Road Builders
In Court

A College Park nuclear SCI
enlist is resigning himself to
being awakened at 8 o'clock
every morning by the roar of
construction machines on the
Capital Beltway project.
DR.. William w. Gerken of the
Bureau of Standards said he is
giving up his efforts to get
eight hours of sleep a night
while the Beltway is being built
near his home trailer at Lo-
Gust lane.
He made the decision after
he took s. j. Groves and Sons,
the builders, and general super
intendent George Lang to Hy-
attSville Peoples Court yeSter-
day on a warrant charging
them with disturbing the peace.
His warrant and a related
one were continued after an
agreement was reached between
Assistant States Attorney Lloyd
James and the firm.
Mr.. James said the road
builders agreed to work from 6
am. to II pm - that leaves
seven hours for sleep-put muf-
flers on their machines and not
to start them near homes
1.-THE agreement wasn't very
satisfactory to me-" DR.. Gerken
said afterwards. He was trying
to get the builder to work from
Z am. to IL pm. $50 the people
in the neighborhood would get
eight hours of Sleep" he said.
A warrant charging the road
builders with creating a nui-
sance was sworn out 10 days
ago by Robert M. Dolby of 1908
Elton road, a glnsmith who
lives about two miles from DR..
Gerken.
Mr.. Dolby said the situation
has improved with the agree
ment but we're still not get
ting a full nights Sleep"

D. c. Transit bus drivers to-

improperly forcing them to
carry around an average Of

ing the drivers to become
prime targets for yokings and
robberies.
The drivers alleged in a Dis
trict Court suit that D. C.

token requirements from its
present average Of $50 per
driver to $125-and in some
instances more than 5000.
In addition, the drivers claim
that they win be even more
subjected to robberies under
the new system because they
will be ordered to take the
cash boxes home at night, in
stead OF turning them in at
the end Of the day as they do
now.

Protest Halls

On DC. Funds
Brief Notice Cuts
Attendance Of
Committeeman
BY SAM EASTMAN
Star staff Writer

A House District Committee
meeting on revenue bills for
Washington broke up today
after a protest that the session
was called on such brief notice
that a number Of members
could not attend.
The meeting was set yester-
day after a subcommittee APP
proved two financing measures
for the city.
The subcommittee rejected
the Administrators flexible fl
nancing bills, and instead voted
for flat increases in the Gov
ernment's annual payment to-
the District and in the amount
the city may borrow.
At today's closed meeting Of
the full committee, Representa-
tive Cohelan, Democrat of Cali
fornia, who favors the admin
istration- backed revenue rails
ing proposals, took the position
that notice of the session was
too brief.
At least four members could
not attend because Of other de-
mands, according to Mr.. Co
helan.
He told Chairman Mcmillan,
who later reScheduled the COM
mittee meeting for next Thurs
day. that all of the ''loyal oppo-
sition" should be present when
a decision is reached on the
revenue legislation.
Mr.. Cohelan said he wanted
to offer substitute proposals for
the legislation Endorsed yester-
day by the subcommittee,
headed by Representative
Whitener, Democrat of North
Carolina.
The subcommittee reported
out bills, sponsored by Mr.. Nc
MILAN, that would:
/. Raise the Districts annual
authorized Federal payment
from $32 million to $45 million.
2. Authorize the city to bor-
row an additional SIS million
to finance general construction.
Mr.. Cohelan said that in
addition to his own vote, he
had proxies from Representa-
tives Multer, Democrat Of New
York. and Diggs. Democrat Of
Michigan.
Besides Mr.. Multer and Mr..
Diggs, members who felt that
the meeting should be post
poned repeatedly included DEM
ocratic Representatives Sisk of
California and Dawson of I'LL
nois.
| Mr.. Cohelan's plan is to first
move that President Kennedy's
Financing measure be approved
INSTEAD Of the flat-increase
legislation Endorsed by the sub
committee.
If this move fails, Mr.. Cohe-
Ian then would propose that
the Federal grant bill be
amended to raise the author
lied annual payment to $50
million. This is the amount
that would be authorized the
first year under the admins
tration's formula-type measure.
Under the administrations
proposal. the annual Federal
grant would be equal to the
amount that the Government
would pay the District If the
Government paid taxes on its
property here.
The administrators bill
would set the city's borrowing
ceiling at 6 per cent Of the
combined assessed value of real
and personal property in the
District.

Planners to Press
For 3 Road Protects
To Ask Congress
To Revive Work
Kennedy Held Up

Maryland planners win ask
Congress to support three
major highway projects in
Washington which have been
delayed by the President in
favor Of rail transit proposals.
The INSTRUMENTATION Cap
ital Park and Planning COM
mission voted unanimously yes
terday to urge the Congress to
continue plans for the Three
Sisters Bridge, the north leg Of
the Inner Loop and the Poto-
mac River Freeway, which
would tie into the suburban
Maryland roads system.
The three projects were de-
layed by President Kennedy
by a program which he sent
to Capitol Hill several weeks
ago. He requested their delay
pending further study of a $793
million rail transit system pro-
posed by the National Capital
Transportation Agency.
Disagree With Move
I'VE should make it en-
inently clear that although we
do not oppose rapid transit, we
disagree with the deletion Of
the highway projects" declared
j. Newton Brewer, vice chair
man.
IF these are not included.
we oppose the whole PROPOSE
ton. If this highway program
does not move ahead within 10
years, We are not going to be
able to move at all in the
Washington area"
Mr.. Brewer pointed out that
Montgomery County, with the
highest per capita income in
the United States, has "a sub
stantial number of citizens who
own at least two cars"
1.-THE real question seems to
be, will the people in Mont
gomery County use rapid tran
sit If it is made available to
them," he added.
Would Follow Tracks
THE planning board feels
that the first transit expert
ment should be along the ex-
listing railroad tracks of the
Baltimore & Ohio, which pass
through the most heavily popu-
lated area of Montgomery
County" Mr.. Brewer said. "If
transit cannot be supported
along. this route, which viii be
the least costly to put in opera
ton, it is extremely doubtful IL
viii be supported in the Be-
theSda area"
Mr.. Brewer said that he con-
sidered it extremely unlikely
that Congress would be willing
to spend nearly $500 million for
rapid transit in the Washing
ton area.
Based on the most recent
election in Montgomery County.
1t hardly seems likely that the
voters would be willing to pay
the taxes necessary to support
such a program in our county"
The commission voted to
send Mr.. Brewer and Chairman
William ]. Stevens to present
the groups stand to all con-
gressional committees studying
transportation proposals.

clave, for the Catholic Re-
lief Services.
He found warehouses filled
with American flour. It's dis

What to do with flour was
not a problem to an Italian
American. Bread, yes; but

Chinese love noodles,
whether rice or wheat or
other grains.
Msgr. Romaniello found a
noodle machine. He said
proudly, 1.-THE noodles we
gave away are better than
you can buy in this country.
Our recipe is 10 per cent
wheat flour, 20 per cent pow
dered milk and ten per cent
corn meal.
II doubt that any COM
mercial producers Of noodles
in this country could COM
pete with that recipe"
Noodles suggest long life
TO the Chinese.
The potential market for
free noodles in Hong Kong is
a whopper. The population
Is 4 million--about one mil

the Chinese mainland.
The Monsignor didn't get
into the unfortunate situa-
ton that plaques the District
Welfare Department. He did
not attempt to distribute the
noodles from one central sta
ton.

over Hong Kong. Today 20
noodle machines in eight
cen locations are producing
