The experience of a Mary

up briefly in Alexandria, Va,
on a speeding charge, could
easily be repeated for motorists
in other Jurisdictions in the
Washington area.
But it also could be avoided.
Harold Johnson, a Commerce
Department employee who works
in Arlington, was arrested Au-
gust 3 while passing through
Alexandria en- route to his home
in Charles County via the
Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
He was unable to post $16.75
cash collateral and wound up
in a cell after being searched
and then relieved of his per-
sonal belongings.
The same thing could happen
to Mr.. Johnson in Arlington
or Fairfax County, or to a
Virginia motorist arrested in
Maryland without sufficient
funds for collateral. It also

Maryland and Virginia areas,
merely get tickets on the spot
from arresting officers, de-
pending on the seriousness of
the violation. Non-residents are
taken to the nearest precinct
or to the Traffic Bureau at
police headquarters.
Collateral can be posted there
and defendants can elect to
appear later in court or let it
be forfeited.

In an interview on Radio

problem will not be over, Mr..
Airs conceded. Some day all
or some of the track now slated
for covering will have to be re-
moved due to the need for
street repaving.
Commissioner Clarke justi-
fled the proposal for relieving
D. c. Transit of this SIS mil
lion additional expenditure by
telling the House District APP
preparations Subcom m ittee
that it was a question of
whether this was a cost the
public at large or the farepayer
should pay.
In the track removal pro-
gram, Commissioner Clarke
wears two hats: One as the
District Commissioner reSpon-
sible for overseeing the city's
highway program; the other as
chairman of the Washington
Metropolitan Area Transit
Commission which oversees the
affairs of D. c. Transit.
Case Before Court
The area transit commission
inherited the track removal
fund question from the District
Utilities Commission. A case
now in the United States Court
of Appeals involves a challenge
to the District commissions de-
ciSion to allow D. C. Transit to
charge track removal costs to
the Taxpayers.
A three-judge panel, on a
split decision, upheld the Dis
trict commissions position
against that of the appellants
two attorneys. The latter have
asked Tor a rehearlng by the
full nine-man court.
The area transit commission
sis studying" whether or not
to allow the track removal fund
to accumulate. according to
Delmer Ison, executive director.
The company has not de-
cided what position to take yet
on ending the track removal
liability, according to vice pres
ident and controller James H.
Flanagan.
Meanwhile, the fate of the
four-year track program, begun
during the past fiscal year,
hinges on congressional ap-
preparation of the Districts
share in the program.

POOR RECORD

The Nations Capital
must present a disgrace
full picture" to the rest of
the world, Senator Robert
Byrd, Democrat of West
Virginia, observed last
night.
The Senator, who is
chairman of the Districts
Senate Appropriations sub
committee, tied his state
ment to reports on the
city's crime, illegitimate
birth, venereal disease
rates and welfare cheating.
Members of Congress
and District officials
should more than re-
double our efforts and in
crease our already great
concern" in attempting to
solve the city's problems,
the Senator said.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-08-12

Some Of the factors going
into this decision, he said, are
more adequate study of whether
some of the track will ever
need removing. and the future
financial condition of D. C..
Transit.
Benefits Stressed
Morris Fox, first vice presi-
dent of D. C. Transit said that
the streets are "a lot stronger"
with the steel and underground
concrete conduit in them. Dur
ing the recent Waterman break
in Georgetown, the track area
on M street was the only one
that did not heave up, and the
water main was right under
the tracks, he said.
Mr.. Airs gave these advan-
tages to covering up the greater
portion of the tracks rather
than removing them:
/. 1t will put an end more
quickly to the problem of dual
maintenance of the track area
and adjacent pavement by the
city and D. C, Transit,
2. 1t will cause less disrup-
ton to traffic.
8. 1t will avoid tearing up
pavement that is in good
condition.
Problem for Future
When the current program is
completed in 1866 the track
