Five Montgomery County
firemen we're injured but 375
movie patrons were safely
evacuated from the Baronet
Theater last night when a two
alarm fire swept the upper
floors of three Bethesda build
ingS.
Damage was estimated by
County Fire Marshal Charles
H. Howe, jr., at 100000. The
fire started, he said, about 7:30
pm. in the ducts over a broiler
in the Coachman Restaurant,
7418 Wisconsin avenue NV.
The restaurant is flanked by
the Baronet Theater, formerly
the Hiser. and the Ray Koontz

new independence for the city
One witness, Peter Glickert
representing the Federation oi
Citizens Associations, said:
Restaurants on the side
walks of Washington are phil
oSophically justified and per-
haps even required. The all
too-magnificent distances Of
Washington need people sitting
outdoors to look at the dis
tances and to humanize the
landscape"
Washington Musician Sam
Jack kaufman had this to say:
I've seen the downtown
gradually become a morgue. -,
1t needs a stimulant. Perhaps
the cafes would do it. It's
a great idea"
And Perhaps Music
Mr.. Kaufman, president of
the District Federation of Mu-
sicians, said business is bad and
a few musicians might be en-
ployed at each cafe.
The proposed regulations are
silent on the question of mu-
sicianS. James F. O'Donnell. of
the Restaurant Beverage Asso-
citation of Washington, sug-
gested that it would add
flavor" to the cafes if two or
three musicians, limited to
stringed instruments or accor-
dians, were permitted.
On this point, the police de-
partment, represented by Depu-
ty Chief Howard v. Covell,
said:
I'VE believe that music
soothes the soul and we have
some souls we would like to
have soothed."
Max BasSin of Basins Res
taurant, on E street near
Fourteenth street NV, which
wants to establish a sidewalk
cafe, said it would be a "dra-
matte" way of bringing the
downtown area new life"
John S. Cockrell of the Res
taurant Association of Metro
politan Washington. said the
outdoor cafes would benefit the
general welfare of the city"
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Robert F. Kneipp said the
cafes would make the streets
of Washington more ex-
citing. :"
Bible Group Opposes Them
The strongest opposition to-
day came from H. B. Niece,
executive vice president of the
Organized Bible Glass Associa- =
ton.
Mr.. Niece saw the sidewalk
cafe proposal as a Castro
takeover" of citizens sidewalk
space, mainly as a result of
greed for money" Mr.. Niece
said the sidewalk cafes would
tend to encourage the opera
tions of ladies of easy virtue"
and panhandlers.
Mrs. Harold B. Hinton, rep
resenting some Georgetown
residents, urged the Commits
sioners to adopt more stringent
controls over sidewalk cafe es-
Establishments than had been
proposed.

100000 Blaze Injuries 5 Firemen,
Drives BIS From Bethesda Movie

Brubach of Glen Echo, was
treated for a nail in his foot.
Thomas Trull, 26, of 1888
Lincoln road NE, cook at
the restaurant, said he was
broiling steaks when a spark
apparently ignited the grease
! in an overhead ventilator.
Il grabbed a fire extin-
guisher and put out the fire
down there" Mr., Trull said,
I'VE emptied two fire extin-
guishers but then the place
started to fill with smoke so
we called the fire department. I"
Patrons of the Baronet had
just settled in their seats to
watch a showing of "Mein
Kampf." James Sheetz, the
manager. and Marvin Gold
man, the owner, said the Gus
toners left the building in two
minutes through eight exits.
Meanwhile, the flames spread
to the second floor of the brick
and frame Old English-style
structure over the restaurant
and then mushroomed up
through offices there.
Capt. John K. Russ of the
Bethesda Fire Department, said
the biggest problem was getting
to the flames under the gabled
roof.
Two Bethesda fire compa-
nieS and a company from
Chevy Chase responded on the
first alarm and one each from
Bethesda, Glen Echo and Ken
sington went to the scene after
the second alarm.
A crowd estimated at more
than 5000 persons watched for
the next three hours as fire
men battled the stubborn
blaze. 1t was the second serious
fire in Montgomery County
this week. On Monday, county
fire departments fought a
$200,000 blaze in the shopping
plaza at Wisconsin and West
ern avenues.
The structure damaged last
night was built in 1918 and
was one of the oldest in Be-
thesda. The offices on the
second floor are those of ply
sicians, doctors. lawyers and
insurance agents.
The Baronet Theater will not
be open tonight and no date
for a resumption of operations
has been set, according to Mar
vim Goldman, owner of the K-B
Theater chain, which operates
the Baronet.
When we open depends on
when we get an okay from the
county fire marshal. They are
checking the building today
and we hope to have word
within the next two days." Mr..
Goldman said.

