Bill for Parkway
May Come Up
Again Thursday
D. C.-Baltimore
Project Runs Into
Fight in House
By Harold B. Rogers
The Washington - Baltimore
parkway bill, to which the House
devoted more than three hours
yesterday without reaching a flna:
vote, probably will come up on the
floor again later this week.
House leaders pointed out the
measure has the right of way un
der a rule adopted during yes
terday’s debate.
Reported out of the House Pub
lic Works Committee by unani
mous vote, the measure had been
expected to be non-controversial
or a day when many House mem
bers were out of the city. But it
provoked long debate and some
bitter attack.
Opponents, principally Repub
lican, charged the measure had
been scheduled for action by the
House leadership without ade
quate notice last Friday. Such
an important bill, authorizing $13
million, should not be considered
with so relatively small an attend,
ance, opponents declared. The
bill also was attacked by members
of the economy bloc.
Resorting to quorum calls and
roll calls on votes, the opposition
succeeded in delaying the final
vote until finally, with only 82
members counted on the floor it
was agreed to postpone consid
eration of the bill. It then be
came unfinished business, with
high priority on the program for
the future.
Accused of “Pork Smell.”
Representative Wilson, Repub
lican, of Indiana, who had made a
bitter attack on the procedure
used in calling the bill up with
out “adequate notice” to the mem
bership, said after adjournment
that on a final vote he might
favor the bill, if It were amended
During debate, he charged the
bill “smelled of pork” and should
have been considered as a part
of the big Federal-aid-to-high
ways measure slated also to come
up on the House floor later this
week.
The bill was strongly defended
by Chairman Whittington of the
House Public Works Committee.
Representative Fallon, Democrat,
of Maryland; Representative Beall,
Republican, of Maryland; Repre
sentative Dondero, Republican, of
Michigan, and Representative
Sasscer, Democrat, of Maryland.
Proponents explained to the
House that the project had been
started by President Roosevelt,
who transferred about $2 million
from funds of the expiring In
dustrial Recovery Act to the Pub
lie Roads Bureau for develop
ment of the highway as a de
fense measure.
The Federal project was started
on its southern portion, to con
nect Washington with Fort
Meade, Md., and other nearby
Federal reservations. Maryland
authorities agreed to complete the
roadwray from Fort Meade to
Baltimore.
8 Miles Completed.
Mr. Fallon insisted the State
would never have built such a
divided parkway with a right of
way 400 feet wide, and a 100-foot
strip of parkway between the dual
lane highways, except for the Fed
eral request. Maryland, he ex
plained, has completed about 8
miles of the highway from Balti
more to a point below the new
Friendship airport, and by 1952
will complete the rest of the proj
ect for 5 more miles to Jessup's
road, near Fort Meade.

the days that stood out for big
sales were those when President
Harding died in 1923 and when
Charles A. Lindbergh landed in
Paris in 1927, after his trans-At
lantic flight.
Mr. Blasey had the respect of
every news dealer in his territory
and of his employers for the tvay
he serviced his territory. Whether
it was 2,000 or 5,000 papers a day,
he kept the stands covered.

To Resume Thursday
The Public Utilities Commis
sion will continue its public hear
ing on bus servic^ in the Fairfax

day, with new evidence expected
from one of the two bus com
panies affected.
The commission yesterday heard
nine residents of the area testify
in support of the extension of
Capital Transit Co. service on two
lines.
The PUC had ordered extension

& Annapolis Motor Lines could
show effects of the change on
its service in Southeast Washing
ton. W. M. & A. brought suit last
summer, asking the PUC ruling
be set aside.
James P. Donovan, attorney
for W. M. & A., said he planned
to introduce evidence on Thurs
day based on a recent survey the
company made in the area,
j Both W. M. & A. and Capital
| Transit have testified extension
of the C-2 line would duplicate
present service and cause both
companies to lose money on the
lines.
Residents of Southeast Wash
ington who testified in favor of
the extensions were Mr. and Mrs.
William F. Osche, Miss Marjorie
Myers, Theodore J. Himmelberg.
William J. Wise, James H. Reed,

