OF Board Calls for
Training Policemen

A comprehensive plan to in
crease traffic safety and law en-
Iforcement here was approved last
might by the Commissioners Traf-
flc Advisory Board.
It urged, among other things
establishment of traffic training
institute for police.
The plan was outlined by Nathan
M. Lubar. attorney and chairman
of the Laws and Regulations Com
mittee of the board. at meeting
last night in the Municipal Cen
ter. He spoke for the absent
Washington I. Cleveland. chair
man of the Traffic Enforcement
Committee, which compiled the
report.
The report started by saying
Washington has dropped from &c
per cent fulfillment of the stan
dards of the National Safety Coun.
Gil to 10 per cent, and from first
to second place, all within year
The board agreed that a seriou:
deficiency exists in the Metropoli-
tan Police Department, inasmucf
as only 3 per cent of the command
personnel have been qualified b,
traffic training.
The report also suggested thai
all uniformed traffic officers re.
ceive at least IL hours training {
year.
Proper training" the repor'
added, would tend to convey tx
traffic officers a better under
standing of traffic regulations
resulting in adequate and prope
charges against the public ant
much better understanding ant
good will. -
The report also pointed on
that the chief traffic officer, al
though carrying full divisional
status, has lower rank and pa.
than some other division chiefs
The committee recommended tina
the Commissioners bring Inspector
John j. Agnew, in charge of traf
fic, up in pay equal to other divi
sion chiefs, and also name him (
deputy police chief.
The report, among other mat
tiers, called attention to the fac
that there is only one full-timt
person handling traffic arrest rec
ords and that at least 10 add
tional clerks are required. 1t wa

Brown School
Won't Be Sold, :
City Heads Say
Chevy Chase Citizens
Get Pledge Against
Rezoning Of Property
By John w. Stepp

The District Commissioners to-
day unanimously resolved that the
present Board of Commissioners,
at least, will never act to sell or
rezone the E. v. Brown School
property.
They announced their decision
after a delegation of Chevy Chase
civic leaders and District officials
gave detailed reports on why the
city should not dispose of the
property in the $500 block of Con-
tnecticut avenue NV.
Citizens in the area long have
feared that commercial interests
might some day succeed in getting
the District to sell the land to pri-
|vate ownership and abandon its
Ipresent use as a library and rec
reation center.
Dedicated Four Years Ago.
It was only four years ago that
the community succeeded in get
ting the block-long property, for
imerly a school and playground,
dedicated as a library branch and
recreation center.
About a year ago Representative
Bates. Democrat, of Kentucky, re-
vealed that many persons" had
told him that the site could be
sold for 81 million and that If 1t
were rezoned and developed COM
Imercially it would produce up to
100000 yearly in real estate
taxes.
James E. Schwab, real estate
man, District coming official and
chairman of a special joint COM
mittee Of the Chevy Chase Citi-
|zens' Association and the Chevy
Chase Community Center Coun-
Gil, declared, however, that the
figures mentioned by Mr.. Bates
are "far from reality"
Mr.. Schwab said that the total
assessment for the land would be
no more than about $446 900. The
tax yield. moreover. would be less
than $4,000 annually.
Parking Problem Cited.
The committee chairman also
pointed out that commercial de-
Ivelopment of the property would
greatly complicate already serious
parking problems in the Chevy
Chase shopping district, now con-
fined to the opposite side of the
avenue.
/ Harry N. Peterson, Distric,
librarian. pointed out that book
circulation has increased heavily
since the old school building was
converted into library branch
Recreation Superintendent Mil;
S. Christensen said that recrea.
ton participation at the center
also have been increased each
year.
/ Mr.. Schwab declared that ir
the long run the District would
lose money by selling the property
since new sites would have to be
bought and developed for library
and recreation purposes.

ment Board today to prevent the

Culver B. Chamberlain, lawyer

board, led the association fight.
He said the home for unwed
mothers "has been a thorn in the
flesh of the neighborhood fol
many years." If the coming Off

would retard Burleith's growth.

Mr.. Chamberlain admitted that
the home, on Reservoir road be-
tween Thirty-sixth and Thirty
seventh streets NV. was there
before Burleith was built.
Marvin w. Field, past president
of the Burleith group. said the in
stitution shouldn't be allowed to
grow.
One of the things Mr.. Chamber
lain complained about was the in
stitution's laundry. He said its
chimney smoke and SCOT was a
nuisance.

One Man Is Charged
With Early Morning
Lunchroom Stickup

Thirty police, hindered by one
watchdog, caught two holdup
early today. One man
admitted the stickup, but the other
denied it and the first one backed
up his story.
Two colored men, one masked
and carrying a pistol, held up
two employees and four customers
in the De Luxe Lunchroom, 800
K street NV. shortly before I
am, and got about 500 from
the till.
Shortly after. first precinct

Vernon place NV.
Just then their scout car radio
squawked a lookout for the lunch
room bandits. The two cruiser
men called for help.
Suspects Separate.
Meanwhile, the suspects had
separated. One climbed a fire
escape in the 800 block of Mount
Vernon place. The other hid
under the front stoop of a house
in the 1000 block of Eighth street
NV.
Scout cars, two precinct patrol
wagons, headquarters cars and
motorcycle officers arrived and
surrounded both places.
Pvt. Mattingly went after the
man under the stoop. A woman
in the house set her dog on him
and Pvt. Mattingly retreated. De-
tectives finally convinced the
woman they were police, she
called off the dog. and the police
collared their man.
Other in Rooming House.
Robbery squad detectives caught
the other man on the fourth floor
of rooming house on Mount

that he didn't know anything

berry counts. waived preliminary
hearing and was held for the