THERE ARE NOT enough
seats in the launch and the
more practiced commuters
grabbed. the poles of the
metal roof, subway fashion,
folded their papers length
wise. One stood on the steps
so that his head stuck over
the canopy, and read his
newspaper in the sun.
Others sat and talked
about nuclear physics and
metallurgy and research and
where they we're going to
take their kids this week
end.
The launch, run by the
public works department of
the lab, is definitely and un-
fortunately not open to
the public. Commuters buy
monthly tickets at $2.65 per
month, five days a week.
Last winter, ice stopped
the boat for three weeks.
"We were really spoiled. I
almost felt like walking
across the ice rather than
driving" said one commuter.
Sometimes other things
stop the boat.
"Once as we pulled out we
broke a drive shaft. They
sent a small boat to pick us
up and its drive shaft broke.
We had to paddle back"
1t occurred to ask what is
done about transportation
when such things happen.
Capt. A. E. Krapf, director
of the laboratory, stepped
briskly onto the pier as the
boat docked and said:
Sorry you asked. Well,
Boiling has a few boats to
take people to the Pentagon
and well, ah, we call upon
the Air Force"

ANOTHER MAN came up
the pier, dropped his brief
case, took two gulpS of nom
exh aust fume air and
Strolled to the end of the pier
and back.
He was followed by an
other man who laid his UNI
brella on the yellow railing,
leaned against it and opened
a book.
"I go to college and I'm
only a summer employe. The
boat is loads of fun"
The boat docks at the
Federal Records Center, foot
of Cameron street. There is
no waiting room, but in cold
weather the commuters wait
inside in two offices facing
the river.
BY this time there was a
crowd, reading papers, talk
ing, walking, leaning on
railings, all agreeing that
the incest thing about work.
ing at the lab was getting
there.
Takes me only Is min
ues to get here, another 10
for the boat ride. The few
times I missed the boat it
took me IS minutes to drive"
Besides, what you don't
save in time you save in
Illustration.
And If you get up feeling
grumpy all you have to do is
think of those people battling
the highway and your mood
improves right away.
THE launch used to be
Navy style. 1t didn't have a
radio and we got stuck in the
mud one foggy morning.
This one is the same hull,
they put a sheet metal roof
on It,"
The commuters said it is
normal to have a last-min-
ute rider, toast and tie in
hand, running up the dock.
Unlike trains, planes, buses
or subways, the launch
sometimes circles to pick
him up.
Yesterday there was no
such delay; everyone was
waiting.

