A SELECT GROUP of bon
wants, members of the Co
rinthian Yacht Club, know
that it is the finest water
front property in the District.
Their clubhouse and marina
are on the point.
Mrs. Halls interest is un-
derstandable. She purchased
an acre or more on the tip
of the point for the new
Halls Restaurant, which is
about to open.
The taxi driver was doubt
full but he drove down Main
avenue to NJ and turned
right at First street. He pro-
ceeded with caution.
First street is a beautiful
avenue looking south. 1t is
arched by elms that were
planted before the start OF
this century. They suggest
the nave of a Romanesque
rather than a Gothic cathe-
dral. The leafy vaulting
above is rounded, not point
ed.
Finally we passed the
PEPCO plant on our left and
crossed v street there is
such a street, and entered
the dirt road a block long
that runs right into the
river.
On our right was a long,
one-story brick building
the new Halls Restaurant.
The south side of the
building has long plate glass
windows opening on a view
of the Potomac that goes
right down to Alexandria.
Everything was spick and
span.
Julie was there to greet
us, the Baltimore Italian girl
WHO married an Irishman
named Frank Hall who had
inherited the old restaurant
from his uncle, Julie inherit
ed it from him.

nous opinion yesterday on the
grounds that the prosecution
failed to prove generalization.
The presiding justice. Judge
B. F.. Van Dyke. said, 1.-THE rec
ord in this case is singularly
barren of any proof that the
killing" was committed with
any preconceived plan. The
appellate court held that errors
1 in the trial at Downieville,
Calf, as cited by defense at
torneys. were not prejudicial to
Motherwell and that there was
sufficient proof for a second
degree conviction. Presiding at
the trial was Judge Warren
Steel.
The opinion also took a hard
slap at one of the prosecutors,
Sierra County States Attorney
Gordon Smith. The tribunal
said. However, when the whole
record is considered, we do not
believe it can be said that the
diatribes of the District At
torney, Objectionable as they
were, resulted in denying the
appellant a fair trial before a
jury"
No EyewitneSses
When Motherwell was con-
victed of the Staying on March
is, 1860, his defense attorneys,
Washington lawyer John T.
Reyes and Robert Fugazi of
Truckee, Calf. declared no
other State would have con-
victed the defendant of murder.
There were no eye witnesses to
Mrs. PutneY's death and it was
impossible to determine the
cause of death.

It's not in the jungle. It's
on the river front.
Earlier in the day he had
been telephoned by that
noted Washington antiquari-
an and boniface, Mrs. Julia
Hall. She wanted to know if
he had anything on the his
tory of Buzzards Point. She
said that Andy Tully's re-
cent book, "The Day They
Burned the White House"
had said that it was called
Bloody Field"
The Star library failed to
produce anything. Buzzards
Point is where the Anacostia.
OF. Eastern Branch, begins to
widen into the Potomac.
Greenleaf Point, on which
Fort Leslie McNair is located,
is between the Anacostia
and Washington Channel a
bit to the west. Hams Point,
between Washington Chan
mel and the Potomac, is far
ther west and both extend
progressively farther south
or down river.
All that most Washington
ians know about the first
point is that's where PEPCO's
Buzzards Point power plant
thrusts its stacks into the
air.

New RIA Chief

The selection of Phil A. Doyle to
succeed John Searles as director of the
Redevelopment Land Agency appears to
be an excellent one. AS director for
the last several years of the Chicago
Land Clearance Commission (an agency
quite comparable to the RLA), Mr.. Doyle
has gained a reputation as competent
technical expert. He also is we'll ac-
quainted with Washington as former
resident, and his prior Federal service in
the urban renewal field will provide a
valuable background of experience for
his dealings with the Federal Govern
ment here.
1t is worth noting also that Mr..
Doyle is accepting the RIA job at
substantial reduction in salary. Indeed,
it was feared that the RIA salary set
by Federal pay scales, might prove
troublesome in finding the right man.
Notwithstanding this limitation, how
ever, it is heartening to learn that
several high-caliber and well-qualified
men were interested in the job. Finally,
the RIA board is to be commended for
the expeditions and businesslike manner
in which it sought out the man it
wanted, rather than to wait for appli-
cations to roll in.

