Prince Georges Vote,
To Add Z Women
To Police Force

The Prince Georges govern
ment yesterday approved a plan
to add IL women to it's law en-
forcement corps. The three to-
one tally was taken at Upper
Marlboro after a round of keen
debate.
Commissioners Thomas E..
Latimer, Daniel A. Abbott and
w Everett Marion supported
the proposal. Commissioner Ed
ward j. Waters shouted an en-
phatic mo" and Mrs. H. Wilson
Spicknall was recorded as not
voting.
Ten Of the women will serve
as clerks and matrons and two
as clerk-typists, relieving an
equal number of men for gen.
eral police work.
Civilian Status.
Maj. F. Allen Richards Of
fered the plan as a means of
providing more, protection at
school crossings and elsewhere.
The feminine contingent will
begin duty when the new CEN
tral police station in Seat Plea
SAINT is opened, probably in No
vember Three will be stationed
there. the others in Hyattsville
and Upper Marlboro.
All will have civilian status
but will be subject to the de-
partment's rules. Their salaries
have not been fixed and no de-
cision has been reached as to
whether they will wear uni
forms. Appointment of the IL
will bring the county force to
a total Of lit.
Commissioner Waters, a con-
sistent opponent of skirted po-
lice officers, vigorously objected
to the plan.
Civic Leaders for Plan.
IN my eyes. women are on
pedestals," he said. "this would
lower department morale be-
cause ladies are controversial -
But Major Richards had elo-
quent hackers, among them Wal
ter F. Mulligan, president of the
county Civic Federation, Mrs
Irna Bogdanoff, chairman OF
the units local affairs COM
mittee, and two other civic lead
ers, Mrs. Brendan ODwyer ano
Mrs. Irwin Lavine.

water-line right of way over the
corner of the tract, now owned
by private corporation.
Around midnight, after valves
have stopped the water flow on
either side of the relocation site,
weight of several thousand
pounds will be dropped on the
main. Static pressure of 95 to
100 pounds per square inch will
be released in the "break-out"
and the water inside the big pipe
will roar skyward.
Then, highly trained crews will
cut the water main in two places
and fit in the new length. Turns
in the pipe at the new joints will
require immediate application OF
rapid setting cement, to which
calcium chloride will be added,
reinforcing the angles.

Court Ruling Awaited
In Traffic Arrest by
0f-Duty Policeman

A Prince Georges County
court is expected to rule next
Friday on the legality Of traffic
arrests made by policemen in
plain clothes and riding in pri-
vate cars.
Judge Nita S. Hinman Crane
took the controversial question
under study in Upper Marlboro
police court yesterday at the re-
quest of John S. White, a Hyatts-
vile attorney, and Charles
c. Collins, counsel for the
American Automobile Associa-
ton.
Mr.. White, former Speaker of
the Maryland House of Dele
gates, lashed that sneaky busi-
ness" as ''pure entrapment and
contrary to the principles on
which this State was founded" "
FearS HOIdup Reese.
The practice presents serious
hazards to the motoring public,
Mr.. Collins contended because
drivers cannot readily deter
mine whether they are accosted
by accredited officers or mas
queradising brigands."
"Such impersonations have
occurred" he told the court.
please remember you can buy
a badge at a ten-cent store"
Mr.. White appeared as coun-
sci for Eugene Frye, a District
businessman arrested by Pvt.
York Flynn. an off-duty county
officer in civilian clothes out
for a drive with his family in
his own unmarked car.
Mr.. Collins told Judge Crane
that the AAA was less interested
in the defendant than in its
belief that such arrests are lille
gal.
Mr.. Frye, a 53-year-old bras
siere salesman of 1882 Aspen
street NV, was stopped June
80 at New Hampshire avenue
and Ray road. Pvt. Flynn dis
played his badge but no other
credentials.
Baked at Arrest.
At first, Mr.. Frye said, he re-
fused to submit to arrest be-
cause he was uncertain of the
officers identity. Pvt. Flynn
called for help and when T. D.
Bird, a uniformed officer, ar
rived. Mr.. Frye willingly fol-
lowed his car to the Hyattsville
police station.
He was released in $1,000
bond on charges of failure to
obey an officer, failure to show
his registration card, speeding,
passing at an intersection, weav-
ing in and out of traffic and
crossing a double white line.
Pvt. Flynn testified that the
alleged violations occurred on
New Hampshire avenue between
University lane and Ray road
Mr.. Frye denied all the accusa-