Mother's Ruse Blocks
Father's Trip Abroad
With Arlington Boy
How an Arlington mother “res
cued” her 4 V2-year-old son, from
his father in Montreal was related
today by the mother’s attorney,
who is representing her in a
divorce suit.
Principals in the “rescue” are
Mr. and Mrs. William Curtis and
their son Henry. Mrs. Curtis and
her son live at 373 North Nelson
street.
Under terms of an Arlington
court order, Mr. Curtis is entitled
to his son’s custody for three hours
each Sunday afternoon.
Told of Trip to England.
Mrs. Curtis’ attorney, John Paul
Jones, gave the following account
of what happened:
Last Sunday Mr. Curtis came as
usual and took Henry with him,
but at the expiration of the three
hour period did not return the
.boy.
Later in the evening Mrs. Curtis
received a telegram and a letter
(the latter delivered by a friend),
telling her that her husband and
Henry were en route to England
by way of Montreal. *
Mrs. Curtis consulted Mr. Jones.
Then, with her father, George F.
Snell, 25 Poplar avenue, Takoma
Park, she flew to New York, where
they chartered a plane lor
Montreal.
Plane for England Delayed.
About 3:30 a.m. yesterday, they
arrived in the Canadian city and
found that the plane for England
had been delayed because of bad
weather. They also learned that
Mr. Curtis and Henry were at a
hotel near the airport.
Mr. Curtis was pursuaded to
attend a conference at which a
Canadia immigration officer sug
gested the dispute be taken to the
American consulate. The immi
gration officer had no authority to
act in the case.
The suggestion of the immigra
tion officer was accepted but Mrs.
Curtis took Henry in a separate
cab.
Wins Cab Driver’s Aid.
As they drove along, Mrs. Cur
tis spoke to the cab driver in
French, asking him if he would
pull alongside the cab in which
her husband was riding and tell
the other driver to “get lost.” Her
husband does not speak French.
The driver followed her in
structions and the second cab
driver did as requested. Mrs.
Curtis’ driver then rushed her to
the airport, where she got a plane
for New York. Mr. Snell, an in
formation specialist for the De
I partment of Agriculture, flew
I back later.
Texas Republican Signed Up
For Congressional Ball Game
When Runt Bishop, manager
of the Republican Congressional
Baseball Team, leads his men into
Griffith Stadium Friday night for
the annual Evening Star Summer
Camp Fund game, he will present
a real Congressional curiosity, a
Republican representative from
Texas.
Holding flown right field for part
of the game at least will be Repre
j sentative Ben Guill from the 18th
District of Texas where he won a
1 special election.
The Republicans will have a
powerful set of coaches on hand,
headed tyy Representative Martin
of Massachusetts, Representative
Halleck of Indiana and Represen
tative Hill of Colorado. On hand
to see that the boys toe the mark
will be Representative Arends of
Illinois, the Republican whip.
Representative Auchincloss of New
Jersey, is the trainer.
The Republican lineup will in
clude a number of new faces, not
the least of whom will be the first
Senator to play in the Congres
sional game. Senator Cain of
Washington whose batting prow
ess has placed him further up the
batting order than usual for a
pitcher. Of his pitching ability,
the Washington Nats can attest
after watching him work out last
week with catcher Mickey Grasso.
Dividing the center field duties
with Representative' Wilson of
Indiana will be Representative
Patterson of Connecticut, £ for
mer Marine major. He is new to
the Republican team. Another
newcomer will 8e Representative
Bennett of Michigan, who will be
on first base. Others include Rep
resentative Nicholson of Massa
chusetts and Representative Lovre
| of South Dakota who will share
left field duties, and Representa
tive Saylor of Pennsylvania who
will catch.
When Mr. Saylor, who was
elected in a special election last
•fall, arrived at the Capitol the
first person he met was Runt
Bishop, who inquired as to his
baseball playing ability. When
informed that he is a catcher,
Runt immediately signed him up,
quite an honor for a freshman in
Congress, Mr. Saylor thought. In
fact, he proudly informed his
family immediately on returning
home. His 8-year-old son, John
Phillips, refused to be impressed.
As he expressed it:
‘‘They must be hard up for
catchers.”

Girl, 13, Shows Fish Guillotine
At Scholastic Science Show
Mary Helen Martin, 17, a Hyattsville. High School junior,
plays executioner at a fish guillotine. —Star Staff Photo.
An electric guillotine to behead
and de-tail fish, the construction
job of a 13-year-old girl, is an
entry in the fourth annual scho
lastic Science Show that opened
today in the Commerce Depart
ment lobby.
Mary Kreek, an eighth-grader
at Alice Deal Junior High School,
said she got the idea from French
novels and movies. “Last year I
exhibited flower allergies,” she
explained. “This year. I wanted
something that moved.”
Mary also manufactured the
“fish” to be executed. She melt
ed old candles, beef fat, orange
crayons and paraffin in a toy fish
mold.
“Place both head and tail on
guillotine,” the sign beside Mary’s
exhibit tells spectators. Already
there’s a big pile of “fish remains”
on the guillotine platform and the
exhibit has three more days to go.
Mary gives full instructions on
how to be an “executioner.” You
throw a switch that starts a toy
sewing machine motor. Then the
blade of a kitchen knife supported
by Erector set metal lets go with
a whack. It could do a good job
of trimming a. slow finger, as the
‘Beware” signs point out.
The guillotine was one of more
than 500 exhibits that an unscien
tific-minded reporter could un
derstand. Edelen Dominie, 17, of
Upper Marlboro, kept saying that
his atom smasher with 1 million
electron volts speding around was
“very simple.” But the reporter
left the atom smasher uncon
vinced.
Mary and Edelen will be among
other students from private, pa
rochial and public schools in the
Washington area whose exhibits
will be judged at 8 o’clock tonight.
The exhibit is sponsored by the
Washington Academy of Sciences
and affiliated science societies.

