Crane Boom

A sailor remained perched
about so feet in the air on top
of crane boom for about two
hours early yesterday before
he was talked into coming
down. Prince Georges County
police reported.
Every time police approached
the boom or turned on spot
lights he threatened to jump,
police said.
Police identified the sailor as

climbed up the boom at the
NARROW Heights Shopping
Center on Branch avenue
shortly after l am, police re-
ported.
He was first seen, police said,
by Miss Madeline Townsend,
81, of 4303 Eastern avenue,
Rainier.
Miss Townsend said she was
visiting with nearby friends
when she heard the sailors
voice coming out of the dark
ness. She called back and Kept
up a conversation until she
located him atop the crane.
She talked with him nearly
two hours while police were
there. When the sailor came
down halfway, she moved
back into the crowd of specta-
tors, but was soon called back
to the crane by police who re-
ported the sailor would not
descend the rest of the way un-
less she we're there. Miss Town.
send said she had never seen
the man before.
The sailor was persuaded by
police to give them the name

to the scene.
While more than 200 persons
from the parking lot
Of the Hecht Co. store under
construction in the shopping

bition. No one has ever de-
signed an air museum, and
what we learn here can be

Three Fires Strike;
$4,000 Yacht Lost
Two Apartment
BIozes QueIIed;
Girl, 3, Saved

District firemen were kept
busy yesterday battling three
fires which severely damaged
two Northwest Washington
apartment houses and de-
stroyed an expensive yacht.
The first blaze broke out
aboard the yacht Dorcat at
her Washington Yacht Club
mooring on the Anacostia Riv-
er at 4 am, police said, when
three 16-year-old boys struck
a match while stealing gaso-
line from the boat.
The three were battling the
fire when firemen arrived at
the site, Fifteenth and Water
streets Sc. The youths at
first told police they had seen
the fire while they were pass
ing the club, but later admitted
starting the fire accidentally.
according to fifth precinct De-
tectives Alfred S. Hack and
Joseph M. O'Brien.
The owner, Richard Klemm,
of l0419 Inwood avenue, Silver
Spring, Md, plant manager
and engineering officer for the
de-Sunshine Laundry, said
he bought the 62-foot vessel a
year ago. He said only the
hull of the yacht could be
salvaged and added that its
replacement value today would
be $4,000. He said his insur-
ance policy recently had ex-
pired, police said.
One Awaits Court Action
One of the youths was sent
to the Receiving Home to await
Juvenile Court action. The
other two were released In
custody of their parents.

licemen we're the heroes of the
second fire which broke out a.
1912 pm. in an apartment a.

Pvts. Alexander P. Fury, 35,
and Allan J. Winston, 80. ran
into the thick smoke four times
to rescue a 3-year-old girl
trapped in the burning apart
ment. The two officers said
they were cruising past the
building when they saw smoke
pouring from a second-story
window and heard the girls

Oficials of the Smithsonian
Institution have developed a
new way to exhibit their air
planes. They have taken them
down from the ceiling and in
stalled them back on the
ground in a clean, wide-open
exhibition hall, which was once
an old hangar built during
World War I.
The Smithsonian's present
Aircraft Building" was erected
in 1917, a temporary" build
ing patterned after the air.
plane hangers of those days.
It was used to test engines
then being placed in military
aircraft"
After World War I, the
Smithsonian took over the
building and began collecting
and exhibiting aircraft. Space
disappeared, and the old build
ing took on the appearance
of a dusty, cramped Junk shop.
Recently, Congress finally
realized the problem of people
who save aifplanes. A new air
museum was authorized and
is now being designed. Plan
money probably will be re-
quested in the Smithsonian's
fiscal '62 budget.
New Walls, Flooring
Meanwhile, Philip S. Hop
kins, director of the air mu-
scum, and Paul E. CARRIER, head
curator, decided to do a little
experimenting with what they
had. The result is now open
to the public.
The old hangar was cleaned
out. New walls and new floor
ing were put in.
The Vim Fiz was taken apart
and rebuilt-precisely as the
Wrights had first pieced it to-
.gether. It was then set on the
floor inside a circular, modern

In addition to school con-
struction, the new legislation
provides for increased benefits
for police and f1remen, new
roads and parking lots, use Of
county prisoners on State
property and stiffened regula-
tions for trailer parks.
Extension Killed
Only one proposed bill was
turned down by the council.
That one called for extension
of the boundaries of the Lay
louisville fire district and for
an increase in the districts
minimum tax rate.
This proposed legislation,
which would have helped the
Laytonsville district raise mon
ey for a new fire engine, was
opposed by members of the
Damascus and Gaithersburg
companies.
In approving the 18 new
laws, the County Council OPP
Grated under a State law that
permits charter counties to ap-
prove bond issues and pass on
certain other legislative mat
ters without going to the Gen.
eral Assembly.
In addition to permitting
Montgomery County land Bal
timore County, to adopt local
laws, the State law also permits
charter counties to repeal
local acts of the General AS
Sembly.
Montgomery County's new
laws will go into effect August
is. Until then. the legislation
can be vetoed by the council
or held over for a November
referendum upon the petition
of 10000 citizens.
Bonds Authorized
In this years month of law
making, the County Council
enacted seven bills that author
ize issuance of capital improve
ment bonds.
The largest bond item is for
SIT million for school construc-
ton. Other authorizations are
for 81 million for roads, $685.
600 for public buildings, $780,
900 for a Kensington fire house
and 100000 each for parking
lots in Silver Spring. Bethesda
and Wheaton.
Mason A. Butcher, acting
county manager, said the bonds
would meet the county's needs
for the next two years.
He said the issues, which
probably will not be marketed
until early 1861, would pay for
items approved in earlier bud
get sessions but would not be
limited to expenditures out
lined in the 1860 budget.
The police benefit law ex-
tends payments to officers who
are disabled because their work
aggravate existing injuries or
diseases.
The County Council steered
clear of detailed legislation
dealing with flremen's benefits,
but asked for an enabling act
that would permit the govern

though we very much dislike
