Calls Some Items Ridiculous.
"Some aspects of the league
committee report dealing with
Broyhill Park are positively ridicu-
lous. For instance, it says our
garages were not properly in
sulated. The facts are that no
garages were built on the prop
erty. The committee also says
that our homeowners had to go
through the furnace room to get
to the powder room. There are
no powder rooms. This is indica-
tive of the misstatements made
in the report.
"Our project contains 100
homes. There are 218 members
Of the Broyhill Park Citizens
Association. Every man and his
wife in the development belongs
to our association. Our relations
with the firm of M. T. Broyhill
& Sons have been entirely salts

plants have occurred. But In
every instance the firm has moved
to correct them. I re-
gard this company as one of the
most reputable building concerns

gard Joel T. Broyhill as an honest,
conscientious young man of out

Even if County Pays

The dangerous intersection OF
Branch avenue maryland Route

Springs. soon may have a traffic
light even if a Prince Georges
County Commissioner has to put
up part Of the money.
Commissioner Daniel A. Abbott
made this pledge yesterday after
the Maryland State Roads Com
mission advised the board of its
approval Of q light for the inter-
section.
The light. reported Commission
Engineer George N. Lewis, will
cost about $4,000 and will be put
in provided the county furnishes
Us per cent of it.
Board Chairman Thomas E.
Latimer said the commissioners
would be setting q precedent If it
authorized the $500 expenditure
because the intersection is located
outside the county's special i'm
|provement area.
There are several other cases
justified also." he explained, land
we wouldn't have the funds"
Mr.. Abbott and Commissioner
w. Everett Marion both said they
believed it merited consideration
and that some policy be started
to pay for such lights.

Retired U. 5. Employees
Also Banned From
Office, Hassan Holds

Retired Federal employees, as
well as those still on the Govern
ment payroll, are banned from
local and State Offices in Virginia,
in the opinion of Arlington Com
monwealth's Attorney William j
HaSsan.
Mr.. Hassan said he has received
inquiries concerning the status of
retired Federal employees and
those receiving military disability
pensions from many county citi-
Zens since the State Supreme
Court ruled Federal employees in
eligible to hold any other Office.
He said the language of the law
on which the Federal employee ban
was based is unmistakable in rul-
ing out those receiving emolu-
ments from the Federal Govern
ment. A retirement check is in
this category, he declared.
Stop Ordered on Pay.
However, persons receiving pay
ment for military service-connect-
ed disability are not included in
the ban. he said. Such persons
are eligible for election.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Hassan an
nounced he has advised County
Treasurer Colin C. Macpherson
that salary checks totaling $1,102,
which accrued to one of the Coun-
ty Board members ruled out of
Office by the courts decision, may
not be paid.
Alan A. Dean, against whom
the court action was originally
brought, did not accept salary
checks from the time the suit was
filed last March. Had he &C
cepted the checks, there would be
no legal recourse open to the
county to recover the funds, Mr..
HaSsan said.
Other Two Paid.
The other two board members
ruled out of Office. Robert w. Cox
and Daniel A. Dugan, received
their monthly checks on the
$1,000 yearly salary, since they
were not individual defendants in
the suit. This money cannot be
recovered by the county. Mr..
Hassan stated.
He said persons elected to fill
the vacancies created by the court
order are legally entitled to the
salaries for the full year. A civil
suit could be brought against the
two board members who received
pay checks. by those elected to
complete their terms, he declared.

jury on tnree counts OF false
|pretenSes.
Trial Magistrate Oscar j. See
set bond on the false pretense
charge at $1,000. and on that of
false advertising at $500.
Will Appeal Conviction.
Hoover was jailed in default of
bond. HIS attorney. Frederic o.
Louden, said he would appeal the
conviction on the false advertising
charge. Hoover pleaded not guilty
on all charges.
Meanwhile, police said they had
received number of other calls
from homeowners who reported
contracting with Hoover for his
services.
The alleged victims yesterday
told the court Hoover charged
them $3.50 to $500 each to rid
their homes of termites or wood
borerS.
The treatment. they said, con-
sisted Of a spray which smelled
like kerosene or fuel oil'' and
took Hoover or his helper about
an hour to apply in each case.
Effectiveness Denied.
Expert witnesses of the State,
however, said they knew of no
such anti : termite treatment
which could be effective under
such circumstances.
Hoover was charged on war
rants sworn out by Pierce A. Britt
|of 4 Kentbury place. John A.
Seller of 9110 Old Georgetown
road and Dallas P. Fry of 9108
Old Georgetown road.
He was arrested after Detective

j. j. Wineburgh Of the Washing
ton Pest Control Association and
two other experts in the investi-
CATION. The association works to
protect the public against fy.by-
night exterminators.
DR.. Wineburgh testified the
spray he analysed contained none
of the chemical commonly used
for pest control. He said it was
highly inf1ammable like kerosene
or fuel Oil"
DR.. r. w. st. George of the di-
vision Of forest insect investigation
of the Agriculture Department
and DR.. Ernest N. Cory, chief
Maryland entymologist, also testi-
fed for the State.
All three said inspection of the
alleged victims homes turned up
no signs of termites, and only one
indication Of "old house borers."
They said some Of the wood
showed holes made by turpentine
borers, which live only in live
trees.
Called Self MANAGER.
Hoover represented himself as
area manager OF the Universal
Pest Control of Rehoboth Beach,
Del, Mr.. Britt said.
State witnesses, however, de-
clared Hoover had not been in
business. in Delaware for two
years. They added he was not
an agent. but the proprietor of
the company.
The false advertising conviction
was based by the court on signs
on his truck and the contract pre-
Sented to his clients.
Hoover said he came to Bethes-
da about August / shortly after
marrying a Maryland woman. He
admitted from the witness stand
he had served Jail sentences for
carrying a concealed weapon, and
had been on probation on a bad

grim humOr i'm the retelling.
Soldiers in one hard-pressed unit
will never forget a day when they
found themselves cut off and sur
rounded. Out went a radio call for
help, and in flew a plane dropping
ammunition. Bundles from heav-
en-" exulted a sergeant.
But when the boxes, labeled
'sammunition," were opened,
each was found to contain ONE
well-braced typewriter.
WITH REDS streaming in from
all directions, the unit was left
with about three spare clips of
ammo - and "a typewriters!
In desperation, the sergeant
grabbed one of the typewriters and
hurled it into the middle of
a charging company of North
Koreans. They screamed with ter
ror - and fed - obviously think
ing it was some dread new weapon.
''I'd say we got more use
out of n single typewriter than
Micky Spillane could" says
that sergeant today. s'And
thank heaven, the next plane
dropped the real stuff"
A DETACHMENT of Marines,

ice in the front lines, was engaged
