New Bill Filed
On D. {. Court
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star Staff Writer

The chairman of the House
District Committee is trying to
clear up the murky legal status
of Washington's local court
system.
Chairman Mcmillan has in
;,troduced a bill aimed at pro-
viding sound legal ground for
the courts current operations.
The problem stems from a
clerical error at the last Con-
gresS that sent the wrong bill
to the White House for President
Kennedy's signature.
The new bill by Mr.. McMil-
I Ian. Democrat of South Caro-
lima, is similar to the measure
that died because Of the error
at the last session.
Bill Was Amended
The current uncertain status
of the court stems from the
determination Of Senator Rob-
ertson, Democrat Of Virginia,
that 1t not be permitted to sub
poena witnesses deep within
his State.
The bill to widen the juris-
diction Of Municipal Court and
to change its name sailed
smoothly through both the
House and the Senate. Before
the President had signed the
bill, however, the Senate re-
called the measure at the re-
quest Of Senator Robertson.
The Senator objected to a
provision giving the court.
which was to become the Court
Of General Sessions, power to
subpoena witnesses in civil
cases from a distance Of 100
miles around the city.
The Senate amended the bill
to reduce the subpoena juris-
diction to a 25-mile radius. The
House then agreed to this
change and a court bill again
was sent to the White House.
Wrong Bill Submitted
Somehow the President re-
ceived. and signed, the first bill
with its l00-mile subpoena pro-
vision.
Faced with this situation, the
judges decided to switch its OPP
erations in line with what Con-
gress had wanted enacted.
The court thus adopted its
new name and limited its new
subpoena area to the 25-mile
radius.
But some lawyers feel that the
most intriguing aspect Of the
situation centers on the courts
current acceptance Of civil
suits with a $4,000. rather
than a $1,000 ceiling.
The court changes indicate
that the judges consider the
bill signed by Mr.. Kennedy to
be a valid law. Senator Rob-
ertson has said he doubts the
legality OF the bill signed by
the President.
Chairman Mcmillan obvi-
ously shares the view OF Sena-
tor Robertson. Mr.. McMillan's
bill does not call for an amend
ment or repeal Of the legisla-
ton signed by the President.
Such action would mean that
Mr.. Mcmillan considered the
signed bill 10 be a valid law.
Instead. Mr.. McMillan's meas
ure makes a fresh start toward
the jurisdictional and name
changes for the court.

Navy Seeking
$3.50 Million
For A-Subs

The new defense budget go
ing to Congress on Thursday
will increase the Polaris mis-
sile- firing submarine program
toward the $7-billion mark.
The budget is expected to
include about $3.50 million to
complete financing of the
final six boats in a planned
fleet Of Al nuclear-powered
Polaris craft.
For the present at least, the
Navy apparently is stopping at
Al Polaris submarines--a force
due to be fully deployed at
sea by 1867.
The Navy's chunk Of the
budget for the bookkeeping
year starting next July l will
stress purchase of destroyers
and other craft vital to anti
submarine warfare.
Some Disappointment
Some Navy sources familiar
with the still-secret budget
figures indicated disappoint-
ment. They said they had
hoped for a big squirt on mod
ernization of the fleet, but that
the funds being allocated will
Just about enable the Navy
to tread water in its struggle
against ship obsolescence.
Analysis of figures furnish
ed by the Navy showed that a
total of SAL billion has been
spent or committed so far for
construction of Polaris sub
marines.
Another $267.7 million has
gone for four special tender
ships, missile test vessels, and
conversion of a floating dry
dock and a cargo ship that will
be used to support a Polaris
squadron when it moves into
the Pacific.
In addition, the Navy said it
cost SIG billion for research
and development work before
the first Polaris sub, the George
Washington. went on patrol in
November, 1860.
Missile Costs Extra
All this does not include the
price of Polaris missiles, at 81
million apiece, the expenses of
subsequent development opera
tions, crew training and main-
tenance and other associated
costs.
So far, the United States has
sent nine Polaris subs to sea.
One other is in commission but
not yet deployed. and seven
have been launched. Another
18 are in various stages of con-
struction.
Beside these 35 boats, the
Navy this year received $767
million to pay for long-lead
items that will go into the final
six Polaris craft.
The first three-the George
Washington, Patrick H enry,
and Theodore RooSevelt-cost
about $l36 million each.
But the next group of six.
covered in 1859 appropriations,
dropped to an everage of $1l3
million each. The following 10
financed in 1861 carried a price
tag Of SIP million apiece.
In 1862, the cost rose to SIG
million for each of 10 subs. And
the going rate for six Polaris
boats funded this year comes to
about Sl20 million per sub.

The vestigial yellow trolley
known simply as the No. 8
idled away during the brief stop
in the Sunday morning dark
ness in front Of Baltimore
County's Towson Courthouse.
The hands on a lighted bank
clock reached $3.50 am, and 1t
was time to ride off into his
tory. to end this cityls l04-year-
old streetcar service.
Trolley bluffs surrounded the
car like a wolf pack and
lighted her up with flashbulbs.
Somehow, the No. 8 looked EN-
barrassed because the Balti-
more Transit Company didn't
even bother to scrub her up
a bit for her one moment in
history.
Thomas jackson, the IS
year-old motorman, fingered
the buttons on the dashboard
and the trolley was off, rock
ing around q corner like q
gently-rolling ship. A fire
cracker went off under the
wheels and Mr.. Jackson
grinned.
For the first leg on what was
once the longest streetcar line
in the Nation, old No. 8 trailed
sparks from another era as her
trolley pole glided along the
overhead electrified wire. Like
a ghost train, she was slipping
out of town in the dead Of
night. And no residents really
seemed to notice.
Streets Deserted
Past darkened store fronts,
empty sidewalks and used-car
lots with red and green plastic
flags Tapping in the cold wind,
that was the only other noise
as the trolley approached.
Down York road. the homes
were shut tight and the streets
were deserted as the familiar
grinding sound Of No. 8 passed
by for the last time.
