Airport Troffic Sets
Sd Record in Month

10000 local good weather
flights daily over the country.
Beginning July /, the airlines
win begin operating all flights
above 10000 feet under instru-
ment flight rules. which means
more work for controllers.
The military services, under
q voluntary agreement, are now
performing all nontactical Jet
flights below 10000 feet on the
airways under instrument rules.
The military also has served
notice of their desire to make
maximum use Of full instru-
ment flight rules, including
climbs and descents and cruis-
ing attitudes by both Jet and
conventional aircraft. =
/ The impending traffic jam
will not cause a breakdown in
the control system. 1t will
merely mean that delays win
be more frequent and Of longer
duration.
It means that each aircraft
under instrument flight rules
Is assigned its own block Of
air In which no other plane Is
permitted. To assign this
space and keep the aircraft
under positive control by radar
and communications takes
time. The more aircraft APP
plying for and using that space,
the more time it takes.

The judges made their re-
marks at a meeting of the

the fields of family life, educa-
ton. health. religious life and
recreation, in addition to its

Whether the council will be
able to begin work in these

whether the Congress approves
its request for $4,000 for addi-
tional stan members.
The request is now before the

IT TOOK US "a hours to
get here-k keeping the speed
limit. We clicked 215 miles.
We took U. s. / to Fred
ericksburg, Va, and then II,
the road through Yorktown.
Taking time out, we
stopped at Gloucester Court
house for a half-hour's
sightseeing. 1t would be a
crime to give that place the
go-by.
The little county buildings
are still in use-except the
tiny debtors prison. Work.
men were reflooring it. 1t
viii merely serve as a re-
minder of times past.
You realize that when
these little buildings first
came into use, the lawyers
and officials did not arrive
in horse drawn buggies.
There were few roads. They
came on horseback.
The courthouse was built
in 1865 to replace one on the
same site that had burned.
The debtors prison was
built before 1854.
They have been preserved
by building a brick wall
around them and dividing
the highway so it passes on
both sides.
We entered the courthouse
and we're more than a little
embarrassed to find we were
interrupting a legal confer
ence in front Of the bench.
We shouldn't have been.
We were invited in and in
troduced to the participants,

principal county family with
a Mann Page prominent in

parted, but we had taken up
more than is minutes of
their time--something that
would be inexcusable in the

Street Light Study
Urged by BroyhiII
Dim Areas Cited
AS Aiding D. c.
Crime. Crashes

Representative Broyhill today
proposed legislation for q study
leading 10 better District street
lighting.
The Virginia Republican said
inadequate lighting In some
areas invites crime and en-
courages traffic accidents.
He said he plans to introduce
q bin authorizing funds for q
comprehensive study by the Dis
trict Highway Department 70
determine areas Of principal
trafiic hazards and street crime.
He hopes the study can be COM
pleted this year and that the
District can submit a detailed
plan to Congress next January
for improving lighting in the
areas In question.
The District already has q
street : lighting Improvement
program. But It Is geared 70
the city's i3-year highway pro-
gram, and It will be years before
some areas get major attention.
Downtown Worry
Mr.. Broyhill said he is par.
ticularly concerned about sons
streets In the vicinity of down.
town public buildings and
shopping sections. He mem
toned the Capitol. the vicinity
of the Lincoln Memorial and
several downtown thorough
fares, including Twelfth and
Eleventh streets and Sherman
and Vermont avenues north Of
Massachusetts, avenue NV.
Numerous areas adjacent to
the better-lighted downtown
shopping center and in neigh
borhoods near Government
buildings Of historic interest
are inadequately illuminated
and thereby invite criminals to
use these areas for their depre-,
dations." he said.
He said visitors as well as
residents should be provided
with every protection possible
and that street light improves
ment, while costly, would be an
important deterrent to street
crime, as well as traffic acct.
dents.
s25O,0OO a Year
The District is now spending
about s250.000 Q year on new
street lighting, most Of 1t re-
placement Of lights. The re-
Gently approved public works
program also proposes some IS
million in new street lights.
The city has some $4,000
street lights. More than 10000
Of them have been improved or
replaced with modern equip.
ment in the last six years.

lamps.
The Highway Department.
has sought the advice Of the
Police Department in many Of
these installations with the spe-
cific purpose Of discouraging
crime.
Officials pointed out that
some Of the areas mentioned
by Mr.. Broyhill are partially
under the control Of park aus.
thorities rather than the city.
The Capitol area is controlled
by Congress.
Officials in the Highway De-
partment indicated they would
welcome support for accel-
Grating the lighting improve
ment. They noted that this
would depend primarily on the
provision Of adequate funds.

Court Decision
Seen Hurting
Prosecution
Attorney Scores
Appellate Ruling
On Larceny Cuses
by CARL IRVING
star stan writer

cases probably win be stymied
BY q recent appellate court de-
eision. the Municipal Courts
chief United States attorney
predicted today.
The Municipal Court Of APP
peals last week ruled that the
Government must prove owner
ship Of stolen property In order
to prosecute. The Government
this week fled q motion con-
tending proof Of possession Is
sufiicient evidence for prosecu-
ton.
Many thieves undoubtedly
will be able TO escape punish
ment under this interpreter
ton" the prosecutor, Edmond
T. DAILY. said today. THE de-
cision has, therefore, caused
great concern in our ofiice." he
noted.
Police records show that
there were 2.e7s arrests for
larceny last fiscal year In the
District. the second most
numerous category among the
more serious crimes.
Already in Effect
Municipal Court judges were
reported to have put the APP
pellate decision into effect i'm
mediately. One United States
attorney earlier this week was
required by a Judge to bring an
executive vice president Of a
large food store chain into Mu-
nicipal Court to prove that food
q defendant was charged with
having stolen actually belonged
to the firm.
The decision principally af-
fects thefts from stores or larg-
er businesses. In the past. Mu-
nicipal Court judges have ac-
cepted the testimony Of store
detectives or employees who
vouched for the ownership Of
goods which had been stolen.
The appellate decision re-
versed q Municipal Court YER
dict in a larceny case on the
grounds that ownership Of the
property alleged to have been
stolen was not proved.
Ownership Element
The decision specified that
"there is q fundamental re-
quirement in every prosecution
that the Government must, d.
rectly or circumstantiaIly. prove
the essential elements Of the
crime charged. In a larceny
case" the decision stated. lone
Of the elements is ownership of
the stolen property"
The appellate division of
the United States Attorneys
office has asked the court to
modify its opinion in order to
accept possession" as an al
tentative to Ownership"
The motion argued that the
courts opinion that ownership
must be proved in a larceny
case is "unwarranted." Com
mon law precendent has SOL
idly established that proof Of
possession is sufficient to prose-
cute a larceny charge, the mo-
ton commended.
Proof Troublesome
Mr.. DAILY noted that his Office
frequently has had to rely on
proof Of possession in order to
prosecute because ownership
was too difficult or impossible
to prove.
In many larceny cases, he
pointed out. individual and
corporate owners are either far
from Washington or unable to
spend an entire day waiting TO
testify in a case.
Mr.. Days office will attempt
to meet one aspect Of the ruling
by establishing a file Of papers
certifying Incorporation for To-
cal firms. Mr.. DAILY hopes that
judges viii accept these papers
in lieu Of testimony by an ofii-
Ger Of the corporation.
