Military travel aside from

The District Board of Zon-

fused a request for the con-
struction Of a parking lot in
the 100 block of N street
NV, by a 3-to-2 vote.
Henry E. and Frances M.
Nicolas had appealed to the
board for permission to build
the parking lot for rs cars on
the north side of N street.
The General Federation Of
Women's Clubs opposed the
parking lot. It's headquarters
are directly across the street.
The board had received 40
to so kilograms against the
proposal from the clubs chap
ters throughout the country.
Senators Hartke, Democrat Of
Indiana; Morse, Democrat Of
oregon; Frear. Democrat OF
Delaware; Prouty, Republican
of Vermont. and Representa-
tive Mcmillan, Democrat of
South Carolina. also wrote
letters to the board asking that
the proposal be denied.
Board Members James e.

voted for the parking lot pro-
posal.
In other action. the board
approved construction of a
parking lot for 80 cars at the

'Tompering' Is Ruled
In Attachment Case

An employe of Hollywood
Credit Co., Inc, tampered with
court records in garnishment
proceedings against a restau-
rant counterman, Municipal
Court Judge Dewitt S. Hyde
ruled yesterday.
Evidence is too strong to be
denied" that a $56.28 wage at
tachment against Quillian
Grist, %, was entered in viola
ton Of court regulations. Judge
Hyde said.
He said he concluded after
hearing three weeks of testi-
mony that the attachment
against Mr.. Grist, an employe
of Basins George Washing
ton Inn, 1920 Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV, was served last Oc-
tober with the date, amount
and interest left blank.
The blank attachment was
returned to Municipal Court by
Morris Katz of Basins, who
had written on the attachment

said.
While the attachment was
filed in the basement of the
court, Judge Hyde concluded
the blanks were filled in by

Then Mr.. Katz initiated the

The questioning of tamper-

pointed out in court that nc
accusations had been made
against the credit company. He
said the company had not di-

with the records.
Judge Hyde answered that
was merely announcing thai

runsit Bill
Gets Buckino
OF P. u. G.

The District Public Utilities
Commission has indorsed the
area transit bill which would
establish a Federal agency to
create a regional transporta-
ton system.
Under the bill, the agency
would be superseded by a Fed
eral corporation in 1868, un-
less an interstate transit body
had been formed in the mean
time.
The District agency general
ly approved the proposed bill
but suggested a few changes in
a letter sent by George E. C.
Hayes, P. U. C. chairman to
Representative Mcmillan, Dem
ocrat of South Carolina, chair
man Of the House District
Committee.
Hearings on the bill will be
held by the Joint Committee
on Washington Metropolitan
Area Problems on May 5 and 6
The P. U. c. suggested that
the District Commissioners be
placed on an equal footing
with the Governors of Mary
land and Virginia under the
bill. This involves primarily the
District leaders rights to ap-
prove or disapprove rules by
the Federal corporation re-
garding acquisition of rights
of-way within the District.
The statement also:
/. Suggested a three or five
man board be established tt
have executive authority in.
stead of placing all the contro.
in a single administrator.
2. Urged careful considera-
ton of permitting the corpo-
ration the right to set its oWr
fares and other rates in op-
Grafton of transit facilities.
3. Questioned whether the
administrator should be re.
quired to provide public hear
ings on fare and rate changes

establish, extend, curtail or
abandon any transportation
service, or before prescribing OF

ings to the exclusion of othel
matters" the letter said.
Mr.. Hayes said allowing the
administrator to use his discre.
ton in the matter would offel
a more practical working basis.
+ He also noted that the public
would have no right to appea
to the courts for relief in the
event the acts of the corpora.

PRICES UNCERTAIN
Tobacco Auction Starts
BY JAMES b. ROWLAND
Star STAFF Writer

Auctioneers in Southern
Maryland today began selling
the tobacco some smokers will
be lighting up next winter.
Growers are optimistic about
the quality of the 1859 Type 80
crop, estimated at 1872 million
pounds, and are hoping for
prices equal or better than the
average 10 cents or more a
pound reported recently at
hogshead sales in Baltimore.
The first 80 minutes of loose
leaf sales at Edelen Bros; Inc.
Upper Marlboro. saw prices
ranging from Is cents to IS
cents a pound.
Tobacco auctions last year
carried an average price Of 62.3
cents per pound. with the crop
totaling 800 million pounds.
Eight warehouses in Prince
Georges. Anne Arundel and
Charles Counties will hold auc-
tions daily through July Is.
The first grower to have his
receipts totaled at Edelen's was
Osborne Petticord of Harwood,
who had 900 pounds on the
floor. The average bid on his
baskets was 68.4 cents with a
top of 80 cents.
Veteran tobacco men said
they will not know until later
today what the general price
trend may be.
Maryland Controller Louis L.
Goldstein of Prince Frederick
was on hand for the cpening
at Edelen's and was optimistic
about the quality of the leaves.
He grows tobacco on SIS acres
and had baskets at other ware
houses in Upper Marlboro
Onlookers roamed the aisles
lof tobacco baskets, occasionally
holding a leaf to the light for a
closer inspection, or pressing
their noses against bundles for

WE ENCOUNTERED DR..
Francis de Vos, a distin-
guished botanist on the ar
boretum staff. He is just
back from his almost-native
Holland. (His older sisters
were born thereJ
Naturally, he was almost
overcome by the heat.
Isn't this terrible?" he
asked.
Its not yet noon, and
these blossoms are beginning
to wilt.
This heat isn't good for
szaleas. They can't take 1t.
They do best in tempera-
lures of 40 to go degrees"
He appealed to the visitor
with hope in his voice.
I'm told that a cold front
is coming over Tuesday, Do
you know anything about
that?"
The Rambler had to break
1t to him that the Weather
Bureau had revised its fore
cast: That the front would
be so warm by the time it got
here today that there prob
ably would not be much
change in temperature.
Then tell people to get
here in the morning" DR.. de
Vos said. The blossoms re-
cover during the night and
open as good as ever.
This weather is very dis
concerting. 1t means our
azaleaS will be at their peak
on the week end of May l.
I thought it would be May g."

