When a third of the 612 Lang
ley Park Elementary School chill
dren come to classes covered with
mud up to their knees, residents
start getting angry.
But the trouble is, no one can
find the right Prince Georges
County authority to take the re-
sponsibility for paving the 570-
foot section of Merrimack drive
that lies between New Hampshire
avenue and Old Riggs road.
Residents angrily denounce the
section, saying "even dark cloud"
makes the roadway treacherous
mudhole that causes a car to roll
and toss like a ship in rough
waters.
Even the teachers have become
concerned because the Langley
Park School is a county show
piece.
Lost 2 Pair Of Boots.
One small boy is starting on his
third pair of high boots this winter
the others were ruined when
they were pulled from his feet by
the sucking mud.
He calls the stretch mo mans
land"
Parents have written the presi-
dent of the Board of Commission
ers, area newspapers. the Board
of Public Works and even MEM
bers of Congress.
But, apparently, no one can do
anything about it.
School Supt. William S. Schmidt
considers hard-surfaced Fifteenth
avenue to the west the best &C
cess to the school from some 800
new homes at one end OF the eye
sore.
But parents feel that the board
couldn't have intended that be-
cause the school has a paved walk
connecting it to the roadway-at
a point on the unpaved section.
Means Hours Hike.
Furthermore, they argue, the
Fifteenth avenue suitable access"
means an hour-long hike for the
kids along Old Riggs road, Univer-
sity lane. New Hampshire ave-
nue. and then up the other end OF
Merrimack drive.
That's a lot of difference from
a. five or 10-minute walk, they
point out.
Mr.. Schmidt, who said he has
received only one formal complaint
from parents, takes this attitude:
"1t's got to be proved to me that

From another point comes the
information that the county De-
partment of Public Works isn't
going to take the situation In
hand.
IT would suggest that if the
residents are not satisfied with
the present conditions, the Par

asks?

BY that, Mr.. Marburger con-
tinued, he meant boardwalks
should be built around the mud
hole. That stretch, he said, is
part of 1870 miles of roads, streets
and cowpaths in the county not
maintained by his department.

Jamaicans Work
To Get Self
Government

KINGSTON, Jamaica - The
jamaican house of representatives
last week unanimously approved
motion calling for self-govern-
ment for the island.
The latest move by the Jamai-
cans probably was stimulated by
the awarding of commonwealth
status to Puerto Rico. Both is
lands are in the Caribbean. Puerto
Rico was under U.S.A. control, and
Jamaica is under British control.
Norman Washington Manley,
leader Of the Peoples National
party, made the motion calling for
self-government for jamaica.
A committee of seven members
was appointed to prepare a con-
stitution providing for self-gov-
eminent. 1t will be submitted for
the approval of the British secre-
tary of state for colonies at the
earliest possible date.
The new constitution probably
will be similar to that of Puerto
Rico since Manley long has been

WaIcott Eyes
Title Contest
With Marciano

NEW YORK - jim Norris,
President of the International Box
ing Club, and Felix Bocchicchio,
manager Of Jersey Joe Walcott,
went into a huddle Tuesday to try
to arrange a Walcott-Rocky Mar
ciano heavyweight title bout for
September.
Norris suggested six possible
dates for the bout: September 8,
6, Is, 16, %, or %, but declared he
would prefer the last one.
Bob Christenberry, Chairman of
the New York Boxing Commission,
has consistently refused to issue
Bocchicchio a managers license in
this state, because "of his past
criminal record"
And Bocchicchio has just as
consistently said he would not per-
nit Walcott to fight in New York
unless he, Bocchicchio, were grant
ed such a license.
The IBC prexy said he would
prefer to stage the bout in one
of the New York ball parks but if
that were not feasible he would
stage it elsewhere, perhaps in
Philadelphia or Detroit.
Meanwhile Marciano, jubilant
rver his two-round Knockout Of
Harry Matthews last week, was a
round to pick up his check for $751;
078, his share Of a gross gate OF
$215,707 and net of $17,262.

a ruling from the country's high

but each time they were turned
down on grounds that the State
Supreme Court had failed to rule
