Pedestrian Safety
Award Is Won by
District 18th Time

The District today proudly
pinned it's 18th national pedes-
trian protection award plaque
on a display wall of the District
Building.
But Commissioner Samuel
Spencer warned that the city'S
safety record in 1858 leaves con-
siderable to be desired.
The award designated the Ma
tons Capital as firSt-place win

ton class (500,000-1 million) in

rather than its actual record of
lives and injuries spared, that
warranted the top rating.
Traffic fatalities last year
dropped to Al from the SO OF
the previous year. Mr.. Marsh
said that while other cities
achieved sharper reductions in
1853, the Districts annual traf-
fic slaughter score card from 1912
to 1853 improved by 80 fewer
deaths.
Highlights of the program that
brought the city its latest award
were enforcement and educa-
tional measures, special safety

McKeIdin Forecasts
Bright Future for
Maryland Builders

Gov. McKeldin today forecast
a bright future for builders in
Maryland as he addressed the
opening session of a day-long
conference sponsored by the SUBJ
urban Maryland Builders in
Silver Spring.
Some so persons were on hand
as the conference was opened by
Carl Freeman.
"For years ahead this country
is going to have an almost in
satiable appetite for new build
ings," the Governor said. "Our
high birth rate and increased
longevity alone will keep the de-
mand high"
Gov. McKeldin, however, added
there is a growing demand for
replacement Of substandard
houses.
The Governor called for sound
planning to make certain the
right type of buildings are put
in the right environment.
He said nearly four-fifths Of
the States residents live in
areas where planning commits
sions exist. The Governor en-
phaSized that land could no
longer be treated as an mex
haustible commodity.
Today's conference at the In
dian Spring Country Club was
called by the builders so they
could discuss and iron out their
problems with department heads
in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, and with off,
Gals of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com
mission and the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission.
The tenor of the session was
set by Mr.. Freeman. who en-
phasized that time was the "life
blood of the building industry"
and delays at the governmental
level were costly.

Prisoner Angered
Observation-Disclosures
Deputy in Court

A prisoner attacked a deputy
United States marshal with his
fists in a crowded courtroom yes
terday, shortly after he had been
found guilty of armed robbery
and carrying a dangerous
weapon.
The attack occurred before the
eyes of Federal Judge Alexander
Holtzof and numerous specta-
tors in the United States District
Court for the District Of Colum-
bia.
The prisoner, Lance Butler, 81.
colored. had been found guilty
in the $14.50 robbery Of a cab
driver. The driver, Clinton D.
Hughes, Sc. of the 5000 block of
H street Sc. was badly beaten
and cut in the robbery. He was
hospitalized for five weeks.
A juvenile also implicated in
the case is facing trial in Juve-
nile Court.
With the verdict returned,
Deputy Marshal Robert Rollins
instructed Butler to take his seat.
Suddenly the latter turned and
cried out: II didn't do it! I'm not
going to jail"
He swung his fist at Mr.. Roll
Inns, who grappled with him. In
seconds, three other deputy mar
shals moved in, and the strug-
Cling prisoner was hauled to an
elevator leading to the cell block.
The Butler case had been dis
posed of while Judge Holtzof
was awaiting a verdict in the
trial of the four Puerto RicanS
involved in the shooting Of five
Congressman. Butler was sue
cessfully prosecuted by newly APP
pointed Assistant United States
Attorney Joel D. Blackwell. It
was Mr.. Blackwell'S first case in
his new post.

Officials Seek Way
To Avoid Legion
Parade Till Dawn

A misgiving that the American
Legion convention parade as now
planned could last until day
break has prompted city officials
to arrange a moderation confer
ence with LegionnaireS.
The August 81 affair, which
threatens to rival the noon-to-
darkness march of the Eisen-
hover inauguration. was the sub
ject of a worried memo from the
Metropolitan Police Department
to the Commissioners yesterday.
Legion plans call for a 10-hour
hike from Capitol Hill to Seven
tenth street and Constitution
avenue NV. 1t would start at
Ppm.
To Police Chief Robert ".
Murray this timing is unrealistic.
Chief Murray wants to limit
the parade to six hours and have
it start between 9 and 10 am. so
it would be reasonably sure to
end by nightfall.

The commission chief said the
rider also bars permanent ap-
pointments to former career en-
ployes who left the service and
then returned and were given
only an indefinite appointment.
Mr.. Young said the commits
sion'S proposed conversion pro-
gram, if the rider is repealed,
would give immediate permanent
status to $4,000 indefinite en-
ployes who have passed merit
exams and have at least three
years of continuous service. Dur

employees than he was allowed
by the House in the city's budget
for the fiscal year which starts
July /.
Appearing before a Senate Ap-
preparations subcommittee head.
ed by Senator Dirksen, Republic
can of Illinois, he asked for
$153, 1853 more than was granted
by the House. The Commission
ers had requested so men for his
department. the House allowed
IS and he asked the Senate for
another 20. This would give him
81 employees, six less than the
original request.
Mr.. Lowe, however, whose re-
organization departments were
severely slashed by Congress in
last years budget, drew scant
sympathy from Senator Dirksen.
The latter asked for a priority
list from Mr.. Lowe, and indi-
Gated that some, but not all, Of
the jobs will be restored.

Mr.. Lowe said the 20 people
are needed to make studies
which would permit economies
in operation, including two
laborerS to install a combined
warehouse and records center.
