A 1921 bill for repairing a
cayed-in sidewalk has stirred a
minor storm between the Dis
trict and Federal governments.
On behalf of the Federal Gov
ernment, the General Services
Administration has refused to
pay the District for fixing a
sidewalk that caved in over a
steam tunnel from the central
heating plant on Pennsylvania
avenue eat of Sixth street NV.
The commissioners referred
the case to the corporation coun-
sci. They acted on the request
Of j. N Robertson. director of
highways who said:
1--WE are deeply concerned be-
cause the establishment of this
precedent may also involve SIM
liar repairs occasioned by utility
company facilities and service
connections of other District de-
partments.
The regional counsel of GSA
disapploved the 1921 bill. The
GSA cited court case in which
it was held that although title
to the streets and sidewalks be-
long to the Federal Govern
ment, the duty of repairing them

Court Bill to Be Revised
For Tokomo Park Sittinqs
By a S.ar stoff Correspondent.

Dv q oIuF otoII correspondent.
ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 2.-The
legislation creating a peoples
court for Montgomery County is
being amended today to assure
that the court sit once a week
in Takoma Park.
That amendment is a symbol
of victory for some so Takoma
Park residents and officials, who
drove here last night in a 15-car
motorcade to argue for continu-
alton of one-day-a-week lower
court in their city. Now a county
trial magistrate sits in ,Takoma
Park on Thursdays.
Under the so-called peoples
court that would be created by
bill introduced in the Mary
land Legislature by the Mont
gomery County delegation. two
full-time judges would sit on
rotating schedule at Silver
Spring, Bethesda and Rockville.
A third full-time judge would
handle juvenile cases.
Delegate Gilbert Guide, the
lone Republican in the Mont
gomely House bloc, joined with
the Frederick delegation in spon-
soring a bill to give Maryland
voting privileges to residents IF

School Bus Blaze,
ImperiIing 70, Laid TO
Dragging Gas Tank

A dragging gas tank caused
yesterdays fire in a school bus
taking l9 children to afternoon
kindergarten classes, f1remen
said today.
The driver and the children
were pulled to safety by passing
motorists who smashed the bus
windows with their fists. None
was hurt in the fire, although
the three rescuers suffered hand
cuts when they broke the win
dows.
Tt was a miracle they got
out" the driver, Ambrose M.
Murphy, AZ, of 10ll1 McKenney
avenue, Silver Spring, Md. said
later, referring to the children.
"God must have been with
them"
The bus was taking the chill
dren to classes at the st. Canil-
lus Parochial School. 1900 st.
Camillus drive, Silver Spring,
when it burst into flame about
lis pm. in the $500 block of
New Hampshire avenue.
Firemen said supports on the
gas tank .loosened, causing it to
sag to the ground. They said
apparently sparks from the fric-
ton of the dragging tank
touched off the fire. Fresh
scratches, 261 feet long, we're
found on the roadway back of
the burned-out bus.
First to see the smoke and
flames rolling from under the
bus was Alfred l.. Fleming, 81,
of 1906 Overlook drive, Hillan-
dale, Md.
At about that time, another
car, containing John H. Davis,
chief chef at the Cedarcroft
Sanitarium near Burtonsville,
Md, and Roland SemmenS, 81,
of San Bernardino, Calf, who
was visiting Mr.. Davis, pulled
to a stop.
The men said the rescue took
only about 2 minutes.
None of the children was hurt.
After they were rescued they
were put into automobiles and
driven on to school by nearby
residents.
The bus was one of two spe-
cially built vehicles delivered to
the Suburban Transit Co. of Sill
yer Spring less than a year ago.

Called for in Fairfax Budget

would account for SIS million
of the total county budget in
crease.
Another big increase would be
for the police department. A
total of $523. .535 is recommended.
This compares with S4i2,065
budgeted in the current year.
A 100000 increase also is
set up for the planning depart
ment. giving it total of s212,-
524.
The 1856 budget is figured
on a total assessment of S265
million. The assessment used
for 1954-55 was $3.50 million. A
S650.000 surplus expected at the
end of this fiscal year also has
helped hold the possible tax in

prise the supervisors of the pos
sible tax increase before a def
mite budget proposal is made. He
said he hoped to have a final
budget proposal in hand one
week from today. after the
School Board submits its final
budget proposal.
Most of the big items in his
tentative budget were put in at
the supervisors request.

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. "A S50,-
900 investigation of the Mary
land Welfare Department. with
the ann of revising present well
fare policies and procedures, is
proposed in bill being intro
duced in the State Legislature
today.
Delegate Hervey G. Machen,
Democrat, of Prince Georges,
who headed a committee which
investigated welfare procedures
in his own county in 1852, is the
sponsor.
Under his bill. a nine-member
commission would study the
Welfare Department and report
back to the Legislature. The
commission would be appointed,
three apiece, by the Governor,
Senate President and Speaker of
the House. The commission
would be provided with up to
$4,000 for expenses.
Sees Reins Held Tight.
Mr.. Machen said he believes
the State holds too tight a rein
over county welfare departments,
although counties supply
about so per cent of the money
expended" he added. they have
little on no voice in the choice
of welfare. personnel, in estab-
fishing basic policy or in requir-
ing practical accountability and
reporting
Recent reports by his own
study committee, the Sobelof1
Commission on Administrative
Organization of the State ano
other study groups have recon-
mended, he said, that private anG
public welfare service agencies
be co-ordinated, that welfare
boards be locally appointed ano
have more local authority ano

visory and not administrative
bodies.
