GRADUATION
OOCOsTLY?
By JOHN RossoN
TEEN Editor

In the next few days, Washington area high
schools will award diplomas to some 1920 de-
parting seniors
On the face of it, the occasion can only be
happy. For most students it is, but not before it
costs them pretty bundle of cash.
A survey by TEEN shows that on the average,
those 1920 seniors both boys and grls-will
have forked up $50 each to cover their graduation
expenses. The total area outlay comes to a
whopping $12960O.

comments.

Legion Club
Site Okoyed
By darlington

In a sharply split decision
the Arlington County Board
yesterday granted the Ameri-
can Legion permission to es-
tablish a new club.

Association strenuously OBJ.
jected to placement of the clut
in a residential area on a tract
between Army-Navy drive anc
South Twenty-third street.
However, the planning com.
mission and Planning Director
Thomas Moore recommended
approval of the Legion request
These premises consist OF
the old Frances Lee Sickles
home place on a large wooded
tract, heavily overgrown with
underbrush and isolated on all
Sides" Mr.. Moore said.
Because of its seclusion and
ample size, this premise ap-
pears to be ideal for club house
USE"
Board member Ernest Wilt
said: IT am reluctant to fly
in the face of the commission
recommendation. I find it in
conceivable that these people
(the legionnaires) would main
tain a nuisance"
DR.. Lucas BlevinS said that
on past occasions opposition
to some Legion posts may have
been justified, but that he felt
reasonable objection could not
be raised against Post I'll
which will maintain the prop
erty as a private club.
Board member Leo Urbanske
also voted to allow opening of
the club on the property.
Chairman Herbert Brown
dissented.
"The sole question in nv
opinion is the appropriateness
OF use," Mr.. Brown said. "The
use of this property as a club
house, with all that implies, is
not appropriate in a residential
area"
Board member Ralph Kaul
said: II too am troubled by
the precedent you create when
you permit a club in a residen-
tial neighborhood. I don't know
where you could stop saying
yes to other fraternal and re-
ligious organizations who want
to do the same thing"
The use permit was granted
for one year only with the
restrictions that it would be
invalidated If the Legion OBJ
tains a license to sell liquor or
rents the club.

Sambo and his fog-horn
snarl are well-known in Gus

Probably a major contender
for the title of worlds travel
INCEST cat, he has racked ur
nearly 10000 miles of air, land
and sea trips since he was born
IS years ago in Fairfax County
AS a matter of fact, he cele-
brated his 18th birthday on
Friday by arriving at National
Airport to wind up a little
three-week jaunt from Manila

OF course, he limped a little

might want to know about US.
If he has money to burn, a
spy can even pick up over the

of many sections that cost

that show where the Navy has
its ammunition stored in hill

There also are available over
the Government counters aerial
photographs of almost every
square foot of the country.
However, the Government is a
little testy about some sensitive
areas and a spy may be asked
to fill out a form explaining
why he wants photographs of
a particular section. But any
spy worth his trench coat can
come up with an excuse that
should pass easily.

Squeamish about going directly
to the Government, he can
turn to any one of a dozen
private map-making firms and
private organizations and get
equally detailed maps because
most private organizations base
their maps on those produced
by the United States Govern
ment.
Government officials admit
that in most cases a foreign
agent can buy better maps of
the United States over a drug

able to obtain in some foreign

Bible Transit
Plan BaCkedby
Area Leaders
Move AppIuuded
For Formation
OF Subway Agency
BY JAMES G. DEANE
Star Staff Writer

