MlND READERS

a chair of parapsychology and named
director of the new Parapsychology
Institute, in recognition of his trail
blazing studies.
The Institutes growing fame has
encouraged people all over the world
to write or even phone about per-
sonal matters which are trivial from
a scientific viewpoint. A California
woman woke DR.. Tenhaef one MORN
ing at S am. on a 6,5OO-mile tele-
phone call to ask, Can you find out
if I'll be married within two years?"
AFrench housewife inquired, Can
you help me find my missing cat?'
An Australian woman wanted to
know: ''How can get in touch with
a short dark man l was in love with
20 years ago?" An elderly German
businessman wrote, I've been hap
PLY married for 81 years, but can you
tell me whether my wife was chaste
before | married her?"
Don't bring personGI problems
please, don't have your readers
write us intimate letters like these"
begged Nicky Louwerens, DIR. Ten
haeff's research associate. Naturally,
we welcome documented cases about
extrasensory perception. But We don't
have time to answer personal letters
about love, marriage, divorce, jobs,
lost money, life expectancy of parents
i and neither do our paragnosts."
DR.. Tenhaef has fascinating the.
ory. He is convinced that the mental
abilities displayed by his paragnosts
aren't new.
Primitive peoples had more tele-
pathic gifts than we have," says this
great scholar and scientist. ''As we
become more civilized, these powers
tend to recede. But believe that our
ancient paragnostic abilities will come
back ON higher plane. These mys-
terious lost powers are basic and natu-
raj in man.

belief? Next .reek read the incredi-

Bar Secrecy
On Judges

The District Bar Association
failed for the fourth time last
night to settle a dispute over
whether 1t should publicize the
names Of those 1t recommends
to fill judgeships here.
Six proposals were up for
consideration by the member
ship ct a meeting at the May
flower Hotel. but all of them
failed-one by four votes-to
receive the required two-thirds
majority approval required.
Three of the proposals, in
cluding one recommended by
the associations board Of di-
rectors, called for keeping the
organizations judicial selec-
tions committee in its present
autonomous form. Two pro-
posals required that selections
Of names for vacant judgeShips
be made public. Two other pro-
.posals call for making the COM
mittee more responsive to the
will Of the membership, while
keeping the secrecy procedure
on the names.
After more than two hours
Of debate, when all the pro-
posals had failed Of adoption,
a laSt-minute effort was made
to combine proposals that call
ed for publicity on the names
and less autonomy for the COM
mittee. However, association
president Richard w. Galliher
ruled this move was out Of
order, and his ruling was up
held by q 52-46 vote.
The association had pre-
viously tried to resolve the issue
at meetings held in November,
December and in February.
The board proposal-with the
secrecy provision-was tabled
in, November: the December
meeting held following q heavy
snowStorm. failed to provide a
quorum for action, and a mo-
ton to table closed the debate
at last months meeting.

Hottie Jackson
Death Confession
Doubted by Police

A 33-year-old District mu-
sician early today led police on
a fruitless search in Rock Greek
Park and Northwest Washing
ton for the body of Hattie
Jackson, the 6-year-old girl
who has been missing since last
July:
Detectives from the sex and
homicide squads, aided by
Park Police, escorted the man
through various sections of the
park after he turned himself
in" at District police head
quarters early today.
According to Inspector John
L. Sullivan of the missing per-
sons squad, the man told police
he had "killed the Jackson girl"
and left her body in a suitcase
in a room in the 2300 block of
Porter street NV.
After a search of that ad-
dress failed to produce any,
thing, the man, told police he
had stuffed her body into an
incinerator at Fourteenth and
Fairmont streets NV.
Inspector Sullivan said that,
too, proved untrue, and detec-
tives returned with the man
to Rock Creek Park, where he
failed to substantiate any
known clues about the girls
abduction.

