Deod-End Street Restores
Stolen Car to Owner

After what happened on a
shopping trip to Washington,
Mrs. Allen Moore's car looks so
much like a brand-new gift from
Santa that she is ready to tie a
red ribbon around it.
Mrs. Moore, who lives near
Upper Marlboro, Md, drove to
the District yesterday and to
avoid traffic parked her car on
Pennsylvania avenue at Tenth
street Sc. and rode uptown on
a streetcar.
Heavily laden with packages,
Mrs. Moore returned to the park
ing spot in a taxi. Her car was
gone.
A telephone call brought her
son, Richard, in another car.
They notified 5th precinct police
and started home. On the way.
they stopped at a store in Dis
trict Heights.
While Mrs. Moore was inside,

papers editorial policy win

beliefs of its present editor to
one more temperate in express
sion."
The newspaper has been in
favor Of strong action to main
tain segregation. Mr.. Elvin said
he favors taking maximum adj
vantage of latitude in the Su-
preme Courts decision but
would oppose subterfuge or
violence" in meeting the issue.

her son spotted the stolen car
moving toward Upper Marlboro
and occupied by a young man, a
girl and a baby.
A few seconds later the Moores
drew alongside and waived to the
driver to pull to the curb.
Instead, the car flashed away.
A chase at speeds up to IS miles
per hour followed over Military
Highway, Suitland parkway and
Silver Hill road. The fleeing car
turned into a dead-end street
near the Census Bureau.
Mr.. Moore pulled Up behind 1t
but the car spun around and sped
off again as he raced toward it.
The Moores ran into an apart
ment building to call police and
when they came out they found
the stolen car, unchanged on a
nearby dead-end street.
Its occupants escaped.

ABILITY TO PAY
FACTOR IN FINES,
JUDGE DECLARES

Ability to pay court fines
is a factor in the sentences
passed out in Municipal
Court, Chief Judge Leonard
P. Walsh said today.
"This may explain appar-
ent inconsistencies in judges
sentences" Judge Walsh
said. II don't think two
persons convicted of the
same crime have to receive
exactly the same sentence"
But present inequities in
sentences imposing fines or
jail terms should be changed,
he added. pointing out that
the equation of $40 or 10
days" is "a carryover from
earlier days"
II think there should be a
better relation between fines
and Jail terms than 81 for
one day." the chief judge
said. A fine of SO or SIS
for each day in Jail would
seem more reasonable he
added.
Judge Walsh said this
question of fines or Jail
terms applies mainly to
DRINKS and liquor law
violators.
There aren't many peo-
pie who are going to Jail If
they can afford to stay out"
the judge said. And most
of these people can't afford
to pay the fine"

Two Towns GET
Pollution Aid
Rockville, Laurel
Receive Priority

Rockville, Laurel and six other
Maryland communities under
State orders to improve their
sewage disposal systems have
been given top priority for A.
nancial aid under the Federal
water pollution control law.
The priorities were announced
Yesterday by the State Water
Pollution Control Commission
and Department of Health, Joint
administrators of the Federal
funds. The State has been ap-
portioned $750,300 per year for
the next 10 years under the 1856
law designed to help local juris-
dictlons clean up their water
ways.
In addition to the most-urgent
category, the State agencies des-
ignated scores of other COM
munities-many in the Potomac
River watershed-as needing
pollution abatement measures.
Actual distribution of the
Federal funds will be on the
basis of each community's need
and its readiness to begin con-
struction onsthe necessary prof.
ects. Specific apportionment of
funds will be announced later
as the communities detail their
needs and their preparedness to
meet them.
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, RESPONSE
BILE for water supply and sewage
collection in portions of Prince
Georges and Montgomery Coun-
ties adjoining Washington, has
applied for Federal aid in con-
nection with improvements for
both Rockville and Laurel.
These are construction Of a
sewage treatment plant for Lau-
rel and a major trunk sewer for
Rockville.
The treatment plant is pro-
posed to be located on the Pa
tuxent River downstream from
the town on a site just east of
the Baltimore Washington park
way Its estimated cost. includ-
ing a sewage interceptor line
from town to plant. is ST million.
The Rockville project, whose
100000 cost would be split be-
tween the city and WSSC, in
wolves laying a big connection
along Cabin John Greek to tie
the city into the commissions
existing sewage collection sys-
tenn near the Potomac. All of
WSSC's system is linked to
Washington's, the sewage being
piped to the Districts treatment
plant at Blue Plains.
