Naples Court of Appeals will be
asked today to decide whether a
total of / billion lire ($15 million)
in damage claims against the
italian state railways should be
paid in the strange case of Death
Train No. 8017."
The claims have been filed by
more than 300 relatives of 435
persons whose death aboard the
47-car freight train in March.
1914, was a wartime secret.
Lower court decisions in 1949
and again in 1850 only partly
recognized" the responsibility Of
the governmental railways,
attorneys said.
The railroad management dis
claimed responsibility for the
deaths of any one on the train
except the crew because the pas
sengers had not purchased tickets.
The appeal is by a group of
claimants whose lawyer has pro-
duced two stubs which he says
show that the passengers did pay.

Capital Transit Asks
To Abandon 7 More
Maryland BusIines

Capital Transit Co. plans fur.
ther curtailment of suburban
Maryland bus service because an.
other company has been giver
permission to expand its routes.
1t filed request with the Inter.
state Commerce Commission ane
the Maryland Public Service Com.
mission last night, asking permis-
sion to abandon portions of the
z-6 and the To lines, in addition
to seven other lines which the
company already has been author
lied to discontinue at midnight.
The portion of Z-6 that Capital
Transit proposes to eliminate is
along Old Bladensburg road, be-
tween Franklin avenue and Piney
Branch road. On the T-2 line
the company seeks to abandon
that portion on Old Bladensburg
road between Franklin avenue and
Piney Branch road, and on Piney
Branch road between Old Bladens-
burg road and Flower avenue.
Service to Start Monday.
This latest move came after two
other bus companies were given
permission by the PSC and ICC
to operate three lines which Cap
ital Transit is abandoning.
Oriole Motor Coach Lines, Inc.
was given permission for Is days
to operate the Y-3 and G-8 routes
and Bison Bus Lines, Inc, waG
given a similar permit to operate
the O-2 line serving Kenwood
Both companies said they would
start service on Monday.
Capital Transit. which received
permission to abandon the seven
lines on grounds that they were
not profitable, protested Oriole' s
proposal to operate the Y-3 route,
Claiming it would duplicate parts
of other lines still in operation.
Merrlll ASKS Hearing
E. D. Merrill, Capital Transit
president, wired the PSC and the
1CC that Orioles application fol
the Y-3 line was "only an excuse
to enter into competition with
Capital Transit Lines"
He said his firm wanted an op-
portunity to be heard in the mat
ter.
E. Cleveland Giddings, vice
president of Capital Transit, said
Orioles Y-3 application duplicates
Capital Transit's Z-6 line from
-Four Corners to Franklin avenue;
the To line from Franklin avenue
to Piney Branch road and Flower
avenue, and the Z-8 line from
Piney Branch road and Flower
avenue to Sligo road.

roads.
Capital Transit raised no OBJ
lection to Orioles assumption of
the G-8 route, which serves
|Greenbelt.

Bethesda Area
Master Street
Plan Adopted
Woodmont District
Changes Adopted
After Hearing

The Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission
has adopted a new master plan
of streets and highways for the
Woodmont Triangle business dis
trict of Bethesda.
Cecil A. Eby, vice chairman and
park commissioner, said the new
plan contains most of the changes
recommended by the commission
and discussed at a public hearing
held last January.
These changes include:
/. The addition of an 80-foot
|right-of-way connecting Norfolk
avenue and Cheltenham drive at
the intersection of Wisconsin ave-
nue., forming a street throught
which traffic may pass from the
triangle to points east of Wis
consin into the East-West highway
east of Bethesda Chevy Chase
High School.
2. The inclusion as a right-of-
way of the small triangular parcel
at the intersection of Arlington
avenue and it's intersection with
Norfolk avenue.
100-fOot Parkway.
3. The extension of Glenbrook
parkway north of Battery lane
| to the National Institutes of
Health property, with a 100-foot
right-of way, thus forming a 100
foot parkway which may at some
future date be extended through
to Wisconsin aveune.
4. The widening of Battery lane
east of Glenbrook parkway to
60 feet.
5. The widening of Cordell or
Melrose avenue between Arlington
and Wisconsin avenue to 10 feet.
Mr.. Eby said the principal
change from the original plan
discussd at the January hearing
is the decision not to abandon
Middleton lane west of Wisconsin
Iavenue. The Commission decided.
however, to reduce the right-of-
way from 80 to so feet and rec
commended that ordinances be
passed by the County Council al
lowing traffic to move one way
only from Wisconsin avenue. The
Commission pointed out that this
would make it possible for traf-
fic coming south on Wisconsin
avenue to turn into the proposed
new shopping areas in the tri-
angle, and then move northward
on Arlington avenue, returning to
Wisconsin at several points above
the congested area.
Another revision from the orig
inal plan is the changing OF the
name Arlington avenue to Wood
mont avenue. This was done to
eliminate confusion because of Ar
lington road in Edgemoor.
Other Changes Made.
These other changes from the
original proposal were made:
l. The abandonment of the
widening of Middleton lane east
of Wisconsin avenue.
2. Similar abandonment of the
widening for Avondale street and
the reduction of the planned
ght-of-way on Chase avenue
from 80 feet to so feet.
8. The extension of st. Elmo
avenue between Woodmont CAR
|lington) and Wisconsin avenues
and abandonment of plans to
widen st. Elmo to 80 feet. A TO
foot right-of way was adopted in
stead.
Mr.. Eby said the development
of the Woodmont Triangle as a
commercial area could now go
forward with some assurance that
there will not be further revisions
of the plan in the near future"
