Problem File
On Families
Gets Booking

Creation Of a central index
file on District problem fami.
lies was approved in principle
by the Commissioners Youth
Council today.
The file. to be maintained BY
an agency not yet designated
was proposed by Gerard M
Shea. District public welfare
director.
Mr.. Shea said the proposed
file would help public and pri.
vate welfare agencies work or
family problems more effec-
lively.
The welfare chief said the
city has a widespread problem
Of family breakdowns. He
called for more emphasis by
welfare agencies on the family
as a unit. He also urged more
uniformity in methods and q
general realignment Of COM
munity resources for dealing
with problem cases.
The youth council voted To
create a special committee ia
study the subject and make
recommendations.

Parent education programs

a teen guide.
Students at Western and
Wilson High Schools and Deal
and Gordon Junior High
Schools participated in the
preparation Of the guide, which
touches on such points as be-
havior at social gatherings,
home and school relationships
and teen-ager participation in
community activities.
The Commissioners Youth
Council had agreed to print
copies Of the guide, with in
dorsement Of the student coun-
ellis Of the schools. 1t was
drafted at the suggestion Of the
area boards in the Georgetown

The District Commissioners
withdrew their earlier support
of the measure in favor of still
higher rates-$25. 900. $4,000
and $4,000 for the same three
categories.
They reconsidered in the
light of a recent recommended
ton of the Washington Metro
politan Regional Conference,
an organization Of governing
officials throughout Washing
ton and surrounding counties,
according to Irving Bryan, as
sistant Corporation Counsel.
Arlington now requires the rates
favored at today's hearing by

Other jurisdictions are pledged
to adopt them.

better insurance protection az

requirements were favored by

Jack BOLTON, president Of the

THE BREWERY has a
splendid view, which will be
enjoyed by the guests of the
coming S. million motel. 1t
is high above the river and
the Three Sister Islands.
The lighthouses, which
launch canoes and rowing
shells and SOULS, are directly
across. Above them is the
D. c. Transit Systems great
brick carbarn of the same
caStle-on-the- Rhine archi-
lecture as the brewery.
In the river can be seen
the granite piers of the
Aqueduct Bridge, just up
stream from Key Bridge.
The old bridge was not torn
down until 1888. However,
that was the second bridge
on those piers. The true
aqueduct, or wooden trough
carrying the canal across the
river, was torn down in 1885.
Those piers were constructed
in 1885 so solidly that 1t was
decided almost 100 years
later that it would be much
cheaper to let them stand
than to remove them.
In the old days, the way to
go from Georgetown to the
Virginia side was to pay a
small fee and ride across the
bridge in a canal boat, high
above the river. But the i'm
portant cargo was coal. In
the year before the Civil War,
100000 tons of coal were
carried across the river in
canal boats towed through
the trough Of the Aqueduct
Bridge.
Why, people ask, was it
necessary to do that? Why
not float the boats on the
river? The answer is that
steam was not in widespread
use when the original Aque-
duet Bridge was built. The
bridge provided a towpath
for mules to tow the boats
across.

building designed and built
more than hundred years ago
would not be entirely adequate
for present-day needs and con-
ditions. It is, therefore, logical
that any necessary additions

the mandatory repairs to the
exterior are made.

The
Rambler
Tries to Trace
An Old Brewery
by GEORGE KENNEDY

The mornings mail con-
tanned a release from a
public relations firm named
M. Belmont Yer Standig,
Inc, on behalf OF Hot
shoppes, Inc, which began:
"A familiar landmark and
eyesore, the Cherry smash
building at 1900 Lee high
way, RoSslyn, will be toppled
today by wrecking crews"
BY reading on, the Ram
bier finally got 1t through
his head that Mr.. Yer
standig meant the Rossyln
brewery.
That's no eyesore. It's
been one OF the romantic
landmarks Of the Washing
ton scene all through this
century.
II is J. w. Marriott's in
tention TO build another
motel on the site, similar to
the one he has at the vir-
ginia end Of the Highway
Fourteenth street, bridge.
That will be multicolored
and very pretty, but 1t won't
dominate the landscape as
did the old brewery tower,
with its clock that stopped
at Q o'clock years and
years ago.
II 1t had to come down,
the Rambler wanted to see
1t topple.
So he drove across Key
Bridge and found the old
building standing very
stoutly.

ING crowbars and ripping
off a few bricks at the rear.
Roland Larkin of Baltimore
has the wrecking contract
and his foreman said:
Its going to take US more
than so days to rae this.
The walls are So inches
thick"
There was no cornerstone
to indicate the year Of its
construction, he said. There
were no watts or brewing ma
chinery in the place. Even
the works of the clock had
been removed a few weeks
ago at the request of the
owner, John E. Fowler. Mr..
Fowler is leasing the ground
to the Hot Shoppes corpora
ton. He is in Florida.
The Rambler had checked
the clips and made a few
telephone calls before cross
ing the Potomac, and it was
strange how little informa-
ton about the brewery was
available. u. ri.
1t was built in the early
l890s-the year is uncertain.
1t was variously called the
Consumers Brewery, the Ar
lington Brewery and the
Rosslyn Brewery. Chris
Heurich, jr., who closed
Washington's last brewery a
couple of years ago, did not
know who owned it.
The John E. Fowler, men,
toned, owned it in 1888 and,
when repeal was imminent,
he tried to float a 50 million
issue of securities to put 1t
back in the brewing bust
ness. 1t had made some
thing called Cherry Smash"
during the l4-year interim.
But Virginia was slow in
legalizing the resumption OF
brewing and the brewery
never reopened.

