kitchen of morning over second cup Of coffee.

another in the East Sixties here. And they
have established rather impressive record by
working together on television for seven years
AS the lady panelsts of CBS-TV's What's
My Line? one of the oldest television shows

some 800 Sunday nights They say they have
never had any argument about clothes, pre-
ferred camera angles or fused about taking the

ARLENE is so easy to get along with. She
is the unhammest girl you can imagine and
even If she comes into the show not feeling
well, or worried about something we all do
some nights, she's always bright and laughing
when we go on the air."
Said Miss Francis:
"Dorthy and I don't see one another very
often socially, because primarily, she's news
paper gal and most Of our friends and interests
are different but we've never had any problems
working together"
Disparate interests to the contrary. one
thing these two most surely have in common
is living on grand scale.

challenge.
However, because of the un.
favorable bond market, officials
are expected to move with eau
ton. selling only minimum
amounts.
Virginia's Supreme Court has
declined to review the valuation
of the two bond issues by the
Arlington Circuit Court.
The bond election last June
had been challenged in court on
the grounds that tax money was
spent illegally by county and
school officials to publish a
pamphlet which urged approval
of the referendum proposals.
Two similar suits were filed in
Arlington Circuit Court shortly
after county voters approved a
4,492,1 bond issue for school
construction and an even $2.2
million for courthouse expan-
sion.
A party on both suits was
William M. Burdette. jr.. a Gov
lawyer. He was joined
in the second suit by Jack Rath-
bone, an official in the Arlington
chapter of the Defenders of
State Sovereignty and Individ-
ual Liberties-a pro-segregation
group.

County Parties Oppose
School Board Election

An elected school board for
Prince Georges County is OPP
posed by the chairmen of both
the Democratic and Republican
State Central Committees of the
county.
L. Harold Sothoron, the DEM
ocratic leader, and Carlton Pyles,
the @. o. p. chairman, each
expressed the same view during
"a meeting last night of a special
committee of the County Council
|of Parent Teacher Associations.
Both said they favored the
|present system of the Governor
appointing school board mem
bers when vacancies occur,
The committee, headed by DR..
Russell Childress of Beltsville,
has been designated by the PTA
Council to study the matter and
submit recommendations. Mrs.
Margaret M. Conant, council
president. said the committee is
scheduled to report back about
March |.
Mr.. Sothoron and Mr.. PyleS
were asked to attend last nights
session at the Northwestern
High School so the committee
could learn their views on the
possibility of electing the School
Board. Montgomery County and
the city of Baltimore are the
only areas in the State with elec-
ted boards now.

drafted sales tax bill and file it
as an appendix to its report re-
CARELESS of whether it recon-
mends or does not recommend
this type of tax for present

The statement made it clear,
however, that the commission
has not decided whether to rec
ommend adoption of a State
sales tax, and in fact. had not
reached a decision ION any other
vital matter affecting its assign
ment."
An act of the 1856 Legislature

I roffic Point System !
Sought for Maryland |.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. "a R.-A
Baltimore delegate said today he
will ask the Maryland Legisla-
ture to set up a point system to
eliminate unsafe drivers from the
highways.
! Delegate Maurice Cardin,
Democrat of Baltimore, said the
legislation was being prepared
for introduction today or tomor-
row.
Similar to systems in use in
16 States and the District of
Columbia, Mr.. Cardin said, it
calls for assessing points against
a drivers record for each viola
ton. The penalties would range
from one point for such offenses
as making an improper turn to
IL for more serious ones, like
manslaughter by automobile.
A total of IL points would call
for an automatic one-year rev.
ocation of the drivers license.
Two State police officials ex-
pressed approval of the point
system idea at a House Judiciary
Committee hearing on another
motor vehicles measure. 1t would
require REORGANIZATION of drivers
every three years.
Delegate Lloyd L. Simpkins,
committee chairman, said he
also favored the point system
over the re-examination pro-
poSal.
Proposal Supported
Mr.. Cardin said his proposal
had the backing of the Depart
ment Of Motor Vehicles. the
Maryland Traffic Safety Com
mission, the Baltimore Safety
Council. Association of Com
merce officials, and other groups.
Under the proposal, four
points would call for a letter of
warning from the Department
of Motor Vehicles. six points
would require the driver to re-
port for a safety conference with
department officials, eight points
WOW bring a 30-day suspen-
sios. 10 points a 60-day suspen-
sion and IL points one-year
revocation.
At the expiration of the year.
the license would be restored
and the driver placed on proba-
ton for three years. If he
avoided violations during the
probation period, the points
would be erased from his record.
Early Action Expected
Mr.. Simpkins said he prefers
this plan to the periodic re-
examination plan because the
latter could work an awful
hardship" on many drivers with
good records.
He said the Judiciary Com
mittee would act early next week

