Policeman SEXES 7 Men
On Suspicion, Finds Guns

A No. 13 Precinct private, who
became suspicious when he saw
two men peering intently into
stores on his beat, accosted them
last night and found each carry
ing loaded .32-caliber automaticS
in shoulder holsters.
Pvt. Jack Meyers, IS, who has
been patroling the same beat

the men for more than an hour.
Then he got into a cab operated
by Eugene Land, As, of 613 Mary
land avenue and parked in the

When the men approached the
taxicab, Pvt. Meyers drew his
pistol and stepped out. One of
the men made a move with his
right hand, but dropped his arm
after an order from Pvt. Meyers.
Police said that in addition to
the pistols taken from the men,
one of them yielded a SWITCH

! Set for Aug. 81 at
Comp Simms Houses

The Camp SimmS Houses,
Fifteenth street and Alabama
avenue Sc. housing 284 Negro
veterans and their families, are
about to be removed.
This was announced today by
the National Capital Housing
Authority. following a meeting
of it's board. Any families re-
naming in the property on Aug
ust 81 will be served with 30
day notices to vacate, according
to James Ring, acting executive
director of NCHA. He said the
tenants already have been noti-
fled, so they can begin to look
for other homes.
Heavy Expense Seen.
Keeping the Camp Simms
Houses longer would mean heavy
expenses for major repairs. as
well as high maintenance costs,
Mr.. Ring announced.
These converted barracks are
located on part of the District
National Guard reservation.
NCHA manages the property for
the District Commissioners. The
city fathers already have been
notified of the action, Mr.. Ring
declared. The notice to tenants
said:
1.-THE authority realizes that a
housing shortage exists in the
District of Columbia, especially
for families of low income. Every
effort will be made to assist you
as much as possible in locating
other housing. The authority,
of course, cannot undertake to
re-house all Camp Simms ten
ants in other properties under
its management.
Eligibility Explained.
"Only those families of low
income who qualify within the
income limits for admission to
permanent low-rent housing,
and who have otherwise salts
factorily met the obligations re-
quired by their leases, will be
eligible for admission to other
authority housing. OF course.
the authority can offer families
in this category dwellings in
these properties only as vacan-
cies occur in units of proper
size"
The authority now manages
three other barracks properties,
totaling $40 dwelling units. They
are the Overlook Avenue Houses,
at Overlook avenue and Chesa-
peake street S.W.;; the Portland

Fare Increase for
Montgomery Buses
BY The Assoeiased 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 SIS 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
crcAses 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
1894 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 q new
weekly 10-ride Communication
book, offering a IS per cent dis
count from the cash fare and
resulting in not more than SIS
per cent increase over present
charges.
$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.
If the cash fare increase is
finally approved. the zone l
charge would rise from 90 cents
to 30 cents and the zone 7
charge from so cents to so cents.

Close Consideration
Of Disputed Route

By Sfuff Correspondent Of The Sscs
ANNAPOLIS, Feb. 20.-Tho
State Roads Commission is stick
ing by its proposal for a modern
high-speed parkway through the
Chevy Chase area.
Gov. McKeldin, however, after
a conference here yesterday with
residents of the area, highway
officials, Representative Hyde,
Republican. of Maryland and
State Senator Anders r. Loe-
strand, jr.. promised to give the
plan thorough consideration"
tits more than can digest in
one late afternoon conference"
he said.
Yesterdays conference brought
renewed charges that the Roads
Commission was participating
with District highway officials in
a plot to force the opening Of
Rock Greek Park as a main
artery into downtown Washing
ton. a
More Details Revealed.
The Roads Commission yester-
day revealed:
/. The proposed route - the
southeast leg of Route 240-does
not call for the highway to cross
Jones Bridge road and Con.
necticut avenue via overpasses.
On the contrary, it will 60 under
both roads.
2. Only one house lies in the
path of the right-of- way.
3. The proposed route will cost
the commission nearly $1.9 mil
lion less than the original route
farther north.
Leading the opposition to the
proposed alternate B" plan
were former Senator Gerald p.
Nye. Frederick Stopleman and
w. S. Farr, both of the Chevy
Chase Land Co.; j. B. Hartsant,
jr., and Representative Hyde.
After the conference Mr.. Hyde
said he did not think the Roads
Commission proposal was the
best thing that can be done
for the community. He said it
would be disastrous" to prop
erty owners"
Senator Nye and Mr.. Hyde
both said they feared political
repercussions in the staunch Re-
publican area if the Roads Com
mission goes through with its
plan.
Senator Nye also promised a
battle in the District to block
construction of a giant high.
way" through Rock Creek Park.
+ Proposals Defended.
Wilson T. Ballard and Joseph
H. Knoerle. engineer consultants
who came up with the route
plan, stoutly defended their pro-
poSals.
Mr.. Knoerle, said the route
was nearly. 6 mile shorter than
the northern alternate, a plan
that would have followed Rock
Creek. He added the gasoline
saving to motorists would justify
spending So million more for
purchase of the right of way.
"The fact is however," he said.
I'VE can purchase the alter
nate B right of way for about
$4,000 less than the northern
right Of way"
The cost of the roads con-
struction would be about SIS
million.
The two consultants freely adj
mitted that a major road eventu-
ally will go down the west side
Of Rock Greek Park. They de.
MED, however. the Roads Com
mission was attempting to force
such construction.
The road section under pro-
test would extend from Wiscon-
sin avenue and Grosvenor lane
southeasterly under Jones Bridge
roao, Connecticut avenue and
across the B. g. o. Railroad
tracks and Jones Mill road via
an overpass. 1t would meet East
West highway near Beach drive.

Neelsville Presbyterian Church,

knoll beside Route 240 about S
miles from Gaithersburg, Md.
The white frame church, built
in the 1870s. has group of
shade trees beside it as partial
frame. There is a peacefulness
in the rustic picture that makes
1t hard to realize the busy Ma
tion's Capital is only about 20
miles away. Only the unceasing
flow Of auto traffic on the con-
crete road before it recalls our
present century. Otherwise, a
visitor might we'll think he was
back in the period when the
structure was put up.
Country churches have played
an important role in our Nations
history. They have furnished
many Of our leaders and have
nurtured others. It might be a
good idea for a member of a big
city congregation to Worship
some Sunday in one of the many
small churches near WASHINGTON.
Remark Of the week-A COM
missioner at the Presbytery
meeting told the gathering a
taxi driver in Minneapolis had
complained to him. "The Presby-
ter1ans came to town with the
len commandments in one hand
and a Bible in the other. They