Mr.. Slim Takes the Chair

No President of the United Nations
General Assembly has taken the
presiding chair in that body at a more
threatening moment of world history
than "a man of Africa" Mongi Slim of
Tunisia, who succeeded to that post on
Wednesday. The crisis list is long and
complex, and does not need to be
reviewed here.
Mr.. Slim has been we'll known in
Washington as his country's Ambassador
here for five years. He is equally well
known in the United Nations itself,
where he was serving also as Tunisia'S
Ambassador. In those two roles, as in his
earlier career as leader in his country'S
struggle for political independence, he
established a reputation as an aStute
diplomat and Skillful negotiator-a
practitioner of moderation, but never
a compromiSer on what he considered
principle.
Even in his inaugural address, Mr..
Slim did not choose words of compro-
mise on certain of the controversial and
disturbing issues of the day. With
reference to his own continent, he
voiced the trust that Algeria and Angola
in particular will soon have their in
dependence without more suffering"
and that "the hideous spectre of raciSm"
will be baniShed in South Africa. OF the
U. MS own bitterly divisive problem
finding a successor to Dag Hammar-
skiold or agreeing on an administrative
reorganization-h took his position in
support of the charter as it now stands.
All of these are views that are not
unanimously held in the assembly over
which Mr.. Slim will preside.
For any or all who even hope for
better world, however, there should be
an echo of Mr.. Sims prayer: MAY it
please God that this session of the
General Assembly, which has begun
under the shadow of sorrow, will finish
under the sign of hope"

Crooks Get All the Breaks

-, The current issue of the Saturday
Evening Post speaks out strongly on a
subject we have also discussed frequently
In these columnS-the tendency of some
judges to worry more about the rights
of criminals than the rights of the
public to be protected against assaults,
robberieS and rapes. An article in the
magazines Speaking Out" department.
by Virgil w. Peterson, former FBI agent
who now heads the Chicago Crime Com
mission, is aptly titled "The Crooks Get
All the Breaks" And Mr.. Peterson cites
numerous cases, including two in the
local courts, to support his thesis.
One of the District cases was that
OF man whose conviction for the
holdup-slaying of grocer was reversed
by the Supreme Court last April Justice
Frankfurter, one of the four dissenting
justices, accused the majority of having
"plucked" an isolated harmless error"
from the trial record "to turn a criminal
proceeding into a quest for error" The
other local case involved the reversal
by the United States Court of Appeals
of the conviction of narcotics violator
because officers, on seeing a woman
deposit something in a garbage can,
opened the can, found a bottle of
narcotics and arrested the woman.
Dissenting Judge Warren E. Burger
commented: Il cannot find a funda-
mental constitutional right to privacy
in the garbage or trash pail of rooming
house where the receptacle is located
out of doors in sight from the street :"
Says Mr.. Peterson in his article:
"Too many. judicial proceedings are
turning into quests for error. Trials
and hearings become games in which
the criminal usually wins and the public
loses There has developed in Amer
lea legal concept which approves, even
encourages, almost any tactic which will
set free person accused of crime.
Every trick in the book is used to
prejudice the judge or Jury against the
peoples case. But any statement by
States witness or the prosecutor which
might be considered prejudicial to the
defense will result in a mistrial or the
reversal of conviction"
We agree with Mr.. Peterson and
some judges--who unfortunately seem
to be in the minority-that the public
has rights which also demand jealous
protection by the courts, fact which
some higher court judges seem to have
forgotten.

