'OA'E WOULD BLOCK BOOST Vk.rr,ri V. Music In The Air If Spring is a time of blossoms and young loe, it also is a time for music, as far as Akron high schools are concerned. From eery school in the city these days may be heard the rehearsals of orchestras, bands and venal groups wafting music out into the clear, sunny air. It's a last moment of relaxation and joy before the final press of May tests and, for the seniors, the annual chaos of preparing for graduation. Concerts were scheduled almost every April weekend and others will be held earlv this month.

Friday in the school. Watching Jack I 1,1 11 1 I By THOMAS S. HANEY Making "a good score" or "a pood mark" is one thing. Being a heist man on the lam'or bookie handling layoff" is; quite another. Gangland talks that way-of 'f so it would seem from testi-1 mony In the Wahoo Bar hur-f glary trial here.

"SCORE- WAS the first term to rome under scrutiny. Paul! Carpenter used "a good score" repeatedly during a day on stand for the state. Prosecutor John Ballard finally interrupted. Just what.j he wanted to know, was "a score." Carpenter, articulate and with' a college background, explained that a "score" is under-! world slang for "a successful burglary, with lots of money involved." THE WAHOO burglary, which Carpenter says he helped plan and carry out. was "a good score." It netted above $10,000, Did Carpenter know the three men on trial in the same "score." Ernie Foti of Akron.

John Lexune of Cleveland and Art La Rich, of Elyria? He did. Foti had introduced him to Iexune. He said he knew Iexune only as "Skip." -KOTI SAIIJ Skip was heist man on the lam from! Texas and With Rallard about to ask for another, explanation. Car-! penter checked himself "That means," he said. "Lex-, line was being described as Mick up or hold-up man wanted omewheie in Texas." I I CARPENTER'S 30-year-old; wife, Betty Jane, followed him to the stand to say she knew omething was wrong when she aw the Wahoo loot.

The money Was counted in her apartment home, she said. "I thought they had got the. money in a score or as they! sometimes called if. 'a mark'." MRS. CARPENTER went; again into the speech of gang-j land on the subject of "sing-1 ing." She had been wrongly! Identified as a night club I ran carry a tune In a bucket.

I'm a waitress and I've never done any singing until "Isn't that what you call it." she asked amid laughter, "when you tell wha'. you know about. a crime" i THE WORD "job" was used; often in connection with the: Vaho burglary. It remained i for Foti to go into gambling; terms. Foti said he met Carpenter while both were hooking horses at the Ascot Park track.

"He'd give me some layoff bets and occasionally I give him some." Foti explained. i "A bookie can handle only so; much. If he gets too much on a horse, he'll try to spread somej of it around so he won't be put vut of business. "IF HE GETS a big Foti continued, "he may have to take it to the window" thei verular track bettin? windows which are legal. Foti said he had been forced to pay off some of the heavier.

SIihIpiiI lroIrinf I Junior Red Cross Bus Two Plans Would Cut Service Wasick Cites Earninjis Drop Akron bus riders can pay present fares for reduced service, or they can keep present service by paying increased: fares.

But Akron Transportation' Co. ATC cannot mainlainj present service without an in- i crease in fares. Public Utilities! Commissioner William Wasicki said today. Wasick put four choices be-j fore City Council's public util-i ities committee today. They range from making major ruts in service to one plan which would increase service.

One. he said, could forestall iany additional increase in fares until at least the Spring of 1959. THESE ARE the choices thei Councilmen faced: 1 Keep fares at the present i but cut mileage by about! 340.000 miles this year" I This would definitely cut into; i rush-hour service, said Wasick. It would mean taking off some. busses when thev are most; needed.

2 Keep cash fares at the; present 20 cent level, but in-1 crease token fares by a penny. I Customers would then pay 95; cents for five tokens, instead of! present 90 cents. Also, sell 10 school tokens for $1 in- stead of the present 11 for $1. This plan would force thei company to cut service only; 4.67 per cent about 200,000 miles according to Wasick. By, taking off busses on weekends and at night, rush hour service could be maintained.

There is also some sentiment in Council for cutting off the jLakemore and Portage Lakes lines, both big losers, in order to protect Akron riders. S. RAISE the cost of tokens to five for Si. and school tokens! I to 10 for $1 while keeping cash' i fares at 20 cents. 1 would have practically' jno service cuts this year under! "this arrangement." said 4.

Grant ATC its proposed; two-cent fare increase, plus two-cent transfer charge. I The company would have to increase service about 5 per- cent (roughly 200.000 Jhis year with such a fare in-; crease, said Wasick. AI.E FOl'R plans take into consideration passencer this year's wage increases for; bus timers and mechanics, and' the $30,000 savings to ATC from reduced license fees. ATC is entitled bv franchise i to earn $163,000 this With-1 out an incrpau in fai-pc i But it can be forestalled, he said, if council should choose to' grant ATC its full fare increase' this year. The additional serv-; ice added this year under this plan could be lopped off after next April to keep the books balanced.

South Su An inspector of the state Public Utilities Commission recommended to city officials today i that E. South st.

be made oneway eastbound in the vicinity of the ery dangerous and hai-; ardous" railroad crossing. Inspector J. R. Ottaviano rec-'ommended sending westbound traffic over the Thornton st. viaduct instead.

He also urced the permanent closing of the V'oris st. crossing- OTTAVIANO. who made th'e study at the request of City Council, said these crossings should be corrected as soon as possible. Westbound traffic on South st. jams this crossing, said Ottaviano.

when it backs -up frorft the traffic light at S. High st, "'It is impossible for the crossing watchman to control this heavy flow of westbound cars." said the utilities inspector. Ottaviano counted f4 trains using the eight tracks of the crossing during a 12-hour period. in "WHEN TRAFFIC jams this crossing, it becomes the target of these approaching trains." said the inspector. "And the crossing watchman on the east side of the crossing is only a human target." Voris st.

crossing can be closed permanently because it is seldom used, he said, and not needed with Thornton viaduct so near. If it is closed. Ottaviano said the railroads should construct a pedestrian foot bridge over the tracks there. SOUTH ST. crossing has been referred to often by Conn; oilmen and other city officials as one of the most dangerous in the city.

Just as dangerous is the Wit both rd. crossing, which would be corrected by the Manchester rd. grade elimination bridge when it is built. The Manchester rd. bridga will carry both Wilbeth anrj Manchester rd.

traffic over the tracks, then separate it again by means of a cioveTleaf interchange. Until this viaduct is complet ed. Ottaviano recommended that the railroads provide one watch' man at. the crossing around th Clock. The inspector counted fit trains in 12 hours at the cros'' ing also, some of them traveling, he said, at speeds ol 70 miles per hour.
