S1Oner, hdQ TO wage q SCrOng ngnC
to get approval of a central bridge
He and members of the District
Highway Department argued that
such a span would not bring more
traffic into downtown Washing
ton, but would help only that
which enters the city now.
Possible sites under considera-
ton for the central bridge include
at the end of H street or at the
end of Constitution avenue.
A battle over the location of the
bridges-E street in particular
had been looming. An engineering
report prepared for the National
Capital Planning Commission rec
commended strongly against such
a span. So did a National Capital
Parks engineering report.
May Decide Soon.
The NCPC will meet on Decem-
ber II and IL and is expected to
reach some decision on the loca-
ton of the bridges then. The Re-
gional Council, which met yester-
day, is a new body which includes
representatives of the District.
Maryland and Virginia.
If a united front can be OBJ
tanned, the District Commissioners
feel they will have an easier time
getting Congress to appropriate
the necessary funds.
The Jones Point bridge would
hit Alexandria just north of Hunt
ing Towers. Rejected by the
council was an alternate site for
an Alexandria bridge at Shepherd S
Landing.
The Jones Point Bridge would
cost around $19,898.00O, according
to one engineering survey. The
Regional Council was discussing
this bridge in terms of a Federal
project. It actually would be in
three Jurisdictions as it would be-
gin in Maryland, out through part
of the Potomac River which is in
the District and then into Vir-
ginia.
More Than S22 Million.
A bridge at the E street site
would run about $22,310,000.
A number of observers attend
ed the Regional Council meeting
Among them were Representative
elect Broyhill, Republican, of
Arlington; Representative elect
Small. Republican, of Maryland
and Robert C. Albrook, admins

Ambulance Drivers
Warned to Observe
Traffic SiqnoIs
BY the Assoeioied Press

RICHMOND, Dec. 2.-Drivers of
ambulances and police cars must
observe red lights just as any other
motoPist-or face the conse-
quences-the State Supreme Court
ruled yesterday.
In two cases the court Said:
An ambulance driver could not
recover damages for injuries re-
ceived when his vehicle collided
with taxi after running through
a red traffic signal.
A Richmond police officer was
liable for damages in a bus-police
car collision in which a woman
passenger on the bus was injured.

Born on South Mountain, Wash
ington County, Mr.. Weddle has
lived in Rockville since 1912. Mr..
Weddle's wife is dead. He has nine
children, four of them living at
home.
Rockville's population has in
creased more than 10 fold from
its 1900 of 1925. But Mr.. Weddle
says, the growth has been lop-
sided with too much residential
and not enough commercial.
Rockville and the county gov.
eminent heads often exchange
verbal blasts. Mr.. Weddle attrib-
utes to "the theory of govern
ment under which the county op-
crates"
1.-THE theory has no room for
municipalities" he contends. He
points out that Rockville officials
have been leaders through the
Maryland Municipal League in the
fight for more home rule for cities
and towns.

Dope addicts who turn to crime
return as often as five times to
serve sentences in District penal
institutions, Donald Clemmer, Dis
trict director of corrections, re-
ported today.
1T would save the taxpayers
money to hospitalize dope addictS
once and try to cure them," he
told The Star.
He said he favors compulsory
disqualification of drug addicts to
preserve the dignity of the hu-
man being. to prevent each addict
from making five or 10 others turn
to drugs and to prevent their
frequent return to penal institu-
tions."
He said he knows of hundreds of
prisoners at Lorton who have used
drugs, although they are not all
confirmed addicts.
ShOplifting Most Usual.
Shoplifting, he said, is the most
frequent offense that sends dope
addictS to District correctional in
stitutionals. Prostitution is the
second most frequent. Other ad-
diets are in the correctional in
stitutions for thefts from mail
boxes and other forms of larceny,
forgery and similar fraud. He
estimated about half the dope ped
dlers at Lorton are addicts them
selves.
At the woman's institution, Mr..
Clemmer said, the only treatment
given addicts is a wholesome daily
routine. At the workhouse, the
men are given some counseling.
If the prisoners are sentenced
for more than six months, they
can be sent to the United States
Public Health Service Hospital at
Lexington, KY, which will not &C
cept shorter-term patients. Some
judges. Mr.. Clemmer said, are

Ruling Expected
Way for
Big Apartments
Circuit Court Backs
Yeor-OId Zoning Edict
In Prince Georges

