WOODEN SPANS
SEEN MENACE

SEAT PLEASANT, Md, July 20.
Repeated complaints of residents
living in the southern part of
Prince Georges county against the
alleged dangerous condition of
several wooden spans over the
abandoned washington, Baltimore
& Annapolis railroad tracks has
resulted in a movement among
several civic organizations to have
the evil corrected.
Since abandonment of the rail-
road last year no funds have been
available for maintenance of the
bridges, it is said, and two of
them, one on the Landover Road
between Bladensburg and Largo
and the one at the end of the
Addison Chapel Road in Seat
Pleasant, are said to be in serious
condition.
Unofficial inspections Of the
wooden spans show that freezing
temperatures during the winter
and heat expansion this summer
has cracked the concrete abut-
mentS and the timberS are slipping
from the bases in several places.

SILVER SPRING
PLANS DRIVE

SILVER SPRING, Md, July 20.
After issuing warnings to speed
law violators in the Silver Spring,
Md, area for the past few days,
police, at the authorization of
County Commissioner Paul M.
Coughlan, today began a relentless
drive to curb fast driving.
Commissioner Coughlan de-
clared today that Montgomery
County police, augmented by
Maryland State police, will be sta
toned to patrol all arterial high
ways and main thoroughfares in
Silver Spring early today, with
instructions to place under arrest
all persons caught violating the
county and State speed laws.
This campaign, Coughlan de-
clared, was ordered with the un-
Outstanding that local business
men will not request ticket fix

or friends. Other requests for
leniency will be ignored by the
Commissioners office, he said.
One particular location police
were ordered to watch is Georgia
Avenue, especially that section of
the District Of Columbia line to
the business district of Silver
Spring, and from the traffic light
at ColeSville Road north to the
town limits. This is one highway
on which speeding prevails at all
times, residents say.
The increasing number of seri-
Gus accidents at the intersection of
Georgia, Sligo and Philadelphia
Avenues just north of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad is respon-
sible for the speed drive, it was
learned.

.LECHE SEEKS
u. 5. AID FOR
LA. HERE

One of the youngest chief ex-
ecutives of a State in the history
of the Nation-he is just 38 years
old-Governor Richard w. Leche
of Louisiana was in Washington
today to confer with Government
officials on various projects in his
State.
Governor Leche took office on
May IL, the day after the session
Of the Louisiana legislature
opened, and he expressed himself
as well pleased with the legisla.
ton enacted during his 60-day
term.
Security Program Told
A social security program, one
Of the most comprehensive in the
country and one of the governors
chief campaign issues, was
adopted by the legislature. In or.
der to meet the costs, he ex-
planned, a new 2 per cent luxury
tax was adopted, and this, he esti.
mates, will yield at least $5,000,-
600 a year, which with other in.
come and Federal grants will
allow the program to be carried
out to the fullest extent.
Indicating that conditions in his
State are becoming better, the
governor said:
"Our budget is balanced and
the State government is in tip
top shape"
While in Washington he will
meet with WPA and PWA officials
to discuss various Federal projects
in the State. He will also confer
with officials of the Biological
Survey relative to hunting and
fishing laws.
The State recently opened a
quail hatchery. he said, and plans
are being made to open q $4,000
acre tract as public hunting
ground during the season. If this
plan works out successfully, SINH
lar hunting places will be set up
throughout the State.
Free School Books
Among the major items on the
governors program which were
passed by the legislature were a
constitutional amendment grant
ing free school books and supplies
to all children; a measure exempt
ing all livestock and poultry from
taxation; a $50, 900, 000b bond issue
for construction of roads and
bridges; formation Of a new State
police force; authorization of a
State hospital board and extern
sion Of free hospital service for
the needy in all parishes; reSettle-
ment Of State-owned farm lands;
extension of the debt moratorium
for two years and extension of the
$4,000 homestead exemption law.
The governor also pointed out
that legislation was adopted re-
moving politics from the State edu-
cational system by a tenure of
office that makes it impossible to
remove a teacher except after a
trial before a school, and with
the further safeguard of an ap-
peal to the courts.
