Broyhi|| Challenged
On GI Housing Probe

Edmund D. Campbell, Democra-
tic candidate for the House from
Virginia's 10th District, today
challenged his Republican oppo-
nent, Joel T. Broyhill, to ask for
a hearing before the House CT
Committee investigating housing.
The committee charged that Mr..
Broyhill'S building firm failed to
comply with minimum construc-
ton requirements in some of its
houses. Mr.. Broyhill complained
that the committee did not ask
any one in his company for infor-
nation.
Mr.. Campbell said, "Mr. Broy-
hill has obviously known for some
time that the House CT Commit
tee was investigating veterans
housing constructed by the Broy-
hill firm, for he issued q public
statement on the subject on July
II OF this year.
II assume the committee, which
is composed of both Republicans
and Democrats. will be glad to
hear him. If he has been
unfairly treated by the committee,
he owes it to the people of the
10th district to seek a public hear
ing and present his story. Until
he does, he should not complain il
the people assume that the COM
mittee'S findings are correct"

On THghmon Island

EASTON, Md, Sept. 3.-Dr.
Louis S. Welty, Talbot County
health officer, says an efflgy hung
in q tree won't head of his plans

DR.. Welty said he thought it was
"Tilghman Island residents who
put up the ef1igy because of the
Tilghman address on some Of the

to the sewerage correction orders
being issued there"
DR.. Welty is winding up a cam
paign to correct faulty sewerage

HyattsviI|e Officials
Reassure Citizens on
Storm Sewer Project

About 40 angry storm victims
of West Hyattsville were told by
the Mayor and City Council last
night that sewer construction to
put an end to flooding of base
ments and roads after severe rains
will begin in few weeks.
Mayor Jesse Baggett announced
the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission will let bids Sep
TENDER %, and initial ground
breaking should start October /.
Most of the complaining citi-
zens reside on either Twenty
ninth, Thirtieth or Thirty first
avenue. E..
Their spokesman demanded ex-
plantations for improper sewer IA
cilities. They were not sure. how
ever, whether the council, the
sanitary commission of the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission were to
blame individually or collectively.
Several claimed the lack of
foresight by officials granting
building permits brought on the
present high water levels.
Explains Situation.
Mayor Baggett, who readily adj
mitted he had been forced to bail
2 feet of water from his own base
ment yesterday, made these points
to the aroused group:
l. The city of Hyattsville issues
no building permits.
2. The city controls only the
streets a builder constructs.
3. The Park and Planning Com
mission issues all permits for con-
struction in the county, regard
less Of the size of the proposed
structure.
4. The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission is the only
group empowered to install storm
drainage.
S. Though present problems of
flooded homes in West Hyattsville
were predicted several years ago,
the present City Council was the
first council to try to negotiate a
solution with the sanitary COM
mission.
$4,000 Allocated.
8. An agreement was reached
early last month whereby the
council allocated $4,000 for storm
drainage in West Hyattsville. The
sanitary commission agreed 30 pay
the balance of the $41,0O0 esti-
mated for the project.
z. The council informed a firm
erecting homes in the Wood
Manor section Of the Queens
Chapel area, source of flood waters
and mud, that no streets would be
authorized in the section unless
storm drainage facilities were in
stalled. The firm agreed to in
stall sewers.
The new sanitary commission
sewer will start at Jamestown
road and Lancer drive, run east on
Lancer drive to Queens Chapel
road. south on Queens Chapel road
to the trunk line at the Suburban
Trust Co.
In other business, the council
agreed to lease lot for parking
in the 1900 block of Farragut
street for two years. Rental will
equal property taxes. When the
lease expires the city will have an
option to buy the lot for $35, 900.
Car capacity is estimated at 207.

F|oris School Protest
As Unsafe Brings
Promise Of Action

Strong parent criticism of Floris
Elementary School as an unsafe
building resulted in a promise yes
terday by Fairfax School Board
members to take corrective steps.
Representatives of the Chan
DIFFERENTIATION Citizens Asso-
citation told board members the
building is a firetrap. More than
800 students began classes in the
three-story building yesterday.
Remedies Suggested.
A report prepared by Oscar
Costello, chief of the Herndon
Volunteer Fire Department, was
read to the board. It listed sug-
gestions for remedying some of
the objections raised by the citi-
zens' association.
Board members said many of
the suggestions had already been
carried out in repairs made by
school maintenance personnel.
Mrs. Margaret WEIGH, chairman
Of the association, led a delega-
ton of four who protested condi-
lions at the school. A letter she
had addressed to the board last
week was read to board members.
It criticized the lack of adequate
fire escapes and lack of f1reproof-
ing in the boiler room.
Temporary Transfer.
The board agreed to fireproof
the boiler room and have the
boiler rigidly inspected. Board
members also agreed to seek tenn
porary~ school facilities for 120
youngsters who attend classes on
the third floor of the old brick
building.
Mrs. WEIGH said these children
probably will be transferred to
space now used by Herndon High
School students when tho new
Herndon High School is completed
later this year.

Prince Georges Schools open next
Monday and District schools on

floor room in the old Jefferson
School vacant, at least for the
present, it was learned.
Three years ago, a fire escape
was built on the Cherry street
side Of 77-year-old Jefferson, but
there is no fire escape on the

81 Die in County
In 7-Month Period;

Prince Georges County is lead
ing all other Maryland counties
in the number of traffic deaths
this year.
State police statistics showed
today that "a persons were killed
in automobile accidents in Prince
Georges in the first seven months
|of 1852.
Anne Arundel County rates
second place with rs traffic fatal
tiles in the same period. Balti-
more County is third with %.
State Total Is 278.
Total traffic death toll for the
entire State, police statisticians
said, is 278 through July 81. OF
these, 66 have occurred in Balti-
more City. The total death toll
for the first seven months of this
year is still 7 per cent below the
total at the same time last year.
Most of the fatal accidents in
Prince Georges occurred in the
months of March, June and July.
The month-by-month breakdown
showed the county had three fatal
accidents in January. two in Feb
ruary, seven in March, four in
April, two in May. eight in June
and eight in July.
Neighboring Montgomery Coun-
ty has had only II traffic fatali-
ties in the first seven months of
this year. The breakdown there
shows six persons killed in Janu-
airy. two in February, two in April
and one in June.
Blame Boulevard Traffic.
Prince Georges police point out
that the county's high traffic
death toll probably is caused by
the large volume of traffic moving
through the county on the Balti-
more boulevard and Highway 3O1.
State police statistics bear out
this contention-the majority of
the fatal accidents in the county
occurred on one or the other of
those two heavily Travelled ar
teries.
Maryland traffic death figures
for August are not yet available.
