To Town Population
By J. B. Zotmon
Sfor Stoff Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS. Feb. ia bill to
extend the Rockville town limits
to take in the Twinbrook sub.
division and the colored COM
munities Of Lincoln Park and Haiti
is expected to be introduced soon
in the General Assembly.
Details of the proposal, which
would add about 1000 persons to
the towns present population Of
5000. were outlined yesterday by
Mayor G. Lamar Kelly and Town
Engineer John Mcdonald.
They came here to have DR..
Horace E. Flack. director Of the
Department of Legislative Refer
ence. draft the bill in proper form.
According to Mayor Kelly, resi-
dents of the areas proposed for
annexation had asked to join
Rockville in order to obtain muni-
cipal services.
Special Levies Planned.
He explained the three COM
munities involved would pay for
the services through special assess
ments, thus preventing any ad-
ditional tax burden on Rockville.
The town levy now is 80 cents per
$100.
The mayor added the assess
ment on Twinbrook residents also
would pay for the towns purchase
of the subdivisions 100000 sewage
disposal plant.
I'VE are in excellent financial
shape to expand our boundaries"
Mayor Kelly declared. THE as
sessed valuation of Rockville is
over $6,000,000, while our bonded
Indebtedness is only $155, 900.
Ober Bill Favored.
Meanwhile, the so-called Ober
bill designed to curb subversive &C
tivities in Maryland received a
favorable report yesterday from
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
When the report was brought on
the floor, Senator Louis L. Gold
stein, Democrat, of Calvert County
obtained Senate permission to have
action deferred until today.
He explained he wanted to study
an amendment which would per-
nit State employees discharged for
disloyalty to appeal before jury.
The Senate approved a bill spon-
sored by Senator Goldstein to in
crease membership on the State
Roads Commission from three
to five.
Delegate Joseph A. Mattingly.
Democrat, of St. Marys County
introduced a bill to increase in
come tax exemptions for veterans
!, from 81 1000 to $4,000 for single
,fpersons and from $4,000 to $500
for married couples.
It also would raise the exemp-
, ton for veterans children from
$4O0 to $500 each.
, Senator Edward D. Storm,
! Democrat. of Frederick County
said he would introduce today a
resolution calling for the estab-
lishment of two additional COM
mittees in the House and Senate.
One would deal with county
legislation and the other with
bills for towns and cities.

Fail Left by Cane
Traps Army Fugitives
From Fort Meade
Speeiol Dispatch 10 The Stor

FORT MEADE. Md. Feb. 1s.-
Two Army prisoners who escaped
from the cell block here Wednes-
day night we're recaptured yes
terday by military police who
followed a trail left by a cane the
prisoners used in making their
escape.
The fugitives were found hiding
in woods on the post about 2:30
pm. yesterday. Searching what
was believed the most likely area
for the pair to be hiding. First
1t. Louis Giuffrida of the Mill
tary Police noticed holes in the
grounds at regular intervals
which could have been made by
a cane.
One of the escaped prisoners,
Robert Nelson, %, of Rome. Ga,
a convicted black marketeer
walked with aid of a cane.
He had used it to strike jail
guard over the head in escaping
The other man was Donald j.
Nye, 81. of Syracuse. N. Y. who
is serving a term for the murder
of a German girl.
Following the more or less
evenly spaced holes in the ground,
1t. Giuffrida and his men noticed
the end of a cane protruding
from a clump of bushes. Army
authorities said the lieutenant
fired a warning shot in the air
and then rushed into the brush
with his pistol in his hand. En-
circled by Is military police, both
men surrendered.
Nye was sitting on the .45-cali-
ber automatic he had taken from
a jail guard and which he had
used to shoot his way to freedom,
the Army reported. There were
four cartridges in the gun.
Witnesses in Army Trial.
The former Army prisoners at
Wurzburg. Germany. were brought
to Fort Meade to testify in the
court martial Of 1t. Col. George
E. Pinard. one of four officers
charged with mistreating Ameri-
can soldiers at Wurzburg dis
ciplinary barracks two years ago
Two of the officers already have
been acquitted.
Sergt. Walton Morris of Grozet
Va, who was shot accidentally by
military police several hours after
the jailbreak, when he was mis-
taken for one of the prisoners
has been transferred to Walter
Reed Hospital in Washington fol
plastic surgery. The bullet en-.
tered his jaw and came out o1
his neck. His condition was de.
scribed as serious.

Council Indorses
Two Referenda
|nTakoma Park
Urges Separate Vote
On Annexation and
City Manager Plan

Legislation which would permit
separate referenda on annexation
and a change to city manager
government was indorsed last
night by the Takoma Park City
Council.
Earlier, the municipal govern
ing body urged the Montgomery
County Council to let the city op-
crate its own police department.
The annexation and govern
mental reorganization constitute
"the Greater Takoma Park" pro-
gram to be pressed at the current
session of the Maryland General
Assembly.
Under the annexation proposal,
the area of Takoma Park would be
more than doubled, and popu-
lation would be increased from
13.500 to approximately 21,000.
Most of the annexed territory
would come from corner of
Prince Georges County.
AS now proposed, the Takoma
Park boundaries would run from
Piney Branch road on the west
to Riggs road on the east, and
from the District line northward
to the vicinity of where Piney
Branch road runs into New
Hampshire avenue.
This area includes Sligo Park
Hills, which usually is associated
with theI Silver Spring commu-
nifty. Silver Spring residents have
been considering proposals to in
corporate as city and. If this
movement gains headway. prob
ably would want Sligo Park Hills
included.
The legislative bill would per-
NIT citizens of the counties and
of Takoma Park to vote in the
referendum.
A tie vote of the City Council
last night prevented Endorsement
of a proposal to have Takoma
Parks Mayor chosen by the Coun-
Gil from its own membership,
rather than elected individually
by the voters. Under the present
system, the Mayor has no seat
on the Council and can vote only
in event of a tie.
Mayor John C. Post had a
chance to settle the question last
night but refused to cast a ballot.
The City Council held its regu-
lar meeting after entertaining
members Of = the Montgomery
County Council at dinner. It
asked the county officials to con-
slider returning to the municipal
ity IL of the II cents in taxes

protection. Z.

ton. Ofhcials said II cents Of the
rate iswthessamount used for the

"a separate city police department
would eliminate divided author
ity." r..
At the meeting of the municipal
group the Civic Improvement
Committee was directed to ar
range for the appointment of an
architect to prepare plans for re-
modelling the f1rehouse at Carroll
and Denwood avenues. The cost
of the Improvements is estimated
at about $4,000.

FEWER JOBS:

a heavy majority of the applicants
