Traffic Point
System Pushed
BY GENE GOODWIN
Star Stan Correspondent

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. O.
Chances that Maryland will
adopt point system for punish
ing traffic violators similar to
that in the District took an up
swing today with a report that a
legislative subcommittee has
come up with a new bill.
Delegate William B. Wheeler,
chairman of the special sub
committee of the House Judici-
airy Committee. said the subcom-
mittee's measure has the back
ing of the Department of Motor
Vehicles, State police and spon-
sors of two previous point sys-
tenn bills that would be shelved
if the subcommittee bill moves.
The Montgomery County
Democrat said he will present
the bill to the full committee on
Tuesday and expects it to be
introduced under sponsorship of
the committee and the two
Baltimore City Delegates who
put in the earlier versions
Maurice Cardin and Edward
Dabrowski.
The Wheeler subcommittee
bill would direct the Motor
Vehicles Department to begin a
point system on January /, 1858.
Leaves Out Details
1t would leave it up to the de-
partment to work out the sched-
ule OF points that would be
assessed against motorists con-
ticted of various traffic viola
tons.
However, the bill specifies that
three points will call for a warn
ing letter. five points for a con-
ference. eight for suspension of
license and u points for revoca-
ton. No points would be re-
tanned longer than three years.
These provisions are taken from
the District law.
Mr. Wheeler said the subcom-
mittee felt it would be best to
let the motor vehicles depart
ment experiment for a year or
two with point values, and then
the legislature can nail them
down in law if 1t desires.
In the House yesterday. floor
fight was averted on bill to ban
trucks from the Maryland por-
ton of the Baltimore-Wa
ton eXpresSway when the spon-
sor asked for it to be recon-
so he could amend it.
The sponsor, Delegate Jerome
Robinson. Democrat of Balti-
more City, said the measure in
advertently failed to make pro-
vision for emergency vehicles,
such as tow trucks. to be per-
on the expressway.
Delegates from Prince Georges
and Howard Counties had been
to fight the bill.

New Site Is Opposed
For Geological Survey

The Public Buildings Service
has proposed locating a new
Geological Survey building near
the Dalecarlia Reservoir in
Northwest Washington.
But the Geological Survey it
self, which several months ago
considered the Dalecarlia site.
now says it has dropped it. And
Army and District authorities are
opposing any bu1ding there as
a threat to the areas future
water supply.
The Dalecarlia proposal was
made known two weeks ago to
ire District Commissioners by F.
Moran McConihe, Public Build
ingS Service commissioner.
Mr.. McConihe consulted the
Commissioners, apparently. both
because of their concern with the
water supply and because part
of the land in question is occu-
pied by buildings of the former
city-operated National Training
School for Girls.
The training school buildings
were abandoned last fall. They
occupy a l9-acre tract bounded
by Little Falls and LouChooro
roads and Macarthur boulevard.
The other land in question ex-
tends north OF this tract, be-
tween the reservoir and a resi-
dental area.
District and Army officials al
ready had under study the ques-
ton of future needs at the site
in connection with the expansion
of the water publication sys-
tenn. The Army already has a
filtration plant there.
Consultation Ordered
The commissioners. at Mr..
McConihe's request. instructed
water and administrative Off
Gals to consult further with both
the Army and the Geological
Survey on the water situation
and the building PROPOSAL. The
city heads NAV deal with the
subject formally next week.

tor Of the Geological Survey.

Alexandra Ministers
'Assai| Racial Bills
Virginia Handling
Of School Issue
Called 'Inept'

A group of Alexandra min
listers yesterday Endorsed a re-
cent statement by the Richmond
Ministers Association charging
Gov. Stanley and the State Leg
iSlature with 'inept" handling
of the racial situation.
At a meeting of the Alex
andria Ministerial Association,
Is favored and three were against
Endorsement of the statement
which is strongly critical of re-
cent State legislation to preserve
total school segregation.
The l,500-word statement was
designed, according to a spokes-
man for the Richmond associa-
ton, as credo around which
Virginians who oppose the Gov
ernor's no-integration plan and
"anti-NAACP' bills can rally.
First to Take Stand
Endorsement by the Alexan-
dria group followed two-hour
debate. 1t is the first ministerial
group in the nearby area to take
stand on the statement.
The main arguments were over
the wording of the statement.
+ A resolution to indorse it lin
principle" but not its specific
language was voted down by
those who said unanimity be-
hand the proclamation would be
more effective.
Ministers of two Negro
churches attended and voted
with the majority. They were
Luther Mills, pastor of the Oak
land Baptist Church, and K. P.
Barnes of Roberts Chapel
Methodist Church.
i The group made it clear that
the Endorsement was not an &C
ton Of the Ministerial Associa-
ton but only of those who agree
to sign it. A spokesman said
there are about 65 ministers in
the Alexandria area, of which 80
are pald-up. voting members of
the association. The resolution
will be forwarded to all the
ministers for their signature if
they wish to add their indorse-
ment.
The Rev. Richard H. Harris,
lr., assistant pastor at the First
Baptist Church, and secretary of
the association, said the question
of indignation or segregation is
only incidental" in the state
ment. The thing thoroughly
disagreed with is the high
handed method in which the
issue is being handled by those
in authority" he said.
The Rev. Everett K. Brown,
one of those voting against the
resolution, said the Richmond
statement contained "censori-
GUS judgment" of the Governor
and majority of the legisla-
ture. the validity of which Il
can never prove nor disprove.
Two Others Against
/ Also voting against the reso-
luton were L. w. Darst, Del
Ray Methodist Church. and
John Blakemore, Trinity Meth
odist.
Supporting the statement
were:

BROOKLYN, N. Y. Jan. 16
Why present-day fashion
has to go back to certain per-
iods of history to achieve new
ness in its own era remains
somewhat Of a mystery to
many women.
One Fashion Editor in New
York summed it up Succinctly
by saying Where would the
automotive industry be if
everybody was designing cars
today based on the nostalgia
Henry Ford design of 1922.
Yet design history repeats
itself. Even in cars. Gone and

Robert Riley, the research

However, it has only been
