that would require a 12-cent
boost in property tax rates. The
County Board at its meeting
yesterday, on motion of George
M. Rowzee, jr., decided to adver-
tise a 20-cent increase for gen.
eral county operations to allow
greater "flexibility" in consider
ing the budget.
The Scent hike on the prop
erty rates would yield about
$240,000. according to Mr..
Rowzee.
Current Levies
The current real estate levy is
1925 per 500 evaluation on real
estate and SAT- on personal
property.
Action similar to that taken
by the County Board has already
been voted by School Board
members, who added 100000 to
Supt. T. Edward Rutter's recon-
mended budget for the 1861
year. The superintendent sos
million budget called for a %
cent increase and the 100000
addition raises this figure to Is
cents.
The new proposed tax rate
hikes would set the real estate

levy at 1911 and $4.92 on per-
sonal property.
Schools to Readvertise
The County Board yesterday
granted the School Boards re-
quest to readvertise at a 57-cent
rate increase if the schools do
not receive an anticipated 81
million in Federal funds. The
new rate would have to be adj
Ivertised by April 1870 days be-
fore the County Boards May Is
deadline for adopting the COM
bined budgets and setting the
tax rates.
A public hearing on the pro-
posed tax increases was set for
April 26. Another hearing on
the recommended budgets had
been already scheduled for April
10. The locations will depend on
which schools are available.
The school board is sponsoring
a hearing on its recommended
budget at 8 pm. April 10 at
Stratford Junior High School.
Residents have been invited to
suggest additional budget items,
in line with the 100000 addi-
ton, for board consideration.

bill, seeking automatic arbitra-
ton of all unsettled labor dis
putes from congressional COM
mittees considering the measure.
The measure was not even
introduced in the Senate until
Senator Nicely, chairman of the
Senate District Committee. had
received a letter from President
George Meany of the AFL-CIO.
Mr.. Meany approved introduce
ton of the measure. but called
for elimination of an antistrike
clause.
Fight Anti Strike Clause
| Senator Nicely and at least two
of his fellow committeeman have
publicly promised to oppose the
Ianti-strike clause.
| In his recent testimony on the
public ownership bill, Mr.. Bier
wagon attacked the management
Iof Capital Transit under the
control of Louis E. Wolfson in
terms reminiscent of those usede
by the District Commissioner
last summer when they asked
Congress to revoke the COM
pany's charter and franchise.
Their request, during the 81
day strike by Mr.. Bierwagen's
union, produced legislation which
is scheduled to put the company
out OF business next August IA.
A major reason for the strike,
Mr.. Bierwagen argued, was the
lcompany's refusal to arbitrate.
The public ownership bill was
offered by the commissioners
when they decided they could not
find a satisfactory private opera
tor to take over the franchise.
Gen. Lane has said that II
they had known in advance that
such an operator could not be
found, he would have pressed
for enactment of the public own
ership bill along with the meas
ure to revoke the CTC fran
chiSe.
Public Ownership Bill
The public ownership bill,
however, has made no progress
on Capitol Hill in view of an
apparent congressional prefer
ence for continuation of private
ownership. Principal attention
has been directed to the plan of
Max M. Kampelman, attorney
for Minneapolis clients who want
to start a new all-bus company
here.
Last week, however, CTC in
Dictated it might be willing to
continue in business.
| After this was disclosed, union
officials are reported to have ex-
pressed concern over failure Of
the public ownership bill to move
faster on Capitol Hill. 1t was
pointed out to them, that if Con-
gress does not take some positive
action on the transit situation
there will be no public mass
transportation in Washington
after August land no Jobs for
ABOUT 5000 union members.

Justice officials. however, are
insistent on sale of the land

institution they need. Officials
would not speculate on the value
of the property.

The Training School buildings

that the buildings are very old. "
the feeling that such an institu-
ton should be away from a big
city and the fact that as Fed
eral institution it is not CEN
trally located. About half the
more than 400 inmates at pres
ent are District juveniles.
Entirely apart from the sale
of land, the Board of Trades
stadium project is endangered
by the proposed 100-acre land
transfer to the Park Service.
If such a transfer goes through.
the National Capital Planning
Commission proposes that the
Fort Drive route be run directly
through the only adequate area
on the tract for the stadium.
District Highway Department
officials, who long have pushed
for stadium there. have drawn
a plan which would route Fort
Drive around the stadium space.
Highway officials contend the
tract is the only one left in the
city which would provide ade-
quate land area, parking and
access highways for stadium
with a capacity of perhaps
10000.
Endorsed by Planners
The Planning Commission, in
a closed session three weeks ago,
formally Endorsed the Park Serv-
ice land transfer. Commission
officials contend the Fort Drive
route must be cut through the
center OF the big tract because
the lands topography makes the
city highway department plan
unfeasible.
William H. Press, Board of
Trade executive vice president.
has asked the Planning Commits
sion to reconsider the highway
route and said the board was

