County Councilman Stanley
Frosh outbid 500 other people
yesterday for a bicycle at the
annual Montgomery police auc-
ton without putting up any
money.
He had a prior claim. The BIZ
cycle was stolen from his son
Brian about four months ago
and Mr.. Frosh has been look
ing for it ever since.
Police Supt. James S. Nc
Auliffe, serving as, clerk at the
auction, set aside the bike after
Detective" Frosh staked his
claim.
Mr.. Frosh said the bike was
q birthday present to his son.
It was stolen from the lot at
North Bethesda High School.
Brian, Is. will pick up the bike
when he returns from a trip
to Europe, Mr.. Frosh said.
The annual sale of articles
which were conflScated, aban-
doned, or otherwise in police
custody, brought in about ST.

Items ranged from automo-

yelling has proposed sharply
frightened District regulations
on smoke control, including a
ban on outdoor burning OF
leaves, refuse and rubbish.
Commissioner yelling said a
public hearing on these pro-
posed regulations will be held
in the last week of August or
first week Of September.
This is another phase Of the
campaign the Commissioner is
waging against air pollution. A
public hearing already has been
scheduled for late August on q
three-point program Commits
sioner yelling proposed earlier
this month to crack down on
excessive exhaust fumes from
cars.
At present, outdoor burning
Of leaves and rubbish is allowed
If a permit is obtained from
the District Government.
The proposed smoke control
regulations also would cut by
about two-thirds the density
of smoke permitted from
chimneys and stacks.
Commissioner yelling said
that eventually the District
should have a regulation which
would prohibit all visible smoke
from stacks.
Both 1t. Col. Charles S. Mac
Weigh, Assistant Engineer Com
missioner, and r. Donald Kin
ney, deputy director of the
Department of Licenses and
Inspections, had reported to
Commissioner yelling that
there have been many COM
plants about the burning of
trash and scrap material from
wrecked homes.
Col. MacVeigh said that I'M
til 1854 it was illegal to burn
trash in outdoor 1ires in the
District. However, he said, an
amendment was passed then
allowing issuance of permits
for burning of trash to facili-
tate razing operations in the
Southwest urban renewal area.
1.-THE 1854 amendment,
though adopted with worthy
purpose and intention, has
been grossly abused" Col. Mac
Weigh said in a report to Com
missioner yelling.
Contractors and other per-
sons have burned all kinds of
trash over long periods. Resi-
dents and businessmen have
seen their areas plagued with
irritating and unsightly smoke,
while they themselves have
been prohibited from burning
in the open even the minor
amount of litter from home
and office"
Col. MacVeigh said that he
realized the proposed ban on
outside burning of trash would
impose a degree of hardship
and expense for certain per-
sons and firms, such as build
ing contractors" who would
have to transport the material
to some disposal place.
However, he said, this re-

Virginia motorists who use
Arlington boulevard will be able
to drive across the new Theo-
dore Roosevelt Bridge after all.
The Federal Bureau Of Pub
lie Road has agreed to pay 90
per cent Of the cost Of the
Arlington boulevard link with
the bridge.
The new bridge. foundations
OF which recently were put
under construction, is expected
to be opened to traffic in Janu-
airy, 1868. Highway officials in
Richmond said they are start
ing property appraisals on the
Virginia end and, with Federal
financing assured, will begin
buying land soon.
District highway officials
said yesterday it had been as
sumed that the Federal Gov
eminent, which is paying 80
per cent of the cost Of the new
Roosevelt span, was expecting
to bear a similar share on the
approach roads.
The roads bureau, however,
recently notified Virginia off,
Gals that only part of the con-
nections-those to the prof.
ected Interstate Route &C.
would be covered. Bureau Off
Gals said connections to nera-
by Arlington boulevard, Route
so, would not.
Virginia must pay only 10
per cent of the cost of so-called
interstate highways, but Route
so is not such a route.
Until the new decision, Vir-
ginia would have had to pay
half the cost on Route so
links, with the Federal Gov
eminent paying the other half.

