Border Liquor Patrol
Makes Arrests Good;
Three Forfeit in Court

The Maryland border liquor
patrol made its first three ar
rests stand UP in court today.
The defendants. charged with,
Illegally importing liquor from
the District, forfeited $27.50
each in Silver Spring police
court.
Robert N. Lucke. agent In
charge of the revenuers, identi-
fed the defendants as:
Conner T. Mcneil, 36, Of the
1900 block of Closton drive,
Herbert B. Miracle, SO, of the
100 block of Croydon court, both
of Silver Spring. and George H.
Mowbry, 81. of Brinklow, in
Montgomery County near Tri-
delphia dam.
WhiSkies C0nfiscated.
Mr.. Lucke arrested the two
Silver Spring men December 16.
He said he followed their car
on Georgia avenue across the
District line.
He confiscated two and one
half cases of whisky. bought for
an Office party. he said.
Mr.. Mowbry was arrested De-
cember 10. Mr.. Lucke said he
conf1scated II fifths of whisky.
The agent pointed out that
State law permits confiscation
of the vehicle used to transport
liquor illegally. Sentences can
run UP to two years in the
House of Correction plus a 81 900
fine.
Limit One Quart at Time.
Maryland residents are per-
mitted to carry only one quart
of foreign" alcoholic beverages
including beer-into the State
at one time. They are permitted
only two quarts a month of such
beverages which do not bear
State tax stamps.
With liquor, beer and wine
much cheaper in the District
than in Maryland, the State says
it is losing tens of thousands of
dollars in revenue a year be-
cause Maryland residents are
buying their drinks in WASH
ington.

Students Released
With Apologies After
Detention as Reds
BY The Assoeiosed Press

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla,
Jan. 5.-Two University Of To-
ronto students detained here for
48 hours for investigation of
Communist activities have been
released by immigration author
titles with apologies.
Joseph Savoretti. district i'm
migration supervisor in Maimi,
said yesterday after the release
that 1T was case of mistaken
identity-one Of those things
that sometimes happens when
two names are very similar"
The students, Edward Rogers
and William Boultbee. were
taken off Mackey Airlines
plane on arrival here Saturday
from Nassau. where they spent
the holidays. They had been
placed in custody of the airline
pending a hearing.
McCarran Act Quoted.
The students said they were
interviewed by immigration In
spector Louis Daboll on their
arrival here.
In reply to Mr.. Daboll's ques-
tions, they said they told him
they were members of the Pro-
greSsive Conservative Party in
Canada. He then looked into a
little black book" and told them
IN have to detain you both
under the McCarran Act" Mr..
Rogers said.
An official of the United States
Embassy in Ottawa said Mr.. Da-
boil probably mistook the Pro-
gressive Conservative Party for
the Labor-Progressive (Commu-
nist) Party.
In Washington. Henry Suy-
dam. State Department press
officer. said the name of one of
the students was identical
with the name Of another indi-
vidual for whom there was a
lookout card" He did not say
which one. The Canadian En-
bassy called the error to the at
tention of the Immigration
Service. he said.
Mr.. Savoretti declined to elab-
crate on the mistaken identity"
angle. He said. I'VE were looking
for other people with similar
names but that's something I
can't say any more about right
now"
Mr.. Rogers and Mr.. Boultbee
said they were given no further
explanation on their detention.
Weren't Shown Form.
1T was all mistake" Mr..
Rogers said. "and we have no
hard feelings. The airline did
everything possible to make us
comfortable"
Mr.. Rogers said the students
were taken to an inner Office
and Mr.. Daboll wanted us to
sign a form under oath, but he
wouldn't let us see the FORM"
Mr.. Savoretti said the boys
had misunderstood the inspector.
They were asked to answer a
few questions and then sign the
statement" he said. 1T was just
a misunderstanding on their
part"

Virginia Challenges
Arlington 5 Right 10
Attack Milk Pricing

Arlington County's effort In
the Supreme Court to stop the
Virginia Milk Commission from
fixing prices OF milk sold in Ar
lington by District distributors
today hinged largely on the legal
right Of the county board to at
tack the commission.
The question assumed major
proportions as oral arguments
ended late yesterday. It had not
arisen in State court proceed
ings. It had been barely men,
toned In q last-minute para
graph In a brief fled last week
by State officials.
Chief Justice Warren asked
Attorney Roger j. Whiteford to
submit q supplementary written
statement on that point within
a week. Mr.. Whiteford. a WASH
ington attorney. was retained by
Virginia Attorney General j.
Lindsay Almond to represent the
State.
MIR. Whiteford promised to
show that this little institu-
ton (the county board) that
could be wiped out by the Legis-
lature at any time has no stand
ing to come into this court and
attack the State commission
which Is an arm of the legis-
lature."
The original issue was whether
the Virginia Court of Appeals
properly held that Ihe State
commission in 1851 validly or
dered an increase Of half a cent
a quart in prices of milk sold to
Arlington County consumers by
District distributors. About two
thirds of the milk consumed in
that area comes from District
distributors.
Malcolm D. Miller. attorney
for the county board, contended
that such fixing of minimum
prices by the State commission
was illegal because it was an un-
due burden" on interstate COM
merce.
Justice Frankfurter wanted to
know exactly what burden was
placed on interstate commerce
by the State commissions price
order. He remarked that it did
not seem to keep out competitors.
discriminate between outsiders
and insiders. or prevent milk
from flowing into Virginia.
Mr.. Miller replied that price
regulation by the State commits
sion In this instance was essen
italy an interference or hin
drance In an interstate commerce
area.
Mr.. Whiteford denied that the
sale Of milk by District distribu-
tors to Arlington County con-
sumers was really interstate COM
merce. He declared that the
State has a duty as well as legal
right to regulate prices.

