Hunt Beating Suspect
BY the Associated Press

ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 2O.-An-
napolis police said today they
are looking for a man in connec-
tion with the assault on a garage
owner in his home Tuesday
night.
Anne Arundel General Hos
pital reported the victim, Steve
Foundas, was holding his own. y
He was admitted in a serious
condition after he was found
near his bedroom door in a pool
of blood.
1t. Walter Musterman dis
closed that $3.50 was taken from
Mr.. Foundas' wallet at the time
of the assault, but he refused to
call robbery the motive for the
beating.
Someone broke into Mr.. Foun-
daS' garage over the week end,
police said, and stole $25. On
Monday night, clothing and a
pistol were stolen from his house.
A few hours before the attack
Mr.. Foundas had all the locks on
his doors and windows changed.
Police said he was set upon by
some one who had been waiting
for him in the bedroom.
Unable to see after the attack,
police said. Mr.. Foundas dialed
his telephone blindly and was
connected with the home Of r.
E. Chase. who called police.

The problem is one of get

we in Montgomery County may
conduct our affairs and may run
the county's business through
our duly elected officials without
the interference Of a Governor

MRS. Charles L. williams, jr.,

signature.

quested this law to help him
prevent witnesses from chang
ing their. testimony when they
appear in actual court.
3. That tax sales be held at
the court house in Upper Marl-
boro. The present law reads
that such sales shall be held at
the court house door. That has
led to confusion, sponsors said,
since the court house now has
six doors.

The House, meanwhile, passed
! Six Prince Georges bills and sent
them -to5 the Senate.
One Of these is the bill to
provide a fine Of not more than

80 days for knowingly giving a
false report to police.
Another would set up rigid

ice Examiner Urges
Fare Increase for
Montgomery Buses
BY the Asseeiatsd Press

An Interstate Commerce Com
mission examiner recommended
today that Montgomery Bus
Lines. operating between Wash
ington and Rockville. Md, be
granted fare increases ranging
up to 52.5 per cent.
The company, a subsidiary of
the Capital Transit Co., pro-
posed late last year to increase
its cash fares on a sliding scale
ranging from 20 per cent to so
per cent.
In addition, it sought to cancel
the present 12-ride weekly COM
mutation ticket sold at prices
ranging from $1.85 to $2.95, de-
pending on the zones in which
they are used.
Company Needs Revenue.
Examiner Thomas F. Kilroy
said the proposed cash fare in
creases are clearly justified be-
cause the company needs addi-
tional revenue.
He said, however, the plan to
cancel the weekly tickets would
mean an increase ranging up to
1884 per cent for some riders.
He recommended that if the
ICC approved cancellation of the
12-ride ticket, it should require
the company to establish a new
weekly 10-ride commutation
book, Offering a rs per cent dis
count from the cash fare and
resulting in not more than 52.5
per cent increase over present
charges. fhst a#9 st%s.
$3.50 Instead Of $2.95.
This extreme increase would
apply to rides between Washing-
ton and Rockville, with the
weekly charge fixed at $3.50 in
stead Of the present $2.95. The
weekly book between Washing
ton and the first zone would be
1925.
II the cash fare increase is
finally approved, the zone l
charge would rise from 20 cents
to 80 cents and the zone Z
charge from so cents to go cents.

Municipal Group
Backs Home Rule foI
Towns in County

Legislation now before the
Maryland General Assembly
which would enable municipal
tiles to enact home rule and set
and enforce speed and weight
limits on town roads, was in
dorsed by the Prince Georges
Municipal Association last night.
Authority for towns to adopt
home rule following public ap-
proval by a referendum is con-
tanned in a Senate bill which was
approved by the Senate judiciary
Committee yesterday. The State
Legislature would retain financial
control. -.@
The Montgomery County
Chapter of the Maryland Num-
cipal League Endorsed the pro-
posal Wednesday night, accord
ing to Ed johnson, executive
secretary of the league. Mr..
johnson said the legislation
would not be effective before
1855. since it would have to go
before the voters in the 1854
elections.
Bill Exempts State Roads.
A proposal to allow municipal
tiles to regulate speed and weight
limits on their roads is con-
tanned in a House bill. Under
this provision State roads pass
ing through municipalities would
remain under State jurisdiction.
The bill also would direct fines
collected for violations on NUM-
cipal roads to the respective
municipal treasures. There
would be no change in court
procedures. The State now
speed and weight limits
on all roads and receives fines
collected for their violation.
The bill. it was reported would
permit towns to reduce speed
limits in school areas-a job
now under State direction.
Chief Richards Questioned.
In other business. Mayor Ross
Beville of Takoma Park ques-
toned County Police Chief F.
Allen Richards policy of assign
ing men to patrol certain areas
more than others.
The mayor said many NUM-
cipalitjes, through taxes, support
a town police force and contrib
ute to the county force. Yet, he
added, areas with local police
forces usually are neglected by
county patrolmen.
County Commissioner Thomas
Latimer and Chief Richards ex-
planned that a personnel short
age forces the department
largely to limit it's patrol activi-
ties to areas without other police
protection.
Wants Funds Returned.
Mr.. Beville said he would like
to have county police funds
derived from municipal taxes re-
turned to those municipalities
that maintain their own police
departments. The proposal pre-
viously has been before the
Prince Georges County Com
missioners, without success, but
Mr.. Beville said he will continue
to plead its enactment.
Mrs. Clyde Everson, chairman
Of the Prince Georges County
Recreation Committee, asked
representatives and their munich
palities to support a $74,733
budget request for recreational
activities in the county. The re-
quest is being considered by the
county commissioners today.

Building Lags
Falls Church Bourd
Sees Danger to City's
Educational System

Future construction Of apart
ment projects in Falls Church
is opposed by the city School
Board unless adequate school
facilities are built at the same
time.
The board approved this pol
icy at its meeting last night,
after rejecting a suggestion that
it go on record as opposing any
more multiple housing develop
ment.
The City Council has before it
two proposed rezonings to per-
init construction of apartments.
Hearing Tuesday.
The council will hold a public
hearing on rezoning of Is acres
along West and Parker streets,
near West Broad street at 8p.m.
Tuesday.
The second Request for apart
ment zoning will be heard by
the council at 8 pm. March 8.
Both hearings will be held in
the City Hall.
Seventeen acres Of property
now zoned residential will be
developed for apartments if the
application to be heard on March
8 is granted. This land is ada
cent to Tyler Gardens Apart
mentS near Fairfax street.
Board Member Oliver j. Cald-
well said that, if the multiple
housing applications were grant
ed, ut would ruin all the prog
ress we've made in building an
independent school system in
this city"
No Financing Suggested.
The board refrained from sug-
costing who should pay for
schools required by construction
OF new apartments.
Board Member Richard L.
Saintsing said, however, that the
council, in considering an apart
ment rezoning request, could
sit back and shake it's head until
a developer proposed an ade-
quate donation for schools"
In another resolution adj
dressed to the council, the board
asked that it's opinion be solicited
on any multiple housing recon-
ing applications received by the
council.
Mr.. Saintsing reported that
negotiations with Fairfax Coun-
ty on acquisition of Oak Street
School by the citywill be delayed
until the county School Boards
construction program is further
along.
