Virginia Reports 7 Hunting Deaths, Tops 1959 Total RICHMOND, Nov. 26 (AP). —Virginia’s Young hunting season has brought accidental death to seven hunters, exceeding the fatalities for all of the 1959-60 season. Six deaths have occurred since the opening of the general hunting season Monday. One occurred in October. The State Game Commission's records showed five fatalities for last season and a total of 30 gunning accidents. All such accidents are reported by game wardens in the State. A commission spokesman pointed out, however, that there are more than 300,000 hunters in Virginia and that the number of fatalities is low in comparison with some other sports activities. The official number of 1960 hunting accidents in the State thus far is not available, the spokesman said, because of a lag in the filing of reports. At least eight non-fatal hunting accidents have been reported unofficially. The October hunting victim was Richard Arnold Twitty, 19, of Buena Vista, killed while hunting near Stuartsburg. Killed since Monday were: Clement Thomas Phelps, 22, of Hampton, on Monday, while deer hunting near Williamsburg. Wayne Gamble, 47, of Seven Mile Ford, deer hunting in Tuesday in Smyth County. Freddie Burnett, 17, of Lake City, Tenn., rabbit hunting on Thanksgiving Day in Dickinson County. Robert Laprelle, 49, Wednesday while hunting on his farm near Rural Retreat in Smyth County. Day Moses, 17, of Catawba, deer hunting Wednesday in Roanoke County, and Stafford Rokas, 16, of Patrick County, while preparing a gun to go hunting yesterday.

RAT (EXPERT Herndon Hopes He's Pied Piper By JOHN LAWSON Star Staff Writer Two officials of the Virginia State Health Department will arrive in Herndon on Wednesday to advise townspeople on how to get rid of their rat population. James Wisniewski, inspector for the department’s Bureau of Insect and Rodent Control, said he and R. E. Dorer, chief of the bureau, will speak before the town’s Rotary Club. Mr. Wisniewski said he made an inspection in the town’s business section last week and found signs of rats “all over the place.” Probably 20 of the town’s 30 business establishments have rats, he said. He did not inspect the residential section, he added. The inspection was made at the request of the Fairfax County health officer, Dr. Harold Kennedy, after Dr. Kennedy was informed of the rat problem by a Herndon physician. The physician was concerned, he said, that townspeople might spread poison to kill the rodents without first obtaining a health department investigation. Rats have been in the town for years, Mr. Wisniewski said. “There is food available, and they just multiply.” One reason, he said, is that there is no garbage collection in the town, and trash is collected only once a month. In addition, he said, grain is processed in the town, and loose feed and grain attract rats. Town Manager Brent Remsburg said the problem was no more serious than in many other communities. The matter was brought to the attention of the town council last summer by the Chamber of Commerce, he said, and the council authorized purchase of bait poison for distribution to townspeople by the Rotary Club. But some club members later expressed apprehension about the plan, he said, and it has been held up until after the Wednesday talk with health department officials. Mr. Remsburg said he did not believe that the rats coming into town had been driven out by destruction of homes and farms to make way for the new Dulles International Airport, as some have contended. Mr. Wisniewski said that when the town undertakes elimination of the rats, “it’s going to cost plenty.” Buildings will have to be rat-proofed, and then the poison will have to be spread inside the buildings and out, he said. Woman Charged With Assaulting Police Station WALDORF, Md., Nov. 26 (AP).

Butcher Sees Need Boost in Taxes Maryland to Ask Bids On 36 Road Projects Nearby Highway Jobs Include Capital Beltway in Montgomery Thirty-six separate road projects in nearby Maryland, including construction of the Capital Beltway in Montgomery County, will be advertised for bids within the next 18 months, the Maryland State Roads Commission announced yesterday. The work is part of a $115 million program scheduled on interstate, primary and secondary roads throughout the State. The Capital Beltway, Washington’s circumferential highway, will be completed from the Cabin John Bridge, now under construction, to University Boulevard by the end of 1963 under the program schedule. By that time the beltway also will be completed in Virginia, from the Woodrow Wilson Bridge at Alexandria all the way to the Cabin John span. Besides the Capital Beltway speed-up announced several weeks ago by State Roads Commission Chairman John B. Funk, planned road improvements in Montgomery include dualization of River road from the District line to the circumferential widening of Connecticut avenue from University boulevard to Viers Mill road. Construction of the Cabin John Parkway. In Prince Georges County road projects include completion of the John Hanson highway to the Kenilworth avenue interchange; dualization of Riggs road from the District line to University boulevard; dualization of Route 4 from the District line to District Heights, and dualization of University boulevard from Kenilworth avenue to Route 1. U. of Virginia Displays New Atomic Reactor CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va., Nov. 26 (AP).—A guided tour of the University of Virginia’s newly dedicated atomic reactor was scheduled today for State legislators and officials here for the school’s Commonwealth Week End exercises. The reactor, which has been in service since late summer, was dedicated last night in ceremonies attended by some 500 persons and presided over by University President Edgar F. Shannon, jr. Now used for graduate instruction in nuclear engineering, the million-watt reactor shortly will begin to produce isotopes for physics, biology, and medicine. Within the next several months it will be in position to do limited contract appeal to Court Fails To Save Old House A last-minute effort to save a historic Georgetown house from the wreckers failed yesterday in District Court. The attempt to forestall the house’s being torn down to make way for a parking lot at 1046 Wisconsin avenue N.W., was made by Washington attorney Harold H. Tittman, 111, on behalf of Armistead Peter, president of the Progressive Citizens Association of Georgetown. Mr. Tittman asked Judge Charles F. McLaughlin to grant a temporary restraining order to stop the razing of The building, Judge McLaughlin told the lawyer he would have to appear before Judge George L. Hart, jr., since Judge Hart handled matters of this type presented to the court. However, Judge Hart was not in the courthouse owing to the Thanksgiving recess. Judge MOTORISTS TOP ARCHERS AS DEER SLAYERS ANNAPOLIS (AP).