Womon,42,
Beaten by
Intruder

A 42-year-old woman was
beaten and robbed in her bed
room early today by an intruder
who entered her firSt-flooI
apartment in the Stanton Park
area through an open kitchen
window.
Police said the woman, an
employment agency clerk who
lives alone, was struck re-
peatedly on the head with a
blunt instrument. She was
treated at Casualty Hospital
for a 3-inch scalp laceratior
and a cut on her left hand.
The victim later was trans
ferred to D. C. General Hos
pital.
Her assailant, police said
escaped through the apart
ment'S front door when the
victim screamed. During the
struggle, he had told her:
Don't say a word or I'll kill
you"
Detective 1t. Eugene Sisson
of the general assignment squad
said the assailant stole $45 in
bills after ransacking two
chests of drawers before wax
ing the woman.
The woman's second trip to
hospital this morning was to
determine If she was Sexually
molested. She told police she
awoke as the man struck her
on the head. The woman. who
is white. was dazed, police said,
and could not remember if she
had been molested.
Police dogs followed the bur-
glars trail for only a few feet
outside the apartment. The
trail ended at the curb. The
thief may have escaped in an
auto, detectives said.
A lookout was broadcast for

Fairfax City Move Stirs
County School Threat

contended Mrs. Wilkins haC

binge" and was irresponsible.
School Problem Cited
Mrs. wilkins, in a statement
said the residents of the towr
of Fairfax are really living ir
a dream world if they propose
to go to city status without
making provision for the edu-
cation of their children next
September"
Existing county schools, in
cluding those within the town
could be filled almost immedi-
ately with county school chill
dren, relieving crowded condi-
tions elsewhere in the county
Mrs. Wilkins said.
Mrs. Wilkins based her at
tack on what she described as
a lack of cooperation by
Mayor Wood. "As far as he is
concerned. it is a one-way
street-his way" Mrs. Wilkins
asserted.
The board chairman said
that if town residents prefer
to live separately they will
have to set up their own school
system. Obviously, she added,
it cannot be constructed and
stated by September.
She said the same thing ap-
plies to other services, which
have been available to the town.
The town already has filed a
petition to become a city of the
second class and plans, next
Friday, to file its final order
in the legal action.
Automatic" Approval Seen
Approval is expected to be
virtually automatic. The town
has about $4,000 residents.
Only 5000 are necessary to be-
come a second class city.
Mayor Wood. replying to
Mrs. wilkins statement, said:
Il would hate to think that she
or the board would try to deny
youths of the schools and other
services which we wish to pay
for. Government is only set up
to serve the people.
I'VE want to cooperate in
every way. but the legal situa-
ton is such that we can't do
anything else except become a
city," the Mayor said.

duced to about So to $40 mil
lion.
Eventually, the District will
be able to regain the interstate
money when it submits re-
vised estimates for it's inter-
state program in 1866.
Delays Forecast
At any rate, the tunnel fl
nancial arrangement means
that some interstate and pri-
mary road projects will have
to be temporarily deferred by
the District.
Harold L. Aitken, District
highway director, said he is
not now certain which projects
will be delayed but has ordered
a staff study to determine the
new road schedule.
Engineer Commissioner
Frederick J.Clarke said he was
delighted" by the tunnel
agreement. The Districts ma
jor concern, he said, is getting
the tunnel road built.
The SIG million cost will
cover the tunnel, which is to
be constructed between the Lin
coin shrine and the rivers edge
and an improved independence
avenue from the Theodore
Roosevelt Bridge to the new
Fourteenth Street Bridge.
Only passenger automobiles
will be permitted to use the
tunnel route, Mr.. Martin
pointed out. Design features
will conform to standards OF
the Park Service. he said, in
keeping with the setting of the
memorial and national shrines
in the Mall area.
The solution to the financ-
ing of the tunnel route in
cludes a revision in the in
terstate system for the Dis
trict Incorporating the route
as part of the Inner Loop
District highway officials, who
had been anxious to work out
the financial arrangements
have argued that the tunnel
connection is a vital link in
the proposed Inner Loop. Park
officials argued that the traf-
fic congestion expected to in
crease once the Roosevelt
Bridge opens would mar the
memorial setting if the tun-
mel we're not constructed.
Construction of the tunnel
project will be under the su-
pervision of the District high
way department in co-opera-
ton with the park service. The
project will be administered by
the Federal Bureau of Public
Roads.

