I'VE are certain we can market

For the present we will hirestwo

Why can this plant compete where
others have failed SO miserably
with Outside products2
In the first place, Polyestrene is
shipped here infinitely in bulk-and
expanded later Thus the high cost
of shipping cubic foot content is
eliminated.
Secondly. the finished product is

point it is enlarged by an expander,

After expansion, the Polyestrene
is conveyed by air to the second
story of the factory where it is

then ready for moulding.

Settling Of 2 Auto Tickets
By Policemen probed

Second Police Precinct Capt.
James E. Stargel said today he
is investigating reports that one
of his uniformed privates COL
lected 81 overdue parking tick
cts on his car. The tickets
were settled in Municipal Court
yesterday for ST each, with
Judge Thomas C. Scalley ap-
proving the reduced collateral.
Capt. Stargel said he has re-
celved a written report from
the policeman, Pvt. Lorne E.
Cook. He said Pvt. Cook did
not deny receiving the tickets
and explained he did not have
the money to pay them at the
time.
Capt. Stargel said some &C
ton will be taken as a result
OF Pvt. Cooks ticket problem,
but did not specify what it
would be. Pvt. Cook told a re-
porter, Il make a mistake and
let them ride and I'm paying
for it now"
Pvt. Cook said he didn't know
he had some of the tickets.
Most of them were issued when
he lived in the 100 block of

However, he agreed with Mr..
Aitken that some sort of direct
link between the Three Sisters
and Northwest Washington will
be necessary. And Mr.. Brinkley
conceded that the Glover-Arch-
bold project could someday be
revived with this point in mind.
Another Controversial Idea
At the public hearing last
November, Mr.. Brinkley said
abandonment of the Glover
Archbold project might well re-
quire another look" at an
equally controversial idea: A
major traffic artery bringing
Route 70-S from the suburbs

cutting through the Cleveland

today that both he and Mr..

posed to this plan.

Stewart TriuI
Ruff|ed Over

A dispute has started in Dis

defense offered in the fourth
first-degree murder trial of
Willie Lee Stewart.
The Government rested its

The 100000 balance made up

District juvenile court legis.
lation definitely has been sci
for action by the House on
Monday.
This was revealed yesterday
by House Majority Leader Al
bert, Democrat of Oklahoma
in announcing the congress
slonal program for next week
Opponents of the measure
the So-called Davis bill-hao
been worried that too few Con-
greSSmen would be on hand on
Monday to stage any kind of a
fight or debate.
Will Follow Ceremony
+. But Mr.. Albert also an
nounced a Joint meeting would
be held Monday in hollor of
Col. >ssln H. Glenn, il. The
../rt bill probably will be taken
up after the ceremony.
| The strategy of Davis bill
opponents is to substitute the
Senate-passed bill which would
add two more Judges to the
youth court. Failing in this,
they will try to reduce the more
drastic elements of the Davis
bill which would wipe out the
autonomy of the court by plac-
ing it within the jurisdiction
Of Municipal Court. The bill,
sponsored by Representative
Davis, Democrat of Georgia
also calls for a reduction in
the age limit of juveniles
brought before the court from
l8 to l6.
Yesterday, Mr.. Davis ap-
pealed to House members to
adopt his bill and denounced
what he called a pressure
group campaign" to add two
more judges to the court.
Critical of Foes
In remarks appearing in the
Congressional Record he asked
\ for support of his bill, and sale
efforts to defeat it 'have de-
Perforated into a drive to save
face rather than save the
court"
He charged that those who
support the Senate-passed bill
have accepted "a mass of in
correct statistical material,
warped comparisons, and faul-
ty conclusions without any real
investigation of the court or
its operations"
Mr.. Davis said the proposals
in the Senate bill to provide
two more judges in an effort
to overcome the present juve-
nile court case backlog is mere
ly an "anesthetic to hide the
ills of the court"
He argued that adoption of
the Senate bill would but
make certain that within three
to five years a public cry
would swell up within the Dis
trict pleading with the Con-
gress to do something with an
Inefficient, confused, made
quate juvenile court"
Ten opponents of the Davis
bill have sent letter to every
member of the House enlisting
their support.
They are Representatives
Multer, Democrat Of New York;

mia; Burke, Democrat of Ken
lucky, and Matthias, Republican
of Maryland.

son, Democrat of Louisiana;

admitted being in the drug
store. Dart Drugs at I'LL G
street NV, at times when they
are charged with accepting the
cigarettes, and they also ad-
mltted getting reduced rates.
Call Discounts Normal
However. all three officers
commended they received only
normal discounts. Bovio and
Catapano said they had no rea-
son to believe the employee they
dealt with, Edward P. Leonard,
"a, of the 3700 block of Forty
second street, Cottage City,
Md, did not have the authority
to give discounts.
Leonard testified before the
board Tuesday that he had
passed out several cartons of
cigarettes to the officers for
So or So, or sometimes for
nothing. Leonard pleaded guilty
to petty larceny and is to be
sentenced February 81. He also
faces charges of giving a false

ldtlolal look at THIS problem,
rather than be somewhat
sWayed by their emotions"
Last November, highway
officials said they had an
alternative plan calling for con-
nections from the proposed
Three Sisters Island Bridge over
the Potomac to Foxhall road
and Macarthur boulevard.
Since then, when the plan
was put forward at a public
hearing concerned with the
Potomac River freeway and
bridge connections with North
west Washington, Mr.. Aitken
said, the alternate plan has
been polished" and studied
further.
Opposition Wins
He said the District has given
up on plans to run a four-lane
road through the park to Res
iervolr road because of public
opposition to the Glover-Arch-
bold route, expressed at the
November hearing and since
But he insisted that the need

more and more important. AS

bigger the function of a park
way through Glover-Archbold
will become more necessary"
Mr.. Aitken said.
sometime 1 think public
opinion will reverse itself on
this issue"
Corridor Crowded
The highway chief noted that
every day about 10000 cars use
the Foxhall road corridor to-
go from the Massachusetts, ave-
nue. area down the Canal Road
area where the new Three Sis
tiers Bridge and Potomac River.
Parkway are planned. He
termed this traffic squeeze "a
miracle" intimating that mo-
florists some day may put the
pressure on for a more adequate
route.
Mr.. Aitken said there are no
plans whatsoever in the alter
nate proposal for widening of
Foxhall Road.
Even If the Glover Archbold
parkway plan were to be pressed
by the Highway Department,
it could not be put into effect
until 1865, when a congressional
freeze on Northwest highway
projects is due to expire.
The controversy over the
Glover-Archbold parkway plan
goes back to the 1958-59 period
when a planning conference
came up with the idea of
four-lane route.
Foes Muster Support
Since then conservationists
have mustered major support
in their fight against the road
through the park. The Interior
Department and members of
Congress lent their weight to
the opposition to the parkway.
Douglas S. Brinkley, Mr..
Athens chief highway planner.
said today that a newly revised
plan for Three Sisters Bridge
Potomac parkway interchange
would make very difficult"
any future project of hooking
in with a parkway along the
Glover-Archbold corridor.

We can sympathize with the desire
Of the Army Band, to say nothing of
other musical organizations, for a stand
ardized, official version of the Star
Spangled Banner. It has been reported
that there are 270 varied arrangements
of the melody of the National Anthem
none of them bearing the stamp of Of
ficial approval. And while the bands
are not worried about variations of the
words, many soloists and choral groups
definitely would like to see version
that everyone, including Congress, could
agree on.

would make it easier, of course, for
