Robertson Urges
Housing Looms
BY the Associated Press

Virginia farmers and all
others living in rural areas
have been urged by Senator
Robertson, Democrat of Vir-
ginia, to take full advantage of
the provisions of Title 8 of the
Omnibus Housing Act.
Senator Robertson said yes
terday that under this pro-
vision eligible rural families
can use housing loans to con-
Struct, repair and remodel
dwellings and other essential
service buildings. These loans
will bear 4 per cent interest
and are repayable over periods
of up to 33 years.
The Senator said those in
terested in securing a loan of
this type should communicate
with either the county office
of the Farmers Home Admin
istration or with their county
farm agent.

Clouds, Rain Forecast
For Area Tomorrow

Ninety recruits now enrolled
in the police training school
will be detailed to help handle
the pre- Christmas traffic in
the downtown area starting
Friday, Deputy Chief Howard
v. Covell said today.
Chief Covell said that assign
ing of the extra men will begin
Friday because experience in
previous years has shown that
after Thanksgiving, Christmas
shopping starts to boom.
The chief said that the Youth
Aid and Detective Divisions
will also start assigning extra
men to the downtown area.
"Our primary concern is
safety and moving traffic"
Chief Covell said. However.
he added, the additional police
will also keep an eye out for
shoplifters and other criminals.
He said that the assignment
of extra police to the down.
town area will continue through
the Christmas season.

Despite recent acceptance by
the National Capital Planning
Commission of the controversial
Inner Loop eXpresSway projects
the Fine Arts Commission is
taking pains to make clear that
it still opposes the plan.
The commission yesterday
Ireaffirmed it's belief that the
projects should be delayed

Transportation plan, especially
as it concerns the rapid-transit
system"
The commission reiterated its
belief that a midtown express
way system will not only maj
the beauty of the city but will
accentuate the very problems
it is intended to solve"
A spokesman said the action
was taken ito avoid any mis-
apprehension on the part OF
anyone that the commission il

concept"
Congress, the commission sale
in a statement, had as its
specific purpose" the prepa-
ration of a comprehensive city
and regional transportation
plan when it enacted the
National Capital Transports

transit system will be built anc

will be found for the trans
portation problems in Wash

Policeman Fined $3.50
For intoxicated Actions

A police trial board threw
out five charges against a police
private today and fined him
$3.50 on an amended charge of
being under the influence of
intoxicants while on duty.
Eighth Precinct Pvt. Edward
E. Proudfoot, 40. had been
charged with feigning illness to
evade performance of duty and
| of drawing his gun on a
lieutenant.
| Today Deputy Chief John E
Winters, chairman of the trial
board, said testimony of psy-
chiatrists convinced him ano
Capts. George Causey and Mil
ton Reed that the charges
should be amended.
The original allegation
stemmed from a station house
incident of october 4, wher
Pvt. Proudfoot was accused Of
evading performance of duty
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1961-11-22

with rambling talk and pre-
tended unconsciousneSs.
The climax came when the
policeman drew a gun on 1t.
John A. Bryant. He quickly
dropped it, however, and was
taken to District General Hos
pital for psychiatric examina-
ton. He was cleared and, on
the advice of psychiatristS, was
returned to duty.
At the trial, psychiatrists
testified they did not believe
Pvt. Proudfoot was mentally ill,
but that he had a personality
complex because of an alcohol
triggered domestic squabble.
The policeman admitted he had
had several drinks before going
on duty.
Capt. Francis H. Dunn, the
policeman's commanding Off
GER, said he at first considered
Pvt. Proudfoot mentally and
emotionally disturbed, but was
convinced otherwise by doctors.

