Stiff Controls Drafted
For Sidewalk Cafes

The proposed regulations are
not limited to use of sidewalk
space for cafes. but they were
drafted with the goal of en-
couraging establishment of out
door, awning-Shad tables.
Under the proposals by Cor
poration Counsel Chester H.
Gray, the Commissioners would
have the right to close down a
sidewalk cafe at any time.
The sidewalk space would not
be used lin a manner or for a
purpose which the Commits
sioners find is deleteriouS to the
general character of the neigh
borhood, or is not in the best
interest of the general public. +"
Operations would be conducted
at all times in an orderly fash
ion"
A businessman interested in
opening a sidewalk cafe would
ask for a permit from the city's
Public Space Committee, which
would recommend to the Com
misSionerS.
The use of the sidewalk would
be for specified hours on Speci-
fled days. Other controls cover
such matters as insurance,
keeping open a pedestrian pas
Sageway. and the arrangement
of tables and chairs.
When the Commissioners take
action, establishment of side
walk cafes and other outdoor
business activities will be re-
stricted to specified streets. Mr..
Gray's recommendations we're:
Both sides of E street NV,
between Ninth and Fourteenth
streets; both sides of Connecti-
cut avenue. between H street
and Florida avenue; north side
of Pennsylvania avenue NV,
Sixth street to Twenty-sN cond
street; both sides of M street
NV, Eighteenth to Twenty
first street, and between
Twenty-ninth and Thirty
fourth streets.

Paul c. MCGEE was living in
a world Of fantasy last Novem-
ber IA when he is charged with
a $3.50 holdup of the Apex
Theater here. a psychiatrist
testified in District Court today.
DR.. Sam Parker of New York
said the 22-year-old former
part-time American University
student had been suffering
from emotional tension and
anxiety for many years" before
the holdup.
Young MCGEE is charged
with robbery and is also ac-
cused of slightly wounding po-
live Pvt. Alfred L. Black, 26,
during an exchange of shots
following the holdup of the
theater.
Taking the stand as a de-
fense witness, DR.. Parker said
that young MCGEE was men
tally sick the night of the
holdup, adding that the crime
was a direct result of the men,
tai illness.
Shy Since Childhood
He said the Larchmont
IN. " youth was shy boy
from early childhood who had
fantasies about killing and
gunplay." These fantasies built
up to a point of bursting .
reaching such a peak of inten-
sity he was unable to contain
them any longer"
This resulted in "the totally
destructive, the self-destructive
act of November a." DR.. Par
ker said. He outlined a long
series of interviews he had with
MCGEE in New York after the
youth surrendered to the FBI
there about a week after the
holdup.
The psychiatrist also said he

Robert c. Fitzgerald. His CO.
counsel, former State Senator
Frank L. Ball, will not be able
to take part in the trial until
Thursday because of illness,
Mr.. Fitzgerald told the court.
Falls Church is to be rep
resented during the trial, which
is expected to last several
weeks, by City Attorney Philip
N. Brophy and Attorney Robert
j. McCandlish.
The trial, expected to last
several weeks, will settle how
much if any - of FairfaX's
property the city can have and
how much it will have to pay
for what it gets.
In an attempt to forestall fu-
ture annexation, Fairfax County
has moved to consolidate with
the town of Clifton as one big
city.
Seven Corners Included
The annexation suit asks for
county territory surrounding
the city on three sides, includ-
ing the Seven Corners shopping
center. The area would triple
the city's 2.2-square- mile size
and increase it's population 2 y
times.
The case is being heard by
a panel consisting Of Circuit
judges Arthur w. Sinclair of
Fairfax, Lewis Jones OF Urbana
and William S. Jordan of Rad
ford.
The town of Vienna, mean
while. has asked the Fairfax
Circuit Court TO declare that
the county's plan to consolidate
with the town of Clifton into
a city is illegal.
In a suit filed yesterday by
Town Attorney Marcus l., Beck
ner. jr.. Vienna asked the court
to hold two sections of the con-
solidation law unconstitutional
The suit requested interpre-
tation of some sections of the
law and said Vienna would be
irreparably injured unless the
court holds up the county, s
planned referendum until after
Evening star., 1961-05-23

