Home After Long Polio Fight,
Mother Calls Herself Boss

There is a cheerful household
intact again at 1921 Rowalt drive
in College Park, Md. where Is
months ago fate struck a dis
couraging blow.
Back with her husband and
two children after nearly a year
and a half in hospitals-and the
avowed "boss" OF the family-is
happy Mrs. Betty Sullivan. "a.
She was brought to the hos
pital with polio on July q, 1852.
Five and one-half hours after
she was placed in an iron lung.
she gave birth to her son, Kim.
at District General Hospital.
With the help of relatives, the
SuIlivans have managed to keep
their home together while Mrs.
Sullivan regained strength.
Husband Hitchhiked.
Her husband, Richard, 80, a
Venetian blind installer, visited
her every day while she was hos
patilized here, and five nights a
week during the IL months she
was in Children's Hospital School
in Baltimore. He hitchhiked
when his car broke down.
But she saw Kim and her
daughter. Leslie Anne, 31a, only
five times. Kim was six months
old before his mother was able
to see him.
Those days are behind them
now. With Mr.. Sullivan's moth
er, Mrs. Leona Sullivan, a former
nurse, staying on to keep the
household going, the young
couple looks forward to growing
self-suficiency. Soon, they hope,
the elder Mrs. Sullivan will be
able to go back to her own home
in the evenings.

Legislators Favor
Stricter Virginia
Laws on Drivers
By the Associates Pres,

RICHMOND, Oct. 1O.-A legis-
lative study committee recon-
mended today that Virginia law
be amended to provide for the
impoundment of AUTOMOBILES
owned by persons caught driving
after their licenses have been
suspended or revoked.
"All too frequently" the Vir-
ginia Advisory Legislative Coun-
Gil Committee said, drivers
whose licenses have been sus-
pended continue to drive not
withStanding.
"Impoundment Of the motor
vehicle in such cases would be
an additional means. of discour-
aging this and effective to keep
such unsafe drivers of the road.
The courts should be pei
mitted to employ this sanction
when, in their discretion, it is
necessary.
The report, submitted to Gov.
Battle after a STUDY authorized
by the 1852 General Assembly,
also suggested several other
amendments to the State code
designed to strengthen the Vir-
ginia Motor Vehicle Safety Re-
SponSibility Law.
At present, the law lays down
minimum standards of financial
responsibility which the owner of
a motor vehicle must meet
either through insurance or per-
sonal funds-before being al
lowed to operate an automobile.
The committee recommended:
/. That the owner of a vehicle,
as well as the actual operator of
a vehicle involved in an accident,
be made subject to the security
sections of the law.
Prior to 1948," the report said,
"the owner of a vehicle involved
in an accident was required to
post security for the payment of
judgments resulting from the ac-
cident and give proof of financial
responsibility, along with the op-
orator, if his license plates were
not to be suspended. This was
amended in 1948 to make these
provisions inapplicable to the
owner as well as the operator.
If the owner is also under the
act, he will be more careful as
to who operates his car. -"
2. That the minimum bodily
injury liability coverage required
be increased from $4,000 for
each accident to $4,000 and
from $4,000 to $4,000 for each
person injured.
THE change in the value of
the dollar and the cost of living
since enactment of our law has
been clearly reflected in sizable
increase in the average verdict
for personal injuries" the COM
mittee explained.
3. That the section of the code
relating to punishment of persons
caught driving after their licenses
have been revoked or suspended
be amended to bring it into line
with the second offender" speed
law enacted by the 1852 General
Assembly.
4. That the Division of Motor
Vehicles take steps to publicize
the requirements of the financial
responsibility law so that State
drivers will be aware of what is
required of them.

Planners Renew
RezOning Appeal
On Ager Road Tract

The Maryland National Capt.
tai Park and Planning CommiS-
sion has renewed it's attempt to
obtain commercial zoning for it's
4-8-acre tract at Ager road,
Hamilton street and Queens
Chapel road in West Hyatts-
vile.
The property now is in the
R-R (rural residentiaD zone and
the commission has asked Prince
Georges County Commissioners
to place it In the CO general
commercially zone.
Additional park land would be
developed elsewhere in the
county through use of proceeds
Of the sale if the tract is re-
zoned.
Denied Nine Months Ago.
A similar application was de-
MED by the county commission
ers about nine months ago. The
county heads later rejected the
planning commissions request
for a rehearing.
Opponents of the rezoning
argued that the property should
be kept for public use. They
said the commission should not
obtain land for parks and then
sell it.
The commission says that the
property, bought % years ago
as part of Northwest Branch
Park, became isolated from the
park area as a result of relo-
cation Of Queens Chapel and
Ager roads.
To develop the tract for park
or recreation purposes now. the
commission says, would result
in a dangerous situation for
persons crossing busy highways
that carry about $1,000 vehicles
every "a hours.
Three Petitions Approved.
The commission, in other ac-
tlonS. recommends approval of
three zoning petitions in Mont
gomery County and opposes
three others. Those indorSed by
the planning agency are:
BY Daniel Diener, residential
A to commercial D of a part of
lot on the east side of Georgia
avenue between White Oak
drive and Flora avenue, Mont
gomery Hills.
BY Gulf Oil Corp, residential
A to commercial D of portions
of six adjoining lots.
BY Jack Coopersmith, resi-
dental A to commercial D of

f1cation from residential C
