AIR TEST SHOWS
NO FALLOUT HERE

No radioactive fallout from
Russian nuclear bomb testing
has reached the Washington
area as yet, District Health Of
ficials reported yesterday.
The District is one of As sam
pling stations in the Nation
which has stepped up it's checks
into the amount of radioactivity
in the air at the request of the
United States Public Health
Service.
The step-up came after Rus
STA set off the first of the four
atmospheric bomb tests last
Friday and sample checks re-
vealed that Anchorage, Alaska,
showed fallout IS times greater
than the average daily level for
August.
There was some speculation,
however, that radioactivity from
the Asian tests may not have
reached here as yet.
Since Friday, the District
Health Department has been
making daily checks from atop
the Municipal Center building
In addition, it has stepped up
its tests into drinking water and
milk here. Health officers are
also looking into the source OF
the city's drinking water at
Great Falls.
Health officials also point out
that even the resumption Of
bomb testing by the Russians
will probably not cause any
high fallout here. Much more
radioactivity was thrust into
the atmosphere when both the
United States and Russia were
conducting atomic tests on 9
fairly regular basis.

your center's answers we're

that it was the 1920 admis-

Another was What was

Both answered that it

that any territory coded by

| STANTON, Va, Sept. 8
(AP). The State Supre m
Court today upheld Virginia's
new Sunday closing law in its
entirety.
The courts ruling will not
take effect for 10 days to allow
time for possible requests for
further review. The law lists
numerous items which may not
be sold on Sunday.
The high court upheld with
one exception the lower court
ruling by Judge M. Ray Doubles
of Hastings Court, Part II, in
Richmond.
The exception was that Judge
Doubles said the law could not
ban the sale of sporting goods
and equipment in some loca-
tions and allow it in others.
The law says such equipment
may be sold near or at recrea-
tional areas only on Sunday.
Merchants Appeal
Richmond merchants who
appealed the case contended
the Sunday law which was eff
fective June 81, 1860. had been
repealed by a State code re-
vision which became effective
July l, 1860, leaving an earlier
Blue law in effect. The high
court said the legislative his
tory of the Blue law clearly
shows that the legislature did
not intend such result"
On the matter of religious
liberty. the court said that the
amended Sunday law was spon-

HERE'S THE STORY.

The football coach was
quite taken aback when the
professor of American his
tory told him he was going
to funk the center.
He's my hope for next
season." protested the coach.
Don't tell me he hasn't
got brains.
Il marvel at his intuitive-
ness and quickness in sens
ing deceptive plays. They
seldom fool him.
Hes usually over the top
in the right direction and
breaking them up before
they get started.
You funk him and you
amt doin' right by dear old
Siwash." >s"c
The professor was ada
mant.

my attention, The said, that
your center has been guilty
of breaking our code of hon.
or by cribbing an examina-
ton" ..-......... ...

the coach.

sisted the professor.
You know 1 make these
examinations easy. That's
why so many of your broad
shouldered dumb Dummies
take it.
Il only ask them about the
highpointS of our history.
They all seem to know that
the Civil War started 100
years ago-they heard that
on the radio.
This was a 20-question
examination.

officials had permitted the
boy to be taken from the re-
ceiving home for questioning.
Deplores Quizzing Child"
Il was appalled, to find out
that he was made available for
questioning" Mr.. Arens de-
clared.
Police said he has freely ad-
mitted committing the offenses
he is charged with.
Mr.. Arens labeled police in
terrogation of the 16-year-old
as an "inquisition inflicted on a
child" He charged that re-
lease of the youth to police
custody for questioning violated
the rules of the Juvenile Court
itself" .-.
Yesterday, court aides in ex-
planning why he was on proba-
ton, said the youth was appar-
emily model probationer.
Court records indicate he was
good student whose manner
appeared to be respectful, sim
cere and cooperative"
Placed on Probation
The teen-ager was placed on
probation for the first time in
April, 1859, after police accused
him of four -housebreakings
and an attempted purse
Snatching.
His attitude at the time,
court aides disclosed, was
straightforward and apparently
penitent.
The youth appeared before
Judge Ketcham again on De-
cember 7, 1859. He was &C
cused of snatching a woman's
pocketbook from an auto seat.
Court officials said he admit
ted the charge.
Excelled in School
On that occasion, the youths
indefinite probation was can
celled and he was placed on
probation until his 18th birth
day. The court declared that
his adjustment. following the
first offense, had been good
and that he had excelled in
school.
Three months later, in
March. 1850, he was back in
court. He had been arrested by
police on i disorderly conduct
charge after a "19-year-old girl
reported to police he was
peeping in a window Of her
home.
The charge was not pressed
by the courts director of
social work, according to Mr..
Levathes. Court aides again
noted the boys promising ad-
justment.
Court records also indicated
that he was punctual and
regular in his probation report
appointments. In addition. it
was noted that he had been
elected president of his eighth
grade class at Junior high, had
been elected a school marshal
and was named as Junior
Red Gross delegate-alternate.
Sex squad detectives said the
husky teen-ager, who is six feet
tall and weighs 100 pounds, told
them after his arrest:
This has been getting worse
all the time. 1t used to be If a
woman screamed, ! ran. Then
if she screamed, l slugged her.
Then if she screamed, I raped
her"

man said.

