Pyramid Clubs to get. evidence
To-Day he reported:

E A determined Pyramid clubber
one of hundreds whose calls
blanketed newspaper offices-con-
fided:
In Virginia I'm safe"
How long she will continue to
be safe" was a moot question
In Fairfax County. Common
wealth's Attorney Hugh Marsh
said he has asked police to inves-
tigate pyramid clubs to determine
If they violate Virginia laws. AL
exandria police expressed the view
today that pyramid clubs violate
a city ordinance, but they are
still investigating.
Arlington Commemorative At
torney Denman T. Rucker said
he believes the clubs are illegal in
Virginia, but plans to wait until
the end of the week before taking
action.
! I'm going to wait and see If
they don't run out of gas Mr..
Rucker said.
! 1t. Blick on the Job.
Montgomery County States At
torncy Walter w. Dawson said he
does not plan to do anything
about the clubs at present. but
will investigate any cases where
warrants are sworn out, Prince
Georges County States Attorney
Gwynn Bowie said he hadn't
thought about it.
The extent of the pyramid craze
in Washington was indicated by a
women who called to observe:
The police can't put two-thirds
of Washington in Jail. They'd
have to have a concentration
camp"
Actually. 1t. Blick said he would
concentrate ons places where
money is supposed to be collected.
He showed up in person at 4801
Connecticut avenue last night be-
cause he had heard several pay
offs were scheduled.
That all was not well at payoff
time, supposed to be from 7:30 on,
first came out when little clusters
of people gathered on the opposite
side of the street from the apart
ment to deliberate the legal risks.
Members Remain in Autos.
/ Meanwhile. pyramiders in cars
began to show up, but they re-
manned in the automobiles on
sighting plainclothes men in the
area. Some of them stayed as
late as II pm, hoping the. .offlcers
would go away. They didn't. In
stead, they lounged around the
area, looking very much like de-
tectives.
Apartment dwellers who were
scheduled to receive the payoffs
were a bit undecided themselves
as to the legality of their role in
the face of the grand jury's ac-
ton.
Il suppose if we've brought
others into the scheme we're Or
ganHers, and that might make
us LIABLE said one.
His phone rang six times within
one hour. Three of the calls were
from jokers. One was from a
friend who laughingly demand
ed" his money. The other two
were from people who wanted to
pay off at the rate Of So each.
They said they'd come over later,
but never did show up. They
might have been outside in a car,
waiting for the coast to clear.

County Council Drops
Plans for Widening
Wisconsin Avenue

Wisconsin Avenue =
Right-of-way difficulties today
led to the Montgomery County
Council to withdraw support of
plans for the widening of Wiscon-
sin avenue from East-West high
way to a point near the Bethesda
Naval Medical Center.
Frederic P. Lee. council presi-
dent. declared the county would
be unable to spend an estimated
$407.000 to acquire land which
owners are unwilling to dedicate
for the long-planned improve
,ment.
In other actions the council:
|. Authorized an economic
financial and social survey of the
county to assist with the plan
ming of financing of public i'm
provementS. For this work it re-
tanned a New York firm of con-
sultants. Wainwright. Rsmsey &;
Lancaster. at a fee of $4,000 plus
$4,000 for costs.
Capital Improvement.
2. Announced plans to prepare
a 5-year capital improvement
budget.
3. Rescinded the action of its
predecessor, the Board of County
Commissioners. in rezoning for
commercial purposes property
near the Army Map Service Build
ing on Macarthur boulevard.
Mr.. Lee explained that the
council reversed its position on
the Wisconsin avenue work be-
cause the owners of 1.500 square
feet of the $4,000 square feet
needed appear unwilling to dedi-
cate rights of way.
He said that when the council
approved the project plan of the
State Roads Commission several
weeks ago it was assured that
very few condemnation proceed
ings would be necessary.
Urged to Reconsider.
The Bethesda Chamber of
Commerce has decided to try to
solve the impasse by urging the
property owners to reconsider
their position.
Under terms of the resolution
authorizing the financial survey
the council specified that the
work would include a study of
practices and finances of two BIZ
county agencies. the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
and the Maryland-National Capt.
tai Park and Planning Commis-
sion.
The Macarthur boulevard zon-
ing action had been urged by
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission, the Ma
tional Park Service. the Army
Corps of Engineers and about 300
property owners in the vicinity.
The former commissioners had
approved an application by Louis
Herwitz. who proposed to create
a resort" area in Glen Echo
Heights.
Opinion Quoted.
The Councils opinion today
declared:
Neither the application nor the
resolution of approval of the
County Commissioners designates
Nth any reasonable approach to
2ccuracy the property to be re-
zoned. The resolution is
therefore void for uncertainty 80
and should be rescinded. A further
hearing on the application would
De futile since it does not afford
basis for any valid rezoning action
by the County Council"
The opinion stated that whereas
the application specified a tract of
1.03 acres. actually it contained
more than seven acres.

Extra Taxes, Penalties Net
Record $2,235,S22,11O
By the Associotsd Press

A record total of $2,235, ,822,110
in extra taxes and penalties was
collected by the Internal Revenue
Bureau in 1948, the Treasury re-
ported today.
Criminal prosecutions for tax
evasion reached a new high with
338 persons convicted and fined
81 sol 900 in addition to drawing
prison terms. They got nicked
too, for the evaded taxes, interest
and penalties.
Only eight persons who went to
trial on tax evasion cases were
acquitted.
Some 3,184 Investigations into
fraud cases." some of which will
go to strial later, accounted for
$237 ,878,l0 of the total extra COL
lections. Indictments were OBJ
tained against 424 persons.
Most of the extra tax collections,
however, resulted from the cor
rection Of mistakes" Secretary Of
the Treasury Snyder said.
| With $4,000 900 persons making
income tax returns each year, he
said, ut is not uncommon to find
numerous mistakes due to faulty

Korea Seeks j. ). Aid
In Doubling Army

SEOUL, Korea. Mar. 12.-Fear-
full Of Communist North Korea,
President Syngman Rhee is send
ing a personal representative to
Washington to seek help in dou-
bling the present 50.000-man
South Korean army.
Chough Pyung OK. former ma
tional police director, is scheduled
to take of for Washington Mon
day in quest Of arms and other
equipment.
Close associates Of the South
Korean president said Chough
would present the belief that the
present vast discrepancy between
the northern and southern forces
invited invasion OF the south by
the Soviet-sponsored northern
regime.
President Rhee himself has said
previously that only the presence
of a token American force in the
south and the current visit Of the
United Nations Korean Commits
sion has deferred the north from
attack.
North Korean armed strength
has been estimated at 100000 to
300, 900. The south has $4,000 men
armed partly with American and
partly with old Japanese weapons.
Chough is to seek arms for 50,-
900 more, plus equipment for a
reserve Of another $4,000. In ad-
dition, South Korea has a police
force almost as large as the army.

Forrestui Denies Existence
Of BioIoqicdI Super-Wedpon

by the selection and dissemina-
ttions of the proper biological
agent ="
In such warfare either epi-
demic or non-epidemlc diseases
might be used. In the language Of
biological warfare, an epidemic
disease is one that is easily and
rapidly spread from person to per-
son, animal to animal, or plant
to plant. A non-apidemic disease
spreads less easily and therefore
would be stricted largely to per-
sons, animals or plants exposed to
the germs as they were distributed
during an attack.
In the case Of epidemic dis
eases of man the factors govern
ing spread are not completely un-
derstood, and in any case not all
are controllable; hence, it is not
at all certain that an epidemic of
significant proportions could be
produced at will.
Even if an epidemic were
started, adequate public health
and sanitation measures and
proper treatment methods prep
erly instituted would tend to limit
the spread and minimize the ef-
fees. The distribution of nom
epidemic disease spreading agents
and toxins would have to be very
widespread to have decisive ef-
feet.
Advance Defense Necessary.
AN important defense against
biological warfare lies in the early
identification of diseases i'm
planted and prompt institution of
countermeasures =. But it is
obvious that extensive prepara-
ton for such defensive measures
must be made in advance of an
attack"
Mr.. Forrestal said that not only
the armed forces, but the Public
Health Service, Agriculture De-
partment and various other Fed
eral, State and municipal agen-
cies as we'll ARE always on the
alert to the problem of biological
warfare. All would play an i'm
portant part in counteracting the
implantation and spread of dis
ease" he said.
AS an example of some of the
Exaggerated impressions as to
the potency and state of develop
ment of biological warfare" Mr..
Forestal said:
1T has been stated that a single
plane with a small bomb filled
with biological agent would be
capable of wiping out the popula-
ton of an entire city. Such a
statement is not in accord with
the facts as we know them today.

Gen. Ho Starts Today
On Cabinet Formation
Nv the Axsoeioted Press

NANKING, Mar. 12.-Gen. Ho
Ying- chin got legislative approval
as premier of Nationalist China
today.
The 60-year-o old friend OF Act
ing President Ii Tsung -jen is ex-
pected to fly to Nanking from
Hangchow tomorrow and begin
formation of q cabinet.
The governments efforts to ar
range peace with the Communists
have been stalled by lack of a
cabinet since Premier Sun Fo and
his administration resigned Tues
day.
While Ho is On the Communists
list of war criminals" as are
most other government leaders,
he has influence with southern
Nationalist military men. This is
expected to strengthen Acting
President Lis authority to speak
for that part of China still held
by the government.
Ii has been inviting various
local leaders to Marking in efforts
to win support, but is still meet
ing resistance, especially in the
south.
The government machinery,
which almost disintegrated after
President Chang Kai-shek re
tired" last January 81. is slowly
beginning to function again.
