Send the Kid to Comp
Send the Kid to Comp
Breod-Winner|s Heart Tires,
But YourH Can 7 axe Over

Until three weeks ago, Mr..
Turner got along. He pushed
his cab Is hours day. He was
able to keep his seven children
fed and clothed.
When his 8-year-old, Chuck,
was hit by a car last year. Mr..
Turner was able to pay hospital
and doctors bills. He pushed his
cab 18 hours day then.
Three weeks ago, the clinic
doctor told him to rest. Not
just take it easy. "Rest. Don't
move. Don't do anything" Mr..
Turner had been pushing his
heart too far. It was failing him.
But when you have to feed
nine mouths, you do something.
# you're a cab driver, you drive
your cab.
Mr.. Turner drives only about
six hours a day now. At night,
to avoid traffic. That nets him
$25 or $26 a week.
His five rooms over q second
hand store cost him $37.85 a
month rent. The rest must feed
nine persons and a dog. The dog
is not a luxury. He's needed to
fight the huge rats that live in
the building.
The kids are surprisingly healthy
and happy. Nine-year-old David
is golden glove boxing champ
in his weight class. With his
brothers, he plays baseball at a
earby neighborhood house.
Aside from that, there is no place
for the kids to play. They can't
play on, or near, the Streets-a
four-inch scar on Chuck's skull
has taught them that.
Four of the children have been
selected to go to camp this sum-
mer-if you contribute to The
Stars Camp Fund.
Four children away, well-fed,
playing under supervision in the
fresh air would be a wonderful
help to the Turner family-the
kids who 60, the kids who stay
and the parents.

.AU Site Called
Too Small for
.Sib|ey Hospital
I Planning Director
Backs Zone Ruling;
New Area Offered

A National Capital Planning
official today declared it would
be pretty crowded" on the
American University campus If
the new Sibley Hospital was
erected there.
This observation came from
John Nolen, jr., planning director
Of the commission, as he testified
in the U. S. District Court for
the District of Columbia.
The university and the hos
pital are trying to upset the
ruling of the District Zoning
Commission which prevented the
planned construction of the new
hospital on the campus. This
was done by changing its zoning
from Residential A to Residen-
t1al A restricted.
Calls Action Proper.
Mr.. Nolen said he felt the
action of the zoning commission
was proper. He said the char
acter of the residential neigh
borhoods adjoining the campus
called for this type of zoning.
He was called as a witness by
Oliver GaSch, assistant corpora
ton counsel. Residents of Spring
Valley and Wesley Heights have
joined forces with Mr.. Gasch to
oppose the hospital construc-
ton,
Mr.. Nolen testified he did not
consider the 7-acre tract on
which the hospital is to be
located as sufficient ground for
the type of institution it would
be. 1T sounds like it will be
pretty crowded to me-" he de-
clared.
New Site Offered.
Meanwhile, American Univer-
sity has offered to put the hos
pital somewhere on the campus
other than the site to which the
Spring Valley and Wesley
Heights homeowners object.
There appeared to be no in
terest in the compromise offer,
however.
E. F. Colladay. attorney for
the university. placed in the
record a resolution adopted by
the university trustees last Sat-
urday Offering to make such a
shift. The site the univer-
sity has decided to Sibley
Hospital (both institutions are
connected with the Methodist
church, is in the southwest cor
ner of the campus.
The university said it was
willing to make this compro-
mise, if tine whole campus were
rezoned Residential A.
Mr.. Gasch told Judge Alex
ander Holtzoff the offer was
circuitous way to make the
court a zoning commission.
James c. Wilkes. attorney for
the protesting homeowners, also
expressed little interest in the
offer.
Vote Revealed.
The session cleared up .
minor myStery-a breakdown on
the vote of the Zoning Commits
sion in rezoning American Uni.
verSity last January.
The commission refused to re-
veal it's vote and has kept it
secret since. Paul Cromelin, at
torney for Sibley Hospital, made
several efforts to get the lnfor-
nation from Mr.. GaSch.
Judge Holtzoff finally told Mr..
Gasch he would like to know.
Mr.. Gasch then revealed that
Brig. Gen. Louis w. Prentiss,
Engineer Commissioner; former
Commissioner F. Joseph Dono-
hue and Conrad Wirth, head of
the National Park Service, voted
for the rezoning. Commissioner
Renah F. Camalier and David
Lynn, Architect of the Capitol,
voted against reZoning.