Woman Clubbed and Raped
Police said the teen-ager,
identified as Morris Allen Kent.
of the 1900 block of s street
NV, was apprehended three
days after he allegedly raped
a 34-year-old woman in a
Dupont circle area apartment
last Saturday after clubbing
her with flatiron.
The appeal for month-lone
psychiatric evaluation was filed
in Juvenile Court today BY
Attorney Richard Arens, who
said he agreed to represent the
teen-ager at the request of the
American Civil Liberties Union
Mr.. Arens charged that pro-
longed police questioning of the
youth amounted to an "un-
constitutional" and "merciless'
inquisition. The attorney said
he has protested the Juvenile
Courts action in allowing the
teen-ager to be taken by police
from the Receiving Home fol-
questioning.
Counsel without Fee
The attorney, who said he
became counsel for the Kent
youth without fee after being
asked by ACLU officials tt
look into the "constitutionality'
of the case, added that q

More d. c. Calls

number of telephone calls they
have received since the middle
of July rose from an average
of 40 a month to 1000.
Melvin E. Mcbride, acting
Civil Defense director for the
District, said his office received
1874 letters seeking shelter in
formation in June. In July,
mail mounted to 1888.
A poll of area builders work
ing on shelter construction re-
veals they too have been flood
ed with inquiries.
A nearby Maryland building
firm reported it received or
ders for Is shelters during last
month. A District firm manag-
er said his firm has orders for
five.
Licensing officials here said
as far as they know. only about
half dozen shelters have been
built in the Washington area
thus far. Permits are required,
however. only for new struc-
lures. There is no way of know
ing. it was reported. how many
residents have been building
shelters in their Easements.
Engineer Assistance
AS an incentive to- shelter
construction. the LICENSING de-
partment also announced to-
day it would make available
to the public the services of
two engineers to help in inter-
preting the building plans and
to give advice on District build
ing code regulations.
This is our part in the push
for civil defense action" Will
liam N. Dripps, superintendent
of the inspection division, said.
Permits will be offered for
any of the five basic drawing
plans included in Family
Fallout Shelter" Mr.. Dripps
said.
The least expensive of the
shelters is a do-it-yourself
basement concrete block shell
ter that officials estimate
would run about $400 for the
building materials.
The other four, which would
require assistance of a build
ing contractor, would cost a
minimum of about $500, it was
estimated.
Each of the shelters incor-
porates the fundamentals for
fallout protection - shielding
masses of concrete blocks for
protection against radioactive
ity, ventilation and a space
to live.

D. G. Backs FoIIout Shelter Plans
By ROBERTA HORNIG
Star Staff Writer

District licensing officials
today gave their stamp of ap-
proval to fallout shelter designs
drawn up by national civil
defense planners.
The plans are included in an
Office of Civil and Defense
Mobilization pamphlet, The
Family Fallout Shelter"
The move by the Department
of Licenses and Inspections was
made in the wake of heightened
interest by Washington area
residents in shelter building.
Civil defense officials re-
ported they have been flooded
with telephone and mail re-
quests for shelter information
since President Kennedy's
speech on national defense, the
Berlin crisis and the resump-
ton of nuclear testing by
Russia.
I've been in this office for
six years and I've never before
seen this kind of interest,"" a
spokesman for the Office of
Civil and Defense Mobilization
reported. THE public has been
stirred. There is no panic. just
resolve"
The office has been receiving
an average of 500 telephone
calls a day from area residents
and a few from persons as far
away as Florida, the spokesman
continued.

Dr.. Jones Coils
Location Ideal
And Space Ample
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star staff Writer

The medical director of
Freedmen's Hospital said yes
terday that he hopes the new
hospital building authorized by
Congress can be built at the
site of Griffith Stadium.
Dr.. Frank Jones said the
stadium area would be ideal for
the proposed hospital structure
because of the ample space
it would provide and because
of its proximity to Howard
University.
He said he believes the hos
pital building can be completed
within three to four years.
The legislation sent to the
President authorizing the hos
pital structure also transferred
complete control over the hos
pital to Howard University.
This measure was approved
by Congress only after a hard
fight of more than five years.
DR.. Jones said Griffith
Stadium is in the middle of an
area now being studied for pos
sible urban renewal action. He
added that since the new Dis
trict Stadium will be opened
this fall, it is quite conceiv-
able that Griffith Stadium will
be torn down.
