Roddey Gets 8 Years
In Theft of Documents

Arthur r. Roddey. a former
Pentagon employe, today was
sentenced to eight years in
prison for stealing secret docu-
ments from the Defense De-
partment.
Judge Albert v. Bryan i'm
posed the sentence on the So
year-old Falls Church engineer
in Alexandria Federal Court.
Roddey and his attractive, red
haired wife, who was in the
courtroom, showed no emotion
at hearing the penalty.
Judge Bryan said only Rod
dey's guilty plea to one count
Of illegal possession of CLASH
fled documents prevented him
from imposing the maximum
penalty Of 10 years in prison
and a $4,000 fine.
Earlier, Roddey had, in ef-
feet, thrown himself on the
mercy Of the court by retract-
ing a not guilty plea and plead
ing guilty to one of IL charges
accusing him of espionage,
false statements and larceny.
Roddey was arrested last De-
cember by the FBI about four
months after he had lost his
JOB as a mathematician with
the Weapons System Evalua-
tions Group in the Institute of
Defense Analysis at the Pen
.tagon. The court to which the
tall, balding defendant pleaded
guilty charged him with hav-
ing unauthorized possession of
q document called, THE Ap-
.plication of Satellites for Me-
neurological Reconnaissance. ,"
The document, he said, was
about so per cent his own work.
? The FBI said it found about
200 documents in Roddey's

home in the 1900 block of Bar
bour road.
Roddey contended he had
planned to deliver the secret
documents to the National
Security Council and added
II felt I was doing right in
trying to do what I did"
Major portions of the in
dictment were based on the
Federal Espionage Act although
Roddey was not accused of
acting as a spy. The formal
charge was that he took ma
terial which he had reason
to believe could be used to the
advantage of a foreign nation"
and refused to return it on de-
mand.
Roddey had been free in
$4,000 bond pending a proba-

Council Warns
Lobbyists on
Renewal Bill
BY WILLIAM MacDOUGALL
Star Staff Writer

N@A4A@1A4ANA
Star Staff Writer "a
An aroused Montgomery
County Council angrily warned
lobbyists yesterday to keep.
their hands off the county's
proposed urban renewal pro-
gram.
The council, annoyed at both
the county legislative delega-
ton and utilities firms, made
it clear it would stand for no
changes in a bill to grant the
county authority to embark on
such a program.
Council President william F.
Hickey charged that the util-
tiles were applying heavy pres
sure to amend the bill, which
has already been approved by
the House in Annapolis.
County Attorney Alfred H.
Carter explained that both
PEPCO and the Washington
Gas Light Co. want assurance
that the county would pay for
any alterations in utility lines
that would result from urban
renewal construction. He indi-
Gated that passage of the bills
would be much easier if the
council agreed to the provision.
But Mr.. Hickey heatedly de-
clared the council should not
yield on this matter"
The council then voted 5 to 2
to back the bill UNCHANGED,
agreeing with Councilman Da-
vid L. Cahoon that "weIl try
again If this legislation fails to
go through"
Two council members, Mrs. |
Stella Werner and Joe Kyle,
voted against the declaration
on the grounds that it would
be better to compromise than
to imperil the program.
There was no disagreement,
however, on what councilmen
described as a growing lack of
communication between the
council and the delegation. |
There are lots Of things
coming up in the House of
Delegates" Mr.. Hickey said, ION
which the council should have
been given prior notice, but we
haven't had that notice" |
He suggested that the dele
cation remain in closer touch
with the council on such mat
ters.
The council then expressed
It's displeaSure with various
measures before the legisla-
5ure. including a bill creating
an agency to acquire land for
future public use.
I'VE need another agency in
his field like we need several
arge holes in our heads"
'coffed Mr.. Kyle.
In action on coming matters,
he council approved high
1ensity apartments for 21a
acres on Battery lane near
1lenbrook parkway In Bethes-
ia, but disapproved CONNER

