Rockville Youngsters
May Study in Mansion

The huge stone mansion is
surrounded by broad lawns,
ancient shade trees, formal box
wood gardens-and there's even
a pond that could double as a
swimming pool.
The interiors are rich with
fine paneling. ad-beamed oak
flooring and carved holdings.
Crystal chandeliers adorn several
of the rooms. Expensive brass
and wrought-iron hardware en-
hances the fine craftsmanship
of the mansion.
Since the historical society
bought the property a year ago
from DR.. James A. Lyon for
100000, Glen View has been
thrown open for community
meetings and dances.
Eventually it will be developed
into museum, replete with his
torical records and mementos of
Montgomery County and Mary
land.
The school board hopes that
the mansion. if leased, can be
returned to the historical society
in 1855.

The mansion is owned by the

Homer Bauserman, Democratic
candidate for the Virginia House
of Delegates from Arlington pre-
dicted that Arlington will get a
district office of the State High
way Commission in the near
future because of the growing
need for supervision of the roads
in this area.
Mr.. Bauserman, who has been
a spokesman for several groups
before the General Assembly. told
a group of South Arlington busi-
nessmen that Gov. Stanley will
initiate the action as the result
of growing pressure from all sides
to step up the Northern Virginia
road building program.
Il have been urging my friends
in Richmond for some time now
on this matter. particularly in be-
half of Arlington's highway
needs Mr.. Bauserman said
"The Tenth District needs a road
commissioner and I believe Ar
lington will soon see the removal
of authority for district roads
from the Culpepper Office"
Mr.. Bauserman, who was elected
sheriff in 1948, said that the high
way commission is finding the
areas road problems lacking in
satisfactory attention because of
the growth of the Tenth District
and the tremendous work load on
the Culpepper Office.
The improvements needed on
Fairfax drive and Lee highway
are certainly among the biggest
problems on the State program, y
Mr.. Bauserman said. Virginia
has a major obligation to the
Nations Capital to provide more
adequate access roads in view OF
the growing traffic through Ar

Byrd Automatic
TaxCredif Act
| Carter Promises
Fresh Attack il
| He Is Reelected

BEDFORD, Va, June 10 tH.-
Plans for q neW attack In the
Virginia General Assembly on
the Byrd automatic tax credit
act were announced here last
night.
Delegate Stuart. Carter Of
Botetourt. who led house efforts
to suspend the act last year.
said he would lead another bait
tie against the law II he Is re-
turned to the General Assembly.
Mr.. Carter is seeking the
Democratic nomination for the
10th senatorial district seat.
School Needs Cited
Speaking to about 100 per-
sons here, Mr.. Carter cited needs
of Virginia schools and hospitals
for his stand.
It was these two fields Of
school and hospital requests Tor
funds that served the young
Turk" element Of the 1854 Gen.
eral Assembly as a talking point
in seeking to suspend the act.
Under the act. Virginia gem
eral fund revenues in excess Of
10 per cent above the Governors
estimate Of State income are
credited to the taxpayers.
Opposing Mr.. Carter is Dele
gate Hale Collins Of Coyington,
who last night stood firmly be-
hind the Byrd act. He called
it the greatest safeguard that
could be put around any taxing
body.
Also in the race for the sen.
ate seat of j. C. Carpenter, jr.
of Clifton Forge, is Eldon K,
Crowder, Covington business.
man, who said he had no plat
form and is making no promises
as an independent Democrat" "
Both Mr.. Collins and Mr..
Crowder spoke with Mr.. Carter
here last night before, Vir-
ginia Farmers Union audience.
Senator Carpenter has not
sought reelection this year.
Compromise Made
After a long battle in the last
General Assembly. which drew
Harry F. Byrd, jr.. into the con-
test, the act was amended as q
compromise to reconcile the
Young Turk" and conserva-
tive elements in the assembly.
The compromise provided that
there be no credit unless the
State revenue exceeds the budget
estimate this year by 10 per
cent. And then only the amount
in excess of 5 per cent will be
credited to taxpayers.
Earlier. the law provided that
the credit would be given when
general fund revenues were 5
per cent above the Governors
estimate. All of the excess then
was credited on tax bills.
Mr.. Carter's remarks on the
tax credit act came after Mr..
Collins told the audience that
taxes and a continuation of the
conservative form of government
are at stake in the election.
The tax reduction measure.
said Mr.. Collins, is based on the
principle farmers know through
co-operatives. farm mutuals and
similar organizations. If the peo-
pie do not want the law, it should
be repealed, Mr.. Collins declared.
Mr.. Carter asserted that needs
of the State are not considered
in operation of the Byrd act. He
said his cpncerp first is with the
needs of the State, adding:
you can talk about conserya-
tive government when the tax
payers consumptive child is
going to a broken-down school. !"
/ Eighty per cent Of the tax
payers get ian average credit OF

Cooper Scores
Brown as Judqe
Sees Justice Denied
In Truffic Cases

The. frSt campaign attacK IN
the Arlington Democratic pri-
mary contest for the county
judgeship came yesterday with
a statement by Wesley w. Coop
er that the presumption of in
nocence" is lacking in the lower
court.
Mr.. Cooper, a member of the
County Board, is running against
Substitute Judge Paul D. Brown
in the July IL primary.
Mr.. Cooper charged that, be-
cause of Judge Browns guilty
until proven innocent" attitude:
Many motorists who are
handed traffic summonses are
discouraged from pleading their
cases because of the feeling that
it would be merely a predeter-
mined formality and they would
not only have to pay a fine but
the court costs as WE'LL"
Figures Cited
To back up this statement.
Mr.. Cooper said that 14,729 out
of 1888 persons were guilty
of offense as charged" in 1854.
Judge Brown has spent most Of
his time on the bench in traffic
court.
Asked for comment on Mr..
Cooper's charges. Judge Brown
said all persons entering his
court are advised of their rights
and if they don't know how to
plead are advised to plead not
guilty.
Judge Brown said Virginia
police statistics show a motorist
is four times less likely to be
killed on Arlington roads as on
Fairfax County highways. These
statistics are based on the num-
ber of deaths per 100 million
car miles driven.
Accident Rate
Mr.. Cooper's statement said:
"The idea of curbing traffic
accidents by placing heavy em-
phasis upon minor traffic vio-
lations has not been successful
in Arlington County for as the
fine total has risen, so has the
traffic accident rate"
Mr.. Cooper said he did not be-
lieve "a court of justice should
be used in a revenue-raising
scheme" He declared.
Nevertheless, the fines COLI
lected by the County Court last
year were three times as great
as in 1850 when the court
showed fines totaling $4,000"
Judge Brown commented that
each case is judged on its mer-
its. IF we begin to judge. cases
on how much the gross revenue
is up to any given date, then we
would no longer be judging cases
on their merits" he said.
Increase in Cases
The judge added that it is
the Judges duty to decide cases
brought before the court. The
judge does not control the max
ing of arrests" He said 1t is
common knowledge that the
volume of traffic cases has in
creased tremendously in the past
few years"
The Judge also said the traffic
court in Arlington has gotten two
national American Bar Associa-
lion awards "for outstanding
progress in the improvement OF
traffic court practice and pro-
cedure" since he was appointed
Judge in 1949.
