Phoney Droft Cards
Lead to Arrest of Pair

Icomplice. The pair sold six of
the cards and gave away two,
the FBI said. The cards we're
made from a bona fide card
issued to Savage, described as
Class LA in the draft, but
not yet called.
The 17-year-old, Dennis B.
Corbett of 1923 Twenty-Second

morning at his home on a
similar charge. He appeared
before United States Commits
sioner James Splain and was
held in $500 bond for a re-
moval hearing August 80.
Savage was arraigned in Up
per Marlboro, Md, yesterday
before United States Commits
sioner Samuel w. H. Meloy
and held for the Baltimore
Federal grand jury in $1,000
bond.
The spurious draft cards
already have been retrieved

Edgerton to Quit as Chief Judge;
Prettymon to Take Over Oct. 20

The duties of chief judge of
the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of
Columbia will be assumed by
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman on
october 20, nearly 10 months
earlier than had been expected.
Chief Judge Henry w. Edger-
ton announced yesterday a de-
cision to turn over the reins
on the occasion of his 10th
birthday.
Last month Congress passed
a law requiring chief judges to
relinquish administrative duties
after the age of 70, but pro-
vided for the law to go into
effect August 6, 1859.
Noting he had favored the
legislation, Judge Edgerton
told his fellow jurists he had
decided not to wait until next
year, but turn over the chief
responsibilities to the next
senior judge October 20.
Judge Edgerton said he
would retain his active status

Foley Rops
Republicans
On Failures

John r. Foley. Democratic
nominee for the House of Rep
resentative in Maryland's Sixth
District, has opened his cam
paign with an attack on what
he termed Republican failures
to meet the vital needs of the
area"
Mr.. Foley, speaking last night
at his new campaign head
quarers at 11150 Georgia ave-
nue., Wheaton, asserted that
Federal aid to education, recess
sion and imitation, foreign
policy failures and Potomac
River development are the i'm
portant issues facing the Sixth
District"
Promising a campaign on is
sues and not personalities, Mr..
Foley declared: Il would rather
lose a clean campaign - al
though / don't expect to-than
win a dirty victory"
He said the Republican ad-
ministraticn has had "siX years
of backward movement" and
added that "the heritage Of free
world leadership handed down
from Franklin Roosevelt and
Harry S. Truman has been
squandered."
The Republican Party and its
supporters, Mr.. Foley charged,
arrived too late, too uncertain,
too unprepared, too ineffec-
tive"

Chilean indians Bore
Secrets of Witchcroft

Smithsonian savantS know

witched rag from a thorny
bush.
They learned caution from
Sister M. Inez Hilger, a Bene-

turned from the forests of
Southern Chile and Argentina,
where she shared the secrets of
the Araucanian Indians.
To hex an enemy, the

one must bury eggs or meat

this strategy is perilous, ac-
Icording to the nun from st.

tic, he has only to hang the
talisman over a fire, and the

Assault on
Policeman

Robert Princeton, 28-con-
victed in May for his part in
the 900 robbery of a NARROW
Heights MD bank-denied in
District Court today that he
broke the jaw of a Washington
detective during a free-for-all
in a cafe here last September.
Princeton, of the 5000 block
of Shadyside avenue, Capitol
Heights, Md, is charged with
assault on Detective Sergt. Rob-
ert S. Eichelberger during a
struggle in the Redskins Lounge

TENDER 5.
Sergt. Eichelberger testified
earlier that Princeton struck
him both inside and outside the
cafe as the policeman and his
partner attempted to get
Princeton and three others OUT
side after a fight broke out in
the cafe. But Princeton told the
jury that he never laid a hand
on the detective and didn't even
know he was a policeman at the
time.
Princeton was convicted on
May % by Federal jury in
Baltimore for the January rob-
berry of the NARROW Heights
branch of the First National
Bank of Southern Maryland.
He had been charged with
holding the wife and baby of
the banks teller as hostage
while an accomplice went to
the branch and forced the
teller to open the night de-
pository.
Princeton was sentenced to
Is years in Federal prison, but
the conviction has been APP

The
Rambler
Walks Amid
Ruins Of District
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Something is going on in
Washington that calls for
seeing to believe-and even
then it is somewhat in
credible.
The Southwest quarter Of
the old city is being COM
pletely destroyed, and nobody
knows anything about it.
Well, hardly anyone. There
are those whose homes have
been destroyed or condemned
less than 10000 of is mil
lion persons who live in the
complex called Metropolitan
Washington.
Everyone who reads news
papers is aware that a re-
development program has
been under way in South
west for several years. There
are stories about Area A,
Area B and Area c and what
Zeckendorf plans to do, and
more recently about the Chalk
dream with high-speed trans
portation on cars hung from
an overhead monorail and a
row of newly constructed,
charming early 10Th
century-type houses, as If
Washington does not have too
many of them.
Listen! This is important!
Not much is going up in
Southwest. But this is for
sure. The whole quarter is
being torn down.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1958-08-27

OTHER MULTIPLE HOUS-
ING units have been COM
pleted and are occupied.
They are a suggestion of
things to come. But at
present the destruction is
much greater than the con-
struction. Along Delaware
avenue S.W., one of the best
freed streets of Washington,
with lordly elms arching
across it like the vaulting
above a cathedral aisle, are
green fields.
1t was here that some
years back people lived in
varying degrees of SANTA
ton and happiness in dis
graceful alley dwellings, "in
the shadow Of the Nations
Capital" They have all
been removed. No one has
bothered to plant grass, but
in the intervening years,
block after block, acres and
acres have grown a green
cover that would delight
Texas cattle.
Everything in Southwest is
going to come down, the
public schools, No. 4 police
station and the fire house
on K street. That will be
about the last because the
place today, with dismantled
lath and scrap lumber piled
high. is a finder box. Every
thing, that is, except the
Government buildings, the
postwar Jefferson Junior
High School at the foot of
Seventh street, a Negro
church on Fourth street and
st. Dominic'S.
The roof line of that tall
Gothic structure, rising high
above the neighboring houses,
long has dominated South
west. 1t has one of the
largest capacities of any of
the churches in the Capital,
seating 1,400. Of late it has
been attended by a handful
of transients from the motels.
Fortunately for its continue
ton, it is a unit of the
Dominican order. But its
pastor, the Rev. Francis x.
Finnegan, o. P. (Order of
Preachers, is wondering
when he is going to have a
congregation again.

BY A PECULIAR quirk of
modern municipal geography,
which is largely. based on
highways and superhigh-
ways, Southwest is bypassed.
Those coming from the north
of the city or from Mary
land never enter it-unlesS
they are employed by the
Agriculture Department and
then they don't see what's
going on.
Those coming from Vir-
ginia don't have to enter
it either. AS a responsible
Southwest eitiden said:
II don't think most peo-
pie of Metropolitan Wash
ington realize there is a
Southwest"
AS for the destruction, let
me tell you about it. Most
of us remember the newsreel
pictures of Berlin a year or
two after the war--shattered
buildings, mountains of rub
BILE, and neat piles of brick
and stone made by workers
tidying up.
That's Southwest today.
AS in the lottery of the
fall of bombs, some dwellings
are still standing and some
still occupied-little brick
row houses without broken
windows and with people
living in them.
But unlike postwar Berlin,
these surviving dwellings
have not escaped. They will
be destroyed.
There are some attractive
two-story garden apartments
of light-colored brick nearing
completion on both sides of
K street at Third, The
poured concrete frame of a
huge multistoried apartment
house rises on Fourth street.
