The ,O00-mile interstate
highway system is expected to
cost about SAL billion. About
one-fourth of the planned Sys-
tenn is now in actual use. More
than $11.2 billion has been
allocated to it since the ac-
celerated program began five
years ago.
The appointments an
nounced today for the District,
Virginia and Maryland were
broken down as follows:
District - Interstate system,
$34,412,400; urban highways,

The Federal aid funds rep

of the Interstate highway sys-
tenn. For the other programs,
so-called ABC roads, the States
must match the Federal grants
on a $3.50 basis.
The apportionment Of the
ABC funds covers only rs per
cent of the total 1925 million

Can Accept Donations
The bill, sponsored by Rep
resentative Aspinall of Colo
rado. chairman of the House
Interior Committee, would al
low the National Park Service
to accept donations of land and
purchase additional land to
create an 1,186-acre park.
The purpose of the bill. as
explained today by T. Sutton
Jett. superintendent of National
Capital Parks, is to protect the
view from Mount Vernon and
Fort Washington.
Mr.. Jett said the cost of the
bill would be about $937 900.
He said many citizens organi-
cations and private founda-
tions had agreed to donate 500
acres to the Government for
the park.
Several witnesses said the
sanitary commission was now
thinking of locating the sewage
treatment plant on Piscataway
Bay. They said they were
unable to learn if the lands
described in the bill also would
prohibit the use of the alter
nate sewage plant site.

The witnesses. representing

national park status to pre-
serve the panoramic view from
Mount Vernon, directely across
the Potomac River from the
proposed national park.
The groups formed a united
front last year when the Wash

Commission revealed plans to
build a sewage-disposal plant
at Mockley Point, a thin silver
of land jutting out into the
Potomac River from the Mary
land side. The point is in plain
view from Mount Vernon and
from Fort Washington in
Maryland.
Hopes for Action
Mr.. Rutherford, a Texas
Democrat, said after today's
hearing that he hoped the
House would take action on the
bill this session. He said the
Senate Interior Committee had
already reported favorably on
a similar measure.
Mr.. Rutherford and other
members of the subcommittee
congratulated several witnesses
today, because their organiza-
tions had attempted to enlist
the aid of State, county and
privae organizations to preserve

DerS, some OF WnOm were
practicing for a swimming
meet scheduled for Saturday,
a group of about 35 young
people and parents drove to
Rockville in a five-car caravan.
The group, clad mostly in
shorts and T-shirtS emblazoned
with the name of the clubs
swimming team, milled about
the courthouse corridors in an
orderly fashion for about a
half hour, before departing for
their homes, according to court
house workers.

she had attended the hearing

went back to the pool to tell

On May 18, the Montgomery
County Board of Appeals re-
Scinded the special exception
which had been issued in 1857
to operate the 100000 pool. In
a split decision. the board found
that drainage ditch from the
pool to Calendar drive was "un-
safe and unsightly."
Complaints about the ditch
had been made by some home
owners in the neighborhood in
the Bannockburn section Of the
county.
Following the first COM
plants, the association had
built a chain-link fence around
the ditch after a child had been
hurt there.
The association filed a notice
Of appeal shortly after the
boards decision, and on June 2
Circuit Judge Thomas M. An
derson ordered it to post $4,000

STRIKES
and
SPARES
By JOE WllMAN
Single Pin Spare Is About
a 2-FOOt Target

Jackie Burke, former Mas
ters and PGA champion, once
suggested that golfers faced
with a long putt should ina
gine the hole as being three
feet wide. This greater target
in their minds would give them
more confidence and help them
get the ball up close enough
to avoid three-putting.
I feel the same way about
one-pin spares. l like to ina
gin them as being a 2-foot
target. Here's how:
You can pick up a single pin
spare by hitting it on either
side Except the 7 or 10 pins
The ball is about 8 inches wide
and the pin is about 5 inches
wide at its belly. Since a ball
rolled on either side of the
pin can knock it over, that
gives you a 23-inch target fig
uring a 9-5-9 inch area.
Mathematicians have shown
me that actually the ball can
roll only over a 14-inch area
to convert the spare, but still
like to think of it as a two
foot target. 1t helps my con-
fidence, and it can help yours;
too.

Switzerland, and France she
does not attempt to expound
in complete and exhaustive
detail; rather she uncovers
certain aspects of the theo-
ries by precise reports of a
number of trials, and no less
precise flashes of incidents
in a much larger number of
other trials. She does not
pretend that her findings can
be the basis of reform or
even valid comparison; they
are only sharp insights into
five peoples.
German courtrooms are
investigated more extensively
than those of any other coun-
try. 1t is clear that Miss Bed
ford, even though she con-
fesses to lifelong prejudice
against not only Nazi but
pre-Hitler Germany, is very
favorably impressed with
present-day German justice.

Waits.
The longest story in the
book is of Ulrich Brach, an
Army doctor tried for kill
ing a man who had exposed
himself indecently to his
young daughter. The infor-
mality and never failing
courtesy, and yet the high
seriousness, with which the
trial is conducted are re-
markable. Neither before nor
during the trial is the ac-
cused taken into custody,
there are no symbols Of
either Church or State in
the courtroom, the Judge
himself elicits the basic facts
of the case from accused,
witnesses, and police records.
Finally, judge and jury to-
gether decide on verdict and
sentence both, with each in
dividual having an equal
= vote. (But acquittals are re-
versible. and appeals are de-
cided only by judges.)
The story of DR.. Brach's
trial is as engrossing as any
fiction, and the ending a
surprise. Scarcely less inter-
esting is the trial of a man