delay. 1t Will be about three
years before the tunnel and
road approaches are completed
they said.
Clarence D. Martin, jr., Un-
d dersecretary of Commerce fol-
Transportation, released the fl
nancial details which he out
lined in a letter to James K
Carr. Undersecretary of the
Interior.
Details Cleared
Federal officials informed
District highway planners anc
officials of the National Parl
Service last week that they
could count on financing of the
tunnel job entirely through
Federal funds. This was re-
vealed in The Star last Sunday
But the question of whether
all of the funds were to come
out of the Districts share oi
interstate highway money OF
from its allotments for primary
roads had been left unanswered
until UnderSecretary Martins
decision was announced.
The District will not be re-
quired to match any of the SIG
million to be spent on the tun-
mel and its approach roads.
Under the financial arrange
ment, Federal highway officials
estimate that the District will
lose about So to $40 million of
its interstate allotment and
will have to program about Sc
to So million of Federal funds
given the city for primary
roads to cover the cost of the
tunnel project.
Park Fund Eyed
However, Federal officials
point out. the District will not
have to come up with about
81 million in matching funds
which 1t normally would have
to meet if the SIG million were
to be spent on other roads in
stead of the tunnel job.
1t is expected that an addi-
tional 50 million will come out
of National Park Service funds
for construction of parkways
and parking areas on both sides
of the Rejecting Pool.
At the outset 80 per cent,
or about $14.4 million, of the
tunnel cost will be covered by
Federal interstate funds now
available. The remainder is
already on hand for primary
road use.
The District will apply pri-
mary road funds to the $l4.4
million amount as these So
called ABC funds become avail
able annually. In this way. the
interstate money will be re-

special.
It's really quite ridiculous,
as if they were on their way
to Tahiti instead of the Ma
val Research Laboratory.
But then the smiles are
more understandable when
it is learned that for 20
years they've beaten the
bumper brigade from Alex
andria to Anacostia by ig-
noring the bridges and TAX
ing a 50-foot motor launch
to work.
The launch holds 90 per-
sons and putt-putts back
and forth three times each
morning, 7:05, 7:35 and 8,
and carries them back at
4:25, 4:45 and sos in the
afternoon.
In October this pleasantly
will end. Yesterday one of
the commuters looked up the
river to an orange ribbon of
the amost-completed Wood
row Wilson Bridge.
They're getting rid of the
launch as soon as that bridge
is ready" he said. Horrible
fate"

Science Report

The Copley News Service

SAN FRANCISCO--Carbon
Monoxide, the odorless and color
less gas produced by automobiles,
can impair drivers judgment, af-
feet his vision and thereby endan-
ger his life, according to two scien-
lists.
They were among speakers at
the air pollution medical research
conference held by the st tate De-
partment of Public Health.
The carbon monoxide problem
was discussed in paper by DR..
Bruce Fisher, professor of psy-
chology at Fresno State College,
and DR.. Ross A. Mcfarland, pro-
fessor of environmenral health and
safety at Harvard.
They found that inhaling carbon
monOxide has the same effect on the
behavior of a human being as does
lifting him into the rarefied upper
air. In both cases his body and brain
are deprived Of oxygen.
In the case of carbon monOxide
this effect occurs because that gas
has an affinity for the hemoglobin
in blood and thereby prevents red
blood cells from doing their work of
supplying oxygen TO tissues.
The CHEMISTS S said that the
amount of carbon dioxide inhaled by
many persons in their daily work
causes an impairm ent of their
faculties equal to a rise of 5000
feet in altitude.
This impairment inc cludes ''tune
1 vision" in which it is hard to rec
ognize objects near the edge of the
field of vision. 1t impairs the abi1-
ity of self-criticism and the ability
to consider a number of critica
factors in any situation at one time
--Such as one encounters in driving
car.
Since persons who smoke ordin-
arily acquire certain amount of
carbon dioxide, the scientists said
that it follows that they are more
susceptible to inhaling the gas from
other sources--such as city traffic.
