any indication of. how much
money she was to get because
Judge Pine interrupted to say
that the jury had made a
mistake and that the verdict
could not be accepted.
Jurors in Error
In its original verdict, the
jury had wanted to place full
responsibility against Sinclair,
absolving the Toomey estate
and Mr.. Muldrow of any LA
bility. Judge Pine said that
his instructions should have
made it clear that this could
not be done legally. If the ver-
dict was against Sinclair. it
must also be against the other
two defendants, he said.
Only Mr.. Muldrow, the oper-
ator last in line of RESPONSE
'bility, could be found negligent
alone and then only under a
special exception in the rules
of trespaSsing, the judge said.
So the jury went back for
further elaboration. And Mrs.
DAILY and her husband had to
wait another day.
AS they waited last night for
some word from the jury, Mr..
DAILY remarked to his wife:
Hereafter, Virginia. when you
break your leg. do it under
circumstances that are less
confusing"
But everybody said it was
a simple case," Virginia said.

Capitol Duns
Hospital for
Old Benches

The Congress of the United
States may not always press
vigorously for repayment of
loans-but it never forgets.
In August of 1860, Congress
had on its hands some oak
benches with elaborate cast
iron supports recently removed
from the House Of Representa-
tives.
1t agreed to lend some of
them to st. Elizabeths Hospital
with the understanding that
they would be returned at the
hospitals expense when they
we're needed again.
On November Is. 1862, after
slightly more than 102 years,
Acting Capitol Architect Mario
E. Campbell wrote to DR.. Dale
c. Cameron, new superin-
tendent of st. Elizabeths. Po-
litely but firmly, he informed
DR.. Cameron it was time to
return the borrowed benches,
So far, the hospital has been
able to find only five of the
eight benches Mr.. Campbell
would like to have returned.
But only one Of them is the
9h-foot length he needs. The
others, though equally vener-
able. are somewhat shorter.
If Mr.. Campbell can round
up the eight benches-to match
eight now at the Capitol-he
will 60 ahead with a study on

can't be found. he will drop

Although no one has been
here since 1860, some people
remembered that the benches
had been loaned" Mr.. Cam
pioli said. $50 we asked the
Art and Reference Library and
they came up with the answer
on where they had gone"

YuIe Tree
Arrives at
The EIIipse

The 1862 National Christmas
Tree arrived in Washington to-
day in weather more suitable to
spring than winter.
The 72-foot blue spruce was
transported here from the San
Isabel National Forest near
Salida. Colo.
The tree, estimated to be 100
years old, was erected at the
Ellipse where it will be deco
rated for the opening cere-
monies December II of the
Christmas Pageant of Peace.
President Kennedy will press
the button to light the tree on
that date.
Edward p. Cliff, chairman Of
the United States Forestry
Service. formally turned the bis
tree over to T. Sutton Jet, di-
rector of the National Capital
Park Region Of the Department
Of Interior.
John Dalton, chairman of the
1862 Pageant of Peace, accepted
the tree from Mr.. Cliff and
Jack A. Wolfe, forest service
ranger in charge of the Salida
ranger district. Ranger Wolfe
accompanied the tree from
Colorado.
The tree was brought 1000
miles by four railroads--the
Denver. Rio Grande and West
ern, Union Pacific, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and the
Baltimore g. Ohio.
1t arrived on a flatbed car
at 1915 am. in the BIOS
Georgetown yard. Then it was
transferred to a Chesapeake &
Potomac Telephone Co. truck
for the trip to the Ellipse.
Santa Claus stood on the
flatbed car as it was pushed
into a side-track where the
small crowd waited.
The youngsters were from the
Suburban school of Alexandria
and the Peter Pan School at
801 Fern place NV.
One of the youngsters. Patty
Carpenter, 7, daughter Of Mr.
and Mrs. John Carpenter OF
1900 South Ives street, Airing
ton, presented a dinner plat
ter to the officials.
Patty, who attended the tree
arrival ceremony last year. had
drawn a picture Of her impress

Zoning Shift Urged
For Methodist Unit
$40 Million
Center Plan
Draws Fire
BY CHARLES ID. PIERCE
Star staff Writer

