New Transit
Chief Backs
Full Budget

Construction Of mass trans
portation facilities for the Met
ropolitan area might be delayed
one year if House cuts in the
new agency's budget are sus-
tained, a Senate Appropriations
subcommittee was told today.
c. Darwin Stolzenbach, ad-
ministrator- designate Of the in
FAINT National Capital Trans
portation Agency, appealed for
restoration Of the full 1915, 900
request of the President. The
money would finance a study
and recommendation to Con-
gress by November, 1862, of a
permanent mass transit system
for Washington and its en-
vironS.
Emphasis will be placed on
a downtown subway, as directed
by Congress in creating the
agency. according to Mr.. Stol-
zenbach. With the $975 900,
he said, subway construction
might begin in 1864. The one
third cutback by the House to
$650,000 threatens a delay until
1865, he warned.
National Challenge
Senator Bible, Democrat of
Nevada, an original sponsor of
the legislation establishing the
agency, said its job challenges
not only Washington, but the
United States.
He lent support to the Stol-
zenbach plea because, he said,
the Federal area has an uppor-
tunity to work within an lex
cellent legislative framework"
to solve complex urban trans
portation problems battling the
whole Nation.
Specifically, the House voted
to allow a total of so employees,
compared to rs requested; to
disallow $4,000 for space
rental. and to cut back agency
plans to contract out special
jobs.
Administrator Praised
The agency now is headquar-
tered in a small building off
Lafayette Square. the site of a
proposed executive office build
ing due for construction within
two years.
Senator Bible got in a plug
for Mr.. Stolzenbach before the
Subcommittee on the Interior
Budget. He said it appeared
to him that the newly ap-
pointed administrator has
demonstrated a good grasp
of the difficult job he faces"
The Senate District Com
mittee unanimously recon-
mended confirmation of Mr..
Stolzenbach's selection by the
President, according to Chair
man Bible. who said he ex-
pected the full Senate to re-
ceive the nomination today.

FBI Settles Identity of Area Twins

Now, Steven and Bobby know
who they are, thanks to the
FBI-but they looked as if they
couldn't care less.
Since Monday, Mr.. and Mrs.
Louis Keller of Landover Hills,
Md, have been unable to tell
which of their twin sons was
which because their I'D ribbons
had fallen off. But the won-
ders of scientific crime detec-
ton came to the rescue.
Mrs. Keller explained that
when the 3-month-old twins
we're born in Prince Georges
General Hospital, they were
identified as "a" and "B." "a"
was named Steven and "B"
Robert. All was we'll until they
outgrew the I'D bracelets the
hospital had given them.
IT put a ribbon on each of
them then" Mrs. Keller said,
"but Monday the ribbons were
lost and now can't tell them
apart"
But the hospital had given
the Kellers souvenir birth
certificates" and on these were
the boys footprints. Today,
S. F. Latona, superintendent of
the Latent Fingerprint Section
of FBI's Identification Bureau,
pressed the babies feet to the
ink pad and matched the
prints with those on the birth
certificates"
The twins, once again
marked as "a" and "B" with
slips of paper, wriggled and
gurgled in the arms of a nurse.
When the prints of the fric-
ton lines on the certificates
matched under the magnifying
glass with the prints just
taken, it was decided which
really was Robert and which
was Steven. Mrs. Keller
slipped a brand new ribbon
around the foot of each boy.
The Kellers have another set
of twins at home, Patrick and
Michael, Az, and another son,
! Christopher, 3.

Federal leadership in preserving
urban areas over the Nation.
New bills, with White House
support, call for millions of
dollars in grants and loans to
save precisely the same kind
of land preserved here for dec
ades under the 1880 Capper-
Cramton Act.
Yet local residents carry a
greater share of total costs
under the Capper-C -Cramton Act
than is contemplated by the
new, national open-spaces bills.
Since 1880, Maryland has
contributed $l0.1 million to
preserve stream valley parks
around the Capital city, COM
pared with a Federal grant
through the same period of ST. 6
million.
Virginians, just beginning to
participate in Capper-Cramton
funding. have voted a SIS million
bond issue in Fairfax County to
bear their burden of costs.
Sought this morning before
an Appropriations Subcommit-
tee was restoration of $1.2 mil
lion to save undeveloped valleys
in Montgomery County. Md,
and Arlington and Fairfax
Counties and the city of Alex
andria, Va. The House slashed
this total request from the
budget of the National Capital
Planning Commission.
Senator Beall, Republican OF
Maryland, noted the annual
controversy over Federal re-
sponSibility for providing one
third of land acquisition costs
under Capper-Cramton. The
House maintains that thickly
settled areas around Washing
ton now can afford to pay the
total bill.
The House would end the
Federal responsibility on the
basis that this is a local matter
and Of no concern to the Dis
trict of Columbia or the Con-
gress," Senator Beall said in a
statement filed with the sub
committee.
The Senator maintained that
the House reasoning contra
dicted the concept of the
Washington Metropolitan Area,
recognized in civil defense,
sewage treatment and trans
portation laws enacted to meet
these problems comparatively
across jurisdictional boundaries
Speaking for the planning
commission. Charles Conrad,
associate director, singled out
the stream valley funding as
vital to save open spaces from
urban sprawl.

