That day when Judy piled

They were hunting on the TO
acre Walnut Hill Farm, owned
by Donald j. CLANCY, chief
counsel for Fish and Wildlife.
Also along. enjoying his
first assignment as a tracker
and retriever, was Butchy,
their black cocker spaniel.
The morning was crisp and
sunny, the green and brown
countryside blended against
a blue sky which provided a
backdrop for distant Sugar
Loaf Mountain. AS it turned
out, the day was full of laughs
but not much game.
Butchy valiantly nosed
along in search of quail,

underbrush and thickets.

Court UphoIds Right to Repair
Roads Without County's OK.

The outgoing Montgomery
County Council on election eve
yesterday took a legal spanking
from Circuit Court Judge Sted-
man Prescott as he ruled that 4
Rockville developer has the right
to repair roads in his subdivision
without county approval.
Judge Prescott said he found
no precedent where the officials,
whose duty it is to keep in proper
repair roads and streets accepted
for public use and maintenance,
refused to maintain the same,
yet threaten to prosecute those
who are willing to do so at their
own expense"
Neither, he added, had he been
referred to any Of the millions
Of cases decided in this country
which might influence his de-
ciSion.
The case involved Marvin w.
Simmons. president of three de-
velopment corporations in Glen
Hills subdivision.
Judge Prescott criticized the
county for threatening to prose-
cute Mr.. Simmons for maintain
ing roads the county has refused
to maintain. Legal action dates
back to July, 1853, when Mr..
Simmons was arrested on a war
rant sworn out by the county.
It later was dropped.
The courts opinion noted that
the streets in Glen Hill were
built without q permit as was
required by law after 1941. The
opinion said that between 1850
and 1858 the corporation '.kept

Citizens Group Votes
To WATCH BusIine

The West Montgomery County
Citizens Association, which met
last night at the Potomac (Md.}
School, decided to watch closely
the operations Of the new bus
, line serving the area.
I'VE merely took note that the
new company has taken over and
we will stay in a watchdog capa-
city," said President Drexel A.
Sprecher.
Thomas Parran, jr., doing bus
mess as the Silver Spring Tran
sit Co., yesterday took over two
new routes in nearby Maryland.
They replace the service given
for the past year by the Balti-
more g. Annapolis Railroad Co.,
which operated over the old BIZ
son Lines routes. The Interstate
Commerce Commission ruled the
B. & A. firm could not perma-
nently acquire the routes, be-
cause they were not aQJunctS
to it's railroad operations between
Baltimore and Annapolis. So
B. & A. dropped out of the pic
ture Sunday.
For a time, the communities
served by B. & A. between WASH
ington and Rockville. via Ken
wood and Potomac and between
Washington and Massachusetts,
avenue extended, around to its
intersection with River road,
were threatened with entire loss
of bus service. But the Silver
Spring Transit Co. was given
ICC authority quickly to fill the
vacancy.

the streets in pretty good repair
without molestation." Judge
Prescott described Mr.. Simmons
arrest as coming about in "a
rather unprecedented manner"
and said that at the time there
was no ordinance or requirement
in the road code that required a
permit to maintain or repair q
road although one was required
to build a new road.
The court sharply criticized an
amendment to the road code
passed last May to bar .individ-
uals from repairing or maintain
ing q road and said the motives
of the County Council were "un-
concealed but questionable"
Judge Prescott said the mo-
tives were to force property
owners to permit roads and
streets to deteroriate to the point
Of inpassability and then the
county would force them to re-
pair the roads to meet the min
imum requirements of the road
code.
The opinion appeared to knock
the props from under one of the
principal methods the county
has used to force the construc-
ton or reconstruction Of all
roads in conformity with road
eide requirements.
The action was brought be-
fore the court by the develop
n1ent corporation In an effort
to block the county from pre-
venting Mr.. Simmons repairing
the roads which are not up to
the minimum standards estab-
lished BY law.

