FALLS CHURCH MAYOR

Says Lives Of Children and Old

To the Editor Of The Star:
The article on page three of Mon

a misstatement of the facts and does
so grave an injustic to a worthy Of
fetal that T cannot let 1t pass un-
noticed. I happen to be familiar with
the circumstances in the case men
toned. Town Sergeant Gibson had
been instructed by me to accept col
lateral in the sum of SO in each case
of arrest for violation of the speed
laws, the only alternative being to
send the offender to Jail to await
trial, The violator who evidently
told hfs. one-sided story to your re-
porter was able to raise only $780,
Sunday afternoon sergt. Gibson
stretched his instructions and accept
ed deposit of that sum. For this act
of Kindness he is made to appear as
q mercenary CRATER who sized mo-
torlsts up and then taxed them all he
I suppose the article was;intended
to be humorous: but the citizens of
Falls Church who by private sub,
scriptions and a special tax provided
the money WIN "hiCh " uuiiu a
rood road for the benefit Of motorists
failed to see any humor in 1t. The
statement that the motorist was
"iogging over the ruts" when ar
rested is as untrue as the entire ar
ticle is misleading. He was speed
ing over a smooth tar and macadam
road. which motorists from Washing
ton, including truck drivers, appear
to think was built solely as speed
way for their pleasure, and they have
been making a practice of stepping
on the gas" as soon as they struck 1t.
Not only have they done serious dam
age to the road, but the lives of our
citizens, especially children and old
people, have been placed in almost
1 regret to see The Star. which has
always stood for law and order, slur-
rinp-efforts at law enforcement SIM
ply because they happen to be put
forth in a suburban town. I know 1t
is q favorite indoor sport to poke
fun at the "rube" constable with
straw in his mouth, but automobile
speed maniacs can be assured that
such ridicule will not deter US from
protecting our streets. and our citi-
xens from their devil-may-care reck-
lessness. And IL 1eniency in the matter
Of collateral is to be regarded as evil

have no recourse but to use the town

After the claim was made that the

tHhat the state owes all law abiding
