Citizens Appear Indifferent Over
Proposal To Abandon Street Cars
Only About Is Residents And Taxpayers Appear Before
Town Council To Discuss Various Angles Of Trans
pOrtatiOn-Sentment Expressed Shows
Divided Opinions

On the other hand THE SENTINEL
has received number of replies to
the same query, with slight pre-
ponderance in favor of street cars.
THE SENTINEL's replies came mostly
from the Montrose- -Halpine section.
Holding that the proposed aban-
donment of the Westinghouse Rockville
Zine is an Infringement of their legal
rights, the Mayor and City Council
of Rockville through F. B. Albert,
clerk, has asked the Public Service
Commission to hold a public hearing
before any action is taken by the
commission.
In his letter of protest Mr.. Albert
said, in part:
The mayor and Council under
stand that the Washington and Rock
vile Railroad Co. desires to aban-
don its line from Rockville to Wash
ington and there seems to be quite
a bit of agitation along it's route in
regards to this matter.
"As this company has a franchise
with the mayor and Council, we re-
quest that should this matter come
before your honorable body for con-
sideration we be given a hearing to
protect our legal rights in the mat
ter"

mangled by the wheels of the train.
According to the information avail
able, Randall was walking along the
tracks with his son, Kenneth RAN
dali, when he was struck. Young
Randall told police he was searching
for his dog and did not actually wit
ness the impact. 1t is not believed

typed by Montgomery County ply

1t appears that the citizens and
taxpayers of Rockville care very litt-
lie whether street cars or buses are
used for transportation to and from
Washington. Last night at the pub
lie meeting sponsored by the Mayor
and Town Council only about Is peo-
pie appeared to state their views on
the matter.
From the sentiment expressed at
the meeting, public opinion seems to
be divided. Several were strong
against any removal of street cars
while others were just as adamant in
their position that buses should be
substituted for the trolleys.
Mayor Douglas M. Blandford and
the Town Council promised to abide
by the wishes of citizens and tax
payers and will consider the interests
of everyone before taking any action
on the matter.
According to DR.. George L. Ed
monds, chairman of the public utili-
ties committee of the Rockville Cham
Der of Commerce, he has received
back about 100 cards voting on the
suggested abandonment of the street
cars and the substitution of adequate
bus service. Of this number, he said
one-fourth were in favor of the buses.

NAVY |SP[ANN|NG
DRASTIC SECRECY
Swanson ReviveS War. Time
Security Section of Naval
Intelligence.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BY a new policy Of drastic secrecy
the American Navy believed today it
had struck blow at unofficial
espionage" through which naval in
formation was said to have leaked
away to foreign powers.
Secretary Swanson. after reviving
the wartime security section of the
ONCE Of Naval Intelligence, has or
dered more restrictions on data dis
closing new naval devices and de-
velopments.
Withholds Information,
The Navy is making sure that no
important information of naval secrets
strays into official reports that might
fall into the hands Of unauthorized
persons or might appear in motion
pictures. Foreigners must obtain per-
mission of the chief OF naval opera
tions as we'll as the chief Of the Bu-
reau Of Navigation before visiting
American naval vessels New ships,
such as the aircraft carriers York
town, Enterprise and Ranger, are be-
ing guarded especially.
1t is move to put the United States
into better bargaining position with
foreign powers in trading naval data.
Although the Navy always has guarded
its secrets, the London naval treaty
requires that certain information
such as speed and tonnage Of vessels
and caliber of guns-be made public.
Recently, however. the Navy was said
to have found it difficult to get data
from some nations through cooper
ative exchange.
Cooperation Declined.
One world power. an authoritative
source said, declined to cooperate in
the swap. holding that it could
get information through unofficial"
channels.
The order. which applies also to pri-
vate shipyards where naval vessels are
built. relates to such things as i'm
provements in ship construction. radio
devices, gunnery and safety factors.
The restrictions on movies were
prompted by a recent picture which
disclosed naval aircraft bombing tao
tics said to be unknown to other
countries. Most of these films were
said to have been bought by repre-
sentatives of foreign powers.
