Northern Virginia Asks
Fund for Road Repair

, He said Mr.. Harris would be
asked to consider the possibil-
ity of invoking the States po-
lice power in order to require
snow tires or chains during
SHOWS.
In addition, Mr.. Webb said
an emergency appropriation
would be requested for all areas
in the State where roads have
been damaged badly. The State
already has spent about $780,
900 clearing snow from Fairfax
roads and another $3.50. 600 will
be needed to repair them, he
added.
That money will have to
come from funds set aside for
road construction in the county
unless an emergency appropri-
alton is provided, he said.
The delegation, which in
cluded representatives from the
county's four towns, did not de-
eide how much money would be
needed, Mr.. Webb said.

AB&W Files
For Increase
In Bus Fares
Higher Rate Asked
On Runs Between
D. c. and Virqiniu

The AB&W Transit Co. has
asked the Interstate Commerce
Commission to allow fare in
creases on its buses running
between Washington and Vir-
ginia.
In petition filed yesterday.
the company said wage IN
creaSeS and new equipment
necessitate the higher fares,
ranging from 21a cents on
tokens to 5 cents per zone on
cash fares.
The increased fares will take
effect March 20 unless the ICC
orders a hearing on the ap-
Iplication.
Other Increases Planned
Robert T. Mitchell, general
manager of AB&W, said the
company also intends to raise
fares within Virginia and on
trips between Virginia and
Governmen installations
These applications have not
been filed yet.
Under the application asking
for the increases in interstate
fares, the company would raise
its minimum cash fare from 20
cents to Is cents while the
maximum fare would remain
at 60 cents.
1t would cost those COM
Imuting between Washington
and Arlington or Alexandria
80 or IS cents cash instead of
the present Is and 80 cents,
depending on the number of
zones crossed
Token Plus Nickel
Four tokens would sell for
IS cents, or 21A cents each.
The Arlington commuter would
add a nickel to the token to
get the 30-cent ride. This
token -pluS-nickel arrangement,
totaling 26A cents, compares
to the current token rate on
the same trip Of 1884 cents-a
2la-cent increase.
Mr.. Mitchell said the COM
pany has spent considerable
money for wage increases and
new equipment since its last
fare increase in 1858. If the
ICC does not allow the new
fare rise, Mr.. Mitchell said the
company will operate at a
deficit in 1861.

Alcoholism Up
|nMary|and
Study Group Finds
76,700 Afflicted
BY q star staff writer

ANNAP OILS, Feb. 18.-
Maryland ranks in the top
three among States in the
South Atlantic region in num-
ber Of alcoholics, according to
a report Of a commission ap-
pointed last year.
The Maryland Commission
on Alcoholism estimated there
are 76,700 alcoholics in the
State.
Baltimore contains 40 per
cent Of the total, the commits
sion said, and most Of the re-
mainder are in Montgomery,
Prince Georges, Baltimore, Anne
Arundel and Washington
Counties, the more heavily pop
ulated and urban areas Of the
State.
Marked Rise Noted
The commission said there
was "a marked and as yet un-
explained" increase in alcohol
ism in Kent, Queen Annes,
Charles and Allegany Counties
The commission said there
is no co-ordinated program for
treating alcoholics. 1t asked
for another year and $25, 900
to study the problem.
Although a substantial num-

ing with diligence and enthu-
siasm in the field of alcoholism
in Maryland. these efforts have
been in general piecemeal. des-
parate and unco-ordinated. AS
a result. much time, effort and
money is being spent to achieve
ill-defined and unknown goals
by ill-suited means" the re-
port said.
It said that there "is no real
treatment program for alco-
holics" at the 48 pSychiatric
outpatient clinics in the State.
The commission said that
about rs per cent Of the alco-
holicS are in early enough
stages to be most responsive
to treatment"
Action Urged
1t recommended that the
General Assembly take action
to see that the alcoholic unit
at Spring Grove State Hospital
be used to capacity and to es-
tabliSh similar units in other
mental hospitals. It also rec
commended increasing the staff
of Spring Grove unit and in
itiation Of research on the ef-
fectiveneSs Of. various treat
ments.
The report said that alco-
holic patients admitted to
Springfield, Brownsville and
Eastern Shore mental hospitals
''in effect dry out at State
expense and. when physically
fit again, leave the hospital
and return to drinking"
One of the great problems
involved in treating alcoholism
stems from the alcoholics lex
treme reluctance to seek treat
ment," the report said. 1t said
that there probably are no
more than 800 or 400 alcoholics
at any one time in the State
who are in the acute stage of
illness and in need of emer-
gency treatment.
