Sought BY County

Prince Georges County Com
missionerS yesterday reopened
talks with the Capital Transit
Co. about purchase of three more
miles of the company's Branch
vile streetcar line for q road
right-of-way.
The county bought 80 miles
of abandoned streetcar right-of-
way from Capital Transit in
1851 for $16,5O0. A 40-foot wide
stretch Of Rhode Island avenue
was laid over it from BeltSville
to Branchville.
Transit officials yesterday
were asked by the commissioners
to confer with etc directors
over possible purchase Of an
other three mile section from
Branchville to Riverdale which
is still a part Of the company's
streetcar network.
Commissioner Edward A. Wat
ers said after the closed meeting
that the transit company was
asked to consider requesting
abandonment of the Branchville
trolley line from Riverdale north.
The request would have to be
heard before the Maryland Pub
lie Service Commission. The
county's interest in purchase of
the three-mile section might be
used as, a, wedge" in arguments
before the commission, the COM
missioners said.
Mr.. Walters said Capital
Transit officials indicated they
would prefer to run DIESEL buses
over a widened and extened
Rhode Island avenue than to
continue the Streetcar service.

Branchville was a proposal to
build q widened three-mile Sec
ton Of Rhode Island avenue,

the streetcar tracks in the CEN
ter Of the roadway.
The Branchville streetcar line
formerly ran as far as Laurel.
It has been whitfield down over
the years. The last section to
be abandoned ran from Branch
vile to Berwyn.

Ma|,oney Petition
For Poll Records in
Calvert Rejected
By the Associated Pres.

Judge John B. Gray. jr.. in
Calvert Circuit Court rejected
today George r. Maheney's pc
tition for comparison of poll
books With registration books to
see If there had been any irreg-
ularities in Calvert County's gu
bernatorial primary.
The judge upheld contention
that such an action was beyond
the authority Of the county's
Board of Election Supervisors.
The attempt to get q COMPARE
son Of books represented a last
ditch effort on Mr.. Mahoney's
part to upset the Calvert County
vote, which went to DR.. H. c.
Byrd. A recount which ended
yesterday gave Mr.. Byrd 80 votes
to insure for him the county's
three unit votes in the contest
for the Democratic nomination
for Governor.
May Act in Baltimore.
Mahoney forces also may be
in court in Baltimore today.
His lawyers are seeking per-
mission to look at all the cleo
ton records in the city's Fourth
District, the only one of Balti-
more's six that DR.. Byrd won.
Philip Dorsey, who lost the at
torney generals nomination by
a narrow margin to C. Ferdinand
Sybeft, wants the same privilege
in both the Fourth and Fifth.
Must Reply by Monday.
Judge Joseph L. Carter gave
the Baltimore Board of Election
Supervisors until Monday to re-
ply. But he said he would listen
to arguments today, if the board
is ready.
DR.. Byrd's campaign manager,
E. Brooke Lee, has charged that
the court actions are an attempt
by Mr., Mahoney to delay his

Asked $165, 900 for
Delinquency Project

The Chi1dren's Bureau request
for $165. 900 to do special work
on juvenile delinquency has been
denied by the House Appropri-
atoms Committee.
The fund had been requested
by the bureau for inclusion In
the pending supplemental ap-
preparations bill.
Cites "a Appropriation.
In its report to the House the
committee said tthe Children's
Bureau has for many years had
ample authority to proceed in
this. field, and the committee
notes that Of the 1854 appropri-
alton to the bureau of 81 ,525, 900,
providing for 214 man-years Of
employment. the bureau saw flt
to utilize only 5l2 man-years in
the field of juvenile delinquency.
"The personnel now utilized
IN this activity" the report ex-
planned, could be quadrupled
within the appropriation already
made and still require only about
10 per cent of the total bureau
funds.
1T is apparent from budget
submissions that the Executive
Branch has not decided whether
increased activity in this field
should be assigned to this bureau
or to other bureaus in other Of
fees of the same department"
Asked by DIR. Eliot.
The request for juvenile delin-
quency funds was strongly sup
ported before a House Appro-
priations Subcommittee earlier
this month by DIR. Martha M.
Eliot, chief of the Children's Bu-
reau. and other officers of the
Department of Health, Educa-

