10 Reroute
Pentagon Buses
Brings Protest
Arlington PUG Says
Two Virginia Lines
Face Longer Trips

Impending changes in the routing
OF two Virginia bus lines within the
Pentagon road network has been
protested by the Arlington Public
Utilities Commission, it was learned
today.
The commission has asked the
Military District of Washington to
postpone execution of its directive
to alter the routes of the Alexandria,
Bancroft g. Washington Bus Lines
and the Arlington g. Fairfax Motor
transportation Co., scheduled to be-
come effective Monday.
The two lines would be routed
away from the south parking area
OF the Pentagon and forced to double
back over a system of roads to enter
Columbia pike within the Federal
area. The new route would add SO
OF a mile to each trip, Harry A,
Grant, commission member, declared.
Based on present operating sched-
ules of the two lines, this would
mean the addition of $50 miles
daily, he said. Off1cials of the two
transit companies, however, have
informed the commission the added
distance would slow down the head
way and thus probably reduce the
number of trips made each day.
Although the Arlington Public
Utilities Commission is without
authority to direct routing within
the Federal area, Mr.. Grant ex-
planned it has interceded because
OF the threatened curtailment of
services within the county for COM
munities in South Arlington, in
cluding darlington, Parkfairfax and
Shirlington, as well as those along
Washington boulevard in the CEN
trail and northern portions of the
county.
The commission instructed its
chairman, Milton E. Diehl to seek a
delay in the execution of the order
and to request a joint meeting of
the group with representatives of
the Military District, the Pentagon
and the Navy Annex. The Navy.
Mr.. Diehl declared, also is opposed
to the change, since the rerouting
will add to the time necessary to
travel between Washington and the
annex.

| Fairfax Board
Seeks 10 Avert
vepco Strike
Action Would Cuuse
Heavy Loss in Farm,
Dairy Products

Fearing that threatened elec-
trical workers strike in Virginia
will hamper food production In
Fairfax County, the County Board
Of Supervisors today was on record
requesting the negotiating board Of
the Virginia Electric & Power Co
and the International Brotherhood
|of Electrical Workers to arbitrate
their differences to avoid a walkout
A resolution by A. D. Gerkins
Vienna, was adopted yesterday
stressing the danger of food spoil
age, particularly on dairy farms in
the event Of a strike scheduled for
April /.
State seizure of the VEPCO sys-
tenn In the event of strike ap-
peared likely on the basis of pre-
dictions by members of the General
Assembly, the Associated Press re-
ported.
Tuck Silent in Matter.
High State officials cited Gov
Tuck's decisive action in the recent
Hampton Roads ferry strike. How
ever, Gov. Tuck would not comment
on the VEPCO situation as he has
not investigated the matter.
Mr.. Gerkins told the Fairfax su-
pervisors the majority of dairy farms
in Fairfax County, one of the primo
ipal sources of the District milk
supply, depend largely on electrical
power to operate milking machinery
cooling systems and farm water sup
plies.
Mr.. Gerkins said the majority of
the diaries would cease operations II
the strike begins. This would mean
spoilage Of thousands Of gallons of
milk daily. It also would result in a
great loss Of other food products
stored in frozen food lockers in this
area, 1t was said.
At its meeting yesterday, the board
also authorized an application for
grant from the Federal Works
Agency for funds to survey the need
for lateral sewer lines in sanitary
district No. /. The exact amount
viii not be determined until report
is obtained from the consultant
engineer.
To Study Plan for Ballot.
The board also took steps to de-
termine If property owners within
the sanitary district desired to vote
on a proposed bond issue for the
construction of lateral lines, Com
monwealth Attorney Hugh B. Marsh
was asked to arrange meeting with
interested citizens to discuss the
project.
-Four rezoning applications were

Court Seeks 10 Curb
Iniudicious Contacts
In Crowded Corridor,
By Horriet Griffiths

Municipal Court officials will con-
fer on measures to halt inter-
mingling in court corridors of at
torneys. witnesses and jurors await
ing impannelment, it was learned
today after disclosure that a pros
pective juror had discussed pend
ing drunken driving trial with the
defense attorney.
Any remedial measures at present
would have to take into considera-
ton space limitations in the court,
owing to District Courts overflow
into part of the Municipal Court
buildings, it was pointed out.
Trial Postponed.
Meanwhile, it was uncertain
whether further action would be
taken regarding yesterdays Incl
dent, in which Judge Armond w.
Scott postponed the drunken driving
trial until after the term of service
OF the present jury panel, when a
prospective juror testified he had
discussed an aspect of the case with
Fred Icenhower. defense attorney.
The juror, William H. Renkin.
1926 Seventeenth street NV, said
Mr.. Icenhower mentioned the case
in the hall in connection with a dis
cussion of the Police Departments
alcohol tests in drunken driving ar
rests. He said Mr.. Icenhower told
him the tests are not now compul-
sorry and mentioned the possibility
OF a suit against the District gov
ernment. Mr.. Icenhower said he
did not know Mr.. Renkin was a
Juror.
Two special officers, witnesses in
the case against Vincent Hutchinson,
80, of the 100 block of F street S.W..
sewer division employe arrested De-
cember %, alleged the attorney had
threatened them with suit for false
arrest.
Might Lead to Restrictions.
They arr James Edward Washing
ton, ITO @ street NV, and Bernard
Morton, 1881 Euclid street NV, who
said the attorney approached them
in a corridor as they stood with Po-
liceman Frederick N. Weber of the
Traffic Department, arresting Of
fcer.
Official action to forestall such oc-
currences In the future might mean
confinement of jurors awaiting call
IN waiting room behind the court,
or when that room is being used for
deliberation, to the courtroom itself,
one official said. It was indicated
also that attorneys and other per-
sons not attached to the court might
be restricted to the public halls lead
ing to the front entrances of the
courtrooms.
Commenting on the cramped
space conditions, Chief Judge
George P. Barse said they exist in
both the civil and criminal divisions
Of the court.
"Our trouble is, we have given So
much OF our space to District Court, ,"
he said. District Court can't help
that, but we need the space they
have, and until we get a new court
the crowded conditions will
continue"
