He added that the policy

other public housing, school,

vate projects.
Maybe they should adopt as
their motto, Only God can de-
stroy a tree" said Mr.. Finley,
an ex-officio board member.
Walter E. Washington, NCHA
executive director, said he had
talked to Jerome Lowe, chief
of the departments tree and
landScaping division, about the
matter. He said he would urge
Individual consideration on each

trees be removed, and the rest
kept to enhance the attractive
ness of the project"
He pointed out that tree ex-

The District Highway De-
partment wants all the curbside
trees around a Northwest pub
lie housing project removed,
and the National Capital Hous-
ing Authority doesn't like it.
Authority board members at
a meeting yesterday voiced
strong opposition to a Highway
Department move to eliminate
18 trees at the Park-Morton
project nearing completion at
Georgia avenue and Park road.
William E. Finley, executive
director of the National Capital
Planning Commission, declared
that there's nothing worse
than a brand new, raw building
with skinny little trees around
it,"
The highway department, he
reported, has an operating
policy which calls for removal
of trees near construction work,
at contractors or clients ex-
pense, where there is a pos
sibility" that the trees will die
in q few years time from con-
struction damage. The trees
must be replaced.

Senate Passes Bill
For CGOConoI Park

Key House members today
hoped to agree on strategy for
handling a bill creating q
Chesapeake & Ohio Canal ma
tional historical park.
The Senate cleared the meas
ure last night just before it
quit.
Authorized was Federal pur-
chase of 10000 acres of land
along the canal in addition to
the 1890 acres comprising a
national monument designated
by former President Eisen-
hover. The Interior Secretary
would be permitted to spend
up to SIS million to acquire
the scenic tracts to be devel-
oped for camping, hiking, boat
ing. fishing, cycling, picnick-
ing and parking.
The old canal extends for
1874 miles from the District Of
Columbia to Cumberland, Md.
Some 20 miles between the
District and Great Falls are
under the jurisdiction of the
National Capital Parks. A
narrow strip Of the remainder
is the monument"
Senator Beall, Republican of

year, but uncertain as to House
prospects.

of Maryland, whose political
future may depend in part on
the fate of the canal bill, is
proceeding cautiously. He plans
to talk with Representative

committee. respectively, to see
If hearings are justified this
late in the session. -
The canal bill has been
stalled in the House during the
terms of two congressional pre-
decessors of Representative
Matthias, Republican Hyde and
Democrat Foley. BY now, the
two most controversial sections
of previous bills--providing for
construction Of D parkway and
barring construction Of water
supply dams along the Potomac
have been eliminated from
the Senate bill.
Army Engineers and District
Commissioners have supported
the Senate bill on condition
that Congress retains a proviso
authorizing public non-park
uses when such uses shall have
been found in consideration of
the public interest" in the new
park. This is regarded as a
protection for future dam con-
struction:

Dog Owners to Give Up
Apartments, Keep Pets

Berka said had "co-operated"
in the pet crisis.
Four tenants, he said, had
agreed to ship off their pets to
kennels or other living accom-
modations. One tenant simply
decided to move out. In the
sixth case, he said, a woman's
pet cat had died.
Clusters Sought
In three hard core" cases
in court today, the manage
rnent sought custer of pet
owning tenants. One dog COM
plant was dropped after Mr..
Berka noted this tenant, while
allegedly noisy, had been i'm
properly accused of owning a
dog.
The tenants who told Judge
Edward A. Beard today they
preferred to quit their apart
ments rather than give up their
pets, were Mr.. and Mrs. Frank
M. Hand and Mrs. Mildred T.
Catledge.
Mrs. Catledge, who owns a
toy poodle. said she plans to
leave by August 81. The Hands,
owners of a Chihuahua, said
they will be out by the same
date.

Commissioners Support
Southwest HeIiport Site

A 3.5-acre tract in the South
west redeveIopment area near
the Capitol today was backed
as a heliport site by the Dis
trict Commissioners.
The location had been rec
commended as a heliport site
by a committee set up by the
Washington Board of Trade
The site also has received gen.
eral Endorsement by the Ma

mission.
The 3.5 acres is bounded by
Canal street, the Pennsylvania
Railroad spur, D street and the
right-of-way for a freeway
connection. The tract Is two
blocks south of Independence
avenue.
Today's action by the COM
missioners is not final. Noise

removal around any projects,
"if we feel that construction is
far enough away, we may not
have to require removal"
He said, however, experience
shows that "the majority" of
trees near construction will die
from lowering of the water
table, and root and other phys
ical damage. If affected trees
are not removed during con-
struction, the division has to
bear the cost of removing them
when they die, he said.
In other business, the NCHA
board approved procedures un-
der which the authority would
obtain public housing for the
families of mothers who COM
plete the District Welfare De-
partment's residential training
program.
Under the special welfare
project, the mothers are learn
ing skills to support their
families eventually. They would
be given 2-bedroom housing
preference on a par with fami-
lies displaced by urban renewal,
according to Mr.. Washington.

civil aeronautics board tenta-
lively has set October II as a
hearing date on helicopter serv-
ice franchise applications by
about a dozen operators.
Final decision on the site is
up to the Commissioners, sub
ject to Federal Aviation Agency
approval. City officials today
said the proposed location also
would have to be cleared in
formally with key congressional
members because of its prox-
unity to the Capitol.
The Commissioners today
also voted in favor of having
the heliport operation under
the FAA, rather than either
the city government or the Re-
development Land Agency. The
reasons for this stand, which
was recommended by the Com
missioners' aides, are the fact
that the city government is not
geared to supervising such an
operation and the cost factors.

Government after Representa- :
tive Rabaut, Democrat of Mich
igan, telephoned two top Dis
trict officials to urge issuance
of the permit, which had pre-
viously been denied.
ALI contractors who bid on
the wrecking job near Union
Station had been told by both
RIA and District officials that
they would not be permitted
to burn the, wreckage because
of the Districts new air pollu-
ton control regulations.
Officials of the unsuccessful
wrecking companies which bid
on the job said the economic
significance in granting of the
permit to Liberty is that it
would enable the company to
make a large profit because it
would be able to burn wreck
age at the site instead Of hav-
ing to follow the more expen-
sive procedure of hauling it
away by truck.
They contended they could
have cut their bids by $4,000
