Maryland Wife's
Alienation Suit
Banned in D. c.

Federal Judge Edward A.
Tamm ruled yesterday that q
Maryland housewife cannot
bring an alienation of affection
suit in the District.
His ruling was based on the
fact that such suits are banned
in Maryland
Judge Tamm held that even
though almost all Of the acts
which alienated the affections
may have occurred in the Dis
trict that the actual loss Of af-
fections would be suffered in
the marital domicile. This, he
pointed out. would have to be
in Maryland.
In his ruling. Judge Tamm
set aside a recent jury verdict
for $1,000 in favor Of the Mary
land housewife against a Wash
ington woman.
Judge Tamm's ruling was
handed down in a memorandum
opinion, which attorneys said
was the first written ruling on
the question involved. Attor-
neys suggested there may have
been oral rulings earlier from
the bench.

Mr.. Zuckerman suggested he

Better than that, the helpful
jeweler suggested, if he would
give him his name, address,

police.
The man dutifully supplied
the information, which Mr..
zuckerman passed on to police,
along with the ring.

BeaII Urges
ParkwayLeg
Senute Unit Ends
Link Hearings

The Senate Appropriations
Committee today closed the rec
ord on citizen arguments over
q George Washington Memorial
parkway link through Prince
Georges County.
Defenders of the scenic river
roadway outnumbered oppo-
nents at committee hearings
yesterday.
Maryland's Senator Beall,
Republican, and Representative
Landlord, Democrat, insisted
they spoke for an overwhelm-
ing majority Of their constitu-
ents in favoring the parkway.
Foe Challenged
With Horace White, presi-
dent Of the Fort Washington
Forest Community Association,
they urged restoration of 81
million deleted by the House
for q 71a-mile parkway leg
from Fort Washington to Mont
gomery County.
Mr.. Landlord attempted to
drain some Of the strength
from arguments of Willis Tufts,
parkway opponent, by chal-
longing the number he claimed
to represent.
Mr.. Tufts spoke for the
Broad Greek Citizens Associa-
ton to brand the parkway as
an extravaganza" Further
more, parkway routing shifts so
continuously that property
owners can't plan housing or
park development, he said.
Rising Costs Cited
Less than one-third Of the
membership attended the Broad
Greek Association meeting at
which the anti-parkway vote
was taken, Mr.. Landlord con-
tended.
Representative Landlord and
Senator Beall emphasized land
values are skyrocketing. Now
is the best, If not the last
chance, for the Government to
acquire park right-of-way, they
stressed.
"One year from now will be
too late" Mr.. White added.
Developers stand poised to
butcher the river front and
bulldoze trees along the scenic
route"
County officials have agreed
to put up 81 million of the
50 million grant. If approved by
Congress.

He said he expected that

time in September.
Mr.. Mclaughlin. discussing
the pay raise on a recent radio
broadcast. said it should put
Washington in an "even better
position to contend with the
forces Of evil that infest every
large city"
He said the police department
now should be able to I'LL out
its force without any waving
Of high qualifications.
The Commissioner noted that
1t has been difiicult for the
public to understand why the
city could not recruit men even
after Congress authorized the
2,5O0-man force a couple Of
years ago.
But he explained the Com
had repeatedly con-
tended that the pay has been
inadequate to attract good
