A Nation with SO million mer
and women of voting age is trying
to snap out of a feeling that ever
SO million voters November
would set a remarkable record.
The so million figure-while II
would be the largest number ever
to cast ballots for Presidents
only a starting point for the big
gest get-out-the-vote drive in this
country's history.
The real start has yet to be
made. especially in Maryland ano
Virginia and their communities
near the District.
Those States have a combined
potential vote Of almost 4 mil
lion. In the 1948 election and al
others since then, only a little
mroe than a million went to the
polls at any one time.
Gains Encouraging,
Officials in nearby counties re-
port encouraging gains over cor
responding registration periods in
1948 and 1850. They note an un-
usually good trend for August
They are arranging broader sched-
ules of night registration periods
and rowing registration visits dur
ing September and until the Oc-
tober 4 deadline.
County political leaders as well
as national headquarters of the
two major parties say they will
step up the campaign to make
potential voters aware of registra-
tion requirements and their re-
sponsibility to vote.
Such efforts will benefit from a
Nationwide program in which
some so non-partisan groups
joined to aim for a vote Of 63
million in the coming presidential
election.
Although registration periods
have ended in some States and the
poll tax payment deadline expired
last May in Virginia, the first
phase of the campaign will center
on telling how, when and where
to register.
Appeal to Citizens.
The overall and continuing aim
will be to remind citizens of their
responsibility as Americans and
in behalf of better Government.
Many kinds of organizations and
"a great variety of publicity media
will be used to help potential
voters.
This national non-partisan
register and vote drive is spon-
sored by the American Heritage
Foundation and the Advertising
Council. With the aid of the 50
other groups, they will keep at it
until every potential voter in the
United States is told-again and
his individual vote is
and that he has him.
self to blame if indifference and
inactivity weakens democratic
government.
The District, deprived Of the
voting privilege. need not be idle
or aloof. Absentee voting Offices
provided by both parties and edu-
cational services performed by
such organizations as the League
OF Women Voters viii see that
District residents who maintain
voting rights elsewhere take ad-
vantage Of that opportunity.

Police stopped and questioned
hitchhikers all through Pennsyl-

The manhunt started when q

three hitchhiking youths but re-
leased them after questioning by

A Cumberland policeman re-
ported late yesterday that he had
given a ride to Baltimore to a
red-haired youth wearing a
Soiled T-shirt on Monday.
Patrolman j. Henry Stitcher
was in plainclothes and on his
way to Baltimore on his day off
He said he had not heard about
the Wright case when he gave
the youth a ride and did not hear
of it until his return to Cumber-
land.
The patrolman said the youth
told him he had been with a
sailor but that they had separated
so they could get rides more
easily.
Patrolman Stitcher said that
when he accidentally revealed his
police badge, the youth appeared
greatly upset. He lapsed into
silence and smoked nearly a pack
of cigarettes before getting out
where U. S. 40 intersects U. S. I
in Baltimore.
Girl Learns of Death.
At the time of the fatal attack,
Sergt. Wright was returning from
Youngstown, Ohio, where he had
visited Miss Barbara Lutes. She
later left for a vacation in At

the news of the sergeant's death
until she talked with her parents
by telephone last night.

daughter telephoned to report a

said the girl was grief stricken
by the news and had exclaimed: !:

Don n'tPay Way,
Transit Co. Says
Losses Amount to
$480, AT q Year,
Commission Is Told

