Basin Officials
Concerned at
Survey Delay
Sewage Abatement
Facilities Declared
Needed at Once

Two officials of the Interstate
Commission on the Potomac River
Basin have expressed concern"
over the amount of time that
would be required for a sewage
disposal survey of nearby Virginia
Such survey which would re-
.quire about six months was
recommended Thursday by an
Interim Committee composed of
Alexandria. Arlington, Fairfax and
Falls Church representatives.
In a letter to the governing
bodies of these four jurisdictions,
Harold A. Kemp, chairman of the
Interstate Commission, said that
he and Edwin R. Cotton, the COM
missions director, had given the
Interim Committees recommen-
dations carefully study.
Calls Delays DiscOuraging
ut appears that the results of
the survey will not be available
for many, many months" wrote
Mr.. Kemp. These continued de-
lays are discouraging when it is
recalled that the Virginia COM
munitieS were first approached in
October of 1947 regarding such a
survey"
THE Interstate Commission on
the Potomac River Basin has for
some time held the opinion that
an engineering survey of sewage
treatment abatement facilities for
the Virginia communities in the
Washington Metropolitan area
would be desirable" continued Mr..
Kemp's letter. However, because
of the critical condition of the
river, the Commission feels that
unnecessary delays in the con-
struction of abatement facilities
should be avoided. 1t is, there
fore, urged that immediate steps
be taken to construct tangible IA
cilities at the earliest possible
time"
Arlington Decision Slated
Arlington County officials al
ready have indicated they are I'M
willing to participate in the sur
vey because of the time involved.
A final decision is expected at the
Arlington County Board meeting
on Saturday. Governments of
Alexandria, Fairfax and Falls
Church have not yet considered
the proposed survey. 1t would cost
a total of $4,000.
Object of the survey would be
to determine the most economical
and efficient method for the four
communities to dispose of their
sewage. At present, the commu-
mites have plans for separate dis
posal facilities.

Keneipp toAsk
Late Rush-Hour
Parking on FIJI
Proposal Would Let
Downtown Shoppers
Use 10 Spaces

End of the afternoon ruSh-hour
parking ban on downtown F and
H streets will be recommended to
the Commissioners this week by
Traffic Director George r. Ke-
neipp.
Mr.. Keneipp announced his pro-
posal last night at a meeting Of
the Traffic Advisory Board.
He said traffic studies show ITO
parking spaces can be provided for
late shoppers on the two streets
without hindering traffic.
The present ban would be re-
Taxed from Seventh to Fifteenth
streets NV. on F. street and from
Fifth to Thirteenth on H street.
At present no parking or standing
is permitted after pm. The park
ing area affected has meters.
Proposed as Experiment.
The move is being proposed as
an experiment, the traffic director
said.
1T will be a good break for a
lot of people who want to come
down and shop" he declared.
Mr.. Keneipp said G street also
has been studied but that there
is some doubt whether it is wide
enough to keep traffic moving
smoothly.
The Advisory Board voted to
urge drastic tightening of the reg
ulations on directional signals on
vehicles. In two recommended
tons to the commissioners, it pro-
posed:
l. That all vehicles on which
hand signals are not visible be re-
quired to have mechanicals or
electrical signals installed by jan
uary /, 1858.
2. That all such vehicles manu-
featured after June 30 of next year
be required to have approved sig
nal devices in order to qualify for
registration.
Inspection Enforcement Asked.
The board asked that inspection
stations be ordered to enforce the
requirements. At present only po-
lice are charged with responsibility
in this field.
Mr.. Keneipp voiced an objec-
ton to the first of the two signal
proposals, contending it would
work a hardship on owners forced
to equip old vehicles. He also
warned that inspections would be
delayed materially" if stations
were given the enforcement task.
The District already is looking
forward to the need for a new in
Spection station to supplement
the existing two, he said,
The signal question is due to be
considered at a public hearing
before the Commissioners on
April 9.
The advisory board also voted to
ask for restoration to the 1852
budget of a $4,000 appropriation
to add 10 driving instructors to
the public schools. The item was
deleted by the Commissioners.

Police said the driver aroused
William Worrell, the bridge tend
er, of lib Sixth street S.W. They
threw a life preserver to the man.
A bystander, William Campitt of
1920 Twelfth street NE, and The
two other men pulled Mr.. Oliff
from the water by a rope attached
to the tube.
His grandmother, Mrs. C. 3.
diff of $50 T street NE, with
whom Mr.. Diff had been living
said he was a strong swimmer
She could give no account of his
actions and added he had seemed
perfectly normal earlier in the
evening.
Juvenile Court Judge Edith H.
Cockrill said she performed Mr..
Cliffs marriage in her chambers
last Friday, but refused to divulge
the brides name.
A marriage license application
filed on February 7 listed the
name of William Hampton Oliff,
%, of 329 w street NE, and Mar
ion Lorraine Wells, 20, of 1880
Fuller street NV.

