Mount Rainier Traffic Lights
Delayed by Unlicensed Work

A controversy over Mount
Rainier's employment of an elec-
trician not licensed in Prince
Georges County has delayed use
of two new traffic lights near
Thomas Stone Elementary School
for about a month.
Mount Rainier Mayor Herbert
w. Reichelt said, however, the dis
pute has been ironed out and the
lights will be turned on in a few
days. They are located on Thirty
fourth street at Arundel road and
at Webster street. a heavily
travelled intersection used by
school children.
The lights were installed by
George Butler, who works for the
District as a traffic light elec-
trician. He lives in Cheverly, but
is not licensed to do electrical
work in Prince Georges County,
although he has installed street
lights for Mount Rainier in the
past.
This time. however, an unnamed
County electrical contractor COM

trical Examiners and Supervisors
declined to approve the job. With

Prince Georges County Police
Get Powerful New Radio Voice

A powerful new voice, set in
motion by an electronic principle
used by no other police depart
ment in Maryland, booms out
today from a Prince Georges
County police antenna atop q
huge water tower at Suitland.
The tower, under the jurisdic-
ton of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, is set on
the highest spot in the county
and at it's approximate geographic
cal center.
Radio waves on frequency of
1913 megacycles leave the antenna

and emerge from scout car radios
with twice the volume produced
by the old system.

tower.
Responding to tiny impulses,

The proprietor and bartender OF

Md, were arrested on gambling
charges last night by an off-duty
policeman who said he observed
an over-the-counter pay-off on q

The bartender, Norman E. Lubar

The proprietor, Harry w. Green

not give the installation his req.
uisite okay. D.
The board cited a 15-year-old
County law requiring that all
electrical installation be done BY
Ia County, licensed electrical con-
tractor. Town officials argue that
the law is not intended to cover
installation Of street and traffic
lights.
Two weeks ago the board gave
tentative approval Of the traffic
lights subject to re-installation by
a County licensed electrician.
Decide To Waive Law.
But the issue had so hared up
by then among the contractors
that Mayor Reichelt said he was
unable to find a lisensed elec-
trician who could or would take
on the job.
Finally, after Mr.. Reichelt had
conferred with John H. Webb,
secretary treasurer of the board,
the examiners decided to waive
the law in this case.
The Mayor said he took the
view that it is folly to endanger
the lives of school children bicker-
ing over technicalities. Mr.. Webb
emphasized that the board will
insist that the law be followed to
the letter hereafter.

a year for 10 years. Maryland
itself would put up So million a
year for 10 years.
Representatives Beall and Fal-
lon, who are members of the roads
subcommittee of the House Com
mittee on Public Works. said they
doubted Maryland will ever get
the money that way.
Favor Specific Project.
They suggested instead that the
Maryland delegation ought to
press the Federal Government to
carry out specific projects instead
of asking for simple ALLEGATIONS
Of money.
For example, it was suggested
the Federal Government might be
prevailed upon to complete the
new Annapolis Washington ex-
pressway.
Another possibility was COM
Ipleting the new Washington Ma
tional Pike. If the Government
could be persuaded to take this
over as part of a parkway from
Washington to Gettysburg, Pa,
Maryland would be relieved of a
lot Of the cost.
Another suggestion was that the
District of Columbia ought to
earmark some of the Federal road
money it gets for work in the sub
urbs on expresways leading into
the city. 1t was pointed out that
the District gets about as much
in its share of Federal road funds
as the entire State of Maryland.
Main Needs Listed.
The main need in the suburban
area, Mr.. Mccain said. is an ex-
lpressway that would sweep around
the District. a roads system on the
circumference that would enable
traffic to get around the Nations
Capital or distribute it among the
main channels leading into the
city.
The session broke up with the
promise that Representatives Beall
and ,Fallon will go to the Bureau
of Public Roads to see if it has
any suggestions for a solution.
The problem has been taken ur
with Federal authorities several
times before. he said. President
Roosevelt assured the State Roads
Commission 10 years ago he ap-
preciated the problem and prom
Used to do something about 1t. Mr.
Mccain said. So far the STATE
lhas gotten little help On It.

1t. Louis ]. Mackall, Police De-
partment communications officer
who installed the new apparatus,
described it as equipment Of the
most advanced type" -
One of its chief advantages, he
explained. is that there are no
wires between Upper Marlboro
and Suitland transmitters and
thus no interruptions caused by
line failures.
The Hyattsville station will
continue to send out it's calls over
a separate 250-watt transmitter
connected by telephone circuits
to an antenna on a 90-foot water
tower at Cheverly.
In addition to the risk of inter-
ruption by wire breaks, the
Hyattsville station is handicapped
by the fact that the topography
of the countryside near the an
tenna is so "ridgy" as to impede
radio signals.
The police department plans to
ask the county commissioners to
authorize a new-type transmitter
at Hyattsville costing $500. The
total cost Of new equipment placed
in operation yesterday was about
Sc, 900.

