These recommendations
should include consideration
of all phases of possible re-
coming of the area in question
/ for larger lot sizes, and such
other measures as would carry
out the above purposes" the
board said.
The supervisors action does
not affect the plan to acquire
jointly with Federal agencies
about 900 acres of land at
Great Falls at a total cost Of
81 million.
This 900 acres extends along
the Potomac from the mouth
of Difficult Run past Great
Falls tt the Government dam
just above the falls. Fairfax
County's share in this would
be 116 acres of land valued at
100000.
Supervisor Anne Wilkins OPP
posed the resolution. Mrs. Will
kins asserted that the county
should go along with parkway
extensions for the good Of the
area and the Nation.
Supervisor William H. Moss
noted If we join in this (park-
way program) to the tune Of

program for many years to

Area B is bounded by E,
South Capitol, l and Fourth

ready been acquired and 1850
families who formerly lived
there have been relocated.
The developers are the New
York firm, City and Suburban

Mrs. Smith said the detailed
changes have not yet been

are under study, she said.
Delay Brings Objection
Despite his statement about
the density matter. Mr.. Searles
told the Commissioners that the
new proposal would increase
what the RIA would realize on
the land and would also in
crease the tax values.
John Remon, RIA board

strongly objected to any delay
which might result from the
suggested change in plans.

Electoral Voice
Asked in DC Bill

A bill to grant District resi-

House of Representatives and
three electoral votes in presi-
dental elections was introduced
today by Senator Case, Repub-
hcan of South Dakota.
In a talk prepared for de-
livery in the Senate, the, South
Dakotan, a member of the Dis
trict Committee, asserted the
disenfranchised state of the ma
tional seat of government is
Shocking"
A constitutional amendment
would be required to bring
about the proposed limited ma
tional representation. Senator
Case said he would leave to
Congress the decision on the
extent of the rights and privi-
leges of the three District rep
resentatives.
He added, however, that he
feels they would have the same
status as territorial delegates,
who can serve on committees,
offer bills and speak, but not
vote, on the House floor. The
delegates could be elected for
two-year terms, he said.

sicians have discovered in the
use of cadaver blood.
/. There is more assurance
of a sufficient supply than by
depending upon live voluntary
donors.
2. Before the blood is used,
the body is subjected to an
autopsy providing a more &C.
curate examination for hidden
infection or other troubles than
can be given to live donors.
8. Up to six quarts of blood
can be obtained from one body.
Thus. if a patient needs more
than one pint of blood, he can
be given exactly the same
blood. Even with blood of the
same type. there are minor
differences between persons.
The Russian surgeon said
that blood taken from persons
who die suddenly is the best.
These people include victims
of cerebral hemorrhage or
heart attacks. In these in
stances it is unnecessary to use
an anticoagulant with the
blood, he continued.
DR.. Petrov discussed the use
of cadaver blood at a surgical
conference at the hospital.

Mr.. Schultheis proposed

Falls Park.
Recently some of the super
visors took a stroll along the
land in question to get a first
hand view of the Palisades.
The resolution adopted by
the board asserted that lit is
not the intention of this board
to participate with the Ma
tional Park Service in the
acquisition of land for the ex-
pansion of the -. parkway or
land for park purposes. :. ;"
The resolution said further
that "the cost Of this acquisi-
ton would outweigh the present
benefits of such a park and
would adversely affect the gen.
eral park program of the
county"
The supervisors said they be-
lieved the best interests of the
county would be served by pro-
tecting the Palisades on the
Virginia side of the Potomac
river"
The supervisors also said they
desired to maintain the high
quality of the terrain from the
bridge to Great Falls between
the river and Route 193."
With this in mind, the sup
erviSorS asked county executive
Carlton v. Massey to present
to the board recommendations

Tuition Grant
Test Delayed
Arlington Mother
Drops Application

The mother of a 16-year-old
Arlington boy today withdrew
her application for a State tut
ton grant for the private edu-
cation of her son.
Her application had been re-
garded as a potential test of
the validity of Virginia's tut
ton grant program.
The mother, school officials
said, gave as her reason for
dropping the tuition grant re-
quest the possibility of pub
licity surrounding her case.
Her son had been taken out
of Wakefield unior-Senior
High School last January and
was sent to a private school.
This was before four Negroes
were admitted on February 2
to Arlington'S white Stratford
Junior High School. The Fed
eral courts desegregation Or
der did not affect Wakefield.
A special session of the Vir-
ginia General Assembly adopted
the tuition grant laws last
month to allow for the private
education of children who OBJ
ject to attending integrateo
schools.
Since race was not an issue
in the transfer of the Arlington
boy from Wakefield, the case
was seen as presenting the first
basic test of the States new
laws.
Arlington school officials
said they have had applications
for IL tuition grants. The law
makes up to $3.50 available fol

schools is for reasons salts

An ugly-tempered grizzly bear
cub named Horrible was in
troduced to the public today
at the Washington Zoo, snarl-
ing a promise of growing up
to be as vicious as his family.
Horrible is a 5-week-old
male, the only survivor of trip

Zoos grizzly bear pair. If he
Ilives-as Zoo Director Theodore
Reed now believes he will-Hor-
rible will be the first baby
grizzly to survive in the Zoolog-
ical Park here.
That's because there are no
denning facilities for the griz-
lilies at the Zoo, and Papa
Bears instinct is to destroy the
cubs. In short, Mama has no
place to hide.
In nature, the cubs are born
while the bears are alternating
in their denS. The mother griz-
ely normally drives the father
away for two years while she
raises her cubs to the point
where they can snap and snarl
for themselves.
Little Horrible, who weighed
IA ounces at birth and was
every bit as helpless as a human
infant, was born blind and
toothless in the middle of the
night. The keepers whisked
him away to DR.. Reeds Be-
theSda home where Mrs. Eliz-
abeth Reed took over the task
of nursing him past the danger
period.
Mrs Reed was up at all hours
of the night feeding Horrible
his diet of simulated animal
milk and nursing him through
a bout of cradle fever.
In the past week he has
started to show signs of grow
ing up. He weighs more than
3 pounds. and DR.. Reed decided
to put him on display with
two hybrid cubs recently born
at the Zoo although Horrible
still occupies an incubator.

THE ROOMS ARE Just as

THE ROOMS ARE just as
they were when Mrs. Beale
lived there except for the
library, the room in which
Decatur died, which has been
furnished with a long, glass
fronted case in which pic
lures of "the inhabitants"
are exhibited.
These include the Baron
Hyde de Melville, French
Minister to the United States;
Henry Clay; Jackson'S Secre-
tary of State, Martin Van
Buren,; Edward Livingston,
Van Buren'S successor at
State; Sir Charles Vaughan,
British Minister; John Gads-
by, who had operated hotels
in Alexandria and Washing
ton (the NationaD; George
Mifflin Dallas of PennSyl-
vania, Folks vice president;
and Judah P. Benjamin and
Edward F. Beale who bought
it shortly after the Civil War
and his son Truxtun Beale,
who inherited it in 1898.
The tour of the house is a
treat, a glimpse at the fine
interiors that were typical of
the mansions of early Wash
ington. ALI the houses along
Jackson place were used as
military offices during the
Civil War and the elder Beale
did considerable reconstruc-
ton. 1t was he who put the
curlycueS over the windows.
But more interesting was
his use of western coniferous
woods, the Douglas fir, larch,
redwoods, etc, in parquet
flooring. He even had the
great seal of California done
in the floor in a wooden
mosaic.
Beale had reason to be
interested in California. He
was serving as a lieutenant
in the Navy in California
when gold was discovered. He
made the overland trip with
the news, bearing dust and
nuggets as samples. His route
was to Mexico City, Vera
Cruz, ship to Mobile and
stage coaches to Washington
