The nearest to it, he said,
was a case where an explosion
in West Virginia hurled a rock

that West Virginia had juris-

causing the blast was in that

There was no law brought
to my attention on that point"
Judge Lawlor said. Il thought
perhaps there were precedents
on the West Coast, where they
have these big trees. I thought
maybe a tree in Washington
might have fallen across the
border, causing some damage
in Oregon.
Judge Lawlor said the suit
was properly filed. because the
driver was still driving and the
injuries occurred in Maryland.

Maryland,
1t is possible both States
have Jurisdiction. she added,
but in any event it was proper
to file a damage suit growing
out of such an accident in
Maryland.
The substance Of her ruling,
in a case growing out of an
accident at Pinto Bridge, which
spans the Potomac River be-
tween West Virginia and Mary
land, was that the driver was
still operating the auto, even
though it was hurting through
the air.
Joseph Zitomer, attorney for
two young sailors badly injured
in the accident, said his clients
were passengers in a car which
was heading for the bridge
from West Virginia into Mary
land on April /. 1858.
The car, he said. failed to
negotiate a curve and plunged
over an embankment just short
of the bridge. 1t fell about so
feet down and so feet out and

The Hour of Danger
Directing his remarks to Pc

most dangerous time of day
is between 4 pm. and 8 pm,
with the single most dangerous
hour from Z pm. to 8 pm.
Gen. yelling urged pedestri-

not to enter a street from be-
tween parked cars and to ad-
monish their children to be
more careful.
He noted a letter to the edi-
tor of a local newspaper where
the writer complained about
the number of fatalities to the
ducks around Pierce Mill bridge
in Rock Greek Park. A quick
check. he said, indicated that
the number of duck fatalities
was far less .than the number
of pedestrian fatalities during
the same period.

Fairfax Urged
ToBui|d Police
Quarters Now
2New Substotions
Needed, Chief
Informs Board

William L. Durrer yesterday
urged the Board of County
Supervisors to authorize i'm
mediate construction of a new
police headquarters building.
Terming a new headquarters
building necessary now to OPP
crate efficiently" Major Durrer
also said two new substations
are needed, one in the Mclean
Tysons Corner area and the
other at Annandale. to serve
also the Falls Church and
Springfield areas.
The county now has only one
substation, located at Grove
ton and serving the southern
part of Fairfax. 1t was COM
pleted in 1913. The present Po-
lice headquarters in the County
Court House building would be
occupied by the sheriff's de-
partment when the new build
ing Is completed.
In its proposed capital budg-
ct. the board has included
$125,O00 for planning and de-
signing q new police headquar-
ters building next year. Final
action, however. has not been
taken.
Trebles Floor Space
Major Durrer said the entire
headquarters would cost about
$3.50, 900, and would more than
treble the floor space in the
present facilities. He said he
could not estimate the cost OF
the two proposed substationS.
The police chief said the new
headquarters would be con-
structed on the 14-acre tract
behind the court house where
a new library building and
school administration building
also are to be erected.
County Executive Carlton C.
Massey said there is a posi-
bility the entire cost of the new

during the boards work ses-
sion on next years proposed

A second budget work session
is scheduled for May 2. A public

Of this modern-type air navi-

transmit helpful weather re-
ports and special flying condi-
ions from ground commune
cations stations.
The St. croix omni-direc-
tional radio range is another
step f onward for the Federal
Aviation Agency in its pro-
gram to install and operate
more than 1900 "VOR's'
throughout the United States
and its possessions.
In the future, the FAA plans
to add another feature to this
already capable electronic
equipment. At the present
with the ST. Croix "VOR" and
ot,her "VOR's" in the area, the
pilot can tell exactly where he
is at all times. Eventually,
this "VOR," and all others in
the system, will be equipped
with a distance measuring"
feature. Using this feature, the
pilot can tell just how far he
is from any given point. When
this feature is added, the pre-
sent o will popularity be
called "VORTAC."
The name @VORTAC' is de-
rived from the fact that the
o or direction finding
equipment, will be combined
with the distance measuring
feature Of "TACAN" Tactical
Air Navigation. The "VOR"
is 4 civil aviation develop

Returning after the half, the

quarter when halfback Bobby AL

twice in the fourth quarter. Full

II yards accounted for the final
two touchdowns. Brooks converted
both times-once by two-point run
and the other by kicking.
The Wildcats got their final

ter. Later, Linell Moore, native
of Jackson, Miss, bowled over
from the vineyard line. A two
point conversion ended the scor-
ing for the visitors.
In winning the entire Tiger team

Both Utica and Prentiss, were
patterned after Tuskegee, and
were among the first and lasting

buttons. These schools founded by
Holtzclaw and Johnson catered
largely to the underprivileged
group of their race.
