New Problem Up:
HeHports for
D. c. Travellers

Washington soon may have to
build a thing called a heliport.
Like many another large
American community, the city
may have use for it soon, as
commercial helicopter travel in
creaSeS.
This was indicated yesterday
by B. L. Whelan, general man
ager of Sikorsky Aircraft Divi-
sion, United Aircraft Corp. one
of the principal builders of
helicopterS. He addressed a
luncheon meeting of the Avia-
ton Writers Association in the
National Press Club.
A heliport may be anything
from a fence-inclosed grass en-
closure on the ground to an
elaborate paved area on top of a
hotel or Office building.
He suggested that community
planners start thinking about
providing heliportS.
Mr.. Whelan is chairman of
the Helicopter Council of the
Aircraft Industries Association.

The Commissioners directed

of giving the transcripts top

Barron Amphitheater.
The veterans organization
said the segregation practices

It was revealed this week that
Mr.. Mckay has asked the Recre-
alton Board to act as arbitrator
in any dispute, if the proposal
to use the arena commercially
goes through. Residents in the
area have protested that COM
mercial use would be detrimental

Third Safe Theft in Week
Nets Thieves $1,000

Police. plagued by a recent up
surge in safe robberies, had an
other on their hands today.
Thieves battered down an iron
door during the night at Georges
Radio & Television Co., I'LL H
street NE, and carted away a
safe containing $1,000 in cash
and checks.
The safe, weighing about $50
pounds. was taken from a wooden
compartment at the center of
the store. The thieves also took
a suit from the mems wash
room.
Harold Helschien, 80, of 1908
Finch street. Silver Spring, Md,
the manager, discovered the loss
when he opened the store at
8:45 am. today.
This was the third safe rob-
berry within the past week. In
a drive late last year, police
rounded up a group of thugs
accused of safecracking. AS a
result they said there had been
a notable decrease in safecrack-
ings until recently.

Probationary Drivers
To Be Excluded From
Traffic Point System

A revision in the point system
for traffic violations to remove
probationary permit holders
from the program will be made
before it goes into effect April /.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp, after a meeting with
the Commissioners today, said
the revision will be made at the
Commissioners request.
Points assessed for violations,
under the present plan, remain
on the District motorists record
for three years. at the end of
which the points assessed during
the first year are removed.
Probationary permits, issued
when drivers reapply after hav-
ing their regular permits re-
voked, are effective for three
years. The Commissioners point
ed out that this had the same
effect as the point system. in
that the probationary permit
could be revoked for violations.
Mr.. Keneipp said the point
system and the probationary
permit system would be separate
under the revised plan.

Maryland Draft Call

BALTIMORE, Mar. H.
Maryland will have to dip into
the ranks of 19-year-olds to
meet its May draft quota, Sc
lective Service Director Henry
c. Stanwood said today.
An estimated 900 Maryland
draftees will be called up in
May. he said.
The State draft director said
he did not know how many 49,
year-olds would be called to
meet the May quota, but added
that it probably will be a large
number" The States pool of
draft eligibles 20 years of age
and older is almost exhausted.
The 19-year-olds are being ex-
amined in preparation for the
May call, Mr.. Stanwood said.
The April quota of 869 men can
be met from the 20-year old
class.
Maryland is one of the last
States to start calling 19-year-
olds. Many States have been
calling youths under 20 since
the first of the year.

Morse Forces
Senate to Listen
But Not to Him

Senator Morse, Independent.

Senate to listen to the reading
of a full account of its proceed
ingS on Monday.
It was in retaliation for the
Republican leadership's insist
ence on taking up then a bill
Senator Morse wanted held up
for further study.
This was a bill to correct a
mistake made by Congress last
year which would have forced the
demotion of $500 junior grade
officers by April 30.
Senator Morse, who bolted the
Republican Party in the last
election, blocked a routine re-
quest for its approval by
unanimous consent. But subse-
quently, Majority Leader Taft of
Ohio had it placed on the regular
calendar and it was passed by
a voice vote.
Yesterday, Senator Taft opened
the Senate by making the usual
request for unanimous consent
to dispense with the reading of
the journal of the preceding
session. Senator Morse objected.
So the clerk had to read
for 26 minutes.

tains for promotion Of rear adj
miral after receiving a Navy
promise not to retire Capt. H.
G. Rickover.
Secretary of the Navy Ander-
son had written that the serv-
ices atomic expert would be re-
tanned for another year instead
of being retired June 80 as
planned and that another selec-
ton board would be asked to con-
slider him again for promotion.
Two selection boards have
failed to recommend the captain
for promotion and he thereby
faced automatic retirement. The
committee had been holding up
action on the 80 other captains
pending word from the Navy De-
partment."

