County Denied

The Virginia Supreme Court
of Appeals denied a damage
claim against Arlington County
yesterday, and held that Virginia
counties are immune from per-
sonal liability suits.

cision Of Arlington Circuit Court

ment had been set aside by the
lower courts own motion
Morris Mann, jr.. of the $500
block OF North Sixteenth street

against the county after an auto
mobile jumped a curb and hit
him. He claimed the county was
negligent for not building a

County Begins to Sketch
New Route to Baltimore

Prince Georges County Off
Gals plan to plot the proposed
third Baltimore Washington
route east of the parkway, Fort
Meade, Friendship Airport and
in the direction of the harbor
tunnel.
Tentative thinking of county
heads now starts the new link
in the Seat Pleasant area par
allel and west of George N
Palmer highway. The proposed
limited access highway would
run in a northeasterly direction
to Odenton, in Anne Arundel
County, and probably into Route
10.
Arthur w. Tayman, county
director Of public works, empha-
sized yesterday the route is only
in the sketch stage" The
county commissioners instructed
him to proceed with his prelimi-
nary investigation. and said they
would try to set up a meeting
with the State Roads Commits
sion and Anne Arundel County
ottcialS to discuss the route.
Not as Replacement
The county heads said they
would try to set the meeting for
July II in Baltimore since they
cannot make a session previously
scheduled there for next Thurs
day.
Mr.. Tayman said the pro-
posed route is not intended TO
replace Palmer highway. which
now runs into U. s. Route so
at Buena Vista in Prince Georges
County. Both Palmer highway
and Route 10 are scheduled for
improvement in the roads COM
missions l2-year program.
State plans now call for the
new Baltimore Washington link
TO be a limited access road, part
OF the interstate system and
thereby eligible for Federal aid.
Roads commission officials have
indicated an interest in running
the new road between u. S. |
and U. S. 20. and along the
Montgomery Prince Georges
County border at some points.
Connections Uncertain
Mr.. Tayman said it was hard
for him TO pin-point any route
now since he has not been told
OF definite plans for Baltimore
City interstate tie-in and the
District inner loop highway.
Connections with these two
routes are necessary to put the
new Washington Baltimore
highway IN the interstate sys-
tenn. he said.

Head of Senate
Says Il Counties
Will Adopt 1t
By GENE GOODWIN
Star STAT Correspondent

OCEAN CITY, Md, June IS.
State Senate President Louis
L. Goldstein predicted yesterday
that all of Maryland's % coun-
ties will have home rule power in
five years.
He made his forecast in COM
intending Maryland municipal
officials for the way they have
used the home rule powers
granted them by the Legislature
and by the people in a 1876
referendum.
The success of municipal home
rule will be factor influence
ing the remaining 81 counties to
follow the examples of Mont
gomery and Baltimore Counties
in adopting home rule charters.
Senator Goldstein said.
Municipal home rule" he
said, lis one of the greatest
things the General Assembly has
ever done"
Fewer Bills
He told the ninth annual June
conference of the Maryland Mu-
nicipal League that the 1857
Legislature had enacted 81 NUM-
cipal bills and the 1855 session
enacted IA, compared to 227 in
1858. the last 90-day session be-
fore municipal home rule took
effect.
Senator Goldstein, Calvert
County lawyer who is being
talked about as a possible Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor
next year, also got in a rap at
statement made earlier in the
day by an Eisenhower admin
istration leader.
Robert E. Merriam, assistant
director of the Budget Bureau,
had told league luncheon that
much of the SIS billion the Fed
eral Government is spending for
aid to State and local govern
ments is caused by the failure
of those governments to face up
to their own responsibilities and
opportunities"
Greater Taking Power
Senator Goldstein later re-
torted:
IF We get SIS billion, you can
rest assured that we send them
$40 billion. I say give the
municipalities and the States
broader taxing powers so we can
collect more taxes ourselves and
cut out all that overhead in
Washington where they have a
lot of dead wood sitting around"
A resolution adopted by the
220 officials here from 81 cities
and towns called for the league
Legislative Committee to draft
"a bill for consideration by the
1859 Legislature granting au-
thority to municipalities to regu-
late and restrict truck traffic on
municipal streets.

Mr.. Styron agreed with DR.
Finucane that a pollution clean
up would be a boon TO water

tail Merchants Association have
termed the parking situation a
dire economic threat" to down.
town business. On the other
hand, the 500 members of the
Old Town Civic Association have
issued strongly worded state
ments asking for assurance that
the historic buildings will not
be torn down to make way for
parking lots.
Controversy Expected
The group will recommend
general areas near King street
for parking development. These
recommendations, some city Of
f1cials predict, will very likely
produce a great deal of contro-
versy. City planners have con-
templated multiple-deck parking
structures. such as those in
downtown Washington. The
cost, they admit may be pro-
hibitive.
Businessmen who formed the
Park and Shop Corp. recently
asked the council to buy parking
areas and rent them to the
corporation. The business group
admitted it could not raise
enough money to buy the neces-
sary land.
Right now there are I1,196
downtown parking spaces. OFF,
Gals estimate 2.135 more spaces
are needed to serve the 100000
square feet of commercial de-
velopment downtown adequately
They estimate another 1880
spaces will be needed in the
years to come if the remaining
