Route 123 in McLeon-Lonq|ey Area

Route 1913 along its present
route. This was one of the
alternatives considered at the
hearing, but the Highway De-
partment no longer is support
ing it.
The other principal route de-
bated at the meeting would
carry Route 1913 south of Nc
Lean. generally along the Pin
NIT Run Valley.
Six Proposals Discussed
While spokesman differed or
which of six alternative pro-
posals they favored, sentiment
generally was divided into two
groups-those who wanted tc
get Route 1913 as far as possible
from the existing route. thereby
preserving the estate character
of the Langley neighborhood
and those who wanted to keer
traffic through the Mclean
Langley area without diverting
it too far.
Supervisor Joseph H. Freehill,
who conducted the meeting. said
the Highway Department might
hold another hearing if the char
acter of the McLean-Langley
area changes before the WIDEN
ing project is started. Highway
officials indicated work may not
begin for five years. The only
section of Route 1913 due to be
widened Immediately is a short
stretch from the point where it
will be intersected by the George
Washington Memorial parkway
to the Langley fork.
\ Donald Burns, representing
the Mclean Business Associa-
ton. urged improvement of the
existing road. AS a second
choice. he Endorsed the Highway
Departments Plan F.
! Attorney Sam Neal. a neighbor

construction of the road as pro-
posed in Plan F would separate

Plea for Crash Helmets

Serious injuries suffered by a
Washington motorcycle police
man when his vehicle crashed
into loading platform brought
new demands today for protec-
tive crash helmets for motorcycle

ported in satisfactory condition

sachusetts avenue NV. After
tipping over, the machine-en-
Igine still running-fell on the
officer. dragging him 80 feet on
the sand and gravel.
Police Chief Robert v. MUIR
ray today said he probably would
seek a $4,000 congressional APP
preparation to buy helmets for
about 100 motorcycle officers.
Lack Of Funds Cited

matter for some time" said Chief
Murray, land we know we need
the helmets. We just haven't had
the money to buy them"
Chief Murray said he and IN
spector Henry H. Hefin, in
charge of clothing procurement
for the department, had in
spected several types of helmets
but had made no choice because
the department did not have the
money to buy the equipment

the helmets would be similar to
those worn by motorcycle officers

Unions Chart
Goals forStute
Legislators

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 8 R.-Or-
ganized labor led off a list of its
detectives at the 90-day Mary
land General Assembly with two
familiar stands - objection tc
right to work legislation and sup
port of standard wages on State
Jobs.
Seven principal items of inter-
est to labor were drawn up by
about 70 leaders of the Mary
Iland-District of Columbia Fed
Grafton Of Labor, President Harry
Cohen said yesterday.
A law requiring a prevailing
average wage on State contracts
was at the top. Such a law was
passed in the 1854 session. but
was declared unconstitutional in
court as improper subject matter
for the 30-day session.
The prevailing wage would be
determined in Baltimore City
and each county by a referee.
Mr.. Cohen said organized
labor will launch a double
barreled attack this year on the
so-called right-to-work bill which
was killed last year in the Sen
ate. The bill would outlaw
union shops.
While awaiting its expected
temperance he said labor will
press for an act which would
in effect forever block a pro-
hibition on union shops.
Mr.. Cohen said the labor fed
Grafton also will agitate for an
increase in the weekly maximum
jobless pay from $50 to $35 and
a minimum wage of 81 an hour
for all workers in Maryland.
The Advisory Council of the
Employment Security Board al
ready has recommended an in
crease of SO a week in the maxi
mum jobless pay.
He sis confident" a bill for a
State minimum wage will be in
troduced again and that it will
be for 81 an hour. the same as
the Federal law on employees en-
gagged in interstate commerce
A central State licensing bu-
reau for craftsmen also will be
advocated by organized labor.

posed tobacco products tax,
Maryland apply its sales tax to
purchases over IA cents and tax
restaurant meals.
The veteran Prince Georges
delegate estimated that raising
the individual income tax rate
from 2 to per cent would yield
about $40 million a year.
The State Teachers Associa-
ton is seeking an $500 increase
in State teachers pay min;mums
in the next two years. which
would cost the State an esti-
mated $ll million in the first
year and $22 million the next.
Minimum Plus $500
State teacher minimums,
which are supplemented in vary
ing amounts by Baltimore City
and the counties, now start at
$4,000. Both Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties provided
an $500 supplement for starting
minimums of $4,000.
Mr.. Wilkinson said he would
place both his revenue proposals
before the House Ways and
Means Committee. which, along
with the Senate Finance Com
mittee, will in all likelihood
formulate the revenue plan that
eventually will be approved by
this Democratic Legislature.
Mr.. Wilkinson's suggested al
ternate to the Governors pro-
posal to tax cigarettes at 5 cents
a pack and cigars at 2 to 4
cents each was the first of many
which are expected to appear in
this 90-day session.
Mr.. Wilkinson said he had
talked to many Prince Georges
County merchants over the past
week end and found them to be
highly opposed to the cigarette
tax because they believe it would
put them in a bad competitive
position with the District, which
levies only 2-cent-per-pack
tax.
Estimates on Taxes
He estimated that his sales tax
amendment would bring in about
SO million year. The Governor
has said he needs 81 million to
balance his budget for next fiscal
year. The tobacco products tax
he proposes would yield an esti-
mated SIT million. with STA mil
lion going to the State and $9.6
million going to the counties.
The 2 per cent sales tax is now
applied to purchases over so
cents. Restaurant meals are ex-
empt. as well as food bought in
grocery stores.
Meanwhile, Delegate Henry H.
Hanna, Democrat Of Wicomico,
and chairman of the Eastern
Shore delegation in the House,
said he will call a caucus in an
attempt to form an economy
bloc for this session.
Mr.. Hanna criticized fellow
members for seeking new tax
revenues rather than means OF
cutting State expenditures.
He said the Eastern Shore rep
resentatives probably will oppose
any increase in the State sales
tax rate but might accept some

A fellow out in Fairfax
County reports he picked up
a city cat at Twelfth and F
streets NV. several months
back and is now learning
about the perversity of
human nature.
The difficulty, he says, is
that she refuses to become
a country cat-knows how
to climb trees but not how
to get back down.
The villain of the piece is
a black tOmcat in the neigh
borhOOd. The first time the
tom chased the city cat up
a tree, and the city cats
owners paid the Fire De-
partment S. to rescue her,
it wasn't too bad.
Then it happened again,
to the tune of another S..
So down to the store went
the Fairfax County man
and bought a leash for his
cat. Now when she goes out,
she's on a leash.
And, he reports, the own
ers of the black tomcat are
berating him for being in
humane enough to leash a
cat!

Liquor SIeuths
Muff Six Cuses

Maryland agents have been
practicing vigilance, more or
less, in their drive against
overly large purchases of
spirits in District liquor stores
for transport into Maryland.
The week before Christmas,
a lady from Chevy Chase, Md,
went into a District liquor
store near the Maryland
border. After a brief lapse Of
time, she came out again and
drove away toward her home
with six Scotch cases locked
in the trunk of her car.
She was just a couple of
blocks over the line when the
Maryland agents went into
action. They halted her, and
after quick questioning, hauled
her to the nearest police sta
ton, despite her protests.
When they opened the trunk
and looked into the cases,
they were red-faced. The
cases were empty = being
taken home for packaging
Christmas gifts.
