Treasury Unit to Rule
On Moriiuono Disposal

The Treasury Department will
decide what's to be done with the
mound of msrijuana recovered by
Metropolitan police from the bulg-
ing sides of a late model automo-
bile.
The 1913 pounds of processed
marijuana will go to the Narcotics
Salvage Group of the Treasury
with enough held back for evil
dence in the case against John
Raymond Weatherbee, 20, of New
York. in whose car it was found.
The discovery marked the big
gest haul of marijuana ever made
in the Nation, Treasury agents
said. They estimated it would re-
tail "conservatively" at more than
$250,0o0. but that in some areas
the value might go above 81
million.
They said that with the heat
on" in certain areas, marijuana
cigarettes were more difficult to
obtain, and prices had gone up
from the normal so cents each to
$1.25 each.
Weatherbee, along with Milford
Hayes Woodward, 80, a barber,
and Lena Mary Pauline, 33, both
of the $500 block of Fourteenth
street, were nabbed by police here

Told dHow2Got
Drug in District
Paid SIS for Ounce
Of Morijuono After
Being Checked On
BY tho Associated Press

BALTIMORE, July 3. - Two
men charged with possessing
marijuana testified in police court
today they bought 104 grams of
the drug in Washington.
Willie (Baby) Bell, %, colored,
did most of the talking under per-
sistent questioning by Magistrate
Avrum Rifman. Much of what he
said was in the picturesque lingo
that only drug addictS and ped
dlers understand completely. Bell
testified he arranged the pur-
chase.
He went to Washington by bus
one day last week to cop" some
marijuana. He hung around Ninth
and M streets NV. about sunset.
"A fellow came up, and he could
tell I was a viper, and he came
over to sound me down.
After he had dug me the fall
guy came UP and called a cab. We
took a ride, about IL minutes, to
West Virginia avenue and some
other street."
The magistrate wanted to know
the name of the other street.
Bell said he couldn't remember
but it was an Indian name.
At the intersection, Bell con-
tinued, "Shaky'' went into a cut
rate drugstore to use the telephone
and call his source of supply.
An ounce of marijuana was de-
livered to Bell and he paid SIS
for it. An ounce will make about
200 REFER cigarettes and they
usually sell for about so cents
apiece.
Bell said before he got away
the fall guy" and the cab driver
each put the bite on" him for SIS.
Bell and Irwin Scott, q, also
colored, were arrested Saturday
night in South Baltimore by men,
bers Of the police department mar
cotics squad. Scott was described
. as "two-time loser"-free on
bail on previous dope charge.
Magistrate Rifman held them
in $1,000 bail each for grand jury

Bridge
Suggests 1t Be Built
For Both Railroad
And Highway Use

The Defense Department Num-
lions Board today indorsed con-
struction of a bridge across the
Potomac River between Shepherds s
landing in southeast Washington,
md Alexandria, but suggested
that it be designed for both rail-
road and highway use in case Of
an emergency.
Construction of the $16-million
bridge is proposed in a bill intro
duced by Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia. A span in
the location long has been advo-
Gated by the National Capitol
Park and Planning Commission as
part of a long-range plan to re-
lieve traffic congestion.
The Munitions Boards senti-
Iments were expressed in a letter to
Maj. Gen. Miles Reber. chief of
the legislative and liaison de-
partment of the Army which is
preparing a report on the bridge
for the Budget Bureau.
Wants Bill Amended.
THE staff of the Munitions
Board supports construction of
the proposed bridge" the letter
states, "but believes the bill tot
Representative Smith should be
amended to provide for a dual
purpose bridge which in an emer-
Igency could be converted to carry
rail as well as highway traffic"
The letter points out that dur
ing World War II temporary
railroad bridge was built at the
approximate site of the proposed
new bridge.
At resent. the letter states, the
bulk of north-south rail traffic
uses the bridge parallel to the
highway bridge.
Would Raise Gas Tax.
Should that bridge be dam
aged or destroyed, only alternate
routes for this rail traffic would
be by Harper's Ferry or on ferries
operated by the Pennsylvania
Railroad at Hampton Roads, Va.
the Munitions Board wrote.
To help pay for the project, the
Smith bill would raise the District
gasoline tax from 4 cents to S
cents a gallon on July l. 1852
which is the date the tax is due to
drop to 3 cents.
The Munitions Board. in its
letter, said it concurs with the
District Commissioners suggestion
that the bridge be made Federal
project. A spokesman for the
Commissioners said they had made
a recommendation on the bridge
financing to the Budget Bureau
but did not elaborate.

Cooperation Pays Off in Unsnoning Traffic Jams

The handling of the biggest in
f1ux of automobiles. in the Capitals
history is a story of precision and
cooperation.
Fast action, teamwork and
patience-those three combined
during the transit strike to pre-
vent a hopeless snarl of traffic on
Washington streets as more than
100000 cars jammed into the
downtown area.
The policeman in uniform,
standing at the street corner di-
recting motorists, got the biggest
share of praise from his superiors.
Inspectors, captains and other Of
f1cers have done traffic duty they
hadn't experienced in years.
Last Friday, with the transit
strike imminent, Traffic Director
George Keneipp sat down at his
desk with a copy of the Districts IS
motoring regulations.
Rapid Changes in Rules.
He used a heavy black pencil
and made some rapid changes in
parking rules, so the District would
have room for it's new tenants on
wheels. The changes were pre-
sented to the Commissioners and
approved the same day.
The following day, Saturday, the
job of informing the public
through the press, radio and tele-
vision-began.
Police Supt. Robert j. Barrett
also began to prepare. .
He Cancelled all leaves and days
off for his men. The men were Or
dered to report early. Plans were
made to hold over the midnight
shift. Police normally assigned to
outlying precincts were reassigned
to traffic downtown.
The strike began at midnight
Saturday, but little difficulty was
Experienced Sunday.
BY yesterday police were primeo
for the rush.
Detectives abandoned their
plain Clothes for uniforms. The
!, midnight shift was still on the
street. Inspectors and captains
were on duty. prepared to direct
traffic.
Some Snags Develop.
Maj. Barrett was out early-at
6:45 am.-touring the downtown
to see if any improvements could
be made after the heavy flow
began.
When the cars started coming