State Police Pleased
AT Way Radar Helps
Enforce Speed Laws
BY the As.oeiatsd Press

PIKESVILLE. Md, July IT,
Maryland State police are tickled
pink over the way radar is work
ing out as a means Of enforcing
speed laws. \
Statistically, since January z
of this year alone, the use of
radar has resulted in 1850 ar
rests and 1872 warnings by State
police who have caught motor
lists in their electronic eye ex-
ceeding speed limits.
But what pleases the State
troopers most is the way it has
slowed traffic to safer speeds,
particularly in the 80 m.p.h.
zones in the vicinity Of small
communities.
VERY definitely" says Col.
Elmer F. Munshower. the Mary
land State police superintendent,
"radar has slowed down the traf-
f1c in those (the 80 m.p.h.) vi
entities %
Four Sets in Operation.
Maryland has four radar sets
in operation and hopes to have
more. Locations vary from day
to day. even several times dur
ing the day, and have no rela-
ton to the speed checked by
radar" signs posted along the
highways.
Nor can a motorist, once he
has passed an installation along
the highway, relax and step on
the gas. He might run into
another one few miles farther
along the same route.
Maryland troopers customarily
operate the radar installations
with two teams, one at the site
of the device itself, the second
half mile down the road. When
the radar records a violation,
the trooper at that spot radios
description of the car to the
second man with instructions to
issue a ticket or a warning,
whichever is called for.
The use of radar went into
effect September s, 1852. The
operation Is as simple as taking
photograph. Micro-waves is
suing from the recording device
bounce of a car back to the
radar set. The difference in the
time these waves take from the
set to the car and back to the
set can be transmitted into miles

Public Welfare Asked
To Move Against
Ruciul Segregation

The Department Of Public
Welfare should take the lead in
ending segregation in private,
institutions here, George Flem-
ing. . Washington insurance
man, told the meeting Of the
Public Welfare Council yester-
day.
He said the welfare Depart
ment is paying private institu-
tons to care for children and
that most Of the institutions re-
fuse to take Negro children. The
money appropriated to the Wei
fare Department is not ear
marked specifically for white or
Negro children. he told the coun-
Gil, and I'VE cannot condone it
any longer"
Mr.. Fleming made his remarks
during a discussion of the new
baby broker law by Miss A.
Patricia Morss, welfare CONSUL
tant of the department. She
stressed the need for more insti-
tutions to care for colored
children and unwed mothers.
Views Situation as Whole.
zone of these days we will
have to look at this situation,
not as to colored or white, but
as people," he said. He said
the only institution for colored
unWed mothers is now closed.
A new building for the home is
being prepared.
Alexander Halves, vice chair
man of the Family and Child
Welfare Section of the United
Community Services, said the
public welfare grants should be
increased to 100 per cent of its
needs and that Congress should
appropriate an extra 10 per cent
to take care of increased de-
mands. He said the cuts imposed
on the welfare budget are hav-
ing a serious effect on the health
and morale Of those in need of
relief.
In other reports given the
council, the number of juvenile
repeaters, going from the Dis
trict's Industrial Home Schools
to the Federally operated Ma
tional Training School for Boys,
was pointed up.
Statistics indicated that Of
191 District offenders at the ma
.tional institution on January I,
103 previously had been at the
home schools.
OF this number, Is were from
the Industrial Home School for
white, and the rest from the
Industrial Home School for coll
ored.
Stay Called Inadequate.
At the latter institution, We'll
fare Director Gerard M. Shea
commented. "the average length
of stay continues to be APP
proximately three and q half
months, which obviously is not
adequate, and from which the
children receive very little bene-
it," Lack of space has been
factor in releasing the young
SterS.
Besides the 1911 District boys
at the National Training School
on January l, there were $50
other District juveniles COM
mitted there, but transferred by
the Federal Bureau of Prisons
to other institutions.
Other statistics indicated that
the number of District boys at
the National Training School or
other Federal institutions went
up from 242 in September, 1852.
to 342 in March. 1854.
