One of the most successful
phases Of a job well done by the
police force during the 51-day
transit strike is one for which
nobody wants to take credit
That's the questionable - but
highly efficient - use Of Jumper
wires" in getting illegally parked
autos to the impounding lot.
Faced with more cars to be
moved than could possibly be
h a ndled by the departments
four cranes, traffic policemen
began wholesale use of the
devices.
The wires we're especially de-
signed at the police garage and
fitted with fuses to prevent burn
ing out ignition systems if en-
ployed improperly. They are an
improved version of an old device
long used by car thieves to start
engines.
Driven Of to Lot
Cars thus started were driven
instead Of being towed to the
impounding lot by either the
man starting the auto or fell
low officer who rode the crane
for that purpose.
On some occasions during the
strike, as many as four driver
policemen armed with jumper
wires went along with the crane
for wholesale impounding during
rush hours.
While the legality Of towing OF
driving away autos has never
been tested in court, both Police

Senator Morse. Democrat OF

Committee at the next session
of Congress.
Speaking last night on the
WRc-TV program. "Our Beauti-
full Potomac" Senator Morse de-
clared:
/ think the time has come
when the people Of the District
are entitled to more protection
than the Government has given
them to date in regard to this
pollution matter"
The Senator's statement was
made to Stuart Finley, producer
and narrator of the series who
described two major difficulties
in the Potomac problem: The
| offensive and dangerous situa-
ltion at the Watergate and the
approval Of a sewage treatment
plant upstream from the Dis.
trict's water supply intake.
Senator Morse said, "You viii

ltee that inspected the Potomac

The Senator recalled two bill

MP Who Beet
Son, a, jailed

BALTIMORE, Aug. 81 R.-A
33-year-old veteran of Is years
military service was sentenced
to three years In prison yester-
day for assaulting and kicking
his 4-year-old son.
Judge Joseph L. Carter i'm
posed the sentence on Corpl.
Paul Anthony Mihalik. a mill
tary policeman originally from
West Brownsville, Pa, but more
recently Of Baltimore and the
Aberdeen (Md.) Proving Ground.
Mihalik was charged with
kicking his son Wayne and his
daughter Marlene. S. on July
10. The Mihaliks have six chill
dren.
TIE 228-pound MP acknowl-
edged he gave the two children
"a good tanning" with a belt on
July S for taking money from a
family cache.
The State. based much of its
case principally on the testimony
of DR.. Arthur r. Nelson, resi-
dent surgeon at Johns Hopkins
Hospital, and Of Mrs. Alma Pfei-
fer. who lived two doors away
from the Mihaliks.
DR.. Nelson said that when
Wayne was brought to the hos
pital July 20 he had a ruptured
intestine and acute peritonitis
necessitating an emergency OPP
Grafton. He said he could not
determine exactly what caused
the injury but did state it had
occurred within the previous 70
hours.
Mrs. Pfeifer said she heard q
thump and a cry from the boy
after Mihalik had called him
into the house on July 10. She
conceded the apartment door
was closed and the blinds were
drawn.
Over the objections Of Defense
Counsel Alvin r. Braudes. the
judge permitted Paul Mihalik,
6-year-old son of the defendant,
to be called as a witness. He
said he saw his father take of
his shoes and kick Wayne. 1T
wasn't too hard" he said.
Mihalik's wife, who said she
went out to a movie after the
commotion started, invoked the
rule that a wife may not be COM
PEELED to testify against her hus-
band when called as q witness.

pushing sewer connections for
their treatment facilities, he re-
ported.
But Mr.. Finley said develop
ments In the area are haphazard. ]
and there is no overall plan toI
take care of future population

Mr.. Finley sharply criticized
Arlington, which now takes only
IS per cent Of the filth out of
its sewage and dumps the rest
into the river. Arlington has pri-
mary treatment facilities only.
and IS developing no plans for
secondary treatment. Secondary
treatment OF sewage removes
about rs per cent Of the Nth.
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, which
controls sewers in nearby Mary
land. has been dumping part Of

costa River. and treating a
lpart of it. The commission has
a contract with the District for
Treating sewage at the Districts
Blue Plains plant. and connect
ing sewers are under construc-
ltion.
New Water Intake
An indication of what the
lack of a master plan can mean
to the Washington area, Mr..
Finley said. is the application
pending before the Virginia
Water Control Board for a
treatment plant at Mclean
Heights. just upstream from the
intake for Washington's new
filtration plant for the city's
water supply.
While approval of this appli-
cation would not present a Sc
rious problem at present. he
added. 1t could set q dangerous
precedent which eventually
might pose an insoluble prob
lem at the filtration plant.

the system is SO great. however,
that in dry spells raw sewage
flows into the river.

PEDESTRIAN IS ALSO THE

Raleigh.-"The driver as well as
the walker has a responsibility in

Major D. T. Lambert, of the
State Highway Patrol, made that
statement this week, speaking in
connection with the year round
efforts Of the patrol to safeguard
pedestrians.
"The walker has the most to
lose in an encounter with an auto
mobile, and should protect him
SELF" Major Lambert said, "but he
could follow all the rules of safe
walking and still become the vic
tim of motorist who didn't OBJ
serve the rules of safe driving"
The patrol executive mentioned
as one of the most common driver
offenders the Crosswalk Creeper,
who stops at the red light but
keeps edging over the line. 1t gives
walkers the filters, he explained,
and makes them afraid they may
be run down before they get across
! the street.
