more can you say?" O'Keefe
exclaimed.
CarrinO All the Way
Georgetown rooterS could say
Carrino over and over again.
He not only got the basket that
tied it at TOTO at the end of
the first overtime, after a 64-64
tie in regulation time, but then
won the game in the final so
seconds of the second bonus
period with four clutch free
throws.
This wiped out a 1-point
deficit, put his club ahead to
stay, 1916, and made Bruce
Kelleher's shot for Maryland 3
seconds before the end just a
meaningless statistic.
OKeefe has a rotating free
throw shooting drill at George

two shots at various baskets.

TerpS Fire Away
1t was a game of a million
turning points and a great
comeback victory for the
Hoyas, who trailed once by 13
points in the second half. For
Maryland, it was a game of
what might have been.
The Terps, raped often in
the past for conservation, fired
away, rather than stall, even
when they had possession in a
tie game with only 2:13 left in
regulation time. Two shots by

The Terps still had a chance

hook and "Sixth-Man" Dan
Slattery-O'Keefe calls him the
Hoyas' Frank Ramsey-pulled

bounds.

Woman Found Bound
Two Days After Attack

A woman resident of the
Boston House, I'LL Massachu-
sets avenue NV, was found
in critical condition tied up in
her bed this afternoon. She
was the victim of an assault
that apparently occurred more
than two days ago.
Police identified the victim
as Mrs. Frances M. Lockwood
As, divorcee, living in first
floor apartment No. 118. Police
said her chances of survival
appeared slim.
Homicide squad detectives
said Mrs. Lockwood's jaw was
broken, that she had been beat
en- about the head and both
eyes we're blackened. She was
still unconcious after being re-
moved to Washington Hospital
Center.
Deputy Chief Edgar E. Scott
said Mrs. Lockwood was found
by a telephone operator al
1890 pm. after the woman's
mother had telephoned to in
quire about her whereabouts.
The operator, Mrs. Fern Lust
opened the apartment door and
found Mrs. Lockwood lying face
down on her bed. He hands
were tied with a cloth. Her
condition was so poor police
at first thought she was dead

floor nearby.
Because a Sunday morning
newspaper was found outside
the door and a Saturday eve
ming paper inside the apart
ment, it is possible the attack
occurred either Saturday night
or Sunday morning, Chief Scott
said.
Chief Scott said she was
bound with what appeared to
be belts, perhaps taken from
her clothing.
The room was in great dis
order and completely ran
sacked. Chief Scott said en-
trance might have been gained
through a window opening on
to a low roof next to an alley.
The window screen had been
pushed out.

Seizes $1,000

A bandit with a pearl-har-
died penknife took $4,000 in
cash shortly after noon today
from the Potomac Federal
Savings and Loan Association
office at 73O Fourteenth street
NV.
Police described the thief as
neatly dressed, clean-shaven,

General Hopes
TOQueIIReVoIt
Without Help
Use Of American
NATO Troops
Not Discussed
By EARL H. VOSS
Star Staff Writer

NA SNNAA '+ANNt
President Kennedy has Of
fered French President de
Gaulle whatever support he
needs to put down the revolt
of generals in Algeria.
Mr.. Kennedy has offered to
stand by Gen. DeCaulle in ANY
way he deemed advisable"
This was disclosed by White
House Press Secretary Pierre
Salinger today. He said Mr..
Kennedy's offer of assistance
was transmitted by James
Gavin, American Ambassador
to France, when he called orN
President de Gaulle to give him
a letter from the President.
Mr.. Salinger said that, in
transmitting the letter yester-
day, the Ambassador relayed
Mr.. Kennedy's message that
America stood ready to render
any assistance" Gen. de Gaulle
might want.
U. S. Troops Not Discussed
Mr.. Salinger declined to dis
cuSS what form the assistance
might take. He said use of
American NATO troops has not
been discussed. He also said no
request has been received from
Gen. de Gaulle for any assis-
tance and the French leader
seems to have the situation in
hand.
In his letter to Gen. de
Gaulle, the President wrote:
In this grave hour for France,
I want you to know of my con-
tinuing friendship and support
as we'll as that of the American
people"
French sources here say Gen.
de Gaulle has strong hope of
putting down the rebellion
without aid from the outside.
They believe things are going
very badly" for the rebel gen.
erals.
The United States offer was
not specific but was broad
enough to include military help
if Gen. de Gaulle asks for such
aid. informants said. They
added that no request for arms
aid is believed likely at this
point.
Sunday Offer Unconfirmed
Reports that Gen, de Gaulle
was offered American military
aid Sunday night to resist a
paratroop invasion of Metro
politan France from Algeria
could not be confirmed.
Both the State Department
and Gen. de Gaulle are highly
sensitive to the need of avoiding
the use of American troops
against French forces.
Neither has any intention Of
letting this happen at the pres
ent stage. President de Gaulle
has made it clear privately he
still regards the whole Algerian
question as an internal affair.
American officials denied the
United States had made any
special effort to communicate
with French rebel generals in
Algeria to warn them of Ameri-
can willingness to fight on the
side of Gen. de Gaulle in re-
slsting any military move
against metropolitan France.
Obligation to Consult
There was speculation, how
ever. that the insurrectionist
generals may have come to
their own conclusions that the
United States might resist such
move.
Under Article Four OF the
NATO treaty there is an obli-
cation among members to con-
suit in case any one members
integrity or security is threat
ened. 1t is not specified that
the attack must be by an OUT
side power.
Under this provision, Presi.
dent de Gaulle could turn to
.NATO.
The Kennedy offer of sup
port, however, officials said,
was a "bilateral" move not nee
esSarily within the provisions
of the NATO treaty.