Income Tax Lien Of $1,175
MISUNDERSTANDING

ing in the Potomac off Hams Point
last May 5. Police, who have iden-
titled the 38-year-old Shulman as
a "reputed big shot gambler" who
sometimes operated floating dice
games, found Shulman's automo-
bile near Hams Point.
About seven months before his
death Shulman repeatedly lost
$4,000 in a stickup of a floating
dice game.
Whether Shulman has any
property the Government can seize
to make good the delinquent taxes
remains an open question. Friends
of the dead man have reported
that he appeared to be going
broke" shortly before the time OF
his death.

Lowell Children Left
Where They Are in
Ruling on Custody

Judge Charles F. Mclaughlin
today directed that the three chill
dren of the Rev. and Mrs. C. STAN
ley Lowell remain basically under
their present custody setup pend
ing final disposition of the par
ents' divorce case.
At the same time, the District
Court jurist ordered DR.. Lowell
pastor of Wesley Methodist
Church, Chevy Chase, to pay Mrs
Lowell $50 weekly temporary ali
mony.
Limited Divorce Sought.
Mrs. Lowell, 80, is seeking a
limited divorce charging physical
and mental cruelty.
In his ruling, Judge Mclaughlin
listed these provisions:
The two older Lowell children
Marilyn, 9. and Dean, 8, remain
under their mothers custody
while Sylvia, 2, stays with the
father. Prime condition of this
arrangement is that starting next
Saturday all three children re-
main overnight at DR.. Lowell S
home until noon Sunday, where
upon the two older children re-
turn to the mothers home.
The following Saturday the
youngest child is to be in the
mothers custody until noon the
next day, when she is to be re-
turned to her fathers keeping
This alternating custody scheme is
to continue until the children's
summer vacation.
Summer AlimOny Is Less.
In the summertime, for the first
half of the vacation, Mrs. Lowell
is to have continuous custody OF
all three children, while during
the latter half DR.. Lowell is tt
have custody of the three. During
the summer period when he has
custody, DR.. Lowell need pay only
$25 weekly alimony to his wife.
Judge Mclaughlin said he real
lied the undesirability of shifting
the children back and forth, but
he added, the court must see that
nothing be done that would cs-
TRANCE the children from either
parent unnecessarily.

Hearing Slated
Tomorrow on
Cut in Bus|ines
MoyIonders to Fight
Capital Transit Plan iir
Silver Spring Session

Maryland bus riders faced with
prospects of losing their rides after
March 81 will converge on the Sill
yer Spring Armory at 10 am. to-
morrow to protest Capital Transit
plans to drop eight lines.
The occasion is a public hearing
called by the Maryland Public
Service Commission which is
breaking precedent to conduct the
sessions away from its Baltimore
headquarters.
Capital Transit has notified the
PSC it will not ask for annual
permit renewals on the eight
feeder lines in Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties. The action
threatens to isolate several COM
munities without any public trans
iportation.
Riders Dispute Stand.
! The transit company contends
the PSC is without authority to
force continuation of the service,
but the riders and the PSC itself
think differently.
A big turnout from citizens as
sociations, county and city gov
Iernments and other groups is
Expected to attend the hearing,
the first part of which will be
devoted to Capital Transit's side
Iof the controversy.
| Ever since the announcement of
the proposed plan, communities
along the bus routes have been
organizing for action, and a long
string of witnesses is expected to
testify.
Greenbelt to Be Represented.
I One of them will be w. Paul
Coppinger, vice chairman of the
IInterfederation Councils Public
Utilities Committee, who was
asked to represent that District
Maryland-Virgini group.
/ Greenbelt, the Government
sponsored village which would be
cut off from transportation, is
sending City Manager Charles T.
Mcdonald and Councilman Frank
Lastner. At a meeting last night,
Mr.. Lastner blamed Capital Tran
sits present lack of riders on poor
service and high costs"
The WeStmoreland Hills Citi-
zens' Association last night voted
to write the Public Service Com
mission and the transit comp my
protesting the proposed elimina-
ton of the bus lines. They par
ticularly urged continuation of a
shuttle line out Massachusetts
avenue extended.
HyattSviIle Council Acts.
The Hyattsville City Council
went on record against the transit
Icompany's proposal last night and
appointed Councilman Jesse S
Baggett to attend the hearing with
other citizens. The Takoma Park
| City Council took similar action.
AS the fight warmed up, the
Hyattsville group planned to ask
Gov. McKeldin to name some one
from that area to membership on
the Public Service Commission, SC
that the problems would be under
jStood.
In another move, Senator But
Ter. Republican, of Maryland in
troduced a resolution asking for a
Senate investigation of the transit
companys decision to drop the
lines.
The Interstate Commerce Com
mittee was asked to determine
whether it has Jurisdiction in the
case.
