Gas Light Company
Seeks 0Pct. Raise
In Maryland Rates

The Washington Gas Light
Co is seeking to increase gas
rates to it's suburban Maryland
customers by about 10 per cent
The company filed a rate raise
petition with the Maryland Pub
lie Service Commission in Balti-
more yesterday, stating that the
proposed increase would make
Maryland gas rates uniform
with those the company charges
in the District.
The petition stated that the
average increase for customers
who heat their homes with gas
would be $1.87 per month. For
those who use gas only for
stoves. hot water heaters and
smaller appliances. the average
increase would be about S cents
a month.
The new rates would boost an
nual revenues of the company
by 1895, 900. the petition said.
The company, in press
statement, said the new rate
schedule is made necessary by
the increased higher costs of
labor and supplies plus re-
cent substantial increases in the
wholesale cost of natural gas"
supplied by Atlantic Seaboard
Corp.
Although gas rates to its
Prince Georges and Montgomery
County customers have been de-
creased at various times since
1880, the company said, no in
creaSes have been made since
1920.
The Public Service Commis-
sion will hold a hearing on the
new rate schedule, but no date
has yet been set.
The monthly schedule request
ed by the company:
For the first 4.8 therms or
less-$1.
For 1912 therms-15.6 cents
per therm.
For IS therms-14 cents per
therm.
For $40 therms-11.8 cents per
therm.
For 5,400 therms-9.5 cents
per therm.
Over 5000 therms-8.5 cents

ANNAPOLIS, May 19.-Back-
seat drivers got words of en-
couragement yesterday from
Chief Judge Simon E. Sobelof
of the Maryland Court of Ap-
peals.
Passenger advice should be en-
couraged. he said, if the driver
is being warned "of obvious
perils."
The judge made these remarks
in ruling that a jury should have
decided who was accountable for
an accident two years ago.

Sanitary Commission
Stream|ining Urged
By Interfederation

The 1nterfederation Council
asked for a general streamlining
of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission last night.
The group indorsed the report
Of three private accounting and
business firms, who recommended
that the operations of the COM
mission, especially in its account
ing procedures. be brought up to
date and made more scientific.
Mrs. Irma Bogdanoff, who
asked the council to support the
recommendations of the private
firms, said the reason commits
sion has been operating with
antiquated bookkeeping and
management techniques is that,
until recently, it worked in closed
meetings.
Valuation Criticized.
She pointed out that the lists
Of property owned by the COM
mission were complete right down
to the number of shovels. But.
she said, the valuation of the
property was poorly estimated so
the precise inventory lost it's
meaning in the final accounting.
Both Mrs. Bogdanoff, who is
from Prince Georges County,
and Henry H. Smelling of Mont
gomery County agreed that
opening the meetings already
has and will continue to i'm
prove the operation of the COM
mission.
Resolution for Study.
Mr.. Smelling introduced a
resolution asking that nomi-
nees for the position of sanitary
commissioners be required to
meet certain standards. Mrs.
Bogdanof pointed out that,
since the present members of
the commission have several
years to serve before there will
be any openings, it would be
advisable for the group to con-
centrate on procedural mat
tiers. Mr.. Snelling's resolution
was tabled for further study.
The group agreed that the
commission should have a gen.
eral manager.
The meeting was held in the
Board Of Trade Room in The
Evening Star Building.

Planners Back
Shopping Area
On Foote Tract
Fairfax Group Fovors
Rezonine Of 33 Acres
At Seven Corners

The Fairfax County Planning
Commission today recommended
commercial Zoning of the entire
33-acre Foote tract at Seven
Corners for a large regional
shopping center with two de-
partment stores.
The property is owned by heirs
of Frederick Foote, former slave
who bought the land for $500
after the Civil War. The Foote
heirs have contracted to sell
their land to the Lynne Invest
ment Corp. of Washington for
$750,000 if it is zoned COM
mercial.
Rezoning of the property was
argued before the Planning Com
mission at a hearing last night.
The commissions recommended
ton was announced today. The
final decision rests with the
Board of County Supervisors to-
morrow.
Vote Is S to 3.
The Planning Commission's
vote was six to three in favor
OF the rezoning. Those opposed
to 1t said they feared the pro-
posed shopping center would
create additional traffic difficult
ties at Seven Corners. They also
argued that the site was not
large enough to attract major
department stores and that Fair
fax County's principal regional
shopping center should go where
more land is available.
Robert j. McCandlish, jr., rep
reSenting some of the Foote
heirs, said DR.. Homer Hoyt had
recommended that the proper
place for a master shopping
center was near Seven Corners.
DR.. Hoyt currently is conduct
in an economic survey of Fair
fax County.
Would Cost $40 Million.
Irving D. Berger of the Lynne
Investment Corp, showed the
Planning Commission drawings
of the proposed shopping center,
which he said would cost from
$40 to SIS million.
The plans call for two depart
ment stores which would be at
opposite ends of rows of 40
smaller stores. Parking spaces
for 1900 cars would be provided.
A spokesman for the Culmore
Shopping Center, which is locat-
ed on Leesburg pike about a
mile from Seven Corners, pro-
tested that the new project
would drain business from Cul-
more. There already are 30
stores at Culmore and 10 more
are planned.

