Now Live Within
II Miles Of CopitoI

The District Commissioners
today extended from IL to II
miles the radius from the Capt.
toll Building in which city police
and f1remen may live.
The action was a compromise
on a request for a 20-mile radius
from the Policemen's Association
Iof the District. Deputy Chief
Clarence H. Lutz said the Dis
trict today had 281 vacancies in
its authorized strength of $500
policemen.
He argued that it would be
easier to recruit men if they
could live far enough from the
District to afford to buy their
own homes.
The decision on II miles came
after the Commissioners had as
sured themselves the area would
include Rockville, Md. Chief
Lutz said many requests from
men who live in that area had
been received by the Police De-
partment.
Doctor Issues Warning
The major warning against
the change came from DR.. John
A. Reed, chairman of the Board
of Police and Fire Surgeons. He
said the increase in area might
make it necessary to increase
the boards staff of physicians,
who must provide home treat
ment for members of the two
departments.
Director Schuyler Lowe of the
Department of General Admin
istration suggested adoption of
the 17-mile compromise, since
the Commissioners could not
later reduce the area if difficult
ties were encountered.
Assistant Engineer Commits
sioner Robert E. Mathe pointed
out that the 17-mile radius would
double the area which has been
in effect since 1886, while 20
mile radius would triple it.
405 Live in d. C.
Fire Chief Willard H. Sutton
said that of 1853 men in his
department SIT live in Mary
land, l31 live in Virginia and
only 405 live in the District.
Commissioner David B. Kar-
rick pointed out that there are
a "lot of good bargains" in
homes in the Rockville area and
observed, Il don't like to exclude
anybody from a chance to buy
"a home"

Granted
In Murder Case

The efforts of Everett D,
Green to escape the electric
chair entered new phase today
with the agreement Of the Su-
preme Court to hear the unusual
case.
Green was convicted in May,
1855, of f1rst-degree murder in
the death of Miss Betty Brown,
SO, in the bedroom of the home
at Ills Massachusetts, avenue
N w.. where the accused man
roomed.
The 66-year-old former room
ing house operator was found in
the bathroom, suffering from
icepick wounds. Green said he
had been attacked by a man
Adding to the mystery the house
also was afire.
Green said he had found Miss
Brown dead the night before
May rs, 1953-but the Govern.
ment argued she had died from 8
fire set by the accused.
Two Trials Conducted
There were two trials. In the
first Green was found guilty Of
second-degree murder and arson
was sentenced to from 5 to &c
years.
With his court-appointed at
torneys, George Rublee III
Charles E. Ford and George Blow
the convicted man appealed the
manslaughter verdict. The con-
tention was that he should have
been convicted either of flrst-de-
gree murder or found innocent
/ A new trial was ordered by the
United States Court of Appeals,
which noted Green was "mani-
lfestly taking a desperate chance. >
The reference was to the posi-
Ibility Of a mandatory death SEN
Itence should he lose a retrial.
Language Disputed
This language is disputed by
|; the defense attorneys. who con-
!. tend rather than taking a "des-
. perate chance" Green merely
was taking an appeal from what
was considered an unjust verdict
They said the second trial put
Green in double jeopardy.
When Green was convicted OF
first-degree murder in the second
. trial. and sentenced to die No
vember 4. the attorneys started
new appeals which resulted in
sustenance of the conviction.
Then came the appeal to the
highest court and the latest in q
, lengthy effort to save the con-
ldemned man.

venture Of the Redevelopment La
|munity Services, the Districts
Community Chest and planning
council.
Already informally approved
by the RIA board of directors,
the project last night was given
formal approval by the UCS
board of trustees at its quarterly
meeting.
1t is named, for the time being,
the Urban Renewal Demonstra-
ton Project. RIA will arrange
for most of the funds to finance
it and will contract with UCS to
set it up.
The essence Of the plan is a
many functioned Southwest
Center, whose staff would seek
out the human problems of per-
sons in the project area; at
tempt to solve them by calling
on all available agencies and
treatment centers or failing that,
that by providing needed help
directly; assist relocated fam
lilies in finding new homes;
watch over them to assist in
their adjustment to- their new
neighborhood: and-at the end
of the three years-make a de-
tailed report on how the expert
ment has worked.
Trained Workers
James j. Nolan. chairman of
the UCS urban renewal commit
tee, last night called the plan
unique, far-reaching and ur-
gently needed" It's object, he
said, is to attack the chronic
social problems of Stun families
before they are moved out of
the renewal area, to insure that
I'VE will not simply be moving
our slumS from one part of the
city to another"
According to the plan, q
Southwest Center would be sci
up in the middle of the renewal
area. Stated by its own trained
workers and using the regular
services of workers in other
social agencies, the center woulC
be place where people of the
area could turn for help of al.
most any kind dealing with
health, welfare and recreation,
according to ISadore Seeman
executive director of UCS.
Most Of the money woulc

The
Rambler
A Generous Giver
Is EternuIIy Rich
By JACK JONAS


That Cecil B. DeMille quote
that the fellows at United
Givers Fund here have been
arguing about - what you
give you can take with you;
what you keep, you leave be-
hind"-still Is a bone of con-
tention.
Readers have sent in similar
quotes, and Catherine Sher-
wood, of 2141 / street NV,
comes closest. Hers is:
what you give you keep;
"What you keep you lose;
"And when you die
"You take with you
"Only that which you
"Have given away"
She found it on a card in
her fathers wallet after he
died, but the source wasn't
given. Jim Wilfong reports the
epitaph of Edward Courtenay,
Earl of Devon, who died in
1419, reads: what we gave,
we have; What we spent, we
had; What we left, we lost. I"
A Chevy Chase reader says
Jean Jacques Rousseau wrote
something like this: When a
man dies, all that he clutches
in his hands is what he has
given away in his lifetime, !"
although he admits that quote
may not be verbatim.
Mrs. Benson W. Hough of
1910 South Oakcrest road,
Arlington, Va, sends this one
along: What I spent I had;
What I saved I lost; What I
gave away I shah have al
ways" She doesn't give the
source, either.
A caller says he remembers
one about fleas-"What we
couldn't catch, we kept, and
what we caught, we threw
away" He says he thinks it's
Virgil, but isn't sure.
Party
A fellow we know says he's
been jaded for some time
by the usual Washington
cocktail party, but that the
one given by the willard
Hotel the other day to an
nOunce its first new kitchen
in los years spanked his in
tereSt.
1t was the first such party
he's attended, he says, that
was held in a kitchen. The
thing that struck him most,
however, was the incOng-
ruity of the harpiSt playing
delicate airs as he sat at his
harp beside a huge oven.
Club
A couple of men stood
sheepishly at the perfume
counter of a downtown de-
partment store. They got to
talking, and each admitted
he was there for the same
reaSon-in the doghouse at
home and looking for a little
gift to set things straight.
Both looked like fitting
candidates for the Doghouse
Club.
Lawrence Hurley brought
the DOLLHOUSE Club to our at

from his daughter May whose
husband evidently is a men,
Der, but May doesn't say why
"This club has the distinc-
