Notorious Red Holden
Dies in Illinois Prison
BY the Assoeioted Pre.s

JOLIET, ILL.,, Dec. 19.-Tom
(Red) Holden. 81. a wife killer,
train robber. prison breaker and
once listed as one of the FBI's
10 most wanted men, died yes
terday in Statewide Penitentiary
of a heart attack: He had been
in the prison hospital since Feb
ruary.
In l949 Holden killed his wife
Lillian; her brother, Raymond
Griffin, and her half brother,
John Archer. The shootings
broke up a drinking party in
their Chicago fiat.
Holden fed and later was
found working as a plasterer in
Beaverton. Greg. He was con-
vlcted of the Archer killing and
sentenced to Is years in State
vile.
His most pubilcized escapade
was during the $13O.0O0 robbery
Of Grand Trunk Railroad train
IN 1926. Holden and Francis L.
Keating boarded the train in
Chicago and escaped with a mail
sack containing $4,000. They
were arrested and sentenced to
Is years in Leavenworth.
They escaped from Leaven-
worth in 1880. Holden was re-
captured in 1882 and transferred
to Alcatraz. He was released in
1947.

powered by hundreds of millions
of dollars worth of American
arms. has brought hope to some
American officials that the Wet
Mimi can be crushed in a year.
Other Americans say it will still
take years at the present rate.
In any case a drive toward
military victory will bring the
French and the entire free world
up against the perennial ques-
ton: What will Red China do?"
At least 10000 Chinese Com
munistS are known to be serving
as technicians and advisers with
the Wet Mimi, although none
have been identified in action.
Peiping is responsible for much
of Hos strategy and virtually
all of his heavy supplies.
No one in the field processes
to believe that the Chinese Com
munists, with massed armies on
the Indo- China border, would
sit idly by during a Wet Mimi
collapse. any more than they did
in Korea.
French Opposition Grows.
Beneath this shadow, long
simmering French opposition to
their distant and hopeless war
is growing rapidly, spurred by
the example of the Korean truce.
The present Laniel government
is committed now to continuing
the fight. but no one can be sure
when it will change or be
changed.
American expenditures on the
Indo-China campaign, averaging
half-a-billion dollars annually
for the past few years. will soar
over ST billion this year.
But if Washington wants to
keep the French fighting, it will
have to consider this key ques-
ton: How far will this country
go IN increasing support, with
American troops if necessary, in
case the Chinese come into the
battle?"

There have been local i'm

ahaps have been driven to the
mountains in the Philippines,
and a new regime promises in
ternal reforms; Burma's govern
ment is winning its fight against
four instructions: the Malayan
Communists have been pushed
into the jungle.
But these subversive forces
can arise again if Peiping wills
it. Economic and political i'm
provements are only temporary,
If the Chinese Communists
march once more.
Military power alone will not
save Asia, but the free nations
cannot be saved unless Red
China, an imperialist nation in
her own right, is curbed or
thWarted.
Only Peace Is on Korean Line.
The only thing approaching a
guaranteed peace along the vast
and populous stretch of the
Asiatic continent is in Korea.
1t is underwritten by double
Maginot Line of hundreds of
underground Notifications along
both sides of the truce line.
Guns from these Notifications
command every valley and road
leading both north and south.
They are backed by massed troop
and aerial strength. Any attack
ing army would suffer terrific
losses.
1t is difficult to believe that
either side - or even South
Korea S stubborn President Syng-
man would risk the cost
of an attack.
Yet, even in Korea, no one
knows how long peace will last,

Cambridge. 277 U. s. 1873, 1873.
There have been a number Of
cases in this district in which
a zoning order has been set
aside as invalid. For example,
in Wolpe v Poretsky, 81 u. S.
App. D. c. 81, the courts upset
an order Of the commission
zoning certain vacant property
in such a way as to prevent it's
owner from building an apart
ment house thereon.
We must now apply these
principles to the facts Of the
case at bar. It should be OBJ
served at this juncture that
most zoning orders are made
on the application Of an owner
who desires a change in the
zoning Of his property In the
instant case the situation is
somewhat unusual. Here, the
change was made at the behest
Of adjoining property owners.
The right to erect q hospital
on the campus of the American
University existed. ever since
the site was acquired, and ever
since 1920 when the original
Zoning was established. The
objecting land owners came on
the scene subsequently and
may be said to have acquired
their. property cum onere,