Police Catch Youth at HOSPITAL
After Chase Across Rooftops

A f1eet-footed IS - year old
youth last night temporarily
eluded police despite a six-block
chase, a gunshot wound and a
two-story Jump from a rooftop.
But he was taken into custody
with no trouble at all As min
uteS later.
The race between the colored
youth and a Second Precinct
policeman began about 9 pm.
after Pvts. Elroy A. Short and
Luther Miller of the Second Pre-
cinct. noticed a paper bag and
a suitcase unattended in a door,
way in the 1000 block of Seventh
street NV.
The policemen looked in the
bag and found candy, chewing
gum and other miscellaneous
items. including several pads of
matches from Louis Lunch in
the 100 block of Seventh street,
where a burglary had been re-
ported.
Youth Claimed Property.
While they we're looking over
the bags contents, "a youth ar
rived and claimed the property.
They had asked him only a few
questions when he suddenly
darted away.
Pvt. Short took up the chase.
The boy fled south on Seventh
street, west on @ street, ducked
into an alley paralleling Seventh
street and ran to Rhode Island
avenue, where he went west to
Eighth street and north to r
street.
All this time, Pvt. Short was
tearing along behind him. The
policeman spotted him going in
to a vacant house under repair
at BIT r street.
Pvt. Short said he then pulled
his revolver and followed the
youth into the house. The
policeman found nothing on the
first floor and climbed to the
second. There he herad a noise
outside and ran to the window.
He spotted his quarry Chamber
ing up the scaffolding around
the house.
Treated at Hospital.
The policeman reported that
he shouted an order to halt, but
the boy kept going up the scat
fold. Pvt. Short said he fired
one shot.
The boy disappeared on the
roof and Pvt. Short climoed out
on the scaffold to follow him.
The policeman got to the roof
just in time to see the boy Jump
from another roof four houses
away.
Forty-five minutes later, po-
lice were called by Freedmen's
Hospital with a report of a bull
let wound case. When they
reached the hospital. they found
a 15-year-old with q bullet
wound in his hand.

he was the one Pvt. Short chased
and shot. He was turned over

Debut of Cherry Blossoms Stays Secret

To the long. long list of those
who want to know exactly when
the cherry blossoms are going to
bloom, add the name of George
Harding.
Mr.. Harding is chief of horti-
culture for National Capital
Parks and, as such, is the chief
caretaker and principal worrier
about the famed Tidal Basin
trees.
About this time of the year
(and by coincidence, Mr.. Hard
ing is off to the South hunting
for azeala bargains), the flood of
blossom queries reaches its peak.
BY mail and by telephone from
mere acquaintance and from
those who see a hidden dollar
sign in every blossom come the
requests for the ungarbled word.
Come now, George. old
friend" a composite query will
go, you're holding out on me.
You know when they'll bloom. :"
Weary and ear-bent, the keep
er of the blossoms has the same
answer for all. He doesn't know.
100 New Trees Going in.
This years Tidal Basin pro-
duction will be increased, just
about on a ratio with the ex-
panding curiosity of the public.
One hundred new trees. all about
5 years old, are being placed
around the basin and in the area
from the Tidal Basin bridge to
Fifteenth street and Maine
avenue.
About 60 of them are replace
ments.
BY blossom time, it will mean
that Mr.. Harding's worries are
about 800-fold.
Undoubtedly, they're worth
it," the 49-year-old horticulturist
muses., "but they're more trouble
than any other one phase of our
parks operation"
Take it chronologically, be-
cause the trouble begins with the
planting.
In the first place. the original
trees from Japan didn't even
belong in this particular climate
and certainly weren't intended
to thrive in the soil in which
they were planted. That they've
been nursed through the tran
sition is beautifully obvious.
Roots Flee Water.
In the mountainous areas of
Japan, they grow to five times
the size of the Tidal Basin trees.
Here they are planted in made
land, pumped from the river
bottom. Their root structure
has pancaked over the years to
avoid tidal water, which seeps
into the ground up to within
Is inches of the surface.
Sometimes" Mr.. Harding ex-
planned, 1--WE have to wait until
the tide goes out in order to
plant them"
Because of the shallow root
structure, the trees are more
susceptible to scale insects and
to root rot. It lowers their re-
sistance, and they're more tenn
peramental than any tree in any
park" he says.
Logically enough, Japanese
beetles love 'em. That-and the