RondIe Fire Brings Effort
To Tighten Arson Laws

Capitol Hill action to put Fed
eral strength behind arson laws
developed yesterday after au-
thorities announced the Randle
apartment house fire was no
accident"
! The blaze caused the death of
one fireman and left AZ families
homeless.
Deputy Fire Marshal Kermit
R Mullins said yesterday the
blaze "had to be arson" 1t left
the 100000 development at 2525
Minnesota avenue Sc, a charred
ruin.
The fire started in mattress
in the basement, the fire mar
shall said. The mattress was in
such an out-of- the-way place in
the basement that it is unlikely
a carelessly discarded cigarette
or match would have ignited it,
he said.
Two Boys Seen in Area
| A woman tenant who discov-
cred the fire said she saw two
boys leave the basement.
Senator Wiley, Republican of
Wisconsin, last night called for
early enactment of a House-ap-
proved bill to clamp down on the
"atrocious crime" of arson.
Mr.. Wiley, ranking Republican
member of the Senate Judiciary
Committee, cited the fire as a
reason to deal with arsonists.
Yesterday the Wisconsin Sem
lator wrote a letter of coincidence
to the widow of Fireman Albert
M. Hazel, who died of a heart
attack brought on by carbon
monoxide poisoning he suffered
while fighting the three-alarm
fire.
Perhaps his sacrifice may help
alert the Senate to speed final
passage Of this BILL" Mr.. Wiley
wrote. "It may provide you some
comfort in your grief to learn
that your husbands efforts will
not have gone unnoticed or un-
remembered"
Committee Considers Bill
The Senate Judiciary Com
mittee is scheduled to take up
the bill at a session tomorrow.
1t would place Federal enforce
Iment agencies behind efforts of
local police and fire officers to
catch fugitive arsonists. The
measure, supported by the JUS
tice Department, would amend
the Federal Fugitive Felon Act
to make it a Federal offense for
anyone to cross a State line to
avoid prosecution or imprison-
ment for arson.
Senator Wiley, member of
the Juvenile Delinquency Sub
committee, voiced fears of the
serious effect on juveniles which
may be caused by adult arsonists
when they escape punishment.
In this regard he referred to
Ia recent fire in nearby Prince
Georges County which he was
Informed was apparently set by

Arlington Asks
Paving Study

An appeal for a highway i'm
provement is under study by
the Arlington County Board.
The request, submitted yester-
day by the county's Civic FEEDER
alton, urged higher street con-
struction standards for develop
erS.
The federation's letter said
that poor road conditions are
particularly noticeable in our
many expanding" developments
where "the very minimum roads"
have been built.
A thigh standard of construc-
ton" should also be set for all
other country roads, the feder-
alton said.
The board directed County
Manager A. T. Lundberg to re-
port on details of the subdivision
control ordinance, and to sub
NIT a cost study on the general
county highways.
In other action, the Board
voted to ask the Virginia State
Milk Commission to hold a sep
arate hearing in Northern Vir-
ginia on market conditions in
that area.
The commission has scheduled
a Statewide hearing March %
on retail milk pricing and re-
lated matters.
In another matter, Board
members invited county civil
groups to submit recommended
tons for membership on the new
Planning Commission.
The Board also agreed to have
Arlington again join the District

time effective 2 am. April 20.

posed dog ordinance was set for

he said, the youngster was fol-
lowing the example of adult
criminals who are guilty of
arson but find it relatively easy
to escape across State lines.
Senator Wiley added: Arson
is one of the ghastliest of crimes.
1t inf1icts tragic toll on human
life and property, tremendous
insurance costs and serious
burden on our free economy
That toll must be slashed by
remedial Federal action in CO.

ment but Uncle Sam should be
willing to do his part. With

New Outbreak Feared
A steam scare-caused by wa
ter-soaked bedding drying in the
sun-took firemen back to the
apartment house yesterday. The
steam was spotted by fireman
picking up tools left at the scene.
An engine crew answered his call.
The Red Cross yesterday re-
peated its request that all resi-
dents made homeless by the
Randle fire register their names

ested persons may be informed.
The registration can be made in

storation Of the franchise tt
etc.
This was proposed last week
by Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee ano
Representative Broyhill, Repub-
lican of Virginia, in identical
House measures.
Commenting on their bills
which would grant etc tax re-
lief and considerable freedom
from regulatory control by the
District Public Utilities Com
mission, Mr.. Spencer said in a
radio interview:
There are a number of pro-
visions which would be bene-
fetal to the company which GO
far beyond what 1t would be in
in the public interest for Con-
gress to grant.
1T certainly would not be de-
sirable in the public interest for
Congress to pass that bill in. its
present form. I have nothing
personal against the company
If the franchise provisions in the
bill were comparable to
those offered by the Public Util-
titles Commission to other pri-
vate interests, and Capital
Transit would accept such pro-
visions, perhaps Congress would
want to give careful considera-
ton to Capital Transit"
