Wife's Protest Fails
To Halt License Sale

The potential interest of wife,
involved in a divorce proceeding,
in the transfer of a beer, wine and
liquor license to new purchaser
is outside the jurisdiction Of the
Board of License Commissioners Of
Prince Georges County, according
to a ruling by Mrs. Mary w. Brown
ing, commission chairman.
The board yesterday approved a
transfer from Kreil c. Harris to
Ethel Thomas, Henry Meyer and
Kenneth Showers of the combina-
ton license at Detta's Musical Bar,
1854 Marlboro pike, near Forrest
vile.
Mrs. Thelma Virginia Harris,
through her attorney Robert E.
Ennis, sought a two weeks delay
because of a pending divorce suit.
Mr.. Ennis contended his client is
entitled to a share of the proceeds
of the sale and Charles Mckay, rep
resenting the new purchasers, said
$4,000 would be withheld to give
Mrs. Harris time to file claim in
court.
Mrs. Browning then ruled the
commission has no jurisdiction and
the transfer was approved.
Clarence Evans received beer
and light wine license for Evans
Grill, Almshouse road, Marlboro.

to Clifford Cunningham. Helen
Nicholson and Angeline Cunning

To Seek Relocation
OF Juvenile Court

A Arelocation OF Alexandria's S Juve-

and improved facilities for detention
of juveniles will be recommended in
report by City Manager Carl
Budwesky to members of the City
Council today
Existing juvenile detention facil-
tiles recently were attacked by Judge
R. Duncan of the Civil and Police
Court as being inadequate and un-
suitable for children.
Il suggest that when we provide
better facilities for housing the
Juvenile Court that a detention
facility should be provided for
juveniles to replace the present
detention rooms at the police sta
ton because every now and then
circumstances arise when it is nee
essary to detain a child a few hours
or even overnight" Mr.. Budwesky
said.
Court Lacks Space.
The court, conducted by Judge
Marion B. West, is temporarily To-
Gated In his Office at the Burke &,
Herbert Bank & Trust Co., due to
lack OF space when the Juvenile
Court was separated from the Alex
andria Civil and Police Court on
January /.
Replying to Judge Duncan, Mr..
Budwesky said:
Il can see no objection to de-
tanning juveniles of is years and
over in the present rooms. Our
present practice has been to place
juveniles in the custody of their
parents. Runaways and strangers
are the only ones that we have to
detain"

and Virginia agencies in laying the
groundwork for an Alexandria
Shepherds Landing bridge was to
be reported to the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission to-
day by its chairman, Maj. Gen.
U. S. Grant, Sd.
The bridge, as now planned, would
link South Capitol street with the
Virginia city. Under present financ-
ing plans, Virginia and the Public
Roads Administration would split
the cost of the Virginia approaches
to the bridge. while the District
and the Federal Government would
share cost of the bridge itself and
the District approaches. Land for
the District approaches already is
in public ownership.
Other Matters on Agenda.
The planning commission was to
consider two other matters af-
fecting nearby interests today:
l. Progress made to set up Joint
body to pass on proposed zoning
changes involving land near the
District line.
2. The future attitude of the plan
ming commission and the National
Park Service toward coming changes
along Washington street in Alex
andria.
An agreement was made by
the Federal Government with the
Alexandria City Council when the
Mount Vernon Memorial highway
was built that property along the
street would be developed in man
ner in keeping with the memorial
character of the drive.
Commercializing Fought.
Since then, it is charged, Alex
andria property owners have sue
ceeded in commercializing WASH
ington street property on a gradual
ly increasing scale over the protests
Of the Federal agencies.
The commission today also was to
consider:
l. Plans to widen Cabin John
bridge, prepared by the District
Army district engineer.
2. Plans for an interceptor sewer
from Cabin John to the District line
along the Chesapeake g. Ohio Ca
nal right of way.
3. Preliminary plans for locating
seaplane landing facilities on Dis
trict waters.
Inspection Tour Today.
4. Plans for the future improve
ment of the National Arboretum.
5. Possible action to help block
rezoning of the l0-acre Grasslands
property, which lies between the for
mer Mount Vernon Seminary, now
Navy property, and the Washington
City Orphanage near Nebraska ave-
nue.. Owners of the property have
asked the District zoning Commits
sion to rezone the property, now re-
stricted residential, so that a 600 to
300 unit apartment building up to
eight stories high may be built. The
planners thave already asked the
Justice Department to start con-
demnation proceedings to acquire
part of the tract for an extension
Of Glover--Archbold Park.
Yesterday afternoon the commits
sion toured the northeast sections
of the city to view proposed play
ground sites for which it may ask
purchase money in its 1948 budget.

to tour the western part of the city.