New Fund Sources
For School BUILDING
Urged in Montgomery

The Montgomery County
Council had under consideration
today a proposal for a commits
sion to find new sources of
school construction revenue.
James @. Reber, president of
the County Council of PTA's,
recommended the appointment
of the study commission to the
county heads last night.
He suggested that a county
council member head the COM
mission composed of representa-
tives of civil groups and other
organizations.
One of the chief purposes of
the study, he said, would be to
find ways to relieve real estate
taxpayers, who now bear vir-
tually the entire burden for
school costs.
Mr.. Reber advanced his pro-
posal while testifying on a bill
to authorize the county council
to issue 81 million in school con-
struction bonds next fiscal year.
This would enable the council,
which already has authorization
left over from last year to bor-
row $4.2 million for school build
ing, to adopt the school budget
asked by the school board rather
than the lesser $4 million school
construction budget recommend
ed by former County Manager
Irving G. McNayr.
The council, however, is not
committed under the bill to float
any school bonds-it merely
authorizes the action.
Fire Station Squabble.
The school bond bill was one
of nine proposed measures COW
cred in a hearing before the
Council last night. One of them
"a bill designed to ratify previ-
Gus purchases of land by county
fire departments and libraries
inspired a neighborhood squab-
BILE over a particular site.
Residents of the Massachu-
sets avenue extended area and
their representatives hotly op-
posed the blanket fire depart
ment bill on the basis it would
ratify purchase of the long-con-
tested Conduit road fire sta
ton at Walhonding and Sanga-
more roads.
Amendment Suggested.
Attorney Plummer Shearin,
representing the Massachusetts,
Avenue Extended Citizens Asso-
citation and the High Point Citi.
zens' Association, indicated the
bill might find favor with his
if it were amended to rat
ify purchase of land, but provided
that public hearings are held be-
fore such land could be used for
fire stations.
Attorney Kathryn Lawler, rep
resenting 1850 homes in the
Glen Echo area" which would
be served by the new fire station,
argued in favor of the bill, saying
fire protection for the entire area
would be improved by the San
gamore site.
Councilwoman Stella Werner
said about 80 per cent of the
county's fire department, mostly
volunteers. might lose their tax
funds if the bill fails.
Council President George Mes
bitt expressed his regret that
more countrywide views on the
proposed bill had not been heard.

Conviction
Appeals 18-Month
Sentence in Grid
Bribe Attempt Case

Prince Georges County author
tiles today sought the Army's
views on the status of Louis L.
Glickf1eld, who faces up to 18
months in prison and a $1,000
fine for attempting to bribe a
University of Maryland football
star.
Glickf1eld, a suspended STU
dent of the same institution now
in Army service. was convicted
yesterday in Upper Marlboro
circuit court.
Judge Charles C. Marbury,
after hearing the case without a
jury, found Glickfield guilty of
trying to bribe Center Tom Co.'S
grove to keep the point spread of
last falls Louisiana State game
under 81 points.
Two other Maryland players,
Quarterback Jack Scarbath and
Guard Frank Navarro, testified
Glickf1eld offered them money
for the same purpose. Maryland
won. SO to 6.
GlickfieId on Stand.
Glickfield denied the accusa-
tions from the witness stand.
Terming the offense "a clan
destine, sneaky, evil effort to
corrupt a college SPORT" Judge
Marbury ordered the 21-year-old
defendant to serve an indetermi-
nate term, not to exceed 18
months, in the State Reforma-
tory for Males at Breathedsville.
Defense Attorneys Ignatius j.
Keane and Charles E. Ford ap-
pealed, and Glickf1eld was re-
leased under $4,000 bond. Mr..
Keane said the defendant will
remain at his Hyattsville home
pending the appeals court ruling.
Sheriff. Carlton G. Beall said,
however, he will wire Fort Knox
officers, who surrendered Click
field for the trial, to ascertain
their views. Officers at the post
notified him that Glickfeld was
to be brought back "if he is ac-
quilted" the sheriff said.
Father Weeps.
Glickfield displayed a trace of
nervousness while the court de-
livered pre-sentence castiga-
tion of attempts to inject un-
wholesome influences into college
competition.
1.-THE whole idea is completely
shocking" the court declared.
IF we can't have it clean. we
just can't have it at ALL"
The defendants father, Albert
Glickf1eld. wept. His mother left
the courtroom by a rear door.
Judge Marbury announced the
verdict after a day-long trial. in
which Cosgrove and Navarro said
they were approached by Click
field on October %. Scarbath
told the court that the defendant
made overtures to him the next
day.
All the players said Glickdeld
flashed a roll of bills and told
them it would be to their advan-
tage to keep the point spread
down.
No Money Paid.
They testified that they re-
ported the offers to university
officials and co-operated in un-
successful efforts to trap Click
field into an actual exchange of
money. No money changed
hands, they said.
Glickf1eld insisted he made no
attempt TO bribe any of the play
ers. He said he told them he
won the money by betting on
football games and that he
flashed the bills in a spirit of
braggadocio.
His sole purpose in talking to
Scarbath, Cosgrove and Navarro,
Glickfeld repeatedly said, was to
learn their views as the teams
fitness and its chances for VIC
tory in the October Is game.
