THEN THE QUIET was
shattered. A Southern Rail-
way train, northbound, came
down the Cameron Valley,
blasting away with the
whistle at every grade cross
ing. The locomotive engineer
has to do that-a matter of
law. This mile : a minute
juggernaut seemed to be say
ing, "Out of my way or
perish. I am the most de-
Structive thing on earth"
But the rails are quite a
distance from this house on
the hill and the locomotive
whistle usually has that far
away mournful note. The
Southern was a pioneer in
changing the horrible diesel
horns to signals resembling
the old steam locomotive
whistle.
The sound is much better
than the blasts from the
Washington g. Old Domin-
ions diesels that disturb
people in Parkfairfax and all
along its line through Arling-
ton County. Now that the
Old Dominion has been pur-
chased by the Atlantic Coast
Line, may be something will
be done about it.
There was a puzzling
sound, something like an
airplane but 1t didn't go
away. Then the Rambler
realized that 1t was a diesel
locomotive idling in the
valley below. What a change
in the American sound back
ground has been caused by
the substitution of the high
rpm. diesel for the deep
breathing steam locomotive!
The birds had stopped
singing. They'll do that about
a half hour after dawn. APP
parently they start feeding.
At any rate, the Rambler
rolled over and went back to
sleep.

voices from among our elected
officials to speak and act with

said, are "timid souls (who)
have a regrettable tendency to

Detectives from headquarters

The juveniles were held until
their parents signed releases.
The adults we're all released

Chief of Police Robert v
Murray said the precinct COM
manders must exercise their
own judgment in conducting
such investigations. He said
he had discussed the case with
Commissioner Mclaughlin. but
said he had received no direc-
tiveS from the Commissioners
as to future handling of such
cases and had issued no di-

He admitted that in this case,

said.

THE RAMBLER DECIDED

THE RAMBLER DECIDED
to make predawn insomnia
interesting by seeing how
many bird calls he could
identify. 1t turned out to be
easy.
Next came the unmistak-
able metallic sound of the
blue jay. The listener was
just thinking that it was
about time a song sparrow
was heard from when one
came in. He gave his little
song full throat, just as he
does in the spring. The tiny
"cheep" of the chipping SPAR
row could be heard between
StanzaS.
Then the long : distance

ing dove and the scolding
caws of a crow, disturbed
from his roost on the tall
sycamore tree that stands
below the little stream called
Taylor Run by lights going
on in the houses nearby.
That was easy. Then the
Rambler decided to see how
many other sounds he could
identify in the stiffness of
the dawn.
He heard only one auto
mobile horn. Fortunately we
are well away from the main
highways.
There was the tiny little
"toot-toot" of a locomotive
always heard at this time.
That's a conSiderate en-
gineer. He knows that there
are many people sleeping in
the Cameron Valley on a
Sunday morning. He doesn't
want to disturb them. And
he's as considerate on week.
days.
An airplane went by, but
at a distance. They used to
pass so close over the roof
tree at Parkfairfax that the
Rambler would sit up in bed
and shout, "Pick up your
wheels!"

Strong Plan Demanded
Mr.. Lehman, a longtime
prepayment of strong civil rights
legislation, suggested this pro-
gram of legislation and Execu-

speech:
/. Congress should enact
legislation that would encourage
school districts willing to de-
segregate, give the courts more
authority to push desegrega-

General with authority to seek
injunctions against non-com-

he said.
Chief Murray SAID large Scale
interrogations are not unusual,
but their number should be
governed by the nature of the
crime being investigated. He
pointed out that in investigat-
ing four murders in recent
years, police picked up 6,170
persons for questioning.
In the waitress case, Mrs.
Barley was treated at District
General Hospital for cuts and
bruises of the head and face
and a severely bruised nose.
Chief Murray described the
beating as a brutal and vi
cious' attack.
Remark Made on TV
Commissioner Mel aughlin,
criticizing the number of per-
sons questioned in the case.
said yesterday that there won't
be any more such roundups. "
He made the remark on the
WTOP-TV program, City

On the same program, Mr..
Mclaughlin and Commissioners
David B. Karrick and Col. A. C.
Yelling discussed the Districts
financial situation.
Each defended the SASS
million, six year public works
program as necessary to keep
the city's physical plant from
deteriorating. They also out
lined the need for an increase
in the authorized Federal pay
ment to $32 million and au-
thorization of a 500 million
Federal loan.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said local
taxes cannot be increased
further without driving more
individuals and businesses to
the suburbs.

