authority. The Park Police
chief has the responsibility but
inadequate authority to carry
out his Office. Consequently, the
force should be re-established
as a separate division rather
than a branch Of MOP, with the
chief reporting direct to the
MOP superintendent.
Further down on the list of
improvement priorities SUBJ
mitted by the consultant were
these:
Trial use Of jeeps to patrol
the Chesapeake and Ohio Ca
nal; procuring larger horse
toting vans to replace the
World War style carriers now
used to transport Park Police
Steeds; assignment of two-man
teams for night scout car pa
trolls; staggering hours Of some
officers so as to leave no gaps
in police beat coverage: base
longevity pay on years of serv-
ice on the force rather than
in grade.
Cost Undetermined
Neither Mr.. Leonard nor In
terror Department officials
could estimate the cost of the
various physical improvements
to the force. A number Of the
recommended improvements
such as the creation of a trial
board-would require congress
sional action.
Mr.. Leonard found that the
improvements included estab-

other property owners along the

the three principal questions he
would raise in contesting the
condemnation procedure. were:
/. Does PEPCO. since it is not
a Maryland corporation, have
the statutory right under State
laws to condemn land? Mr..
Brown said he doubted that
PEPCO's l947 acquisition Of the
Great Falls Power Co. franchise
in Montgomery County entitled
it to the same statutory rights
granted to the Great Falls firm
in 1900.
2. If the utility does have the
right to condemn land, may it
do so without an authorizing ac-
ton by the PEPCO Board of
Directors?
3. Does PEPCO have the right
to exceed a 2.000-acre limitation
of land ownership in the State of
Maryland? The limitation. Mr..
Brown said. was applied by the
State Legislature to railroads

said was essential to pre-
serve our way of life and to
preserve Virginia as we know it. "
Democratic leaders casting
about for possible substitutes
for Mr.. Gilmer in the race are
likely to find no dearth OF
material.
Early speculation centered on
State Senator Albertis Harrison
of Lawrenceville as a likely
party nominee. Others who at
one time or another have indi-
Gated an interest in the nomina-
ton include State Senator Mills
E. Goodwin of Suffolk; former
Delegate Hale Collins of Cow
ington and former Delegate w
r. Broaddus of Martinsville.
None of these four would
commit himself on whether he
would now be interested in the
party nomination. AL expressed
regret that Mr.. Gilmer had quit.
Already on Ballots
Mr.. Gilmer's name already had
been printed on the ballots for
the July 9 primary and doubtless
will remain on them. Any votes
he receives, however. cannot be
certified. State election officials
still were debating today what
might happen II anyone received
a substantial number Of write-in
votes.
Mr.. Gilmer has repeatedly de-
MED he did anything wrong or
unethical. His statement of
withdrawal said he had tried
conscientiously to serve my fell
bowman with honor and integ-
rity."
But he said naturally" he had
become deeply concerned that
my family has been grieved by
the smear tactics and unwar-
|ranted personal abuse which ]
have received"
The criticism by the insurance
underwriters resulted from Gill
mer's action, while he was United
States attorney for Western Vir-
ginia. in writing letters for Ed
ward p. Lambert Of Roanoke,
an agent of the National Old
Line Insurance Co. The letters
recommended a policy Mr.. Lam
bert had for sale.
At the time, Gilmer was a resi-
dent director Of the insurance
firm.
Mr.. Gilmer's commissions in
1858 and 1854 amounted to
$892.50. He said that was the
extent Of his remuneration from
the company and that he re-
Igarded it as any other legal fee.

man Of 1891 Hawthorne street
NV. He said his nephew, Ed
mund @. Coe. then II. was swept
over the falls and escaped with
minor bruises. A check OF The

The young man, now a 65-
year-old Methodist minister In
Charleston, s. c., slipped from

an 18-foot-wide gap over the
water and was suddenly pre-
cipitated into the foaming, roar

said.
He was carried 100 yards
downstream, held underwater
all the way by the current, and
narrowly escaped being dashed
to death on the boulders. The
Star said he was somewhat
bruised about his limbs and
body"

TO survive the falls. Another man.

the court for new trial. He
commended that PEPCO's right to
condemn land in Maryland was
questionable from on at least
three points.
The electric utility's new $35
million power plant. now under
construction on a 1.000-acre site
near Dickerson, is scheduled to
be in operation by the summer
Iof 1859. Starting at the plant,
the company intends to construct
a 220.000-volt high-power line
on a 250-foot strip extending
some 35 miles to a connection
with a Chillum Md line.
The entire power line right-of-
way totals about 1000 acres. and
involves portions of f26 proper
ties. PEPCO officials recently
said more than 80 of the proper
ties had been contracted for.