3-to-2 Vote Rezoned
University Compus

AS a result of the hearing.
the Zoning Commission. by q
vote of three to two. issued an
order changing the entire
campus of The American Uni
versity from residential "a"
area to residential "A restrict
ed" area. No findings were
made. no astatement Of rea-
sons was issued. The result of
this shift in coming was that
a hospital may not be built
on The American University
campus. If the order stands,
the proposed arrangement be-
tween The American Univer-
sity. Sibley Hospital, and the
School Of Nursing cannot be
carried out. It must be en-
phatically noted that although
the testimony given at the
hearing before the commission
and at the trial of this case
was directed largely to the

morally, II not legally. The
university was deprived Of It's
rights by the re-zoning order
here under scrutiny. The uni
verSity is not asking for an
additional privilege which it
did not previously have. as is
so often the case in zoning
proceedings. but is protesting
against being deprived of a
right which it had had for a
great many years and on which
it h a d acted and relied.
Finally. although the. testi-
mony. as stated above, was
directed largely to one eight
acre plot at the Southerly tip
Of the campus, the re-zoning
order covers the entire 70-acre
tract.
In analyzing the evidence at
the trial it must be assumed
that portions of the campus
now vacant will not perma-
nently remain in that condi-,
ton, but that additional
buildings will be erected from
time to time. For example, q
dormitory or a garage for stu
dents or members of the facul-
ty might be constructed on the
site to which it is now proposed
to move Sibley Hospital, if the
rezoning order stands. The
projected hospital must not
be envisaged as an old-fash-
ioned, red-brick edifice of
institutional aspect and for
bidding mien. The plans in
troduced in evidence call for
group Of modern, light-col-
ored structures, with plenty of
window space, built on a plot
artificially Handicapped and ter
raced. and surrounded by a
grove of trees partially ohscur-
ing the buildings from view.
One Of the objections to the
construction Of the hospital is
that it would introduce into a
quiet residential region noises
not now existing. It must be
assumed. however, that a
dormitory or a garage would
likewise bring loud sounds in
its wake On the other hand,
modern hospitals endeavor to
establish "qulet zones" for the
welfare of the patients.
1t is also urged that there
would be a dangerous increase
of traffic to a point of satura-
ton. The evidence tends to
show that traffic on Nebraska
avenue is heavy during rush
hours. At other times the

tricts known as Wesley Heights
and Spring Valley, which have
been described above. The new
hospital would in fact be situ-
ated almost directly across
the street from several Of the
homes, although there would
be a considerable setback.
A number of property own
ers in that area emphatically
objected to the proposed new
hospital as a neighbor and
filed a petition with the Zon-
ing Commission to rezone
The American University cam
pus, in order to prevent the
erection Of such an institution.
The Zoning Commission held
q hearing, as required by
statute. Unfortunately, the
atmosphere of the proceeding
was not conducive to calm de-
liberation. Several organized
busloads of angry property
owners filled the hearing room.
and frequently interrupted
witnesses and counsel by boo
ing and kissing. or applauding.
The objections advanced
against the construction Of the
new hospital were that it
would result in a serious inva-
sion of privacy. create traffic
congestion, generate noises,
and impair property values.
Although possible impairment
Of property values seemed to.
be the main argument, very
little actual evidence on the
subject was produced. The teS-.
timony consisted chiefly Of.
emotional outbursts on the.
part Of individual homeowners.
to the general effect that they
had been informed by real
estate experts that If the
hospital were erected, the value
Of their property would de-
crease anywhere from 35 to so
per cent. Naturally such as
sertions are not evidence. One
real estate expert was called,
who testified that in his opin-
ion the aggregate value of the
surrounding districts would go
down by an amount Of over
$2.5 million or So million. He
did not explain how he arrived
at that lump sum or on what
he based his opinion.
1t is well established that ad-
ministrative agencies are not
required to apply the rules Of
law governing admissibility of
evidence. These rules are bind
ing only on judicial tribunals.
Nevertheless, the probative
weight of evidence is the same,
irrespective of where the evil
dence is introduced, and must
be tested by the same stand

