Assembly Committees
Receive Plans for
Virginia Redistricting
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. Is
Two State legislative commit
tees buckled down today to the
job of lining up redistricting bills
for presentation at next weeks
special session of the General As
sembly.
Senate and House Committees
on Privileges and Elections held
a public hearing to receive sug-
gestions on realigning Virginia s
legislative districts.
The committeeman were ex-
pected to receive additional
proposals to go with two reappor-
tionment plans offered at yester-
days first meetings.
The two plans-tagged for iden-
tification purposes as the "Char-
lottesville changes" and the "Nor-
ris plan'-were received with
non-committal caution.
The charlottesville Changes
is a variation on a plan rejected
at the regular session of the legis-
lature last winter. The changes
were suggested at a meeting Of 1C
assemblymen at Charlottesville re-
Gently.
In general, the new plan re.
tains the old allotments of addi.
tional representation to heavily
populated urban areas, but re-
juggles proposed changes in rural
House districts so as to lessen
conflicts among present occupants
of House seats.
Senate districts would be shaken
up to make available one addi-
tional Senator for the Alexandria
area, the Newport ews-Warwick
area and the Portsmouth Norfolk
County region.
The Morris Plan" is the brain
child of Senator Robert o. Norris
of Lancaster County. This would
give additional representation to
Hampton Roads localities, give
greater representation to some
portions of Northern Virginia and
enlarge Senator Norris own dis
|trict.

Immediate Building
or Potomac Spans
Urged by Robinson

Immediate construction of two
bridges across the Potomac River,
to be built simultaneously, was
advocated last night by Brig. Gen.
Bernard L. Robinson, the Engineer
Commissioner.
He suggested this undertaking
in his opening statement on .Tne
Commissioners Report" televised
over WMAL-TV, The Star station.
Gen. Robinson's statement as to
the location of the bridges coin
cided with tentative locations
which after have been advocated
in the past. One of the bridges
would have it's Virginia side in
Alexandria. not far from the vi
cinity of the Hunting Towers
Apartment development, he said.
The oher would be built between
Key and Memorial Bridges.
Would Ease Traffic.
In the last few years one Sec
ton of the new Fourteenth Street
Bridge, carrying northbound traf-
fic, has been completed. The
southbound replacement span is
still to be built.
Gen. Robinson pointed out that
the immediate and simultaneous
construction of the two spans
would help materially in easing
traffic jams.
Touching on the milk question,
Commissioner Renah F. Camalier
told the panel of questioning re-
porters that certain Senators
have come to him and suggested
they would like to introduce legis-
lation to permit importation of
milk from outside the Washington
milkshed.
This outside milk, Commits
sioner Camalier added, would be
brought into the District and in
spected here and then sold out
side the city.
DOn0hue Denies RumOrs.
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue denied rumor that he was
going to take a paid position in
the Democratic National Commit
tee. The Commissioner, who said
he will resign when the new ad-
ministration comes in, also denied
a couple of other rumors.
He does not intend to return to
the armed forces, he said, and he
is not going to San Francisco, to
practice law. Instead, he added
he is going to remain in the Dis
trict and practice law here, as he
did before he became a Commits

Crime Quiz Data
Denied Counsel
AT Dope Trial
Cannot Make Senate
Produce Records,
Pine Tells Defense

