Montgomery Docket
Piles Up With Five
Vacancies Untitled

Montgomery County personnel
at the Bethesda Trial Magis-
trate's Office today had to send
away about a dozen defendants
in search of judge.
The term of Oscar j. See, for.
mer Bethesda Trial Magistrate,
expired at midnight and, because
of a legislative tangle, no one
was appointed to replace him
and the four other county magis-
trates.
Mrs. Louise B. Harding, whose
term as magistrates clerk in
Bethesda also expired. said 300
cases had been docketed for to-
day. Most involved minor traf-
f1c offenses on which collateral
would be forfeited.
Although the County Council
and the Governor plan to provide
magistrates by the end of the
week, the three-week delay was
necessary because of the rotating
duty hours of county policemen.
Judges Available June Is
Under a law passed by the
Maryland General Assembly at
its last session, the county will
have three Peoples Court judges
beginning June Is to replace the
former Trial Magistrates. No
provision was made to have the
temporary magistrates serve in
the interim.
Among the defendants hoping
for prompt justice today was
Mrs. Dolores j. Carlo, "a, a
housewife who was charged
Wednesday with going through
a stop sign. Mrs. Carlo might
have forfeited collateral but says
she is not guilty and hired q
baby-sitter in order to come to

Meanwhile, former Trial Mag

scheduled to be heard at 1880
pm. today in Rockville. He said
he will appear in the court to-
day but that arbitration is pos

Big Play Center
Project Set at
-Four Mile Run
z Bridges Planned,
A-Acre Swamp
To Be Transformed

Plans are in the works in Alex
andria for widening Four Mile
Run. building two new bridges
across the stream and for trans
forming a 44-acre swamp into
a recreational area.
First on the agenda is con-
struction Of a $15G,000 bridge to
replace the present structure on
Mount Vernon avenue. This JOINT
project of Alexandria and Ar
ington is expected to get under
way this summer.
The present 32-foot bridge will
give way to a 240-foot structure.
The project is designed primarily
as a flood control measure to
prevent water from backing up
behind the bridge during heavy
rains and flooding the Arlandria
| area.
The second project for which
100000 already has been made
available is a bridge at Glebe
road. This 130-foot bridge would
replace the present structure
which is 80 feet long and wide
enough for only one car. It
would eliminate a sharp curve
in the road.
Due to Start Next Year
The Glebe road bridge project
is expected to be started next
year. according to Philip Hall,
director of public works.
Mr.. Hall said funds are being
included in proposed bond
issue for the widening of the
streams channel. This is ex-
pected to cost between $4,000
and 100000 and is primarily a
flood control project.
Mr.. Hall said a wider channel
would permit water to run off
faster during heavy rains.
The Alexandria Sanitation Au-
thority plans to build sewage
pumping station on Common
wealth avenue which would pre-
vent raw sewage from running
into the stream and stagnating
in the swamp area.
These projects are preliminary
to the plans which have been
worked out for Transforming the
swamp into a recreation area
complete with a lagoon for boat
ing.
With the approval of the
Planning Commission, three de-
partments - planning, public
works and recreation-have de-
vised a program for developing
the area along the stream be-
tween Mount Vernon and Com
monwealth avenues.
Tidal Gate Planned
Plans call for the construction
of a tidal gate near jefferson
Davis highway to back I'D the
water level for a 25-acre lake.
The swamp, which lies below the
level Of the Potomac River and
cannot be drained, would be
cleaned and mud from the bot
tom would be built up into a
3-foot wall around the lagoon.
Nearby will be tennis courts,
a swimming pool, parking lot and
other recreational facilities in
the area of the new Cora Kelley
School.
Mr.. Cahill said the project,
which would cost $780, 900, prob
ably is a long way in the future.
No funds are available now and
are not being contemplated for
the next bond issue. he said.
Mr.. Cahill said the project
would create an appropriate
greeting card" for the entrance
to the city and would eliminate
a health menace.

BALTIMORE, May 2 (SpeciaD i.
Plans for arraignment and pre-
liminary proceedings against SIS
defendants in antitrust proceed
ings involving boycott of the
Montgomery liquor dispensary
were announced today in Federal
Court here.
Arraignments had been sched-
uled for Friday of this week. The
new plan permits defendants to
appear through counsel on any
Friday up to June II, or in the
four-day period of June 27 to 80.
Instead of a mass arraignment,
the new plan permits defendants
and counsel to appear at their
convenience, since defendants in
clude corporations and individu-
ais from Canada and many
States.
Fourteen big distilling con-
Germs, seven Maryland whole
salers, three trade associations
and 81 individuals are defendants
in the case. It charges conspir-
acy to violate the Sherman anti
trust act in distribution of alco-
holic beverages in Maryland, and
particularly in establishing a
boycott to prevent Montgomery
County liquor stores from buying
directly from distillers.
Judge Roszel c. Thomson has
given defendants until June 80
to file preliminary motions, has
given the Government until July
81 to supply detailed information
requested by defendants, and has
set September 6 for a preliminary
hearing on disputed points.
The trial consequently will not
be held before late autumn. Oc-
tober Is has been set as final date
for entry of all pre- trial proceed
ings. The actual trial date has
