Capital Transit Wins
Unsafe Tires Case

Municipal Court Judge Andrew
j. Howard, jr.. today acquitted
the Capital Transit Co. Of a
charge of operating a bus with
unsafe tires after District in
spectors testified that the tread
or lack of tread is not the de-
termining factor in inspections.
The charge was brought about
after a transit bus early this
month struck the rear of a taxi
cab while skidding to a stop.
The bus driver, Clifford Rice of
140 Temple Village. Alexandria,
testified in court that he could
not stop in time because the tires
on the bus were worn smooth.
In testimony today. Charles
w. Reed, supervising inspector
of motor vehicles for the De-
partment of Vehicles and Traf-
fic, testified the inspectors take
note of the condition of the side
and structure of the tire but the
tire tread or lack of tread is not
a consideration.
Raymond E. Sullivan. super
visor of the Southwest Inspec-
tion Station, testified the bus
tires are 14-ply and that only
one ply had worn off the rear
tires. He said that regulations
permit him to pass tires worn
down to four-ply.
Judge Howard declared that
the court could not challenge the
finding Of the inspection division
and found the company not
guilty..

Highway Program
BY the Assoeiosed Press

The American Automobile As
sociation told President Eisen-
!. hover today the 10-year road
development program set forth
by his Highway Committee "has
q pork barrel and political po-
tential of serious dimensions"
In a letter to Mr.. Eisenhower,
the AAA's president, Andrew j.
Sordoni of Wilkes-Barre, Pa,
said the big motorist organiza-
ton is all for a massive highway
program but is vigorously OPP
posed to some aspects of the re-
port filed by the committee
headed by Gen. Lucius D. Clay.
S10O Billion Program.
Mr.. Eisenhower is due to sub
nit to Congress Thursday his
recommendation for highway
program. expected to follow
closely the conclusions OF the
Clay committee. This called for
a $101 billion program over the
next decade. The biggest new
! feature proposed was 100000
mile network of interstate roads
to cost $27 billions. $25 billions
of which would be paid for by
a bond issue fioated by the Fed
eral Government.
The toll road features of the
Clay report drew the heaviest at
tack from Mr.. Sordoni, who said
the AAA was "irl complete ac-
cord with some important
aspects" Of the report.
The Clay plan would have the
Federal Government reimburse
: States for the amount of money
. they spend in building toll roads
that become sections of the
projected interstate network.
No Word on Toll Roads.
"It is not difficult to see that
this flood of Federal Revenue
that would be poured into some
States" Mr.. Sordoni wrote, "has
pork-barrel and political po-
tential of serious dimensions"
Mr.. Sordoni said the Clay
committee has not said a word
about returning toll roads to a
free basis.
The AAA said it opposed the
committees proposal to pay off
highway bonds by revenues COL
lected from gasoline taxes and
other levies made on highway
users.

Was it the first meteorite to

was, william C. Cunningham. So,
will tell you 1t was mighty hot.
He was standing in his bed
room in suburban Darby Town
ship yesterday when he heard
a crash Of glass, turned and saw
a f1reball, about the size of a
grapefruit, bounce off an oil
heater to the floor. Then it
exploded.
Object ExplOdes Again.
His first thought was to throw
the object out the window. Mr..
Cunningham said.
1T was hot and heavy and
as I threw it, it blazed up and
seemed to disintregrate. Some
of it landed on the bed and
exploded again"
Mr.. Cunningham's right hand
was burned almost to the bone.
If the projectile had been
blasted off a comet, two prom
inent Philadelphia astronomers
said, it would be the first in his
tory to reach the ground still
af1ame.
Fire Marshal Francis x. Jo-
seph of Delaware County said it
might have been a meteorite.
He tested it with a 1,700-degree
fame from a propane torch, but
the object only glowed. He got
no reaction with a magnet.
