County Operated Bus System
For Public and Pupils Proposed

A county-operated transpor-
tation system to run buses for
the general public and carry
school children has been Sug-
gested for Fairfax County.
The recommendation was
made yesterday by Robert F..
Davis, member of the county
School Board.
1.-THE School Board spends
$256,000 a year for its own
transportation system" said
Mr.. Davis. THAT money would
go a long way toward financing
a county wide public transpor-
tation system"
He told the School Board
Fairfax County could create an
authority to operate a public
transportation system.
Fairfax County badly needs
a good bus system" Mr.. DAVIS
said. Some bus companies op-
crate a few routes in built-up
areas of the county, but we
don't have any countrywide
transportation system at ALL"
Discussion of Plan Set.
The School Board voted to
put his suggestion on the agenda
for discussion October 6.
School Supt. w. T. Woodson
reported there are still Is teach
ing vacancies yet to be filled
before the opening of school
Tuesday. A full instructional
staff would number 8S4.
Mr.. Woodson said the num-
ber of vacancies is not alarming
however, and that substitute
teachers can be used temporarily
if they are needed when school
opens. OF the Is vacancies
eight contracts have been Of
fered to teachers who have not
yet accepted them, four other
applicants are being considered
and there are no specific ap-
plicants for the other 13 va
cancieS.

50 Teachers Sought
In Prince Georges for
4,OOO-P Pupil Increase

About $4,000 public school
pupils are expected to return to
classes for the opening of the
fall term in Prince Georges Coun-
ty Tuesday.
That would represent an in
crease of almost 1000 over
October of last year,
The county is still looking for
teachers. School Supt. William
S. Schmidt said yesterday about
so more are needed to I'LL all Of
the 1883 positions required this
year. Biggest shortage is in the
elementary schools, although Mr..
Schmidt said the county still
needs few more high school
mathematics and science teach
erS.
New Elementary Schools.
Nine new elementary schools
will be open for the first time
Tuesday.
Another new eleme entary
school, the Six-claSSroom Struc-
ture at Kentland won't quite
make it. Glasses will open there
September Is, one week late.
The new elementary schools
opening Tuesday are:
Laurel Elementary No. 2, &
elassrooms; Surratsville Elemen-
tary Primary, 8: Forest Heights
II; West Lanham Hills. s: Sea-
brook. 4: Carole Highlands, IL
Lewisdale, IL: Brentwood, 4, and
Brooks Road colored elemen-
tary, 8.
The large number of new ele-
mentary schools-four more are
scheduled to open during the
year-will mean less children or
double shifts, county school of1-
cials said. But double shifts
seem almost certain again al
Langley Park and Ager road ele-
mentary schools, Assistant Supt
Thomas S. Gwynn, jr.. said, and
they may be necessary at Seat
Pleasant and Landover Hills ele-
mentaries.
Four New Sites.
The School Board is hopeful
that four new sites now being
purchased will alleviate over
crowding in some of those areas
by next year. Sites are being
purchased in Morningside, Lang
ley Park, Landover Hills and the
Ager road section, Mr.. Gwynr
said.
The four new schools now
under construction and Sched-
uled to open during the year are
the Ridgecrest, North Forestville
Temple Hills and Douglas (col-
ored) ElementarieS.
Mr.. Gwynn said these addi-
tions also will be ready for service
Tuesday:

.Fiye-Cent Fare Rise
On Montgomery Line
Allowed by Board

A scent fare increase on
Montgomery Bus Lines, a sub
sidiary of Capital Transit Co.,
has been authorized by the
Maryland Public Service Com
mission. The new rates go into
effect tomorrow for service with
in Maryland, and on Monday on
the Washington-Rockville trip.
Yesterday Capital Transit Off
Gals said they plan to seek an
increase in fares within the Dis
trict. How much they will seek
or when they will make the re-
quest has not been determined,
a spokesman said.
The Maryland commission yes
terday approved an increase of
5 cents in the present fare of 5
cents for the first zone. An
additional 5 cents was author
lied to be added to fares for the
other six zones. The maximum
fare for the entire distance be-
tween Washington and Rockville
may be raised from IS to 40
cents.
Also approved was a request to
abandon an old 12-trip COM
muters' ticket and substitute
10-trip ticket. The commission
held that the price of the 10-ride
ticket must be no more than IS
per cent of the cost of the sin
gle-fare rates.
The old ticket is a holdover
from the days when most people
worked a six-day week.

Court Asked 10 Upset
Grant Of License

A Prince Georges Circuit Court
judge will rule finally on whether
there will be an addition to the
one liquor outlet in Suitland.
William C. Steele and 10 other
citizens of the fast-growing COM
munity filed an action yesterday,
asking the court to reverse a
decision of the County Liquor
Board.
The board, after two bitter
hearings and personal inspec-
tions of the area, granted trans
fer of an off-sale permit from
Harvey Fox, 9165 Livingston
road, to Charlie j. Klahr and
John P. Humphrey for use at
1862 Suitland road.
Through Attorney Earl j..
Lombard of Washington, the
opposing citizens said in their
appeal that the boards discre-
tion was not fairly exercised"
and was arbitrary, against the
public interest, unsupported by
substantial evidence and beyond
the powers of the board"
They further contended that
Mr.. Fox continued to hold a
financial interest in the business
after the transfer was approved
last November.
Others who signed the action
were Laurence F. Bean, C. G.
Hathcocke, Lee A. Peterson,
George A. Norton, Harry H.
Cooper, r. L. Jenkins, jr.; John
Harms. Harry w. West, James H.

