T. Of {. Heads Back
New Transit Program
For Prince Georges

Prince Georges Chamber of Com
merce directors last night approved
a plan submitted by its Public Util-
tiles Committee for improving
Capital Transit Co. transportation
in the county's metropolitan area.
The action followed long discus
sion featured by verbal tits be-
tween Mayor Harry A. L. Barker of
Riverdale, general counsel of the
Prince Georges County Independent
Trade Association, and Walter F.
Mulligan, chamber public utilities
chairman, as to the campaigns
Waged by the two bodies to obtain
improved service.
Vote to Submit Plan.
1t was voted at the meeting, held
in Hyattsville, that the Chamber
Public Utilities Committee should
submit its plan to the Maryland
Public Service Commission in &C
cordance with the commissions re-
quest, and also that it be presented
to the Capital Transit Co. for ap-
proval.
The same plan, which opposed
rerouting of buses to the Mount
Rainier terminal, was favored by
the Prince Georges County Civic
Federation Thursday night. Mr..
Mulligan is president of the fedora
ton.
Mr.. Mulligan said the people of
the county were willing to pay sub
stantially'' higher fares if they re-
ceived improved service. He said
it was realized the company's reve-
nues had fallen off since VI day.
All that was asked, he said, was
service that would get people of the
county to and from work in reason
able time.
Direct Service Favored.
He said that he believed 80 per
cent of the county wants direct
service to downtown Washington
rather than via the Mount Rainier
terminal, and intra-county trans
portation during the day. One of
the most important needs of the
county, he asserted, is countrywide
pass. He maintained that the coun-
ty was entitled to such a pass as
much as is the District, and that
it would stimulate county business.
Col. Joseph L. Aman, U. S. A.,
retired, was elected a member of
the chamber and named by Pres
ident Perry o. Wilkinson, to serve
with Ernest w. Galbraith on the
committee to improve appearance
of county business establishments
and residences. Joseph C. Long
ridge, chairman of the committee,
also was elected to membership.

National War Museum Here
Sought by Military Group

Early establishment of a national
war museum here will be sought by
the American Military Institute, its
Board of Trustees has decided.
The organization, composed Of
service and civilian specialists in the
history of warfare, explained in
statement made public yesterday
that it views the project as urgent
ito guide the American people
toward sound and realistic atti-
tude toward national security"
Many private collections would be
available if suitable place for ex-
hibition were provided, and the pro-
posed museum would not compete
with existing technical and scien-
tiflc museums, it was argued.
The trustees decided to sponsor
the proposal at a recent meeting in
the Office of DR.. Luther H. Evans,
librarian of Congress, member Of
the board.
Brig. Gen. Donald Armstrong.
commandant of the Army Industrial
College, is president of the insti-

Celius Dougherty and Vincenz

Symphony Orchestra. They are
fairly confident now, but such was
not the case when they first saw
the work.
The duo pianists, whose first
names never appear in the billing,
yesterday said the concerto was
about the most difficult item they
had attempted in eight years of con-
cert appearances. So far as they
know, it has had but one other
public performance with an Or
chestra in this country.
Dougherty and Ruzicka decided
playing two pianos together would
be a pleasant way to make living
while they were students at the
Juillard Graduate School in New
York City. They were not disap-
pointed. AS Mr.. RuZicka explained
yesterday, audiences enjoy pianos

Arlington COP Names
Delegates 10 Roanoke
Convention March Is

Arlington County Republicans at
a mass meeting last night in the
Lyon Park Community Center
elected 165 delegates to the party's
State convention at Roanoke next
Saturday.
Frederic G. Dawson was elected
county committee chairman for a
two-year term, and Mrs. Franklin
Pierce was elected vice chairman.
The committee also adopted a
resolution asking that necessary
steps be taken to elect or appoint a
United States Senator to replace
Senator Glass, 88-year-old Virginia
Democrat. 1t was pointed out in
connection with this that due to
Senator Glass illness for several
years Virginia has not had full rep
resentation.
Horse Race Move Beaten.
A resolution asking the State to
legalize horse racing and to estab-
lish four race tracks, two of them
to be located near the District, was
defeated.
Under the plan, paramutuel bet
ting would be authorized for the
purpose of raising teachers salaries,
improving schools and establishing
hospitals.
Various committee members ex-
pressed the opinion that legalized
betting in any form should not be
indorsed by the Republican party.
William P. Ames was Endorsed as
the Republican candidate to oppose
Senator Byrd in the November elec-
tion. The 165 delegates, however,
will go uninstructed to the State
convention. They were directed by
resolution to vote by unit rule.
The nomination of candidate for
the County Board was postponed
until a later convention, probably in
June.
John Locke Greene, Arlington
treasurer, attacked the British and
former Prime Minister Winston

Churchill has come to the United

alliance with Great Britain.
Il am tired of paying taxes to pro-
vide money to be given other nations
so they can wage wars" Mr.. Greene
said.

Mar. 9.-Napalm, a potent incen-

war weapons "domesticated" by the
Army for everyday use.
A chemical laboratory at Scho-
