40 YEARS

GALESBURG, III. -AP - Forty
years ago Glenn Glass began to
look around for pair of mill
stones. He set great store by them.
His great-grandfather had INSTALL
ed them, back in 1881. in the first
water powered mill in Knox
county. The mill was abandoned
during the Civil War and the
stones vanished.
Glass picked up a few clues
as the years went by. He learned
one of the stones had been bur-
led in a well. He gave UP on that
one. But recently he unearthed
the other stone. II was under a
barn on the Willard Johnson
farm.

A temporary injunction today had
stopped installation Of parking
meters in the Queens Chapel shop
ping center area, West Hyattsville.
The writ was granted yesterday by
the Prince Georges County Circuit
Court.
The move was the first Of two
threatened court actions aimed at
preventing installation of 200 park
ing meters in Hyattsville and West
HyattSville.
The injunction was issued by
Judge Charles C. Marbury, after a
bill of complaint had been filed by
Attorney T. Hammond Welsh jr., on
behalf of Newton Properties, Inc,
owner of most of the stores in the
West Hyattsville business district.
Contract on Trial Basis.
Named as defendants were the
Mayor and City Council of Hyatts-
vile, the Circle Paving Co. of Wash
ington, and the Mi-Co Parking
Meter Co. of Covington, KY. The
latter company was awarded an
S11, 700 contract September 7 to pro-
vide and install the meters on a
nine-month trial basis. In turn,
the Kentucky firm engaged the
Washington company to do the
actual installation work.
The plaintiff contends the park
ing area is privately owned.
In granting the injunction, Judge
Marbury directed the plaintiff to
post a $1,000 bond to cover any
financial loss to the community
should the injunction later be dis
solved. The defendants must now
file an answer, after which the court
can either vacate the temporary
order or grand permanent injunc-
ton
Additional court action was prom
ised by business and professional
men of Hyattsville through their
attorney, Hervey G. Machen, in an
effort to halt installation of the
meters in the rest of Hyattsville.
Meter Posts Installed.
Meanwhile. installation of the
posts on which the meters will be
mounted was completed in both
HyattSville and West Hyattsville
yesterday. Under the contract, the
work was supposed to have taken
about three weeks.
The community also ran into an
other snag when it attempted to in
stall the posts yesterday in front OF
the County Service Building, Hyatts-
vile. Following a consultation with
county officials, it was decided to
remove five posts, which had been
installed there. because they were
in front of a county building. The
matter will be taken up within a
few days with the county commits
sioners. according to Hyattsvllle
City Treasurer Howard Dingee.
Merchants of the two business dis
trcts have been opposed to the
meters all along. but the City Coun-
Gil voted, to 2, in favor of them.

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 10
Party Chairman G. Alvin Massen-
burg has called a meeting Of the
Democratic State Central Commit
tee for September Is in Richmond.
The meeting. announced yester-
day by Secretary Jesse Dillon at
the chairman's request, may serve
as 4 wedge into the wall silence
that has surrounded the intentions
OF leaders on which way the
strength of the organization will be
thrown in the presidential race.
Mr.. Dillon's announcement was
merely that the committee meeting
had been called for 2 pm. Saturday,
September Is, at Hotel Richmond.
1t will be the first gathering of the
Central Committee since the State
convention of July 2 which named
Mr.. Massenburg chairman and sent
delegates to the National party con-
vention in Philadelphia on the un-
successful task Of working for the
nomination Of Gen. Eisenhower.
The Central Committee probably
will take action on just how much
effort should be expended in sup
port Of the Truman Barkley presi-
dental ticket. Doubtless State cam
paign headquarters will be estab-
lished to work for the election OF
Senator Robertson and the congress
sfonal candidates. But the general
view was that there would be nc
high pressure campaigning FOR thu
election OF Mr.. Truman in Virginis

Gently he felt the Central Commit
tee had authority to make the re-
placement on the slate under the

der the Democratic Party plan.
Another is whether any OF the
$4,000 reposing in the party till
as a result of the Jefferson-Jackson
Day dinner will be spent on behalf
of the national party candidates.
A late check OF organization
sources indicated that there didn t
seem to be any immediate prospects
OF party leaders making any formal
announcement on whether they
would support the States Rights
Thurmond- Wright ticket or string