Maryland to Seek
To Abolish Tolls on
Bridge at Benedict
By the Assoeiofed Press

BALTIMORE, Mar. 14.-Mary-
land Road Chief Russell Nc
Cain said the State makes such
a small amount on Patuxent
River Bridge tolls at Benedict
it will take steps to abolish the
charge.
The Roads Commission chair
man said Gov. McKeldin and
Joseph D. Buscher, special as
sistant attorney general, will
confer on the matter soon.
Mr.. Mccain noted tolls from
the bridge are only a little more
than the cost of collecting them.
He said one of the problems
was protection of private in
veStors whose bond purchases A.
nanced construction of the span.
This might be solved, Mr.. Nc
Cain added, by setting UP trust
of about So million to pay OF
the bonds as they become due.

Held Labor Dispute.
The court held that the COM

the injunction was based was
defective and that the contro-
versy is a labor dispute over
which Maryland courts have lin
tied power.
But Judge Marbury held the
case on the docket and gave
the company 80 days to amend
its complaint. after opposing
counsel said they believed an
amicable settlement can be
reached.
Trouble at the plant began
early in February. when four

2'Cat Burglars, Is,
Loot Homes in Area
As Parents SIumber

Two 13-year-old boys, who
waited until their parents slept
to begin their nocturnal burgla-
ries. have been turned over to
juvenile authorities by Mont
gomery County police.
The pair was apprehended by
Detective Sergt. John P. Leahy,
who was investigating reports by
Bethesda and Chevy Chase resi-
dents that their bedrooms had
been entered stealthly by night
and robbed in the last eight or
nine weeks.
The boys are from we'll to-do
families in the Bethesda area,
Sergt. Leahy said. He described
their operations as follows:
One boy listened to his radio
upstairs until his parents slept.
Sometime after midnight he
slipped out of the house and went
to the home of the other boy,
about 10 blocks away. Using a
key hidden near the back door
to enter the house, he then woke
his partner.
Sought Unlocked Doors.
The two boys would prowl sys-
tematically through a row of
houses looking for unlocked
doors. When they entered a
home, one boy usually stood
guard while the other crept into
bedroom.
Wearing tennis shoes and car
rying small flashlights, they
looked for cash on bedroom
dressers, in closets and on night
stands.
They're lucky they weren't
shot proWling through houses
like that" Sergt. Leahy said.
The raids netted the pair, who
worked mostly on week ends,
nearly 5000.
Nearly Caught Sunday.
Early Sunday, the boys had
a close call. the detective con-
tinued. A terrified woman
heard proWlers and reused her
husband, who turned on the
lights. The pair fled.
Piecing together old rumors
and reports, Sergt. 4Leahy said
he located the two young sus-
poets this week. When a home
they had entered was pointed
out to him, Sergt Leahy asked
the owner if he had missed any
cash. The man said he had
noticed no midnight providers,
but that one morning he thought
his wallet was minus about $40.
The boys are in their parents
custody pending action by juve-
nile authorities.

HubbelPs prize pitch than any
thing he'd ever seen. He, too,
is most eager to learn and quickly
does as he's told. The Giants have
lost no time working with his
Faults such as throwing too much
with his arm and not following
through as he should. He's
worked so hard with these faults
that even the umpires were prais-
ing Gomez. Said Babe Pinelli:

Jinz Plaques
Joe Black?

NEW YORK-Nothing seems to
be going right for Joe Black these
days. Just this weekend in the
first game with the Yankees, Joe
was sent in as pinch runner.
The feet of foot athlete got cut
down trying to stretch a double
into a triple. Then when Duke
Snider hit his two run homer,
the game could have been all
tied up had not Joe gotten erased
from the base, So the Dodgers
lost by a score sd
Black has not been getting his
humps only as a pinch runner.
It's his pitching for which he's
famous and which has been sadly
aniss all Spring. Dresser and
all Dodger brass keep telling you
not to worry but still Joe's get
ting hit and his solidly. "All
Black needs b more work and I
haven't heen able to give it to
him." explains Charlie. Hell be
all right. There's nothing wrong
with his arn. Well give him
plenty of batting practice work
and he'll be just as tough as
he was last year when the games
count"
But so far Joe has allowed 13
runs and u hits in just 25 inn
ings. This is not only far cry
from last years form but it's
got everyone bringing up the
sophomore records of Jim Kon-
stanty and Joe Page, the brilliant
believers who di so miserably
their second year. Black him
self isn't too worried. After all,
he says, he's late starter and
was so last year. Just wait until
the seasons on its way and ev-
erything will be okay.
