Parking Lot Request
Stirs Mellow N Street

the parking lot are 1871, 1888
and 1875 N street. A real
estate man, Henry E. Nichols
of S507 Irvington avenue, Be-
thesda, who recently acquired
the properties, has petitioned
for a rezoning permit.
Mr.. Nichols told the zoning
board he first had planned to
convert the old homes into
Offices but found it would oe too
costly. He now plans a 48-
space parking lot opening onto
N street.
Culver 3. Chamberlain, an
attorney representing so per-
sons opposed to the parking lot,
said the mellow facades" of
the buildings on the block give
it "a unique character not
unlike the Mayfair section of
London.
He also noted historical as
poets of the street, particularly
involving the building at 1888
N street. This is the home
where Theodore Roosevelt spent
the night when he returned to
Washington after the death of
President Mckinley.
The structure was also the
home of the Franklin D. Roose-
velt family when Roosevelt was
Assistant Secretary of the
Navy.

Mrs. Phillips Hits
Failure to Note
Track Levels

Some District high schools
are giving colleges an erroneous
impression of student achieve
ments by failing TO record
track assignments on official
transcripts, a School Board
member has charged.
Mrs. Frank S. Phillips, board
vice president, said yesterday
it doesn't seem fair" to the
colleges or to the students
themselves.
Not recording the assignment
means that the "A" in English
of a student in the basic track
for retarded children, for
instance, could not be dis
tinguished from the "A" an
honors student might get in q
tough, advanced English course.
Assistant Supt. John D.
Koontz expressed surprise at
Mrs. Phillips charge. Any
school not marking the track
assignment, he said, is working
in direct violation of our

More than 100 workers at

months because of completion

ager, said IS of the number
were engineers. The rest were
non-technical supporting per-
Sonnel, he said.
The company official said the
layoffs were a normal personnel
f1uctuation and did not result
from the loss of any of the
firms defense contracts.
He estimated that the de-
crease in personnel would lower
the company'S payroll in the
Metropolitan Area about ST
million.
Mr.. Bostick said the COM
pany,' which has nine plants in
the Washington area, employed
5,l06 persons last March and
now employs $3.50 despite the
recent cutback.
This indicates that the COM
pany has grown in the past
year despite the layoffs, he said
The company manager said
Melpar may discharge still
more workers as it completes
other contracts. However. he
noted that the company often
experiences a furry" of bust
ness near the end of the Gov
ernment'S fiscal year in June.
Mr.. Bostick said he was un-
able to say which completed
contracts had required the lay
offs. He said he assumed the
former employees had obtained
other jobs.

Speed on
Juvenile Bill

Senator Morse, Democrat Of
Oregon. told the Senate today
that the conscience of Con-
gress" should be shocked by
the delay of legislation to pro-
vide two additional judges for
the District Juvenile Court.
The Senate approved new
judges April 10, 1859.
1T now is more than a year
since Senate action on the bill
and it languisheS still on the
other side of Capitol Hill, "
Senator Morse declared in a
Senate speech.
The effect on youngsters of
|long-drawn-out court cases is
dangerous, the Senator stressed.
He said Congress must not
stand by idly when it is in the
power of its members to help
prevent potential delinquents
from growing into hardened
law offenders.
The Juvenile Court bill was
the subject of hearings before
a subcommittee headed by
Representative Davis of Georgia
on July %, and December 10
and IL, of last year.
Mr.. Davis has declined to
predict when the subcommittee
may act. Transfer of jurisdic-
ton over adult and no-support
cases from Juvenile Court to
other courts has been suggested
by Mr.. Davis as an alternative
to the expansion of the one
man bench.

CIRCUMFERENTIAL
DELAY SEEN
JOrth Virginia AIIotments

RICHMOND, Va, April 2l.-
Virginia highway officials said
today that the Virginia portion
of the Washington circum-
ferential highway probably will
not be completed until 1865.
The completion date is about
three years beyond that orig
inally estimated.
D. B. Fugate, assistant chief
en- gineer for the highway
department, said however, that
most of the highway will be
completed before 1865. He said
that considerable delay has re-
suited from the fact that Route
sc has not been finally estab-
lished, causing delay in plan
ming an interchange at that
point.
The State Highway Commits
ton today officially named the
circumferential the Capitol
Beltway." The Maryland State
Roads Commission already had
given that name to the Mary
land section.
About half the Maryland
section of the beltway is ex-
pected to be completed by 1865.
However, Maryland officials
now have no target date for
completion of the remainder
most of which will be in Prince
Georges County.
The Virginia Highway Com
mission today also approved a
$250,000 ALLEGATION for an ac-
cess road between the Dulles
Airport and Route 7.
Congress has appropriated
$3.50, 900 for the Route 7 con-
nection. Mr.. Fugate said this

The Fine Arts Commission
isn't easy to convince, no mat
ter how much an architect likes
his own building.
Vlastimil Koubeck of Wash
ington came before the COM
mission yesterday looking like
a professor of architecture and
went out looking like a fresh
man who had f1unked his final
exams.
Things started off cordially
enough. Mr.. Koubek strobe
into the green-carpeted room
atop the Interior Department
Building, shook hands with the
five commission members seated
at the rectangle of tables, and
proceeded to the bulletin board
up front.
The sketch of the build
ing Mr.. Koubek had designed
showed one of those modern
Office buildings with wide ex-
panSes of glass separated by
narrow ribs of metal with some
marble thrown in. The Inter-
national Bank of Washington
wants to build the 12-story
structure on the northwest cor
ner of Pennsylvania avenue

LAS far as I am concerned, "
said Mr.. Shipley, Senator
Morse is a far better choice
than Senator Humphrey" of
Minnesota. the Oregon Senator's
rival in the primary campaign.
Senator Morse is closely
identified with the District
while Senator Humphrey is as
sociated with a lot of outside
influences from Detroit and
doesn't pay much attention to
the District except at national
convention time" said Mr..
Shipley.
Republican Votes for Morse
Morse is very popular all
over town and some Repub-
llicans have changed their party
affiliations just SO they could
vote for him." Mr.. Shipley
continued. Morse serves as a
kind of representative for the
District"
Mr.. Shipley's remark about
outside influences from Detroit
was apparently a reference to
Walter Reuther, head of the
United Auto Workers Union,
AFL-CIO.
When informed of Mr.. Ship
ley's statement, Senator Morse
described the Republican chair
man as "a man of good judg-
ment."
However, Mr. Shipley's praise
for Senator Morse sparked
criticism from a Republican
insurgent candidate and the

an attempt at that character
but isn't it,"

to feel the same way: Felix w

sculptor; David E. Finley, for
mer director of the National
Gallery of Art; Douglas w.
Orr, New Haven Conn archi-

the commission were ABSENT
Officially the commission re-
served judgment on the design
at least until Mr.. Koubek left
the room. Then, while passing
on prospective purchases by the
Freer Gallery. the commission
decided to suggest that Mr..
Koubek modify his design.
The commission ultimate
weapon is to ask the District
Board of Commissioner not to
issue a building permit. The
District usually follows the
Arts Commissions advice.
