D. {. Weighs Plan
To Convert GaIIinger
For Some Addicts

Commissioner Renah F. CANA
lier last night pointed out that,
while the Commissioners have
not given up the idea of send
ing drug addicts to Federal in
stitutions, the idea of converting
part of Gallinger Hospital for
that purpose is under study
He gave his viewpoint during
the telecast of ''Your Commits
sioners' Report over WMAL-TV,
The Star television station.
Commissioner Camalier said he
has visited Gallinger to deter
mine how the second floor of the
central wing could be converted
to house addicts.
He said it was decided that
$45, 900 could provide beds and
security measures for a maxi
mum of 16 addicts. To do this.
Mr.. Camalier explained. the
Commissioners would not need an
extra Congressional appropria-
tion The Gallinger site would

suit the purpose might be found
at Glenn Dale Sanitarium or at

have been made, he reported. A
reporter brought up the light
sentences being given to Offend
erS in such places. The police
chief said a judge declared that.
because the law is new. he start
ed off by imposing small fines
but later will be more severe.
The number of armed rob-
berries in the District currently
is decreasing, Chief Murray as
serted. He attributed this to
sitter sentences for such crimes
and to the fact that this is an
"off season" for robberies.
More Recruits Apply.
Chief Murray said more app1i-
cations for employment as Dis
trict policemen have been coming
in since the police recently won
a pay raise.
In response to another ques-
ton, which pertained to the Bal
timore Plan for slum clearance,
it was brought out that about
100000 District residents do not

An Air Force colonel with sea

With the exception of the late
Gen. George S. Patton, who
once sailed a schooner to Homo

military officer in modern times
but the bearded Col. D. F. Henry
ever has crossed an ocean in a
comparatively small craft. And
Col. Henry may have been the
first ever to have interpreted the

clause as permitting travel by

Memorial Group Has
Two Other Strong
Contenders for Site

Arlington County's 27-acre Me-
vlus tract. which probably has
been sought for more uses than
any parcel of land in the WASH
ington area, is once more on the
firing line.
The latest overture is being
made by the Marine Corps War
Memorial Foundation. The Ma
rine group sees the site, COM
nianding an unmatchable view
over the Potomac. in line with
the Mall, as the perfect location
for its $500.00O bronze statue
memoralizing the historic Mount
Suribachi f1ag-raising on Two
Jima.
Other Uses Urged.
At the same time, other pro-
posals which might well deter
mine the tracts eventual use
once and for all, include:
/. A strongly supported move
on Capitol Hill to make the land
available for a national monu-
ment symbolizing "the ideals of
a democracy as embodied in the
five freedoms (of) the Bill
Of Rights"
2. A site for the memorial
tower and carlton to be pre-
sented to the United States as
a friendship gesture by The
Netherlands.
The tract, located on high
ground near the river, lies be-
tween Memorial and Key Bridges
adjoining the Arlington National
Cemetery. 1t is bounded by Ar
lington Ridge road and Arling-
ton boulevard.
Acquired by the Federal Gov
ernment as the now-abandoned
site for a veterans hospital the
tract long was sought by real
estate interests. 1t also has been
proposed as an extension of the
cemetery. as a county park and
as q memorial to wartime chap
lains. 1t was turned over to the
Interior Department six months
ago as an addition to the George
Washington Memorial Parkway
area. The parkway area runs
between the river and the tract.
Approval Sought.
Maj. Gen. Merritt A. Edison,
q. S. M. c., retired, asked the
National Capital Planning Com
mission. in closed session last
week. to approve the site for the
Two Jima memorial.
The Marines proposal has
strong backing from the Fine
Arts Commission.
The planning commission took
the request under consideration.

