Hearing Granted
Woman Held in
St. EIizubeths

A court hearing has been
granted a woman sent to st.
Elizabeths Hospital who
charged that her treatment
would have been more humane
in prison.
The hearing was scheduled
for next Monday by District
Court Judge Joseph c. McGar-
raghy. The woman is Miss
Joan Tremblay, 33, a former
Government secretary.
She was committed in jan
uary after a Municipal Court
trial on an intoxication charge.
She tried to plead guilty but
was found not guilty because
Of insanity.
Lawyers Richard Arens and
Mark Sandground told the
judge that Miss Tremblay is
sane and should be released.
Earlier, Mr.. Arens said the
confinement was endangering
her mental health.
Assistant United States At
tonrey Oscar Altshuler said
Miss Tremblay's sanity claim
raised a factual issue on which
a court hearing could be held.
He did not oppose the hearing.
Judge McGarraghy declined
to rule on whether it had been
improper for the trial judge to
reject Miss Tremblay's guilty
plea. A case on this point is
now before the Supreme Court

Hughes Pays Visit
To Kennedy
Praise for Meyner

Gov. elect Richard H.
Hughes of New Jersey called
on President Kennedy today
and lavished praise on retiring
Gov. Robert B. Meyner for his
help in the Democratic upset
victory in that State.
Judge Hughes said he did
not specifically ask the Presi-
dent to appoint Gov. Meyner to
an ambassadorial or other post
when his term expires. But he
said he understood Gov.
Meyner was under considera-
ton for a Federal appoint
ment.
Judge Hughes, who defeated
former Secretary of Labor
James Mitchell, the Republi-
can nominee, said he came to
the White House to thank the
President for his assistance in
the campaign. The President
spoke at Hughes rally in Tren-
ton shortly before the election.
The President told the Gov
ernor-elect that his victory
made a big difference and en-
couraged a lot of people not
only in New Jersey but
throughout the country. He ex-
planned that he found this out
lon his recent Western swing.

; Issues Up
On Appeal in
Murder Case
By PHIL THOMAS
Star Staff Writer

The United States Court of
Appeals has before it a first
degree murder case that raises
three major legal questions
probable cause, insanity and
confession.
The arguments in the case
of John A. Naples were sub
mitted to all nine judges of
the appellate court yesterday
by attorneys Albert Ahern and
Charles Halleck, jr., appointed
by the court to handle the
case on appeal.
Naples, %, was convicted
last March by District Court
Judge Alexander Holtzoff on
charges Of murder during the
commission of a felony (first
degree murder), second degree
murder, HOUSEKEEPING an d
larceny.
He had been charged in the
fatal stabbing in December,
1858, of Miss Edna Jewell, 81,
in her apartment in the 200
block Of Massachusetts, avenue
NE.
His attorney had offered an
insanity defense and had OBJ
jected to the admission in
evidence of a confession made
to police before the youth was
arraigned on a homicide charge.
Arrest Challenged
Yesterday, Mr.. Ahern and
Mr.. Halleck charged that the
police did not have probable
cause to arrest Naples merely
on the basis of a phone call
from his brother, Louis, that
John said he had done some
thing awful" and had a knife.
Mr.. Ahern argued that Judge
Holtzoff violated the Mallory
rule when he allowed the con-
fession to be admitted in evil
dence.
Mr.. Halleck suggested that

their old building by the end
of the month, he said.
Besides, he told the council,
I'VE don't have any more
money. We're in debt to our
neck"
Major Frank Mann said the
fact that other buildings might
be in violation should not be
considered by the council in
dealing with this specific case.
In separate action, tn e
council:
Decided to devote an entire
session December S to a hear
ing on annexation of a section
of Fairfax County. Time also
will be given to hearing rec
concentrations for city charter
changes.
New Snow Ordinance
Passed the first reading of
a temporary show ordinance
that would list emergency snow
routes and require motorists to
use snow tires or chains. The
council also proposed change
in the State law to give local
tiles the right to enact stiffer
snow ordinances.
Voted to spend $500 "or as
much as necessary" for law
yerS' fees to defend the three
election judges being sued for
$150,000 by Willard Van VAL
kenburgh, an Alexandria broker.
Mayor Mann said: This is
a simple matter of protecting
city employees in the pursuit of
their duties" He added that the
council was not deciding the
merits of the case.
Mr.. Van Valkenburgh charged
in his Federal court suit that
the three judges conSpired to
deprive him of his civil rights
under the Fourteenth Amend
ment to the United State S
Constitution.
He was sentenced to one hour
in Jail under a little-known
Virginia statute which requires
voters to hand ballots to elec-
ton officials. He insisted or
dropping the ballot in the box
himself.
Defendants in the suit are
Mrs. Dolores McMurray, Mrs
Margaret Hall and Mrs. Heller
Tucker.

, The Alexandria City Coun-
Gil has told a minister that he
and his parishioners cannot
use as a church the building
they bought recently for
$4,000.
: ''I don't know what I'm 60
1 ing to do" said the Rev. Fred
erick Houwen. pastor of Holy
Trinity Baptist Church.
Mr.. Houwen was told that
the two-story frame structure
at 528 North Columbus street
does not meet the fire code.
The building code prohibits
public gatherings in fr a m e
structures, Phillip Hall, acting
city manager, said last night,
adding that improvements to
the structure would not make
any difference.
Mr.. Houwen, who is IS and
Q retired Army master sergeant
with 80 years of service, two
weeks ago asked the council
for permission to use the build
ing until his parishioners could
build a new church on the va
cant land they own next door.
The church now rents a
building at 42S North Pit t
street, in an area that would
be torn down under the urban
renewal program.
Points to Others
The new building was pur-
chased because of the urban
renewal program, Mr.. Houwen
said.
He told the council two
weeks ago and again last night
that there are many churches
in Alexandria using fr a m e
buildings and that the USO,
the Pendleton Street Recreation
Center and the YWCA also are
in frame structures.
No report on other frame
structures used for public
gatherings was available last
night.

rishioners have to be out OF
