The District Commissioner to-
day approved a new program in
tended to give more physically
handicapped persons an oppor-
tunity for District Government
employment.
Henry F. Hubbard. District
personnel officer, was named CO.

partment co-ordinators are also
to be appointed in subordinate
District agencies.
Under the program, no phys
ically handicapped persons will
be arbitrarily barred from en-
ployment because Of their handi-
caps. Special efforts were or
dered by the city heads to find
jobs which such persons are
qualified to fill.
The District action followed

ties to the handicapped. The
commission cited statements
made by President Eisenhower

capped persons throughout the
country.

3 Sentences
Upheld in DC.
Narcotic Case

A three-judge panel of the
United States Court Of Appeals
with two judges expressing mis-
givings. today upheld a 3-i5
year sentence imposed on a first
offender drug peddler for three
Ioffenses stemming from the
same sale.
The convicted peddler, Nc
Kinley E. Gore, cited the Boggs
narcotics act as providing 2-5
year maximum for first offenders.
Gore had received three SEN
tences of is years each to run
conseeutively after his convic-
ton in a dope sale.
Appellate Judge Walter M.
Bastian cited a Supreme Court
ruling in a similar case, Block
burger versus United States
I In that case, the Supreme
Court held that single act vio-
lating two laws is punishable
under both as long as different
evidence is necessary to sustain
the charge in each case.
In the current case. Gore had
been convicted of selling con-
cealed dope. selling it without
prescription and selling untaxed
narcotics. All the charges
Istemmed from a single act.
/ 1T having been long +. es-
tablished that each count OF
such an indictment as is here
involved states a separate Of
fense. we can uphold defendants
contention only by holding that
the three counts must be con-
sidered as single offense. there
by causing his sentence to exceed
the maximum for first offenders.
Judge Bastian wrote.
I'VE cannot accept this rea-
lsoning when its effect would be
to reduce sentences for separate
and distinct offenses by the use
/ of statute intended to increase
the penalties" the judge stated
In concurring in the result
Judge David L. Bazelon de-
clared:
I 1T is clearly intended that a
person against whom any one
Of the defined phases of a drug
selling transaction is proved
should be punished"
/ Judge Bazelon pointed out the
binding effect Of the Block
burger ruling.
Unless we are freed from the
I controlling effect of Blockburger
i. i. We have no choice but to
Icountenance the sentences here
imposed" the judge declared

D. c. Extends
Porking Limit
To "a Hours

The District Commissioners
today dropped long-standing
ban against parking cars longer
than l8 hours in one spot on the
streets.
They substituted a new regu-
lation limiting continuous park
ing to "a hours.
The change was a victory for
"a Washington attorney, Anthony
Wayne Smith of 1916 New
Hampshire avenue NV. who
three months ago launched a
one-man campaign against the
18-hour rule.
Mr.. Smith began his drive
after being ticketed twice for
violating the rule.
Traffic Director George E.
Keneipp had been unenthusiastic
about dropping the l8-hour reg
ulatlon In an exchange of let.
ters with Mr., Smith, he said the
Districts streets "are not in
tended for the storage of cars"
and also called 18 hours not an
unreasonable limitation.
However. the traffic director
in a recent report to the Com
missioners finally said he would
not object to the new 24-hour'
rule.
Mr.. Smiths victory was only
partial. He had suggested that
the city order the Police De-
partment merely to serve a
notice on violators of the park
ing limit instead of ticketing
them. He also urged extending
the limit to a week or 10 days.
Mr.. sKeneipp did object to
those ideas. however. He said he
was sure it would bring serious
objection from the public be-
cause of the need for clearing
the streets for wedding recep-
tions. funerals and other special
events.
Mr.. Smith. when informed Of
the Commissioners action today,
declared:
"Twenty-four hours is abb
surd."
He said the change would &C.
complish nothing and added:

Smokey. the Washington Zoos
celebrated flre-prevention bear,

He still isn't the benevolent

He was flown to Santa Fe in

plane and treated. When no one
else volunteered to give Smokey
a home. Ray Bell. chief Of law
enforcement for the game de-
partment appointed himself the
cubs foster father.
Smokey not only bit Mr.. and
Mrs. Bell. their daughter Judy
and everyone else who came TO
visit. but he kept up a running
battle with the family's cocker
spaniel, swatting him with a
forepaw whenever the dog tried
to play.

Washington later that year, he
was still quite mischievous and
quite pugnacious." In the words