LET ME GIVE you an ex-
ample of what's going on"
he said. my firm, which is
one of the oldest members of
the Exchange, was a partici-
pant, a doubtful participant
I might say, in financing a
manufacturing concern.
ut was later underwritten
by another firm and offered
as an over-the-counter stock
at So a share.
"This company has no
earnings. AS yet it has no
product it can market. I
doubt that it has a patent.
Last year it lost SIS million.
But that stock has been
traded up until it is now SELL
ing in the 30S. My firm is
very embarrassed about all
this. If anyone asks us about

off. We tell them all the

you. And the response usu-
ally is: Yes, but we've been
told otherwise
what does the company
propose to make? Compu-
ters."
The man from Wall Street
took a longer and conclusive
pull on the Havana.
"You ask me-" he said,
"'Can it happen again?'

RIA 10 Study
Project Bid

The Redevelopment Land
Agency today deferred action
on how to dispose of one resi-
Dental 10-acre site in South
west Washington, and agreed
to put up for sale or lease a
second commercial site at a
fixed price of 26,500.
The parcel on which action
was deferred is bounded by M
and N streets and by Delaware
avenue and Fourth street. The
board had been expected to
decide whether to put the par
eel up for sale or to accede to
a request by the Lutheran Lay
mans Fellowship of Washing
ton to let the group build an
elderly persons project there.
No reason was assigned fol-
deferring action, but it was
believed the agency wanted
more time to investigate the
proposal of the Lutheran group
The organization has set up the
Fellowship Square Foundation
for the housing project
Milton j. PraSsas is chairman
of this group.
The second commercial par
eel which it was decided tc
advertise for sale is bounded by

and Seventh streets S.W. anc
contains slightly less than one
acre.
RIA staff members said the
average price per square foot
would be $9.67, but that lease
proposals also would be con-
sidered.
Competition for the land
among prospective redevelopers
would be based on the value
Of improvements, the quality
of design. and the skill in over
all planning. RIA said.
In another action, the agency
agreed to reduce the sale price
of a motel site by $53,283 to
Halsa Corp, headed by Harold
J. Steinberg, of New York.
Mr.. Steinberg contracted to
buy the land for $506,000 and
RIA previously agreed to re-
duce that price by whatever
amount foundations cost lin
excess of typical costs" Mr..
Steinberg submitted engineer
ing and architectural reports
putting this cost at $53,283.

Accreditation Won
By Teacher College
Middle States
Decision Ends
2-Yeur Worry

D. C. Teachers College today

certificate of accreditation by
the Middle States Association

Schools.
The colleges accreditation
had been in serious jeopardy
for more than two yearS-since
the association threatened to
withdraw its academic bless
ings in 1858.
Today'S action, reported by
DR.. Albert E. Meder, jr., asso-
citation chairman, gave local
educators-including DR.. Paul
o. Carr, Teachers College presi-
dent, and School Supt. Carl F.
Hansen-a long-awaited chance
to breathe a sigh of relief.
The colleges accreditation

proval to the schools stand
ing. At the same time the
NCATE warned that by COM
+parison with accredited insti-
tutions across the country, the
facilities of the District Teach
erS College suffer badly"
Got Second Warning
A similar warning was reis-
sued some months later and
led to a re-examination of the
facilities early this year by the
Middle States group. 1t was
this group which said today it
has voted to reaffirm the ac-
creditation" of the college.
DR.. Hansen Immediately sent
word of the action to all school
board members. The board
had done all it could in the
past two years." to bring the
college up to the required
standards.
Il am happy to report that
the commission has voted to
reaffirm the accreditation of
D. C. Teachers College," DR..
Hansen informed the board
members.
From a point at which the
college must have automatically
lost its accreditation short of
immediate action as pre-
scribed by the commission, the
college now has attained re-
affirmation" DR.. Hansen de-
clared.
Carr Gets Credit
This means accreditation
has been reaffirmed without
qualification"
He gave credit for the change
to DR.. Carr. the board, the fac
ulty and the colleges student
body.
DR.. Hansen also said that
today's action means the COL
lege is prepared now and the
Board of Education is surely

for expansion of services, in
cluding immediate emphasis
upon development of the junior

tended as pay-off money.
Washington was convicted of
bribery.
Capt. Thoman also testified

The signs, which give the

10 years ago at the expense of
Georgetown residents.
Today, 33 are missing-pre-
