Bail Bonds Here
Too Low, Cost Is
High, Judge Says

A Municipal Court judge says
bail bonds here are too low but
that bond premium rates are
too high.
Judge Edward A. Beard
made the statement yesterday
as he increased bond from $500
to 81 900 in the case of a woman
charged under the Uniform
Narcotics Act.
Judge Beard, who two years
ago opposed an increase from
S to 8 per cent in premiums
paid to bondsmen, said the 8
per cent rate, which applies
only to the first $1,000 of bond
in Municipal Court cases, is
Outrageous"
The defendant, Mrs. Sylvia C.
Mackie, 80, of the 900 block
of M street NV, was arrested
in a police raid at her resi-
dence last September 20 and
charged under the narcotics
act. Her case was continued to
December 7.
Judge Beard later explained
that he long has believed in
flationary trends do not justify
an increase for bondsmen, but
do justify raising bonds down
the line"

STAMP COVERS FIT NOW
Fire Box for Mail Upsets Fiiremen

The Washington Fire De-
partment normally has enough
problems without worrying
about mail boxes.
A local stamp collector. how
ever. put an end to that.
He went out and bought a
hollowed-out fire alarm box
and put it next to his front
door as q mail box.
It stands there, a red symbol
of safety. even though it
couldn't summon q fly swatter.
Fire officials are afraid some
body might need help and pull
that box, not knowing it was
powerless.
The whole problem started
when Edward Goldstein of 1909
Morningside drive NV. found
that his first-day covers were
being crushed in normal mail
boxes.
The solution appeared when
he was on a trip West with his
wife. They found a store in
Los Alamos, N. Mex, that sold
surplus fire alarm boxes.
I'VE found one that was
cheap and had the insides re-
moved" Mrs. Goldstein said
yesterday. when you pull the
lever, the whole thing opens
up. It's a wonderful mail box"
Fourth Battalion Fire Chief
William P. Sweeney said, how
ever, that while it was cute"
lit was too much like the real
thing for comfort.
Say one of his neighbours
houses Is on fire. He sees this
box, runs up and pulls it, and
waits for the fire department.
OF course, it'll never come that
way"
There's no law against hav-
ing one for a mail box" Chief
Sweeney said. But I asked him

Harland Bartholomew, vet

been retained as an adviser
by the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cap
Iitol Park and Planning Com
mission.
| A spokesman for the agency,
which prepares development
plans for Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties, said
MIR. Bartholomew will give
part-time service to the COM
mission on q retainer Of $1,000
annually. -..-. ~
A contract signed by. MFR.
Bartholomew and the agency
also provides that Mr.. Barthol.
omew's own planning staff will
be employed for specific prof.
ects on a per diem basis, with
fees to be set for each project.
| Supports Falkland Fight
Mr.. Bartholomew is a cham
pion Of parkland preservation
and was instrumental in devel-
opment of preliminary plans
for a proposed rapid transit
system in the Washington
Metropolitan Area.
A suburban Maryland plan
ner said today it is hoped Mr..
Bartholomew prestige and ex-
perience in the development
OF solutions for area planning
problems will help the commits
sion win public support for
future proposals.
In the last year. the commits
sion has met with severe op-
position to a series Of master
plans for development Of out
lying areas.
Homeowners also have fought
proposals for major highways
to link suburbs with the Dis
trict. The criticism has been
most severe in Montgomery
County where a link for Route
24O with the District in the
Bethesda area is still undeter-
mined after years Of public
hearings, deliberations by plan
nerS and inter-agency wran-
Cling.
Staff Lack Cited
The commission itself often
has complained it lacks ade-
quate staff to push preparation
OF plans with the speed de-
manded by governing bodies of
the two counties comprising its
planning jurisdiction.
An estimated 10000 persons
are moving into the commits
sion's regional district annually
in each county, confronting the
commission with difficult prob
lens in its attempt to reconcile
rapid growth with preservation
OF open spaces.
Critics at recent hearings
conducted by the commission
have contended its planning
staff relies too heavily on large
homesites to protect open
spaces and that planning pro-
posals are not sufficiently CO.
ordinated with plans for de-
velopment of rapid transit
systems and utility extensions.
Mr.. Bartholomew, II, is a !
former chairman of the Ma
tional Capital Planning Com
mission. He is on the adj
visory board of the new Ma
tional Capital Transportation
Agency and has been concerned
with planning here since 1920
when he aided in preparation

siVe development plan for the
