ice Co.
Mr.. Lynn, somewhat more
familiar with wrestling
matches, circuses and ice
shows, nevertheless saw his
civic duty and done it. Yes,
he would help stage the Boil
shot. Yes, he would rent his
coliseum so he could pay his
taxes.
Yes, Mr.. Lynn agreed, he
would construct a big stage
at one end of his stadium,
at a cost of $4,000, so the
BolShoi would have some
thing to dance on and, yes,
he would gamble along with
S. Hurok and P. Hayes.
The stage was designed by
George Bardyquine, S. HUI
rok's leading man at this sort
of thing, the same G. Bardy-
quine who had designed
stages for S. Hurok in Madi-
son Square Garden with sue
cess. Mr.. Lynn did not design
the stage nor did he ham,
mer any nails into 1t.
I'VE had to knock out
LOO Seats" Mr.. Lynn
moaned the other day. "And
we had to cover the stage
with a resilient type Of lin
oleum-for the dancers"
(wrestlers like a resilient
type of canvas but do not
require as much space as
ballet.)
Mr.. Lynn had the floor
painted a battleship gray
and also got the idea it
might be attractive to paint
the orchestra seats in gold.

commended that the words "or
charity" be eliminated.
1t also said that the prohibit
ton on the Sunday sale of
hardware be qualified to permit
the sale of light bulbs, batteries
and electrical fuses.
The 1860 law permitted the
sale Of farm produce grown by
the seller and sold at roadside
stands or at the place where
grown. But the VALC said it
believed the General Assembly
had intended only to prohibit
the sale in stores of perishable
items.
Urges Change
Therefore, the council said
the law should be changed to
permit the farmer to sell every
thing he produces in the State
including chickens, hams and
eggs-so long as he sells 1t at
roadside stands or at the place
where grown.
Another amendment would
prohibit the sale of hams by
others than the person who
produced them. And the sec
ton on sales Of fuel and oil

THE CAPITOL THEATER
closed in mid-September. But
the Bolshoi bravely opened
at the Washington Coliseum
on a Monday night, october Z.
Mr.. Lynn was in attend

of whom had never ventured
into Northeast Washington
before. The next night-an-
other sell out. The good
crowd may have been be-
cause Mr.. Lynn Cancelled the
sale of hot dogs, feeling they
lacked culture. Or it could
have been the prices-$6.50,
$3.50, $3.50 and $3.50. 1t was
probably the Bolshoi. At any
rate, Mr.. Lynn was not
stoned, or lynched, after
either performance.
Today, however, he ap-
pears to have lost some of
his zest for life. You might
even say he's burned up.
1t is not because some Of
the gold on his gold orches-

tells 1t ..
How did I know IL was

So it was that Mr.. Lynn,
