Senators Back
Corridor Foes
In Road Fight
Tell U. S. Officials
To Consider Route
Favored by Area

A Senate committee has
thrown new weight behind op-
ponentS of the Wisconsin ave-
nue. corridor as a route for a
new interstate expressway.
The Public Works Committee
yesterday told Federal road Of
flcials, in effect, that they must
consider a different route if
District and Maryland officials
believe it superior.
This presumably means the
So-called north-central corridor
east of Rock Creek Park, al
ready favored by local highway
Iagencies.
The action by the influential
works unit, which oversees Fed
eral highway road spending,
took the form of comment in
serted in a report accompany
ing a pending highway fund
authorization bill.
The move was proposed by
Senators Case, Republican of
South Dakota, and Muskie,
Democrat of Maine, who last
week heard road officials and
other witnesses on the long
disputed Route 240 problem.
Tallamy Stands Ground
Federal Highway Administra-
tor Bertram D. Tallamy said at
the hearing that he had not
been given evidence justifying
a route other than the Wiscon-
sin corridor for the proposed
highway, designed to complete
a link between the District and
Frederick, Md. He cited an
interstate highway rule that
routes be as direct as prac-
ticable.
The works unit, however, |
pointed to a legal requirement |
for giving equal consideration
to local needs. The commit
tee, at Senator Cases urging, |
told highway officials to give !
full consideration" to this re-
quirement.
At Senator MuSkie's Sugges-
ton, the unit also approved a
statement declaring that, while
the Wisconsin route is to be
submitted to Federal officials
in connection with new high |
way cost estimates due in Con-
greSS next January, this will
not commit anyone to the
route. t
District. Maryland and Fed
eral officials already have
agreed to review data on the
Route 240 problem with a view
toward seeking agreement.
Law Called Flexible
Senator Muskie, in a letter
to Senator Mcnamara. Demo-
crat of Michigan, chairman of
the Roads Subcommittee of the
works unit, said Federal law is
flexible enough to permit Sc
lecting whatever route may
finally appear most desirable.
He also declared that Mary
land and District highway Of
ficials, under the law, have the
right to initiate proposed high
way actions and that the Bu-
reau of Public Roads has mere
ly the right of approval or dis
approval.
In March, Harold L. Aitken,
District highway director, an
nounced that Mr.. Tallamy had .
rejected the north-central route
in favor of Wisconsin avenue
despite arguments by District
officials and objections from
many civic groups to the Wis
consin location.
Mr.. Tallamy at last weeks
hearing blamed the siuation on
a misunderstanding" Sena-
tor Case later said he had been
assured by Bureau of Public
Roads official that the agency
would not insist on the Wis
conSin corridor.

In another cloSed-door ses-
sion the Montgomery County

Prince Georges Planners Okoy
7 Sample Homes at Bowie roct

later be converted to perma-
nent residences.
After yesterdays discussion
the planning board voted to
allow issuance of temporary
building permits that would
have to be renewed every six
months. If the permits are
not renewed, officials said, the
homes must be torn down.
The action is an exception
to the usual rule that building
permits will not be issued until
a subdivisions design has been
approved. Levitt & Sons, de-
velopers of the huge project,
have not filed these papers.
In a letter to the board,
Levitt & Sons had agreed to
tear down the sample homes
if they do not conform to the
subdivision design eventually
approved by the planners, it
was reported.
Start at $4,000
Planners said the display
would show the different types
of homes, which they said
mnge in price from $4,000 to
$25, 900. Levitt repeatedly hopes
to complete the sample homes
by october.
Preliminary plans for the de-
velopment call for about two
homes per acre. A total of 1000
homes are planned on the tract,
about Is miles east Of WASH
ington.
The homes will be built on
the Belair estate, formerly used

CriminoIIy Insane Face
New Barriers to Release
Appeals Court Ruling Interprets
Dangerous Offense in New Light
BY CARL IRVING
Star STAFF Writer

The Districts crimnaly insane face much tougher legal
hurdles in their gain their freedom from mental
institutions here after two important rulings today by the
United States Court of Appeals.
In one case, the court said for the first time that
violent crime considered dangerous under the Districts
Evening star., 1960-06-23

gress provided several years
ago that a person acquitted by
reason of insanity must remain
| in a mental institution until he
proves he is no longer danger
Gus to himself or others.
The word dangerous" had
previously been interpreted as
including persons who were
charged with violent crimes,
such as murder, assault or
robbery. But today's case in
volved a man who had been
charged with writing worthless
checks.
Proof Is Stiffened
In another decision, the court
held that in order to get out of
st, Elizabeths Hospital, a de-
fendant had to prove beyond a
reasonable doubt that he was
no longer dangerous. Until to-
day the court had stated that
a defendant only needed to
prove his harmleSsneSs through
a mere preponderance of the
evidence.
But, the court ruled, an in
sanity acquittal assumes that
the defendant did in fact COM
nit the criminal act charged
and therefore there must be
strict standards to determine
whether he can rejoin society
1t is quite possible, said the
court, that a person acquitted
by reason of insanity from a
charge that would have re-
quired only a maximum SEN
tence of 18 months in Jail may
be confined in st. EliZabeths
"for two. five or 10 years-or
even beyond that"
Judge Fahy DissentS
This statement drew a strong
dissent from Judge Charles
Fahy, who answered:
1T is by no means clear
that society can continue tC
deprive a person of liberty by
attributing to a jury's doubt
about his mental condition
which led to his acquittal ano
mandatory commitment, any
and all evil or criminal pro-
pensities he may be thought tc
have, and to keep him in con-
finement because of them.
This would transform the
hospital into a penitentiary
where one could be held in
definitely for no committed
offenSe, and this even though
the offense of which he was
previously acquitted because OF
doubt as to his sanity might
not have been one of the more
serious felonieS."
Fear Injury to Others
In the first case. involving
Robert Stanley Russell, the
alleged bad check writer, the
| court said:
; I'VE think the danger to the
public need not be possible
, physical violence or a crime o1
violence. 1t is enough thai
there is competent evidence
that he may commit any Grim
, inal act, for any such act will
) injure others and will expose
the person to arrest, trial anc
; conviction. There is also the
additional possible danger-not

