CHARTER MEMBER
Symphony Loses Vio|ist
BY WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star Stan Writer

A 19-year-old violist and the
National Symphony Orchestra
made a joint debut in Wash
ington in 1881.
"It was one of the most
thrilling nights Of my life,"
recalls George Wargo, now 48,
assistant first violist. II was
the youngest member of the
orchestra"
Tonight will be one of his
saddest. He is leaving the
National Symphony to accept
a teaching post at a college in
California.
II am dedicated to that kind
of work." he explained. "And
there is a need for me there"
Mr.. Wargo, who was trained
at the Peabody Conservatory
in Baltimore, is the newly
appointed chairman of the fine
arts division OF Pacific Union
College in Angwin, Calf. near
San Francisco.
The holder of a doctorate
from the Philadelphia Conserv-
atory Of Music, he has served
on the Peabody faculty and
was head of the music depart
ment at the Washington Mis-
sionary College.
He is violist with the Wash
ington String Quartet and has
composed several works, in
Guiding a symphony which he
conducted with the National
Symphony in 1916. He has per-
formed in Carnegie Hall, Town
Hall, Symphony Hall in Bos-
ton and the Philadelphia Acad-
envy of Music, and has given
recitals in Paris, Rome and
Salzburg.
A friendly man with a ready
smile, Mr.. Wargo is looking
forward to a full time career
in education.

Mart Seeks
u. S. Ruling
On Blue Law

Attorneys for an Alexandria
firm have asked that a three.
Judge Federal court be con-
vened to rule on constitution.
ality of Virginia's Sunday clos
ing laws.
A petition filed for the Gov
eminent Employees Mart at
Duke and Pickett streets also
asks Alexandria Federal Judge
Albert V. Bryan to restrain
Commemorative Attorney Earl
F. Wagner and Police Chief
Russell A. Halves from enforc-
ing the blue laws.
Filed by Attorney Louis Kou-
toulakos. the GEM suit con-
tends that the States laws
prohibiting the sale of all but
necessary merchandise on Sum
days concern "the establish
ment of religion" and violate
the First Amendment of the
Constitution.
The blue laws also violate the
Constitutions Fourteenth
Amendment, the suit contends,
because they deprive the GEM
store of its property on Sundays
without due process of law.
GEM attorneys have appealed
the stores Municipal Court
conviction to the Alexandria
Corporation Court. The appeal
has not yet been heard.
Company officials filed the
new petition after an attempt
to test constitutionality of blue
laws failed last month when the
State Supreme Court refused
to review a similar case APP
pealed by Georges Warehouse,
1929 King street.
In a related move, Mr.. Wag-
ner met yesterday with attor-
neyS for Drug Fair and Peoples
Drug Store to draft a list of
goods which the stores would
refrain from selling on Sunday.
The Drug Fair at GIT King
street and the Peoples Drug
Store at 1855 King street also
have been charged with violat-
ing the States blue laws.
Although the list drafted yes
terday is not complete, it con-
tains electrical appliances,
paint, luggage, office equipment
and some types of clothing.

TRANSIT
Two Virginia Bus Companies Oppose
Rapid Rail Lines as Unneeded

encroached on the railroad"
he noted. Gradually. the
railroad went broke and the bus
began to prosper.
Sees Trend Of History
> %That's been the history ali
over our country of rail lines.
If that has been the expert
ence of rail transportation in
suburban areas, what has hap
pened since to make anybody
believe rail lines can make it
financially now? I just don't
see it." he said.
Mr.. Broyhill said re realized
the bus-owners had attacked
the rapid rail system as being
economically unsound.
"But do you feel, as well,
that rapid rail will not serve
area transportation needs?" he
asked. "
Mr.. Davis cited statistics to
show that rail transit. despite
its speed. would move no more
passengers into downtown
Washington than could buses.
"You are increasing bus pa
tronage.," Mr.. Broyhill told Mr.
Davis. "Still, you are not m
creasing the number of your
riders in proportion to the
population. Why?"
Free Parking Important
Bus operators said free park.
ing space offered by the Fed.
eral Government to its EN-.
ployes was the primary stunn-
bling block.
1.-THE increase in parking
spaces at the Pentagon, fol
example, is in direct proper
ton to the decrease of oul
riders said Robert T. Mitchell
executive vice president Of
AB&W. He said, in answer
to a question from Representa-.
tive Macmillan, that more
bridges across the Potomac
would do little to help bus serv-
ice.
Instead, he said, bridge.
simply will encourage more
people to drive into the centra
area in cars and the congestion
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-11-11

delaying buses will be just as
great, he said.
A parade of witnesses is
continuing to keep the empha-
sis on rapid transit-with de-
rogatory digs at the disruptiVe
impacts of superhighways
thrown in on the side.
Proposals for a 330-mile net
work of new freeways, in fact,
got their first unqualified sup
port yesterday from Washing
ton I. Cleveland, of the Ameri-
can Automobile Association.
But even Mr.. Cleveland talked
more about the value of q
rapid transit system than he
did about highways, and Of
fered an optimistic appraisal
of its financing as, a self-sup-
porting enterprise.
Architects Criticism
The planners ideas about the
Washington of the future also
were dly criticized BY
Louis Justement. chairman o.
the American Institute Of
Architects National Capita
Committee.
Mr.. Justement blasted the
basic premise that future trans.
portation system should bt
based simply on a Continuation
of existing trends of growth
Instead, he said, tomorrow!
transit system should be viewec
as a means to an end - thu
reversal of some present trends
to create a more attractive
functional community in thu
future.
The impact of continued
freeways heading toward the
center of town is especially
dangerous, he said. One rea'
son is that they must end Al
some point on local streets
and, he contended, the loca
street system simply canno
handle such uncontrolled load
Iof cars.
John Coyle, a member o.
the Arlington Planning Com
mission, also urged that what
ever transit agency is set W
work strongly to reduce con
gestion.

An even more visionary look
into the future than Mr.. Toll
bert's air buses came from two
young scientists of Thompson
Ramo Woodbridge, Inc, an
electronics firm of Cleveland
and Los Angeles.
ElectrOnic Controls
They predicted widespread
use of electronic controls or
freeways which would auto
matically prevent bottlenecki
by closing ramps and otherwise
restricting traffic flows when
volumes approach the break
down point.
Motorists of tomorrow, sale
Drs. Adolf D. May and DAME,
L. Gerlough, may be required
to carry special radio equip.
ment, just like airplanes, tc
keep them in touch with traffic
control centers.
Research is under way, SAID
DR.. May, on "radar brakes,
which will automatically slam
brakes on when a collision is
imminent. Such gadgets, along
with automatic guidance" Of
cars on freeways will increase
the capacities Of freeways by
at least 100 per cent, he pre-
dicted.
Research in freeway cleo.
tronic control already is under
way on a limited scale neal
Detroit, DR.. May said, in which
a series of TV cameras permit
a control center to keep tabs or
traffic conditions. The idea i.
that the center, analysing the
situation, will be able to acti'
vate special roadway signs tt
warn motorists of impending
tie-ups.
And the really revolutionary
guidance" techniques are il
