Private enterprise would be
given opportunity to build a

reported.
The commission building site

Butler Works on New
Plan 10 Get Funds
For Peace Cross
By HoroId B. ROGERS

Senator Butler, Republican. of
Maryland said today he is
working on something else" in
an effort to get Federal funds to
start construction on the Peace
Cross f1ood-control project.
He declined to explain what
his new prospect was. But the
lawmaker declared he had not
given up hope, despite failure
of Marylanders to get funds into
two different appropriation bills.
Sums Refused.
r Latest rejection of the Mary
land plea for Federal money to
release funds Maryland's legiS-
lature had authorized for Peace
Cross at Bladensburg came last
night. The Senate Appropria-
tions Committee refused to in
sert sums of any size in the
pending supplemental supply bill.
It carries funds for several agen-
cies, and probably will be the
last appropriation catch-all bill
of this session.
Maryland's two Republican
Senators and Representative
Smah, whose congressional dis
trict includes Bladensburg, had
hoped for money in the supple
mental measure. Senator Butler
recently had written letters to
Budget Director Dodge and to
Chairman Bridges of the Sen
ate Appropriations Committee,
stressing the dire need of Bla-
densburg for relief from recur-
rent floods.
100000 Asked.
Earlier, the Senate had put
into the Civil Functions Appro-
priations bill 100000 to help
release the Maryland money for
the job designed by the Army
Engineers. The House previously
had refused to include any funds
for the purpose, and in House
Senate conference in the meas
ure, the Senate amendment was
stricken.
Senator Beall said last night
he favors waiting for the Federal
appropriation in the next session
of Congress rather than to begin
the job in piecemeal manner
He apparently was referring to
the decision of Maryland's Gov
McKeldin to start the State
Roads Commission work to raise
the level of roads at Peace Cross
Some opposition has been raised
in different quarters to raising
the roads.

Animation and Alexandra Seek
Lost Boundary on 4-Mi|e Run

Arlington and Alexandria are
trying to find their lost boundary
along Four Mile Run between
Shirley highway and the Potomac
River.
When the line was fixed in
1880, after the city annexed part
of the county, the boundary fol-
lowed "the meanders of Four
Mile Run to the Potomac River"
The streams course has shifted
since that time. however, in some
places as much as 80 feet.
And no one knows precisely
the path of the stream in 1880.
Alexandria officials have been
searching for a survey by the
late George E. Garrett, submit
ted to the court in 1880. So far,
it has not turned up. The Gar
rett survey gave a metes and
bounds description of the mean
derS.
Construction of thousands of
homes along the headwaters of
the stream have widened -Four
Mile Run and have made it a
torrent during rain storms which
constantly erode it's banks. Com
mercial development on the
Alexandria side also has affec-
ted the streams course.
In Arlington, the problem has
been studied by r. M. Writ,
director of public service; C. L.
Kinnier, director of planning,
and John R. Wigglesworth, di-
rector of surveys.
They believe that after Ar
lington and Alexandria agree
on the boundary. it may be nee
eSsary to ask the courts or the
General Assembly to give for
NAL approval.

Officers Curiosity
Brings Arrest Of a
In Housebreakinus

A 22-year-old Rockville man
and three Gaithersburg teen
ayers have been arrested by
Montgomery County police in
connection with a wave of house
breakings in the upper county
area in the past several weeks.
Their arrest yesterday clears
up at least a dozen burglaries in
Gaithersburg, Washington Grove.
Olney, Sunshine, Rockville and
Wheaton, detectives said today.
The four already have admit
ted a number of the housebreak-
ings and are being questioned
about others throughout the
county, police reported.
The Rockville man, Donald A.
Stubbs, so far has been charged
with only one count of house.
breaking but four more counts
were to be added today, accord
ing to Capt. G. w. LinthicUm,
county detective chief.
Three Youths Questioned.
The others arrested include
two 17-year-old youths and one
16, two of whom have previous
housebreaking records. Capt.
Linthicum said. They are being
questioned by detectives and
county juvenile authorities.
Capt. Linthicum said the
youths have been under sur
veillance for some time.
It was the curiosity of two
Silver Spring policemen which
led to their arrest.
About 1870 am. yesterday,
Pvts. Preston Hall and James
Melville were cruising around
the Wheaton shopping area
when they observed the 16-year-
old near Pendletons Hardware
Store.
The boy told the policemen he
was hitchhiking to his Gathers
burg home and was taking a
short cut through the Wheaton
triangle. The policemen, how
ever, were curious and looked
around the Pendleton store to see
if it had been entered. Seeing
no indication of this, they de-
cided to take the boy home.
Later the hardware store re-
ported some one had broken into
the store through a skylight and
that some $50 worth of ammuni-
ton and fishing tackle had been
stolen.
Stolen Auto Found.
Still later, a car stolen from
Wilkins Motors in Rockville Sun
day night was found abandoned
in Gaithersburg. It was found
at the same place where another
stolen car had been found the
previous night, police said. In
the second car were some price
tags from Pendleton's store.
Police thought of the 16-year-
old youth. They also had infor-
nation obtained during the in
vestigation of the upcounty
housebreakings by Detective
Sergt. J. B. Day and Sergt. Will
liam Broschart of the Rockville
station. The other arrests fol-
lowed.
Police said the four have ad-
mitted about five housebreak-
ings in Gaithersburg, burglary of
a hardware store in Olney from
which ammunition and guns
we're stolen, an ice cream store
in Washington Grove, gas sta
ton at Sunshine, and several
car thefts.
Stubs was placed under
$500 bond with a preliminary
hearing tentatively set for Au-
gust 6 in Rockville Police Court.
