The recent letter on Arlington roads
by Max Wehrly. chairman of the County
Planning Commission. was both inter-
esting and informative but on several
points it seems to me that his state
mentS were either misleading or wrong.
Most interesting was his extraordi-
nary statement that Along with Ar
lington Mill drive, it George Mason
drive) will provide the people of South
west Arlington with access to the CEN
ter and northern part of the county
without having to go through Fairfax
County or the Federal network by the
Pentagon and the Navy Annex. as they
must at present"
At present people Of Southwest Ar
lington do no such thing Look at your
map. Mr.. Wehrly. People of South
west Arlington who want to go north
don't go all the way to the Navy Annex;
they take Glebe road.
True, we have long needed a better
north-south cross-county thoroughfare.
But We are getting 1t with the widen
ing OF Glebe road. Glebe road aims a
little too far northwest for real con-
venience; but the two proposed new
north-South routes aim even q little
farther northwest
The statement that "of all the major
county thoroughfares, George Mason
drive will serve the most vital pur-
poses" is therefore rather absurd. The
statement must be based on his as
sumption that Glebe road does not exist.
George Mason. for 80 per cent of its
length, will run nearly parallel and
within half mile west Of Glebe road.

The Secretary Of the Treasury said
October 10 before the Senate committee
investigating the Bureau of Internal
Revenue that he wanted ito get on the
record what had been done in the past
four or five years about reorganizing the
bureau"
Did the Secretary confess it was in
such condition before Truman that it
needed reorganizing after Roosevelt? If
SO. is this an admission that even after
four and half or five years, the Augean
stables are still befouled. and, as the
evidence shows, need thorough clean

When the subject of underpaiu
teachers is mentioned, the aver
age person will blame the state
government. We are inclined to
assume that our counties haVe
very little responsibility in this
field. What are the facts? In the
first place, the states ranking in
the upper brackets as TO schools
have the greatest measure OF sup
port for education from the local
governments The schools OF
Montana, ranking first in the ma
ton, receive IS per cent of their
support from the counties and
cities. The same is true of the
high ranking states of California,
Connecticut and New York.
): y i;
In the second place, the simple
fact is that the counties of Virgin
ia are not doing nearly as much
for the schools as they reasonably
could. We would not for one in
slant call for heavier taxes. But
there is a great deal of property
that is escaping from taxation. A
reassessment of real estate, and
the improvements on it, in Dick
enson County would reveal some
glazing inequalities and would
really help the honest taxpayer.
1t would shift a part of the bur-
den where it belongs. on those
who are ablest to pay. 1t isn't the
average man with only small
amount of property who evades
taxes.
=
The other feature of the prob
lem on which we wish to com :
ment is entirely different in ma
ture and goes directly back to
the tone of last weeks editorial.
A student graduates from high
school He, or she, gets a job and
within a year is earning more

GIG Raccoons Released
In Game Restocking
Program

Excellent strides have beer
made in the raccoon restocking
program in the past fiscal year
A total of 676 animals were re-
leased in II counties where rae
coonS were too scarce to afford
sport for the large number Of
coon hunters.
Brood stocks have been made
quate in many of the counties
especially in the mountainous sec
tons of Southwest Virginia Al
the same time, raccoons have been
too numerous in some of the Tide
water regions. Consequently there
has been a systematic program
of trapping coons in areas where
they are not wanted and transfer
ring them to other areas where
they are in demand.
A great many animals were live

HITLER AID
PREDICTS NEW
WAR THIS FALL

Submitted by Emil Vanover)
Hitler's astrologer and chief
adviser, in the days when Der
Fuehrer was riding rampant over
the world, has been unearthed in
Munich where he has been in hid
ing. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr.,
who is travelling with camera in
hand to snap motion pictures,
took photographs of the astrolo-
ger and obtained the following
predictions:
Stain is preparing to launch a
double East Germany attack in
the fall; there will be a world
depression before the start of a
third World War; man high in
the political world will be assas-
mated.
A COP victory in 1852, with the
election of president from the
Middle West, is another of the
predictions. Hitler's prophet fur
ther states, "the Democratic de-
feat will be due to high prices
and high taxes" He advises watch
ing the Dardanelles and Persia,
and says that Alaska will bring
about the next Soviet mischief.

also do considerable damage to

Remedy Sought For
Traffic Accidents

AS a result of the increasing
highway death rate and the re-
cent conference of trial justices
at the University of Virginia, the
Richmond NeWs-Leader sent a
QUESTIONABLE to all officials who
deal with traffic accidents at the
first level. Following are the
questions and the answers given
by E. ]. Sutherland, trial justice
of Dickinson County:
l. What changes, if any, do you
propose to institute in your court
as a resul of the conference?
I plan to have a close investi-
cation of each defendants traf-
fic record and shall require non
resident defendants to give bond
instead of merely being noticed
to trial
2. Do you feel that the confer
ence will materially aid in the
reduction of highway accidents,
and do you believe that such con
ferences should be held each
year?
Yes, to both questions.
8. What in your opinion are
the major causes of accidents?
Speeding, drunk driving and
careless lookout by drivers.
4 What do you believe h e
trial justices can do to cut the
accident rate?
Enforce the present laws firm
ly but within reason so as not to
antagonize the public. The courts
can increase respect for the laws
by informal and judicious re-,
marks during trials.
5. Do you have any suggestions
for the public that you believe
will help to reduce highway acct
dents?
The public should learn that
the increase in the number of mo
tor vehicles and the increase in
drivers makes for traffic hazards.
Parents and teachers educate the
youth to the problem
s. Is there any phase of the
highway accident problem that
you would like to comment on?
Trial justices alone are not re-
sponsible for coping with the traf
fic problem. Enforcement officers,
the commemorative attorney,
witnesses and jurors have their
part. There should be more high
way patrolmen. Newspapers
could aid in the educational CAM
paign by full and fair reports Of
accidents and trials Teachers
