The District Commissioners to-

The proposed rule, which had

The Commissioners today also
dropped from the new regula-
tons a proposal for certification
of apartment houses on the word
of the owner.
This rule would have allowed
the licensing department to GER
tify as approved establishments
which had not been inspected.
Except for these two proposals,
the city heads approved the reg

venture leads the way and
Ambition reads the dials? Is
there no company for him for
whom the air is cleft by OAR
ing and the darkness is made
light by Emprise?"
True, the fragile bodies OF
his fellows do not weigh down
his plane; true, the fretful
minds Of weaker men are
lacking from his crowded
cabin; but as his airship keeps
her course he holds commun-
ion with those rarer spirits

Mental SURVEY
Refused by
Accused Woman

An assistant United States at
torney said today he felt "un-
necessary delays" caused by the
defense are hampering Govern
ment efforts to evaluate the
mental condition of Miss Edith
Louise Hough. charged with
numbering her one-time fiance.
John C. Conliff, jr., expressed
his concern after DR.. Margaret
Mercer, a psychologist, reported
that Miss Hough declined to be
examined today when DIR. Mer-
Ger visited her at the District
Jail.
Miss Hough is undergoing
psychiatric tests in connection
with her shooting of Zurab Alb
dusheli. 44-year -old Voice Of
America translator. at the
Woodner Apartments a week
ago.
DR.. Mercer Kept Waiting
''Dr. Mercer was kept waiting
two hours and then was told by
Miss Hough that DR.. Frank
Caprio. the psychiatrist for the
defense, had advised her not to
talk to Government psychiatrists
until he had completed his ex-
animation, Mr.. Conliff said.
I'VE have been trying to learn
this woman's true mental con-
dition in a fair and impartial
way. The result of the advice
by DR.. Caprio is hampering our
efforts" he declared.
Mr.. Conliff said DR.. Caprio
talked to Miss Hough yesterday
morning and was expected to
return in the afternoon to re-
sumo the examination, but did
not do so.
DR.. Mercer. a psychologist on
the staff Of st. Elizabeths Hos
pital, was appointed to the case
in a private capacity by. DR..
William G. Cushard, chief Of
psychiatric services of st. Eliz-
abeths. who also was retained by
the prosecution in a private ca
pacity to examine Miss Hough.
No Intention Seen
DR.. Mercer said she was Ger.
tain there was no deliberate in
tention on the part of Miss
Hough to evade examination by
the Government-appointed ex-
lperts.
1.-The delay in seeing Miss
Hough this morning was occa-
stoned only by a mixup in the
schedule" she said. II found
Miss Hough most agreeable to
the tests. She understands they
are routine in such cases and
when the time comes I'm sure
she will cooperate"
DR.. Cushard declined to COM
ment except to say his report
was not yet completed. DR..
CuShard has seen Miss Hough
at least once. Mr.. Conliff said
DR.. Cushard had spoken of the
need OF having psychologist
interview the accused woman be-
fore his report could be COM
pleted.
Mr.. Conliff also quoted DR..
Cushard as expressing concern
about delays in the prosecutions
examination of Miss Hough. since
the tests diminish in value in
ratio to the time which elapses
after commission of the crime

The
Rambler
=. Pays Homage
To Fornous Plane
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

They descend on Washing
ton at this time of year by the
thousands-the high school
students, the boys in Union or
Confederate hats, the girls in
tight, pinched-in skirts and
sneakers.
One of the first bus stops is
the Smithsonian Institution.
They walk in the Arts and
Industries Building, right
under the Wright Kitty Hawk
plane (1s0S) and scarcely give
1t a glance. 1t seems to be a
meaningless antique to them.
But the Spirit of st. Louis"
stops them.
There is the plane that
made history in their book.
With its l2-cylinder radial
engine and trim design, it
means something to them,
even If 1t is something that
happened more than a decade
before they were born.
Gee whiz," said one. How
did he see?"
That's a good question, as
the saying goes. Lindbergh
sat behind a 20O-gallon tank
Of gasoline and saw only
through a periscope.
A mother stopped by, her
hand over the shoulder of her
8-year-old son.
"And here it is" she said
proudly.
Can anyone get up in it?"
asked the boy.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-06-06

AFTER SHE SAID NO, she
told him she remembered the
day.
Eyes, I was alive, very much
alive right here in Washing
ton," she said. How we prayed
that night of May 20, 1927,
that he would make it."
Three l7-year-old boys in
caps stopped by. They scarcely
gave the plane a glance.
Where are the sports cars?"
asked one. Our bus driver
told us that the car he drove
in the Indianapolis 1928 race
is on exhibit here"
An elderly woman asked,
"Just one motor?"
A 6-year-old girl recognized
1t.
ITS the Spirit of st.
LOUIS she said, Il saw it in
the moovieS."
What happened next is hard
to believe, even in retrospect.
The Rambler was standing
there taking notes. A man Of
about 40 came up and said:
Il beg your pardon, are you
Col. Lindbergh?"
Slim? Well, hardly.
An attractive wife in her
middle years said to her hus-
band:
This brings back memo
ries."
Indeed it did. That night
and the triumphant message
of the next evening must be
as indelibly written in the
minds of millions of Amer
leans as Pearl Harbor Sunday.

than some are ever hurt. The
person who meant the most

him.
But in his new home. and in

And at camp he found a

him a chance TO belong, who
