Parents Responsibility

Selection of television pro-
grams for children is a parent s

derstanding as to what is good
and what isn't.

Roads Probe Clash
Star Stan Photo

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 14.-With
time running out and work pill
ing up. two closely matched fac
tions in the Maryland Senate
sped toward another head-on
clash today over whether the
State Roads Commission should
be investigated.
Members of both groups in
dicated this showdown vote on
the issue. the first item of busi-
ness after the Legislature re-
convenes at 8 pm, will be the
last.
Several say they are weary Of
the parliamentary jockeying
which accompanied two earlier
votes on the bill, which was
sponsored by Democratic leaders
but has received support from
only about two-thirds of the 81
Democratic Senators.
Join in Stalling Drive
The others have joined the
virtually solid eight-man Re-
publican membership in stalling
the drive for a $4,000 investiga-
ton of the commissions opera
tions, with special emphasis on
the 12-year. $3.50 million roads
program approved by the 1853
Legislature.
Four of six Democrats who
have voted with Republicans in
opposing the bill were reported
over the week end to be consider
ing a move to have study Of
the commission made by the
Fiscal Research Bureau.
The proposal now before them
calls for the job 10 be done by
a special 10-man committee Of
legislators armed with powers
to subpoena commission records
and officials as witnesses.
Proposal In House
The House of Delegates already
has received a proposal for a
roads study by the Fiscal Re-
search Bureau. whose chief job
has been providing lawmakers
and other officials with figures
on the States financial picture.
Senator Goodman, Democrat.
of Baltimore. said he was one
of four Democrats considering
sponsorship of an identical bill
in the Senate.

BALTIMORE, Mar. 14.-Two
prominent men in the admins
tration of Gov. McKeldin-one
Republican like the Governor,
the other a Democrat-stand a
good chance of losing their jobs
soon, according to some political
observers.
The Baltimore Sun. quoting
Informed sources in Annapolis, "
said Chairmen John H. Hessey
of the Public Service Commits
sion and Russell H. Mccain of
the State Roads Commission are
the men in precarious positions.
Mr.. Hessey, a Democrat, is a
holdover from the administra-
ton of former Gov. Lane. The
Sun said "Hessey's term is ex-
piring this spring and it is as
certain as anything can be in
politics that Gov. McKeldin will
name a Republican to succeed
him"
Want Republican Named
Republicans were unhappy
when the Governor reappointed
Frank H. Harper, another DEM
ocrat. to the PSC and left it in
Democratic control, the paper
said. The State G. o. P. is now
insisting that a Republican be
named to succeed Mr.. Hessey,

National Gallery Range Aims
To Keep Bullets From Art

The National Art Gallery has
a shooting gallery, making it
probably the only cathedral of
culture in the world accommo-
dating both painters and pistol
eers.
The pistol range, high above
Constitution avenue NV, is
used by gallery guards and men
from the private agency which
watchdogs the gallery's burglar
alarms.
Heavily sound-proofed, the
range walls prevent ordnance
noise from annoying aesthetics
downstairs. Sand, brick. armor-
plate and thick mats keep bull
lets away from the statues, oils
and art lovers.
The range was built shortly
after the gallery opened.
1--WE have about 5000 million
worth of art right out where peo-
pie can touch it," a gallery Off
cial explained, land we need
some sort of safeguard"
About so per cent of the
guards pack guns on duty. under
their coats. Should they ever
have to start shooting in the ex-
hibition rooms. they'd better aim
straight. the official said. There
are few quicker ways to ruin
pictures than by shooting them
full of bullet holes"
During World War II, the
range was used by WAVES,
WACS, Marines, Coast Guards
men and the Navy. Experts con-
slider it one of the finest in the
area.

Alexandra Officials
Seek New Audit Firm
To Speed Up Reports

Alexandria is preparing to dis
continue use of the auditing firm
that has been saying unpleasant
things about city finances the
last 90 years.
City Manager Ira Willard be-
lieves the State Auditor of Pub
lie Accounts could do the job
quicker at no extra cost.
He recommended use Of the
State auditors at last Tuesdays
council meeting and he said he
expected the matter to be voted
on at the next council session.
A majority of the seven-member
council has indicated approval.
Complains of Delay
Mr.. Willard explained that the
firm of Ernst & Ernst, which has
been checking city finances for
two decades. has had a long
agreement to do the
audit at its leisure.
AS a result of this arrange
ment, the City Council did not
receive the 1854 audit in written
form until last Tuesday. Mem
bers of council were startled to
find the same old complaints
about financial difficulties in the
construction division of the Pub
lie Works Department-prob-
lens which the council thought
it already had begun to solve.
The council acted to correct
the difficulties last summer after
it received a preliminary report
Of the 1854 audit in conjunction
with a Government administra-
tive survey.
Two Items Irk. Council
The two principal complaints
Of the audit were that the city
has lost approximately $63, 900 in
the last five years by underesti-
mating the cost of street and
sidewalk construction done by
city forces for developers, and
the perennial complaint about
inventory shortages in the con-
struction$ section-this time in
grease and oil amounting to
$4,000.
1--WE hope these things don't
show up in any more audits,"
said Mr.. Willard. "The council
months ago decided to get out
of the construction business and
gradually we are shifting over
to a program of having devel-
opers put in their own streets and
sidewalks, according to our spe-
cifications."
Mr.. Willard pointed out that
two big municipal construction
jobs recently were awarded to
private contractors.

Ten dig way out of Washington state penitentiury

WALLA WALLA, Wash. (P) Al mother murderer and nine other tough inmates of the tu- undertaken Washington State penitentiary escaped last night after week of tunneling thru seven inches of concrete and 30 feet of earth.
 The escape was discovered at a 7::3O p, m change of guards, an estimated two hours after the 10 men had crawled through the 30-inch wide, tun- mel to liberty just outside the west wall.
 Early today, despite a wide spread cordon of scores of po- ice assisted by four blood hounds. no trace of the men had been found except tracks a half mile from the gaping
 
 hole in the prison side.
 The tracks. led into the sur rounding rolling wheatlands.
 Back in the prison the guards found a neat circular slab chiseled from the Finch thick concrete floor of one ot the cells. It led into an unused dirt floor basement. The 30- foot-long tunnel started there running straight as a die 10 the exit point.
 Only a few hand made dig ging tools were left behind The dirss apparently had beer flushed down prison toilets 2 bit at a time. Guards said the ibig chunk of concrete probably had been replaced each day by the felons after night of dig ging.

Coust Guard plane joins local plane,

What was regarded early yes terday as a typical juvenile re- bellion against established au- thority grew into a grim search by late afternoon when two local high school boys were still missing in a borrowed can ne.
 Richard George Crueger, Is, son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Crueger, and Donald Noreen, 16, son Of Mr. and Mrs. E. w. Noreen. were the object of a widespread search following their disappearance from their Jamestown Bay homes in the early morning hours Thursday
 Available evidence indicated the two lads had equipped their borrowed canoe with sleeping bags. rifles. pack boards and some food, prior to leaving.
 By la.e afternoon a half doz- en boats were out searching nearby shores and bays for the missing youths. Dick Pherson made two aerial flights, scan ming the shores as far as Whale Bay and into Salisbury Straits He also checked all cabins in the areas for signs of smoke or occupancy.
