Judges sWouId
Ruise Traffic
Jail Terms

The judges Of Municipal
Court here have asked the Dis
trict Commissioners to seek
legislation providing sitter jail
terms for many traffic Offend
erS.
The recommendation for
seeking the new legislation was
contained in q letter sent yes
terday by Chief Municipal
Court Judge John Lewis Smith,
jr. to Assistant Engineer Com
missioner Jess P. Unger. Col.
Unger had written the Judge,
asking for suggestions for ad-
ditional regulations or legisla-
ton which would assist the local
courts in promoting traffic en-
forcement.
In answer to this query, the
judges recommended that for
those traffic offenseS which
through the District Code
provide for a sentence of no
more than $500 or 10 days, the
penalty should be raised to
$500 or 80 days.
There are only about 10 traf-
flc offenses for which the Dis
trict Code requires specific
penalties. The code gives the
Commissioners power to set
penalties in other offenses
under terms of the traffic regu-
lations set up by the Commits
sioners. However, the Com
missioners are limited to set
ting the penalty at 5000 or 10
days.
Thus Judge Smith suggested
the Commissioners should seek
approval from Congress to raise
the jail term to 80 days for
those offenses in which no spec
iilc penalty Is PROVIDED.
The judges also voted in a
meeting on Monday, Judge
Smith said, to raise the pos
sible penalty for offenses deal
ing with use of operators Ii
censes for motor vehicles in the
District.
Under the present code pro-
vision, a penalty of $500 or 10
days is provided when a person
uses someone else's permit or
allows another person to use his
permit. The judges recon-
mended that the Commissioners
ask Congress to change the
penalty under this section of
the Code to a $500 fine or i'm
prisonment not to exceed 80
days.

Preparing for a cocktail

any kind.

view of the United States

About l0:15 am, in the

Gen. Thomas Power, SAC
chief, said SAC had more
power than any other mill
tary force in the history Of
the world.
Senator Saltonstall ques-
toned the general about that

and Gen. Power said he would
like to see "the shelves filled
to the level of the Sustainer."
Then the general said the
B-52 was obsolete and OBJ

hoped, in a way, it was in
dicated, it (the bomber)
would be (obSolete) about
the time the BIO was phas-
ing in and the B-52 was
"phaSing out" though he
didn't say it that way. Not
exactly.
Senator Stennis said bum

stall said he wanted to look
at it from the overall point
OF view" Gen. Power said
the BIOS speed factor had
been increased by three" and
that this was a fantastic
step forward"
Over in the New Senate
Ofhce Building, Secretary of
the Army Brucker, a few
minutes later, testified that
"I'm coming to that and I'm
glad you're interested in

Nine children each week are
eligible to assist as cafeteria
helpers. in 20-minute shifts Of
three each, and thereby earn
free lunches which normally
cost IS cents or s1.75 q week.
How do these fourth, fifth

"Neat!" said Willie Cady, 10,

cafeteria with an ease born of
experience.

enough, I can buy some rocks"
David Yogi, 10, said he was
saving for some projects, but
hadn't decided yet how to
spend it.
The idea Of having pupils
assist in the cafeteria began
four years ago as an expert
ment. Later there was some
talk of abolishing it, but the
children themselves protested.
The children have the advan-
tage of being able to eat early
during their five-day stints and
also of having second helpings

disqualification OF the first
Judge scheduled to hear the
case.
Mr.. Reyes charged that the
prosecutor, Gordon I. Smith,
has made it appear that the de-
fense alone was responsible for
having Sierra County Superior
Court Judge Winslow Christian
step out of the case, which is
scheduled for trial February IS
in Downieville.
In his motion mailed to Su-
perior Court, Mr.. Reyes claimed
that Mr.. Smith first broached
the subject of disqualifying
Judge Christian, and that the
defense Joined him q. solely
in pursuit of a fair trial. ="
Excerpts Included
Mr.. Reyes included excerpts
from a letter he received from
Mr.. Smith, in which the prose-
cutor said For personal and
political reasons only, as have
previously indicated to you, I
would prefer some other Judge
to hear this case"
In the letter, Mr.. Smith also
pointed out that Judge Chris
tian was a former district at
torney, and "is somewhat pros
ecution minded"
g.. I feel you will have a
more liberal attitude in repre-
senting your client before an
other Judge" the letter con-
tinued.
Mr.. Smith went on to say
he would not file an affidavit of
prejudice by himself, but felt
it would be "best for everyone
concerned" if both sides did so.
However, Mr.. Smith told The
Star on January II that Mr..
Reyes objection alone would
have been enough to disqualify
Judge Christian, but that I'VE
Joined the defense" so pros
pective jurors would not blame
the removal on the defense.

