Your record shows" Judge Wood.
ward told Morrow today, that while
your appeal from this courts sen.
tence last December was pending
before the Court of Appeals. you
were gambling in Prince Georges

convicted there.
Your conduct shows you deserve
the maximum penalty. You appar-
emily don't intend to stop gambling
and the only way know to stor
you is to put you in Jail"

Republicans Explain
Board Race Refusal

An Arlington Republican leader
told a radio audience last night that
his party decided against entering
candidate in the race for the
County Board in order to prevent
automatic victory for the Demo-
cratic machine"
Stephen M. Smith. president OF
the Arlington Republican Club. said
In a speech over Station WEAM
that since a nonpartisan candidate
has announced already for the one
board vacancy, the Republicans
would be helping split the oooosi-
ton vote to the Democrats II the
COP had an entry. The Democrats
have called a primary August to
nominate for the office.
Mr.. Smith said the Republican
leadership believed that a large
segment of our population who are
employed by the Federal Govern
ment and who are not allowed to
participate in party politics should
have a voice in the local elections y
The Civil Service Commission
holds that the Hatch Act prohibits
Federal workers from participating

Drafts on 20-Mi|e
Belt Around Area

First drafts of its comprehensive
plan for greater Washington, en-
bracing a 20-mile belt around the
city, were considered today by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
These include studies Of popula-
ton, transit and thoroughfares,
obsolete and blighted areas, zoning
and other major factors in the
Washington area. Location Of future
Government buildings will be an
important item in the program.
Under the direction of Maj. Gen.
U. S. Grant III, commission chair
man, various studies have been url-
der way for some time, and now pre-
Iliminary drafts are ready. Today's
presentation was In the nature OF q

be eiven public release piecemeal
but will await final approval OF the
plan.

inson and Attorney Richard r. At
kinson, agency members. attended
the conference. Gen. Grant SAID
there will probably be another meet
ing in the fall with agency members.
General Topics Discussed.
1nasmuch as neither the agency
nor the commission has funds with
which to implement the redevelop-
ment program, yesterdays discus
sion dealt with general topics. But
particular attention was paid to
Marshall Heights in Southeast. one
of the first areas slated for atten-
ton, when funds become available
from Congress.
Gen. Grant pointed out the Dis
Ftrict Commissioners lack police au-
thority here to put into force a

Prince Georges Board
Ito Be Asked 10 Make
Jail Escape-Proof

The Prince Georges County Com
missioners will be asked next Tues
day to take immediate steps to pre-
vent escapes from the county jail
at Upper Marlboro.
With two of the five prisoners who
broke out of the two-story brick
building Wednesday night still at
large, Sheriff T. Ward Martin, who
has charge of the Jail, reported yes
terday he would appeal to the COM
missioners during their next weekly
board session.
An adequate alarm system may
have prevented the men from get
ting out or may have resulted in
their capture earlier, the sheriff
declared.
Ten Have Escaped.
Escape Of the five men. all colored
brought the total who have escaped
during the seven-month period tc
10. Four men escaped last Decem-
Der. and a 17-year old Rockville gir
walked OUT three months ago
using key from some unknown
source.
Mr.. Martin said he would ask the
commissioners to carry out recon-.
mendations made by the April grand
jury and several subsequent juries
These include a better alarm sys-
tenn and direct phone communica.
tions between the jail and the police
station, a block away.
One suggestion to be offered BY
Mr.. Martin is the installation of ar
interof1ice communication system
which could be turned on all thu
time and keep the Jail in constant
contact with the police station.
Alarm System Held Needed.
Had such set been available
Wednesday night, police may have
gotten to the jail in time to prevent
the men from getting away, Mr.
Martin stated. As it was. William
Richards, the jailer, who was over
come by one Of the five prisoners he
had permitted to use a pay phone
in the outer lobby of the jail, had tc
let a trusty of the Jail run to the
police station. The fleeing men dis.
connected the phone before leav.
ing the jail
With a proper alarm system, po-
lice could have nipped the thing ir
the bud" Mr.. Martin declared.

Parking Headache Ahead

Unless somebody comes up with solu-
/ ton pretty soon, downtown washington
] IL going to have bigger parking mead
ache than ever before, once the new ST.
] $50, 900 General Accounting Office Building
Is completed Present plans for the struc-
ture make inadequate provision for off,
street parking of the automobiles which
inevitably will be drawn into the already
congested streets of the Pension Square
area.
Under long drawn plans for the huge,
seven-story block-type building, only
about eight hundred cars will be accom-
modated in a parking space in the base
ment This is but fraction of the total
number OF automobiles and trucks which
are expected to serve the new building
and It's prospective satellite business es-
Establishments when it is fully occupied.
The building is designed to hold some
eight thousand employees.
The General Accounting Office now is
scattered over the city in a score of
buildings The Capitalization of Its activ-
tiles will greatly increase efficiency and
result in tremendous rental savings. But
the traffic and parking difficulties that
are bound to follow the concentration of
operations near the old Pension Office
are a serious drawback.
The trouble is that the area selected for
the GAO building is heavily built up.
Except for Pension Park, there are no
wide open spaces for construction of
parking lots, as was the case with the
Pentagon project. Certainly it would be
unwise to take over any of the park land
for automobile storage, for there is little
enough park space in this congested dis
trict as it is. Perhaps private industry
can be induced to construct parking lots
or buildings in the vicinity. There should
be no lack of customers. Here is prob
lem to which the District Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency should give intensive
study without delay. With construction
scheduled to start within few months,
there is little time left to solve the parking
puzzle which is in the off1ng.
