Council
Votes New BIZ, Route

Despite energetic protests from
residents of Jefferson street, the
Hyattsyille Town Council last night
voted in favor of . new busline
along this street.
The new line approved by the
Maryland Public Service Commits
sion, is to begin operation Sunday
between Hyattsville and the Mount
Rainier terminal serving intermedi-
ate points.
It was contended by jefferson
street residents that the hill from
Fortieth avenue to Forty-first place
was difficult to negotiate, especially
in icy weather; that 1t was a main
route for school children and mar
row street; that it ended at a traffic
bottleneck on the Baltimore boule-
ward and that the buses would be
noisy.
The council again opposed prohi-
bition of parking on the Baltimore
boulevard during certain hours. It
favored left turns from West Hamil-
ton street on to the boulevard and
a left turn for northbound traffic
from the boulevard into West Ham
ilton street, which is opposite the
approach to the Baltimore & Ohio
Railroad overpass. It prohibited left
turns at East Hamilton street.
Clifton Leroy BARLEY, rs, was
named to the police force and went
on duty today. He is a Navy vet
eran Of World War II with Is
months overseas service and lives at
4507 Emerson street and is married.
His starting salary is 81 800 annually
and his first six months service
will be probationary. The town now
has six ful-time and one part-time

Affect Many Nonresidents

Any married person living with
wife or husband whose income was
more than $4,000.
Any married couple living to-
gether whose income was more than
81, 900.
Any person who did more than
S. 900 worth of business last year.
1t doesn't matter if his profits were
not that great, he must file anyway.
Any couple who did more than
$1,000 worth of business last year.
All nonresidents who received
their income through activity in

Denounced by Bowie
In Sentencing Youth

Trial Magistrate Alan Bowie in
Hyattsville Police Court yesterday
denounced the amount of gun car
rying in Prince Georges County as

pended sentence TO a 25-year -old

There are too many men like
you carrying guns around in this
county, Judge Bowie told John N.
Parker, who had been charged with
disorderly conduct and carrying a
concealed weapon. That's how
murders are committed. You could
have killed somebody with that
gun. r don't see why young men
have to go carrying guns around
with them or in their cars.
why, I'm IS years old and I've
never carried gun with me, and
I've travelled through both the up
per and lower parts of the county
at all times Of day and night"
Police had testified that Parker,
while under the influence of liquor
in tavern in the $500 block of
Kenilworth avenue, Hyattsville, had
waved around a As caliber pistol.
He was fined $50 on the conduct
charge, and given a suspended SEN
tence to the Maryland House of
Correction on the weapon charge.
Obviously out Of patience with the
prevalence of similar cases in
Prince Georges, Judge Bowie on one
occasion during the trial shouted at
a witness-"shut up, I'm trying this
case"
Another youth, Mark E. Scheuch,
81, OF Riggs road, Hyattsville, was
held for action of the grand jury
on charges of holdup and robbery.
Judge Bowie released him under
$4,000 bond.
He was charged in connection
with the armed robbery on March

burns on them. An earlier witness.

Federation Requests
Approval Of Bus Line
In Montgomery

The Maryland Public Service
commission was urged to approve
transportation facilities for the Mas
sachusetts avenue extended area In
q resolution approved last night by
the Montgomery County Civic Fed
Grafton.
The commission will hold hear
ing in Baltimore March 26 on two
applications to supply the service
by the Capital Transit Co. and West
moreland and Carderock bus lines.
The Capital Transit Co. was up-
held in its plans to discontinue bus
service on Bradley boulevard be-
tween Radnor and Burdette roads.
for which the commission will con-
duct a hearing April 16. The action
came when the federation declined
to support resolution proposed by
the Bradley Hills and Woodhaven
Citizens Associations asking the
transit firm to RECONSIDER its plans.
Dean j. Locke of the transit COM
pany told the federation this route
is not patronized by the public and
that its maximum passenger load
is less than two persons in the zones
involved. He said drivers assigned
to this route are needed in other
communities where the demand for
service is greater.
A joint meeting of the two asso-
Citations has been called for April q
to work out some way of retaining
service.
The Chevy Chase View Citizens
Association introduced a resolution
asking for change in the building
code to make it unlawful to place
heavy concrete or masonry over
gas pipes entering homes or apart
ments. The resolution was referred
to the Safety Committee.
Two new groups were admitted to
membership. They are the Column
bia Roads and Forest Grove Cit
liens Associations.