Second County Fire
Damages Building
In Capitol Heights

The Roman Gardens Restau-

tended was nearly destroyed
by fire today.
Montgomery County Fire
Marshal Charles Howe esti-
mated the damage at about
$50 900.
An apartment and barber
shop in the Capitol Heights
business district was damaged
in another fire this morning
Damage was estimated at $4,000
by Prince Georges County Fire
Marshal Lawrence r. Wolff.
Eight fire companies re-
sponded to the blaze at 1902
Central avenue. The building
is across the street from a
lumber yard and next door to a
store which was burned out last
summer.
Fought by SO Firemen
Four fire companies and
about so firemen fought the
Georgia avenue blaze for more
than four hours after it was
discovered about 1880 am. by
Ia D. c. Transit driver who
was passing by.
The restaurant, formerly
known as Turner's Acres, is
located in the $4,000 block of
Georgia avenue adjoining the
Harmony Hill subdivision.
Firemen said the interior of
the three-story frame building
was almost completely burned
out. The fire was believed to
have started in a basement
compressor room.
Several flremen were over
come by smoke and exhaustion
fighting the stubborn flames
which took about two hours to
bring under control.
Floors Collapse
Firemen said the first and
second floors collapsed. The
basement was flooded with
about 2 feet of water poured on
the fire.
Firemen said the restaurant
was closed shortly after IL pm.
Fire Marshal Howe said the
property was owned by Ray
A. Turner, a retired District fire
captain. and had been leased
recently to John Milano.
The fire marshal said the
restaurant had been built on
residential land and had been
operated on a non-conforming
use basis. The property and
surrounding land owned by Mr..
Turner has been the subject of
much litigation, the fire mar
shall said.
Capitol Heights Blaze
Joseph LiCalzi, assistant
chief of the Capitol Heights
Fire Department. said the blaze
there started in a second floor
apartment over the barber shop.
He said the back part of the
building was burned out, and
the first floor barber shop suf-
fered water damage.
The flames were confined to
the four-room apartment and
the stairway The building is
owned by Angelo Vandomia
who runs the barber shop,
fireman said.
Firemen said a passing
motoriSt, identified as Buddy
Bowling, spotted the flames
shortly after 6 am. as he was
on his way to work in Kenil-
worth.
Traffic on Central avenue
was tied up for nearly two
hours.

Welfare Fund Cuts
Senators Act
To Restore
81 Million
BY CHARLES L. HOFFMAN
Star stan Writer

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. 3.-More
than 81 million of the STA mill
lion the Senate Finance Com
mittee had recommended be cut
from Gov. McKeldin's budget
would be restored under pro-
posals made here today.
The restoration move COIN
cided with a bitter protest filed
by Gov. McKeldin over the ex-
tent of the committees cuts in
health and welfare spending.
Senators, arriving for an un-
usual 9 am. meeting. found a
f1ve-page message from the
Governor on their desks pro-
testing the committees actions.
Gov. McKeldin said the "se-
riouS attack on public health
services and public welfare
far surpasseS anything that we
had imagined possible"
Fears FederaIized Medicine
The Governor said the pro-
posed $436, 1926 reduction in the
medical care program means
refrigeration of the worst kind
in a great program in which
Maryland has pioneered"
He said if this reduction es-
tablished a pattern for future
legislative sessions. the program
is on its way out and federal
lied medicine is on its way in"
The major reservations pro.
posed include 100000 in the
medical care program; $751;
452 in local welfare jobs: S4O2.-
Alb in food costs for welfare
recipients; S250,0O0 for a special
contingency fund requested to
meet emergencies created by
the present economic recession.
There were also proposals
made for additional cuts Of
nearly 100000. Chief targets
would be the State police force
and the Tidewater Fisheries
Commission.
Senator Clifford Friend, Re-
publican of Garrett County,
proposed cutting off 40 new
State policemen the committee
had voted to allow. Another
$130.000 would be cut from the
Tidewater Fisheries budget to
eleminate an additional boat
and operation of the Governors
yacht. Potomac.
The Senate, after a short
meeting to receive the amend
mentS to their proposed cuts,
recessed so that sponsors could
explain the effects of the new
amendments to the Finance
Committee.
Gov. McKeldin scored the
Finance Committees cut in
welfare food costs as unreal
iStic."
He said the present allow
ance for a person on old age
assistance is 70 cents a day.
He added that there have
been no adjustments in food
allowances since 1851 although
actual food costs have risen
7.8 per cent.
Calls Situation Impossible"
Labelling the present situa-
ton as impossible" he said
restoration of the full allow
ance requested will be little
enough"
AS to the welfare depart
ment staff cut, the Governor
said that the department
presently is dangerously un-
derstaffed" and that IS new
positions are badly needed"
He said the situation was
such in Baltimore City that
welfare workers had to ADAM
don investigation of old cases
to process the increasing VOL
ume of new ones.
The finance committees cuts
in the medical care program.
the Governor said, either would
force a moratorium on the pro-
gram for a specific period. elm
ination of the medically indi-
gent fund program, or the pro-
rating of funds over a year and
providing services at so to IS
per cent of the present formula.

The
Rambler
z. Listens to Heur
The Dawn Break
By GEORGE KENNEDY

There was an enthusiastic
note in the chirpings of the
birds yesterday morning.
Perhaps the earlier sunrise
$3.50. Perhaps they feel
that they have reason to be-
lieve that spring is coming.
The Rambler woke at the
usual 6:15. 1t was Sunday;
no need to get up at 7. So,
very comfortably with his
head on the pillow, he lis
tened to the birds.
He isn't very good at identi-
flying bird calls; knows only
the obvious ones. But that
was just what these were.
In the real cold weather,
the birds are silent. On an
ordinary winter morning they
will dutifully greet the dawn
with a few chirps. But yes
terday they were letting out
all stops.
The birds will start at the
faintest suggestion Of the
coming dawn-more than a
half hour before sunrise. AS
many a light sleeper knows
to his sorrow, the mocking
birds are likely to sing at
any time during a moonlit
night.
For a time the cardinal
was dominating the chorus
with his way of whiStling for
his dog and then following
it up with a series Of short
chirpS.
