termine whether a trial was &C.

was supported by Harry Bolk-
man, District Heights police
chief. who conducted the pre-
liminary auto accident investi-
cation.
Il can't challenge her Judge
Crane'S discretion" Mr.. Smith
said.

opportunity for cross examina-
ton"

she said she had heard both
sides at different times" Mr..
Smith added.
He said that II a hearing was
not held the compliments can
swear out new warrants. Other
wise, Mr.. Smith said, he saw no
recourse for them.
The case cannot be appealed,
he said. The swearing of new
warrants. If a trial was held,
would be double Jeopardy, Mr..
Smith added.

earlier this week protesting the
dismissal.

porters the trial was held Thurs

Transit Loan

The District may seek short
term Federal loan to begin oper-
alton of the public transit au-
thority for which legislation is
being drafted here.
COMMISSIONS Samuel Spencer
reported after a five-hour draft
ing session yesterday that he did
not know how much money might
be sought. however.
Working on the draft to be sub
mitted to Congress were the
Commissioners. the Public Util-
tiles Commission. city attorneys
and investment firm officials.
Besides the proposed bill, it is
hoped to provide Congress with
an operating plan setting forth
information about necessary
equipment, finances and fares.
The public authority is being
planned to take over transit
operation in the District when
the franchise of the Capital
Transit Co. expires next August.
Mr.. Spencer had reported
earlier that the bill probably
would carry provisions broad
enough so that the authority
could negotiate with Capital
Transit for some or all of its
properties. 1t also, he added. will
have a provision for condemna-
ton. which would allow the au-
thority to condemn some or all
of the transit properties if neces-
sary.
The draft may seek to give the
authority powers broad enough
to operate eventually in the
whole METROPOLITAN area.
