emergency which requires immediate
congressional attention. Mr.. Cam

Repeated Pleas Recalled.
Mr.. Camalier and Mrs. Fuller both
pointed out that since 1914, when the
board was appointed, 1t has re-

tons in the psychopathic ward.
In 1914 report, MIR. Camalier
pointed out, the board declared that
conditions in the psychopathic divi-
sion "are not only disgraceful to the
District of Columbia but also posi-
lively dangerous to the staff, to the
public and to the patients them
selves"
In a January, 1947, report. Mr..
Camalier added, the board again
went into detailed criticism of the
psychopathic division, pointing to
the lack of segregation of various
types of patients, the lack of per-
sonnel and the inadequate facilities.
Mr.. Camalier said that none of

Business Zone al
Temple Heights

Five owners OF property on the
west side of Connecticut avenue, be-
tween Florida avenue and Bancroft
place NV, are asking District Court
to force the District Zoning Com
to reclassify their land from
residential to commercial.
In a suit filed late yesterday, the
property owners asserted they are
surrounded on three sides by COM
mercial property, that the neighbor-
hood is now obviously commercial,
and that refusal to let them put up
commercial buildings on their land
is causing them an unfair loss OF
money.
The property owners also are ask
ing the court to make the building
inspector issue licenses to them for
future commercial buildings on the
block.
Boundary Policy Cited.
The suit quoted the long-standlng
policy of the Zoning Commission
of not allowing commercial build
ing north of Florida avenue along
that section of Connecticut avenue
This was broken for the first time
in July, 1916, it was explained. when
the commission reclassif1ed the
property on the east side of Con-
necticut avenue, above Florida ave-
nue., for the proposed building Of
large apartment hotel and shop
ping center on the old Temple
Heights site.
In the light of this reclassiflca-
ticn the property owners on the
west side of Connecticut avenue
asked the Zoning Commission to re-
classify their property. The COM
mission refused last July on thu
ground the proposed commercial
building on the other side OF th'
street had not taken place and tha
property owners on the west sid'
had shown no need for CONNER
cial classification.
Traffic and Noise Cited.
Owners of the property on tn
west said yesterday, however, tha
no reason exists any longer for at
tempting to maintain the residential
quality of their land.
Because of the heavy vehtcula
traffic on Connecticut avenue ant
the concomitant noise, grinding o
gears and scraping of tires, effort
to maintain the residential flavor o
the property are fruitless," the sui
declared. The thoroughfares hav
required widening several times t.
accommodate the flow of traffic
making necessary the removal o
parking areas, trees and steps, an
approaches were permanently re
moved, thus depriving the propertie
of residential attributes"

Oil Executive, Flyer
Given Prison Terms
In Machine Gun Theft
By the Associoted Press

AUGUSTA, Ga, Dec. 3.-A bus1-
ness executive and flyer were given
Federal prison sentences here yes
terday in connection with the theft
of 81 Navy machine guns, which
the prosecution suggested may have
figured in a plot to overthrow the
provisional government of Venezuela.
Karl j. Eisenhardt, SO, OF Ellicott
City, Md, head of large Eastern
oil transportation firm, was convicted
in Federal Court on two counts OF
a theft indictment. He was SEN
fenced to two years and two days In
a Federal penitentiary.
A conspiracy conviction was re-
turned against Edward BroWder, jr.,
80, Amarillo, Tex. BroWder, who
saw wartime service with the Royal
Canadian Air Force, was given a
year and a day in prison.
Both filed notice of an appeal and
Judge Frank M. Scat1ett set their
appeal bonds at $4,000 each.
Eisenhardt and Browder testified
that the guns were purchased at
nearby Bush Field with $425 of
Dominican Republic funds to help
throw back a threatened Commun-
ist-sponsored revolt which had head
quarters in Cuba.
The Government presented test1-
mony that Eisenhardt may have
been working with others to unseat
Romulo Betancourt as Provisional
President of Venezuela. A statement
introduced by the FBI and attribut-
ed to Browder said he understood
this was true.
Eisenhardt was in Venezuela for
two years during the war as a repre-
sentative of the United States Board
of Economic warfare.
j. Meredith Russell, "A, Baltimore
a former Air Force fight officer, ad-
mitted he helped truck the weapons
to Eisenhardt's home, but was ac-
Quilted of the theft charges. Also
acquitted was Manuel L. Fuego, 3d.

connection with the case was as
