Portable Heater Ban
Sought in Alexandra

The City Of Alexandria is
preparing q drive against kero-
sene and gasoline heaters which
in the past year have fatally
burned four children.
The stoves, repeatedly in wide
use in the city and sometimes
used for cooking also, took the
lives of three children in 1857.
A. Clarke Slaymaker, chief
sanitarian, the Old Town Civic
Association and other citizens
groups have called on the city
council to amend the housing
and hygiene code to outlaw the
portable heating devices.
Under the proposed change,
only heaters which can be Sc
curely fastened to the floor or
wall would be allowed, Mr..
Slaymaker said.

Bill Draws Line
On Tombstones

A bill to prevent tombstones
from crowding the doorsteps
of the Custis-Lee Mansion in
Arlington Cemetery has been
introduced by Representative
Broyhill, Republican Of vir-
ginia.
He asked Congress TO trans
fer title to .76 acre immedi-
ately surrounding the mansion
from the Army to Interior. His
legislation would allow Interior
TO restore a flower garden
originally located south Of the
house and to "offer a sylvan
environment Immediately adj
jacent to the building Mr..
Broyhill said.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1959-03-05

The amendment is being
drafted by the City Health
Department and the Fire Pre-
vention Bureau. 1t probably
will be considered by the coun-
Gil late this month or early in
April.
Mr.. Slaymaker said the code
amendment would require that
the heaters be placed on a base
of some material which is
impervious to liquid fuels"
A Fire Department official
said this week that death by
fire in Alexandria could be
cut substantially if portable
devices were banned.
Mr.. Slaymaker said the port
ables are too easily kicked Or

tenn by which D. C. Transit de-
termines fares in the counties.
Difference in Fare
Mr.. LYMAN said the fare
charged by Suburban for the
same trips is IS cents.
Mr.. Lyman charged the APP
plication constitutes an effort
to obtain Suburban's routes for
nothing.
Outside the hearing room,
Thomas Parran. jr.. owner Of
Suburban, said that II PSC APP
proved sale of his line all of
his creditors will be paid in full.
He estimated that Suburban
owes about 100000 and that
ne would receive about $4,000
If the sale is upheld.
Public witnesses introduced
by D. C. Transit Endorsed its
plea to establish the new route
in Maryland. Some also backed
its claim to the Suburban
routes.
Sees Advantages

president of Lansburgh's De-
partment Store. said that in
addition to favoring the new
line he believes an integrated

bus service would benefit the

examination. he said the center
would welcome all the public
transportation it could obtain
and does not care who provides
it 50 long as 1t is eficiently ap-
piled.
Mrs. Bertha Myers, who OPP
crates the Marilea Nursing
Home at 1851 Colesville road,
Silver Spring, charged that
buses used by Suburban are
"old and broken down." She
said that their failure to MAIN
tain schedules often had pre-
vented her employees from ar
irving at work on time and had
impeded her business.
Walter F. Mulligan. presi-
dent Of the Prince Georges

his organization favors estab-
hshment of the new route pro-
posed by D. c. Transit.
He said he personally would
prefer an integrated transit
system in Montgomery and
would rather pay extra fare

Irwin E. Siegel, an executive OF
Lawrence Rhode. manager OF

Both seid their firms and EN-
ployes would benefit from a uni
Ned transportation system in
Montgomery. D. c. Transit says
that if it wins the routes 1t viii
establish such a system in the
county and link it with It's
other lines.
Both witnesses said they do
not care which company sup
plies the service so long as 1t
is eficient and co-ordinated.
Mr.. Rhode said that. all other
things being equal. an increase
in fares charged his employees
would be Instantaneous.
Inter- County plans to intro
duce witnesses later in the
hearing.
D. C. Transit conceded at the
opening day of the hearing
yesterday that fares it might
charge on some runs could be
considerably higher than those
now paid by riders.
Arguments Flare
other arguments which
fiared yesterday came in the
wake Of these recent develop
ments in the Montgomery
County transit situation:
/. Inter County. a newly
established subsidiary Of the
VIVA Transit Co. has con-
tracted to buy Suburban for
$i28.O 900. The Interstate Conn
merce Commission temporarily /,
approved the sale last Friday 4
Inter-County on Monday as
sumed management Of Sub
urban and began running buses
along the Montgomery lines
It is trying to persuade the
PSC to give it permanent con-
troll Of them by finallv approx
ing its purchase Of Suburban.
2. D. C. Transit, which re-
ports 1t now operates 164 buses
in Montgomery and Prince
Georges Counties, for some
time has sought to expand its
service in Maryland. After dis
closure last month Of Inter-
County's intention to buy Sub
urban, D. C. Transit asked the
ice and PSC to give 1t es-
sentially the same routes which
have been serviced by Sub
urban. According To one OF
its officials. D. C. Transit would
incur no obligation TO pay
Suburban's debt or otherwise
compensate its owner If the
request is granted.
3. The Washington utility
also has asked the PSC for
permission to establish a COM
pletely new route in Maryland.
1t would link Langley, Prince
Georges Plaza. Hyattsville and
Prince Georges Hospital at
Cheverly.
Lack Of Transfers
In testimony yesterday, Isaac
B. Goad, director of transporta-
ton for D. c. Transit, pointed
out that patrons of different
transit lines in the area do not
enjoy the right to transfer from
one to the other.
He asserted that If d. c.
Transit is allowed to combine
Suburban routes with those
that already operates in Mont
gomery, the benefits to COM
muters will be:
"Co-ordinated service over
wide area. the right TO make
transfers. savings in fare. re-
duction OF waits in making
transfers and speedier. more
efficient service"
Under examination by
D. Jay Lyman. who represents
Inter-County, Mr.. Goad said
that d. c. Transit would charge
81 cents for passage along some
routes from Rockville and Ash
ton to the District. He based
his estimates upon the zone sys-

IOWA FOOTBALL
TEAM NAMES
HARRIS CAPTAIN
1885,

Iowa City, Ia-Breal1ing all
established presidents, the 1887
members Of the University of Iowa
football team by secret ballot Mon
day elected Homer Harris, senior,
who halls from Seattle, Washing
ton, captain Of the next year var
sity eleven.
First Time in History
AS far as sport scribes have been
able to ascertain, the new Iowa
captain is the first Negro youth to
be named to lead a football team
among the larger colleges of the
country. The closest approach is
the captaincy of the North Dakota
University team held by Fritz Pol
lard, Jr.
Several Track Captains
Several Race lads have led Uni
versity track teams as captains.
They include Willis Ward of Michi-
gan; Metcalfe Of Marquette; Greg
DRY Of Columbia; Phil Edwards,
New York University; Beckett of
Marquette; Jimmy Lu Vale, U. C..
L. c.; Owens Of Ohio State, and
Brooks of Chicago.
PLAYED SteIlar Game
Harris, one of the outstanding
ends of the Big Ten Conference
since his sophomore year, played a
stellar game on a team which
seemed wrecked with dissension.
Ozzie Simmons, the Texas lad who
is acknowledged as one Of the coun-
try's greatest backs, was his team
mate. Most Of the touchdowns
ozzie made were made through the
interference and blocking given
him by Harris.
Quiet In Private Life
According to those who know
Harris personally he is unusually
quiet in private, almost approach
ing the shy stage.
The unusual recognition given
him sets him apart since the same
recognition was denied his team
mate Simmons despite his bril-
lance as a player.
Choice Popular
The naming of Harris is tremen-
dously popular with the Iowa stu
dent body, according to the stu
dent paper and Iowa's press
December IL, 1885.