Kefauver Bill Opposed
By Chevy Chase Unit
The Citizens’ Association of
Chevy Chase, D. C„ last night
opposed the Kefauver bill for
District home rule, 43 to 33.
Charles G. Lueck, who moved
adoption of the executive com
mittee’s adverse report on the
bill, said “we feel it does not
give us what we want”—national
representation.
Harry N. Stull, whose substi
tute motion to back the Kefauver
bill in principle was lost, asserted
that the “question is whether we
want home rule or whether we
don’t" and • that this bill gives
a measure of home rule.
“Hie form of government we
have here now,” he added, “is
not satisfactory—to me at least.”
The association, meeting in the
Chevy Chase Community Center,
Connecticut avenue and McKinley
street N.W., also indorsed James
E. Schwab, a member of the
group, for reappointment to the
District Recreation Board when
his present term expires May 29.

Traffic Survey to Take
12 to 18 Months More,
Planners Are Told
*
A year to 18 months more will
be required to complete the Wash
ington area traffic survey started
in March, 1948, Commissioner
Thomas H. MacDonald of the Bu
reau of Public Roads said today.
Mr. MacDonald told the Na-1
tional Citizens’ Conference on |
Planning at the Hotel Statler that
the survey, financed jointly by the
District, Maryland and Virginia
and the bureau, has spent $150,000
for field work and $36,000 has
been allocated to analyze the sta
tistics gathered.
Although it will be some time
before the analysis is completed,
Mr. MacDonald declared that in
the meantime, definite recommen
dations can be offered on imme
diate problems without violating
the final result.
Like Spokes of Wheel.
Mr. MacDonald said the final
pattern of arterial highways, here
and elsewhere, wi)l be like the
spokes of a wheel. There will be
connecting roadways on the rim
and at intervals within the giant
circle, he explained.
But he told the planners that
in addition to major highway de
velopment mass transit systems
over the country must be extended
and rehabilitated, general street
systems improved and liberal park
ing provisions made.
Earlier sessions today were de
voted to population and zoning
and the part that citizens’ groups
play in planning and urban re
development. The conference,
under the auspices of the American
Planning and Civic Association
and the American Institute of
Planners, broke up into panel
discussions at the start of today's
program.
Popular Support Needed.
John T. Mladgen, executive
director of the Citizens’ Council on
City Planning, Philadelphia, told
of interesting school teachers and
students in the planning program.
He emphasized that unless an
official plan for civic development
has popular support it will fail.
Miss Frances P. Morton, execu
tive secretary of the Citizens’
Planning an,d Housing Associa
tion, Baltimore, told of successful
fights there to put across a civic
improvement plan. Granville
Moore, vice president of the Great
er Dallas Planning Council, Dallas,
Tex., suggested that, old families
who have built up fortunes in a
community can be interested in
leaving funds to carry on com
munity improvement. *
Some of the three-story apart
ment houses being constructed in
I the Washington region are
potential’ future slums, Arthur C.j
Comey, Cambridge (Mass) plan
ning consultant, told a session
yesterday.
Mr. Comey told the delegation
proper zoning could have avoided
the potential slum situation in
the Washington area. Two-story
apartment houses would have been
better, he said. He did not specify
the locations to which he re
ferred. _
Youth Repudiates
Confession in Killing
Of Store Watchmen
William A. Tyler, 18, indicted as
the slayer of two Lansburgh &
Bro. department store watchmen,
today repudiated a confession he
made to police.
The colored former store em
ploye told United States Commis
sioner Cyril S. Lawrence he ad
mitted the April 7 murders because
he was “tired and sick" after long
hours of questioning.
Tyler was being arraigned on
charges of assaulting and robbing
Isaac Jack Katzoff, a pharmacist
—the case that led to the purported
Lansburgh confession.
Immediately after the hearing,
in another office at Municipal
Center, Mr. Katzoff was presented
with a $1,000 check by Lans
burgh’s, which gave another check
in the same amount to the Boys’
Club of the Metropolitan Police
Department.
Tyler Tells of Handcuffs.
At the'arraignment, Tyler said
in a soft, barely audible voice:
“They kept me in tight hand
cuffs all the time. Finally, my
hands got blue and I was tired
and sick of messing with them. 1
signed a statement but it isn’t
true. I didn’t do those murders
and I told my lawyer so.”
Tyler, who was arrested May 5,
charged that he was forced to
"even sleep” in handcuffs before
he signed the statement the fol
lowing day.
Ralph L. Goldsmith, vice presi
dent and general manager of
Lansburgh's, said the contribu
tion to the boys’ club served as a
tribute to the “intensive and
astute” work of the Police De
partment, which is not permitted
to receive cash rewards.
Katzoff Identifies Assailant.
The check to Mr. Katzoff was
offered in “deep sympathy” to him
for the injuries suffered in the
attack which led to discovery of
Tyler as a Lansburgh’s suspect.
Representing police at the pres
entation were Acting Supt. Wal
ter H. Storm and Capt. Robert V.
Murray, assistant chief of de
tectives.
Mr(. Katzoff identified Tyler as
the man who accosted him as
he was leaving his store at 2107
Alabama avenue S.E.
The druggist told Commissioner
Laurence that Tyler, angered
when he found no riloney, tied his
hands behind his back, took his
keyes and stabbed him.
Mr. Katzoff added that Tyler
hit him on the head three or four
times after saying, “I ought to
kill you.” and then choked him.
The druggist recently was released
from Gallinger Hospital.
Church Bill Approved
The House today passed and
sent to the Senate a bill to amend
the charter of the Presbyterian
Congregation of Georgetown. The
measure would permit the church
to change the date of its annual
meeting and to increase the
amount it could receive from
rented property.

