THAT'S TOO BAD. This
strip of woods has glades,
open places ideal for hunting
buffalo, and fallen trees
natural breastworks.
There are signs that boys
did play in these woods.
There are platforms in the
trees and there are cleats
nailed to the trunks to reach
them-one of the most dan
gerous forms Of self-eleva-
ton. Just pull one rusty
nailed cleat out in your up
ward climb-and down you
60.
And here is the stump of
a Virginia pine with an g.
inch bole very inexpertly
felled. Some boy was trying
out a hand ak given him
for Christmas or a birthday.
Birds? Very few. A bit Of
chirping-familiar chirps-
in the underbruSh. Shy, fur
tive birds that fly low at
your approach and, as if in
tentionally, keep themselves
between the sun and you.
ALI you can make out Is their
silhouette--not their mark
ingS.
There's a reason for their
keeping low. A sparrow hawk
speeds over. the woods in a
straight line-fast as a mis-
sile. Didn't seem to be hunt
ing-just showing off.
Further on there is a clat-
ter high in the trees as two
big--bigger than blue jays
red-crested birds take off.
There's no mistaking them.
They're pileated woodpeckers.
Mental note: Must bring
my binoculars along next
Sunday and identify those
little birds in the under
brush.
Sunday March 1S-Dear
Diary: Didn't get there last
Sunday. Things were pretty
muddy with the melting
snow-besides we were asked
to a party.
Got there today-to the
woods, that is.
Everything very quiet. Not
a chirp.
Tried the binoculars on a
last years nest. Brought it
almost within reach.

The
Rambler
-. Keeps Bird
Watcher Diary
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

SUNDAY, March 4-Dear
Diary: Real estate operators
IN this Western Alexandria
area-just below Seminary
Hill-have left only one strip
OF untouched woodland. That
lies along a trickle of a
stream that borders Francis
Hammond parkway-houses
on one side, the strip of
woods on the other.
This woods hasn't been
timbered for generations.
There are no large StumpS-
no signs of large stumps rot
ting away. There are white
oaks, the nobleSt of the oaks,
but they are of stunted
growth. They did not have
to become tall trees to reach
light, as in the virgin forest,
so they just didn't bother.
There are many little boys
In the houses across the
street, boys fond of playing
cowboy and Indian with the
best equipment boys ever had
-pearl-handled Colt six
shooters, Winchester saddle
rifles, cowboy boots and car
fridge belts. Indians? No
body wants to be an Indian.
But boys don't play in the
woods anymore. TIL cir
mothers have distrust and
fear of the unknown and, in
many cases, manage to pass
that on. The mothers like to
have their little boys play
where they can be seen.

VIVA S|icing Fares>
Adding Expresses
Plans Drive
To Attract
Commuters

The VIVA Transit Co. today
announced stable reductions
in some bus fares, creation of
four fringe parking lots, estab-
liShment of several new express
routes into Washington, and
general expansion of service in
Prince Georges County.
The announcement came as
the line returned to full oper-
alton today after a one-day
surprise walkout by drivers.
Company officials declared
that the changes, effective
April 2, represent a deter
mined, pioneering" effort to
persuade tens Of thousands of
commuters to abandon their
cars for buses in their daily
travel to work.
They credited the year-old
Washington Metropolitan Area
Transit Commission with pro-
posing many of the reviSionS
in an effort to evolve a new
approach to the problem of
moving suburbanites to work
through increasingly congested
thoroughfares.
Faster Service Planned
THE entire operations of
VIVA Transit have been COM
pletely revised and stream
lined" said Delmer Ison, exec
utive director of the Commits
sion.
The parking lots where resi-
dents from the outer sections of
Prince Georges will be allowed
to leave their cars all day at
no cost while they take the
bus downtown will be at the
Eastover Shopping Center, Mar
low Heights Shopping Center,
Penn-Mar Shopping Center
and Gregory Estates in Seat
Pleasant.
Company representatives as
serted their buses, ten of which
will be air conditioned, will
carry riders from these parking
areas to the center of Wash
ington as rapidly as cars can
travel the distance.
Fare reductions will be &C
compliShed both by cutting cash
charges and enabling paSsen-
gers to buy tokens for 20 cents.
5-tO-25- Cent Saving
These fare reductions result
in savings of from 5 cents to
Is cents for a one-way ride to
downtown Washington" COM
pany President Woodrow M.
Miller said.
He reported that through re-
alignment and Inauguration Of
entirely new routes, travel time
between the following points
and Eleventh street and Penn
sylvania avenue NV, will be
SlaShed as follows:
Kent Village-Palmer Park
area, from SIS to IS minutes:
Seat Pleasant area, 40 to 20
minutes; Capitol Heights, 40 to
80 minutes; Forestville, so to IS
minutes; NARROW Heights, SO
to IS minutes and Andrews Air
, Force Base, so to As minutes.
Major beneficiaries of the
fare reductions will be residents
who board buses in the areas
around Prince Georges Hos
pital, Palmer Park. Seat Pleas
ant, Forest Heights and Glass
manor.
Miller said VIVA now has
about 1000 riders on an aver
age week day. but calculates
that more than $4,000 potential
riders live in sections it serves.
He indicated that the transit
commission hopes to duplicate
, the new transit approach in
: other Washington suburban
areas.
; The surprise walkout yester-
, day stranded hundreds of
Maryland and Southeast Wash
ington commuters and left near
ly 1000 children waiting in
vain for the buses that take
them to school on a contract
basis

Whisky Charge Dismissed
The witness said he had beer
picked up earlier for selling un-
taxed whisky, but the charge
had been dismissed. He said
he was unable to convince Coor
that he was not in the bootleg
business.
On January 6. Mr.. White
testified, Coor and Webb. OF
the 6400 block of Kilmer street,
Cheverly Manor, Md, came to
his home, and asked where's
the moonshine." Coor, he said,
then searched most Of his
house.
Mr.. White said he told Coor
he wasn't selling corn whisky
but could not convince him
Later, in the presence of both
officers, White said he was
told they wanted $50 per week
The witness, who said he
was unemployed at the time
testified he told the policemen
then privates in the second
precinct, he did not have the
money. You'll get it from
somewhere" he said he was
told.
TeIephoned Deputy Chief
Mr.. White testified he tele-
phoned Deputy Chief Layton
because he didn't have the
money. He then received the
marked bills. He said he paid
$40 on January IL and another
$40 on January Is.
He said that when he made
the second payment. he was
told he was behind in his pay
ments." Mr.. White said he
would not have paid unless
police had given him the
money.
II didn't have it to give, and
I wasn't doing anything
wrong" he said. In four OF
five meetings with the Of
ficers, he testified he had worn
a special recording device.
In answer to questions by
Defense Lawyer VILLA m
Bryant, Mr.. White said he paid
the officers because he was
afraid. "They could lock me up
for anything" he testified.
Mr.. Bryant, noting the
money came from the police,
said the payment certainly
isn't bribery" Bond was set
at 81 800 each.
