fic offenses are increasing but
serious crime is decreasing.
1t. John E. Cullins, head of
the Arlington Police juvenile
bureau, said the biggest prob
lem is vandalism. He noted 1886
complaints of destroying pri-
vate property compared with
545 such complaints in the pre-
vious fiscal year. Most of these
complaints are handled in the
juvenile bureau and do not get
to court. Only one juvenile

there were few vicious assaults

called only one robbery.

All of them are members Of

Four Lines Now

The Washington area Is now
served by four rail commuter
lines:
The Baltimore g. Ohio runs
commuter trains from Balti-
more through the Hyattsville,
University of Maryland and
Laurel areas.
The Pennsylvania also runs
commuter trains from Balti-
more, east of the BIO route,
through the Cheverly, Lanham,
Bowie and Friendship Airport
areas.
Another BIO line serves
Silver Spring, Rockville and
Gaithersburg.
There is only one station
where commuters may board a
train in nearby Virginia and
that is near King street in
alexandria. Commuter service
on three lines operates through
Alexandria to Washington.
The four lines recommended
in the transit survey are:
One along the line of Wis
consin avenue from PookS Hill
north of Bethesda, to down.
town Washington.
Another from the Wheaton
area, through Silver Spring
into the downtown area.
A third from Hunting Creek
following a route west of the
Mount Vernon Memorial park
way, and over the Fourteenth
Street Bridge.
The fourth route would serve
the AnacoStia area.
2 Present Rights of Way
A comparison of existing rail
commuter service and the pro-
posed routes indicates there
are only two possibilities for
using present right of way
The proposed Wheaton-Wash-
ington lines follows somewhat

Union Station.
The proposed line from
Washington to Hunting Greek

The possibility Of using exist

be explored, although most area
officials are skeptical these lines
can be incorporated into the
four routes recommended in
the Mass Transit Survey.
The suggestion that present.
rail lines be utilized to cut the
cost of building an entirely new

week by District Commissioner
A. c. yelling.
In a memorandum to the
Transportation Committee of
the Metropolitan Regional Con-
ference, he pointed out that the
proposed new rail system would
cost more than $400 million.
He said that unless the Federal
Government agrees to pay most
of the bill, some less ambitious
plan should be followed.

Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin today said he agreed
that Gen. Welling's suggestion
should be explored. However,
he pointed out that experience

previous studies and the atti-

that existing service and right

into a new, fast service.
Mr.. Mclaughlin said the
routes of existing commuter
service do not coincide closely
enough with the routes rec
commended in the survey. He
added that new routes were
recommended on the basis of

WASHINGTON, R - Alaska has taken its place in the Nation al Archives Hall of States.
 The historic array of docu- ments, highlighting the history of each state, lines the seni-circular hallway surrounding the Archives display of the U. s. Constitution and Bill Of Rights.
 One of the two cases allotted to Alaska shows the ornate Russian original of the treaty of cession by which the United States ac- quired Alaska in 1867.
 The second case contains two more recent documents: the first and signature page of the Alaska Statehood Act signed by Pfesi- dent Eisenhower, Vice President Nixon and House Speaker Sam Rayburn. and the two-page pro- clamation formally admitting Alaska as the 49th state.

Executive Salary
 Fight Renewed In New Senate Offers

JUNEAU, R-A group of Dem ocratic legislators introduced companion bills Saturday to pro- vide an annual salary of $30,000 for the Governor of Alaska and pay of $20,000 year for the Sec retary of State:
 The action came after the House rejected 21-19 a conference com mittee report that recommended $25,0OO for the Governor and $18,- 500 for the Secretary.
 The new bills separated the proposed pay for the Governor and Secretary of State into diff ferent measures. The two off cials have been without salaries since they took office January 8.
 The conference report was the second on the executive pay ques- ton. The House and Senate re- jected the first committees re- port earlier this week. Rejection of the second committees report killed the original House bill - which called for salaries of $24,- 900 for the Governor and $17,5O0 for the Secretary. Alaska's terri torial Governor had been paid $19,000 year.
 Senate disagreement with the original House figures resulted in the bill being thrown into confer ence two weeks ago,
 The second conference commit tee report was acted on in the midst of a controversy. The House members of the. six-man commit tee contended the group had not actually met.
 At first the House voted 22-18 to accept the report. Later, on re- consideration asked by Dora Swee- ney of Juneau, it killed the pay bill by a 2-vote margin.
