Trailer Spaces
Count Is Asked
At East Potomac

Senator Kuchel, Republican
of California, has demanded a
precise count of East Potomac
Park trailer spaces for West
erners who want to visit the
Nations Capital on a budget.
The Senator asked Interior
Secretary Udall how many
spaces exist now and how
many will remain after con-
struction of an operation s
building for the National Cap
ital Parks.
The letter followed a CORE
spondence between Senator
Kuchel and Parks Superin-
tendent T. Sutton Jet, in
which Mr.. Jet said there were
no definite plans to do away
with the entire motor court.
The superintendent went on
to note that the independent
house trailer section" occupies
the site on which a new oper-
ations building is to be con-
structed. To Senator Kuchel,
this meant a complete elimi-
nation of the house trailer
section"
Il am not quite clear from
this letter whether there will
be space for those tourists from
the Far West who have come
to Washington with trailers to
save money which otherwise
would be spent at high-priced
hotels and motels," the Sena-
ton complained to Secretary
Udall.
Senator Kuchel acted after
a California constituent had
told him of a planned shut
down of the trailer park.

Bond Of Guerrilla Fighters Stages Mock Raid Refront Plant

took up positions at either end
of the plant grounds. One Sc
curity man, Joseph Krahling,
ran into a bit of trouble when
officers in a seventh precinct
scout car questioned him. The
police knew what was going on
but Mr.. Krahling didn't know
they knew. He gave them a
satisfactory cover story and the
police drove on.
BY GAS pm, the demolition
squad had all its charges set
and thermite grenades at
tached to the machinery and
plant generator. The area was
cleared and the men surrepti-
tiously slipped away in twos
and threes. Twenty minute
fuses gave them time to be well
away before the plant blew.
The mission was accomplished.

A band of some 20 guerrilla
fighters" friendly to the Amer
lean forces, last night attacked
and blew up a riverfront
factory used by the enemy for
the production of concrete for
gun emplacements and bunkers.
Several guards were killed by
the attackers and the plant
was knocked out of commits

The plant was not some
where in Southeast Asia, or

reserve unit operating out of
Fort Myer. The attack, on the
Lone Star Cement Co. in the
5000 block of K street NV,
was simulated, of course.
But in time of war, this is
the type of operation the Spe-
cial Forces might pull off. The
primary purpose would be to
infiltrate an unfriendly nation
and organize and train guer-
lila force from the citizenry.
This is known as paramili-
tary warfare.
Capt. Earl Young. who by
day works for the Budget
Bureau. explained Special
Forces would not pull the raid
themselves. But in order to
know how to train guerrillas,
they have to know how to do
it themselves" he said.

where the prints were copied

New File System Used
Police explained that the
new file, established three
years ago, contains a detailed
classification and cross-index
of the fingerprints of persons
charged in the last three years.
The suspect they sought was
listed in the file, in connec-
ton with usebreakin g
charges which had brought
him to the attention of Juve-
nile Court authorities in April,
1859.
The youth had been finger

paid frequent calls on the

selling insurance to employees.
At the same time he drew de-
tailed diagrams.
Meanwhile, other members
obtained maps of the area and
charts of the river. Although
these are for sale most places,
the men stole~them from the
District government, the De-

Corps of Engineers, just to add
to the realism.

Limit Is Raised
For Small Claims

President Kennedy today
signed a bill to increase the
jurisdiction of the Districts
Small Claims Court from $50
Ito $3.50.
The increase had been sought
by Municipal Court officials
who complained the court, I'M
like other city courts, was doing
too little business. There are
few suits filed today under $50.
The caseload of the Small
Claims Court, a branch of
Municipal Court, has steadily
dropped over the past few
years. The court handled only
1883 cases in 1860. In 1949,
the total was 27,722.
Many of the cases involve
credit purchases from stores.

door of the company leads to
the foot bridge crossing the
C&O Canal and then to the
cement plant.
Meanwhile, a killer" team
rented a boat up-river and
slipped into the plant ground
from the water side. Their job
was to take out any sentries
who might be within the
grounds. Two security teams
and a demolition team waited
outside the barbed wire-topped
fence for the guards to be
"neutralized." There we're no
guards, but other members of
Company B played the parts.

when His Royal Highness

parted.
Il was awfully nervous.
Someone might stop in and
say that they had just seen
the Crown Prince board a
plane at Burbank. And there
were so many other things
that might go wrong. I had
stomach nipups.
AT any rate we entered

clothed in flowing white
robes. Our reserved tables
were waiting on the other
side of the dance floor.
Il was aware of His Royal
Highness' favorite tunes, the
'Sheik of Araby,' and Moon
light on the Ganges.' I had
my grand vizer request the
orchestra leader to have
them played, which he did.
Then I took the $50 zir-
con from a goatskin bag,
placed it on a red satin pill
low 6-inch square and had
my grand vizer take. it over
to the orchestra leader. This
attracted quite a bit of at
tention.
Then in the middle of the
next dance, the orchestra
leader was informed that I
was departing. The music
stopped. AS we crossed the
dance floor the little goat
skin bag from which I had
extracted the zircon some
how or other was held up
side down.
Out of it spilled green
glass emeralds, red glass

be embarrassed-wanted to
get away from it all but be-

Washington's top police Of
ficials today disclosed that a
commendable display of team
work-combining the logged
persistence of precinct detec-
tives with the skill of a veteran
fingerprint analyst-led to the
arrest of a husky l6-year-old
youth charged in connection
with a series of rape and as
sault cases here.
Apprehended Tuesday, the
youth freely admitted partici-
pating in the 10 cases in which
he is charged. These include
three cases of rape, two assaults
with intent to commit rape and
six assaults.
The youth, identified by police
as Morris Allen Kent, was seized

alleged victim, a 34-year-old
secretary, was dubbed with a

JIM'S HAIR has a touch of
the ruddy and his wit was of
dry or wry quality of the
Presbyterian Irish from the
Valley of Virginia, or, for
that matter, from County
Down.
This was the story of his
impersonating the Crown
Prince, now the King, of
Saudi Arabia, in Sardi's in
Hollywood.
What he conveyed to us
was his miSgivings, his nerv-
business, his fears about the
whole enterprise.
This was to be a major
hoax. If it went as planned,
he knew his name would be
carried across the country
and cabled abroad by the
press associations. And Jim
knew and still knows how to
cash in on publicity.
The Crown Prince was in
Hollywood with his retinue.
Jim watched them, checked
their number, their indi-
vidual heighth and their
garb.
His research led him to
the library where he learned
that His ROYAL Highness
never 4ouched alcoholic bev-
eragek bsEs was fond Of curry
dishes and goats milk.
The Crown Prince was to
leave Burbank Airport at 4
pm. on a Tuesday.
On Monday Jim began to
arrange for his costumes, his
cast, and the properties.
Il paid $50 for a zircon,"
he said. 1T was a beautiful
stone. Several carats. If 1t
had been the diamond it
looked like, it would have
been worth several thousand
dollars"
Il put my retinue together
and CARRIED them and trained
them to look and act just
like the followers of His
Royal HighneSs."
Then I had my grand
vizer call Sardi'S and make a
reservation for 5 o'clock on
Tuesday. That would be