ByKennedy

President Kennedy today
signed into law six bills affect
ing the District, including one

inventory control basis. Dealers
will have to place an identifi-
cation on each bottle or con-
tainer but no longer will have
to buy tax stamps.
Other bills will:
Amend the Healing Arts
Practices Act to ease provisions
for licensing foreign-trained
doctors and doctors who studied
in non-accredited medical
schools.
Confer on Municipal Court

Act to permit District COM
panies to purchase stock in
other insurance companies to
acquire an affiliate specializ-
ing in other forms of coverage.
Correct deficiencies in the
present law for providing a new
basis for determining marital
property rights. 1t restores dow
er rights and makes them ap-
plicable to both husband and
wife. 1t clarifies the law re-
garding the rights Of a Surviv-
ing spouse to renounce a will
and limits the interest a super
visor can take against the will
Of the deceased spouse. It pro-
vides for payment of debts,
taxes and administrative ex-
penses out of the decedent's

13 Neighbors Protest
GU Restaurant Plan

A Georgetown University
alumnus' plan to establish g
restaurant near the university
in the tradition of Maury's al
Yale and the Nassau Tavern at
Princeton, has been protested
by a group of neighboring resi-
dents.
The alumnus, Richard J.
McCooey, said he hopes to
convert two adjacent structures
on the northwest corner of
Thirty-sixth and Prospec
streets NV, into a dining ia
cility to be known as the 1888
ReStaurant-in honor of the
year of the university's found
ing.
If approved by District Off
cials, the establishment will be
operated with the sanction of
university officials, since the
structures to be remodeled were
purchased two years ago by the
University and subsequently
leased to Mr.. McCooey.
"Trish- English Pub"
Mr.. .McCooey said the res
taurant is to be designed to
appeal principally to univer-
sity students, faculty members
and alumni, but will be open
to the public. He said the cost
of remodeling the old Thirty
sixth street buildings - which
formerly housed a Chinese
laundry and a beer-and-wine
cafe-will run into six fig
ureS."
Restaurant hackers said the
existing premises at 1224-1226
Thirty sixth street will be con-
verted into a two-story struc-

ture designed "in the best ira
dition of Georgetown Federal
architecture. Restaurant facil-
tiles will include a main-floor
dining room, an informal dining
room below street level, a coffee
shop and an Irish English
pub"
Opposing the project are 13
residents in the vicinity of the
proposed restaurant.
Their attorney, Charles R
Richey, said he will file an
appeal with the Board of zon-
ing Adjustment if the District
coming administrator grants a
remodeling permit to the res
taurant corporation.
Liquor Permit Also Opposed
Mr.. Richey said his clients
also will oppose the restaurant
groups application for a Class
&C" liquor license, a permit
enabling the sale in a restau-
rant of beer, wine and liquor
In addition, the opposition
attorney said he will urge the
Districts licensing and inspec-
ton chief, j. j. ngenfritz, to
issue a stay blocking the re-
modelling permit.
An Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board hearing on the res
taurant's permit request has
been scheduled at 10 am.
September Is.
The opposition attorney de-
clared he has urged the Board
of Commissioners to re-examine
the ABC boards policy of with
holding data on license applica-
tions until the date of a hear
ing.

2 Escapes
Still Free

Maryland State police today
continued to search for two of
three prisoners who escaped
from the Clifton T. Perkins
State Hospital after saving the
bars of a Second-floor window.
Captured yesterday about 16
hours after he fled the Jessups
hospital for the criminally in
sane was Christopher Clyde
Mickler, IT, of Port Tobacco,
Md. He shot and killed his
father, S. Albert Mickler, in
their home last November IA.
He was found not guilty by
reason of insanity, and was
hospitalized.
Young Mickler was seized by
State Trooper John c. Warm
ken near Routes l and ITS.
The youth had taken a change
of clothing and sun glasses
from a nearby home. He offered
no resistance.
Still missing are Jonathan
Solomon Sellers, 81, of Tren-
ton, N. j., undergoing pre-
trial examination in connec-
ton with a charge of armed
robbery of a Baltimore savings
and loan firm last spring, and
George Walton, 20, for whom
no home address was listed,
serving a 20-year term for the
rape of a l3-year-old girl.
The three prisoners had heen
confined to a four-bed unit of
the hospital, according 10 in
stitution officials. They could
not explain the source of the
hacksaw blade used to cut the
bars.
The blade was found on the
roof, left by The prisoners be-
fore they lowered themselves
to the ground on a rake shift
rope of five sheets and pillow
cases. The fugitives then
scaled a 14-foot wall and fled
between 1:30 and 2 am.
Since its opening in jan
uary, 1860. seven prisoners
have escaped from the .nstitu-
ton. All have been captured.