District officials aren't happy
about congressional committee
suggestion that they delay fin
ishing a partially built auto
tunnel to make provision for a
! possible new rail subway.
The Senate District Commit
tee. acting on the recommended
tion of the Joint Committee on
Washington Metropolitan Prob
lens. composed Of Senate and
House members, urged that
serious consideration" be given
to rescheduling completion of
the so-called Twelfth Street ex-
pressway to take account of
tentative subway plans.
The expressway, a $3.3 mil
lion, three-lane, mostly under
ground link between Constitu-
ton avenue NV. and Inde-
pendence avenue S.W., which
is to pass under the Mall, has
been under way since last
November. 1t is now about 16
per cent complete, an official
said.
Tentative Subway Plans
The subway line, proposed for
the same location with an
underground terminal next to
the Agriculture Department, is
part of a tentative rapid
transit rail system proposed a
year ago by area planning
agencies, with the approval of
the District Commissioners and
the District Highway Depart
ment. The overall subway
system. including four lines
linking downtown with the
suburbs, is tentatively estimated
to cost $500 million.
Authorization to set up new
agency to design the rail system
was cleared Tuesday by the
Senate unit. The bill goes be-
fore the House District Com
mittee today.

SLAUGHTER BEACH

The Town Commissioners of
Slaughter Beach will hold a Spe-
cial Session on Friday evening,
May 20, at the cottage of Council
man Ponder Morgan for the pur-
pose of electing a President of the
Board, left vacant by the sudden
death of Mr. w. H. Draper. whose
term of office would have expired
in July of this year.
The Commissioners will also be
faced with the problem of the ap-
pointnent of Tax Collector. Mr..
Draper also served in this capaci-
ty.
All appointments at the Special
meeting, with the exception of Tax
Collector, will serve only until the
regular election in July when a
complete member Board is up for
election. This unusual situation
was brought about in the 1859 cleo
tion when there were no candidates
to file to succeed Mr.. Ponder Nor
gan, Mr.. Heyman Roosa and Mr..
Spencer Willis, and the three coun-
cilmen did not file for reelection.
A provision of the Town Charter
in such cases provides that the
Councilmen in office shall serve for
an additional year or until his or
her successor is elected. Since the
three councilmen named did not
file in the year 1959-6O and no one
filed for any of the three vacan-
cies, they continued to serve until
the 1860 July election, at which
time the remaining two, Mr.. Dra-
per and Mr. Herbert Heller's terms
expire leaving a full five-member
Board to be elected in July. In or
der to re-establish the stagger
system of the charter of two men,
bers being elected one year for a
two-year term and three the next
year for the same period of time,
the Commission will have to prob
ably go back to the time the first
Council was organized and follow
the dictates for the coming elec-
tion in July by electing two Coun-
cilmen for one year and three for
two-year term.
Plans for the activities of the
Memorial Fire Company at Slaugh-
ter Beach have been completed for
the 1860 season for some time and

being made or no assurances from
the mosquito control that spraying
would be available. There still are
no assurances from them that even
one spraying will be made during
the season which left the commit
tee with one decision, abandon
any outside activities or find ways
and means of assuring protection;
arrangements have been made with
the Milford Air Park for daily
spraying of the Beach during the
activity if needed; the cost of
which will have to be born by the
Fire Company. The tentative plans

to follow. The Ladies Auxiliary
will hold a covered dish supper
for the members and their wives
on Tuesday evening, June 14th, at
1880 p. m. Mrs. Irene Kitchens,
President of the Auxiliary group,
is in charge of the arrangements.
The annual solicitation of funds
will be held on Sunday, July 3rd.
starting at 100 p. m.
The Big Thursday Home Coming

Flamo Explosion, Fire Wrecks Gallagher Home

Considerable damage was done to the Dick Gallaher residence on 1st Ave. just before noon today when a Flamo tank exploded. It is reported that the explosion oc- cured when the tank, a leaking one, was being hooked up. The tanks were located in the fur mace room.
 Most of the fire damage was in the attic and between the walls. The fire was very hard to get at the fire department explained, due to the fact that under the asbestos Siding, the house is com- pletely covered with galvanized iron.
 The entire interior of the house suffered water damage.
 No foam was used, explained Fire Chief Marvik, as it is not used on wooden houses unless the fire is of oil or gasoline nature.