A Circuit Court ruling that may
pave the way for multimillion-
dollar apartment construction In
Prince Georges County today con-
Ifronted officials already harassed
by demands for expanded school,
road and public utility systems
Complaints citing inadequacy of
such facilities, Judge Charles c.
Marbury held yesterday at Upper
Marlboro, are too vague, too
ephemeral for a court to say there
shall no longer be progress in
the county"
His decision upheld a year-old
zoning action of the county COM
missioners. who ironically enough
now frown on new apartments
while public services lag far be-
hind increasing needs.
Informed sources predicted that
some applicants who have been
refused apartment zoning on these
grounds will be sufficiently en-
couraged by yesterdays ruling to
take their cases to court. One
Washington builder whose petition
was denied last month has said
that he definitely will appeal.
Value Plea Rejected.
Judge Marbury also rejected as
insufficient a further contention
that apartments should be barred
because they tend to lower the
value Of nearby homes.
The courts opinion was de-
livered in a case appealed from
the commissioners edict by Cor
don w. Crozier, president of the
Silver Hill Citizens Association.
and his wife, Mozelle P. Crozier
The Croziers said they filed the
action for themselves and 476
members OF the civic group.
Their bill of complaint asked
the court to reverse a decision
of the commissioners reclassify-
ing a 60-acre residential tract
south OF Oxon Run near the Dis
trict line for apartment use. It
also asked that five Washington
and Montgomery County firms be
prohibited from building apart
ments on the property.
Named co-defendants with the
commissioners are Louis Miller,
Inc; Louis Furr, Inc; Morris Mil
Ter. Inc; M. Miller, Inc, and
Gerald Miller. Inc, all of 1911 K
street NV. and 8007 Eastern ave-
nue.. Silver Spring.
Contend Approval Illegal.
Through their attorney, George
T. Burroughs. the Croziers told
the court the commissioners de-
MED the rezoning last Septem-
ber, then approved it two months
later. after failing to advertise
the rehearing properly.
Mr.. Burroughs said TODAY he
may ask the State Court of Ap-
peals for a final ruling.
LIE Roy Pumphrey, counsel for
the companies, said his clients
have spent 5000, 900 clearing away
a wilderness" and have obtained
loans totaling more than So mil
lion. Permits for stores and shop
ping centers have been granted
and land for school will be made
available, he added.
Sees Eventual Facilities.
Lack of public services are in
sufficient reasons for an injunc-
ton. Judge Marbury held, because
that is a condition that always
prevails "in the constant evoIu-
ton that occurs when raw land
Is developed into communities"
under normal procedure" he
declared, "such facilities will even
tually be provided"
Judge Marbury observed that
he was cognizant of the claims
OF unorthodox procedure, but said
Still we are confronted with q
situation where the court must
look to allegations of specific in
Jury"

diets for other crimes so they can
go to Lexington.
But consider a girl who comes
to Lorton on a 60-day sentence for
shoplifting," Mr.. Clemmer sase.
I'VE hospitalize her until she gets
over the acute suffering of with
drawal from drugs. After that,
the only help she gets from us is a
regular life. On good behavior,
she's out in about As days. She
hasn't been cured of the drug
habit. Well probably see her
again on another shoplifting
charge or prostitution"
At present there is no law to
cope with dope addicts until they
commit some crime to get money
for drugs. Police are urging a
law that would enable them to
take addicts into custody. Under
this proposal. if the addiction
were proved in court, the addict
could be sent to a hospital until
ne was cured.
Sees Cures as Possible.
Mr.. Clemmer said he is con-
vinced that cures are possible.
Even long term institutional care,
combined with a steady routine
of work and healthy recreation,
sometimes suffices without actual
disqualification, he said.
He cited the case of an older
woman, now serving her third
term for shoplifting to raise
money for drugs. From every
thing he could learn, he said. her
latest IA months at Lorton ap-
parently had cured her. He said
he had been informed that she
had a chance to take some dope
smuggled into the institution and
had refused.
But most addicts should be
hospitalized," Mr.. Clemmer said.
They need treatment, especially
to change their attitudes"

with the opening of toylands in mid
November When was growing up
Thanksgiving held a place of its
own and Christmas decorations were
not evident until afterwards. How
ever it is wise to think about the
coming Christmas ahead of time,
even laying away gifts early before
the Christmas season arrives.
Every January sale is a good time
to start picking up gifts for the next
year. A gift or two tucked away
now and then helps tremendously
in solving ones shopping for Christ

gifts through the year. have a
special drawer for gift items that
I buy or make during the year for
Christmas giving as well as other
gift occasions.
When December arrives it's real
satisfaction to 'shop" from my
drawer of gifts - especially when
they have already been paid for.
Just try it next year and see what
joy it is.
It's always good idea to take

find it hard to discard the very old
ornaments. I am sentimental and
save them because just can't throw
them away, so year after year they
are carefully placed in box and
put away in safe place. In that
sturdy box one could find those
painted pine cones and gilded hol-
low walnuts that adorned our trees
of long ago. There, too, are those
precious ornaments made by the
children when they were in school
and which they contributed so
proudly to the collection as they
hung them on the tree just before
Christmas.
There have been many Christmas
trees in this house, as in homes
everywhere, perhaps only ordinary
trees with simple trimmings, and
yet each one always seemed more
beautiful than the last. Each tree
while wrapped in the spirit of the
season, differed with the passing o.
the years. Many changes take place
besides our being year older.
Those Christmas trees of long agc
seemed gayer because of the chill

Tasty Spareribs

SPARERIBS ARE ''way up there"
in the list of meat favorites, hold

above ingredients in small bowl.
Place spareribs in large bowl and
over them pour the liquid. Let
stand for l hour, turning ribs oc-

ing some of it over them. Place
ribs in a large shallow roasting
pan, pour liquid over them and

bouillon, dissolve 81 teaspoon meat