"She was" the witness said
Carpenter replied.
Later today the prosecution
hoped TO put on the stand Mrs.
Altman and former Army Pvt.
Monteith. both Of whom we're
kidnapped during the flight Of
the two fugitives south from
Washington. Kidnapped with
Pvt. Monteith was Miss Doris
Mattingly. 10. OF Washington.
The defense attorneys told re-
porters they will definitely"
place Carpenter on the witness
stand TO tell his story Of what
happened in his wild adven-
ture with Overton. The latter
was killed In an auto crash
while fleeing from Georgia po-
lice "a hours before Carpenter
was arrested in West Palm
Beach.
TELLS Of Conversation
Miss Mattingly, a striking
brunette student at Emerson
Institute. wound up her testi-
mony yesterday before Judge
Bryan with an account Of con-
versations she had with the
defendant during the wild ride
TO the Richmond area and talks
she overheard between Car
penter and Overtpn.
Miss Mattingly testified that
Carpenter released her south Of
Richmond when Overton was
asleep. Mr.. Monteith was locked
N the car trunk, the Govern
Ment contends, when the fugi.
tives Communicated Mrs. ALL
mans car between Richmond
and South Hill. She was tied to
a tree near Cheraw, s. c.. even
tually.
Testimony Of Discord
The Government brought
forth another witness yesterday
who appeared to buttress the
defense contention that Car
penter was not on the best Of
terms with Overton. Pvt. Law
renee M. Valid, the West Palm
Beach rookie policeman who
captured Carpenter. testified
he asked the prisoner If he
knew Overton was dead.
Pvt. Valid quoted Carpenter
as replying-as they rode to the
police station after his arres~-
as saying he had read Of the
crash in the papers.
Hes not a friend of mine"
Carpenter was quoted by the
policeman as saying. But
after what I've done, I guess
it doesn't matter too much"
The Government is not ask
ing the death penalty under
the Federal kidnapping statute
(the Lindbergh, law by which
Carpenter was indicted. He
remains under murder indict-'
mentS in Washington. however,
in the deaths Of George KaldeS
and Kenneth Fisher. They and
the blind piano player. Bernard
j. Mainer-who since died
were shot down by Overton and

RiseProposed
Unit Sees Need
For $l.2 Million
By SAM EASTMAN
star stan Writer

An Arlington advisory COM
mittee is proposing increases in
five tax categories to raise ST.
million to finance the school
and county budget.
The County Boards Fiscal
Affairs Advisory Committee. 1t
was learned. is recommending
/. An increase Of about one
sixth on business privilege
license taxes. This would bring
in approximately 100000
annually.
2. Doubling the SIS auto tag
fees. This would raise about
$275, 900.
3. An increase from 50 cents
to 81 per 500 on hotel-motel
gross receipts.
4. The $685.. 900 balance would
be raised by increasing real
estate and personal property
taxes. II applied evenly. the
two levies would go up about
l6 cents per 500 of assessed
valuation. Present rates are
1924 on real estate and $4.29
on personal property.
Board TO Get Report
The committees report Is
to be submitted to the County
Board at its next meeting on
April rs.
In the business privilege IL
cense category. the present
rates range from 7 cents to IS
cents per 500 on revenue or
purchases. depending on the
type Of business.
Under the committees pro-
posal, one Of the major cate
gories, retail merchants, would
90 from ID cents to 81 cents.
Wholesale merchants would be
upped from Is cents to about
Is cents.
Hearing Set Tomorrow
The county board has ad-
vertised for an increase to 81
in all IL categories. However,
board members had said this
figure was chosen for adver-
Using purposes only and the
rates would not be raised that
high. A public hearing on the
business tax proposals will be
held tomorrow night.
The Chamber Of Commerce
has put up $1,000 to campaign
against the suggested business
tax increase.
County Manager A. T. Lund-
berg's proposed budget totals
$l5.l million. The school
boards recommended budget
for the forthcoming fiscal year
amounts to $l1.5 million.

tons. A number Of prominent
Ala members have joined in
personal expressions Of OPPOSE
ton.
Mr.. Eggers. however, is the
latest Of a group Of equally
prominent architects who diff
fer with the ALAS position.
Mr.. Eggers said he did not
believe the East front should
be altered appreciably in ap-
pearance and that after exam

he has found that there is no
intention Of doing So"

December 30.
The testimony was given out
of the jury's hearing when de-
tense attorneys James j.
Laughlin and Albert J. Ahern.
jr.. objected TO the admissibility
OF the evidence on grounds that
Carpenter was not arraigned
within proper time.

the jury out Of the courtroom
and permitted the detective TO
