expensive white elephant that

Mr.. Stolzenbach asked the
Senators to 'reschedule" a
100000 appropriation which
the House Appropriations Com
mittee has approved for the
Three Sisters Island bridge.
The 1859 mass transporta-
ton survey is being used to
justify this bridge, yet the
Commissioners have not adopt
ed the transportation plan
based on the survey, he said.
The transportation agency is
making its predictions on a 20
year planning period. 1t cannot
evaluate the District highway
program because the transpor-
tation plan has not been ap-
proved, he said:
Gen. Clarke said the Com
missioners were in favor of the
1859 plan, and had already OBJ
ligated about 500 million fol
highways shown in the plan
The Commissioners are &C.
cepting the plan in sections
and will continue to do so. II
it will help the transportation
agency, the Commissioners are
willing to accept the entire
plan, Gen. Clarke said.

Seat Belt Law
Applies to All
63 Model Cars

RICHMOND, Aug. IL (AP)
Attorney General Robert Y
Button has ruled that seat
belts or safety harnesses will
be required on all 1868 model
automobiles regardless of when
they are manufactured or sold.
Mr.. Buttons opinion was is
sued in response to queries by
Delegate Tom Frost of War
renton regarding the seat belt
law passed by the 1862 General
Assembly.
Mr.. Frost had asked whether
the measure required all cars
"of the 1868 label" to have seat
belts and whether it would be
necessary to install seat belts
on all cars manufactured after
January /, 1868.
Under terms of the law, no
auto manufactured for the
year 1868 or for subsequent
years" may pass inspection I'M
less it is equipped with front
seat safety belts or harnesses.
Il believe this section re-
quires the installation of seat
belts in vehicles manufactured
as 1868 models, irrespective OF
the time of sale or operation
on the highways" Mr.. Button
said.

Court Asked
ToGive Dutu
On FeIonies

Senator Prouty. Republican
of Vermont. has demanded pre-
else data on how courts are
dealing with men and women
accused of serious crimes in the
District.
Senator Prouty, a member of
the Senate District Committee,
asked District Court Chief
Judge Matthew F. MCGUIRE for
the information in a letter.
The Senator said he was in
sufficiently informed to Judge
local criticism of courts. Some
citizens believe judges have
turned too many felons loose
on technicalities.
! "At the present time I do
not have sufficient information
in my possession to make a
judgment as to whether the
criticism has any validity or
whether it is totally irresponsi-
ble," the minority committee
man said.
He asked for a list of felony
convictions throughout the last
IL months, a case summary of
each, with minimum and maxi
mum sentences permissible un-
der current law. and the SEN
tence imposed by the court in
each case.
The past police record of each
accused. listing the number
and types of crimes each COM
mitted and the sentences i'm
posed in each conviction also
was requested.
! Senator Prouty said he felt
an obligation to inquire into
court disposition of felony
charges to see if criminal laws
need to be changed here.
His interest is typical of that
of a growing number of Sena-
tors and Congressman. The re-
cent stabbing Of a congressional
aide in a Capitol Hill church
has alerted members to other
reports of Standings, assaults
and rapeS.
Police have charged a "a
year-old ex-convict, Harry Syl-
vester Jones, in the church
stabbing.
