before the court. Motions have
to be submitted in writing, he
pointed out.
Before he was silenced Mr..
Parker did manage to say that
the property will not be sold;
that the Government was bluff
ing. If the property were sold,
he said, "the very stones in the
street will rise" No ones prop
erty would be safe, he declared.
The law was so bad, he said,
that all the Government has to
do to take over the title on any
property was to serve a lien.
"The Government owns that
church." he said pointing to the
model of the, unbuilt structure.
Nov it wants to sell it to get
money to buy bullets to send
overseas"
Mr.. Parker has consistently
held, with little success in the
courts, that the money from the
contest was not subject to in
come tax because it was church
money.

Pet Skunk, Taken
By Some Brave Soul

Some brave soul has made off
with Stinky, the pet skunk of
the Hyattsville Volunteer Fire
Department.
Chief Charles Di Vincenzo says
it must have been some one
familiar enough with Stinky to
know that the Hyattsville fire
laddies had a veterinarian rem
der him harmless after they
found him under a porch three
weeks ago.
The chief said Stinky was
found missing from his cage
Saturday. A search Of the area
failed to turn him up.
Chief Di Vincenzo says his
boys are very anxious to find
their 3-month- pet. "He was
just getting tame enough to eat
out of our hands and we wanted
to train him to march in front
of our truck for parades." the

committee that Senator McCar-
thy, Republican, of Wisconsin
be censured for some of his Off

Smathers said in a statement
that the Senate, having imposed
a major trust in the committee
and seen it perform so notably, "
now must hold it's decisions

II would have felt constrained
to have supported their findings
even If they had exonerated the

Fringe Parking Trial
Called Successful

Charles M. Upham, chairman
OF the District Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency, declared yes
terday that the city's fringe
parking experiment "gives every
evidence" of being successful.
"As traffic conditions get
worse. it's even going to be easier
to set up more fringe lots" Mr..
Upham added.
He said that for the present,
these lots should be located as
close as possible to the down.
town area. Ultimately, however,
he went on, they should be estab-
lished farther out. He pointed
out that some fringe lots in Bos-
ton are located as far as Is miles
from the downtown area.
The big problem. Mr.. Upham
said, is to get motorists to
change their habits, like driving
their cars downtown.
"It's harder to change their
habits than to get legislation to
help cure traffic Ills" he said.
He offered a suggestion to the
District Highway Department:
II hope that, in their bridge
planning, they will try to pro-
vide for land for fringe parking
lots at the approaches" Mr.
Upham said.

Judge John w. Kern of the
United States Tax Court today
ruled Harrison Parker, 78-year-
old contest promoter, out of
order when he attempted to
make an oral motion concerning
the impending sale of real estate
to satisfy a tax lien.
Mr.. Parker appeared in the

model of his Puritan Church

nue. and Rock Greek Park that
is to be sold on October 81 on a

House Unit Opposes
u. 5. Outlay Now for
Fine Arts Projects

Thirteen bills proposing a
wide variety of Federal support
for the fine arts. including a war
memorial theater here, are
strongly opposed by a two-man
majority of a House Education
and Labor subcommittee.
But a minority report by the
third member of the unit strong
ly urges enactment of legislation.
This was disclosed today in
printed copies of the reports
after public hearings last June.
The bills all die anyhow, with
the end of this 83d Congress,
and the House already has quit,
without prospects of reconven-
ing.
Sees Cost Not Justified.
Flatly opposing the Federal
grants, because the Government
faces a big deficit, Republican
Representatives Bosch, of New
York, and Young, of Nevada,
declared that until such time
as this program can be sustained
as an absolute necessity, its evil
dent cost cannot be justified"
Referring to the Southwest
redevelopment program under
way here. the majority report
declared, "We also view with
considerable skepticism the sug-
gestion that building national
memorial theater will prompt
private investors to redevelop
Southwest Washington.
Desirable as this redevelop-
ment objective may be, we do
not believe that Federal funds
should be spent to build a the
ater in the hope that private
funds will then rebuild the town
around it. If the order Of these
building projects were reversed
we might be inclined to look
more favorably on this sugges-
ton for a national memorial
theater."

Architects Contracts
For Public Works 10
Go Before City Heads

The District Commissioners
this week will be asked to ap-
prove architects contracts for
the design of four projects un-
der the city's $500 million

sioner said yesterday.
He told the Washington
Metropolitan chapter of the
American Institute of Architects,
at a luncheon meeting in the
Burlington Hotel that negotia-
tions have been completed on the
four and are nearly finished on

He declined to name the archi-

Board of Commissioners. The
first four projects are:
The Youth Corrections Center
at Lorton, a $3.4 million re-
habilitation establishment for
juvenile offenders; two infirm-
ary cottages at the Laurel

$565, 900 replacement for the Po-
lice Women's Bureau, and a
$500,000 elementary school at
Sixth street and Riggs road NE.
100000 Library.
The fifth project is the Wood
ridge branch library, estimated
to cost 100000, in Southeast
Washington.
A sixth project. Gen. Prentiss
said, is stalled awaiting a Board
of Education decision on whether
to build a new school on a dis
puted site in the 1900 block Of
S street NV.
The architects also heard Will

Capital Transit
Asks Full Fare
On fringe Run
Early Approval
( Is Expected From
Utilities Commission

The Capital Transit Co. today
asked the Public Utilities Com
mission to let it charge regular
rates of fare on its special bus
route between the city's ex-
perimental fringe parking lot
and downtown Washington.
Also the company asked for
q 90-day extension of Its per-
NIT to operate the route. Capt.
tai Transit has been providing
free service for a 30-day trial
period, which ends on Octo-
ber IA.
Almost immediate approval
was expected from the commits
sion. It's chairman, Robert E..
Mclaughlin, said yesterday an
order-probably approving the
request-would be issued within
q couple of days.
Present fares are 20 cents
cash, five tokens for 80 cents (16
cents each) or a 75-cent weekly
permit, plus a dime a ride, in
Guiding transfer privileges.
Results of Survey Outlined.
The company's request was
contained in a letter telling what
the free bus service has cost
the company and outlining the
results of a survey of fringe
parkers' bus riding habits.
The buses run between down.
town Washington and the city
parking lot at the Anacostia end
of the South Capitol Street
Bridge.
Ultimately the company is ex-
pected to request a fare for the
special service higher than the
regular one. Such a request
would mot be unlikely on the
basis of the figures the COM
pany, has given u.s." Mr.. Nc
Laughlin said.
Cost Estimated at $4,000.
Describing costs to the COM
pany, E. c. Giddings, vice presi-
dent. estimated the 30-day free
services would cost the company
about $4,000.
Even charging regular rates,
he said, the company would still
continue to lose about $50 a day,
but plans to continue the opera
ton for the further 90-day ex-
pertinent as a contribution to the
community.
The survey of riding habits in
dicated that the South Capitol
Street lot diverted 164 autos from
entering the downtown area last
September %.
+ This, the survey said, was only
SIS per cent of the total number
of cars parked on the lot.
% New Riders.
In addition. the survey con-
tended, the lot generated 218
new transit riders on the survey
day, indicating 36 per cent of
the riders normally used Capitol
Transit service anyway.
Thus. the company concluded
imposition of a charge on the
fringe lot route probably would
cut the number of riders by 81
per cent, assuming these persons
went back to their old habit OF
parking elsewhere in the fringe
area and taking a bus to work
Cost of the service during the
second week of the lots opera
ton was at an average of $173
a day. If all riders had paic
regular fares, the company said
the company still would have
sustained a loss of $42 a day.
