PrinceGeorges
Chamber Hits
Bus Route Plan
Directors Name Group
To Oppose Proposal
AT Baltimore Hearing

Opposition to the plan proposed
by the Prince Georges County hide
pendent Trade Association and
agreed to by the Capital Transit Co.,
for changes in bus and streetcar
routes in the county was voted last
night by the County Chamber of
Commerce directors.
Walter L. Mulligan, chairman of
the chambers Public Utilities Com
mittee, will head a delegation from
the organization to hearing on
the plan by the Maryland Public
Service Commission November q
in Baltimore. Mr.. Mulligan asked
G. D. Anderson, Fred w. Cast and
Alfred H. Smith to aid him.
He declared the proposed changes
were designed to aid business inter-
ests rather than the travelling public.
His main objection was to the plan
to route buses into the Mount
Rainier terminal that now go direct
to the. District.
Terminal Oyercrowded.
Mr.. Mulligan asserted that loss of
time and confusion would result
from the Cheverly, East Riverdale,
Hyattsville and Queens Chapel
buses going into the terminal and
discharging passengers for other
buses or streetcars. The terminal,
he said, already was overcroWded.
He recalled that the same pro-
posals were offered by the transit
company four years ago, but were
denied: He stated the plans for
bus route from College Park to the
Prince Georges General Hospital at
Cheverly, and for elimination of the
Greenbelt busline were all right,
but were too high a price to pay
for the other changes.
According to Mr.. Mulligan the
County Central Transportation
Committee, of which he is chair
man, is considering submitting
proposal to establish a bus loop serv-
ice from the Peace Cross at Bladens-
burg via East Riverdale, the Wash
ington- Baltimore boulevard and
back to the Peace Cross.
Sees More Fare Zones.
Mr.. Anderson, former chamber
secretary, said the aim of the transit
company is to separate the District
and Maryland transportation sys-
TENS and increase the number of
fare zones in Prince Georges County.
as has been done in Montgomery
County"
Plans for speeding construction of
the proposed Annapolis freeway
were discussed by Robert M. Wat
kins of the chambers Special Roads
Committee. Mr. Watkins was asked
to check on obtaining a direct road
between the University of Maryland
area and the Naval Ordnance
laboratories in the northeast section
of the county.
Albert L. Houghton of the Prince
Georges Gulf and Country Club and
William K. Cooper of the county
YMCA were elected to membership.

In Draft Evasion Case
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Nov. Daniel
Tabor, Baltimore grocer who was
convicted of Selective Service Act
violations and sentenced to five years
imprisonment, was free man today
after the Fourth United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals reversed both
conviction and sentence.
Years of effort to remain a civilian
efforts involving hardship claims
and appeals from la classical
tion-culminated in Federal Court
after Tabor, in June, 1914, admitted
to Federal Bureau of Investigation
agents that he had been coached by
Chester Ruby. Navy chief petty
officer now serving a 12-year SEN
tence, to feign psychoneurosis at his
preinduction physical examination.
That confession, however, was not
admissible in evidence, the Appeals
Court ruled, and the case against
the grocer was held invalid since
the Government failed to produce
independent evidence supporting
Tabor's confession to the FBI.
Ruby, jointly indicted but not
tried with Tabor, was implicated in
a number of draft evasion cases as
counsellor to selectees on how to
simulate psychological maladies. He
was not called to testify against
Tabor.

On Medical Care Banned

Corporation counsel Vernon E.
West has called illegal" proposal
by which the Board Of Public Well
fare sought to delegate authority
to its superintendent Of special
services to consent" to surgical
operations on city wards whose
parents are dead or missing.
Mr.. West held that under law,
the board Stands in place Of the
parent" in cases of medical and
surgical care, and therefore should
reserve such responsibility to itself,
except in emergencies.
'The board is without power to
delegate this responsibility to
Others" he decided, "and therefore
in every case where it appears neces-
sary that surgical operation be
performed on a ward of the board
the consent OF the board should
first be obtained.
Ray L. Huff, welfare director de-
scribes the proposal as simply an
attempt to standardize the pro-
cedure and to enable swift action
to be made"
