Judge Challenges
Takoma Park on
Housing Inspection

The Chief Judge of Montgom-
cry County's Orphans Court
today declared he will not COM
ply with the registration re-
quirement of Takoma Parks
controversial housing inspection
ordinance.
Judge Millward c. Taft, who
also is general counsel for the
General Conference of Seventh
day Adventists. said he will not
register Takoma Park rental
units he owns. The deadline for
registration is 9 pm. tomorrow.
He will not register, Judge
Taft said, because the law per-
mits inspection of premises by a
governmental agent without a
warrant. Such entry, he said,
is opposed to basic tenet of
the Constitution.
Cites Old Law.
He added that a 1929 Mary
land law relating to the admissa-
bility of evidence in a INSIDE
meanor case, in his opinion, voids
the ordinance.
"As far as I am concerned,
Judge Taft said. sit will go to the
courts. If the courts say that
must comply with the ordinance
I will"
He stated that he does not
defy" the Mayor and council OF
Takoma Park, but that he chal-

.EStreet Bridge
Spans Consistency
With Island Is
New Question

District Corporation Counsel
Vernon E. West has ruled that
there is no legal barrier to con-
structing the proposed E street
bridge across Theodore Roosevelt
Island.
Engineer Commissioner Louis
w. Prentiss revealed last night
that MIR. Vests opinion is in the
hands of the District Commits
sioners He added:
Nov the question is if the
use Of the island for a bridge
would be consistent or inconsis-
tent with the purpose for which
the island was dedicated"
Opinion Due This Week.
Commissioner Samuel Spencer,
a lawyer by profession, is study
ing Mr.. Vests opinion. The
Commissioners are waiting for
him to complete his study before
taking final action. This might
be today but more probably be-
fore the week is over.
The controversy over the loca-
ton of a new span across the
Potomac River has ragged for
months. The Commissioners and
the District Highway Department
favor the E street location,
which would put the bridge over
one end of the island.
The National Capital Planning
Commission has refused to in
dorse the E street site, stating
only that centrally located
bridge should be studied further.
The Northern Virginia Regional
Planning Commission has OPP
posed the bridge.
Bridge Plans Protested.
The island in the middle of
the Potomac River was given to
the Federal Government in 1882
for development as a wild-life
sanctuary and memorial to The
odore Roosevelt. The Roosevelt
Memorial Association fatty op-
poses having the bridge cut
over one end of the island.
Recently Maj. Gen. U. S.
Grant, III, and Mai. Gen. Frank
R. Mccoy, both representing the
association, and Conrad L.
Wirth. head of the Interior De-
partment's National Park Serv-
ice, appeared before the Com
missioners to protest the plan.
They said it was both illegal
and immoral.
The city heads then ordered
restudy. They conducted a
traffic count on the Potomac
River Bridges and asked MIR.
West for a legal opinion.
City Traffic Study.
The traffic count showed that
Sc per cent of the morning rush
hour traffic using the Potomac
River crossing is destined for
the central business district.
Gen. Prentiss said these findings
underscored the contention that
the most urgent need for a new
bridge was at some central To-
cation like E street.
Mr.. Vests opinion said the
bridge across the island would
not be illegal if the use for
which the island was intended is
not destroyed.
Gen. Prentiss said that as
soon as the Commissioners make
their final recommendations on
the new bridge, a report will be
sent to the House District Com
mittee.
This report will give the back
ground of the controversy, the
facts produced by various studies
and the recommendations. Such
a report is required by a House
resolution passed last year.
1t means the controversy will
be settled in Congress where
most of the past fights over
bridge locations have been set
tied finally.