the interpretations are made.
Unless Vienna becomes a city, it
would be absorbed into the new
consolidated city.
Fairfax signed a consolida-
ton agreement with Clifton on
May 9 and the following day
asked the Circuit Court to set
a July II referendum date in
both Fairfax and Clifton. The
court is to act on the request
after the agreement and a pro-
posed city charter have been
advertised for four weeks.
Legal Basis Questioned
Vienna asked that its suit be
heard by the Circuit Court on
June 2. The suit argued that
present law provides authority
for the consolidation of counties
and towns with cities. 1t gives
no sanction for a merger be-
tween county and a town, the
suit said.
The law was written several
years ago and never has been
used for consolidation of a
county with a town.
The suit argued that. even
if the law permits such a con-
Solidation. certain of its Sec
tions are unconstitutional.
The town of Fairfax already
has filed a city petition, and
Vienna councilmen favor such
move to prevent dissolution
of the town.
Yesterday, an official of the
town of Fairfax replied to coun-
ty predictions that town tax
payers would face a tax increase
of from 81 to $l.40 if the town
should become successful in its
efforts to become a city.
The county's statement was
saturated with incorrect as
sumptions and basic errors, "
said a press release from Glenn
w. Saunders, jr., Fairfax town
manager.
Actually, the town could be-
come a city lat no increase in
taxes and with probably a de-
crease" Mr.. Saunders said.

Referees Proposed
For Juvenile Court
House Hearings
Called Thursday
On Court Bill
By GRACE BASSETT
Star Staff Writer

Legislation to put referees to
work on the District Juvenile
Court backlog was proposed to-
day by Senator Hartke, Demo-
crai of Indiana.
simultaneously, House hear
ings on a bill to transfer Juve-
nile Court to Municipal Court
and authorize a new Municipal
Court Judge were scheduled for
$50 am, Thursday.
Senator Hartke probably will
withhold his draft until it be-
comes clear whether the House
bill will be recommended for
passage or stalled in subcom-
mittee. Subcommittee Chair
man Davis, Democrat of Geor-
gia, has maintained that the
House bill, approved unani-
mously by his subcommittee,
was destined for clearance.
FavOrs More Judgeships
Senator Hartke's idea is to
have available an interim
measure to help combat juvenile
crime and rehabilitate youth
full offenders should some COM
promise legislation for adding
manpower to the juvenile court
fail.
Personally, the Senator IA
vorS creating two additional
Juvenile Court judgeships with
out the transfer.
But such bills have been
stalled in Congress for three
years. AS Congress has re-
manned immovable, months
elapsed between apprehension
of juveniles and their court
hearings here.
The backlog of 2,227 cases
at the end of last year has been
increasing at a rate of 100 cases
per month.
The Hartke draft calls for
appointment of two referees to
be salaried at SIS, 500 each an
nually. Sole Juvenile Court
Judge Orm Ketcham is paid
S17,50O a year.
He would submit three names
to District Commissioners for
each referee vacancy. Com
missioners would appoint them.
This dual control is aimed at
preventing the judge from be-
ing the single judge of referees
qualifications and, at the same
time. guaranteeing that the
judge and his referees will
work we'll together.
Under the Hartke proposal.
a referee would have to meet
legal requirements for the
Judge that he be "a member of
the bar, preferably a resident
of the District of Columbia, and
have a knowledge of social
problems and procedures and
an understanding of child psy-
chology."
Modelled After ProvisO
Referees would report their
findings to the judge. Parents
or guardians of children could
appeal referees decisions to the
judge who then would be re-
quired to hold a hearing him
self. In the absence of an ap-
peal. the referees decisions
would be effective within three
days.
The proposal was modelled
after a referee proviso in a
standard Juvenile Court Act
written by experts in the field
under the auspices of the Ma
tional Probation and Parole
Association.
The Senator said he was con-
cerned over the impasSe in
providing additional judges
for the Juvenile Court.