Charge in
Camp BusDeath
Montgomery Aides,
See No Violation !
In Use Of Vehicle
By Hermon r, Schoden

Prosecuting attorneys have
washed their hands of any effort
to fix full responsibility in a fatal
day-camp bus accident because
of inadequacies in the Maryland
motor vehicles law. r.
The bus driver, 17-year-old
William S. Stanley, jr., will APP
pear in Rockville Juvenile Court
tomorrow for a manslaughter
hearing.
But it appears the State will
never have an official answer to
the question of whether a IT.
year-old boy properly was driv-
ing a vehicle carrying 10 chill
dren, or whether the vehicle, a
converted panel truck, should
have been used in that capacity.
Attorney Quits Case.
Walter w. Dawson, Mont
gonlery County States Attorney,
put it bluntly:
Il am through with the case
completely. can find noS legal
grounds for any charge against
the boy as to his being too young
to drive the vehicle.
Under the law, this vehicle
was not for hire, or a common
carrier. I know of no grounds
under the present motor vehicle
law for filing any charges
against the camp operator. The
transportation provided the chill
dren simply was an adjunct to
the camp"
There is. a law requiring driv-
ers of school buses or common
carriers to be 18 years old, and
law calling for inspection of
school buses. But there is none
covering vehicles carrying less
than 10 passengers hired by
hidden" charges in tuition or
camp fees.
A growing number of citizens
In nearby Maryland, Virginia
and the District believe chauf-
feur's licenses and inspection
should be required for vehicles
carrying fewer than. 10 paSsen-
gers if transportation is fur
nished by the school or camp.
Attorneys Agree.
In agreement is another Mont
gomery prosecutor, Assistant
States Attorney J. Hodge Smith.
Referring to the crash on
Rockville pike July 81 in which
an 8-year-old boy was fatally
hurt and nine other children
injured, Mr.. Smith said:
There is no question the law
is inadequate to cover such a
situation. Operators of such ve-
hicles obviously should be re-
quired to have a cf1auffeur'a'
license @4ff@ aa-
Mr.. Smith said his recommen-
dation would be a clause requir-
ing chauffeur's licenses and
inspection for vehicles transports
ing six or more persons.
mo person under 18 should
be permitted to drive such a
vehicle" he added.

In the laws, authorities of the
District, Maryland and Virginia

currence of the July tragedy

clear-cut tackles in addition to
numerous assists. Next were
Junior Cunningham and Jim
Finley with five each, while
Pug Schockling, Dayle Miller
and Ronnie Reed each halted the
ball carrier three times. Other
linemen piled up the play reg
ularly to permit the Jay-Hawks
an average of only 19 yards per
quarter.
The Redskins powered their
way to touchdown on the open
ing series of play, driving 85
yards to pay dirt as Walton and
Reed alternated the ball-carry-
ing. Only one pass, from Walton
to Frederickson for IL yards, was
used during this drive.
Walton racked up three con-
secutive first downs on the
first three plays of the game
to get Caldwell started right.
But it was Reed who rammed
the touchdown over from the
One-yard line to give the Red
skins 60 lead. Walton tried
to buck over for the point but
was thrown back.
Following Dresden punt,
Caldwell surged downfield 69
yards to Dresden's one-foot line
as Walton picked up the long
gains and Reed the short ones.
But the first of Caldwell's 15-
yard penalties prevented a score
as the Jay-Hawks took over on
their own eight.
Early in the second period
Dresden went back into punt
formation deep in their own ter
ritory, but when the pass from
center was fumbled, Pug Schock-
ling broke through and spilled
the would-be punter on the 20
where Caldwell took over.
After the Redskins were
penalized five yards to the 25,
Walton picked up three to the
%, then on fourth down Wal
ton hit Ronald Ralph in the
end zone with a 22-yard pass
for CaldwlPs second score
making it 12-O. Reeds attempt
ed plunge for point failed.
Late in the second quarter,
Caldwell halted Dresden drive
on the Redskin 80 and i'm
mediately marched to another
tally as the Redskin line opened
up some gaping holes in Dres-
denis forward wall.
Caldwell covered 81 yards
on seven plays as Joe Freder-
ickson scOOted 25 yards on a
pitch-back to spark the drive.
With a first down on the Jay
Hawk "a, Ralph dropped Wal