An application for a change
in coming regulations to permit
development of a $20,000,000
Methodist center at Massachu-
sets and Nebraska avenues
NV, ran into opposition to-
day.
Renah F. Camalier, former
District Commissioner, pre-
sented to the District Zoning
Commission the request for a
change in the regulations to
permit construction of national
headquarters Of churches and
religious affiliates in residen-
tial areas.
Mr.. Camalier said that II
the coming change is made 1t
will permit construction of sew
eral Methodist religious and
educational institutions.
The 18.5-acre tract involved
is a generally wedge-shaped J
piece of land with the point
lat Ward Circle, and bounded
on the sides by Massachusetts
and Nebraska avenues.
Change Is Opposed
The proposed change was OPP ,
posed by Mrs. John F. Snyder,
a spokesman for the Federation
of Citizens Associations of the
District of Columbia, and Franz
Oppenheimer, representing the
Washington Planning and
Housing Association.
The Commission took the
case under advisement. Also
taken under adviSement was a
strongly opposed application to
permit construction of high
rise apartments on the east
side of Wisconsin avenue be-
tween Macomb and Ordway
streets.
Mrs. Snyder, cochairman of
the City Planning and Zoning
Committee of the Citizens Fed
Grafton, said that the coming
change asked by the Methodist
corporation would permit ran
dom carvings from our dimin-
ishing supply of residentially
zoned land for appropriation for
business use"
Mr.. Oppenheimer said that
I'VE see no reason, why, If any
offices are permitted in R5-5
residential districts, they should
be limited to the offices of the
ma tional headquarters OF
churches and religious affili-
ates operating under the aus
piceS and control of such
churches"
Apartments Planned
Thomas H. Burrowes, 54S5
Forty-firSt place NV, asked
the coming commission to re-
zone the property on Wisconsin
avenue to permit the construc-
ton OF an eight-story luxury
apartment building.
He said that this type of
building would be more de-
sirable for the neighborhood
than the type of apartments he
could build under the present
coming.
However. Guy Farmer, chair
man of the Cleveland Park
Committee for Community
Planning. said that more than
900 residents in the area are
strongly opposed to the coming
change requested by Mr.. Bur-
roweS.
Mr.. Farmer said I'VE are op-
posed because we regard the
construction of high-rise apart
ments as a threat 10 the con-
tinued stability OF Cleveland
Park.
He added that high rise
apartments would add to pres
ent traffic congestion and
create IAN intolerable parking
situation"

station where she fell and broke
her ankle after a baseball game.
It appeared late last night
that Mrs. DAILY wouldn't get
anything, not from this jury
anyway. The panel had de-
liberated since Monday with
time out for sleep and food
and had been unable to decide
on a verdict. When it finally
did reach a decision Judge
David A. Pine said that particu-
lar finding was illegal and re-
fused to accept it.
Days Keep Smiling
Through all, she and her
husband, TV personality John
c'What's My Line") DAILY, kept
smiling. They had come here
from their New York home a
week ago last Monday for the
case, which had been on file
in court here since July, 1859.
The accident occurred in
July, 1858. as Mrs. DAILY, then
unmarried, and her escort,
former New York Times Re-
porter Bill Lawrence, were leav-
ing Griffith Stadium. Heading
for their car. they cut in back
of a gas station at v street and
Georgia avenue NV, and in
the dark Mrs. DAILY tumbled
into a stairwell on the prop
erty.
She was admitted to George
washington University Hos
pital with leg injuries which
included multiple fractures of
the ankle. She wore a cast
covering most of her leg for six
weeks and a smaller one for
six weeks more.
She sued the operators of the
station, William T. Muldrow
and Sinclair Refining Co., ano
the owners of the property, the
trustees for the estate of Ellen
Toomey. She claimed they were
negligent in leaving the stair
well exposed and unlighted.
Trespassing Claimed
The defendants claimed the
stairwell was on their property,
and that Mrs. DAILY was tres
passing when she fell, and con-
tended that when a person con-
tinues to walk where it is too
dark to see, he does so at his
own risk.
These were the ingredients
of what was supposed to be an
interesting, but not overly COM
plicated, suit for damages.
At the trial last week, teSti-
mony and exhibits were offered
for the jury's consideration,
with Mrs. Days attorney. John
L. Laskey, contending it was
impossible to tell where the
public property ended and the
gas station property began.
Mr.. Muldrow's attorney. H.
Mason Welsh, countered with
the argument that Mrs. DAILY
should not be walking on his
clients property, and that she
assumed the risk of continu-
ing to walk in the dark.
Harry Ryan, representing the
Toomey estate, and John
Arness, representing Sinclair.
backed up these contentious.
Judge Pine spent about an
hour Monday explaining the
complicated legal boundaries
the jury had to stay within.
Late yesterday afternoon, the
jury announced that 1t was
ready to render a verdict. Mrs.
DAILY and her attorney took
their places at the long table
in front of the jury box, Mr..
DAILY sat in the spectators row
and the foreman announced the
decision.

and against only one Defend
