HARPERs FERRY, w. va, Sept.
18.-Residents Of this historic town
are watching, with some misgivings,
the progress on the new highway
bridge that will span the Potomac
River about a mile below here.
The new bridge is expected to be
completed between october Is and
November /. It is, Harpers Ferry
residents fear, the first link in a new
highway system that viii isolate this
community from its remunerative
tourist trade.
1t would be wrong to think fof
Harpers Ferry as not progressive.
The residents are all for the new
bridge and the better highway 1t
will bring. What they want. how
ever, Is to be sure of q highway
through the town.
Tourists don't turn back" said
Mayor L. D.. Nichols. People are
in hurry these days. Even If
they've heard Of Harpers Ferry all
Of their lives-how John Brown was
captured here by Col. Robert e. Lee
they simply won't come to see the
town If it's of their main route"
What Harpers Ferry residents
want is for the State Roads Com
mission to continue Route $40, the
highway that connects with Routes
II and so at winchester, Va, and
with Route 40 at Frederick, Md,
through the town. The new bypass,
then, could serve heavy traffic and
through vehicles not desiring to
visit the town.
Mayor Nichols said the Town
Council has requested the roads
commission to reconstruct the
bridge across the Shenandoah River
near where 1t flows into the Po-
tomac. This bridge was washed out
by the 1886 flood. The piers, still
standing, have been pronounced
sound by highway engineers.
BY rebuilding q light bridge here,
Mayor Nichols said, Harpers Ferry
still would remain on the through
route. The combination highway
railway bridge that now serves all
traffic through the town, could then
be abandoned.
Even after the new span is COM
pleted, Harpers Ferry residents viii
have about two years to iron out
their difficulties with the State
Roads Commission. It is estimated
that it will take that long to COM
plete the road along the far bank
of the Potomac and Shenandoah

Prince Georges County volunteer
firemen more than six hours of toll

The fire, which apparently had

is. located.
Firemen had to remove most OF
the 200 tons Of coal in the silo be-
fore the fire could be put out. A
borrowed bulldozer also was pressed
into service to assist the firemen in
clearing coal from beneath the
silo's chutes while water was being
poured on the burning coal.
Employees Of the plant told fire.
men. they had detected odors of
smoke for several days before they
found out where it was coming
from. Firemen said the fire was
started by spontaneous combustion.
Responding to the alarm were fire
trucks from the Mount Rainier, Bla-

There were almost 10000 boys
there" says Eddie. 'It was really
fun to talk to boys from other parts
of the world and find out what they

spoke English. so 1t wasn'tt hard
talking with them.

any reason why grownups could not
get together and talk things over

A high spot of the trip, although
not included IN the official itinerary;
was q visit to the French "Follies. "
Eddie admits the "Follies" we're as
interesting" as anything he saw on
the trip.

Barker Indicates
NoEa:r|y End Of
RentContro|s
Board Head Urges
No Change After Study
Of Nearby Maryland

Continuation of rent control in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties, at least until Federal con-
trolls expire February %. 1s48, ap-
peared assured today in the light of
statement by Harry A. L. Barker,
chairman of the Rent Advisory
Board for that Maryland area.
At meeting of the group yester-
day, in the area rent control office
in Silver Spring, Mr.. Barker, who
also is Mayor of Riverdale, told the
board he believes:
/. Rent controls should not be
lifted. He said he had gone all
over" Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties and found no
place that to my satisfaction should
be decontrolled"
Says Board Is Representative.
2. Present rent levels should be
maintained unless justification is
presented to the board to show in
all fairness to landlords and tenants
that they should be increased or
decreased"
He also declared he thought the
board was very representative" but
that he felt it would be better bal
anced" if one of the members was
renter"
At the same time, however, he
emphasized that the board would be
absolutely neutral" and would be
fair to both landlords and tenants.
No matter how we act" he
asserted, I'VE are going to be criti-
cized. But If we conscientiously do
our duty in equity and justice to
ALL we should pay no attention to
those criticisms"
Urges Publicity for Meetings.
Reporters, he said, should be per-
mitted to attend all board meetings
and inform the public of the group
discussions except when some per-
sonal issue comes up not of general
public interest"
But in such cases, he empha-
sized, reporters should be informed
of the boards decision.
Expressing regret at the recent
resignation of Rhees Burket from
the board, Mr.. Barker said he ex-
pected Gov. Lane to recommend the
appointment of additional members
soon.
He also asked the board to con-
slider requesting Housing Expediter
Frank r. Creedon to assign an at
torney to Maryland to handle rent
case settlements. At present, accord
ing to Mr.. Barker, such settlements
for this area are handled in Phila-
delphia-
Three Functions Outlined.
Earlier, Thomas E. Barrett, area
attorney, told the board it had
three principal functions-to rec
ommend decontrol of the area or
any portion of it, to study the ade-
quacy of the general rent level in
the area, and to check general
operations of the rent Office with
particular reference to Hardship"
cases.
Mr.. Barrett said the board will be
called on soon by Mr.. Creedon tc
recommend whether rent control
should be continued in the two coun-
ties. He added that any recommen-
dation OF the board appropriately
substantiated and in accordance with
the law must be approved by tie
housing expediter.
The board voted to meet at 2 pm.
on the first Wednesday of each
month and to hold special meetings
at the call of the chairman. Besides
Mr.. Barker, board members are
Emanuel Zalesak, Kent r. Mullikin,
Frank l.. Hewitt, jr., and S. Walter
Bogley,
