urban Renewa|
Secrecy Hit

Secret meetings of the Dis
trict Urban Renewal Council
were protested today by the
Washington Housing Associa-
ton.
Association President Charles
A. Horsky wrote Council Chair
man William H. Dyer that ex-
ecutive sessions could seriously
weaken or destroy the true
function of the council"
He was referring specifically
to an unannounced, evening
meeting last month of the
council behind closed doors. A
vote was taken to oppose con-
version of private property to
public housing unless the con-
version "upgraded" the neigh
borhood and increased the city'S
total housing inventory.
The action stemmed, in part
from confusion over council
members conflicting actions or
a recent proposal of the Ma
tional Capital Housing Author
ity to buy the private Terrace
Apartments. First. the council
opposed the purchase, and then
they voted for the deal. The
District Commissioners. by a
2-to-1 vote. opposed the sale
with Commission President
Robert E. Mclaughlin dissent
ing.
Mr.. Horsky did not discuss
the Terrace issue in his letter
An official release of the secret
vote still has not been made.
He stressed instead the pur-
pose of the council-to develop
full community understanding
and support for the varied &C
Invites of urban renewal.

Secretary of Commerce Sim
clair Weeks, welcoming the
delegates, said he hoped they
would find time to act like the
tourists they serve. and have a
good look at Washington.
He said the Commerce De-
partment was particularly in
terested in the continued in
crease in tourism because of
the important part it plays in
increasing two-way interna-

said, provide the dollars with

Government tourist officials
from Sc nations on both sides

told that nothing is as con-
ducive to developing the prin-

knowledge and understanding
which comes from world travel.
The message of peace through

After a slow start in 1857. he
said the experts predict that
close to l.450.000 Americans
will have left the United States

A survey of progress through

said, there has been relatively
little progress except in devel-

by which good drinking water
has been produced from sea and
brackish water under favor

French problem is in North
Africa and the vast Sahara.
Work has been directed mainly
toward distillation by solar

now are being tested.

Ito Job; Hearing
SET on Staying

James w. Sisk, 80, charged
with staying q man he accused
Of breaking up his home. was
back at work on his sheet metal
job today pending a prelim-
mary hearing Wednesday.
Sisk told Fairfax County po-
lice he fired II times at Ches-
ter william Cockrell. rs. Of
5703 Devine street, Falls
Church. after Cockfell boasted
Of being the father of Sisk's
18-month-old daughter.
Cockrell was slain Saturday
night in front Of the Sisk
home at 321 Lunceford lane.
Pimmit Hills.
In Sisk's story given to De-
tective Sergt. Cecil Brown, he
said the fight eliminated a
long series of battles with
Cockrell. a one-time friend
who took away his wife.
Fight Breaks Out
The fatal fracas began with
Cockrell walking into the Sisk
home Saturday night and
threatening to kill Sisk. he said.
They began a rough-and-tu
BILE fight which moved from
room to room, wrecking furni-
ture in the course.
1t was after that. Sisk said,
that Cockrelfl claimed to be
the father Of Sisk's baby. He
told police he saw red and after
that he didn't know what hap
pened.
In the shooting, IA bullet
holes were drilled in the front
screen door. Cockrell was struck
three times, twice in the right
side and once in the back.
Cockrell, a house painter and
a member Of the Fairfax Coun-
ty police force for three months
last year. was pronounced dead
at the hospital.
Falls Near Car
When Cockreli fell, he was a
few feet from his car in which
police found a shotgun.
Sisk's bond was set at $4,000
by Justice of the Peace Law
renee w. Munday, who said the
low amount was justified be-
cause Of the circumstances Of

Sisk family had lived in the

ger, said Sisk had worked there
Is years and was regarded as a

Met 3 Years Ago
Yesterday, with members Of
his family present. Sisk told a
story of how Cockrell was
brought to his home three years
ago by friends for a card game.
He said they became friends
until one day he found him
with his wife. Jean. 80, in a
shack on route Z.
A fist fight followed, and
Mrs. Sisk agreed to remain with
her husband, who was hoping
to keep a home for his three
children.
Last June Mrs. Sisk left her
husband. A month ago she and
Cockrell visited him at his
home. "just to be smart. I
guess" Sisk related. This
brought on another fist fight.
Mrs. Sisk took the baby with
