RICHMOND, Oct. 10 (AP) -
BY the end of this year the
once familiar high wheeled
locomotives will be gone from
Virginia, and the era Of steam
railroading may be considered
closed for all practical pur-
poses.
In their 1913 years in the
State, the steamers helped to
knit the Old Dominion to-
gether, and they played promi-
nent roles in the Civil War and
in World Wars I and II.
In the Nation, the loco
motives moaning, lonesome
whistles gave birth to some of
Americas blues, and engineers
drove their way into folk song
and history.
Yesterday marked the end Of
passenger steam on the main
lines Of Eastern Virginia.

Karrick Urges
Rejection Of
Keith Theater

District Commissioner David
B. Karrick yesterday joined
Commissioner Robert E. Nc
Laughlin in opposition to the
city's acceptance of the Keith
Theater Building.
AS of now, Mr.. Karrick said,
he would turn down the offer
by builder Morris Cafritz to
give the District the theater
building as a performing arts
center.
His principal objection is
that the building is encountered
by a SIS million mortgage.
Mr.. Mclaughlin, about 10
days ago. said he thought the
city could not afford to accept.
Mr.. Cafritz offered to give the
eight-story building located at
Fifteenth and G streets NV.
to the city for use by the rec
reation department. He valued
the property at SO million.
In discussing his personal
view on the offer. Commission
er Karrick said he could not
agree to take the property and
pay off the large mortgage at
a time when the District is
being pressed to meet welfare,
education. health and other i'm
portant needs.
Another consideration. Mr..
Karrick said, is what use the
District would make of the
building. He stated the belief
that Washington's ballet and
opera groups might each use
it about a dozen times a year.
1t has been suggested that
aside from the recreational use
from the theater itself, the
scores of Offices might be used
to house Distict agencies.
Mr.. Karrick said that before
any acceptance of the offer is
made. the District should de-
termine exactly what use it will
have for the building.
The building now leased to
RKO was offered by Mr.. Ca
fritz last month with certain
conditions the District would
have to meet. One of the con-
ditionS was that the SIS mil
hon mortgage be paid of by
1862. Following that the Dis
trict would have to use it as a
performing arts center 80 days
q year.