Potomac Citizens Block
Ballet Society School

dent and treasurer of the So
ciety, is presently buying the
4-acre property, and plans to
lease it to the Ballet Society
for 81 a year. State Senator
Edward S. Northrop. Mrs.
Riddell's attorney, said she
plans to continue to press for
the zoning variance.
The boards action today
came after about Is Potomac
residents presented a long list
of reasons why they thought
the school request was illegal
During the hearing, board
member Edwin L. Bright dis
qualified himself and let three
of his colleagues make the de-
ciSion.
The board decided the appeal
was not legal because the So
'ciety had failed to give neigh
boring property owners a full
15-day notice of the hearing.
Citizens of the neighborhood,
led by John H. Mullaney, an
electrical engineer, argued at an
earlier hearing that the school
would change the character of
Potomac. After today'S hear
ing, another neighbor, William
j. Barnhard, an international
lawyer, said residents felt that
traffic to and from the school,
parking lot lights, and other
factors would change the rural
character of the community.
At the August "a appeal
hearing, Mrs. Riddell's request
was also denied on a techni-
cality. At that time it involved
the distance of a proposed sign
from the boundary line of the
property.

Citizens of Potomac, Md, to-

Ballet Society in a whirl, which
wasn't exactly a pirouette.
The citizens, for the second

The action came when the
Montgomery County Board of
Appeals dismissed, on technical

"The restoration of Eliot was

DR.. Hansen told reporters.

Smith Urges
S3o Million
For Memorial
Tribute to Madison
Includes Library
Costing SIS Million

Representative Smith, Demo-
crat of Virginia, who has led
many a bitter battle against
Federal spending, today found
himself asking for a $39 mil
lion expenditure.
Mr.. Smith feels he has good
reason.
He testified briefly in be-
half of his bill authorizing a
memorial to another Virginian
James Madison.
Judge Smith, appearing be.
fore a House Public Works SUBJ
committee, also attempted tc
straighten out a. misconcep-
ton that the memorial alone
will cost $39 million.
The memorial is to be To-
Gated directly south and across
independence avenue from the
main building of the Library OF
Congress. But it also will pro-
vide an underground annex for
the library.
Costs Explained
Judge Smith emphasized thai
the memorial, which will in
clude a library Of its own with
research facilities, will cost
roughly $25 million while the
underground annex will bt
constructed for about $14
million.
The Judge was faced with 6
rather difficult question wher

lican of Michigan, said he hao
always held the conservative
views of the witness in the
highest regard, particularly

sidered non-essential expend.
itures, Mr.. Harvey said he hac
considerable doubt" whether
he could justify voting for the
library expansion and memoria
when he returned home.
I'VE could we'll spend some
money" Mr.. Smith said, "or
bringing to the attention of the
people the fundamental prin.
ciples on which this country
was founded. 1t might bring u!
back.
/ IF we could just educatt
people it would be the greatest
thing we could do"
U. S. Debt Noted
When Mr.. Harvey answered
that he was worried about the
size of the Federal debt, Mr.
Smith agreed he had a goot
point and said, "It's been both.
ering me longer than it ha!
you"
| Also testifying was j. George
Stewart, architect of the Cap.
itol. He showed members o.
the subcommittee preliminary
plans for the memorial but
said they could not be released
to the public at this time.
The plans show the memoria.
to be about the size of the
Folger Shakespeare Library
Its design is classical and il
expected to harmonize with
existing buildings on Capitol
Hill. It's exterior would be
marble with a granite base.
The legislation is not ex-
pected to be acted on until the
next session of Congress. The
plans so far have the power
full support of Speaker Ray
burn, the James Madison Me-
mortal Commission and the
House office Building Com
mission. 49,.
( Also backing the proposal
in testimony today was Ruther-
ford D. Rogers, acting librarian
of Congress.
