just south of Gaithersburg and
the other would be on Route 124
on the west side of the town.
Mayor Perry and Mr.. Davies

plan bigger facilities.
Growth Held Up.
Nothing has been DONE" Mr..
Davies said. He added, "The town
can't grow if it can't dispose of
more sewage"
Harry B. Shaw, chief engineer
of the commission, says work has
been done on the towns recon-
mendation but there are several
obstacles.
Among them, he said, are that
the town is on ridge; nearby
streams that could be used for
discharge purposes are small; the
entire sanitary district is a big,
expanding area, and a suitable
plan for the town would be very
costly.

Invitation to Crime
By Miriam Gutenberg

A group of Federal judges to-
day agreed that a criminal who
commits a series of crimes should
be indicted in enough cases 70
assure adequate sentences.
Several of them strongly
backed the view that professional
criminals charged with a num-
Der of cases should be prose-
cuted in every provable case as
a deterrent to crime in general
and a warning to other under
world operators.
Some judges, however, eau
toned against crowding the
dockets with a large number OF
cases against one defendant,
when the prosecutor is satisfied
tnat a smaller number of cases
will assure an adequate sentence
The comments were made by
eight judges of the U. S. District
Court for the District of Co.
lumbia. who have sat in a num-
Der of criminal cases. Among
them were judges with a repu-
tation for stiff sentences and
judges with a reputation for
being more lenient.
How Cases Disappear.
The Star made the poll of jul
dicial opinion after a survey of
police and court records showed
that criminals accused of up to
100 different offenses are being
punished for only a fraction of
them.
The survey showed a pattern
of cutting down the number of
cases. It was shown that police
may suspect an accused of many
crimes but present only those
they believe can be proved in
court. The provable cases
even if they run to so or 100
then are cut down to three or
four by an Assistant United
States Attorney, who present
them to the grand jury. The as
sistant prosecutor assigned to
try the cases, it was shown, may
dismiss two of the remaining
four in exchange for a guilty
plea, and the sentencing Judge
frequently makes the ultimate
elimination by giving the pris-
oner concurrent sentences on
the two remaining cases.
Several of the judges polled
expressed surprise at the process
OF elimination.
Nearly all of them said that.
in passing sentence, they could
not consider ofenses of which
a defendant had been accused
by police but for which he had
not been indicted. They pointed
out that they must consider a
man not guilty until he has adj
mitted his guilt or been con-
victed.
Prosecutors Theory.
One of the arguments used
by prosecutors in cutting down
the number Of cases against a
defendant has been that the
judges consider all the charges
not just the ones on which
the man has been convicted.
One or two judges said they
considered a pattern of crime,
but most of them said they
limited themselves to the actual
convictions in passing sentence.
Everybody agrees that a man
who has committed a number
of offenses should be given an
adequate sentence" said Chief
Judge Laws. "If a small num-
Der of indictments is adequate
tn assure an ADEQUATE sentence.

Alexandra MANAGER
Declares Detention Of
Bows Was Justified

Alexandria City Manager Ira
F. Willard has investigated
charges that two Maryland
youths were held illegally by po-
lice for IS hours without being
allowed to use a telephone and
is satisfied that the detention
was justified.
The young men, Donald A.
Alexander, Is, of 4O11 Sixty
third street, Brookmont, Md,
and Paul Jackson Carey, 20. of
4939 Cordell avenue, Bethesda,
were arrested at II pm. Tues
day at a used car lot. They were
held in jail until 2 pm. the
next day before being released.
No charges were placed against
them. >2aa ...
Suspicious Aroused.
Mr.. Willard said that suspi-
cious circumstances surrounding
the boys presence in the closed
used car lot gave police good
reason for questioning them.
He said his investigation re-
vealed that the boys asked three
times to be allowed to commune
cate with their families but theft
requests could not be granted by
uniformed police. since official
policy requires the sanction of
the detective bureau.
The manager said it was un-
fortunate that the two detectives
on duty at the time of the ar
rest were working on a serious
robbery case until we'll after
midnight and were unable to
see the two youths.
Detective in Court.
A detective was assigned at 9
am. Wednesday to interview
them, but because he had to
appear in court, he was unable
to see them before l pm.
Mr." Willard said the policy of
requiring clearance by the detec-
tive bureau before telephone
calls may be made is designed to
prevent suspects from leopard
izing investigations.

