someone else or damage his
property is the most important
to have. You flirt with fl
nancial ruin if you do not carry
such insurance.
The car owner should have
four kinds of basic coverage:
LIABILITY INSURANCE.
This is the kind which is man
datory in three states and
which is also most important
to have. It protects you against
claims made by other persons,
if the accident is your fault.
You should have at least
enough protection to meet the
requirements of the financial
or safety responsibility law of
your State.
Rates for liability insurance
have risen steadily, due to in
creaseS in accidents and the
liberality Of jurieS in handing
out fantastic sums for injuries.
Everybody seems to be claim
consciouS-a good reason why
you are highly vulnerable if
you do not carry enough liza
bility coverage.
MEDICAL PAYMENTS IN
SURANCE. If you or a pas
senger are injured in an ac-
cident while in your car, this
kind of insurance would pay
for medical expenses, including
such items as ambulance Serv-
ice.
FAMILY PROTECTION
COVERAGE. This will cover
you If you are injured by a
hit-and-run driver, or by an
uninsured motorist. It also
is relatively inexpensive.
COMPREHENSIVE INSUR-
ANCE. This will compensate
you directly if your car is stolen
or damaged by fire, floods, or
many other causes except COL
lision or upset.
COLLISION INSURANCE.
Under such policy, the insur-
ance company will pay up to
the limits of the policy all but
a specified amount of your re-
pair bills if your car has been
in an accident-even if you
were the responsible party.
Usual policies carry $50 or $100
deductible clauses, meaning
that the insurer will pay for
damages over those amounts,
up to the actual cash value of
your car.
What will automobile insur-
ance cost? Rates vary greatly,
depending upon:
Where you live. Rates usually
are higher in big cities, rela-
lively low in smaller commu-
mites or rural areas.
What use you make of the
car. One driven for business
purposes requires a higher pre-
MUM than one used solely for
pleasure.

a male driver under Is must
pay higher premiumS-in some
cases double the regular pre-
MUM - because accident fire.

Third Baltimore Route
Briefing Slated Friday

The District Commissioners
will be briefed Friday on prob
lens affecting the proposed
location of the Districts link
to a third route to Baltimore.
One of the factors before
the Commissioners, who must
make a final determination on
the Route 95 location, is the
veto by President Kennedy of
a bill that would allow the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad to
lay a spur near the Route 95
alignment.
1t was learned that Mr.. Ken
nedy took the advice of Will

of the National Capital Plan

the measure which would have
allowed the railroad to use a
portion of Porto Rico avenue

Council Hits SheIvino
OF Birth Control Plans

Shelving of District plans to
expand the city's birth control
services has come under fire
from the Public Health Advisory
Council.
The plans to offer birth con-
troll services at health depart
ment maternity clinics recently
were set aside because this new
program was opposed by Repre-
sentative Rabaut, according to
reliable reports.
Mr.. Rabaut has strong in
fluence in city affairs as chair
man of the appropriations sub
committee that handles the
Districts budgets.
At its meeting yesterday, the
health advisory group voted
again to support the giving of
birth control information in the
health departments maternity
clinics.
The decision, never officially
announced, to shelve the plans
for an expanded municipal
birth control program was
made despite the recent con-
gressional approval of a budget
item for the program.
The city's current birth con-
troll service is limited to a pro-
gram of information at Dis
trict General Hospital. Doctors
in the obstetrics department
are required to give patients
who ask for this information
a card leading to services of
the Planned Parenthood As
Sociation.

current budget provides for the

minority protests.

tee reverted to its previous bill
to increase the courts bench
strength from one to three.
AS the session ended, it was
as apparent as it had been at
the beginning that a compro-
mise over how to run the court
was mandatory. But the two
committees have demonstrated
no desire to compromise on
this issue yet.
The Senate did vote to estab-
lish a juvenile rehabilitation
center at Lorton, Va. There's
no District money to pay for
it. The House didn't consider
the project.

Crime

At times, both committees
avoided the chance of compro-
mise by taking no action.
This was illustrated after the
House committee reacted in
May to a wave of six rapes in
seven days by reporting bills to
modify past court decisions.
One would have clarified the
Durham decision of 1854 which
dealt with insanity as a Grim
inal defense. The other would
have prevented a judge from
throwing out a confession SOLE
ly because a delay occurred be-
tween arrest and arraignment.
Both bills passed the House.
They were then placed in the
cooler by the Senate commit
tee. They remain there today.
Committees agreed on a
3 3,0O0-member police force, and
both houses granted funds to
hire more officers and train
police dogs.
But stalled in the Senate was
a bill to abolish the mandatory
death penalty for first-degree
murder in the District. While
it had its humanitarian as

victions by providing juries

sage said.
The spur would serve the
Capitol City liquor warehouse,
Which is being expanded, and
an Gutenberg Bakery building.
Ladder B. Mackall, attorney
for the BIO, said the spur will
be built on private property.
He said that the industrial
development of the tract will
take place despite the veto. He
pointed out that the Route 95
location is still to be definitely
determined and an alternate
route is possible.
Highway officials say that,
although the recommended
route will cost more because of
the warehouse development, the
alternate location would mean
displacing a large number of
families living in the reSiden-
tial area that would have to be
taken if the route is shifted.

