Only One Try, the illustrated
question and answer series on Wash
ington's traffic laws appearing in
The Evening Star daily, has been
issued in pamphlet form by The
Star and Is now being distributed
by the TRAFFIC Department to all ap-
plicants for drivers permits.
The booklet, totaling 48 pages,
contains 46 of the problems and Is
preceded by q foreword written by
George E. Keneipp, Director OF We
hicles and Traffic.
In his comment Mr.. Keneipp de-
clared:
."At the moment, it is my opinion
that far more attention should be
given to teaching American motor
lists the rules of the road, and the
rights of pedestrians and other
drivers, than has been the general
practice since traffic safety became
one of the principal problems OF
the DAY.
"It is not that too much time and
money have been Spent on engineer
ling and enforcement, but that these
topics have received too much notice
while that OF education has been
allowed to sag.

Falls Church Is Asked
To Allow Apartments
On Great Falls Street

Fails Church residents will soon
be given an opportunity to express
their views to the town council
on the question of rezoning tract
in the heart of the towns oldest
residential section for an apart
ment development.
Last night the Town Planning
Commission received a preliminary
application to rezone from residen-
tial la to RIM multiple dwell
ing) approximately 81 acres at 20l
Great Falls street and extending
through the entire block to Park
avenue. The application, which
will soon be set for public hear
ing, was submitted to the Planning
Committee by James Keith, Thomas
E. Edwards and B. H. Hardy.
Price Of $4,000 Set.
Mr.. Hardy, who intends to pur-
chase the acreage from the Keith
estate for $32, 600 If the rezoning
is approved, told the commission
mis- plans for the development were
very tentative at this stage" but
that he intended to build a de-
velopment which would be q real
asset to Falls Church and i'm
prove the value Of surrounding
property"
The applicants told the commits
sion that the property was now oc-
cupied by an old house which dur
ing the war was leased to the Ma
tional Housing Authority and SUBJ
divided into seven apartments, all
of which are now rented. They
said that the house needed con-
siderable repairs.
The property, Mr.. Keith said, Is
under lease to the Government for
four more years but it is believed
that, in view of the difficulties the
Government is having in servicing
the apartments, 1t would be glad to
return them to the owner.
Ellison Street Rezoning.
The commission will make a re-
port to the council as to whether 1t
favors rezoning. In the past it has
been opposed to so-called spot zon-
ing" Of this type.
The commission voted to recon-
mend to the town council that 1t
approve the rezoning OF certain
property at the rear Of Rust's Hard
ware Store and facing on Ellison
street from r la to RIM to permit
construction of an apartment build
ing of 20 units. The hearing on the
rezonlng will be held at 8 pm. Mon
day at the Town Hall.

only One Try,' Star Booklet,
Issued With Drivers Permits

President Truman was at his high
way conference last May when ne
declared there are too many nuts
and .morons' behind the wheels OF
motor cars today.
These nuts and 'morons' claim
most of the traffic attention Of our
police departments
There is much to be learned
about the rules of, the road which
has as its basis the proper attitude
of the driver-an attitude which
realizes that others have rights
which must be respected.
"I can think of nothing better to
serve as a 'refresher course IN
driving regulations than this booklet
issued by The Washington Star. 1t
combines under one cover the in
teresting series of sketches, ques-
tions and answers that have ap-
peared in The Star during recent
weeks. If read and needed by the
driving public the number Of acci-
dents hereabouts will be continually
reduced In the future, instead OF
surging up again after the present
idea of safety first has spent itself"
Altogether, $4,000 copies of the
pamphlet have been presented to
the Trafic Department by The
Star as q public service.

intention to return to the Navy if

Needed, Tuck Believes
BY the kssoeioied Press

RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 18.-Gov.
Tuck said yesterday that he believed
some adjustment in rents should be
allowed landlords because Of in
creased costs of materials and up
keep of property during the last
few years.
The Governors statement was
made at his press conference in
answer to question as to his views
on control of rents. He pointed out
that Virginia has no law to regulate

of such statute If it became neces-
sary would have to be done by the
General Assembly.

Alexandra Unable
To Care for Runaways

Alexandria's need for juvenile IA
cilities was shown in a police report
today concerning five runaway boys,
aged is to II, who were picked up
at their parents requests and then
released because adequate deten-
ton quarters were lacking.
Asked by police for authorization
to hold the youths, Judge Marion
B. West of the Juvenile and Do
mestic Relations Court instead or
dered them turned over to the We'll
fare Department.
Miss Barbara Watkins, welfare
superintendent, later informed Judge
West she couldn't accept the charges
as the department had no facilities
to take care Of them.
Two of the boys, both IS, from
Granttown, w. Va, eventually were
turned over to an uncle found to be
a resident of the city.
The other three boys, all from
Waltham, Mass, spent the night
at the home of Nicholas A. Cola
santo, Alexandria attorney, who
took them when he learned there
were no other facilities available
Their parents took them home yes
terday.
Judge West said the police are
not to blame and that any criticism
Of the department would be 'un-
sportsmanlike" He added that the
situation could be remedied If the
city government would take imme-
diate action to provide facilities.
Judge West said the plan to con-
vert Fire Station No. 5 to provide

tion to court chambers, not only is
inadequate, but economically in

Charter Group
Calls County's
Staff Inefficient
Committee Accuses
Democrats of Using
Political Influence

In another blast at the Mont
gomery County Democratic organ
ization, the County Charter Com
mittee today charged "inefhciency
and lax discipline" among employees
in many county Offices as a result OF
political influence"
Because of this condition, the
committee said, tax money is being
spent for work that is never done.
The committee cited the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission where certain
employees are lax and inefficient
because of the presence of the coun-
ty political leader on the commits
sion"
Absenteeism Charged.
These employees, who the commit
tee said are under political pro-
tection," were accused by the COM
mittee of refusing to work and
staying away from their Offices for
a matter of weeks"
The committee refused to identify
the employees. 1t also refused to
identify the county political leader" "
although the group apparently
referred to E. Brooke Lee, head of
the county Democratic organization
and vice chairman of the planning
commission.
The use of the planning COM
mission by the county political
leader to promote his own political
ends, which was pointed out by the
Charter Committee earlier this year,
never has been denied by the county
political organization" the COM
mittee declared.
Accuses JanitOrs.
The committee added that there
has even been a problem of getting
work out of courthouse janitors be-
cause political appointees and friends
Of the county boss were involved"
I'm failing to answer these
charges" the committee asserted,
"the incumbent political organiza-
tion is following its standard pat
tern of failing to answer any specific
charges of bad county government
and is relying on merely dodging the
issue"
