Arena STAGE
Plans S.W.
Theuter Site

Arena Stage plans to relocate
in the Southwest redevelopment
area where it expects to build
a new permanent theater near
the waterfront.
The local theatrical group
announced yesterday that it is
now negotiating with the Re-
development Land Agency for
a specific site. The group hopes
the new theater will be COM
pleted by early 1861.
Construction of the theater
is expected to start this spring.
1t will be of the arena-type
design seating between $50 and
TOO persons, with provisions for
adoption to the traditional
three-Sided staging design.
The site hoped for is at a
point where Maine avenue will
join M street S.W. near the
soon-to-be constructed Town
Center.
AS part of the new plans the
Washington Drama Society, a
non-prof1t Organization. was
formed earlier this month to
take over the operation of
Arena Stage and to raise funds
for construction of its new
home.
Some 100000 will be raised
for construction of the theater.
The Eugene and Agnes E.
Meyer Foundation will provide
a grant of $4,000 to be made
once definite construction plans
are presented and the theater'S
hackers can assure the founda-
ton that the remaining funds
will be available.
The remaining $250,000 will
be raised through a COM
munity-wide fund drive and
grants from foundations.

Sierra County last August is.
After Motherwells arrest by
the FBI in Atlanta, Ga, a few
days later, he was extradited
to California. Subsequently, Mr..
Reyes and Mr.. Smith agreed on
a lengthy continuance of the
case.
Mr.. Reyes said that if the
county is not represented when
he appears in court October
26, he will then move to dismiss
the case. If this happens, he
said, the county may be forced
then to rearrest Motherwell and
hold him for the grand Jury.
Mr.. Reyes said that Mr..
Smith told him he would pre-
sent the case to the grand jury
because the jury foreman had
requested it.
81 consider this another step
in the judicial persecution of
Larry Lord Motherwell," Mr..
Reyes said.
Mrs. Putney was last seen
leaving a motel in Marysville,
Calf, with Motherwell on Au-
gust IS, 1858. No trace has been
found of some $4,000 in cash
and securities which she was
believed to have been carrying.

BLIND SOCIETY HELPS OUT
UGF Eases Costly Eye Glass Load

Mrs. Irene Picchio can walk
about the house now without
fear Of humping into furniture.
The 54-year-old widow, who
lives at ITO Fifty-eighth ave-
nue., Capitol Heights, Md, with
her 84-year-old mother and ga
year-old father, has just I'M
dergone two operations for re-
moval Of twin cataracts.
These are cloudy lens in the
eyes which over a number of
years cause blindness.
Mrs. Picchio's bandages are
off but it will be several months
before her eyes have recovered
sufficiently to permit fitting for
permanent glasses.
II can see little" she says.
"but not very well without
glasses"
Glasses, however, are expen-
sive. They cost $50, which is
more than many persons, faced
with doctors and hospital bills,
can afford. Besides, they are
only temporary.
Aided by Agency
This is where the Prevention
Of Blindness Society. one of the
146 health and welfare agencies
participating in the United
GiverS Fund, has stepped in.
Mrs. Picchio is now using a
pair of temporary cataract
glasses provided by the society
until she is ready for perma-
nent ones.
In a few days she will be
able to return to her job as a
maid at the Anchorage Apart
ments, 1900 @ street NV. Il
wouldn't be able to work or
do anything without those
glasses" she says. And II GER
tainly is important that I get
back to work"
Providing temporary glasses
for persons who have had cata-
racts removed is the latest Of
the Prevention of Blindness So
ciety's many services.
The agency also tests adults
for glaucoma, the eye disease,

the needy and tries to help

because a copy had been OBJ
tanned fro mthe National Cap
ital Planning Commission,
some of whose members be-
lleved the approaches will mar
the beauty of the memorial
area.
Mr.. Finley said the fine arts
group agreed the approaches
would seriously interfere with
the surroundings of the Lin
coin Memorial and other build
ings in the vicinity" and will
also interfere with the setting
of the national cultural center
as now proposed"
Aesthetics Stand
Asked for his opinion on this,
Gen. yelling said: THE aeS-
theticS of the area will be
properly cared for. Who do
you think built all these me-
MORALS? They were put up
by officers of the Corps Of
Engineers"
Gen. yelling said the District
still is working with the Fine
Arts Commission on details
such as lighting the bridge.
Mr.. Finley said the commits
sion "as late as october /. 1859,
requested the Engineer Com
missioner to submit plans for
approaches to the bridge"
The commission therefore Is
withdrawing approval until a
satisfactory solution has been
found and submitted to the
commission" Mr.. Finley said,
adding:
THE Commission of Fine Arts
wishes to make clear that it has
no responsibility for actions
that have been taken without
its knowledge"
Bids Open October 20
Bids on the contract for the
$24.5 million six-lane bridge
are scheduled for opening Oc-
tober 90, with construction due
to begin about six weeks later
unless the steel strike holds up
material.
In another action yesterday
the Fine Arts Commission gave
enthusiastic approval to the
general design of the national
cultural center. What is need
ed to make it complete is space
commensurate with the archi-
tectural concept" Mr.. Finley

All available evidence indi-
Gates the new Fairfax County
Hospital will be completed vir-
tually on schedule in october,
1860, Chairman Stuart De Bell
of the county Board of Super
visors said today.
However, he reported. it has
not been determined whether
changes in construction plans
will significantly increase costs,
originally estimated at Sc mil
lion.
The Board of Supervisors and
the Hospital Commission con-
ferred until 2 am. today re-
garding investigation of the
alleged delays in construction.
Mr.. DeBell said the board
intended to issue a full state
ment late this afternoon de-
signed to restore public con-
fidence in the hospital project,
which has become the subject
of spirited controversy in the
county.
Plumbing Plans Revised
RevisionS Of plumbing install
lation plans repeatedly caused
a two-and-a-hal month build
ing lag this summer. The revi-
sionS required some structural
changes in the multi-story
building located on Gallows
road off Arlington boulevard.
However, Mr.. De Bell said,
investigations by a board of in
quiry and the Board of Super
visors indicated that rapid
construction now under way
probably will compensate for
ANY delays.
The investigations, which he
described as exhaustive, have
been completed but the super
visors plan to observe closely
progress on the project until it
is finished, he said.
Asked whether the forthcom-
ling report criticizeS those
charged with direction of the
construction, Mr.. De Bell de-
clined to comment.
But he said Donald L. VIII
kins, chairman Of the commits
sion which, is supervising the
project, and other commission
members concurred with the
report.
Advisory Unit Formed
Meanwhile, the formation of
a nine-member medical advi-
sorry committee by the Fairfax
/ Hospital Association paved the
way for the creation of a med
lical staff at the hospital.
The committee, consisting of
practicing physicians, will ad-
wise the board Of trustees and
Administrator Franklin P.
Iams on proper steps to be
taken in organizing the medi-
cal staff and establishing a
medical education program. .
Donald E. Ball, chairman Of
the board, said the work of the
committee will largely deter
mine the quality of medical
care the patients will receive
In selecting the committee,
the hospital association was
advised by the medical soci-
cites of Fairfax and Airing
ton Counties and Alexandria.

"The law does not give the
commission veto power, but
only the right to advise on the
bridge structure, which it
earlier approved" Gen. Well
ing said.
I'VE have advertised bids for
construction of the piers and
main bridge and will open the
bids as scheduled, let the con-
tract as scheduled and begin
construction on schedule"
Finley Report
In a statement yesterday,
Chairman David E. Finley of
the Fine Arts Commission said
the group unanimously had
withdrawn approval given last
January.
The approval, he said, was
conditioned on an agreement
with a representative of the
District Highway Department
that the commission would be
allowed to see plans later for
approaches and interchanges.
II know of no such commit
ment by the District Building"
Gen. yelling said. IF there
was some such commitment to
consult with the commission,
that will be done in due time"
Backs yelling Stand
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican of Virginia, said today
he agreed with Gen. Welling's
determination to go ahead with
the bridge construction.
1.-THE people are getting dis
gusted with the dilatory and
procrastinating tactics of the
Fine Arts Commission" Mr..
Broyhill said.
He said the House District
Committee, of which he is a
member, had leaned over back
wards and that the District
government had made many
concessions toward meeting the
aesthetic requirements of the
commission.

On-the-Job Disabilities
Already Top SO Mark

above the total for the previous
year.
Engineer Commissioner A. c.
yelling told the eighth an
nual District Conference on In
dustrial Safety today that
there were 27,713 injuries in
fiscal 1859 and SO deaths.
Frequency Rate Defined
This compares with q total
of 25,004 injuries and 40 fatal
tiles reported in fiscal 1858.
1.-THE all-industry frequency
rate was 21.6 as compared with
IT'S the previous year." Gen.
yelling said at the meeting at
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission Building.
The frequency rate is the
number of disabling injuries
per million employe hours.
Discussing the safety record
in District government, he said
that since a safety program
was set up in 1854 the injury
frequency rate has been re-
duced rs per cent to the pres
ent rate Of IA.
Reason Outlined
Fred C. Thomas, director Of
safety for the District Mini
mum Wage and Industrial
Safety Board, said that one
factor in the injury increase
rate is the rise in the number
of persons in private employ
ment in Washington.
He added that there were
$4,000 employed in Washing
ton private industry in fiscal
1859, an increase of 5000 over
the number working in the
