Criticized as ILLEGAL

Branding the rent-free occupancy
of the Curtis School, Potomac and
o streets NV, by the Hebrew
Academy OF Washington as illegal
and improper. the Georgetown Cit
liens Association last night charged
the Commissioners with exceeding
their authority In granting such
permission to a private organiza-
ton.
The Curtis School, constructed at
a cost of $4,000, has been turned
over to the academy for an indef-
mite period.
A letter from the association to
the Commissioners requesting an
explanation of this unauthorized
use of a public building" was ac-
knowledged by the board without
comment.
One member pointed out that
there are countless art students in
the area who would gladly pay for
studios in such a building"
A resolution was unanimously ap-
proved by the association asking
that the closing date of the Cor
coran School, Twenty-eighth and
M streets NV, be postponed from
February to June. The school is
to be closed because of shortage of
funds.
THE income received by renting
the Curtis School," pointed out T.
Stanton Kolb, president of the asso-
citation, might pay for the con-
tinued use of the Corcoran School"
A request was made to the Com
missioners for set of signs to sur
round the Georgetown area reading,
"Old Georgetown, 1751."
Mr.. Kolb was reelected president
of the association for his second
term. He is the first veteran OF

the following two official orders have
been issued, Notwithstanding the
possibility that doubts might be
raised about their legality:
First, a general order signed yes

Of STAFF, officially rescinded the Dis
tinguished Service Medal and the
Legion of Merit that had been
awarded Gen. Meyers. That does
not mean Gen. Meyers will be parad-
ed to a courtyard and stripped of
his medals, Mr.. Symington said, but
he will be liable to severe punish
ment if he is caught wearing them.
Second. an official order signed by
the Army finance officer and ap-
proved by higher authorities about
week ago. matically stopped the
retirement payment to Gen. Meyers.
The full payment has been $549
month but Gen. Meyers had been
contributing part of it to an insur-
ance plan, thus cutting the amount
to about $3.50, it was explained. Gen.
Meyers could contest this action in
court, they conceded, but they
voiced doubt he would.
"Court-martial charges are being
prepared against Meyers" Mr.. Sym
tngton went on. The time and
charges are being co-ordinated with
the plans of the Justice Department.
1t was felt inadvisable to initiate
any court-martial proceedings until
the Senate committee had fully de-
veloped its facts relating to Meyers"
He and Gen. Spaatz added. how
ever, that "it would be inconceivable
We wouldn't try him for conduct
unbecoming an officer" irrespective
of the outcome of any civil court
trials. The maximum penalty for
court-martial conviction on that
charge is dismissal from the service.

New York News SAYS
Denny Voted Illegally
To Deny FM Station
BY the Associated Press

Tie New York Daily News assert
ed yesterday that Charles r. Denny,
former chairman of the Federal
Communications Commission, "un-
lawfully" voted against the News
application for a new FIN radio sta
tion after he had accepted employ
ment with the National Broadcast
ing Co.
Mr. Denny left the commission
October 81 to become MICS vice
president and general counsel. The
association was announced by NBC
on October 10. The News applica-
ton was rejected on October 81.
Requesting reconsideration of the
rejection, the News said in a petit
ton filed with FEC yesterday that
NBC as the owner of standard and
FIN radio stations was directly in
tereSted" in grants for competing
stations, and that Mr.. Denny's vote
invalidated the commission action.
Quoting prohibitions in the Fed
eral Communications Act against
any commission member holding
employment or "any official rela-
tion to any person subject to any
provisions OF this act" the News
said:
Commissioner Denny was dis
qualified to vote on any matter COM
ing before the commission and,
more particularly, he was disquali-
fed to vote in this proceeding"
Six of the member commits
sion participated in the final de-
cision and the News application lost
on a.4-2 division.
The case involved the assignment
of five available FIN channels in the
New York k-Northeastern New Jersey
area, sought by II applicants. The
commission made tentative grants to
the News and four others in April,
but after further consideration is
sued the final October decision early

corporation of the Board Of Missions
and Church Extension of the Meth