Clouds and rain are fore
cast for the Washington area

Railroads, bus companies and
airlines have stepped up service
to handle the traditional de-
parture of thousands of Wash
ingtonians leaving the city for
the four day holiday period.
All Government bureaus will
be closed tomorrow and al
though Friday is not a Federal
holiday. many Government en-
ployes will take annual leave
on Friday to enjoy the four
day autumn break.
President Kennedy and his
family leave Washington today

lamation the President said:
This year, as the harvest

St. EIizobeths Patient
Asks Court for Release

a mental hospital in criminal
cases.
DR.. Winfred Overholser, SUI
Iperintendent of st. Elizabeths
Hospital, took vigorous excep-
ton yesterday to many of the
statements contained in the
papers filed at District Court
by Mr.. ArenS.
The superintendent said con-
ditions at st. Elizabeths are
kept at "the highest level pos
sible with the funds available. ~
He noted that Alcoholics Anon
ymous units are active there
DR.. OverholSer denied the
woman had been kept in iso-
lation except when necessary as
! a quarantine upon her return
to the hospital after permitted
visits outside the institution
He said hospital authorities
have repeatedly allowed her to
leave the grounds to find work
but he noted she has been
brought back after she started
to drink again outside the hos
lpital.
Il think she's demonstrated
from her conduct that she's far
from we'll" he said. DR.. Over
holser said the hospital staff
has been hoping she would
make good" each time she was
allowed to leave.
About conditions at st. Eliza
beths, he said:
I'VE don't pretend that ev-
erything is ideal. No place is
But we think that we are CIV
ing a standard of care to our
patients that is consistent with
the best that is available in
public institutions.
We're not operating a
snake pit here" he said. Far
from it."
The superintendent agreed
that St. Elizabeths is over
crowded, but he said this is
only by about 10 per cent.

EVEN THAT little old
bomb had people worried.
After all it had caused con-
siderable destruction and loss
of life at Hiroshima and
Nagasaki. Suppose it missed
Washington but broke this
high-level dam. The Johns
town flood of the late 18th
century, which took almost
1000 lives, would be a minor
catastrophe.
The release of this so or
more billion gallons of i'm
pounded water would wet
the foot of Meridian Hill,
inundate Alexandria and
approach the pillars of
Mount Vernon.
The protest caused the
Army Engineers to withdraw
the recommendation. They
are to come up with a new
plan next year. If it includes
a dam at River Bend it will
be at a lower level.
This problem got Engineer
Drevo thinking. Two small
dams on Sugar Loaf would
contain 10-14 billion gallons,
plenty for Washington's
needs and not enough to
flood it.
"A beautiful lake, 2 miles
long, half a mile wide, TOO
feet high" he said. Crystal

United States Senator on his
ticket but said he has not
made up his mind yet on
Maryland's new congressional
seat.
Three candidates for Repre-
sentative at-large already have
announced, and it is possible
that the Governor could take
any one or none of them. They
are House Speaker Perry o.
Wilkinson and Delegate Carl
ton r. Sickles, both of Prince
Georges County, and Herbert
R. O'Conor, jr., Baltimore at
torney.
No Baltimore Candidate
The Governor has a wide
geographical distribution on
the ticket he announced yester-
day, but he lacks a candidate
from Baltimore, largest voting
block in the State.
For the United States Senate
seat now held by Republican
John Butler, Gov. Tawes picked
Representative Daniel Brewster
of Baltimore County. His cam
didate for attorney general is
Thomas B. 'Finan of Cumber-
land and for State controller
Louis L. Goldstein of Calvert
County, both seeking re-elec-
ton.
Gov. Tawes' dilemma on the
Representative at Large seat is
this:
If he takes Mr.. O'Conor, he
probably would ALLEVIATE Lans-
dale G. SaSscer, ST., Demo-
cratic political leader in Prince
Georges and a strong political
force in most of Southern
Mai yldllu.
If he takes one of the Prince
Georges candidates, it may not
set we'll with political leaders
in Baltimore, where the Gov
ernor seems likely to have a
tough time already.
The Governor said only that
the congressional seat is in the
discussion stage" and that the
matter is expected to be re-
solved soon.
At his press conference yes
terday, Gov. Tawes took an in
direct slap at George P. Ma

