SOME OF THOSE who have
looked at the painting have
pointedly ignored Opechan-
canough.
In 1865, S. D. Wyeth wrote
a book called the Federal
City. In his tour, he examined
the Baptism Of Pocahontas,
which he said he liked, but
in which he said "there is,
however, a blunder so glar-
ing that it is much to be
regretted the artist has not
been induced to correct it.

Wyeth continued, will fix
his eyes upon the figure of
Rolfe John Rolfe, who mar
ried Pocahontas) and then
walk slowly by the painting
he will find, to his surprise,
that it is impossible to deter
mine which is the right or
the left leg of the figure, as
they seem to change one to
the other as he passes to and
fro"
But Mr.. Wyeth made no
mention of the six toes.
Capt. John Smith probably
knew Opechancanough well
enough to have noticed, at
one time or another, the
remarkable left foot.
Shortly after the cap
tain arrived in Virginia, he
was captured by Opechan-
canough. Opechancanough
turned the captain over to
Powhatan, who was Ope-
chancanough's brother.
Powhatan then released the
captain. The captain then
captured Opechancanough.
Later, he released Opechan-
canough.

The
Rambler
+ :. Tells
Of q Toe
By JOHN McKELWAY

In the great Rotunda of the
Capitol there is an Indian,
Sulking in the shadows, and
he has six toes on his left
foot.
Opechancanough by name,
he is one of almost a tribe
Of painted Indians who are
either welcoming Columbus,
welcoming DeSoto or at
tending the B Baptism of
Pocahontas.
Opechancanough appears
in the latter painting, sitting
on a floor, in a crowd, and
looking straight ahead and
away from Pocahontas' for
NAL introduction to Christi
anity, at Jamestown, Va, in
1913.
Something is offering
him. 1t could be the six toes
and the embarrassment he
must have felt in any gath
ering. Or he is upset over the
detection of Pocahontas. Or
he is plotting to wipe out
jamestown in 1922, which he
came close to doing that very
same year.
Most authorities indicate
Opechancanough's DISPOSE
tion had nothing to do with
his toes. The six toes, actu-
ally, are rarely mentioned in
any description of the famous
painting, ordered by Congress
in 1886. The artist was an
area resident, cne John G.
Chapman Of Alexandria, who
worked on the painting in
an "improviSed studio in the
loft of a stable at 1910 G
street NV" according to a
report by a late Architect of
the Capitol.
Chapman, then, painted d
the six toes on Opechanca-
nough, but no one seems to
know exactly why, or if, in
fact, Opechancanough actu-
ally had six toes on his left
foot.
Evening star., 1960-01-21
CAPT. SMITH MAY HAVE

made some mention Of the
toes of Opechancanough, but
1t has been definitely estab-
lished he failed to report that
Pocahontas saved his life on
the chopping block. But that
story, like the toe, survives to
this day.
1t was after the baptism,
after John Rolfe returned to
England with Pocahontas
and tobacco, that Opechan-
canough tried to wipe out
Jamestown. He tried a second
time, in 1644-carried into
battle on a litter because Of
his age. He was captured and
shot by a guard and died the
same year.
Now and then a visitor in
the Rotunda notices the six
toes and demands an expla-
nation from the Office Of the
Architect of the Capitol. The
answer runs along these
lines: "The six toes on the
foot Of Opechancanough,
doubtless were as the artist
depicted them. The painter
was a craftsman of distinc-
ton, and 1t is unlikely that,
as a trained bserver, he
would make an error"
Today it is impossible to
count the toes. All the
paintings in the Rotunda
have been covered up until
the work on the dome Is
completed.

Land Agency yesterday was not
entirely new, but rather an
elaboration Of earlier prelim-
mary plans. 1t was the first
time the RIA has said def
nitely that it would provide a
place on the waterfront for the
seafood merchants and small
restaurants.
Seeking Sites
The early plans provided for
relocation of two large Maine
avenue restaurants-Hogate's
and the Flagship-on the
waterfront. Hogate's is nego-
tiating for a pier site between
Ninth and Tenth streets S.W.,
and the Flagship owners seek
a pier restaurant at the foot
of M street.
The new feature in the plan
is a large building in between
which would house retail and
wholesale seafood stores and
small raw bars and restaurants,
Among the restaurant oper-
ators who received the RLA's
new proposal with skepticsm
was Winthrope G. Stanford,
owner of Stanford's Restau-
rant.
Skeptical of Plan
II don't put any stock in
anything the RIA says" he
commented. They change
plans every week. Their plans
aren't worth the paper they're
printed on. I'll wait and see
what Mr.. Mcmillan and Mr.,
Beall do"
George A. Carroll, who has
operated a wholesale seafood
business on the waterfront for
Al years, was pleased by the
new plan, but said it did not
solve his immediate need for
a new place of business. He
said he would move back to
the waterfront if other fish
stores and restaurants did.
The waterfront businesses
named in Judge Walkers de-
cision include, in addition to