The Maryland Public Service
Commission today was informed
that the Capital Transit Co.'s OPP
Grating loss in Maryland is $780,
427 a year.
This statement was made by
Robert E. Harvey, the company's
vice president and controller.
The commission left its Balti-
more headquarters to hold today's
hearings in, the Silver Spring Ar
mory to accommodate citizens
groups protesting a proposed fare
increase.
The company wants to charge
3 cents additional for it's first
zone fare-an increase to a dime
from the existing 7 cents per
zone. This would apply to the
first zone passenger rides in.
regardless of where it is located.
Maryland zones are each about
11a miles long.
Loss Is Claimed.
Mr.. Harvey testified that for
the IL months ended June 80.
Maryland intra-state passenger
transportation service resulted in
the operating loss of $480,427.
He explained the total operat-
ing revenue within Maryland for
that period was $1,232,512. But
total operating expenses, taxes
and depreciation reached ST.
1889.
Mr.. Harvey told the commission
that passenger revenues alone to-
tailed $1,213,369.
Higher operating costs, aided by
wage boosts for the company's
employees, added to expenses, Mr..
Harvey pointed out.
Despite the discontinuance Of
some services in Maryland. the
company's operations within that
State have not produced sufficient
revenues to meet operating ex-
penseS, taxes and depreciation. Mr..
Harvey testified.
4 Appeals to Commission.
He told the commission:
Even the new zone fare I.
will not produce revenues suffi-
cient to cover the cost of rendering
the company's Maryland intra-
State service. The company will.
therefore, continue to suffer an
operating loss on it's Maryland
intra-State operations :"

ing the Montgomery and Prince

Six More Stricken
With Polio in Area;
Years Total Is 1873

Polio has struck six more per-
sons in the Washington area, in
creasing the years total to 1893
At this time last year 80 cases
had been reported.
A 21a-year-old boy of the 5000

father works in the Pentagon; a
4-year-old girl Of Fort drive in
Fairfax County, and 32-year-
old man of the 100 block of
Commonwealth avenue. Alexan-
dria. The boy and the man are
in Fort Belvoir Hospital, the girl
in Children's.
Hope Expressed.
The new Virginia cases came as
State health officials in Richmond
expressed hope that polio is on the
downgrade in that State. Fifty
three cases throughout the State
were reported last week. they said,
considerably below the 81 reported
the week before. Normal expect
ancy for last week, they said, was
19 cases.
For Arlington, Alexandria and
Fairfax, this years total is 8S
cases, compared with 10 last year.

In Montgomery County a g.
year-old boy from the 10000 block
of Old Bladensburg road, Silver
Spring and a 35-year-old man

Case Of Runaway Car
Puzzles Everybody,
So Police Drop Out

The question of who killed
Cock Robin is a bush league puz-
zler compared with the case of
the runaway freight car in Arling-
ton.
The car, loaded with so tons of
crushed stone, dashed three miles
Tuesday over Washington & Old
Dominion Railroad tracks. It dam
aged three autos and two trucks
en- route, then overturned in
Rosslyn, crushing an unoccupied
sedan.
The companies involved, each OF
them, say they're not to blame.
Leaving 1t to Courts.
Arlington police have decided
to stop trying to learn who is
responsible. They're going to let
the various parties battle it out
among themselves. Police ex-
|plained that the vehicles hit by
the runaway were on private
property.
Neil s.. Lantzy, general man
lager of the railroad, said the
roads responsibility ended when
"the car was properly placed and
the brakes set."
A spokesman for the Rhoad
Paving Co., whose employees were
unloading the car when it broke
away, said it certainly wasn't that
company's fault. If derailers had
|functioned. he said, the car would
have been halted with little or
no damage.
Railroad officials said they had
sworn statements from two of
their employees that derailers had
been placed at the exit to the
siding after the car was parked.
|Derailers are devices designed to
prevent runaways from reaching
the main line by tripping them
of the tracks.
Railroad employees said the de-
railer switch must have been
thrown off after the car was
parked at the siding. Today, the
switch Is chained and padlocked.
and the siding from which the car
escaped has been temporarily
closed.
Using Firms Siding.
Owners Of the siding, M. Pom
ponio & Sons, Inc, said the paw
ing firm was using the siding, and
they don't see any basis for blam-
ing M. Pomponio & Sons.
The railroad said the freight
car was not its property, but be-
longed to Lehigh Valley Railroad.
Insurance men are trying to un-
tangle the puzzle. Clifford Perrin,
manager Of the N. w. Martin &
Bros. roofing firm, was conferring
with insurance investigators. The
freight car hit his auto, those of
two other Martin employees and
two company trucks.
