ries out threat to cut off public
services. the administration will
provide them and will charge
the cost to the city.
Public Housing still owns II
apartment buildings, contain
ing 306 dwelling units, in Green

authorities last week that unless
more money is forthcoming from
the Government in lieu of taxes,

wired the council in part:
"If your City Council discon-
tinues any normal public service
and the Government is. forced
to provide it, the cost thereof
will be deducted from any pay
ment it subsequently would be
willing to make"
Meanwhile, police and fire pro-
lection and other services are
being continued while the two
sides negotiate.
In other action the council
passed a resolution authorizing
the city treasurer to accept ad-
vanced monthly payments from
the Greenbelt Veterans Housing

j. Lastner as the city's largest
taxpayer. to relieve what officials
called the financial strain i'm
posed on the community since

for delegate in Arlington, believes

should meet every year.
The present method of approv-
ing a State budget every two
years, Mr.. Mann said in a speech
last night, results in "the ridic-
ulous situation where funds re-
ceived by the State as result
of over-taxation must be rebated
to the citizen"
The candidate spoke at a meet

Association. He is seeking the

Today they are back in their
Fairfax home with their five
children.
The three boys and two girls
are German youngsters whom
the couple adopted within the
last 10 months.
The boys are John, II, and his
twin brothers, Ray and Jay, 4.
The girls are Mary, g., and
Shiela, 4.
It was no accident that the
Kalepps went into the adoption
business on a large scale, said
Mr.. Kalepp, who received his
honorable discharge yesterday at
Boiling Field. @
Both From Large Families.
"We are both from large fami-
lies. and we have always wanted
children" he explained. I'VE
seriously considered adoption for
a long time. and now we have
our family. Are we happy?
You're cockeyed right"
The couple had a big family
in mind when they built their
white four-bedroom home on
Horseshoe drive, near Tyson's S
Corner, in 1888.
Mr.. Kalepp owns the nearby
Tyson'S Corner Service Station,
which he has leased out during
his military service. During

The couples parental ardor is

HyattsyiNe Council
Adopts Safety Plan
For Rail Crossinq

Safety traffic measures for the
Melrose railroad crossing in
Hyattsville. Md, were unani-
mously indorsed last night by
the city council.
The measures were proposed
by Councilman Harry Styne,
chairma nof the Safety Commit
tee. and were based on consulta-
tions of his committee and Of
f1cials Of the Baltimore g. Ohio
Railroad late last month. They
are:
l. Motorists driving east across
the tracks toward Baltimore
boulevard will not be allowed to
turn left onto Railroad avenue.
2. A triangular safety island
on the west side of the tracks
will be reduced so it will not be
more than 3 feet wide in any
part.
CurbS on Parking.
3. Safety lines will be painted
en- all streets at the intersection.
4. A fence along the tracks
north of the intersection will be
extended to the crossing, thus
eliminating all parking along
the tracks on Railroad avenue.
S. A railroad warning sign
purchased by the B8O will be
installed by the city between
Crittenden street and Baltimore
boulevard, 400 feet from the
crossing.
6. Two traffic lights will be
placed on the east side of the
crossing.
Scene of Accidents.
The Melrose crossing has been
the site of serious accidents in
the past, the latest occurring
last month.
In other business, the council
approved the transfer of $4,000
from the parking meter fund to
the parking lot fund and the
establishment of a parking lot
committee. The money will be
used by the city to operate
400-car parking lot just off Bal
timore boulevard south of the
armory.
Councilmen also recommended

ANNAPOLIS. April IA bill
proposing a constitutional
amendment to permit new Cir
cult Court judges in Montgom-
cry, Prince Georges and four
other counties was revived and
enacted in the final hours Of the
General Assembly early today.
The bill had been voted down
in the House Saturday when
Eastern Shore Delegates, who
charged it would "put a Judge
behind every bush on the Eastern
Shore" prevented enough votes
for the necessary constitutional
majority.
Yesterday, however, the East
ern Shore bloc sponsored an
amendment exempting the three
shore counties which would have
had to hire new judge and the
bill was approved. The three
counties deleted from the bill
were Talbot. Kent and Wor-
ceSter.
Counties besides Montgomery
and Prince Georges which would
be able to name new Judges un-
der the act are Anne Arundel,
Garrett, st. Marys and Balti-
more. The st. Marys and Prince
Georges judges would make a
total of five jurists in the seventh
judicial circuit. which also COW

proved by the voters at the polls
