 All four are awaiting trial. i When captured the men were visibly tired and had been without food for approXi- mately AS hours. They had hiked over 30 miles in their effort to escape.
 1 Additional charges against l the four men is expected to be filed soon. Dizney was await ing instructions from the U. IS. Attorneys office before signing a complaint.
 i Solberg had the stitches re- i moved from his head and face Tuesday at Griffin Memorial Hospital, where he is con- fined after being severely beaten by the four men. He is reported in favorable condi- tion.
 1 The men escaped from the jail around 1:30 am on Thurs day. They stole a car and drove to Fort Abercrombie, hid the car and hiked along the beace to a point across from Ouzinkie.
 Marshal Dizney and Chief of Police Ovid Mckinley fol- lowed four sets of tracks along the beach from Milier's Point to the Monahaska River in the afternoon of July 3.
 They did not see the men so returned to town and hired a plane to fly them to Ouzinkie. They chartered a boat and during the evening of July 3, patrolled the beaches from the point to Ouzinkie. The four escapees were not seen.
 Around 11:30 am July 4, a report reached Dizney that four men had been spotted near the beach on Kodiak Is- land across from Ouzinkie. i lDizney engaged Vince Daly, local airline operator, to fly to where the men were seen. Dizney, Mckinley, Herman Gillian Lloyd Mckinley and Arthur Wirth made the trip. As they neared the spot where the four fugitives were re- ported, Ovid Mckinley saw a camp fire with two men lying around it. AS the plane passed overhead one ran into the brush.
 l Daly landed the plane seve. ral hundred yards down the beach from the fire. Dizney stationed Herman Gillian and Lloyd Mckinley on the beach. IOvid Mckinley and Dizney taxied in the plane near the camp fire. They landed and lwent inland. Two men were seen lying on hill watching Gillian and Lloyd Mckinley. 1 The two men on the hill |were Shuravloff and Nova.

/ ing public and at a price people
can afford to pay.
How to do it?
Some insurance men say COM
pulsory insurance would help-a
state law making liability insur-
ance requirement for obtaining
auto tags and drivers licenses.
A law making the junking of
cars over a certain specified age
mandatory is another suggested
answer.
A law requiring all cars to be
equipped with speed governors to
make highway speeds in excess of
as or so miles an hour impossible
lis another suggested solution.
The insurance department is not
enthusiastic about compulsory in
surance, holding it would deprive
many low income bracket people
whose driving habits are safe and
sound of the use of automobiles.
Neither is the department warm to
suggestions of restrictive legisla-
ton.
"The best possible solution would
be that which could come from
the motoring public itself. If every
person who drives a car would
exercise reasonable care and good
judgment when at the wheel the
liability insurance problem soon
would take care of ITSELF" Larson
said.

County Would Charge Pepco
100000 Year for Franchise

The Potomac Electric Power Co.
would pay a half million dollars
to operate in Montgomery for the
next five years under provisions of
a proposed county ordinance.
The ordinance drawn up by
County Attorney David MacDon-
aid at request of the County Coun-
ell would grant Pepco a five-year
franchise on payment of a yearly
fee of 100000.
The council during its May
Legislative session tabled a bill
that would grant Pepco a new 25-
year franchise on payment of 3
Iper cent of its gross income an
lnually.
The proposed ordinance yester-
day was the councils answer to
a request from Pepco for a specific
franchise fee figure.
Expires August 9.
Pepco had asked for renewal of
it's present 25-year franchise. It
pays only nominal sum under
its franchise which expires August
10. The new franchise would go
into effect on that date. If Pepco
fails to file an acceptance within
30 days after that date. the ordi-
nance will be void.
Pepco recently told the council
that any sizable fee would be
passed directly on to its $4,000
Montgomery County customers.
Cornelius Means. Pepco gen.
eral counsel, also had called a
franchise fee an indirect tax be-
ing placed on the consumer. The
proposed fee amounts to about
p per cent of the utility's gross
receipts realized in Montgomery
County.
The council yesterday also held
la public hearing on a proposed
repeal of section of the county
fire code.
The hearing drew a large dele
cation of mayors and officials of
incorporated towns in the area,
headed by Irving L. McCathran,
mayor Of Washington Grove.
Town Request Involved.
The section up for repeal pro-
hibits enforcement of the fire code
in any town or special taxing area
which does not request it.
The repeal was aimed at bring
ing the ordinance in line with the
State law which provides for ap-
lplicability Of the county code to
towns and special taxing areas
which do not have a code Of their
own.
Mr.. McCathran told the coun-
Gil the towns feared the county
might be encroaching on their
authority.

ton between town and county
authority rigidly observed" Mr.
McCathran said. He added there

ments. which are the "grassroots

Fairfax 10 Get
$4,000 U. 5.
Aid for Schools
Funds to Be Granted
For Construction of
AnnondoIe High

Fairfax County is due to get an
$840, 900 Federal grant for new
school construction. the county
school board learned last night.
j. H. Rice, assistant Superin-
tendent of schools, said he was
called just before last nights
meeting by Representative Smith.
Democrat. of Virginia. He said
Mr.. Smith has been notified by
the United States Office of Edu-
cation that the money is to be
used for the construction of An
nandale High School, still in the
planning stage.
The grant is the first the county
has received under Public Law BIS,
which provides construction aid
for areas with large numbers of
Federal employees. Application
was made last October for about
10 projects costing 81 million. The
board gave Annandale top priority
lat that time.
MOTc StceL AIIOWcU.
Mr.. Rice said the money will
free for other use funds sets aside
two years ago in the county's sos
million bond issue. He said the
$840, 900 would have paid in full
for the high school as planned at
that time. Subsequently, steel has
been made available for an audi
torium, however. which will run
the cost above the amount of the
Federal grant.
Although the money now has
been reserved for the project, it
will not be released until the site
and final plans are approved by
the Office of Education. Mr.. Rice
said plans will be finished in about
60 days.
Looking ahead to the need for q
new bond issue this year or next.
the board scheduled a meeting for
August with the School Bond Is
sue Cooperating Committee. The
committee is citizens group pre-
pairing to undertake the work Of
promoting the issue and obtaining
petition signatures.
Wait on Justification.
Board members stressed the
Importance of not advertising any
bond issue until statistical ma
terial is ready to justify it. Not
only general needs should be OUT
lined, they said, but a specific
construction plan must be pre-
pared before citizen support can
be expected.
Schools Supt. w. T. Woodson
declared he could not possibly
have such a plan finished before
October. And that would mean.
he said. an election on the issue
could not come until December
or later.
Fred w. Robinson, chairman Of
the board, pointed out that, with
26 buildings underway and $3.5
million still to let from the last
bond issue, only a specific plan
could persuade voters to support
new issue.
Robert F. Davis, pressing for
early action, said too specific a
plan would arouse sectional rival
ries. He asked for a presentation
OF overall county needs instead.
