John E. Fondahl, head of the
Districts civil defense organi-
zation. is planning, to retire
about September /.
Mr.. Fondahl last night con-
flrmed this information but
emphasized he has not yet SUBJ
mitted any formal retirement
request.
The 60-year-old former Met
ropolitan police inspector has
discussed his retirement plans
with Commissioner Robert E
Mclaughlin. The question of
who will take over the post is
under study.
Mr.. Fondahl, who is at the
top OF his job grade, draws
$l3,950 a year.
Has Met Difficulties
Mr.. Fondahl had a major
part in the city's early civil
defense planning. In Septem-
Der. 1850, while holding the
rank of police inspector, he
was named acting director of
civil defense on a leave-of-
absence basis from the police
department.
Eight months later, Mr.. Fon-
uahl was appointed director of

which might qualify as urban
renewal projects. The school
would pay the full cost of the
land. The university would
have to obtain the remaining
property which it wants through
negotiations with the owners.
In a letter to University
President Oswald S. Colclough,
the Commissioners said:
The Board of Commissioners
at its meeting on July 9, 1859.
considered the proposal for ex-
banding the campus area Of the
George Washington University
which was submitted to US by
(former university President
(Cloyd H. Marvin under date
of November, 1858, and which
was approved in principle by
the National Capital Planning
Commission December 4. 1858,
thus reconfirming the assign
ment in the comprehensive plan
of this area for institutional
use.
Needless to say, we recog-
nize the need for strengthening
our institutions of higher edu-
cation in the Nations Capital
so that our citizens may be
furnished the best possible ecu-
Icational facilities. World con-
ditions and the ever-increasing

more pressing today than ever
before.

the civil defense office and has
held the post since that time.
Mr.. Fondahl's civil defense
service had not been entirely
serene. He has had his troubles
with public apathy, reduced
budgets and, most recently
with a Senate investigating
committee.
He was called before a spe-
cial investigating subcommit-
tee of the Senate Government
Operations Committee last
April to answer charges of mis-
management.
Cites Small Staff
He was asked to explain why
equipment had been mislaio
and allowed to rust, literature
not distributed, and records in
complete.
Mr.. Fondahl pointed out that
his budget requests have been
consistently slashed and de-
clared that his staff of six can
not handle the job.

both world wars, and rose to
the rank of lieutenant colonel

Thieves Haul Safe
On Owners Truck

A truck loaded with over
4 tons of bricks was used by
thieves Friday night to haul
away q 150-pound safe from
the United Clay Products Co.
IN Alexandria, Va.
The manager, Henry Odom,
said the safe contained about
$675 in checks and 5000 in
cash. A cement block was
hurled through a window to
gain entrance. A trail of blood
indicated the intruders had cut
themselves.
A f1at-bed truck, loaded with
1000 bricks, was driven away
with the small safe, police said.
The loss was discovered by Mr..
Odom yesterday morning.

as though it's carrying all the
traffic in the county"
This particular experts
knowledge is not confined to
statistics. He drives the most
heavily travelled part of Georgia
avenue-from Silver Spring to
Wheaton-every day.
Its real miserable driving"
he said, supporting his on-the-
road Illustration with traffic
count figures.
In 1850, an average of about
$4,000 cars a day passed oveI
Georgia avenue near the Dis
trict line. In 1852, after it hao
been widened to three lanes
each way, the number jumped
to nearly 41,000. By 1856, the
figure had reached 47,000.
Traffic Shows Decline
At this point, a strange thing
happened. Traffic entering Sill
yer Spring on Georgia avenue
began to decline and dropped
to $4,000 cars per day in 1858.
I'VE believe" said the traffic
expert" that driving in Silver
Spring became so intolerable
that people found other routes
which took them around the
business section"
This is borne out by the
number of cars recorded for
sections of Georgia avenue
north of Silver Spring.
In 1850. about 1880 cars a
day were counted near the
Georgia avenue-Viers Mill road
turmoil.
Last year traffic was up to
$4,000 cars a day-more than
any other point on Georgia
avenue between the District
and Wheaton.
"A lot of Georgia avenue
traffic was switched to Sligo

are cross streets and that traffic
has to be stopped every couple
of hundred feet or so in some
cases."
He said lights are automat-
ically controlled to speed the
flow of traffic during peak
hours.
THE no-parking ban during
rush hours and left-turn lanes
are also a big help" he added
Georgia avenue isn't as much
of a problem as Wisconsin ave-
nue. in Bethesda. where you
have parking during rush hours

on Georgia avenue at Forest
Glen road" said Carol Miller,
assistant superintendent of po-
lice in Montgomery County.
Although Georgia avenue is
almost Solidly packed with
autos from the District to
Wheaton, Inspector Miller con-
tends that traffic still moves
along well.
You must consider two
things" he said. Georgia ave-
nue. is carrying a heavy volume
and it's not a limited-access
highway, which means there