Richitt Jokes
About Surprise
Trip to Chicago
Captain, on Leave,
Helps Secret Service
Guard Truman
Capt. Anthony Richitt. exiled
to the eighth precinct, is hob
nobbing with President Truman's
party again—at least temporarily.
Much to the surprise of re
porters covering the President's
trip. Capt. Richitt showed up-last
night with the Secret Service in
Chicago to help guard the Presi
dent.
His superiors back home were
surprised, too. All they knew was
that Capt. Richitt was taking an
nual leave.
Capt. Richitt—key figure in a
still-secret report to the Commis
sioners—laughed off his unex
pected advent in Chicago by say
ing he "caught a long street car
and came up."
In any case, there he was when
the parade to the Democratio
jubilee starring the President got
j under way. r
Both the President and Capt.
Richitt are due back at their desks
here tomorrow.
Said Acting Police Supt. Walter
H. Storm:
"To the best of my knowledge,
no official request was made to
police by the White House or any
one else for Capt. Richitt to go to
j Chicago."
Inspector Storm explained Capt.
Richitt is taking annual leava
and can go wherever he pleases.
It is not necessary. Inspector
Storm said, for an officer on leava
to say where he is going.
Capt. Richitt went on leave as
of Saturday. Sunday is his day
day off. He took annual leave
yesterday and today.
This isn’t the first time Capt.
i Richitt has Journeyed with the
President. Last year they were in
Key West together. But Capt.
Richitt was still with the Third
or “White House” Precinct then.
Thereafter he was transferred to
the eighth precinct. He blamed
his transfer on the fact he had
given information secretly to tha
House District subcommittee in
vestigating crime. This informa
tion included the charge that
Emmitt Warring, the reputed
gambler, had referred to Police
Supt. Robert J. Barrett as "the
boss.” The subcommittee prompt
ly called Maj. Barrett, Capt. Rich
itt and Warring to public hear
ings that lasted two days and
’ were punctuated with denials.
After the hearings. Special As
■ sistant Corporation Counsel Dan
| iel B. Maher charged that evidence
’ I had been uncovered tending to
j indicate perjury had been com
I mitted before the subcommittee
and third precinct records had
been altered with ink eradicator.
Reported to City Heads.
Mr. Maher made a report to
the Commisioners on the whole
thing early last month. Commis
sioner John Russell Young said
last Monday the report—and any
action prompted by it—probably
would be announced last week.
But as the week drew to a close.
Commissioner Young discovered
additional information was needed
and the report is still a secret.
If Capt. Rlchitt was worried
j about the report and possible
action resulting from it, he didn’t
show it when he made his appear
ance in Chicago last night.
Capt. Charles Sullivan, Capt.
Richitt’s successor at the third
precinct, was asked by a reporter
if an Invitation to Chicago was
first extended to him as present
commander of the "White House”
precinct.
“You’re Jesting with me now.’*
responded Capt. Sullivan with a
chuckle. “I’m Just an old Wash
ington policeman.”
