Nine Traffic vioIaiors
Fined as Peniagon S
Court Starts Operation

The Government has taken an
other step toward cleaning up the
so-called twilight zones of law en-
forcement In the District area.
In an effort to bring stricter and
swifter law enforcement on the
network of roads and parking
areas around the Pentagon, United
States Commissioner Stanley King
of the Northern Virginia district
heard cases yesterday in q new
courtroom In the Pentagon. Nine
cases were heard and fines rang
ing from 81 to IS imposed In each
one.
The action setting up the court
was taken under q law passed by
Congress last year granting Pub
lie Building Administration police
at the Pentagon authority to issue
tickets to persons who violate reg
ulations laid down by the PBA.
Previous Fines Questioned.
Military police have issued tick
cts to the violators. but only those
persistent or chronic Tolators

c. B. Mulvehill. manager Of the
Public Building Administration s
Virginia district. explained that
the authority to fine violators had
been obscure and questionable.
Now both building police and
park police will bring cases into
the new court. Offenders have the
right to trial In District Court.
"The regulations covering park
ing and traffic around the Penta-
gon were posted conspiciously on
May 15." Mr.. Mulvehill said.