the funds were not available.
For several weeks the situation
appeared to be an impasse, but
it was finally ironed out in
conferences here and in Rich

Cost figures on the ap-
proach roads have not yet been
definitely fixed, officials said.
The bridge has an authorized
cost ceiling of $24.5 million.
The roadway layout has been
virtually approved but is now
being reviewed In Richmond

y. S. Agrees to Pay 9O%
Of Arlington Bridge Link
PAROLE FAULTS ADMITTED
How Slayer Went Free

The psychiatrist also com.
mented that the only change
that prison had made in Guth-
RE was to give him a fear OF
returning to prison. This fear
said the psychiatrist. was strong
enough to keep him on the
track for a year.
Mr.. Rivers commented: 1.-THE
psychiatrist had indicated tt
US that he felt Guthrie was
responding well to treatment
and saw nothing in his be-
havior to indicate any cause fol
alarm.
There is no question We
made a mistake. Our judgment
was wrong in believing that
with psychiatric treatment anc
close parole supervision we hac
enough safeguards"
Lawyer Files Writ
AS for not issuing a warrant
Immediately to put a detainer
on Guthrie and keep him in
custody, Mr.. Rivers said parole
authorities were lulled into a
false sense of security by as
suming that Guthrie would not
be released on bond.
Guthrie's lawyer, Ignatius
Keane, filed a writ of habeas
corpus and GuShrie's release
was ordered June 8 by Prince
Georges County Circuit Court
on $4,000 bond, which was
furnished by a professional
bondsman.
Mr.. Keane said he would not
have filed the writ if the parole
authorities had issued a war;
rant.
After Guthrie'S release, the
parole board did issue a parole
violator's warrant on June 6.
By that time, it was too late.
Guthrie had fed.
Mr.. Keane said Guthrie's
relatives kept insisting to him
that Guthrie woulG SHOW up for
arrajgnment June 90. He didn't.
The psychiatrist had this to
say about the case: cts regret
table that this wasn't handled
with disqualification to start
with as the judge recon-
mended. OF course, there's no
guar. ntee that another course
would have worked better. The
whole thing is very unfortunate
particularly letting him out
on bond. Even if he beat the
rape charge, he still faced IL
years in prison after the parole
violations. The opportunity to
run away was more of a temp
tation than one could expect
most people unLer the circum-
stances to withstand"

The FBI search for the 1870.
pound, 6-footer got under way
last week when Guthrie failed
to appear for arraignment after
a Maryland grand jury indicted
him.
Subsequent investigation has
disclosed that Guthrie fled the
very day he was freed on bond
June 3.
Mr.. Rivers said his office
erred in recommending Guthrie
for parole-for which he had
an eXplanation-and in failing
to file a detainer against him
promptly as a parole violator
which would have kept him in
custody.
But interviews about the
Guthrie case with attorneys
psychiatrists and court officials
indicate that the mistakes
weren't limited to the parole
authorities.
Sex Victim Died
Guthrie was convicted in
1852 of the sex-murder of a
44-year-old woman, who died
in December, 1851, of peritoni-
tbs and other complications
from the assault.
Guthrie was given a mental
examination before his trial.
His conviction was affirmed on
appeal. In sentencing Guthrie,
District Court Judge Henry A.
Schweinhaut recommended that
he serve his five-to-20 year SEN
tence in an institution where
he could receive psychiatric
treatment.
Records in the parole Office
show that Guthrie was given
a pSychiatric examination at
the Federal Reformatory at
Lewisburg. Pa, where the find
ing was an inadequate per-
sonality" whose difficulties were
traceable to compulsive drink
ing.
After two years at Lewisburg
Guthrie was transferred to
Lorton Reformatory at the re-
quest of his mother and two
sisters, who claimed it was diff.
ficult for them to travel to
Lewisburg to see him.
Guthrie and his family first
sought a parole in 1857. but
were turned down.
In 1859, his relatives sought
reconsideration of parole on
the ground that he had not re-
ceive psychiatric treatment in
prison and could get it on the
outside.
His relatives asked permis-
sion to have him examined by
a private psychiatrist. They
proposed that if a psychiatrist
indicated he could safely be
released with psychiatric treat
ment as a proviso, the board
should consider it.