Drops Ban on
Anne ArundeI
Prince Georges Chief
Protested Threat
By Policemen

Richard F. Hughes, CHIEF OF
the Prince Georges County Res
cue Squad Association, has
called OF his ban on providing
ambulance service in Anne
Arundel County because Of ale
legged threats against squad
members by an Anne Arundel
policeman.
He did so last night, but at
least two rescue squads Glenn
Dale and Upper Marlboro lift
ed the ban earlier. ~ -
Mr.. Hughes announcement
came as the Anne Arundel Coun.
|ty police examiners board pre-.
pared to look into the COM
plants for themselves. The
board has scheduled a hearing
for tomorrow night.
The ban, disclosed by Mr..
Hughes last Saturday, was lifted,
he said, because he ''felt we had
gotten enough publicity in our
favor" He added that while
there had been no calls to Anne
Arundel County since Saturday.
he believed "it was not the com.
pulsory thing to penalize the
public for one erring policeman"
Complains to Officials.
Mr.. Hughes. a member of the
Branchville Rescue Squad who
is this years chief Of the county,
wide association, complained in
letter to Anne Arundel officials
that a county policeman accused
members of the Bowie Rescue
Squad of being drunk when they
responded to an accident on the
night Of September 6.
He charged the officer "be-
came abusive and threatened to
lock them up the next time they
came into Anne Arundel Coun-
ty." Mr.. Hughes said the men
had not been drinking and or
dered rescue squads to stay out
Of Anne Arundel until an apol-
ogy was received. He said he
was still waiting for an answer.
Meanwhile, a protest against
the Glenn Dale Fire Association.
Inc. In a letter to The Star
today, he said the association
feels that its reputation and
good name was jeopardized In
the recent article published in
your newspaper"
He added: "The action taken
by Chief Hughes -. was taken
without prior knowledge or
authorization by this association
with regards to the incident on
Labor Day in Anne Arundel
County. A
Cites Long Service.
"This Association and Rescue
Squad has been in existence
since 1923, and has for over Is
years served and shall continue
to serve any or all parts of Anne
Arundel County or any person
regardless of what county. city
or State in which they reside IL
they are in need Of assistance.
This is the purpose for which
we were organized-to save and
protect life and property"
Anne Arundel police at Edge
water also reported they re-
ceived a call Sunday night from
Capt. William WEIGH of the
Upper Marlboro Rescue Squad
saying they likewise would con-
tinue to answer calls in that
county when needed.
Frank Brigulio. director of the
county fire control boards at
Hyattsville and Seat Pleasant,
said he has instructed both
boards to resume dispatch serv-
ice to. Anne Arundel County.

FBI Ends Another InterIude
OfLuxuryfor Suove Con Man
Benedict's Pen
Put Aside Again,
But 1t Was Fun
By Hermon F. Schoden

The high old life of Lucian
Howe Benedict. con man extra
ordinary, was interrupted again
today because the FBI has an
agent who can spot the high, old
livers a mile away.
Mr.. Benedict, every inch a
gentleman as long as he can
write a check, yielded with good
grace as he mulled over the bet
ter things in the coffee shop of
the May1ower Hotel.
He gently picked up his $50
hat, tidied his immaculate BUSH
ness suit, and with a sigh of
regret began the departure from
the easy world he loves so well
for the dank atmosphere of the
prisons he knows equally well.
It has been one or other for
Lucian Howe Benedict for nearly
two score years-the height of
luxury or the depths of austerity.
Known in Best Prisons.
Since 1921, when he took his
first rap for grand larceny, Ben
edict has been in and out of at
least five different prisons, in
GLIDING Sing Sing and San
Quentin. Now 81, he has seen
a lot of life inside the walls.
But during those interludes
away from society, he never lost
the charm the arresting FBI
agent called 1.-The most engaging
I have ever SEEN" And the
agent knows about con men, for
he also is credited with arrest
ing Frederick Emerson Peters.
another moSt-wanted slicker,
several months ago.
Only last February Benedict
left the Ohio State Prison on
parole, apparently considered
cured of his love for the high
life. In May he landed in Wash
ington, ordered 10 double rooms
and a personal parlor suite at
the Willard Hotel. He explained
to a hotel executive--he never
dealt with lesser fry-that the
space was needed for a conven-
ton of airline sales managers.
And by the way, he just hap
pened to need a little cash.
No Strain at All.
Benedict used couple of
aliases, picked up local bank
checks. and with no strain at all
helped himself to the worldly
goods offered by hotels and
shops. He never stayed in a city
more than a day and a night,
but found time to join clubs and
otherwise pick up suitable iden-
LITIGATION papers.
Chatting with the FBT, he adj
mitted cashing bogus checks in
A States all but Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont and Flor
ida.
After his most recent prison
experience, he decided on a Sun
Valley vacation, but was forced