Holiday Row Delays
rash Collections

Trash and garbage collections
in suburban Montgomery County
have been delayed this week
because Of confusion over
whether Monday, Inaugural Day,
was a holiday.
The Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission, the agency
which collects it there, did not
cIserve the day as one of its
holidays. The refuse workers,
however, commended President
Eisenhower had declared it a
holiday and refused to work
without getting extra pay. AS
a result. there were no refuse
collections that day.
On Tuesday, commission
issued instructions
that the refuse workers try to
catch up with the original work
They said this meant
most collections would be a day
late.

New Laws Proposed
ByMontgomery Citizens

The Montgomery County Civic
Federation, in a sweeping re-
view of proposed changes in
Maryland laws, last night gave
its approval to more than a
dozen legislative measures deal
ing with motor vehicle laws, san
itary commission powers and
planning agency functions.
Federation delegates voted on
the legislative items now before

petual Building in Bethesda.
Among the major legislative
proposals Endorsed by the group

Capital Park and Planning Com
mission to secure added funds
for park development by applying
to the county council for appro-
priations based on specific park
projects not available under the
present 7-cent tax in the COM

appointment of members keeps
the school system free from
partisan politics" Mr.. Pyles
said he believed it would be
detrimental" to involve the
school system in primary and
general elections. Mr.. Sothoron
agreed, asserting such elections
would "chip away" the estab-
lished two-party system in the
county.
Under current law the party
holding the gubernatorial office
has the majority of the seven
county board members. but the
law states that the party finish
ing second at the polls must have
at least three. When a vacancy
arises, both State Central Com
mittees submit nominations to
the Governor.
The two chairmen said they
based their nominations on
names given them by PTAs, civic
groups. school principals and
service clubs. but said they also
welcomed additional nominations
from other groups. They also said
they were open to suggestions
for improving the present sys-
tenn.

Mayor Demands
I Transit Change

BALTIMORE, Jan. "a R).-
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro has
given notice the absentee own
ers of the Baltimore Transit
System must get out.
Local business interests should
buy them out. he said last night.
And if they do not. Mayor
D'Alesandro said, he will seek
some form of public ownership
of the city's mass transporta-
ton system.
Apparently the Mayor doesn't
plan to daily. Unless some ac-
ton is taken by local interests
soon, he said, he will ask the
Legislature now in session to
pass an enabling act permitting
Baltimore voters ito decide
whether we shall have a public
transit authority"
The Baltimore Transit Co. is
a subsidiary of National City
Lines. which operates transit
systems in Philadelphia, st.
Louis and a number Of other
large cities.
Instead of trying to meet
this (automobile) competition
through the provisions of more
a nd better service" Mayor
D'Alesandro said, those in con-
troll of Baltimore's transit sys-
tem-out-of -towners who have
demonstrated repeatedly that
they have no interest whatever
in providing adequate service to
the people of Baltimore-decreed
that there shall be less and less
service.
Inadequate service by the
transit system has virtually
brought downtown Baltimore to
its knees. the Mayor said.
Dale w. Barratt, president of
the Baltimore Transit Co., said
he would have no comment to-
make until after he studies the
Mayors statement.
Several times in the past, the
transit company has offered to
sell out to the city but in each
case the other was turned down
by the Mayor.