— Motorists kill more deer in Maryland than do bow and arrow hunters by nearly a two-to-one margin, the Game and Inland Fish Department reported. Chester Kerns, chief of game management, says 312 deer were killed on Maryland highways from January to October. During the recent bow-and-arrow season, bowmen bagged 161. The bowmen will have a chance to improve their tally during the regular deer season December 3-10 and during the special antlerless season to be held in Wicomico, Kent, Worcester, Dorchester, Talbot and Somerset Counties December 29-31. Work for agencies outside the university. Last night's dedication speaker outlined the Atomic Energy Commission’s program of fellowships and scholarships at colleges and universities and said the University of Virginia’s reactor is one of the three largest of its kind on any university campus in the Nation. Harold L. Price, director of the AEC’s Division of Licensing and Regulation, said the increase in nuclear educational facilities is beginning to result in a favorable situation where colleges and universities can, in certain fields, begin to supply technically trained manpower needed for atomic growth. McLaughlin was the jurist on duty for the day. So, Mr. T. It was then that the attorney went back to his own office where he heard a report that the wrecking had started. The lawyer then returned to District Court, found Judge Hart in his office, but was turned down on his request for the restraining order. The citizens group had asked the District Commissioners to revoke the building permit, but the Commissioners refused on Tuesday. Mr. Tittman said any further attempts to stop the wrecking of the building would be pointless. The owner of the early 19th century house, Charles D. Ford, wants to use the site for parking space for his adjoining dwelling business. Various Georgetown groups had wanted the house restored because of its architectural and historical aspects. It has stood vacant for about two years. Manager Cites Budget Load for New Year By DANA BULLEN Star Staff Writer Montgomery County Manager Mason A. Butcher today predicted needs for new tax revenues in 1961-62 and all but ruled out any prospect of a salary increase for county employees next year. County expenditures, particularly new school construction, will create a need for “some new form of taxation” or a substantial increase in the county's assessable base, Mr. Butcher said during the City Side program on WTOP TV. “I hope it will not be necessary to even consider a payroll (for county workers) next year,” he said. County employees received a salary increase averaging 5 percent last July. Notes Competition Mr. Butcher noted, however, that Montgomery County is “not getting all the qualified employees we would like to get.” The county competes with private firms and other government agencies for personnel. The manager said the County Council's financial advisory committee has recommended a number of possible sources of additional county tax funds. These included a 1 percent. County sales tax, a 1 percent county income tax and measures aimed at retrieving the larger share of tax moneys that flow from the county to the State of Maryland. The James Committee, a group of State legislators studying fiscal problems—has proposed an increase in the cigarette tax that would net the county about $250,000 a year. Mr. Butcher said he assumed school officials would “take into account our financial ability to pay in drafting the 1961-2 school budget. This year, school items accounted for more than two thirds of all county expenditures. Silent on Rate The manager declined to predict the impact of demands for new improvements and services on next year’s tax rate but observed “obviously there will be increased expenditures... from growth alone.” On another topic, he said the county was not getting a sufficient share of State road construction funds to cover needed county projects. The most critical need, he said, was for a new road to ease traffic on Georgia avenue from the Wheaton triangle to Sixteenth street. Mr. Butcher said, in answer to a question, that he does not think the time has come for Montgomery County to scrap its present system of volunteer fire departments and shift to paid firemen. The manager said an anti-loitering law for the county proposed after a teen-age fracas in Wheaton recently “has some merit.” Raids Here Net Seven on Lottery Count Raids by the Metropolitan Police gambling squad and the Internal Revenue Service intelligence division yesterday netted seven persons here on charges of operating a lottery. Capt. Scott E. Moyer said the raiders went first to a third-floor apartment in the 1200 block of Fourteenth street N.W., where they seized five persons. On and large quantities of betting slips and paraphernalia. While there, the raiders took "dozens" of phone calls from would-be bettors on horses, numbers and football pools, Capt. Moyer said. Arrested at the Fourteenth Street address were George R. Davis, 39, of the 300 block of Maury Avenue, Glassman, Md.; Robert W. Jameson, 35, of the 1800 block of New Hampshire Avenue, N.W.; Edith May, 55, of the 1300 block of North Tenth Street, Arlington, Va.; Marie Johnson, 42, of the 1300 block of Ingraham Street N.W., and her daughter, Barbara A. Norris. Capt. Moyer said the place was doing a $1,500-a-day business. Later yesterday, other police entered the Round Table Club in the 900 block of Eleventh Street N.W. where they said they found 30 persons playing cards and checkers. Capt. Moyer said police arrested Joseph (Caesar) Brody, 55, of the 7100 block of Gateway Boulevard, District Heights, Md.; and charged him with failing to pay the Federal gambling tax as well as on the lottery charge. Also arrested there was Langhorne C. Rorer, 35, of the unit block of Arcturus Lane, Alexandria, Va. He was charged with operating a lottery. All seven were released in $1,000 bond each pending arraignment Monday.