The
Rambler
Arrived
In Time
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Guests arrived Sunday
house guests, belated fugi-
tives from the Florida heat
into that of Washington.
Il hope we are not too late
to see some cherry bios
somS,' said one.
So early yesterday morn
ing we started out. Some of
the cherries were still in
splendid bloom.
But azaleas in magnificent
bursts of color suggested a
visit to the National Arbore-
tum.
Perhaps it is just as well
that the Washington Board
of Trade or its subsidiary,
the Greater National Capital
Committee, has not yet un-
dertaken an azalea festival.
Nature so frequently fails
to cooperate with COM
nerce.
From what he reads in the
paper and overhears on the
radio and TV, the Rambler is
aware that the blooming of
azaleas in Charleston, SC,
and Norfolk, Va, is some
thing to see.
He is also aware that, due
to the lateness of this recent
winter, the anual celebra-
tions in both cities we're
ahead of the blooms.

Washingtonians apparently
had a one-fourth greater yen
or necessity-to travel in the
first three months of this year
than they did the same time
last year.
The Passport Office reports
a 25 per cent increase in the

Washington residents were
issued 1880 new or renewed
passports during the period,
compared with 1885 during the
first three months of 1859.

TEN for a 19-room addition to
Wheaton High School.
The addition is expected to
be completed by April IS, 1861,
at a total cost of S882, 400.
School Supt. C. Taylor Whit
tier said Wheaton will serve

$4,000 for Study
The board also authorized
$4,000 for a curriculum study

to be appointed May 10.
The group of laymen will be
requested to complete their
evaluation Of the school pro-
gram by August /, 1861.
In their study, the school
board suggested they consider
these questions:
/. What are educational
needs and aims, and how well
is the Montgomery curriculum
oriented to meet them?
2 How much are pupils chal-
lenged in relation to their abili-
ties?
3. How effectively is the

gram?
4. Are there more effective
ways to organize the school day

CRACKDOWN
D. G. Police
Test Rudur
On Streets

Deputy Chief William j.
Liverman of the District police
traffic division set up a radar
speed check demonstration to-
day as the Districts drive
against serious traffic offend
ers got under way.
The radar set in the test is
owned by the Districts Depart
ment of Vehicles and Traffic to
check traffic flow on Washing
ton streets.
The Police Department here
has never owned a radar set, but
Chief Liverman said today he
wants to see how effective it is
in detecting speeders in city
traffic.
Use Park Set
The department has in the
past borrowed the radar SET
owned by the United States
Park Police. The park police
do not use their set in the Dis
trict, but concentrate on speed
ers on the Suitland parkway
the George Washington park
way and the Baltimore-W Wash
ington parkway.
Both Park Police Inspector
Melvin H. Leach and Chiet
Liverman agreed that radar has
questionable value in heavy city
traffic. They believe that radal
sets, if used at all by the city
police, would be most effective
on open thoroughfares during
off peak traffic hours when the
, radar can check up on speeders
spaced relatively far apart.
Need Car Links
Chief Liverman said the Dis.
trict police would also have tt
develop a car-to-car communi,
: cation system permitting thl
; radar set operator to notify ;
check car further down tn
street that speeder is headed
that way. The park police hav
car-to-car communication, plu
, car-mounted radio loudspeak
, ers that can be heard nearby
, but the District police have ;
system where individual scou
cars can communicate onl,
through the headquarters dis
, patcher.
Chief Liverman said the us
of walkie-talkie radio sets nigh
bridge this gap if District po
lice decide to buy radar device
Inspector Leach said one ra.
dar set has been sufficient TO
the park police, since the Sc
is portable. He added the Sc

WE ALL remember-it was
only a few days ago-that
our Japanese cherries de-
cided to bloom on Easter
rather than on the sched-
uled Palm Sunday week end.
Just as well-but he did
not quite expect a private
preview of one of the great
est displays of blossoms on
this continent.
We spent almost an hour
strolling in the formal aza-
lea garden at the arboretum
and the turf walks in the
woods behind - walks bor-
dered with azaleas in the red,
pink, orange and yellow COL
ors of the spectrum-without
encountering other visitors.
We had it all to ourselves.
It's a show comparable to
the cherry blossoms at the
Tidal Basin - not such a
stunning burst of spring but
a richer palate of color. And
not more than dozen per-
sons were experiencing it
most of them from auto
mobiles.
How to get to the arbore-
tum? It's so simple. Major
Pierre L'Enfant arrange d
that more than $50 years
ago.
You go to the Capitol.
Then you drive out Maryland
avenue NE, toward Balti-
more.
When you get to that criSs-
cross of Bladensburg road
and H street and Eighteenth
street and Benning road
that meeting of the arteries
don't be diSmayed. Just
wait for a green light and
continue on Maryland ave-
nue. over the hill. You'll get
to the arboretum. That's the
end of the road.
Well, there we we're, enjoy
ing it despite the intense
heat. There was a slight
breeze.