Army 10 Sell
Tract Wanted
ByA|exandria
Asks Congressional
Approval on Deal
Near Jones Point
By George Beveridoe

The Army has asked the
House and Senate Armed Serv-
ices Committees to approve its
disposition of 52-acre Potomac
River waterfront tract being
sought by the City of Alexandria.
The area, formerly used by the
Signal Corps. as a radio station,
is near Jones Point, Alexandria.
on the west bank of the Potomac
at Hunting Creek.
If the Capitol Hill groups ap-
prove disposition, the land will
be transferred to the General
Services Administration. GSA, in
turn, will offer it to other Fed
eral agencies. If none wants it,
the land could be sold as surplus
property,
Use Not Determined.
The Alexandria City Council is
on record in favor of acquiring
the site, but hasn't nailed down
a specific use for it, City officials
said one main interest is to pro-
tect approaches to the proposed
Jones Point bridge. and listed
these other possible uses": Site
of an armory, development as a
recreation area, partial use by
local National Guard units and
site for sewage disposal plant.
A GSA spokesman said claims
of city or State governments
for surplus land are not con-
sidered at the same time as
it is offered to other Federal
agencies. He said he assumed
a municipality would pay for the
land in the same manner as a
private investor.
Price Not Explored.
Alexandria officials said the
purchase price of the land is
lone point we haven't explored
very fully yet
The Armed Services Commit
tees must concur in all military
land disposition, and machinery
for handling the Jones Point
area swung into operation as
soon as the request was re-
ceived yesterday. The Army re-
quest is being circulated to men,
bers of both committees. In the
absence of opposition, fast ac-
tion is expected.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican. of Virginia. who wants
TO get the land for Alexandria
announced he would ask each
member of the House group to
expedite approval and not hold
hearings on it.
Seven Acres for Navy.
The entire tract consists of
about So acres, of which Z
acres is earmarked for transfer
to the Navy About two-thirds
of the land was reclaimed in a
1910 Potomac River dredging
operation, and the rest was ac-
quired by condemnation in 1910
at cost of $89,275. Structures
on the property were valued by
the Army at $101, 500.
The area, known officially as
the Battery Cove Military Res
ervation, was set aside for mill
tary purposes in 1910. For Sew
eral years, however, it has been
vacant and in custody of the
Corps of Engineers.

Broyhi|I, SaysG. 0.P
Planned Firings

State Senator Charles r. Fen
wick, Democrat, of Arlington
has charged that career civil
service employees are being fired
indiscriminately under the guise
of economy as a. part of a we'll
laid plan to create confusion so
Republicans can be appointed to
replace them.
In his strongest public attack
against Republican Representa-
tive Broyhill, the Arlington State
legislator asked why the 10th
Virginia District Congressman
waited until so many lost their
jobs before he became concerned.
Called Part of Plan.
"The indiscriminate' firing of
career civil service workers under
the guise of economy" Mr.. Fen
wick said, sis only a part of a
well-laid plan calculated to re-
suit in such confusion that po-
litical appointees may be taken
on.
"This has resulted in some
5000 workers in Northern Vir-
ginia, many of them career peo-
pie, having lost their jobs.
''It is interesting to note that
Congressman Broyhill has sud-
denly become greatly concerned
over these constituents. Why did
the Congressman wait until these
people have lost their jobs, a de-
lay of nearly nine months, be-
fore he proudly announces that
he has taken the matter up with
the President?
Mailed Fist Seen.
1.-THE demands of the profess
sional Republican politician for
political patronage are becoming
more and more insistent and
from now on it will be the mailed
fist instead of the velvet glove. D
Mr.. Fenwick also charged in
his statement that "the special
interest group which forms the
backbone of the Republican
Party" is attempting to sabotage
such programs as rural electrifi-
cation, public power and agricul-
tural supports"
Mr.. Fenwick conceded that
economy dictates superfuous
Government employees be dis
missed in an orderly manner, but
career employees should be pro-
tected, he said.