The parole board agreed to
the examination and a private
psychiatrist found that Guthrie
was suffering from psychonero-
sis associated with periodic
compulsive drinking. Mr.. Rivers
said the psychiatrist verbally
assured the board that if psy-
chiatric treatment was made a
condition of the parole, it would
be safe to release him.
I'VE reasoned this way" said
Mr.. Rivers. IF he stayed in
custody until 1866. which would
be the period for a good
conduct release, he would come
into the community with no
psychiatric treatment and little
chance of getting any. Our ex-
perience has been that the pub
lie clinic are filled up with q
long waiting list and they can't
take the PAROLES we refer to
them, So. unless the family is
willing to pay for it, they don't
get psychiatric treatment. We
had Guthrie's family sign a
statement that they were will
ing to finance the treatment"
Guthrie was put on parole
on condition that he take
regular psychiatric treatment,
live with his sister and her hus-
band and be regularly en-
ployed.
Bottom Falls Out
Mr.. Rivers said that as far
as parole authorities knew, he
was living up to the conditions.
He said the parole officer
checked on Guthrie personally
three times a month, visited
him at his home and on his
various painting jobs, and Pc
riodically interviewed his rela-
tives.
The psychiatrist reported to
the parole board in March that
Guthrie was keeping his ap-
pointments - at first two a
month. later one a month
that he had made a good ad-
justment on parole and that no
psychiatric symptoms had ap-
peared. BY March, he had seen
Guthrie IL times.
The psychiatrist, as he re-
ported later, saw him two more
times.
And then the bottom fell out.
AS the psychiatrist reported
after Guthrie in May was &C
cused of rape and sodomy in
the case of a woman picked up
in a bar, Guthrie's self-control
was inadequate to prevent the
eruption of sadistic and sexual
impulses when he was under
the influence of alcohol.

For Ratification
81 forget Date
Set for Suffrage

An extensive program to
press for ratification of the
proposed constitutional amend
ment giving District residents
the right to vote for President
and Vice President will be
launched after the Republican
National Convention.
F. Elwood Davis, chairman OF
the Citizens Joint Committee
on National Representation for
the District of Columbia, said
yesterday that once the Re-
publicans have indorsed ma
tional representation In their
platform. as the Democrats
have done, the campaign for
ratification viii begin.
Approval by the legislatures
Of 80 States is required before
the amendment becomes law
One State, Hawaii, already
has voted approval of the
amendment.
Approved in Hawaii
Mr.. Davis said the commit
tee will write the Governors
Of all the States urging them
to recommend favorable action
on the proposed amendment
to their legislatures.
He added that the commit
tee also will provide the lead
ers of the Senate and House
in each legislature detailed in
formation on the proposed
amendment.
This will be followed I'D he
added, by kilograms to legis-
lative leaders just before each
legislature meets.
Mr.. Davis, who appeared on
the WTOP-TV City Side pro-
gram, said he did not know
OF any States that will oppose
ratification of the amendment.
He added that since AZ State
legislatures will be in session
next year, he believes the
amendment may become law
in 1861.
Sees Voting Gain
Mr.. Davis said that once the
amendment becomes law he be-
lieves the voting total here will
increase sharply over the turn
out of about 10000 at the Dis
trict's May 3 primary.
Mr.. Davis described as cruel
one provision in the proposed
constitutional amendment lin
iting the number of electors for
the District to the number to
which the least populous State
is entitled.
But he said that while this
clause is hard language and
rather insulting to the Dis
trict," he does not think it will
have much practical effect.
Mr.. Davis explained that he
doubts the population of Wash
ington is likely to increase suf-
f1ciently to entitle it to more
than the three electors to hich
it would be eligible now.