Federal Judge David A. Pine
yesterday quashed a subpoena.
which required the Senate Dis
trict Committee to turn over GER
tain records of Capitol Hill crime
hearings to defense attorneys in
the narcotics conspiracy trial of
Randolph (Catf1sh) Turner and
nine codefendants.
Attorneys James j. Laughlin
and Albert j. Ahern, jr., had de-
manded, in the subpoena, that
statements taken from a number
of witnesses, plus records of closed
sessions of the Senate District
Crime Subcommittee, be turned
over to them.
But Judge Pine held that the
material requested was either not
relevant or, in the case of execu-
tive session testimony, that he had
no authority to compel it's produc-
ton without the sanction of the
Senate.
Argument over the disputed
subpoena occupied a large portion
of the trial proceedings yesterday
IN the U. S. District Court for the
District Of Columbia.
Surprises Prosecution.
Earlier. John Henry Smith, COL
ored. a police informer who had
taken the stand as a Government
witness, surprised the prosecution
by saying he could not identify a
man from whom he bought II
capsules of heroin last February
Is. The buy was made at the adj
dress Of Joseph (Peter Rabbit)
Smith, 1923 West Virginia ave-
nue. NE.
John Henry Smith also de-
clared that certain statements he
made to police were extracted
under duress. He said that at
one time he was "hit on the
head" by an officer he said he
thought was Sergt. Joseph Gabrys
OF the police Narcotics Squad.
AT first the informer, himself
under indictment in another mar
cotics case. refused to testify at
all. When he was directed to do
so by Judge Pine. his testimony
was at such variance with what
the prosecution apparently ex-
Ipected that Assistant United
States Attorney Thomas A. Wad-
den, jr.. changed Smiths status
to that of a hostile Witness"
Detective Tells of Raid.
Another witness, Detective Sey-
mour Raboy of the narcotics SQUAD,
told Of a raid he and another
officer, Ray Fillman, made at Jo-
seph Smiths home last Febru-
ary q.
He said they posed as vacuum
cleaner statesmen to gain entrance.
He said Smith tried to flush a
number of capsules, apparently
containing heroin, down a toilet
bowl. but that he salvaged one of
them. The detective said he found
three other capsules and syringe
needle in a bedroom at the house.
Toward the end Of the days
proceedings, Defense Attorney r.
Emmett Mckenzie addressed the
court on the subject of newspaper
publicity given recently concern
ing threats to the life of Herbert
(Bucklejaws) johnson, a former
dope peddler and a Government
witness.
Mr.. Mckenzie indicated that
such stories were prejudicial to the
defendants. He said they could
have contacted johnson at any
time during the summer, but that
none of them had done this, nor
did they. he asserted, have any de-
sire to do so.
The trial was to be resumed to.
day, probably with cross-exam-
nation of Detective Raboy.

Roads Sought
Allied Civic Group
Of Silver Spring
To Request Study

The Allied Civic Group of Sill.
yer Spring wants a comprehensive
study and reclassification of Mary
land roads before extensive i'm
provementS are carried out.
At a meeting at the COUNTY
Service Building attended by about
so delegates last night, the grour
voted to urge the General Assem-
bly, to order the study of all roads
in the State.
Donald E. Brown, chairman OF
the groups Public Highway Com
mittee, said similar proposals were
presented to the General Assembly
last year and early this year with
out success. Mr.. Brown Endorsed
the survey as sound method OF
establishing construction priori-
ties. He said roads should be
built according to plan. and not
according to pressures.
The committee noted that the
report of the Sobeloff Commission
recommended re-examination OF
the present system of road clas-
Isif1cation. Another recent report
on a proposed 12-year construc-
tion program. the committee said
is based upon the existing system
and makes no proposals for new
Iclassif1cationS.
EvanswOod Plan Indorsed.
In other business, the group
indorsed the "Evanswood plan,
Ia suggestion of the Evanswood
Citizens Association for erection
of a community center of the
Silver Spring Armory lot.
No stand was taken, however
concerning current litigation be-
tween the Montgomery County
Council and the Maryland-Na-
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission over ownership of the
lot.
If the lot is determined to be
the property Of the planning COM
mission, the commission plans to
sell it for commercial develop
ment.
The next meeting of the organi-
zation will be a legislative meet
ing to discuss recommendations
to be made to the next session
of the General Assembly. The
meeting will be held December
in the Suburban Trust Co. Build
ing at Piney Branch road and
Flower avenue.
At that time a resolution will
be presented urging the County
Council to reduce taxes in view
of the recent reassessment in some
areas.
Information Sought.
Last night, the subject was
brought up in resolutions present
ed by the Hills of North Sligo
Civic Association. One resolution
urged the civic group to help oh.
tain information on the formula
used in the re-assessment.
The other resolution said the
increase in the Hills of North
Sligo area averaged so per cent
and that this amount would be
an unreasonable burnden unless
the county tax rate is sharply re-
duced. The County Council, be-
fore determining the 1884
budget, should consider resorting
to long-term borrowing and tap
lping new sources Of revenue, the
report said.
The two resolutions will be stud
led by the groups Tax and Fl.
nance Committee and a recon.
mendation will be made at the De.
cember 8 meeting.
The group will have a perma.
nent headquarters at 8504 Dixor