3 Delegates Protest
As House Votes Extra
Scholarship Awards
BY a Staff Correspondent Of The Stor

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 17.-Mary-
land Delegates last night voted
to give themselves an additional
scholarship to award at the Uni
versity of Maryland, over the
stout protests of 80 members.
The bill, which increases
from one to two the number of
scholarships each of the 1913
Delegates may award every four
years, almost sneaked by with
out an objection. When it was
called for final passage, it passed
90 to II.
Reconsideration Asked.
But a few bills later Delegate
Jerome Robinson, Democrat, of
Baltimore City, talked a COL
league into moving for reconsid-
Grafton, and then he took the
floor to urge the House to read
the bill more carefully.
Delegate A. Gordon Boone,
Democrat, of Baltimore County
stood up to charge that the move
was nothing but logrolling. And
Delegate Leroy Humphrey. Dem
ocrat, of Prince Georges County
protested that scholarships
shouldn't be awarded ION a
political basis"
For Tuition Only.
Delegate Kerry o. Wilkinson,
Democrat, of Prince Georges
and chairman Of the House
Education Committee, said he
had checked with university
authorities and that they found
the bill to ther liking. He said
the scholarships would cover
tuition only-a matter of SITS
per student, per year-which
would mean a total increase in
cost to the State of $21,525 a
year.
In the free-for-all, the oppo-
nents picked up a few votes, but
not nearly enough. The move to
reconsider the first vote failed,
70 to 80.
The bill now goes to the Senate.

Strong Protest Voiced
To Turnpike Project
Al Richmond HEARING
By the Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va, Mar. lit
was apparent today that a pri-
vate firm which wants to build
a north-South toll highway
across Virginia has a formidable
fight on it's hands.
It was taken for granted that
the Virginia Interstate Turnpike
Corp. would face opposition in
it's plan to build the 5000 million
superhighway.
But there were few who fore
saw the mass protest that re-
suited at a hearing held here
yesterday by a legislative study
commission which is trying to
establish a State policy on toll
roads.
Only one person spoke in be-
half Of the turnpike plan. He
was John j. Wicker, jr., the
Richmond lawyer who is preSi-
dent of the turnpike firm.
Private Project Denounced.
A host of speakers denounced
the proposed project. Most OF
them took this stand:
They aren't fatty opposed to
toll highways but they are OPP
posed to private firms building
them.
If the State Highway Depart
ment will build them, that may
be all right.
Before Mr.. Wicker's firm can
build the turnpike it must obtain
approval of the Highway Depart
ment-which may not be done
easily in view of the outspoken
opposition.
Even before the hearing, Ger
tain highway officials had ex-
pressed misgivings about the
turnpike plan.
The State Chamber of Com
merce, the Automobile Club of
Virginia and tourist groups led
the opposition.
Warm Clash EruptS.
At one point Mr.. Wicker and
C. O'Conor Goolrick, Fredericks-
burg attorney who is represent
ing a four-county opposition
group in Northern Virginia,
exchanged words when Mr.. Cool
rick said:
II can't imagine that Mr..
Wicker has become so patriotic
that he has organized this cor
poration and offered to head it
without some expectation of re-
Enumeration"
Mr.. Wicker shouted that Mr..
Goodrich had questioned his in
tegrity. Mr.. Goodrich denied
this. Later the two shook hands.
Highway Commissioner James
Anderson said Virginia's gasoline
tax would have to be raised 2
cents a gallon if the State is to
provide additional adequate
highway construction and main
tain present roads. The tax is 6
cents now.
He added that Virginia's roads
are in need of some $40 million
worth of improvements.
Much of the opposition to the
north-south turnpike comes from
business firms along United
States Routes l and 301. Own
ers say the new highway would
take away much of their trade.

FLA. Boys Have
Chicken Roast

The Future Farmers of America
Chapter of Madison Rural High
School held a chicken roast last
week in the farm shop room of the
vocational agriculture department.
The boys started raising the
chickens for the roast in March.
Half of the members took home
one chicken on the day before the
dinner and their mothers prepared
them. On the night of the roast
they were placed on the table and
it was each man for himself. The
fastest man didn't win this case.
however, as there was plenty of
chicken for all with a good supply
of potato chips, bread and butter,
baked beans, and ice cream to go
with it.
When it was time to go home
the general concensus seemed to
be why don't we do this more
often.