a court or to an administrative
body,

Background Given
On Zoninq Commission

In 1920 the zoning system
was introduced in the District
of Columbia, and a Zoning
Commission, composed of five
members, was created to ad-
minister the zoning statute
Cd. C. Code. Title S, Sections
AZ, ct seq.). The commits
sion subdivided the city into
districts Of various types. The
American University campus
and the surrounding area were
classified as "a" residential.
The regulations provided that
In such a district there could
be erected not only private
dwellings and apartment
houses, but also such structures
as hotels. hospitals, sanitari-
ums, clinics, churches, clubs,
and the like.
With the expansion Of the
city, beginning In the 1920s,
The American University cam
pus gradually became sur
rounded by homes. A small
commercial district also grew
up along Massachusetts ave-
nue., a short distance west Of
the campus. Immediately ad-
jacent to the campus on the
south side. two beautiful COM
munitieS composed of single
family detached residences of
an expensive kind developed
by degrees. These two sections
are known as Wesley Heights
and Spring Valley. In build
ing these houses, very little at
tempt was made to level the
ground. The original contours
of the rolling terrain were
maintained. and many of the
old trees were preserved. In
stead Of being cut on q grid
iron pattern. as is true of most
Of the city, the streets were laid
out to follow the contour Of
the land. many of them being
dead-end streets and forming
a cul-de-sac. The result is that
there is little vehicular traffic
on most of the streets of this
section, with the exception Of
a large amount of through
movement on Nebraska avenue

ton Of this case. Zoning is an
exercise Of q legislative power.
and not Of an executive or ad-
ministrative authority. The
commission. acting by delega-
tion from Congress, performs
a legislative function. The ap-
plicable statute sets forth the
principles on which the zoning
should be made and the adj
ministratiYe body carries out
the details. In this respect such
authority is analogous to the
rule-making power, frequently
conferred on executive depart
ments and administrative
agencies, which is also a dele
CATION of legislative authority.
It necessarily follows that
an action to set aside a zon-
ing order does not involve q
trial de novo or an appeal on
the merits. The court may
not substitute itself for the
commission. The suit does
not even contemplate a ju-
dicial review Of administrative
action to determine whether
there was a deviation from
any statutory requirement or
limitation and whether the
findings Of fact are sustained
by substantial evidence. Paren-
thetically it may be remarked
that there are no findings Of
fact to review. The only mat
ter that the court may con-
slider is whether the zoning
order is unconstitutional, as
constituting a taking of prop
erty without due process Of
law. In view of these circum-
stances. the. review by the
courts is not limited to the
record made before the. COM
mission, bit evidence on the
constitutional issue may be in
troduced, as is done, for ex-
ample, in rate cases. This
course was pursued at the trial
Of this action.
The state, in the interests
Of society as q whole, may
place reasonable restrictions
on the use Of private property
by its owners. Consequently
zoning Is constitutional If it
bears a rational relation to
public safety. health, or
morals, or the general well
fare. Village of Euclid VS..

trafic Is comparatively liKht.
Judging by the number Of We
hicles entering and leaving the
Georgetown Hospital. which Is
of a comparable size, and
which Is also located in q resi-
Dental area, the added traf.
fic burden would amount to
about 6 or 7 per cent. A
part Of this increase, how
ever, would be created during
periods other than rush hours.
It is inconceivable that this
additional amount Of traf1ic
cannot be absorbed without
difficulty. especially with prop
er use Of police officers and
the installation Of control

as well as elsewhere, neces-
sarily leads to some in
crease of traffic. Moreover,
many of the objections on
this score were based on a
misunderstanding, as some of
the property owners appar-
emily thought that entrances
to the hospital site would be
cut through from University
avenue. which is now q very
quiet and almost deserted
thoroughfare. somewhat like .

however, that the hospital
plans call only for an access
road from lockwood parkway,
near its junction with Nebras-
ka avenue. leaving University
avenue undisturbed, The uni-
versity and hospital authors
ties are willing to enter into
a covenant running with the
land for the benefit of owners
of adjacent property. not to
cut any other entrance to the
hospital tract for q period Of
20 years. Moreover. 1t is pro-
posed to create adequate park
ing spaces on the hospital
grounds. In order that 1t may.
