District Man Man. Freed
In Narcotics Case

A 26-year-old Washington man,
charged with illegal possession
of narcotics when Arlington po-
lice said they found a box of
marijuana in his car. was freed
yesterday in Arlington Circuit
Court, after the prosecutor asked
that the case be withdrawn.
Judge Walter r. Mccarthy or
dered the release of Francis Ace
Stinette, colored, of the TOO block
!of Lamont street N. W., at the
request of Assistant Common
monwealth's Attorney Edward O..
Poole. It was the second such
action in week in the County
Circuit Court.
Last Monday Judge Mccarthy
dismissed perjury charge
against Sam Lano, Washington
area pinball and slot machine
operator, when Commonwealth's
Attorney Denman r. Rucker said
ne did not have enough evidence
to convince a jury beyond a rea-
sonable doubt.
Yesterdays withdrawal of the
Stinette case came because Fed
eral narcotics agents. who were
key witnesses for the prosecution,
were tied up elsewhere and un-
able to testify. Mr.. Poole said.
Stinette was tried in February
on the same charge, but the jury
disagreed at that time.
Stinette was arrested on the
narcotics charge after his car hit
a telephone pole last October Is
on Lee boulevard at North Harri-
son street, Arlington. He was
hospitalized. and a police check
of the glove compartment of his
car uncovered a cigar box al
legedly containing some mari
juana.

Colonial Beach Party
OF Negroes Uncertain
BY ,he Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va. May 29.-
Martin A. Martin, local attorney.
said yesterday he was mot certain"
whether a party of Negro bathers
would go to Colonial Beach on
Memorial Day to use the Potomac
Rivers resorts public bathing
facilities.
If the party is not held then,
cit will take place as soon there
after as possible" Mr.. Martin told
Ia reporter.
He explained that his legal work
may prevent a trip to Colonial
Beach tomorrow. He added that
lplans for the party have not been
completed.
Mr.. Martin said the Negroes
want the town to set aside part Of
the beach for use by Negroes.
A suit pending in Federal court
contends the town discriminates
against Negro residents by not al
lowing them to use the public
beach there. In answer to the
suit, the town said it never had
barred Negroes.
On August S, 1850, party Of
Negroes. headed by Mr.. Martin,
swan at the beach without mu-
lnicipal interference. However.
several persons were injured in
fighting that broke out among
Negroes and whites.
Earlier, Mr.. Martin said he
would lead delegation from Rich.
|mond, Fredericksburg, Washington
and possibly New York to Colonial
Beach on Memorial Dae.

Irrespective of other scheduled

proceed with final plans for a
sewage treatment system.
City Manager L. j. Houston, jr.,
told the State Water Control
Board here May 10 that the city
didn't want to go any further than
the preliminary plans already ap-
proved. The city is building new
schools and also wants to convert
from manufactured to natural
gas, Mr.. Houston said.
Extensive revision of the plans
might be necessary if the city
undertook final sewage treatment
plans and then was unable to
build the plant Immediately. Mr..
Houston said. But the Water
Control Board said the plans

.zoning Board Studies
Maret School Movinq

Proposals to move the Maret
private school from 2118 Kalorama
road NV. to the historic Woodley
estate. 5000 Cathedral avenue
NV, are being considered by the
Board of Zoning Adjustment
today.
With petitions from residents
in the area and assurances that
the mansion house-one-ti time
home of the late Secretary of
War Henry L. Stimson-would not
be altered, school officials said
they would maintain the grounds
and house in present form.
John W. Laskey. one of those
appearing in behalf of the school
at a hearing yesterday, said it is
willing and anxious" to modify
any plans to the desires of neigh
borhood residents and the coming
board.
Maj. Gen. U. S. Grant III,
former head of National Capital
Parks and Planning Commission,
opposed the move, asserting it
would begin a breakdown" of the
property because the school would
have to make additions to the
house as enrolment grew.
On the death of Secretary Slim
son, the stately grounds and man
sion became the property of
Phillips Academy. Andover, Mass.
Since then. repeated efforts have
been made to sell it to foreign
country as an embassy. to the
Veterans Administration, to the
Catholic church as a cathedral
site and to the Mellon interests
for gallery sites.
The property is now restricted
to Residential A.
