Arlington Keeps
Police on Cars

The Arlington County Board
yesterday reaff1rmed its policy
against using unmarked police
cruisers after a blast by one of
its members. Wesley w. Cooper.
against subjecting county citi-
zens to further harrassment."
An Arlington Safety Council
recommendation for using un-
marked cars was turned down by
the board as an "unwanted in
trusion upon the rights of Ar
lington citizens"
Mr.. Cooper said Arlington
operates one of the most fabu-
lous fine-collecting agencies in
traffic history. Since Arlington
citizens are already put through
financial wringer in our traffic
court to the tune of $172,000 a
year, see no basis for subjecting
them to further harrassment.
Use of unmarked police cruisers
was discontinued several years
ago, County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg said. The board yesterday
upheld the policy unanimously.
The board authorized partici-
patton in a Washington area
mass transportation study, au-
thorized by Congress. The Ma
tional Capital Regional Planning
Council had asked all jurisdic-
tions to submit written reports
by their planning staffs on their