Land on Sale

RIA Makes Test
In Open Market
To Shape Policy
By GEORGE WILSON
Star Staff Writer

The Redevelopment Land
Agency today for the first time
put a parcel of slum-cleared
land on the open market with
the price already set.
The response to the adver-
tiSements placed in Washington
newspapers and announcements
sent to interested developers
will shape RLA's policy for dis
posing Of urban renewal lands.
The land which went on the
market contains 366,5OO square
feet bounded by M, Fourth and
N streets S.W. and the water
front. The price is $3.1O a
square foot.
Between now and July 20.
anyone interested in putting a
complex Of elevator apartments
and town houses on this water
front site, known as 110A, may
submit his proposal to the RIA.
Interest in Parcel
Allan B. Elliot, RLA's diSpo-
sition chief, said about rs de-
velopers have shown interest in
the sites. He said the actual
response will test the feasibility
of setting the price beforehand,
opening the competition to all
rather than negotiating pri-
vately with redevelopers.
The Federal City Council in
its recent report to the House
District Committee recon-
mended this open approach.
The results of the advertising
also will influence the. RIA
boards decision on how to dis
pose of another residential site
Of about nine acres known as
lila bounded by M, Fourth
and Delaware avenue S.W.
Lutheran Proposal Up
The board at its May 3 meet
ing is expected TO decide
whether to put the parcel up
for proposals or to accede to
the request of the Lutheran
Laymen's Fellowship of Wash
ington to let that group build
an elderly persons housing
project there.
Milton j. Prassas, an archi-
tect who is chairman of the
Fellowship Square Foundation
established to build the elder
ly housing project, said his
group is ready to proceed i'm
nediately.
Mr.. Prassas said the non
profit foundation hopes to-
build a $6.5 million develop
ment of apartment houses and
town houses for elderly per-
sons on the Southwest site. But
so far. he said, the group has
not succeeded in getting a i
hearing before the RIA board.
Plans for 500 Units
Foundation plans call for 500
units all told, with $50 of them
in two elevator apartments and
the other $50 in town houses.
There also would be a dining
room for residents. The hope
is to set rents from $50 for an
efficiency to 5000 for a town
house. In addition, the resi-
dents would pay a fee of at
least $4,000 before gaining
occupancy. There so-cailed
founders fees" are authorized
by the Federal Housing Admin
istration.
Mr.. Prassas said the RIA
would save considerable time
by letting the foundation de-
velop the land and would fill
an urgent need for housing for
older citizens.
However, the RIA board at
the moment appears disposed
to letting others submit pro-
posals for the site.

Charles de Gaulle repulsed an

base at Toulon, apparently
headed toward Algeria. Several

In show of confidence, Gen

to this mornings attack near

tried to capture the big French
naval base of Mers-el-Kebir
just outside Oran. They fell
back under warning shots from
a cruiser in the harbor.
The first major encounter
since the uprising broke early
Saturday emphasized that the
navy stands firmly with Gen.
de Gaulle. They were not the
first shots, however. Soldiers
returning from Algiers on the
