Engineer Commissioner Thomas
A. Lane, speaking on radio sta

the Commissioners agree that
there are inequities in the Dis

He indicated the city heads
would support legislation

Smith, Democrat OF Virginia,
that would exempt social Sc

emptions for persons over IS

are much more stringent thar

A bid to establish a private
athletic club on the Arlington
property of Mrs. w. w. Weeks
lost yesterday. leaving the g.
year-old widow again in flnan-
cial jeopardy from a 300 per
cent assessment jump.
The county board. after a two
and-a-half-hour hearing. voted
down the National Capital Ath-
letic Clubs request for permis-
sion to build on the l5-acre
property at 4275 Little Falls
road.
Residents Of the Walkers
Chapel area turned out in force
to oppose the use permit request.
The boards action was on a
two-to-nothing vote. Dav vi d
Krupsaw and Ralph Raul voted
no, and the remaining three
members abstained.
Earlier this year, Mrs. Weeks
was notified that the assessment
on her home was to be raised
from $3.50 to $38,260. After an
appeal to the Board of Equaliza-
ton of Real Estate Assessments,
the figure was set back to about
$30,000-tripled rather tn n
quadrupled.
Tax Would Jump
Under the present rate, her
tax payment would 60 up from
about $3.50 a year to $1,050.
The widow, who has a $2.10O
a year pension, has feared that
the higher assessment will force
her to sell the property and
move. Under the athletic clubs
option, she would have been able
to retain her home and about
three surrounding acres.

prisoners. Judge Howard with
drew that objection. Then he
ruled out the admissions be-
cause he said the accused had
been held too long at. the pre-
cinct house. The prosecutor ar
gued in vain that the firemen
had not been questioned all the
time they were there but had
waited while witnesses were
questioned.
Drinking Reference Banned
The Judge ruled out any refer
ence to drinking because he said
this had nothing to do with the
ARRAY. He ruled out testimony on
the fist fight on the same ground
as well as on the, ground that
those engaged in the fist fight
were named on the two different
papers. He ruled out all eye
witness testimony on the four
flremen engaged in one scuffle
over the gun because he said he
did not go along with Mr.. War;
ner's argument that two ARRAYS
occurred simultaneously.
Judge Howard then acquitted
the four on the affray charge.
Pvts. Jasper and Grayson were
also charged with carrying a
deadly weapon-a rifle. Judge
Howard said that under the
statute a deadly weapon has to
be capable of concealment and a
rifle cannot be concealed. He
threw out the rifle charge.
Mr.. Gasch and Mr.. Wood
questioned this ruling on the
ground that other judges have
consistently ruled a rifle was
capable of being carried con-
cealed.
Trial Board to Act
Pvt. Woody was charged with
carrying a deadly weapon-a
knife. The Judge threw out that
charge on the ground that Pvt.
Woody could not be connected
with the knife. Since Pvt.
Woody's own admissions were
excluded from the evidence, the
Government could not make the
knife case.
Commenting on the case aft
erwards, Mr.. Lawson said Judge
Howard gave the Government
every chance Judge Howard
agreed.

Opposed to President
Two leaders of Federal en-
ploye organizations questioned
by The Star attributed the de-
cline to a swing away from Pres.
ident Eisenhower by many Fed
eral employees.
Federal employees have had
only one pay raise since 1851,
and that was the totally made
quate increase approved in
1885," said William Doherty
president of the National As
ISOLATION of Letter Carriers.
Recalling that President Eli
senhower has vetoed two Fed
eral pay raise bills, Mr.. Doherty
noted that the average workers
wage in private industry has in
creased more than 20 per cent
since 1852, while the increase
for Government employees has
only been 8 per cent.

rector of the National Fedora

the Eisenhower administration

But because the motorist is
also a taxpayer helping to pay

him to help make sure his
money is invested in the SAT-

The roads being built to-

If they are built of the most

INSURANCE TIPS
ky Vsstui lennon, CsneroI Manager
Nstisnut Association Of Independent
Insurers e
What's Wrong With
Compulsory Auto insvroneei

You hear q lot these days about
compulsory automobile liability
insurance and how it'd be a good
thing because everyone who caused
IN accident would be able to pay
damages.
I You'd certainly think the insur-
ance industry would be for COM
pulsory because if everyone had to
buy insurance, that'd mean more
sales. But, it doesn't work that
way.
Making the buying Of liability
insurance compulsory won't mean
that everyone will have insurance
because there will always be peo-
pie who will ignore the law no
matter how strictly it may be en-
forced. And it won't mean that
everyone who is injured and the
families Of those who are killed
will be paid for their suffering.
An accident victim can't recover
damages from hit-and-run driv-
er who's never caught, or from an
uninsured out-of-state driver. Nor
can he recover from a driver
whose insurance has been cam
eelled or has expired. He can't re-
cover, either, if there is no proven
legal liability, or if he is at fault.
/. Compulsory leaves too many gaps.
The real problem is to find some
way Of cutting down the tragic
loss Of life and limp or our high
ways. Compulsory won't help one
iota. As matter of fact, it'll
have the opposite effect for it
won't take reckless and unsafe
drivers off our highways. The
effect Of compulsory is to grant
license to main, and to say to
such people, "Go ahead and drive
and have an accident. You have
paid for"
