|Areo|a Group Rejects
Closed Hearing Plan
On Sewers for Area

Homeowners in the Arcola area
of Wheaton, Md, voted last night
to reject the Washington Subur-
ban Sanitary Commissions offer
Of closed hearing on the extern
sion of sewer lines into their de-
velopment.
The sanitary commission had
tentatively set the conference for
October 3. but had limited attend
ance to six or eight representa-
tives Of the Wheaton Citizens As
sociation.
The association and other resi-
dents along Arcola avenue, just
east of Georgia avenue, want a
full-scale public hearing of the
problems rather than closed con-
ference: Thy say they have been
trying for. three years to get a
hearing on the extension Of the
sewer lines into the area where
approximately 100 homes have
been built.
Philip Marcus. chairman of the
associations Public Utilities Com
mittee. said other civic groups,
Including the Allied Civic Group of
Silver Spring and the County
Civic Federation, want to partici-
pate in the hearing. He said a
number of developers have also
indicated they would appear at a
hearing to give assurance to the
sanitary commission that they
would begin building in the area
III sewer lines were installed.
The association will send a let
ter to the sanitary commission
today rejecting its closed confer
|ence offer and renewing a request
for an open session on the sewer
line extension.
The commission contends the
project would cost as high as $780,
600, which is excessive, they say,
in view Of the small number of
homes in the area. The associa-
ton, however. says the extensions
covering the main portion CT the
area where septic tanks have
proved imperative would cost less
than $188.000.

Kight was questioned the night
OF the robbery, along with Farmer.
but was released at that time.
Kight was taken into custody
at the FBI field Office, Twelfth
street and Pennsylvania avenue
NV, where he had been ques-
toned about his activities the day
Of the robbery.
Farmer previously had admitted
to police that he looted the ar
truck while it was parked
at a service entrance to the Ward
man Park Hotel. The four Drinks

lunch at the time, were fired the
next day.

Wheaton High School
Budget Problem
Studied al Meeting

The Montgomery County School
Board met with the architect of
the proposed Wheaton (Md.) High
School yesterday to decide whether
to draw up q new set of plans
|or seek County Council sanction
|of figure higher than the 50
million already approved for the
school.
The low bid opened recently
on the 52-room school was $2.7
million. Ronald 8. Senseman,
architect, said it would be i'm
possible to trim enough of present
plans to keep within the So mil
lion figure.
May Drop Two Wings.
School officials also were to con-
slider eliminating two proposed
wings, one which would contain
special rooms and the other seven
workshops.
Elimination Of the wings would
cut some $292, 900 on the price of
the building designed to accom-
modate between 1000 and 1000
students.
The Federal Government has
allocated $1.8 million for the
structure. The county viii raise
the rest Of the check.
Grounds Being Cleared.
II school officials decide to seek
approval Of the higher figure,
they probably will appear before
the County Council Tuesday, ac-
cording to Richard e. Carpenter,
assistant superintendent in charge
OF construction.
Meanwhile. grading and clearing
operations are underway on the
27-acre site Of the school on Ran
dolph road near Connecticut ave-

head Of the home rule drive.
Mrs. Igma Bogdanoff, publicity

But as she spoke, the county
commissioners, who have named
five opposing charter board en-
tries. set out to make inroads
themselves.
Our boys" the county heads
exhorted in a capital letter state
ment, "are interested in the views
of all the citizens of Prince
Georges County,"
And. after several paragraphs
devoted to 1.-The personal expert
ences and aptitudes" of their
"fair-minded. sincere and consci-
entious candidates. the commits
sioners informed voters that all
of the five are ready to speak ION

In another development on the
issue last night Enos s. Stock
bridge, a Baltimore attorney, told
a meeting of the county League
of Women Voters that home rule
is needed in urban counties.
Charter government" said Mr..
Stockbridge. who is a member of
the Sobeloff Commission for Ad-
ministrative Organization of the
State, "is particularly adapted to
Prince Georges, Anne Arundel,

ties"
Montgomery County and Balti-
more City are the only subdivi-
sions Of Maryland employing
charter rule.

Junior High School the league
women outlined plans to man the

that a drive to raise funds for

TeleViS1on Is, too, q weapon OF
which Hollywood had better be-
ware. Works in mysterious ways
its wonders to perform. Television,
with its spectacularly successful
telecasts Of Senator Kefauyer's
Senate Crime Investigating Com
mittee, inspired Hollywood to try
its hand at something like that.
This may not be dirty pool. but
it was an underhanded trick for
teleyision to play on a senior
entertainment art.
Specifically. to get to the busi-
ness at hand, Republic was the
studio inspired to do q picture
about q Senate committee inveS-
tigating crime and came up. with
"Hoodlum Empire now at the
Metropolitan. This injection Of
the dignity Of the Senate into the
proceedings has not been allowed
to provide any shocks for regular
customers Of the Metropolitan
accustomed to action and stock
movie types.
"Hoodlum Empire does have its
investigating committee types, in
addition to the movie gangsters.
In Brian Donlevy, as q Senator
Bill Stephens, it has it's Senator
Kefauver. firm and fearless COM
mittee- chairman determined to
lay bare the dealings Of the crime
syndicate, In Gene Lockhart's
Senator Tower 1t has its Senator
Tobey, who is against sin and will
ing to denounce 1t at the drop of
a pause in the conversation. The
picture also has its Virginia Hill,
sort Of, in Clare Trevor's portrait
of feminine friend of underworld
overlords.
Any pretentions Producer-Di-
rector Joseph Kane may have had
about turning out an exciting
documentary, however, have been
effectively stymied by the SCREEN
play by Bruce Manning and Bob
Considine. This keeps wandering
out of the Investigators chambers
and into the bywayS Of stock
gangster meiodrama. In the end
it demonstrates principally that
the multiple 1iashback technique
can arrive only at chaos.
The hero Of ''Hoodlum Empire
is a young man named Joe Gray,
played by John Russell. who
seems to be happy not to be a
villain. but displays no other
evidence Of exalted emotions. Joe
used to be in the rackets. but
during the war he falls in with
a group Of good, honest National
Guard boys from Central City and
is converted to their ways.
He also meets a French peasant
girl. played by Vera Ralston, a
Republic regular who used to be
a Czechoslovakian skater named

Joe takes her out to Central City
and opens a filling station. The
rackets bosses. played by Luther
Adler and Forrest Tucker. take
a dim view Of this enterprise and
invade Central City. opening
gambling salons, horse parlors and
race books in the name Of Joe
Gray. If you, think this explana-
ton is getting involved, you
ought to see the picture.
You'll have to do that to learn
any more about 1t, but don't ex-
pect any radical departures from
past cops and robbers melo-
dramas. "Hoodlum Empire" may
not be in contempt Of the Senate
but it doesn't have a very high
regard for the intelligence OF
moviegoerS.
