Mr.. McKeever said better
parking facilities are needed

Mr.. Wilkes. however, that zon-
ing should not require new
building developers to provide
off-street parking.
Economic Obstacle Seen
A coming formula based on
required parking spaces per

$4,000 Cache
In Depot PrObed

The mystery of who planted
$4,000 in a downtown bus
terminal storage locker has been
solved, but sleuths are still
mighty curious about a few de-
tails.
The cache. mostly in 500 bills,
was discovered yesterday by an
attendant in the Greyhound
Terminal.
Company officials told police
they had their man make a
check Of several lockers in which
slugS have been deposited in re-
cent weeks. Articles may be
stored in these lockers for a
dime for "a hours.
The attendant told police that
when he opened this particular
locker, he found no slugs in the
coin box. There was inside,
however, a brown valise. The
attendant told police he took
the valise to the basement. He
said he found it contained a
shirt and what appeared to be
four sandwiches wrapped in
newspaper.
On closer examination, the
sandwiches" turned out to be
four packs Of currency, $40,0 900
worth. He notified Metropolitan
Police, the Secret Service, the
FBI and Armed Services Police.
Among the first On the scene,
a detective and an FBI agent
decided to pose as uniformed
coin changers employed by the
station and watch to see who
claimed the locker.
They made change like mad
for an hour or so. but someone
else got their man. Other
agents had checked the laundry
marks In the shirt and had gone
to the owners home. He was
Identified as John A. Clements,
so, Of 1907 Twelfth street NV.
Sure, It's my money" came
the prompt response. Il won 1t
gambling. and I'd just rather
keep 1t down there"
He produced his locker key
and was escorted to the termi-
nal. There he got back his shirt,
his satchel and his 40 grand.
But only after Treasury agents
mad noted the serial numbers
on the bills and indicated more
than idle curiosity in the mans
income tax returns.

Immediate Approval
Of Area C Asked
District Weighs
RIA Request
To Speed Action
BY GEORGE BEvERIDGE

49, A@ASAAN
The Commissioners today took
under advisement request for
immediate approval of the 400
acre AREA C" Southwest redevel-
opment plan.
John r. Searles, jr., Redevel-
opment Land Agency director,
urged the approval and said a
second document specifying pub
lie facilities the District must
provide in the redevelopment
area will be submitted to the
Commissioners by December Is.
Approval of the plan and a
firm agreement to provide about
$13.8 million worth of streets,
schools and other public works
are the two actions the Commits
sioners must take before the RIA
can apply for Federal funds to
carry out the project.
Mathe Advises Condition
Col. Robert E. Mathe, city
urban renewal co-ordinator, adj
vised the Commissioners to APP
prove the plan with a condition
that it be effective only at the
time the city heads approve the
Cooperation agreement" to
provide its share of the building
program.
Col. Mathe said he anticipated
no trouble but that he thought
the two actions should be taken
together since the agreement
will bind the District to mill
lions of dollars worth of expen-
ditures.
Mr.. Searles took the position
that his agency does not want
a conditioned approval of the
plan at any cost. He said such
a condition would be attached
forever in the record of the
project and might raise ques-
tons when financing and other
later action is sought.
Points to Earlier Projects
At the same time, he said he
saw no reason for a conditioned
approval since the agency can
make no move until the second
document is signed. He also
pointed out that in previous re-
development projects, the Com
missioners have approved plans
before acting on the "co-opera-
ton agreements"
Mr.. Searles said there are rea-
sons vitality affecting the project
why the plan should be approved
before December Is.
The Commissioners held a
public hearing on the plan last
May Is and there was expected
to be no holdup in its approval.
Engineer Commissioner Thom-
as A. Lane said he expected the
city heads would consider action
at their boafd meeting next

The
Rambler
Some Old Names
For New Schools
By JACK JONAS

The Board of Education is
looking for appropriate names
for a couple of new schools
under construction, and has
asked the public for sugges-
tionS.
Well, how about Edward
Tippert?
True, young Ed was driven
from home by his father in
those days of stern parental
discipline. But he seems to
have recovered from that suf-
ficiently to become a self
made man in the finest Amer
lean tradition.
II made my way to Wash
ington," he wrote, where 1
very soon found friends, and
as I was considered tolerably
qualified, I was favored by
Mr.. Elliot to the situation of
assistant teacher"
That was in 1903, when the
Rev. Robert Elliot was prin-
cipal at Eastern Academy.
Mr.. Tippert must have had
a lot of wisdom, based on
experience, to impart to his
pupils. Before he took up
teaching, he was in turn an
inventor, farmer, shoemaker,
huckster and preacher.
And his "tolerable qualifi-
cations" must have been well
recognized, for after several
years as assistant, he was
made principal teacher at the
academy.
He was in that post 10 years,
and while he was principal
sent 1900 Washington young
sterS out from his school
with their basic knowledge.
When Gen. Lafayette visited
Washington in 1924, it was MIR.
Tippert's pupils who were
chosen as most representative
of the school youngsters,
and honored by being pre-
sented to the general during
a reception in his honor.