the case. the opinion by Chief
Judge E. Barrett Prettyman de-
clared.
The Appeals Court directed
District Court Judge Joseph r.
Jackson to find Isaac not guilty
because of insanity and re-
versed the jury's verdict of
guilty for first-degree murder.
Judge Jackson had ordered
Isaac electrocuted.
The court noted that Isaac
must remain in st. Elizabeths
Hospital until the hospital SUI
perintendent and the court
both find he will be harmless
in the foreseeable future. A
conditional release may be
granted by the superintendent
and the court without recovery
Of sanity only If Isaac is not
dangerous to himself and 9TH
ers in the reasonable future,
the court said.
Brother Manned
Isaac. 81, had taken two
brothers. 4 and 6. to his apart
ment in the 900 block Of C
street NV. and cut their
throats. The older one died and
the younger one was manned.
The act took place after Isaac
had quarreled with their moth
er. with whom he had been in
innate for several years.
Judge Prettyman said there
was mo serious question"
about the Staying, in Novem-
ber. 1855, and that Isaac's sole
defense was insanity.
Police said Isaac attacked the
boys a few hours after agree
ing before an assistant United
States attorney to stop bother
ing their mother, Mrs. Ruby E.
Nathan Of the 2300 block Of
Champlain street NV. She had
broken up with him a month
before the killing, but he kept
trying to see her and threat
ened her, police said.
When the woman refused to
meet him, he went to her home
and took away Dwight, who
was killed, and his younger
brother Tyrone.
In Hospital 3 Years
After his arrest, Isaac was
sent to st. Elizabeth's Hospital.
Three years later he was found
to be competent to stand trial.
But the appellate court said
today, two staff psychiatrists
from the hospital made it clear
during the trial they believed
Isaac mentally i'll at the time
the Staying took place. Two
other psychiarists testified that
the killing was linked to Isaac's
mental illness, Judge Pretty
man pointed out.

Land Agency to provide places
Of business for them on the
rebuilt waterfront.
Reactions to the land agency's
proposal were mixed. Some of
the restaurant owners were
pleased that plans now include
a place for them, even if it
means going out of business
for a year or two while a new
waterfront is built.
No Temporary Home
Others repeated the COM
plant they have made many
times before: That the RLA's
plans do not provide a tempo
rary location on the water
front. Some of the waterfront
businessmen said the cost of
moving to other parts of the
city and then coming back to
the waterfront would be pro-
hibitive.
Judge Walker indicated in
his decision that the District
has no responsibility for relo-
eating the evicted tenants Of
the city-owned fish market.
Any relief for the tenants, he
said, must be granted, if at
all. by Congress-"
Two bills have been intro
duced on behalf of the water
front businessmen. Legislation
sponsored by Chairman Nc
MILAN Of the House District
Committee would establish a
National Fisheries Center on
the waterfront. 1t would in
clude restaurants and Seafood
stores as we'll as a variety of

ing facilities.
Market Bill
Senator Beall, Republican of
Maryland. introduced a meas
ure which would authorize con-
struction of new fish market
ION or near the waterfront"
Neither of these measures
would provide an immediate
solution. The District plans to
move out the nine merchants
named in today's decision with
in a few days. Eviction pro-
ceedings are pending against
three other Arms and the Dis
trict hopes to get them out
within weeks.

Eisenhower VetGeS Bill
Which Would Have
Regulated Alaska RI.

WASHINGTON, lR- President
Eisenhower Thursday vetoed a
bill which would have provided
federal and state regulation of the
government owned Alaska Rail
road.
EisenhoWer's veto message said
he could not approve the measure
because it would subordinate
some of the Presidents powers to
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission; that it would allow a
state to regulate a federal agency
and generally apply to the Al
aska Railroad rules and proceed
ures appropriate for private,
but not a government enterprise.
Eisenhower suggested that ulti-
mately the railroad might be dis
posed of by the federal govern
ment, after which it could be
regulated as others are.

INTERIOR DEPT. OKAYS PROPOSAL TO OPEN
DEVELOPMENT UNDER MINERAL LEASING LAW

WASHINGTON, ,RA-The Inter
ior Department yesterday gave its
blessing to a proposal to open %
million acres of northern Alaska
to private development under the
mineral leasing laws.
The department sent its en-
dorsement to the Senate Armed
Services Committee which has be-
fore it a bill to abolish Naval
Petroleum Reserve No. A and
tarnsfer jurisdiction over the area
from the Navy to the Interior De-
partment.
The reserve, established in 1923,
embraces about $4,000 square
miles between the Brooks Range
and the Arctic Ocean. Barrow is
the only major settlement.
Under the proposal, lands with
in the range would be returned
10 the public domain and made
available for mining claims, min

private development.
The department based its sup

Robert H. Anderson said, "In

If the bill had passed, the state
would have been able to pass on
intrastate rates and regulations,
Anderson said. "That is something
that has never been done"
In addition the bill would have
meant one government agency
would have been regulating an
other. The manager also agreed