A Senate-House committees
proposals for an immediate
start on blueprinting a WASH
ington-area rapid transit Sys-
tenn won a mostly favorable
reaction yesterday from key
area civic leaders.
Backers Of rail transit as a
major solution for the areas
traffic jams applauded a pro-
posal for immediate creation Of
an agency to lay the ground
work for a Washington subway
with links to the suburbs.
Also indorsed was a recon-
mended ban on new arterial
highway projects in the Dis
trict's controversial Wisconsin
avenue corridor until after the
potentials of a subway pro-
posed for the corridor are fully
tested.
McLaughIin's Dissent
District Commissioner Rob-
ert E. Mclaughlin registered a
partial dissent to the Friday
action of the Joint Committee
on Washington Metropolitan
problems, headed by Senator
Bible, Democrat of Nevada, in
Recommending transit legisla-
tion for early consideration by
the Senate and House District
COMMITTEES.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, a leading
supporter of the general pur-
pose of developing a transit
network. indorsed the need for
a beginning on necessary plan
ming as soon as possible.
He complained that the Com
miSsioners had no knowledge
in advance of the committees S
intention of barring major
highway projects in the Wis
consin avenue area or of an
other provision included in the
recommended legislation which
would halt further streetcar
abandonment pending recon-
mendations from the new
agency.
Other leaders reached yes
terday reacted enthusiastically
to the Bible committees rec
concentrations.
Maryland State Senator Ed
ward S. Northrop, specifically
Endorsed the Wisconsin corri-
dor proposal, asserting: "You
can't have mass transit COM
peting with arterial freeway."
Warren J. Vinton, president
Of the Montgomery County
Citizens Planning Association,
called the Bible committee's
bill excellent and "a very fine
start" on what he said is an
urgent need for new rapid
transit facilities.
Montgomery Backing
DR.. Robert S. Marvin, presi-
dent of the Montgomery Coun-
ty Civic Federation, said he
thought the federation in gen.
eral would favor the bill.
Maryland's Route 240 has
been dangling awaiting a de-
cision on where it is to come
into the District from the
Bethesda area as a new free
way. The District Commission
ers-with Mr.. Mclaughlin dis
senting - have opposed the
Wisconsin corridor location, as
has the Maryland State Roads
Commission.
Another Endorsement of the
bill came from David Sanders
Clark of the Committee Of 10C
on the Federal City. He said
the committee strongly favors
rail transit.

New Building Asked
By Municipal Court
Old Courthouse
Space Sought
As Alternative
BY ROBERTA HORNIG
Star staff Writer

Chief Municipal Court judge
John Lewis Smith, jr., has
asked the District to provide an
additional building for hi
Space-hungry court.
In a letter to Commissioner
Robert E. Mclaughlin, Judge
Smith recommended three al
tentative suggestions to reliew
space pressure. They are:
l. That the District requesI
an appropriation from Con-
gress to construct a third Mu
nicipal Court building.
2. That it request money to
add a connecting wing between
the already existing criminaI
and civil courts standing be-
tween Fourth and Fifth ano
E and F streets NV.
8. That all or a substantial
part" of the 8,000-square-foot
old District Courthouse across
the street from Municipal
Court on Judiciary Square be
turned over to the courts.
Selective Service Housed
The 14O-year-old courthouse
now houses the Selective Serv-
ice System. But General Service
Administration planners have
been discussing moving the Sc
lective Service to other quarters.
Municipal Court authorities
would like to have this building
because of its nearness to thC
other courts.
Commissioner Mclaughlin,
however, wants the building to
be the City Hall when and If
the Selective Service System
moves out.
Yesterday the Commissioner
said Judge Smiths request
would be studied. But he said
he still believes the old court
house should go to the District
Government.
In his letter, Judge Smith
pointed out that at present
there is not a square foot o.
space in either of the two (Mu-
gicipal Court buildings which
is not being completely utilized"
IT am sure you are familiar
with the fact that the courts
growth in the last few years
has caused both the criminal
and civil division buildings to
be overcrowded," Judge Smith
wrote.
He pointed out that the
court had to cut up Jurors
rooms to house three judges
when the Domestic Relations
Court was established three
years ago. This has resulted
in an insufficient number Of
jury rooms to accommodate
celebrating jurors, he said.
When Congress passed the
Reciprocal Support Act two
years ago, the court had to
resort to basement space to
house the new Office, the Judge
said.
And No Sub-basement
Judge Smiths letter is the
first time Municipal Court has
ever officially asked the Com.
missionerS for more room.
We've been making do with
what we've had" Walter F.
Bramhall, chief clerk of the
Court. explained. But now