lens, were told more industries
are needed in the county to in
crease revenues.
Morris Allen, executive director
of the Montgomery County Tax
payers, Inc. told the meeting
that residential property does not
pay its way in taxes. He urged
that the county open up more
areas to commercial and light
industrial use in order to obtain
the revenues needed to hire bet
ter teachers.
DR.. Forbes H. Boris. county
superintendent of schools, de-
scribing how the county might
meet the teacher problem, said
the school system might be made
so attractive that teachers would
be taken from other areas.

ming Committee for Metropoli-
tan Washington still favors a
bridge at E street across the Po-
tomac
This position was aff1rmed at
q flve-hour closed meeting Of the
committee yesterday. Engineer
Commissioner Louis w. Prentiss
was to be notified today.
Gen. PrentiSS was also due to
hear discussion of the Potomac
Bridge controversy at session
with the Citizens Advisory Plan
ming Council later today.
The action Of the regional
committee in effect was a re-
lection of the report to the Vir-
ginia State Highway Commission
by a consulting flrm. Wilbur
Smith and Associates. The Smith
report favored Reaches Run for
the bridge site.
NCPC Decision Tomorrow.
The National Capital Planning
Commission had deferred a de-
ciSion on the Potomac River
bridge controversy until tomor-
row to hear what the regional
planning group had to say about
the Smith report. In the regional
groups 6-to-1 vote to stick with
the E street site yesterday, the
only dissenting vote was cast by
the representative of the Nation
al Capital Planning Commission.
The NCPC staff favors Reaches
Run rather than E street but the
commission itself has never
taken a position on the site.
Virginia highway representa-
tiveS have not acted on the
Smith report. but in the voting
yesterday the Virginia member
went along with the E street site.
Outer Belt Bridges Supported.
The regional planning group
also renewed its support for
bridges across the Potomac at
Jones Point and Cabin John to
tie in with the proposed Outer
Belt. but stressed that the E
street bridge should have prior
ity in construction. The Smith
report did not favor these other
two bridges.
! Oficials at yesterdays session
said there was insufficient time
to analyze the entire Smith re-
port. but the group heard repre-
Sentatives of the Smith organi-
zation and Virginia highways
and discussed what they had to
say. The attitude of the regional
planning group was one of dis
agreement with the report as
far as the bridge crossings and
some other proposals were con-
!cerned.
The regional planning group
is headed by Samuel r. Harrison.

ways, and includes Maryland and

Lonhom Sewers Costly

Harry Shaw. chief engineer
Of the Washington Suburban

than so families of the Lanham
(Md) area last night that sewers
for the community pose an ur-
gent but costly problem for the
commission.
Mr.. Shaw said sewer service
can be provided for the area
either by extending an existing
line from West Lanham Heights
along Defense highway, or by
building new trunk line across
country from College Park
through the new Carrollton SUBJ
division. Either plan would
solve the problem without ad-
ditional pumping equipment. he

The Letter Box

an accelerated depreciation for
tax purposes on newly construct
ed school facilities, similar to the
federal laws on defense plants,
etc. 1t is obvious that, with the
rapid increase in the population,
the already almost prohibitive
costs of new construction and
the attendant costs of mainten-
ance and operation, the Public
School System is on the road to
bankruptcy and to swallow the
complete economy. Old timers
are beginning to leave the
county.
These matters must be given
a review and close study entire
ly apart from the customary
narrow annual struggle with the
problem. No real progress is be-
ing made in solving the basic
problem, which is the now prin-
cipal element in this county in
the running of a disproportion-
ate percentage of the total in
come of society through the var
ious echelons of the public treas
uries, with the inevitable tend
ancy and eventuation of waste
and other ills.
That there must be a solution
entirely different from the late
ones is apparent-there is no
more "free" public and, in this
county, to support schools, if
there ever was. A fresh approach
is required.
Roads and schools have us by
the throat. Will we continue to
acknowledge helplessnesS? These
two elements are only parts of
the entire economy. We must
relegate them to a prudent and
seasoned place in the whole
scheme of modern life.
