Police Shots Corner
Boys After Wild Race

Two Baltimore boys were caught
by State Police after a wild chase
over a dangerous road and two
Icrackups of their stolen car early
today. They yielded after police
bullets ricocheted around them.
"It's a miracle they're not both
dead" Maryland State police said
State Trooper George Herman
spotted their car in Howard Coun-
ty shortly after midnight, on Riggs
road, a lane little used at that
hour.
He said they roared away as he
approached, and he went after
them.
The pursuit lasted four miles
and ended two miles Southeast OF
Elkridge. The officer said the fu-
gitive car went off the road and
hit the foundation Of q razed
house.
He said he stopped and ran to
the wreck. Before he could get the
door open, the damaged auto
zoomed into reverse, bumped
across the road and crashed into
the roadbank on the other side.
Trooper Herman fired four
times. Every slug pierced the car
and bounced around inside. The
boys surrendered then, and he dis
covered they were juveniles IA. one
16 years old.

B:erwyn Residents
Reassured on Route
OF Proposed Freeway

Residents Of the Berwyn area
today have official assurance that
they will be consulted before the
location Of the proposed Inter-belt
Freeway is decided.
The assurance was given last
night by Robert M. Watkins
chairman of the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Mr.. Watkins allayed the fears OF
homeowners while explaining his
agency'S master highway plan at
a meeting in the Hyattsville Ma
tional Guard Armory. He said q
meeting will be arranged early in
the new year to discuss the matter.
About $50 persons heard the 25-
year-plan outlined by the chair
man, other members of the COM
mission and its staff. Most Of those
present live In the Berwyn- College
Park area.
They were apprehensive that the
Freeway which one day will en-
circle Washington would cut Ber-
wyn IN two.
4 Locations Studied.
Fred w. Tuemmler, the commits
sion's planning director told them
that four proposed locations have
been studied. But he added that
three Of them have been shunted
aside for intensive consideration
Of the more northerly route asked
by the citizens.
Mr.. Tuemmler and Mr.. Watkins
said that the commission recog-
nizes that its major duty is to
protect communities against un-
warranted intrusions Of traffic.
They added they feel the Freeway
problem can be amicably adjusted
within eight weeks.
A map showing Berwyn halved
by the Freeway and which was
apparently the cause Of much
|of the homeowners' worry was
handed to MIR. Tuemmler as con-
vincing evidence.
Was Map Of Tour.
After quick glance, Mr..
Tuemmler said the map showed
the route of a tour sponsored by
the commission last June. 1T
means nothing" he said, except
that we had a good time"
Proposed relocation Of Univer-
sity lane provoked lengthy dis
cussion. Mr.. Tuemmler said
plans are in the study stage.
Commendation of the master
plan was voiced by several mem
bers of the audience, but County
Commissioner Edward j. Waters
expressed doubt about the inter-
belt freeway.
"I question:" he said, whether
the money the freeway will require
could not be better spent II used
to improve existing roadways and
for storm drainage installations" |"
Mr.. Watkins and Mr.. Tuemmler
in outlining the master plan en-
phasized that it is q long-range
proposal and should not be con-
fused with q construction pro-
gram. The plan shows types and
general locations Of highways but
neither pinpoints routes nor as
signs priorities.

Lynch Tells Reasons
For Walking Out Of
Virginia Legislature

Edwin Lynch. delegate to the
Virginia Assembly from Fairfax
County. last night gave his final
legislative report to his constitu-
ents and elaborated on his rea-
sons for walking out on the special
session of the Legislature two
weeks ago.
Speaking before about IS per-
sons in the Fairfax Circuit Court
room. Mr.. Lynch said he had de-
cided to step aside because he be-
lieved that the time had come
when some one else could better
represent. Fairfax County in the
House Of Delegates.
AFTER a man has been there
for awhile he gets labeled" said
the legislator who frequently is
lined up with the anti-organiza-
ton wing Of the Democratic Party
IT did not go there to fight the
machine" he said, "but to repre-
sent Fairfax County. admit
that I opposed a lot of measuers
that the newspapers said were
backed by the organization"
Praises Battles Record.
Mr.. Lynch said that he believed
the record of Gov. Battle ION the
whole, was wonderful, particularly
in the field of schools" Then he
added that 'if 1t had not been
for the Byrd tax reduction law,
Gov. Battles record could have
been outstanding. He could have
done more for the mental hos
pitfalls which are a blot on Vir-
ginia."
His reference was to the auto
matte tax reduction law spon-
sored by State Senator Harry F..
Byrd. jr., Of Winchester, son of
the United States Senator who
heads the dominant Democratic
organization in the State. Under
the law, when State revenues reach
a prescribed amount, the excess
is refunded to taxpayers.
The General Assembly failed to
pass an equitable bill to reappor-
tion its membership, the legis-
lator said.
IF they had wanted TO be fair,
which I don't believe they wanted
to do" he said, they would have
given Fairfax County three. in
stead of. two members Of the
House. I think I know why such
things were done. but don't
have any positive proof"
Committee An Powerful.
He said that members Of the
powerful Privileges and Elections
Committee virtually determined
what representation each area
would have in the General AS
Sembly.
"The story was that when this
bill left the committee we were
warned that we must not change
it or else we might fare worse" he
said. "It seems to me this showed
a lack Of faith on the part of the
committee in the rest of the mem
bers of the House and Senate"
Several in the audience at
tempted to get Mr.. Lynch to re-
wise his statement of two weeks
ago that he would not seek public
Office again in Virginia.
II intend to keep on participat-
ing in politics." Mr.. Lynch said.
"1n support the man who will
speak out for what is right"

BY the Associated Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 8.-The Food
and Drug Administration came
under sharp judicial criticism here
yesterday as Federal Judge Viii
liam C. Coleman dismissed charges
against an Eastern Shore packer
accused of watering" oysters.
In acquitting the Melbourne
Oyster Co. of Crisfield, Judge Cole
man said the Federal authorities
had "to much tendency to prose-
cute rather than assist dealers or
manufacturers in a better under
standing of the regulations"
Six other oyster packers face
similar charges of violating 1947
regulation which limits the amount
of free liquid in canned oysters to
5 per cent. Federal prosecutors
would not say whether the deci-
sion in the Melbourne case would
control the other cases.
Judge Coleman said the regu-
lation involved was "inartistically
drawn" and apparently unwork-
able, and he suggested that the

law be reviewed and more clearly
defined.
He said that when inspectors
visited the seven plants they gave
no indication that anything was
seriously wrong. but proceeded to
build up a criminal case.
"This case" the Judge contin-
ued, seems to typify the general
attitude of the Government to-
ward these food and drug cases.
There is too much tendency to
prosecute rather than assist deal
ers or manufacturers in q better
understanding of the regulations,
and to cultivate a better attitude
and ability with respect to carry
ing them out"
He recommended that instead
Of going into a plant with the
idea of making a criminal case,
the investigators should attempt
to bring an end to such litigation.
He also suggested that q civil in
junction action might serve better
than extended criminal proceed
Ings in stopping violations.

lief rolls to public inspection were
on tap today in the Virginia House

yesterday in a blaze of debate that
preceded passage of the new Byrd
automatic tax reduction law by

Nelson made an impassioned plea
for amendments that would have,
in effect, rNealed the proposal.
He cited nee eesAbf mental inStituA
|tions and other State health, well
fare and educational agencies and
pleaded with the delegates to "be
Just before you are generaous."
Delegate w. r. BroadduS Of