Teacher Raise
Hearing Slated
ByAssemb|y
Tuwes Bill to Get
Airing Tuesday
By Joint Group
Bya star stan Writer


hearing of Senate and House
committees on Gov. Tawe6'
teacher pay plan has been
scheduled for Tuesday, it was
announced today.
State TIE a ch er Association
representatives, who moved into
the State House today in a
determined effort to shake
loose more funds for teacher
pay, viewed the early hearing
as an attempt to push through
the Governors program before
the teacher association can
organize its forces.
The hearing will be before
the House Ways and Means
Committee and the Senate
Finance Committee.
NOrthrOp's View
State Senator Edward S.
Northrop, chairman of the
Senate Finance Committee, said
the hearing is not much earlier
than normal and denied that
there was any attempt to speed
through the proposal which
has the Endorsement of the
Governor and the Legislative
Council.
Robert Y. Dubel, assistant To
Milson c. Raver, executive
secretary Of the Maryland
State Teachers Association
said petitions signed by 10000
voters are expected to be pre-
sented to Gov. Tawes urging
more money for teachers.
Teacher pay and the dis
position Of $22 million sur
plus are expected to provide
major fireworks at the session
OF the General Assembly which
opened today.
Gov. Tawes has indorsed a
plan which would give pay
raises to only those teachers
with 10 or more years expert
ence. The association wants a
raise for all teachers.
Mr.. Dubel said the prospects
OF getting more money than
that recommended by the Gov
ernor appear to be getting
brighter. This thing is catch
ing on fire all over the State, T"
he said.
Last night. State Republican
Chairman D. Eldred Rinehart
called on the General Assembly
to return part Of the surplus
to taxpayers through reduced
income or property taxes.
COP. Indictment
The Republican chairman
said Gov. Tawes has backed
down on q promise to give
teachers q pay raise, has
played footsie" with Baltimore
Democratic boss Jack Pollack
and has inflated top patronage
rolls by "indiscriminately ex-
panding commissions. to
repay political obligations"
The liberal band of 10 Re-
publicans, whose numbers were
decimated considerably in the
1858 Democratic sweep, re-
elected Harry T. Phoebus of
Somerset County as minority
floor leader in the Senate, and
Lester B. Reed of Allegany
County as minority floor leader
in the House of Delegates.
The Democrats renamed
George w. Della of Balti-
more as president of the SEN
ate and Perry o. Wilkinson as
Speaker of the House. A Cor
don Boone of Baltimore County
was returned as majority floor
leader of the House and Mr..
Northrop to a similar post in
the Senate.

MotherweII Trial Shift

The defense today made another change the To-

charged in the death Of Mrs Pearl Putney of Washington
John T Reyes Washington attorney for Motherwe said
the new plea was being made because Of prejudice Sierra
County Ca against his client which he said grew out of the

by Senator Neuberger, Dem
ocrat of Oregon, to determine
the advisibility of granting
funds for the Washington
buildings.
They have been planned for
five years. Their construction
is considered by many local
officials as vital to the redevel-
opment of the Southwest area
of the city. The buildings also
would lift the face of the Fed
eral sectors of Washington by
providing quarters for Federal
employees now at work in tenn
porary buildings.
Dispersal Doubts Blamed
Uncertainty over the dispersal
policies Of the Federal Gov
ernment was understood to be
q major factor in the withhold
ing of the committees approval.
A turn-down by the committee
could bar appropriations for
the buildings.
A new law passed last year
requires clearance by such COM
mittees in both Houses of Con-
gress before any money can be
freed for construction.
President Eisenhower had
asked Congress this session for
money to start two of the build
ingS involved-one for the Food
and Drug Administration at C,
D, Second and Third streets
S.W., to cost $25.6 million. and
the other to line the Southwest
Mall along independence ave-
nue. between Seventh and Ninth
streets, $50.7 million.
The committee also deferred
action on:
Federal ONCE Building No. 5,
$35.6 million, to house numer-
Gus agencies now in temporary
structures. The tentative loca-
ton is in the Southwest.
Federal Office Building No.
9, $27.2 million, to house the
Civil Service Commission, and
the Federal Power Commission
at Nineteenth. Twentieth, E
streets and Virginia avenue
NV. Employees of both COM
missions are in obsolete or
temporary quarters.
Geological Survey Building,
1922 million, planned to bring
together workers who now are
scattered in 16 locations around
Washington.
Cleared in 1855
All these projects were cleared
by the Congressional Public
Works Committees in 1856
under a discarded lease-pur-
chase system of building. The
1853 law required re-approval
for direct appropriation de-
manded by Congress as a sub
stltute for lease-purchase.
Costs Of the five buildings
have risen by nearly $40 mil
lion since 1856, according to
the plans of the General Serv-
ices Administration. Increases
reflect higher-priced labor and
materials. Some, such as a
doubled estimate for the new

marks. His reference to cold
war partisans dragging US into
a labyrinth of endless disputa-
tons" is hardly an encouraging
sign that a compromise on
inspection is in prospect at
Geneva. In fact Mr.. Khrush-
chev seemed to be writing of
the possibility Of any system
of controlled disarmament in
the nuclear field and suggest
ing his reduction of conven-
tional forces as an alternative.
There are. no doubt, a num-
Der of reasons why Mr.. Khru-
shchev might find such a course
attractive. Apart from the OBJ
vious propaganda value Of such
a large-and quite unverif1able
- unilateral gesture in the
cause of world peace, it also
would ease Russias serious
shortage Of industrial and ag-
ricultural manpower.
Beyond this, it also would
strike a direct blow at NATO
and other Western regional
defense organizations. Without
the menace of an overwhelm-
ing Red Army and Air Force
the reason for these organiza-
tons and the need for Ameri-
can forces in Europe would be
far less obvious than they are
now.
Such reflections, of course,
will remain highly speculative
until Mr.. Khrushchev's real
intentions are clearer. But, for
the time being, those who look
forward to a year of intensive
East-West negotiations on the
problem Of disarmament are
not responding with any great
enthusiasm to Mr.. Khru-
shchev's New Year suggestion.

For some time there has been

that support.
