Also appearing before the

Corporation Counsel Clark T.
King. Mr.. King appeared yes
terday and was asked why
three drivers stopped for al
legged violations Of liquor trans
portation laws were not prose-
cuted by the Corporation Coun-
sells Office.
/ Presented Verbally
In his reply today, Mr.. King
said only two of the three cases
alluded to had been presented
to the Corporation Counsel's
Once on July 2, and then only
verbally.
Mr.. King said his investiga-
ton revealed that passengers
in the two taxicabs in question
had bills of sale for the liquor
in the vehicle. Previously, Mr.
league had received a report
that persons in possession OF
the liquor had not had bills OF
sale as required by law.
Earlier. Jack Dolton, presi-
dent Of the Amalgamated Cas-
ualty Insurance Co., testified
that his company's coverage
protected passengers when they
were being taken from the Dis
trict into Maryland or Virginia
The subcommittee had received
complaints that such coverage
stopped on Washington cabs al
the District line. Mr.. BOLTON
in answer to a question, said
he was sure of the coverage
when the cab had passengers
and thought that the vehicle
might be covered when empty
on the return trip. The hear
ings resume at 10 am. tomor-

Local Stops Planned
Mr.. Hoover said his engineers
have planned a continuously
moving belt supporting cars for
10 persons to transport COM
muters from rapid rail termi-
nails downtown to local stops.
The passenger simply would
step of his rapid transit car
onto the belt. Local stops
would be about 1900 feet apart,
according to Mr.. Hoover.
This swift transit system Is
one alternative posed by Mr..
Hoover for regional transpor-
tation of the future. The others
are express buses freed from
other trafiic by exclusive lanes
in new major highways and
automobiles dominating new
highway traf1ic from the outer

Mr.. Hoover has made il clear
his studies so far would favor
a rapid rail system. except for
the fabulous cost. which is still
undetermined.

The
Rambler
-. Tells a Story
About q Colleague
By GEORGE KENNEDY

One of the things the
Rambler has been trying to
bring to the attention Of
readers of this column is
this: It's a lot of fun to work
for a newspaper.
There is a commonplace
about this work that should
have been outworn genera
tions ago but still persists.
1t Is that one Of the prin-
cipal compensations is that
you meet such interesting
people"
It's true. And many of
them are within the craft.
The interesting people they
interview are lucky if they
get to know them.
Take Mary Lou Werner,
a by-line familiar to Star
readers. Mary is tall, broad
shouldered and slender. Her
mother insisted on years of
dancing lessons, and she
moves with grace. She has
dark brown hair, hazel eyes
and-the Rambler hopes
she will forgive him-freckles
that especially show up in
the summer.
It's hard to believe, but
Mary Lon must be about 80,
because she came to work
for The Star II years ago as
a copy girl.
She became The Stars
reporter for Alexandria, her
home town; then for fast
growing Fairfax County, and
now she is The Stars politi-
cal reporter for Virginia.

about the business Of squaring
away the camp site.
Some so scouts from Michi-
gan gathered in small groups
around the scoutmasters before
taking cold outdoor showers and
hitting the bed rolls in their
pioneer tents. Most of the
scouts had brought air mat
tresses, but a few slept on the
bare ground BY preference.
Troop 81 from the Alhambra
School in Phoenix. Ariz.. ar
rived in Fort Hunt yesterday
after a six-day journey, during
which the boys camped out all
the way.
These "a campers. led by
Pop" Jones, brought complete
messing facilities with them.
Last night they prepared a
turkey dinner with all the
trimmings and entertained two
Republican lawmakers from
back home. Senator Goldwater
and Representative Rhodes.
Turkeys Airlifted Here
The boys prepared the feast
complete. with the exception OF
the turkeys which we're air
lifted to National Airport.
Not all the scouts who have
massed in the District pre-
liminary to the encampment
in Valley Forge are as venture
some as the campers who
cooked out in the nearby Viz
ginia woods yesterday.

As Ship Sank

CASABLANCA, Morocco.
Sept. % (R.-After two days
on the raging ocean in a half
sunken lifeboat. five survivors
Of the German sailing ship
Pamir came aboard a United
States rescue ship and made
one immediate request: Water.
They were given milk and
.gulped down gallons of it.
The next thing they did was
pray.
This was the story told today
as the five young Germans
reached Casablanca aboard the
United States Military Trans
port service ship Geiger on
their way home to West Ger
many.
The Pamir, under sail from
Argentina to Hamburg with a
load Of barley, was caught sud-
denly by Hurricane Carrie a
week ago. The five survivors
were picked up Monday. A
sixth survivor was rescued
Tuesday. The other 80 are as
sumed to have persisted as the
steel-hulled bark lurched into
a 40-degree list and sank.
Cling to Boards
The Geiger took the young
Germans from the United
States steamship Saxon shortly
after their rescue.
They all got haircuts, said
the Geiger's barber, but they
wouldn't let him cut their
boards.
Before taking off by plane
for Frankfurt. the five told the
narrowing story of the Pamir's
sinking and the deaths Of
other seamen.
When the Pamir went into
the list it was impossible to
stand on her deck. they said.

be merchant seamen. plunged
on the ship in bunches-some

them under.
