Hearing SET on Action
In Armory LOT Suit

A hearing will be held on March
IA in Montgomery County Circuit
Court on a demurrer to the County
Councils suit seeking to force
return of the Silver Spring Armory
lot to the county from the Mary
land-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.
The hearing date was set yes
terday by Judge Charles w. Wood
ward, after the demurrer was filed
by j. Bond Smith and H. Warren
Buckler, jr., attorneys for the
commission.
The demurrer contends the
transfer of the 41a-acre lot from
the county commissioners to the
planning agency in 1914 was "pur-
suant to valid contract between
said county and said commission. "
It also says the county's suit
cites no facts to support its argu-
ment that the former county COM
missioners lacked authority to
make the transfer.
Last month. the Most Rev. Pat
rick A. O'Boyle, Archbishop of
Washington, intervened in the
councils suit as a defendant. His
action stemmed from previous
sale of a part of the property to
St. Michael's Church. Construc-
ton of a new 100000 church on
the site is nearly finished.
Meanwhile, it was learned that
attorneys for the archbishop have
agreed to postpone filing their
answer to the suit until February
IS to give County Attorney David
Macdonald an opportunity to re-
move the church property from

Supreme Court Hears
Arguments March ;
On Transit Radio

The Supreme Court today set
March 3 for hearing arguments
on whether radio broadcasts on
Capital Transit Co. streetcars and
buses violate the Constitutional
rights of riders.
The appeal from a United
States Court of Appeals decision
will be the first case heard when
the tribunal returns from a bench
recess, which began yesterday.
The appeals court opinion,
written last June by Judge Henry
w. Edgerton, with Judges David
L. Bazelon and Charles Fahy con-
curing, held that commercial
broadcasts on the transit company
vehicles deprive objecting pas
sengers of liberty without due
process of law"
Would Bar All Broadcasts.
That decision was a victory for
a group known as Transit Riders
Association, which had fought the
transit broadcasts since they were
started more than two years pre-
viously. Although the decision
dealt with commercial broadcasts
on transit company vehicles, the
association has asked the Supreme
Court to outlaw all transit broad
casts.
When the litigation first reached
the court, the first round was
won by Capital Transit and Tran
sit Radio, Inc, which sells the
equipment and arranges for the
broadcasts. District Court Judge
Edward A. Tamm upheld the Dis
trict Public Utilities Commission
dismissal of a petition to halt the
broadcasts. The Court of Ap-
lpeals overruled Judge Tamm.
10 Cities Involved.
The case has attracted Nation
wide attention because final
decision might affect broadcasts
| in buses and streetcars in 10 other
major cities. The Transit Radio
System, with headquarters in Gin
Icinnati, operates the overall pro-
grams.
A spokesman for Washington
Transit Radio, which is in i'm
mediate charge of operations Of
the broadcaSts here. said the ap-
lpeals court decision "is so broad
that it not only challenges tran
sit radio broadcasts. but is an
implied challenge to all industry
supported commercial adyertis-
ling"