Sharpe Hints
He May Quit
School Board
Refuses to Set Dute
For Resignation, but
Indicates 1t Is Near

C. Melvin Sharpe. president of
the Board of Education, is con-
sidering resigning from the board,
but he would not say today exactly
when.
Mr.. Sharpe would not deny or
confirm reports that he would
submit his resignation to the Dis
trict Court judges next week. The
judges appoint members of the
Board Of Education. He COM
mented:
II haven't resigned yet - but
don't be surprised"
Judge James r. Kirkland, who
heads the committee of judges
which selects candidates for the
School Board posts. said that Mr..
Sharpe and Albert E. Steinem,
another member of the School
Board, had an appointment with
him at 3 pm. Monday.
He said he did not know If Mr..
Sharpe intended to resign.
Courtesy Call Only"
Mr.. Steinem, when asked why
he was calling on Judge Kirkland,
said he intended it as a courtesy
call only. He said he had not
thought Of resigning.
Mr.. Sharpe recalled that he had
announced some months ago that
he vas serving his last term on the
Board of Education. He first was
appointed 13 years ago.
They're jumping the gun on me
a little" he commented. referring
to reports he would resign imme-
diately.
If Mr.. Sharpe gives up his Board
OF education membership next
week, Adelbert w. Lee, now vice
president. would become the head
of the board. He would continue
until his term expires next June.
Mr.. Lee has stated he will not
stand for reappointment after his
present term ends. He has served
on the school board since 1943.
Corning's Severest Critic.
Mr.. Sharpe's resignation thus
would give School Supt. Hobart
M. Corning's severest critic on
the school board command for the
next six months. So
Mr.. Lee, Mr.. Sharpe and DR..
Phillip T. johnson apparently
were the three school board mem
bers who opposed DR.. Corning's
reappointment at last Wednes-
days special session, DR.. Corn
ing won reappointment for his
third three-year term by a vote
of 6 to 3.
Besides Mr.. Lee, DR.. Johnson
and Mrs. e. C. Magdeburger come
up for reappointment to the
Board Of Education in June. Mr..
Sharpe was renamed last year
and his present term does not
expire until June, 1854.

Virginia sec Defends
Free Utility Services
Granted 10 Members
BY the Associated Pres,

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 4 - The
three members of the State Cor
poration Commission said yester-
day it appeared the trainers of
the 1902 Virginia constitution per-
mitted the commission members
to accept free utility services to
free them Of any financial inter-
est in corporations under their
control. ...
It was disclosed during a Chesa-
peake & Potomac Telephone Co
rate hearing Wednesday that the
commission members receive tele-
phone service gratis for their pri-
vate calls made to any point in
Virginia. They also receive free
train and bus transportation and
free Western Union telegraph ia
cilities in the State.
Ralph T. Caterall. a member of
the commission, said that he and
Commissioner H. Lester Hooker
and w. Marshall King were in
agreement that the commission
specifically exempted the corpora
ton. commission members and
officers from its ban against ac-
cepting free utilities service to
divorce them from any personal
financial interest in the compa-
MES.
Says Payment Is Interest"
- Mr.. Caterall reasoned that q
subscription by an sec member
to telephone service or the pay
ment for transportation on buses
or trains would constitute a per-
Sonal financial interest in the
company involved.
Members of the commission
emphasized that they are barred
from owning stock or otherwise
having a financial interest in COM
panies under commission regula-
ton.
Commissioner Hooker, who has
been a member Of the sec for 2t
years, said the custom Of accept
ing free phone and transportation
services had been in vogue by the
commission ever since he had been
a member of the body. Its pro-
priety has not been questioned
during his membership on the
body. he added.

to some of its top officials ano
directors and allows discounts tt
some 10000 employees, ministers

MuIIigan Reelected
To Head Civic Group
In Prince Georges

Walter F. Mulligan Of Berwyn
today began his 18th year as
president Of the Prince Georges
County Civic Federation.
The veteran leader was re-
elected at Hyattsville last night
and all other officers Of the fedora
ton and its directors also retained
their posts except Mrs. Alice Da-
muth, who resigned as secretary
to devote more time to her duties
as president of the West Hyatts-
vile Citizens Association.
Miss Margaret G. Engle Of Col
lege Park was unanimously named
to succeed her.
Police Motion Tabled.
Some conclusions of recent
Government survey report were
criticized by the delegates and a
plan for a single county police
force was tabled.
"All out Of reason" was the tag
pinned by Legislative Committee
Chairman Daniel M. Greene on
survey recommendations for abol-
ishment of the Maryland Ma
tional- Capital Park and Planning
Commission and District annexa-I
'tion of adjacent heavily-pepu-
lated areas.
OF the survey itself. Mr.. Greene
said.
I'm my opinion, a~good, strong
committee could have taken the
Brookings Institute report on the
Montgomery County setup and
with some expert assistance could
have gotten out a report as good
as that for which the county paid
$25, ,000."
The flve-month probe of the
Prince Georges County govern
ment was conducted by the Public
Administration Service of Chicago.
Proposal Endorsed.
The federation adopted a mo-
ton by Mr.. Greene indorsing Gin
principle" proposed congressional
legislation to reore sSiize the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission. The measure would
establish a regional planning
council which would include four
members from Maryland and the
same number from Virginia.
Albert Guidotti, police and fire
committee chairman offered the
nine-point police plan which in
cluded abolishment of the sher-
ifs office as an elective post, a
procedure suggested by survey ex-
lperts. An amendment to the
State Constitution would be re-
quired before the plan could be
carried out.
His motion drew remarks from
the floor which made it clear that
most Of the towns which have
their own police departments will
fight before they give them up.
Budget Debate Asked.
Unanimously adopted was a res
Iolution presented by Mrs. Irma
Bogdanoff, chairman of the coun-
ty Affairs Committee, requesting
the county commissioners to hear
debate on the next budget for at
least two days instead of one day
as in the past.
The motion asks departmental
cation Of the new budget and ad-
vance notice of which requests
are to be discussed on a given day.
A two-year breakdown of bureau
estimates and final allotments also
lis suggested.
Mr.. Mulligan announced that
he had been informed that the
State Public Service Commission
will hear Capital Transit Co. ar
tgurnents on it's proposal to cut bus
service to College Park in Balti-
more January 10. Opponents, he
said, will be given time to pre-
pare rebuttal."
The federation voted to invite
Representatives Of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
lning Commission to give their
views on coming at the groups
