A blue ribbon committee oi
young lawyers has tentatively
concluded that present District
bail procedures should be mod.
flied on an experimental basis
to help indigent defendants In
felony cases.
The committee has suggested
that the District inaugurate an
experiment freeing persons ar
rested for felonies who, after
Investigation, appear to be
good risks not TO flee this juris-
diction.
The experiment would apply
to good risk defendants who
cannot obtain bail bonds from
professional bondsmen. The
committee has not decided
whether the plan should en-
compass all persons arrested
for felonies who appear TO be
good risks. The suggested ex-
pertinent would not cover per-
sons arrested for misdemean-
ors.
The prospective plan. n re-
suit Of more than nine months
intensive study by the young
legal group. is particularly sig
nificant because the committee
report was done for the Judi
cial Conference, which Is also
studying the bail system here.
New York Plan Cited
The plan was put forth by
the bail committee of the Jun
Tor Bar Section OF the Bar
Association Of the District OF
Columbia.
The committees tentative
conclusions are contained In
this months issue Of "The
Young Lawyer Of the District
OF Columbia" which Is pub
lished by the Junior Bar Sec
ton.
James Belson. chairman Of
the committee, said that the
suggested experiment was linn
tied TO persons charged with
felonies because the most fire.
quent cases Of long detention
before trial exist primarily in

Court. q"
Mr.. Belson said that the bail
committee concluded, as a re-
suit Of its interim report, that
some experimental plan should
be put into effect here. much
the same as the Vera Founda-
ton Project in New York.

committee has not yet drawn
up specific suggestions. How
ever. he said. the committee

project would be advisable 10

TO PARK in the Zone
Bleu, or blue zone, you must
have a "disque bleu" - q
cardboard gadget that you
can "set" TO show hours Of

your car, you set the disc to
the specified hour at which
your parking period is TO

1t behind the windshield.
This blue disc Is the foun-
dation for the entire Paris

your time is up you must
hurry to your car and reset
the disc. Otherwise, you'll
face a summons and a fine.
AS the French have ana
lyzed 1t, this scheme has
these good points: "a It

D.C.Weighs Action
On Housing Bias
Move Foreseen
Unless Congress
Passes Measure
BY CHARLES PIERCE
Star Staff Writer

The District Commissioners
might very we'll" adopt an
anti discrimination housing
regulation If Congress does not
pass legislation on this subject
by fall, Walter N. Tobriner
said yesterday.
Mr.. Tobriner, president Of
the Board Of Commissioners.
said that the Commissioners
have deferred action so far in
order to give Congress an OPP
portunity to pass legislation
If it so desires.
IF they don't desire to do
so within a reasonable time"
Mr.. Tobriner said the Com
missioners will exercise author
ity on their own after a public
hearing"
While the city's position is
that the Commissioners already
have authority to adopt anti
bias regulations, most members
Of House District subcommit-
tee considering whether hous-
ing discrimination legislation is
needed believe that the Com
missioners cannot take this &C
ton without specific legisla-
tive approval.
Draft Bill Submitted
At the request Of this House
District subcommittee. the cor
poration counsel's office has
submitted a draft bill to ban
District housing discrimination.
However. in presenting the
draft, Chester Gray, corpora
ton counsel. emphasized that
he was doing this only at the
request Of the subcommittee
and had not discussed the
draft with the Commissioners.
Mr.. Tobriner, when asked on
the WWDC program. Report
to the People" If he favored
jail sentences and fines for
persons who violated any anti
discrimination housing order
that might be adopted, said
that this has to be deter
mined after a public hearing"
Asked what agency in the
District Government would ad-
minister such a regulation, Mr..
Tobriner said 1t might be the
corporation counsel's office, the
Human Relations Council or
any other body found to be
necessary.
Report on Transit Study
On the subject Of the Com
missioners' reaction to the
National Capital Transporta-
tion Agency's mass transit
study, Mr.. Tobriner said that
the Commissioners report will
be submitted to the Bureau Of
the Budget early this week.
Asked II the Commissioners
have taken a position yet on
the bill introduced by Senator
Fulbright. Democrat Of Ar
kansas, to restrict location Of
chanceries in District residen-
tial areas, Mr.. Tobriner said
the Commissioners have not
made a report yet on the meas
ure.
"our position has not solidi-
fled yet" He added that legu-
lations by the District Zoning
Commission to control location
Of chanceries would be as ef-
fective as an act Of Congress.
Mr.. Tobriner also said that
of a new director
for the District Welfare De-
partment will be made soon.

THE FRENCH government
Is working on the housing
shortage, building huge de-
velopments in the Paris out
skirts. But q Frenchman's
thoughts, as with people
everywhere, are geared to
cars.
In the last three years
sales have been phenomenal.
At the end Of last year, IS
per cent Of all single adults
or families owned an auto
mobile, and the percentage
Is continuing to rise.
With more cars have come
the usual headaches-traffic
congestion, lack of parking
space, demands for better
highways.
And in France, all roads
lead to Paris. So a "Boule-
ward Peripherique" "a cir
cumferential highway de-
signed to keep cars outside
Paris was put under con-
struction. Tentative expert
mentS have been started
with an intown expressway.
With a magnificent city to
preserve and the pressure Of
car ownership only now be-
ginning to reach the critical
stage, officials so far have
been able largely to stave off
physical changes in the city
by rearguard actions.
Gasoline stations have
been kept small and incon-
spicuouS. Destruction of few
buildings has been permitted
to make way for parking
lots. And someone dreamed
up the "zone Bleu," in the
central city, to keep out
parking meters.

Terps, Virginia
Go With New
Quarterbacks
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star Staff Writer

Maryland and Virginia, each
looking for its first victory of
the season, will start new quar-
terbacks today and this appar-
emily has the oddsmakers as
uneasy as the rival coaches.
The Terps are rated a toss
up against North Carolina at
Byrd Stadium while Virginia is
practically one against Virginia
Military at Richm ond. The
Keydets are favored by a shak-
ey point.
Bob Sullivan, a 19-year- old
North Carolinian who came to
Maryland without athletic
scholarship aid, will be the
Terps' starting signal C aller,
but most eyes will be on Dick
Sinner, the regular, on the
sldelines.
Sinner Expected>tO Play
Sinners hip injury is i'm
proving daily and the Terps
expect to use him in spot situa-
tions. The Tar Heels figure
there will be plenty of spots.
They've planned their defenses
as if Sinner were to play full
time.
Maryland clipped the Tar
Heels, 31-13, last season in
what Coach Tom Nugent calls
his teams best game of the
year. 1t was 1913 at the half
but the Terps broke it open in
the fourth quarter.
The Tar Heels journey here
with a 81 record. They've beer
getting plenty of mileage from
a Junior Edge-to-Bob Lacey
passing combination, plus g
big-back offense geared tt
husky runners Ken Willar
and Eddie Kesler. Both weigh
better than 215 and also are
excellent pass protectors.
Air Attack Expected.
Virginia goes with Ton
Hodges, a sophomore from
Alexandria, as its starter, Some
interpret the move as a tipofi
that the Cavaliers, who have
scored only II points so far, will
go to the air. A promising
passer, Hodges will alternate
with Bob Dunphey, the starter

Carolina and Virginia Tech.
