An $18 million loan-believed
to be the largest in Washing
ton construction hiStory-will
finance the new $50 million
Hilton hotel to be built On
Connecticut avenue north of
Florida avenue NV, it was
learned today.
Hilton-UriS, Inc, the New
York sponsoring corporation,
has completed purchase of the
site for $4.6 million. The land
is part of the Temple Heights
tract. Cost was 5000 a square
foot.
The $l8 million construction
loan has been made by the
Irving Trust Co. of New York,
which has already advanced
part of the amount so the land
purchase could be completed.
Earlier this month, Hilton
Urls obtained an option to buy
the land from the longtime
Washington owners, AmbaS-
sador, Inc, and others. Prin-
cipalS of the owning firm were
Morris Cafritz and the estate
of the late Charles H. Tomp-

Fire Sweeps
AtticofInn
AtGumbriIIs

Fire swept through the Pigeon
House Inns attic early today,
bringing about 20 fire COM
panieS and 100 firemen to the
well-known restaurant near
Gambrills, Nd, in Anne Arundel
County.
One fire official estimated
damage would run as high as
$4,000, but the m anage r,
Herbert Sachs, said he planned
to reopen the restaurant this
evening.
Origin of the fire was not
known, nor was there any eX-
PLANTATION as to why the restau-
rant lights were on when fire
men arrived. Mr.. Sachs said
the lights were turned off when
he and two bartenderS left at
2:30 am.
Police said the 212-story, ram
bling frame building had been
broken into at other times, but
there was no evidence of any,
thing missing today. Mr.. Sachs
had removed the money from
the cash register.
Damage to the building stu
ated at the intersection of
Maryland Routes 3 and $50,
was restricted to the attic and
to the second floor. About 100
chairs stored in the attic were

Bill for Movinq
School Approved

A House Judiciary subcom-
mittee yesterday approved a
bill to move a Prince Georges
County school away from the
noise of jet planes at Andrews
Air Force Base.
The bill introduced by Rep
reSentative Landlord, Demo-
Crat of Maryland, would au-
thorize enough Government
money for a new site and build
ing for ForestvilIe Elementary
School.
The United States Court of
Claims would fix the amount
under the legislation.
The measure was opposed by
Air Force spokesman on the
grounds that the county school
board should take its case di-
rectly to the court and seek
damages.
At an earlier hearing, par
entS and teachers from Forest
vile played a tape recording
of a third grade session to show
that classes were interrupted
by the blasts of jet planes from
Andrews.

Many projects previously
we're proposed at the site.
None ever got off the ground
except the Universal Building,
at the southeast corner of Con-

planned by Mr.. Cafritz. 1t will
extend from Soon-to-be- built
T street, bisecting the tract,
east and south to Florida
avenue.
The hotel will occupy the
part of the property north of
T street.
Rufus S. Lusk, a real estate

the firms $18 million loan is
"by far the biggest in the his
tory of construction here"
At the time the land option
was signed earlier this month,
Hilton-UriS officials said the
hotel they were planning would
be eight stories high and have
1900 rooms. A ballroom seating
1000 is proposed. Architect is
William B. Tabler, of New York.
Sharing equally in owner
ship will be the Hilton and

Unit Assures
Northropof
Judgeship

Maryland State Senator Ed
ward S. Northrop today was
assured by Senate Judiciary
Subcommitteemen thu at he
could expect confirmation as
judge on the Federal District
Court for Maryland.
Presiding Subcommittee
Chairman Johnston, Democrat
of South Carolina, and Senator
Hruska, Republican of NebraS-
ka, told President Kennedy's
nominee they expected no
trouble either in the committee
or in the Senate on the con-
firmation question.
Senator Northrop, a lawyer
and Democratic leader in the
Maryland Senate, appeared at
the subcommittee hearing,
thanked by both of Maryland'S
Republican Senators. Senators
Beall and Butler testified that
the nominee would bring credit
and honor to the Federal
courts.
This solid support from Re-
publican ranks was geographic
cal rather than political. The
Senators privately have well
coined the prospective presen-
tation of Maryland counties, as
we'll as the City of Baltimore,
on the Federal bench in Balti-
more.
Senator Northrop, so, was
born in Chevy Chase. A grad
uate of the George Washington
University Law School, he has
practiced law in the District
Maryland and Virginia since
1887 except for a five-year
stint in World War II as a
naval commander.
He was elected to the Mary
land Senate in 1855 and is
serving his second term.