Rush-Hour Porkwoys

1t is disappointing, and somewhat
surprising, that Engineer Commissioner
Clarke and Park Director Wirth are at
odds once again over whether COM
muters using a new Potomac River
bridge-thiS time the proposed span at
Three Sisters Island-wil1 be able to get
to and from the George Washington
Memorial Parkway in Virginia
Certainly it is no surprise that Mr..
Wirth should look with disfavor on such
a connection, for he made precisely
the same objection to the traffic
interchange plans for the new Theodore
Roosevelt Bridge, now under conStruc-
ton near the foot of Constitution
avenue. In that case, however, common
sense prevailed. The connection was
agreed to; Virginia commuters who
choose to use the Roosevelt Bridge will
be perfectly free to drive to and from
the parkway. What earthly difference,
therefore, does it make if the same
privilege exists at the site of the Three
Sisters Bridge? Indeed, as General
Clarke has pointed out, such an inter
change at Three Sisters would move a
number of VirginianS across the river at
a point considerably farther upstream,
so that at least a certain number of
them might be diverted from the
Lincoln Memorial area, where park
officials have an altogether under
Standable objection to excessive traffic.
1t is true, as Mr.. Wirth often has
stated, that there is a difference in
concept between parkway and an
expreSSway. Pathways preclude trucks;
they are more attractively Handicapped;
their primary function generally is to
provide access to areas of beauty, such
as the Potomac River gorge. But to
preclude, on the basis of these differ
ences, the use of such a marvellous road
as the George Washington Parkway to
help ease the frightful bottlenecks
which exist in the Potomac area during
the morning and evening rush hours
would be simply ridiculous.
Fortunately, the Three Sisters issue
is still in the talking stage. During
recent months, Mr.. Wirth and General
Clarke have resolved several far more
difficult problems involving the highway
and park systems. 1t would be pity
If such a simple problem as this should
mar their record of amicable and rea-
Sonable agreement.

Function of D. c. Apprenticeship Council

Department of Labor that
there was objection to racial
notations.
AS a cursory reading of
the Bridges-Randolph Act
will indicate, the council has
no referral or placement re-
SponSibilities. Locally, the
responsibility for counselling,
referring and placing people
in jobs. including apprentice
ships, rests with the United
States Employment Service
for D. c., United States De-
partment of Labor, estab-
liShed under Section 3 (a)
of the Wagner-Peyser Act of
1888. Any service the Ap-
premiership Council renders
in this area would obviously
be strictly gratuitous and in
the interest of the commu-
nifty. The council is being
clobbered for going out of its
way to do a certain segment
of our population a special
favor.
So far no one has pointed
out to the council how this
information, (even if we had
not kept it confidentiaD
could in any way be used for
discriminatory purposes. OBJ
viously, when an individual
reports to the employer or
the union hiring hall, his
race will be Immediately
revealed.
On August 7, 1859, the
council approved it's Order
No. IA, reaffirming in writ
ing the basic policy of the
Bridges-Randolph Act, that
apprentices should be Sc
lected only on their merit,

Blue Law Confusion

Virginias Supreme Court has upheld
as constitutional the States year-old
Sunday-closing blue law-but how some
of the confusing and ridiculous pro-
visions of the law are to be enforced is
a,queStion yet to be decided. The Gen
eral Assembly rewrote the old blue law
for the avowed purpose of ending a
vagueneSS which made it virtually un-
enforceable. But the consensus of many
lawyers and laymen who have tried to
figure out what may and may not be
sold hereafter on the Sabbath is that
the new law is even more confusing than
its predecessor. And several prosecutors
have limited they intend to rely chiefly
on voluntary compliance with the law
which probably means no enforcement
at all.
The trouble with the new law is
that in trying to be specific about items
banned from Sunday sale the General
Assembly created new problems that
would befuddle any Storekeeper, Gus
toner, prosecutor or judge. For example,
the law forbidS Sunday sale of meats
"customarily inedible without further
cooking or preparation" which would
seem to ban frankfurters (unless you
cuStomarily eat them without cooking),
while exempting salami, bologna and
the like. The salt meat" ban applies to
everything in the uncooked cured meat
line except ham-an important Virginia
product which the Legislature partic-
ularly and positively exempted. Milk
can be Sold-but not eggs, unless, per-
hapS, it can be established that they are
to be eaten raw, as in matted milk.
Sunday bought eggs are not for
Scrambling. In other categorieS, toys
may not be sold on Sunday, unless
they can be regarded as novelties" or
souvenirs" either of which may be sold.
And the law says that mobile homes
are legally salable on Sunday, leaving
up in the air the question of immobile
homes (thoSe on foundations), since
nothing is said about them.
1t is because of these absurditieS
and complexities that Fairfax Common
wealth Attorney Robert Fitzgerald has

