Fuiirfux Gets
$40 Million
Housing

A $40 million, 1900 unit
apartment project last night
was proposed for a 30-acre
tract near historic Woodlawn
Plantation in Fairfax County.
The project, on land owned
by the Bernard Fagelson fam
lily, would be engineered with
the special needs of senior citi-
zens in mind. II would be
financed under the provisions
of the liberalized cooperative
housing law enacted five weeks
ago by Congress. Former Dis
trict Commissioner Robert G.
Mclaughlin and former Repre-
sentative John r. Foley from
Maryland's sixth district, are
among the members of the
corporation promoting the pro-
ject.
The corporation, Starco, Inc,
retains Mr.. Mclaughlin as its
special counsel while Mr.. Foley
serves as both attorney and a
director.
Members of the Fairfax
County Planning Commission
who heard a two-hour presen-
tation Of the case last night,
decided to defer action until
Deputy Planning Director
Herbert F. Schumann produces
a detailed report Monday.
No citizen opposition to the
high-density residential prof.
ect was voiced at the meeting
last night. Present at the ses-
sion and supporting the appli-
cation was a group of some so
persons, most of whom were
middle-aged or older.
The facility would house q
maximum of 5000 persons.
The apartments would be
rented to coop members for
less than sos a month.

SURELY THIS LOG canoe
racing must be the most ex-
elusive of sports, for there
are only six such craft in ex-
istence.
Beaverton of the Norfolk
Naval Museum has written
several books on the history
of Chesapeake Bay craft.
They almost suggest that
boats were invented in Tide
water Virginia.
The first sc ttlers had
crossed the Atlantic In ships
that had boats hung from
the davitS. But boat building
was not part of their culture.
Boats were important to
them in this country, which
had no roads but wonderful
waterways.
They noticed the Indians
made a boat by following a
large white pine log. They
burned it out and dug it out
and left the ends square. The
white men improved on this
by sharpening the ends.
They wanted larger boats
for the oyster haul and this
started an amazing depar-
ture in marine architecture
and engineering. They didn't
start by laying a keel and
constructing a skeleton of
arched oak ribs. They trim
med two or more logs so they
could be fitted flush, bolted
them together and then hol-
lowed them out with an adj.
The old skipjacks (single
masted) and bugeyes (two
masts and go to 20 feet long)
were made in this manner.
The log canoe was a smaller
and faster oyster boat. Get
ting the haul to the market
early often meant a better
price.
These boats carved out of
solid timber had one advan-
tage in oystering over boats
with a "skin" of warped
boards. They could take a
lot of punishment.

WE FOLLOWED the racing
craft up river past st.
Michaels. They made a pref
ty picture. They have the
same leg-o'-mutton = shaped
sails they had in their oys-
tering days, but larger and
cleaning white, Their huge
jibs, sweeping back from a
long bowsprit, make them
reminiscent of the pictures
of the first America cup race
at Cowes, England.
After the races we called
on John C. North, an Easton
lawyer in his mid-sixties.
I'VE capsized twice today"
he said. "It was very excit-
ing. This boat was built by
my grandfather, William S.
Covington, in 1882 and the
other one, which my son
raced, was built by the same
man in 1892. One is made
from three logs; the other
from five. We have recently
covered their bottoms with
fiber glass, as the wood is
very porus.

canoes have been built for

War II. There may never be

st. German Writes Bill
But arriving this year in
Washington for the first time
was Representative st, Ger
main, Democrat of Rhode
Island. He found the situation
ridiculous and wrote out a bill
to permit:
/. The serving of spirituous
| liquors to those waiting for a
table in a restaurant in en-
inclosed area, even If they were
standing up.
2. The serving of mixed
drinks to persons seated at q
bar. Under present law. those
seated at a bar may drink only
beer or wine.
AS testimony flowed today
witnesses and Congressmen
agreed the law was archaic
Further, they said, it has even
prevented stand-up singing
and drinking around a piano
The discussion of the bill
included the announcement by
Representative Multer, Demo
crat of New York, that it wa:
time the city's ABC regulations
were revised,
Discrimination Seen
From the standpoint Of
Patrick M. Duffy, representing
the Bartenders Union, the st
Germaine bill would remove
the "glaring discriminatory pro.
vision which compels the guest
who wishes for a drink oi
spirituous liquor to seek a sea-
at a table or a booth in order tC

He said this was in "SharI
contrast to the liberal treat
ment accorded the beer or ligh
wine drinker, who can be served
at a bar if seated on a STOOL"
Mr.. Duffy also revealed tina

this crazy requirement of thu

Donors to Discuss
New Corcoran Plan
Mrs. Holpert
Would Accept
Gallery Offer

The Corcoran Gallery of
Arts chances of getting, after
all, a much-publicazed goth
century art collection pivots on
conversations to be held later
this week by two of the pros
pectiye donors.
Since the gallery administra-
ton has done an about face.
and found a way to accommo-
date the once-spurned collec-
ton, the shoe is somewhat or
the other foot.
Mrs. Edith G. Halpert, one
of the collectors, told The sta,
today she is in favor of accept
ing the Corcoran's proposal tc
renovate 10 unused galleries foy
the exclusive use of the dona-
tion, which in toto has beer
valued at 81 million or more.
$3.50 Chance
At her summer place in New.
town, Conn, Mrs. Halpert sale
she is meeting this week with
another of the original fom
donors. Her chances of persuad-
ing the others to cooperate
she said, are about "50-50."
Il cannot speak for them"
she said. THE meeting this
week is with one of the major
collectors. The problem here
involves a new will, made after
the Corcoran turned down the
original proposal. OF course,
it is easy to change a will"
Mrs. Halpert said she also
has been in touch with a second
major collector and that he
had been given details of the
Corcoran proposal.
II believe he will be willing
to give his art to the Corcorap
in event the other major col
lector consents" she said.
Asked whether she would
give part of her collection to
the Corcoran if the others re-
fused, Mrs. Halpert said she
would think it over.
II would try to interest some
others in the idea," she said,
explaining that while her COL
lection is a fine one, it does
not include some artists whom
she never cared for but whose
worth she recognizes in a we'll
rounded collection.
She said she understood, and
agreed with, the position of
George E. Hamilton, jr.. pres
ident of the Corcoran, that the
gallery was not interested in
acquiring just any paintings,
but those that would fill out
what the gallery already has.
$25O,OOO Needed
1T never has been my idea
to force anything on a gallery"
she said. THE gallery would
have the right to choose what
it feels is most representative. ("
The gallery, which rejected
original conditions to erect a
separate wing for the collec-
ton, now has agreed to the
modified plan, which still will
cost an initial outlay of about
$250,000, plus additional ex-
penses Of $50, 900 annually. The
Corcoran has said it must go
to the community for assistance
in raising these funds.
Mrs. Halpert, who has acted
as spokesman for the donors
although shy of publicity, said
she was not as sensitive" as
the other collectors. She said
they were badly upset by the
original rundown.
| AS for Mr.. Hamilton, he said !:
IT feel rather encouraged.
think we will get some pictures
we want under conditions that
are best for Corcoran."

Robert F. Kneipp, Assistant

not only employment but the
comfort of diners.
He added that the owners o1

The
Rambler
Enjoys
Maritime Week End
By GEORGE KENNEDY

BY GEORGE KENNEDY
All over this wonderful
Chesapeake Bay country the
boat people were enjoying
the perfect weather of last
week end-llowhere more so
than at st. Michaels on the
Miles River of the Eastern
Shore.
On Saturday and Sunday
the river was beautiful with
sails, from tiny comets to
schooners that could safely
go around the world. Several
sail races were going on at
the same time, for this was
regatta week at the Miles
River Yacht Club.
But all eyes were on the
rakish, schooner rugged log
canoes, racing from buoy to
buoy in a breeze that was
brisk Saturday morning and
remained fresh throughout
the afternoon and Sunday.
Our host brought his out
board to his pier and invited
us to have a closer look. We,
descended Lor1ghaul Creek
and went out into the river,
passing many clusters of
cabin cruisers four or five
made fast along the gum
wales to enable visiting
''Glad to have you on board"
and all that.
Apparently it is all right to
trail the racing craft at
any rate we did and no one
objected.
The log canoe is a long f25
to IS feet), low, racy looking
centerboard craft. Carrying
a huge amount of sail for its
size, it is easily capsized. It
carries a racing crew of To-
nine of them husky heavy
weights whose job it is, when
she is cutting across a stiff
breeze, to sit out on planks
extended to the windward to
keep it from careening all
the way over.

Industry Plan
On Message
Satellites Hit
BY ]. A. O'LEARY
Star Staff Writer

Senator Russell Long, Demo-
crat of Louisiana, said today
the plan submitted by COM
niunications industry committee
for establishing a commercial
system of sending messages
around the world by satellite
does not provide for maximum
competition.
He has reached no final con-
illusions on the best method of
setting up a satellite communi-
cation system. but made it
clear he thinks the industry re-
port does not provide for a
broad enough ownership of the
system.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-11-09
Four Types Planned

DR.. E. C. Welsh, executive
secretary of the National Aero
nautics and Space Council, told
Senator Long the space authori-
ties hope to have four different
types of communication satel-
liteS in orbit for testing pur-
poses within year. But the
in its report it would be 1864
or 1865 before the new COM
municatiorA system could be in
operation.
Lee Loevinger, Assistant At
torney General in charge of the
Antitrust Division, testified the
industry plan is not adequate
to meet the standards laid
down by President Kennedy for
the new system.
But Government officials
made it clear yesterday they
are not yet ready to specify a
detailed plan that would meet
with administration approval.

Meeting Again

He gave his views to report

ness Subcommittee heard testi-
mony yesterday from Omar
Crook. chairman of the indus
try committee appointed by the
Federal Communications Com
mission.
The subcommittee is meet
ing again today to find out
what members of the FEC
think of the industry report.
Under the industry plan, the
Government would put the sat-
elites into orbit and be reim-
bursed by the participating
companies for the cost. T h e
amount contributed by each
company would go into its rate
base on which its fair return
is computed.
Senator Long said only four

resented on the industry COM
mittee have offered thus far to
put up funds for starting the
venture.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-11-09
Profit Intended

The plan also calls for forma-
ton of a non-profit satellite
corporation to manage the
system after it is established
Mr.. Crook said this step was
recommended in an effort to
meet one of the standards laid
down by the FEC. But he en-
phaSized it is intended that the
participating companies would
make a profit on their invest
ments in establishing the sat-
elite system.
Senator Long asked Mr..
Crook why the television and
radio companies should not be
considered for inclusion, be-
cause of the possibility that be-
fore the communication satel-
lites are in operation it may
be possible to send television
programs half way around the
world by using satellites.
Mr.. Crook said that he did
not believe this would happen
in his lifetime, but if it did the
television industry would have
its own system of relay satel-
lites.
