Z. Street Parking Bans: Free
downtown rides have not beer

ID. c. Growth
Study Urged

Formation by Congress of a
special commission to study
growth problems of the WASH
ington metropolitan area has
been recommended by the Com
lmittee Of 100 on the Federal
City.
This proposal is one of a num-
Der which make up a revised
program of detectives for the
committee. 1t was formed in
1928 to provide citizen leader
ship to help guide the develop
ment Of the Capital.
The program was discussed at
committee luncheon at the
Hotel Statler last week. 1t was
held in conjunction with ses-
sions Of the Joint Committee on
the National Capital.
The Committee OF 100 noted
that machinery has been set UP
for metropolitan area planning
through the National Capital
Regional Planning Council. but
that metropolitan unity in adj
ministration" has not been
achieved. II suggested that this
need be studied by a special
commission.
The groups program also
urged a more adequate Federal
contribution to District expenses,
favored a bridge rather than a
tunnel II a Potomac crossing is
built near Constitution avenue.
1t also called for special steps
TO assure that new public and
private buildings reflect "the i'm
portance and dignity Of the
Capital"
Other recommendation in
cluded appeals for early compile
ton Of the Fort drive and
George Washington Memorial
parkway. and supported plans TO
develop park areas along the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal.

later. the child's body was found
and the coroner reported he had
not been slain. that he had died
Of exposure.
Chief Murray, in his requests
for information. wrote q letter to
the International Association Of
Chiefs of Police for inclusion In
the associations magazine. He
wrote personal letters to some 80
chiefs.
In requesting information "of
vital importance to law enforce
|ment in the District Of Column
bia." he told the chiefs that con-
|victions Of the most serious
crimes here are often set aside
by the appellate court because
the prisoner was not taken
without unnecessary delay" or
Immediately" before O commit
ting magistrate.
Members Of this department
and the United States Attorneys
Office" he wrote. believe that
"a reasonable time must be per-
mitted law enforcement officers,
not only to properly prepare q
case against the perpetratcr Of
Ia crime, but also to establish
the innocence Of persons who
may be falsely accused Of crime
or who make false confessions Of
crime"
Seeks Specific Information
He asked for specific cases
where confessions were found to
be false or persons were found
to be falsely accused. He said the
information would be valuable
to the Council on Law Enforce
ment in preparing q report and
possible recommendations for
specific language in the law
rather than our present various
interpretations" Of what the
court means by without I'M
necessary delay"
George L. Hart, jr., chairman
Of the Council on Law Enforce
ment. said the question Of false
confessions and accusations
points up the situation very
strongly"
Mr.. Hart said If police must
rush to arraign persons before
they have thoroughly investi-
gated, the time Of prosecutors
and even grand juries may be
consumed unnecessarily before
the phony confession is uncov-
cred.

FavOrs a New College
DR.. Hager said last week he
strongly feels a new teachers
college should be built. But he
also spoke up strongly for a
bigger, broader city college.
He has given School Supt.
Hobart M. Corning a plan for
such q college. 1t would have
about double the teachers college
faculty, which numbers 100. DR..
Hager has estimated the pro-
posed college, by five years after
its opening. would have 1000
full-time and 1000 part-time
students.
Its annual operating cost. he
has estimated. would be around
SIS million. compared with the
present 100000 of District
Tea chers' College. Students
would not be charged tuition,
but about 100000 Of the SIS
million might be obtained in
fees, he said.
The city college would require
housing about twice the size of
a teachers college, he estimated.
DR.. Corning has not yet pre-
sented this plan, or any alter
native one. to the school board.
However. he is scheduled to re-
port on the subject at a board
meeting Wednesday.
DR.. Corning has estimated the
cost Of q new teachers college.
which is included in a proposed
new $50 million school construc-
ton program. at SIS million.

offer a possible help.
Here is how his program
stacks up. on a point-by- point
basis. with what is being done
and what has been done in
Washington:
/. Nonstop rides: D. C. Transit
System has IA express lines pro-
viding three different kinds oil
service. The newest is Shoppers
Express" which was started last
week on three lines-Connecti-
cut avenue. Sixteenth street anc
South Capitol street. Also, since
1852 under the old Capita
Transit Company, the system
has operated seven well-patron.
lied interstate express lines to
suburban Maryland during rush
hours which operate at premium
fares. The third express service,
called limited STOP" has oper-
ated for many years entirely
within the District. There are
four such lines.
2. Transit Traffic Lanes: o
Roy Chalk. the systems new
owner. has demanded an imme.
date tryout Of lanes reserved fol
buses only on at least four major
streets. TRAFFIC Director George
E. Keneipp has offered a tria,
on one street-H street between
Second and Fifteenth street.
NE.-but has urged that the
others be postponed until after
the holiday season to see how the
first works out and to await en-.
cheering studies.
Mr.. Keneipp points out thai
Mr.. Chalk's proposals involve
use Of curb lanes In two-waS
streets. unlike Nashville and Chi.
cago. Mr.. Chalk turned dowr
Mr.. Keneipp's proposal for cen
iter-lane use Of Eleventh and
Ninth streets NV. as an inter.
ference with streetcars.

fered Chevy Chase residents $751;

would pick them up at their
doors during rush hours for re-
served-seat rides downtown. ex-

buildings to make classes.
Miner, which like Wilson wa.
built in 1918. is on Georgia ave-
nue. near Euclid street NV. Il

considers it far from adequate.
Both Wilson and Miner were
built as old-fashioned, two-yeal
normal schools, to accommodate
enrollments of at most two OF
three hundred. The teachers

dence on the need for time for
police to check out stories told
by accusers and self -accusers be-
fore prisoners are taken before
a committing magistrate.
Both Chief Murray and United
States Attorney Oliver .Gasch
want a law specifying what pro-
cedures police can follow and
how long they can hold a
prisoner before arraignment.
Both contend that court de-
cisions requiring prisoners to be
brought before q committing
magistrate without unnecessary
delay" have been subject to such
varied interpretations that they
are no longer certain how long
police can take in making sure
they have the right man.
Recall Youths Confession
Chief Murray said he was al
ready aware Of a number Of cases
where stories were so plausible
that it wasn't until police had
the prisoner re-enact the crime
or take a lie detector test that
the story turned out to be false
He cited the incident last June
when most Prince Georges Coun-
ty police were almost certain
they had the killer of Nancy
Marie Shomette and Michael
Ann Ryan. A 16-year-old youth
had confessed in q l2-page state
ment.
His re-enactment Of the crime
seemed almost conclusive but
some detectives - including 1t
Earl Huber who had worked on
the case for q year-were still
doubtful. The youth was ex-
amined by psychiatrists and CIV
en- a lie detector test. His where
abouts on the day Of the murder
was checked. He was shown a
group Of guns, from which he
was to choose the likely death
weapon. 1t took nearly AZ hours
to prove the confession was a
hoax.
Story Proved False
Chief Murray also cited the
recent West Virginia case where
the father Of a missing 2-year-
old boy confessed" he had
smothered the child, hacked up
the body and burned it in an
open fireplace. He said he and
his wife had acted at the point of
a gun held by the child's grand
mother. The three adults we're
charged with murder. Two days