mendationS in time for action
at the next session of the Gen
eral Assembly in February.
1t was reported that Gov.
Tawes, probable candidate for
reelection, is not anxious for
a repetition in 1862 of the fight
which occurred over higher ed
ucation policies at the 1861
session.
At the past session, Gov.
Tawes put the full force Of
his office behind a move to
convert Frostburg State Teach
ers College into a branch of
the University of Maryland but
was defeated.
Strong Opposition
This would have been the
first step in a general con-
version of State teachers COL
legeS to university branches
and was strongly opposed by
the State Teachers Association,
the State PTA, State Supt.
Thomas G. Pullen. jr., and the
State Board of Education
which operates the teachers
colleges.
After the Governors pro-
posal was turned down in a
close committee vote, the Gen
eral Assembly called for the
appointment of a commission
to study how to best provide
for growing enrollments. Mem
bers of the commission, some
from both sides of the issue,
were selected by Gov. Tawes
and Senate President George
w. Della, who also is president
of the Legislative Council.
The commission appointed
about two months ago has had
one meeting, and it was re-
ported that it probably will
not finish its job before the
next legislative session.
Meanwhile, the State Board
of Education proposed steps
yesterday to strengthen the
teachers colleges.
The board submitted a budg-
ct for fiscal 1868 which would
increase the Institutional
stats at the five colleges and
would set up PROFESSIONAL rank
for the instructors.
Budget Over Sc Million
The proposed budget of So
450,226 is $1,560,936 higher
than the appropriation for
this year. Approximately 81
million of the increase would
be for Institutional costs.
Salaries under the proposed
professional rank system would
equal those paid at the Uni
verSity of Maryland. School
officials said the pay of teach
er college instructors rank be-
low the University of Mary
land and Morgan State College,
a primarily Negro institution
The Board of Education tried
last year to get PROFESSIONAL
rank and higher salaries for
the teacher college instructors
but Governor Tawes cut it out
of the proposed budget.

board should have the right
to set salaries so long as it
stays within the total amount
appropriated for that purpose.
Under the present system, the
Governors budget on which the
General Assembly acts lists
each position for which money
is being appropriated, school
officials said.
In a separate budget for
the school headquarters, the
board recommended a $4,000
raise for DR.. Pullen, from
$4,000 a year to $4,000. A
similar raise was requested last
year but the Governor cut it
out.
Summer School Studied
The board also voted to study
the possibility of conducting
summer school at the teachers
colleges.
In a move that could have
far-reaching results, the board
announced that a study OF
how to better utilize the pro-
feSsional talent of the public
schools will be conducted with
a grant from the Ford Foun-
dalton.
The foundation gave the
board $4,000 for the one
year study to be carried out at
the direction of T. Wilson Ca
hall, a public school official
in Washington County.

church funds under the organ
ization's constitution.
This is an effort to restore
the church to the people
to protect the money that they
saved and then let them go
on their way" he said.
Mr.. Rosenberg revealed that
the church'S assets now consist
of $1.2 million, which is subject
to a District income tax claim
of S75O,000; $5OO,O0O in cash
in various accounts; and SIS
million worth of real estate.
Mr.. Reeves said his clients
are only interested in protect
ing these assets and returning
the right of Self-determina-
ton" to the church members
as soon as possible.
COmmends Goal
The judge commended this
objective. saying that he felt
it was about time somebody
took an interest in the finan-
cial affairs of the religious
body.
The judge said it was a sur
prise to him to learn that the
church has a general check
er" of church funds. HE must
have been hiding in the bushes
since almost two years of liti-
cation hasn't brought that
out" he said.
Judge Hart said he, too,
would like to bring the case
to a close as soon as possible
noting with a show of some
WEAKNESS that Mr.. Rosenberg
intends to appeal the judges
order removing Mr.. Mccullough
as bishop.
This court has many things
to do other than run churches,
a task for which it is ill-pre-
pared" the judge added. But
he insisted that Mr.. Bryant be
given wide discretion in his
capacity as receiver.