without regard to race, color,
creed or other nonperform-
ance factors. Prior to draft
ing this order, the council
had polled Joint Labor
Management Apprenticeship
Committees and open shop
employers and with approved
programs, and had been as
Sured that they would accept
qualified apprentice appli-
cants without regard to these
nonperformance factors.
1t is a matter of record
that to date no one has filed
a complaint of discrimina-
ton with the council against
any apprenticeship commit
tee, employer or union with
an approved program.
To avoid any future mis-
representation of its func-
tions or services, and to make
certain that all future ap-
premiership placements are
made in accordance with the
latest anti-diScrimination di-
receives of the United States
Department of Labor, the
council is referring all appli-
cants to the USES for D. C.
office, 1924 F street NV,
and instructing all JACs, ap-
proved employers, and voca-
tional and employm e n t
counselors to do the same.
The USES gets calls to fill
apprenticeships which do not
meet the councils minimum
standards. Only about so per
cent of local apprenticeships
are covered by the council.

Musical Baltimore

I read with interest the
recent remarks of Irving
Lowens concerning the lack
of representation of works
by American composers in
the symphonic performances
in Baltimore. Lest the i'm
preston be gained that this
city is entirely without music
in this category, I am writing
with regard to the activities
of the Baltimore Chamber
Orchestra Program Of
Goucher College.
For the past year Goucher
College has administered an
unusual series of free con-
certS given by the Baltimore
Chamber Orchestra; IA con-
certS have. been given. There
are three extraordinary char
acteriStics of this program:
Cd All concerts are given
free in schools, colleges, and
public centerS; (2) each con-
cert features a young Ameri-
can soloist who has won a
prize of significance for per-
formance, such as a Rookie
feller, Fulbright or LADO
(soloistS such as Stuart
Canin, Veronica Tyler, Mar
tina Arroyo, Daniel Abrams
and William Preucil have ap-
peared); and 90 each pro-
gram, in addition to con-
tanning standard works as
well as compositions of mu-
sociological interest for cham
ber orchestra, also includes a
composition by an American
composer of the past or the
present. Thus, in this cate
CORY, Baltimore has heard
works by Hommann, Ham
erik, Chadwick, Paine, Mary
Howe, Wayne Barlow, Robert
Lewis, Sessions, Riegger and
COPELAND. The last three COM
posers have been present at
Goucher performances of
their music. Many Of these
American compositions were
heard for the first time in
Baltimore; many other first
performances are planned
for the future.
The 80 piece orchestra is
composed of selected mem
bers of the Baltimore Sym
phony Orchestra and is un-
der the direction of DR..
Elliott w. Galkin, chairman
of the music department Of
Goucher College, who also
conceived of the project. The
programs have been &C
claimed by public and press
alike, and constitute a sig
nificant and important part
of Baltimore'S musical life.
The activities of the Balti-
more Chamber Orchestra
Program are supported in
part by a foundation which
prefers to remain anony-
nous, and by the Musicians
Performance Trust Funds in
cooperation with Local 40
AT of M and are admins
tered by Goucher College as
a public service.

The D. c. Apprenticeship
Council will be grateful to
The Star if it can get certain
widely misrepreSented facts
before the public relating to
special services the council
was trying to render to mi
nority groups.
In order to determine what
apprenticeable trades colored
youths were currently inter-
ested in, "a racial notation
was made on a simple appli-
, cation form. This informa-
tion was helpful in develop
ing on-the-job apprentice
ship ograms meeting
minimum standards of the
Bridges-Randolph D. c. Ap-
premiership Act of 1946
(Chapter la, Title SO, D. C.
Code) in which minority
youths indicated particular
interest. This information in
summary form was also in
cluded in the councils re-
ports and discussed Tin sum-
mary form) at meetings at
which the trade preferences
of young people were dis
cussed. AS the council has
stated over and over, such
information on an individual
basis never went out of the
office. In fact, some of the
council members did not
know it was being kept. Be-
sides, the practice was dis
continued Immediately when
objection was raised, and
would have been discon-
tinued before if the council
suspected there were any
objections. 1t was never in
dicated by the United States