Putting Faith in Writers
Pays off for Producer Coe
By Harry Macarthur

Producer Fred Goes belief
that a television drama begins
when a man sits down to stare
gloomily at typewriter-not
when a producer signs a star
continues to pay off. This week,
by way of ''Television Playhouse
(WNBW - Sunday, p.m.), it
gave viewers a most rewarding
hour in Paddy Chayefsky's THE
Bachelor Party"
Author Chayefsky, Producer
Coe and Director Delbert Mann
did have large assist, it is true,
from Eddie Albert, playing the
leading role. Mr.. Albert is at
least one actor who has taken
on distinction in television and
he gives it some in return. He
has been allowed to show more
versatility than in any other
medium and he has turned out
to be exceptionally talented.
Few players can strike the
exact note of averageness in por-
traying the average man, becom-
ing either too drab or allowing
too much non-average stage per-
sonality to show through. Mr..
Albert can do it. though, to per-
fection, as he demonstrated
recently in 1894" on Studio
One" and again this past Sun
day on "Television Playhouse.
X \ y
It was Mr.. Chayefsky, of
course, who wrote the role for
Mr.. Albert to play and put the
right words in his mouth in
THE Bachelor Party" While he
was about it he turned out a
most affecting television play
and one that will bear repeat
ing some day.
THE Bachelor Party" is thin
in plot, but an excellent example
of what is known in The writing
trade as making a lot of bricks
with very little straw. 1t might
we'll be taken by would-be TV
writer's, as a matter of fact. as
an example of what can be done
with scarcely more than an in
cident.
1t is the story of a bookkeeper
depressed by the thought of
unending days in the same drab
job. He sees himself irrevocably
saddled to it when his wife be-
comes pregnant. Then he at
tends a pitiful bachelor dinner
for an Office friend and finds
himself called on to bolster the

r II \
This bare summary probably
is as great a disService as any
one ever will perform for one
of Mr.. Chayefsky's plays. 1.-The
Bachelor Party" may be thin in
essence but it is beautifully writ
ten, adults drama. On Sunday
it did what television too rarely
does-it put its hour to re-
warding use rather than merely
occupying it.
This, to be sure, has become
the rule rather than the excep-
ton with ''Television Playhouse"
a happy fact which can be
traced directly to Producer Goes
belief that first things come first.
In a play-on stage, screen,
radio or television-the first
thing is the story.
When this particular program
slipped a few seasons back the
producer was the first to realize
it and to realize what was
wrong. Horton Foote, another of
its writer's, revealed over lunch
at the Algonquin in New York
the other day. A television
dramatic show needs, Coe knew
then, plays written for tele-
vision.
Further, Coe said recently,
"TV has got to make the writer
the top man on the totem pole
both artistically and financially.
Literally millions of dollars
are being channeled into tele-
vision improperly" he went on.
'The people in charge think
nothing Of going out and buying
some broken-down comic for
$4,000 or $4,000 a week-and
then being stuck with him. But
at the same time, a fine writer
kills himself six weeks to turn
out fine play for $1,200-if he's
lucky.
IF television is ever to become
an art form rather than a home
for broken-down names, if
there's ever to be good writing
in television, then the medium
must give the writer dignity and
authority-and pay him we'll"
X X X
This thinking-and the belief
that good authors are creators,
not rewrite men"-has led Coe
into signing pacts with Chayef-
sky. Foote, Robert Alan Aurthur
and Tad MoSel. Each is COM
mitted for a certain number of
originals each season for "Tele-
vision Playhouse"
Mr.. Foote undoubtedly has a
number of Washington friends
who will be happy with the sue
ceSsful turn his writing career
is taking. He taught drama here
for several years and reports
with satisfaction that many of
his old pupils seem to be doing
well. He can place the dates of
his local residence with the sort
of logic which somehow seems
more typical of writer's than of
any other group.
II arrived in Washington
broke with a brand-new wife
and I've been married eight
years. That would be 1945. My
wife was pregnant when we left
and our child is 31a years old.
1t must have been 1949.
Right now Mr.. Foote is en-
gagged in the business of becom-
ing a Broadway playwright by
way Of "A Trip to Bountiful, /"
which first was done on "Tele-
vision Playhouse" last March /.
The expanded version, with Coe
making his bow as a Broadway
producer, will open in New York
on November 8.
If you'd like to know what a
playwright does while his work
Is being staged. this one turned
to writing another TV play. Mr..
Foote explains with more irrefut-
able logic:
Wed made all the changes
We could make and if hang
around the theater it makes the
actors nervous. And sometimes
the actors make the author
nervous"