Race Friction
Course Set for
D. {. Police
Tobriner Suggests
Lectures to Aid
Public Relations
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

An advanced course in COM
munity relations" will be given
soon to veteran policemen in
the District in an effort to re-
duce incidents of racial friction.
The lectures will be given at
the Police Academy to all men,
bers of the metropolitan force
holding the rank of sergeant or
above.
The suggestion for this move
came from Commissioner Wal
| ter N. Tobriner and was in
dorsed by Police Chief Robert

today.
The staff of the Districts
Human Relations Council is
acting as liaison between the
Commissioners and the police
department in establishing the
new program.

Leaders of the National
Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People re-
Gently said there was evidence
of a half dozen cases of police
brutality that should be in

referred by the Commissioners
to a citizens committee for
study.
Today. Police Inspector Alex
ander Douglass said the lee
lures will be given at the
Academy by several policemen
who have taken college courses
in the field of community rela-
tions. Trainees now are re-
ceiving these lectures at the
Academy. Inspector Douglass
explained that the new pro-
gram will provide an advanced
refresher course for the veteran
policemen.
Seek Better Ties
Mr.. Tobriner said that in
addition to dealing with the
question Of racial tensions and
alleged incidents of police
brutality. the new course also
would be aimed at improving
the overall relationship be-
tween the policeman and city
residents.
Announcement of the new
program was made at a meet
ing of the Human Relations
Council. Members of the coun-
Gil heard suggestions from a
number of community organ
izations on moves to improve

Today, DR.. Daniel L. Finu-
cane, District health director.
said the reason the planned
birth control activities in the
clinics have been Shelved is
because Congress in the budget
request was not specifically ad-
vised of the intent to give the
birth control information.
The overdiring reason that
the program has been set aside,
however, informed sources said,
was because Mr.. Rabaut let it
be known that he was strongly
opposed to the clinic birth con-
troll flaws. Mr.. Rabaut, Demo-
crat of Michigan, however, did
not cut the health department.

leted from the health depart

DR.. Finucane said today that
he will appeal this budget cut
to the Commissioners, along
with an expansion of the spend
ing request for funds to provide

bier learned:
That the blight that killed
our chestnut trees early in
this century was introduced
from Asia. How it got here
no one knows. Some think
it was imported in nursery
stock. However, one thing
seems certain. If it happened
today, modern m e t hodS
could not save the trees be-
cause the blight, a fungus
disease, is spread by wind
borne spores.
That the white pine blister
rust, a fungus disease in
troduced from Europe at the
turn of the century, has
been controlled. This disease
cannot go from pine to pine.
1t must go from a pine tree
to the ribrieS, wild goose
berry and currant bushes,
then to another pine. 1t has
been controlled by elimina-
ting the ribries from the
pine forests.
That there are more un-
known than known diseases
in our forests.

sweet gum, the Star-leafed
tree in this area, began to

that fixed as reasonable by the
Metropolitan Washing t o n

costs could run up to $544, 200
a year.
Senator Williams wanted to
make sure the company wasn't
making excessive profit on
school children. The city might
want to run its own buses, he
suggested. Senator Morse said

more" The bill cheats nobody,

Mr.. Mcbride said the metro
politan police now have trained
meter readers in each precinct.
Four courses are now being
given to Fire Department per-
sonnel to provide additional
persons capable of using fall
out detection meters, he said.
Goal 1000 to 5000
Mr.. Mcbride said the trained
police and firemen, along with
employees of the Department of
Corrections, will man the pri-
mary fallout detection network
in Washington. He added that
a secondary network will be
maintained later by other Dis
trict employees and personnel
of the District Board of Edu-
cation.
He said that by next June
30. the District civil defense
office hopes 1000 to 5000 per-
sons in Washington can be
trained as meter readers.
Mr.. Mcbride said the purpose
of training the meter readers
is to keep the District civil
defense headquarters posted on
the fallout level in various
sections of the city. He added
that this information would
then be passed on to the
public.

KERNEL COUNTER CONCENTRATES
Shirley Road
Bill Is Signed
By Kennedy

President Kennedy today
signed the bill that means
widening of Shirley highway
and improvement of the Pen
tagon road network.
The bill provides for trans
fer of Shirley highway from
the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads to Virginia.
This will enable Virginia to
widen the highway, from the
Potomac River to Route 7,
from the present four lanes to
eight lanes. ea
Federal Share
Under the bill, the Federal
share of the widening cost will
be 95 per cent and Virginia will
pay S per cent. Improvement
of the Pentagon road network
will be borne entirely by the
Federal Government and Vir-
ginia will take over main
tenance.
Cost of the project is esti-
mated to run from $13 to $19
million. Maintenance is ex-
pected to cost Virginia about
100000 a year.
Last week the Virginia State
Highway Commission formally
authorized the widening of
Shirley and accepted the bur-
den of maintenance.
Controversy Settled
With the signing of the bill,
a long controversy over the fu-
ture of Shirley highway is set
tied. 1t is expected that the
widening of the highway from
Alexandria to the Potomac
River bridges will help elimi-
nate some of the most fruStrat-
ing traffic jams in Northern
Virginia.
At first Virginia officials had
insisted that an entirely new
interstate highway be built par
allel to Shirley and refused tc
agree to maintain the widened
highway until a firm commit
ment was made.
The question was settled
when Federal road officials
agreed to add four lanes to
Shirley instead of only two as
had been first proposed.
Meanwhile, Congress last
night allowed the National
Capital Transportation Agency
5000 for administrative
needs in planning mass transit
facilities on the improved Shir-
ley highway. Agency officials
will work with highway plan
ners in developing mass transit
plans which might include ex-
press bus transit and other
aids.
President Kennedy signed
the bill in Newport, R. l., the
Associated Press reported.
