Set for Grover
In Bus Death
Youth Freed on Bond
After Not-GuiIty PIeo
To Homicide Charge

Stephen Lee Grover, IS, pleaded
not guilty today and was granted
trial in connection with a negligent
homicide charge lodged against him
as result of the death of William
Friess, IS, in the August 2 auto-bus
crash on Memorial Bridge. -.
Judge Ellen K. Raedy set the
trial for October 81 and continued
bond at $1,000. The youth, who was
at the wheel Of the passenger car
which collided with a Washington-
bound bus when Mr.. Friess was
fatally injured, also is free in 81 900
bond on reckless driving charge.
Grover was found responsible for
the death of the 65-year-old bus
passenger by a coroner's jury yes
terday.

The inquest was delayed until
yesterday to permit injured victims
to recover sufficiently to testify.
Grover is the son of Mrs. Louise

The collision with the Washing
ton-bound Arnold Lines bus sent the
bus crashing through the railing to
a roadway % feet below.
Mr.. Friess died the next day.
Forty-three others suffered injuries.
Testimony brought out that he
was south-bound on the bridge, en-
route to his desk at the Navy De-
partment Annex, when the crash
occurred. The bus driver said the
Grover car swerved into the bus's
path and collided with the packed
vehicle before the driver could
swerve out of the way.
Steering Control Knocked Out.
Mr.. Hills said in a statement to
police that his steering mechanism
was locked by the impact, prevent
ing him from averting the plunge
through the bridge railing. Motor
Vehicle Inspector Charles Violette
testified that his examination of the
wreckage of the bus showed that
the collision rendered its air brakes
and steering apparatus imperative.
Witnesses differed on the speeds
at which both vehicles were travel
ling, but other testimony indicated
the Grover car made a wide turn
into the bridge, skidded into the
wrong side OF the highway and into
the bus while out of control.
Growers statement to police said
he was in state of terror when he
saw the bus in front of him and
remembered nothing after the
collision.

Council in Alexandra
Approves Conversion
OF Firehouse 10 Court

The Alexandri6 City Council last
night voted to in favor of con-
vertin1g the No. 5 Engine Company
firehouse at lis North Patrick street
into a building for the Alexandra
Juvenile and Domestic Relations
Court. =
In taking this action, the Council
followed recommendations of Milton
u. Grigg, Charlottesville architect,
and overruled objections of Judge
Marion B. West of the court, who
has opposed the site ever since it
was tentatively decided upon.
The Council gave City Manager
Carl BudWesky authority to carry
out the suggestions by Mr.. Grigg for
the expenditure of $4,000 to re-
model and partition the firehouse
for court and added that Judge
West should be permitted to advise
on details of the interior arrange
ment.
The council left the way open for
possible future rejection of the
whole fire house plan, however, by
passing measure proposed by City
Councilman Everett A. Hellmust, one
Of the opponents, stating that the
revised plans as agreed upon by Mr..
Budwesky, Mr.. Grigg and Judge
West must be resubmitted to the
council for final approval before the
remodelling is begun.
Judge West said he does not think
the fire house is suitable for a court.
The council also voted to instruct
Mr.. Budwesky and City Engineer C.
Luckett Watkins to negotiate with
Mrs. Catherine Delaney, for the
opening of street which would
connect KenwooA avenue with VAL
ley drive in Parkfairfax.
John r. Schafe. manager of the
newly established Alexandria branch
post Office in the Seminary road
shopping center, said that hundreds
of families in Parkfairfax, Braddock
Heights and Beverly Hills are cut
off from the center because of the
absence of street across the De-
laney property.
The Council accepted from Mr..
Schafe as an official of the Alex
andria Lodge No. 1853, Benevolent
Protective Order of Elks two iron
lungs purchased with funds raised
by public subscription. The lungs