For one thing, he hopes the
law might act as a deterrent
to irresponsible selling and
buying. The seller can easily
check the court to see If the
buyer is laboring under numer-
Gus garnishment suits and re-
fuse, if such is the case. to
take the risk" Of selling on
credit. The buyer, on the other
hand, may be discouraged from
a spree of needless purchases.
The Judge is also hopeful
that the new provision will free
the court Of a great load of
detailed paper work, expert
enced under the old law.
Municipal Court Judge Mil
ton S. Kronheim, jr., who has
worked for some change in the
old garnishment law since
l949, is convinced employers
will find the law much easier
to handle If they will lust take
10 minutes of concentration to
understand how it works"
For years, employers have
felt they were forced to tangle
with red tape because of debts
incurred by an employee.
James A. Wiley, instru-
mental in drafting the law for
the District Bar Association,
thinks the employer under the
new law should find it much
more simple to deal with an
understandable headache"
Employer Requirements
The new law will require the
employer to deduct the 10 or
20 per cent from the employees
salary and make payments to
the individual seeking settle
ment of the employees debt.
Mr.. Wiley said forms are
now being worked out but en-
phasized the employer no long
er will be troubled by a pile of
garnishment suits filed against
the same man. Court appear
ances should also be reduced
for the employer in connection
with the suits, Mr.. Wiley said.
Another positive aspect Of
the new law, Mr.. Wiley feels.
will be a better relationship
between the employer and the
creditor. He also hopes more
settlements can be worked out
between the debtor and credi-
tor out of court.
Asked if the law has its loop
holes, Mr.. Wiley said:
There will always be the
deadbeats and they'll find the
loopholeS."

The District Commissioners
have Endorsed George Wash
ington University's goal Of ex-
panding its downtown campus
In a letter to university Of
ficials, the Commissioners said
that any specific expansion
moves which the university
hopes to make would have tc
be considered on their merits
at the appropriate time.
Earlier, the Commissioners
had referred to Corporation
Counsel Chester H. Gray, a re-
quest from the university fol-
approval in principle of its
campus expansion plan. Mr.
Gray, on the basis of several
points, advised that this move
would be meaningless because
it would not be legally binding
and might generate a law suit
With this opinion from their
chief legal officer, the Commits
sionerS gave what amounts to
a vote of support to the uni
verSitys hopes for expansion
They promised, but with quail
f1cationS, to aid the college
whenever possible in carrying
out its general goals.
The university's expansion
program calls for putting ur
new buildings on an enlarged

bottleneck in Silver Spring
While it has somewhat relieved
congestion at the Colesville
road intersection, traffic is
piling up where it cuts into
Georgia avenue.

that 1t is a matter of getting
the traffic lights adjusted"
Another Highway Needed
what we need is another
highway just as big" said In
spector Miller, "a limited-ac-
cess highway right alongside
Georgia avenue"
Such a highway has been
proposed to serve the burgeon-
ing Wheaton area. The re-
Gently published Mass Trans
portation Survey recommends
an eXpreSsway from the down.
town inner loop, along North
Capitol street to New Hamp-
shire avenue, west to Georgia
avenue in the Colesville road
area.
At this point, the freeway
would continue due north, east
of the present Georgia avenue,
to connections with the Cir
cumferential highway, Univer-
sity boulevard and Route 90.
Rapid Transit Proposed
Another eventual hope is
some means of mass transport
tation which would decrease
the number of cars streaming
to and from the populous
Wheaton Silver Spring area
during rush hours.
The Mass Transportation
Survey proposes a rapid rail
line in the dividing strip of
the recommended Silver Spring
eXpreSsWay.
The proposed line would pick
up passengers in subway sta
tionS downtown, move north
ward underground and emerge
above ground where the eX-
pressWay would cross New
Hampshire avenue. Rail cars
would use the median strip
right of way to a terminal just