Z
solved independently, but only a!
part of development plans fol
the entire Metropolitan region.
In the days most drastic idea
Carl Feiss, president of the
Washington Chapter, American
Institute of Planners, suggested
that the District be made a part
of Maryland and that a "Poto-
mac Federation" be formed to
carry out uniform, area-wide
development programs.
Sees Concept OutmOded
/ Mr.. Feiss contended that the
Federal City concept" is a myth
which must bow to the para
mount" need of metropolitan
federation. Arguing that area
wide action is impossible as long
as Congress retains absolute con-
troll over the Capital. he said the
Federal Government already has
extended far beyond the city
limits and has shown little re-
sponsibility for the area it oc-
cupies."
AS Washington, Nd" he said,
the city would be able to act in
partnership with bordering coun-
ties to solve their common prob
lens.
The talks also raised sharp
conflict over the adequacy Of
Washington planning procedures
in paving the way for a revision
OF the city coming code.
"MuddIing" Hit
Julian Berla, architect, said
"muddled planning" procedures
of the National Capital Planning
Commission failed to give Dis
trict zoning Consultant Harold
M. Lewis adequate guide-lines
for his controversial new coming
proposals. Mr.. Berla called for
turning over planning functions
10 the District Commissioners.
c. McKim Norton, planning
commission member from New
York. contended anyone who
claims Washington lacks a
comprehensive plan on which 70
base revised zoning is either
uniformed OF insincere."
Mr.. Norton Endorsed as "rea-
sonable" number Of Mr.. Lewis
coming proposals. The most con-
troversial would impose tighter
limits on the size Of new down.
town buildings and require the
new buildings 70 furnish rigid
off-street parking facilities.

posals. said the downtown is
healthy now. and cannot afford

Congress were sympathetic, he
said, perhaps the country s
mailmen could be used ito dis
tribute membership certificates
at 10 cents apiece"
A Third Idea
Or there's a third idea.
Maybe we could make the
old house a headquarters for
some eleemosynary institution.
Perhaps the American PSYCHE
atric Association would come in
and use the place as a head
quarters for lobbying.
IF the pSychiatrists did some
more lobbying 1t might be good
for the country"
But there would be handicaps
for the psychiatristS. Mr.. New
believes that faithful restora-
ton of an old house means
making no concessions to modern
conveniences. Asked what he
had in mind, he said:
Il mean there will be no
bathrooms. Those old houses
didn't have them and this one
won't"
After looking at the Lloyd
House today, Mr.. New was to
be the guest of the Historic Alex
andria Foundation for luncheon
and a guided tour of historic
points in the city. One of the
stops will be the old Lyceum,
which the Alexandrians will be
careful to tell Mr.. New is also
due for demolition soon unless
somebody" puts up $4,000 to
save it.
Mr.. New is leaving town to-
might.
Before he leaves, he will make
its plain to the several Alexan-
Idrla historic associations con-
|cerned, that he will submit his
final plan to them for approval
before he does anything, he said
They can veto it if they
want" he said. But if they do,
they should be prepared to take
the place over-at exactly what
i paid for it,"

OR HOW ABOUT Henry

OR HOW ABOUT Henry
Ould?
There was an Ould School
here once, but that name was
never official. 1t was listed
as the Lancasterian Western
Public School, but was more
commonly known as the JEFF
ferSon Stable School.
Difficulty in finding quar-
tiers led to setting up the
Lancasteian School in the
White House Stables at Four
teenth and G streets NV.
Mr.. Ould taught there for
about IS years after the
school opened September 3,
1924.
The budget was a pressing
problem in the days when Mr..
Ould taught his charges in
the old stable, and the Lam.
casterian system was the most
economical that could be
found.
One form of instruction was
the alphabet wheel. Another
was the use of the sand table.
That was a black topped table
covered with white sand, on
which the students wrote
with their fingers. When one
lesson was finished, a common
fiatiron was used to erase it.
Mr.. Guild was a believer in
discipline. Truants were made
to wear a huge cardboard sign
with the word "Truant" on it,
and which, when not in
use, hung on a post in a
conspicuous place in the
school. If a pupil was caught
twice in truancy, he was tied
In a blanket and left to sleep
on the schoolroom floor at
night.