For stubborn calcimine, add

Immediately.
Deterioroted Wood Floor
Question. Our summer cot
tage is two years old and has
q grade level cement slab
about six inches thick. On
top Of this slab there Is a
three-quarter- Inch plywood
floor. We put down linoleum
on the plywood, wall to wall.
Now, after two winters, the
linoleum has cracked and
broken in many places. The
cottage is not occupied or
heated during the winter.
After removal Of the limo
leum. we discovered the ply
wood to be wet and the glue
dissolved between the ply
wood sheets. There is an air
space of about one and one
fourth inch between plywood
and cement slab. the plywood
being held down by mailing
to the furring strips en-
bedded In the concrete. The
condensation has deterio-
rated the plywood floor
What recommendations do
you have on the restoration
Of the floor? What type Of
Evening star., 1961-06-03

floor covering can we apply
to prevent this mage
again2
Answer. A wood floor on
concrete In contact with the
ground will deteriorate unless
protected by waterproofing
(as you discovered). This
can be done by coating the
concrete with liquid asphalt
waterproofing, then putting
down a layer Of overlapping
(for half their width sheets
Of heavy asphalt-saturated
felt, and mopping asphalt
waterproofing between the
laps. Then the furring strips
(or "sleepers~ can be placed
on the felt, or in an asphalt
mastic cement.
Linoleum is generally not
recommended for use on con-
crete In contact with the
ground; however, for use over
a wood floor, there is one
containing a layer Of water
proofing resistant to damp
ness which might be used.
Floor covering dealers recon-
mend asphalt tile, vinyl or
rubber tile for use on con-
crete on grade; be sure to
use the recommended adhe-
sive in installing the tile.

Soil-Proofins FIosstone
Question. I have q home
at the shore and will soon
be living there permanently.
There is a large front, full
length screened porch with
a flagstone floor set in ce-
mept. The road dust makes
the floor very messy all the
time. Is there any kind Of
floor finish I can use2 I can
not remove the flagstones as
1t is too hard a Job and
cannot put more cement
over what is already there as
there Is not enough room
left.
Answer. The flagstones
should be sealed with a con-
crete sealer- finish made by a
nationally known wax man
ufacturer; this is available
at janitor supply outlets and
large hardware dealers. Then
using either q polishing or
self-polishing wax will give
you an easy to maintain
floor surface, which dust
cannot penetrate.
Removing celeimine
Question. What is the for
mula for removing calcimine
from ceilings and walls2
Answer. Working on q
small section at a time,
sponge the surfaces with
fairly warm water. First
sponge the area to loosen
the calcimine, then wiring out
the sponge and wipe off the
coating. After rinsing the
sponge thoroughly, repeat
the process. Adding a little

Question. We have a vinyl
asbestos backed linoleum on
our kitchen floor. 1t is worn
In spots and we are intending
to put on q new floor cover
ing. Where can I get infor-
nation on how to go ahead
and prepare the floor for a
different covering? Do we
have to take off the old floor
covering and how?
Answer. Floor covering
dealers usually have manu-
facturer's detailed instruc-
ton sheets available for ap-
plying their floor coverings;
these include preparation of
the floor surface and install
lation over old coverings.
If the present linoleum
adheres tightly all over and
is smooth. although worn,
most likely the new covering
can be applied over it, follow
ing manufacturers recon-
rnendations as to adhesive.
Be sure the linoleum surface
Is completely free of all for
eign matter such as wax,
grease, CRIME, etc.
Siding Paint Checks
Question. The siding on
my home is of exterior grade,
fir plywood. How can paint
be applied to adhere salts
factorily for a reasonable
'period2 Within one to two
years, considerable checking
and cracking of the paint
occurs, Other homes in the
area with the same siding
have the same problem.
Is this due to inability Of
plywood siding to hold paint
without checking and crack
ing, or is there a specific
method of application? We
use premium grades of paint,
and follow recommended pro-
cedures for obtaining good
paint jobs.

looked about the size of an

FORT AUGU S T U S, Scot
land, Dec. s. More than TOO
people, many of them stone
cold sober, claim to have
clapped eyes on the Loeb Ness
monster since it reared into
world headlines % years ago.
Since 1888 scarcely a month
has gone by without someone
spotting the curious creature
with the scaly back, humps and
lashing tail.
It's been seen swimming and
diving, baSking and rolling,
splashing, wallowing, and gen.
orally having fun.
1t is pleasant to report, after
visiting the conn munitie S
around Loeb Ness and inter-
viewing experts on the sub
ject. the brute has been hav-
ing a golden year.
Here in Fort Augustus, at
the southern end of the Loeb,
there is a feeling that import
ant developments are in the
air.
Certainly the last few
months have brought about a
fresh stirring of interest in the
denizen of the Loeb. a grim
stretch of water "a miles long
and going down to depths of
900 feet in parts.
Some local people scott, but
there are highly respected peo-
pie of integrity who have
claimed sightingS.

ital of Inverness, sat behind
his desk in the city hall and

How could I fail to believe
