Construction at Capitol
To Cost S1OO Million

All that building going on
around the New House Office
Building on Capitol Hill will
end. up costing the taxpayers
more than $100 million.
The main purpose of all the
construction is to give the 437

The investment works out to
more than 100000 for each
Representative.
Right now, the gaunt steel

building represents only $68
million of the $100 million-plus
cost Of House construction.
Another $9.5 million is slated
to be spent on remodeling the
New House Office Building next

Mr.. Robbins knows Balti-

Offered City Job
"In some places" he COM
mented, "it's so bad the sewer
is about to cave in.
AS he left the police station
untouched by the law, the
city's bureau of sewers took Mr.
Robbins up on his offer.
Leroy w. Drohan, general
superintendent of sewerage
maintenance, told the construc-
ton worker there was a place

Blind Children See The Star

A small group of nine highly
curious and intelligent chill
dren were introduced to the
mysterious mechanics of jour-
naliSm today.
They felt their way through
The Stars new plant at Second
and Virginia avenue S E.
And when it was over, they
chartered like ladies at a card
party-of freight cars, 1-ton
rolls of newsprint and q thing
called a Linotype.
The children are attending
a summer school program set
up by the Columbia Lighthouse
for the Blind. They are blind,
from 7 to 10 years old. and
brightly reported at the end of
today's tour they had seen"
how a newspaper works.
So far this season, they are
veterans of a trip through the

in a few days.
Their delicate fingers, at one
stop on today's tour, ran over
the keyboard of a Linotype ma
chine which is completely con-
| fusing to the sighted who are
more used to a typewriter. The
children took it all quite calm
lily. And as they felt the metal
words in a form they eagerly
asked what the words said.
They may have been disap-
pointed in learning the letters
spelled out: "Once-a-Year-
Sale"
Finally their hands closed
around a soft drink cup. And

Court Backs
Area Man in
Will Dispute

A Hyattsville area sheet

but So of a SAL, ,72o estate left
by a relative, a Trenton IN. j.
appellate court ruled yesterday.
The ruling favored the claim
of Lloyd F. Skinner. So, of 5001
Fifty-siXth avenue, Rogers
Heights, over that of a daughter
of the deceased relative. The
daughter, Mrs. Edith D. Nc
Cormick, of Suffern, N. Y. was
left only one dollar in the will
made out by the late Joseph E.
Valentine, of Livingston, N. j.,
who died in April, 1859, the
Associated Press reported.
Mr.. Skinner was brother of
Mr.. Valentines second wife,
Muriel, who died three years
ago. Mrs. Mccormick was Mr..
Valentines daughter by his first
wife. They were divorced in
1919, and Mr.. Valentine and his
daughter saw each other only
once in 40 years, it was re-
ported.
In his will, Mr.. Valentine
stipulated that his daughter
and his sister, Elizabeth E. VAL
entine, would get only a
dollar each and named other
relatives to share the rest of
the estate.
Mr.. Skinner, who has lived in
the Washington area since
1882, turned out to be the only
survivor Of the other relatives
and claimed the whole estate.
Mrs. Mccormick filed suit to
claim half of it.
A Superior Court judge
awarded it to her on grounds
she was the only legal heir.
Yesterday, however, the APP
pellate Division of Superior
Court of New Jersey overruled
the lower court judge. The court
said the law is designed to
carry out the wishes of a per-
son making a will, and that

by jaundice. Most of the time,
however, it just makes the pa
tient feel bad for a few days
and is difficult to diagnose with
out liver function tests.
1t is generally spread by di-
rect contact and often can be
prevented by keeping the hands
clean and bathing once a day.
Concern by businessmen in
this resort area over the rumors
has become so great that many
fear to speak of the matter.
Michael T. Fabrizio, a George
town real estate man who also
owns the Henlopen Hotel and
Motor Court here, said a num-
ber of Washington residents
have called him to inquire about
the hepatitis rumors. "I did the
same thing you did," he told
this reporter, 'and found out
from doctors and the hospital
they aren't true"
Nicholas Papajohn of 1924
South Ives street, Arlington,
who operates the Belhaven
Hotel, expressed concern about
the rumors but said business
over the Fourth of July week
end was good.
]. C. Stamper, a jeweler and
secretary of the Rehoboth
Chamber of Commerce, and
Willard Hill, a real estate man
and director of the chamber,
agreed that business is fairly
good but that such persistent
rumors could hurt the resort
trade seriously.
DR.. Hudson has been keep
ing a watchful eye on the sit
uation from the Health De-
partment in Dover, Del, and

reassure the community. There

In Robbery

The FBI early today arrested
two men, one here and the
other in r c h m o n d, and
charged them with robbing a
motorist of $170 on the Balti-

Sc. Joseph E. Holland, 80. an

Mr.. Claybrooks said he had
just been reunited with his

ration. Mrs. Claybrooks was
found unharmed at Smiths

DR.. Carl G. Pierce, jr., of Re-
hoboth told The Star.
The rumor of hepatitis dan
ger in the Rehoboth Beach ano
Lewes (Del) areas already has
caused some Washington area
residents to cancel summer
reservations, DR.. Pierce said.
The scare has not seriously
affected business yet, however
survey of local merchants
and hotel owners shows.
DR.. Pierce said the area is
experiencing an increase in in
cidence of infectious hepatitis
just as the rest of the country
is. Right now, he said, he
knows Of only two cases and
they are both Rehoboth resi-
dents.
The Beebe Hospital in near
by Lewes reported one hepatitis
victim hospitalized at present,
bringing its total since January
to nine. A few outpatientS
suffering from the virus infec-
ton of the liver have been
reported.
DR.. Floyd I. Hudson, execu-
tive secretary of the Delaware
State Health Department said
% cases have been reported
throughout the entire Reho-
both-LeweS area since January
/, hardly an epidemic"
Delaware State figures show
a total of 1873 cases this year
as of June 25, compared to 81
last year. A few months ago the
United States Public Health
Service predicted a Nationwide
increase this year in the dis
ease, which seems to come in
cycles of eight or 10 years.
Infectious hepatitis in this
country is seldom a serious dis
ease and many cases come and

Charles C. Marbury of the
lower court had upheld the
commissioners action of June,
1859, following an appeal by
opponents of the plan.
Arguments before the Court
of Appeals were heard last May
IL. Yesterdays verdict was
unanimous on the part of the
courts judges.
$50 Units Planned
The projected 556-unit de-
velopment had been planned
by the Pomponio Foundation
headed by Arthur Pomponio,
Arlington real estate developer.
1t was scheduled to be built on
a 44.5-acre tract northwest Of
Fort Foote road.
At the rezoning hearing, Mr..
Pomponio said the project was
planned for persons 60 years
old and over, but would not be
an "old folks home" as such.
Seven residents of the area
opposed it and appealed, first
with the Circuit Court and then
the Court of Appeals.
No Warrant for RezOning
In reversing the Prince
Georges Circuit Court ruling,
the high court said it was quite
clear that neither an error in
the original zoning nor any
change in conditions" to war
rant zoning change had been
established.
Testimony favorable to the
passage of the rezoning resolu-
ton was, in general, that there
was a need for this type of
housing for the elderly in every
locality. that this particular
location was excellent for thit
type of project, and that 1T
construction was feasible finan.
cially and otherwise and thai
1t would not affect the sur.
rounding area. While this testi.
mony would be relevant to sup
port a change in zoning where
mistake or change had already
been shown, it is not a Substi-
tute for it," the court said.

Herbert Harris, jr., fedora

ization's next step will be
decided next week by the
executive committee.
Mr.. Harris said he was
pleased" that all the super
visors favor the urban county
plan, commenting that the
argument is just on the tim
ing"
The federation last month
passed a resolution favoring
the urban county plan and
giving the executive committee
power to push for a referendum
in November.
The federation said at the
time that if the supervisors
did not ask for a referendum,
petitions signed by 5000 regis
tered voters would be forwarded
to the Circuit Court.
If the federation gathered
the necessary signatures, a
referendum could be held in
November.
The urban county plan is
aimed at allowing each area
of the sprawling county to de-
velop at its own speed.
The plan would allow each
area to request the services
that are needed. Only resi-
dents of that area would pay
for them.

f1ciency experts to talk with

In Fairfax

Nearly $50 persons turned out
yesterday to ask Fairfax Coun-

across a 50-foot-deep ravine to
connect two subdivisions and
to provide easy access to a new
intermediate school.
The supervisors, who viewed
the site on a recent countrywide
bus tour, agreed and said they
would spend up to $35,000 to
build the 1000 feet of road nec-
essary.
The road would connect the
subdivision of Parklawn and
Bancroft Terrace and would
provide a shorter route to the
Ellen GLASGOW intermediate
School, now under construction
Supervisor Stuart T. De Bell
commented: Il think this is an
other case where the school
board has acquired land with
out any access"
Mr.. De Bell was referring ap-
parently to an incident that oc-
CURED about two years age

new school in the Springfield
area had no ready access.
Supervisor James Keith said
1T beats me how they pick this
for a school site"
Board Chairman Anne Wilk-
ins. the supervisors representa-
tive on the Planning Commits
sion, said the commission had
studied the site very carefully

proval because there was nc
other site available of the right
size"

roads but the new road will
make it far easier to get to the