major candidates in the race
for the Democratic guberna-
torial nomination.
He said he and his running
mate will not exchange "po-
litical favors for political sup
port" Questioned about the
statement. he said there seems
to be a contest going on to
promise the most the quickest,
and mentioned specifically the
counting of the teachers lob
by" and organized labor.
Mr.. Mahoney has Endorsed a
pay plan sought by the teach
erS and has supported organ
lied labor in it's opposition tc
a bill to restrict unemployment
insurance.
Gov. Tawes also rejected Mr.
Mahoney's contention that the
Governor said in his 1858 cam
I paign that he would not seek
a second term.
Recalls Statement
ITO the best of my recollec-
/ ton, I said that I would not
let any thought of a second
term color any of my decisions
or dictate my actions" Gov
Tawes said.
Mr.. Mahoney made this
statement today:
Now that the guessing game
has run its practicable course
Gov. Tawes owes it to the citi-
zens to undertake a thor
ough discussion of the progress
or lack of it, which Maryland
has made in meeting its many
problems"
| Mr.. Mahoney said that the
response OF Gov. TaWeS' ad'
ministration to State problem!
has been characterized by
lack of vision and foresight, b!
vacillation, by indecision."
Asked if he would accept thu
support of James H. Pollack

The
Rambler
Longs for
Mountain Lake
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Everyone who has toured
north Of Washington knows
Sugar Loaf.
1t is a fascinating noun
tain. 1t apparently wan
dered from the Catoctin
range in the era when
mountains were made. 1t
rises from Maryland mead
owS, rich with corn" in
lonely grandeur only a little
more than 80 miles from
Washington.
Anyone who has flown over
it realizes it is not simply a
single peak like a volcanic
mountain. 1t is a little range
all its own. 1t has a Shoul-
der with spurs to the north
and east. They form a
pocket which could become a
mountain lake.
All that would be necessary
would be to build two dams
to shut off two small runs
that drain this pocket; then
pump water from the Poto-
mac several hundred feet
below.
That's what we need here
about, a mountain lake
cool water swimming and all
that.
Sounds fantastic. From
early Egyptian and Sumerian
times - centuries before
Christ - water has been
trapped on its way downhill
for water power.

Plan Backed
For Driver
Suspension

The District Citizens Traffic
Board has Endorsed a COM
promise agreement designed to
tighten up driver license sus-
pension and revocation pro-
ceedingS.
Under the proposed new sys-
tenn, a motorist arrested for a
dangerous moving violation will
be taken to a police precinct
where he will be served with a
notice stating that he must re-
port to the Department of
Motor Vehicles within five days.
The drivers license will then
be stamped to let police know
that he was served on a certain
date with this five-day notice.
Will Get New Permit
If the driver is found not
guilty at his hearing, he will
receive a new unstamped per-
nit free of charge.
However, if police catch him
driving with a stamped permit
more than five days after re-
ceiving notice, he will be sub
iect to arrest.
This procedure has been
agreed upon by the Police De-
partment, the Department Of
Motor Vehicles and the Cor
poration Counsel's office and
will be recommended to the
District Commissioners. The
traffic board backed the pro-
posal yesterday.
Action Deferred
It is a substitute for a proce-
dure recommended last week
by the Department of Motor
Vehicles under which a police
officer would take the license
of a driver involved in a serious
offense and give him a tempo
rary permit.
The Commissioners deferred
action on this proposal after
top police officials warned that
it would present many prob
lens for policemen.
At present, police notify the
Department of Motor Vehicles
if a driver is involved in a Sc
rious offense and that depart
ment then writes to the driver
asking him to appear. However,
one out of every four drivers
who received such letters last
year did not report to the De-
ipartment of Motor Vehicles
/ and are still using their driving
licenses.
