lice are preparing a breakdown
on motorists who weave in and
out of traffic on Shirley highway
during the morning rush.
Kenneth Smith, head of Alex

Imediately police will arrest mo-
florists who fail to observe the
lane control signs between the
Route 7 overpaSs and a point
500 feet north of Glebe road.
Part of the stretch is in Alex
andria and part in Arlington.
Mr.. Smith said the action has
been approved by City Manager
|E. G. Heatwole and County
Manager A. T. Lundberg.
Mr.. Smith said that during a
one-week test conducted by the
Federal Bureau of Public Roads
last November travel time over
the section was cut in half and
the capacity of the highway in
creased by lane control.
He said that Immediately after
the experiment some drivers re-
turned to the practice of chang
ing lanes.
Mr.. Smith said traffic on the
Route Z, Shirlington Circle and
Glebe road ramps leading to
Shirley highway will be confined
to a single lane. He also re-
quested that motorists who are
closer to the Route z interchange
use that ramp instead of circling
around to get on Shirley high
way at one Of the more heavily
used ramps closer in.

Another Hearing Set
The council set March II for
"a public hearing on amendments

liam N. Mcleod, jr., House Dis
Itrict Committee clerk whose
study of the city's cab opera
lions is to be made public soon.
The report now is in the hands
of Representative league Of
Texas. chairman Of a subcom-
mittee studying the taxi BUSH
ness.
1t has been understood for
some time that one Of the rec
concentrations in Mr.. McLeod's
report is regulation OF the taxi
industry by a single agency.
Three agencies-the Police De-
partment. the Public Utilities
Commission and the Department
of Vehicles and Traffic-now
regulate the Districts cabs.
Il would favor a system SINH

Police Department has the re-
sponsibility for regulating taxi
cabs" Mr.. Mcleod said.
Under the present arrange

regulations, the Police Depart

them and licensing the hacker.
The Traffic Department is re-

The last time the fraternity
was discovered at the school the
students involved were given an
opportunity to disavow further

Fraternity Largely Social
One mother told The Star the
pledge which she and other
parents and the students had
signed at the beginning Of the
school year had appeared to her
to be a promise to refrain from
secret organizations such as the
Communist Party. She said the
fraternity was largely social,
that the students had printed
membership cards but had no
secret oath nor secret meetings.
Among the seven are mem
bers Of the football and basket

as being fine students and all
had college applications pending.

Falls Church Sets Action
On Water Rates March II

Falls Church has put off fol
two weeks a decision to raise
its water rates to consumers.
The city council last night
set March II for action on q
proposal to raise rates after
April /. The increase was pro-
posed by James Head, city direc-
tor Of public utilities. mainly be-
cause the city has been paying
more since last December for
the water it buys from the Dis
trict through Arlington County.
The proposed increase would
raise the minimum quarterly
charge for the first 10000 gal
Ions from $3.50 to So for all
users in Falls Church. 1t would
raise the quarterly minimum
from So to $3.50 for all users
outside the city. The rate for
amounts a bove 10000 gallons
would remain for all users at 40
cents per 1000 gallons.
Charges Cited
The District has been charg-
ing Arlington County 7.37 cents
per 1000 gallons and an
nounced recently it will now
charge 10 cents per 1000 gall
Ions, effective as of last Deem
Der /. Arlington in turn sells
the water to Falls Church at
the same rate, plus one-half cent
per 1000 gallons. Arlington
County Is planning to raise the
price to county users on July /.
Mr.. Head told hte council
last night the proposed increase
will make water bills to city
users only a trif1e higher than
the actual cost Of the water and
maintenance Of the system to
the city. Income from outside
users. under the proposed in
crease. would raise the city'S to-
tai water profit from the $50, 900
realized last year to about ST.
600 this year. He pointed oct
that, even with the increase, any
city user would be paying the
same rate for their water as they
did in 1881.
Other Raises Suggested
Councilman Jewell Petersen
asked Mr.. Head If he believes
that $50. 900 is "a fair return to
the city on our S. million invest
ment in our water system"
Mr.. Petersen suggested that,

The main difference between

make future rules and regula-
tons, including areas along any

may be erected or removed.

More than 800 residents of the

County last night approved plans
for an about fight against a
proposed 26-acre commercial re-
coming on Wisconsin avenue.
The Somerset Town Council
has announced its opposition and
employed an attorney, Stedman
Prescott, jr.. to oppose the re-
coming before the Montgomery
County Council on April 26.
The Hecht Co., as contract
purchaser of the wedge-shaped
tract which fans out as it
stretches deeply into the heart

cars.

Part of the strategy Endorsed
by the mass meeting calls for a

bers Of the County Council ask
ing that the rezoning be voted
down.
Another move. already begun,
calls for enlisting the support of
nearby and far-flung residential
communities, on the grounds that
rezoning of the tract would set a
precedent that could result in
commercial rezoning in other
established residential areas.
Somerset Mayor Frederick w.
Turnbull opened the meeting
with a warning that the town is
engaging in "a very formidable
battle"
Various Objections
He said the Town Council
opposes the rezoning because it
does not comply with ordi-
nances of our town, is not suit
able for our town or the adjoin-
ing communities. is not necessary
for our town and would create
hazards for our community and
adjoining areas"
The amount Of loss in prop
erty values would be tremen-
dous," he added.
Hobart Rowen, Somerset town
councilman. said the support of
adjoining communities, including
Chevy Chase Village. Drum
mond. Friendship Heights and
Kenwood. has already been
assured. He said a committee
headed by Mrs. Joseph O'Brien
Of 1923 Cumberland avenue had
obtained pledges from citizens
groups in the adjoining commu-
mites that petitions would be
circulated opposing the rezoning.
Mr.. Rowen said the town
council plans to develop a legal
argument against the rezoning
on the basis of the towns
charter which rules out COM
mercial buildings in the 51-year-
old community.
Prescott Doubtful
However, Mr.. Prescott, answer
ing questions from the audience,
said he felt the towns charter
provisions on commercial prop
erty had been abrogated by the
Maryland Legislature when it
gave the County Council ex-
elusive authority over recon-
ings in the county.
