Voicing objection to operation Of
penny arcades in Takoma Park and
Silver Spring, Md. the Montgomery
Blair Senior High School Parent
Teacher Association has voted to
ask the Board of County Commis-
Sioners not to renew licenses or
grant new licenses to establishments
of this type.
Members of the association con-
tend that the amusement places en-
courage gambling among children
and, in some instances, children stay
away from school to play the games.
Letters will be written to all civic,
service and parent-teacher asSocia-
tions in the area and the Takoma
Park Town Council asking support
in opposing the arcades.
Ministers of Silver Spring, in a
letter to the county commissioners
this week, branded arcades as "a
contributing factor to juvenile de-
linquency." Signed by six clergy
men, the communication urges re-
fusal of licenses.
The Silver Spring Citizens Asso-
citation also has protested such en-
terprises, and is taking steps to have
legislation drafted prohibiting penny
arcades in the suburban area.

Senate Passage
Sends Parking
Bill 10 House
Changes in District
Income Tax Law
Also Approved

The on-street automobile parking
bill, passed by the Senate yesterday.
is slated TO 60 to the House District
Committee, which still has a SINH
lar measure under consideration.
A second bill passed by the Sen
ate, making minor adjustments in
the District income tax law, passed
the House last october but goes
back there for action on several
Senate changes. 1t is designed to
make the local law conform to the
Federal statute In exempting cer-
tain organizations and non-profit
groups from the corporation tax
for the present SIS filing fee i'm
posed on corporations subject to the
income tax.
Land Purchase Approved.
The Senate also passed a bill,
which still requires House action,
authorizing the purchase by the
President of approximately 25 acres
of land north of Arlington National
Cemetery for eventual enlargement
of the cemetery. During the war,
however, it could be used for any
other governmental purpose.
Senator Burton, Republican, OF
Ohio told the Senate the off-street
parking bill is intended to give the
Commissioners the authority to
solve in 4 comprehensive way one
of the major problems in the local
traffic situation.
The bill creates a seven-man
Motor Vehicle Parking Agency to
prepare for the Commissioners a
program for the acquisition and es-
tablishment of fringe parking lots
outside the congested area, where
motorists could leave their cars and
proceed downtown by mass trans
portation facilities.
Membership Outlined.
The parking agency would consist
of one representative Of the Federal
Works Agency, one from the Ma
tional Park Service, one from the
Department of Motor Vehicles and
Traffic and four bona lde District
residents to be chosen by the Com
missioners.
The agency also would have au-
thority to install more parking
meters at the curb and to fix rates
for the off-street parking lots.
These rates would be calculated to
cover maintenance and the amor
tization of the cost of establishing
the lots but without seeking any
profit or surplus revenue for the
District.
Senator Burton, who became ia
miliar with municipal traffic prob
lens while Mayor of Cleveland,
stressed the importance Of solving
the parking problem. He pointed
out that the recent 1-cent increase
in the local gasoline tax will, when
augmented by Federal funds, help
solve engineering phases of the Dis
trict traffic problem, while this bill
will provide a solution for an equally
important phase.
