Tuck Says A., B. & ".
Service Into District
Be Continued

State operation of the struck
Alexandria, Bancroft g. Washing
ton Transit Co. into the District
will continue 80 long as nee
sary to safeguard the public
health, safety and welfare" Gov.
Tuck of Virginia said today.
The Virginia Governor made his
statement, according to the Asso-
ciated Press, after an official OF
the union representing employees
of the bus firm questioned the
States authority to operate the
line outside Virginia.
The State took over operation
of the line July 81 under its Public
Utilities Labor Relation Act to
prevent suspension of service after
the union members voted to strike.
Fred Dominy, president of Local
1131 of the Amalgamated Asso-
citation of Street Electric Railway
and Motor Coach Employees, AF'L,
earlier said he planned to ask the
Interstate Commerce Commission
to rule on whether Gov. Tuck
could extend jurisdiction of the
Virginia law into the District.
Gov. Tuck said he consulted the
ICC and various other authorities
before he decided to take over the
transit company. in the name of
the State. He added that workers
had readily expressed a willing
ness to work for the State.
The Governor said the bus op-
erations will continue into and
between Washington and Virginia
Before a decision was made in
this matter and before the com.
monwealth seized and began oper-
ating these properties, consulted
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, the Board of Commissioners
of the District of Columbia and
the Secretary of Defense, as well
as governing bodies of localities
concerned in Virginia, who con-
CURED in the necessity for and the
propriety of State operation.
I'm addition, employees of the
company through their collective
bargaining representatives readily
expressed willingness to work for
the commonwealth.
II do not intend to relent or
change my position in the slight
est. The full effect of the Vir-
ginia Public Utilities Labor Re-
lations Act has now been brought
into effect. I shall not hesitate
to use all other lawful powers re-
quired to maintain these essential
services"

With Interim Council
Denied by Esworthy

Former Montgomery County
Commissioner George C. Es-
worthy denied yesterday he had
been overpaid while serving on
the interim County Council last
winter and challenged the present
council to sue him if it believed
he had received any money to
which he was not entitled.
He also denied he had filed or
authorized any one to file claim
with the council for $40 for at
tending seven assessment hearings
during that period.
The council last Tuesday turned
down a request for the $40 from
F. Barnard Welsh, who said he
represented Mr.. EsWorthy. In its
opinion, the council expressed the
belief Mr.. Esworthy and the four
other former commissioners had
been overpaid from $85 to 1886
each for the period between the
adoption of the charter in Novem-
ber, 1948, and January 18, 1949
when the council took Office.
Letter Sent to Council.
At the same time, Council Pres
ident Frederic P. Lee said the
group had not considered "for the
present" any action to recover the
alleged overpayments.
Mr.. Esworthy, in letter to the
council, said there has never been
any suggestion that in retiring to
private life, I was obligated to
Montgomery County for money re-
ceived by me and to which I was
not entitled"
IF, however, you believe that
any sum of money is due" he told
the council, then I suggest that
you take appropriate action to re-
cover the amount. feel that you
would be derelict in your duties if
this action was not taken = 80
He said that shortly before the
council took Office, the commits
sioners had discussed with County
Manager Irving G. McNayr the
matter of payment for attending
assessment hearings.
Two weeks ago. he asserted,
Mr.. McNayr told him he had pre-
sented a claim for the money to
the attorney for the council. He
quoted the county manager as
saying the former commissioners
soon would receive their checks.
Denies Authorizing Action.
IT have never filed a claim with
the council for assessment fees
or any other sum of money for
services rendered to Montgomery
County" Mr.. Esworthy wrote.
I'm addition, I have never au-
thorized or directed any person
to file any claim on my behalf
Mr.. McNayr was the only indi-
vidual who ever mentioned that
q claim was being presented, and
if such a claim was presented 1t
was done by him and not at my
request. ."
Mr.. Welsh insisted, however,
that he had been authorized to
press a claim by Mr.. Esworthy
and added that he also had
checked up on the progress Of
settlement.

THE POLICE FORCE NEEDS STUDY

II POLICE FORCE NEEDS STUDY
0 H LONGEST time the St. Croix Police force has
been steadily going down. 1t has changed its head SO often
that the Acting Director Matthias has served as almost a per-
manent head. But not only does the head create a problem,
but the members of the staff change all too frequently, deny
ing the stability which is SO necessary for continued good SER
vice. And all this strikes at the all-important matter of morale.
AT THE PRESENT time the force is a little over half
OF its required strength, SO that police duty has to be sacri-
tlced in many quarters. There was a time not long ago when
the staff boosted at least three motor cycle patrols and even
horse patrols were planned. Today there is one motorcycle
patrol, and the burden OF patrolling the entire rural districts
has fallen to Patrolman Wifred Clarke at the Kings Hill
Station. This is most unfortunate to say the least, for it is
absolutely impossible tor one officer to properly serve so
wide an area. 1t is unfortunate that law and order are we'll
observed here, or crime could become an uncomfortable pro-
blem.
ONE OF H principal reasons for the limited force
and the low morale is the ~frightfully low salaries paid. In this
DAY OF rising cost of living, it is impossible for salaries Of five
or even SIX years ago to meet the situation. If an officer of the
law is to perform his duties efficiently and in the best atti-
tude, he must devote all his time and energy to his work, but
this cannot be expected where salaries are so low that the
temptation to engage in other occupations arises. And this
condition will continue unless and until something definite
is done to correct it.
AS A S of many of these conditions qualified
men are drawn to the force only upon a temporary basis & as
soon as their aims & detectives are accomplished, theynatural
l resign. Adding to the seriousness of the situation also is the
method of promotion, which, in the face of all these other
problems must come slowly and far between. Promotion is
always an incentive, and where the possibilities are meager
it is to be expected that men will not be attracted to the
force, and if employed, will not remain long enough to pro-
