linked to the Southwest free

Twelfth streets, and include a
"fallout shelter" for 100000
people.
The brochure stressed that
private financing" is set to
handle the project without any
Federal or city subsidy, pro-
vided the various tenants can
be lined up.
Its main emphasis, however
was a contention that the Gen.
ter, "as the spark for downtown
rehabilitation, gives business
and government positive incen-
tives to promote the rebirth Of
all Washington"
Located between major en-
ployment and shopping areas,
the center would boost revenue
from improved real estate values
and also stimulate retail sales

Spurs COP
In MARYLAND

Senator Capehaft, Republic
can Of Indiana, yesterday gave
Maryland's Young Republicans
his formula for victory next
year.
Attacking disunity inside the
party. the Senator declared:
Every Republican should start
boosting and selling the Re-
publican Party. We're not 60
ing to win unless we do"
The Senator spoke at the
sixth biennial convention of
the Maryland Federation of
Young Republicans at the Mo-
tel Washingtonian in Rockville,
Senator Capehart's remarks
were a rebuttal to comments
made earlier by D. Eldred Rine-
hart, chairman of the Mary
land Republican State Central
Committee. Mr.. Rinehart had
blamed the Party's election re-
verses on the failure Of Re-
publican leaders to "clean UP
the mess in Washington"
The Senator, however, had
another explanation for Repub-
lican defeats. I'VE took a ter
rife licking a year ago." he
said, because too many peo-
pie beat the brains out of the
Republican Party over a period
Of years. They were not
realistic,
Rank and file members, he
said, want you to do the i'm
possible and they seldom know
the facts"
There are differences in
side the party" he declared
but we ought not tell the
public about it."
Following the luncheon hour
speeches, the Young Republi-
cans elected William r. Leck-
emily, jr., 81, president of the
State Federation for the next
two years. Mr. Leckemby, who
lives at 1898 Battery lane, last
fall was a candidate for the
Montgomery County Orphans
Court.

DR.. Gallagher pointed out
that the affliction often is re-
sponsible for a child's failing
courses in school even though
his 10 may be very high. But
his brain receives poor images
of letters or words.
When the child is quite
young, he may excel in arith-
metic, at least until he ad-
vances to word problems. Ulti-
mately, he may shun literature
and the like and end up as an
excellent scientist.
In many cases, it has been
proven that at least one parent
also is afflicted. And, when one
twin has the malady, the other
generally does, too.
Generally, the child with
congenital dyslexia turns to
heavy muscle" sports, DR..
Gallagher said, rather than to
sports that require co-ordina-
ton. such as football or SWIM
ming.
If the condition is detected
early enough, special help in
learning to read may save
much woe. The phonetic teach
ing of spelling is helpful, he
added.

The application comes when
county officials have on their
hands q fight over three pro-
lposed 12-story office buildings
near the Pentagon.
The new application is for a
building in the Rosslyn area
at Wilson boulevard and Fort
Myer drive, across Lynn street
from the Arlington Towers
commercial area.
The owners Of the 2-acre
plot on which the building
would be constructed have
asked the Board of zoning
Appeals TO- grant a coming
variance" for q building 100
feet high. The normal height
limit for the tract, which is
zoned for limited industrial
use, is As feet.
The owners Of the tract are
listed as the Arlington Trust
Co., Lawrence Douglas and Key
Potomac Auto Sales, Inc.
w. H. Kennedy, secretary Of
the coming board, said no spe-
ciflc building plans were filed
with the request. He said, how
ever, that an Office building
with a bank on the first floor
is being considered for the
tract.
Planners Consulted
The coming board has asked
the planning commission to
give it advice on whether the
area should contain hlgh-rise
buildings"
Residents of South Arlington
already have questioned the
authority of the Board of
zoning Appeals to grant vari-
ances raising the height limits
set forth in the coming ordi-
nance. The protesting residents
were particularly concerned
with the otomac River sky
line"
The coming board recently
granted a variance to the
Cafritz-T ompkins interests
which would allow construction
of three History Office build
ings in the proposed "Pentagon
City" on South Army-Navy
drive. This action has been APP
Ipealed TO the county governing
body by South Arlington citi-
zens, who said the buildings
would mar the Potomac skyline

values in nearby residential
areas.
Policy Awaited
Residents have asked that
mo more high-rise buildings be
allowed in the South Arlington
area until the county board
establishes a definite policy on
height limits along the Poto-
mac.
The governing body deferred
action until June Is on the
appeal in order to get recon-
mendations from the Washing
