Mrs. Schweinhaut is leader

foes in the county, the Ma

While the statement from the

You might be surprised at
how many pains in the lower
back are found in psyche
analysts offices.
Psychoanalysts, you see, sit
with a rigid posture, partly to
conceal their reactions to what
a patient is saying. They don't
get much exercise, either.
AS a New York back special
list, DR.. Hans Kraus puts it. the
posture may cause weakness
and stiffness in muscles. The
inability to respond to stimuli
and the need to assume iden-
tical posture for long periods
of time may store tension in
certain groups and manifest
itself in considerable pain"
What? A tense analyst?
Exactly.

illusions on a survey he con-

rested about 1880 pm. in the
2100 block of Hillyer place NV.
after he walked a white Ameri-
can University coed to her
home. The girl. 10, lives around
the corner in the 1900 block of
Twenty-first street NV.
Students Account
The student said Third Pre-
cinct Pvt. P. r. Pelfrey, who
had passed the couple earlier,
told him he was walking on
the wrong side Of the street,
pushed him against a car when
the student protested, then led
him to a call box.
Pvt. Pelfrey's account: He
arrested Mr.. Okobi in the 1900
block of Twenty-first street
when the student twice refused
to stop walking in the middle
of the street, forcing cars to
swerve around him.
The policeman said Mr..
Okobi first said it was too dark
to walk on the sidewalk, then
remarked that Washington
police treat Negroes unfairly.
Called to court, the American
University girl said she could
not identify Pvt. Pelfrey as she
was inside during the arrest.
She said the couple passed two
or three policemen during a
two-hour walk.
Reporters were told that Mr..
Okobi forfeited $40 collateral
on his charge Wednesday, but
the forfeiture was set aside
when the hearing was called
yesterday.
Embassy Intervenes
The unusual official interest
in the case apparently arose
when the Nigerian Embassy
contacted the State Department
about it and the State De-
partment contacted high city
officials.
Among officials present at
the hearing were Deputy Police
Chief Albert L. Embrey, Inspec-
tor Otto Fuss, and Third Pre-
cinct Capt. Raymond s. Pyles;
State Department Assistant
Chief Of Protocol Pedro San
juan, Nigerian Embassy Consul
G. Dove-Edwin, and Ernest j:
Wilson, foreign student advisor
at Howard University.
The hearing was interrupted
by a telephone call from Police
Chief Robert v. Murray and
concluded by a telephone report
to District Commissioner Walter
N. Tobriner.

number of Zeckendorf = Spon =
sored units in Southwest Wash
ington.
At a meeting Of the RIA
board today, the agency acted
to have new appraisals made
of the more than a million
square feet involved. The
land is located adjacent to and
northwest of the Zeckendorf
Town Center development at
Fourth and M streets S.W., now
almost complete.
Use Plan Changed
The new appraisal is neces-
sary, the RLA's executive di-
rector, Phil A. Doyle, said, be-
cause an earlier appraisal is
"outdated" and because of
changes in uses proposed by
the New York promoters Webb
and Knapp firm.
Streets for the project. it is
understood, are to be built by
the District rather than by Mr..
Zeckendorf. This may reduce
the amount of land and the
total lease price.
Plans for the development OF
the five additional tracts have
been prepared by Webb and
Knapp. Building permits will
be sought, it was reported
after the firm gains control OF
the land.
Price to Be Set
Before execution of a lease
contract can be completed, a
sale price will have to be deter
mined, approval of the Housing
and Home Finance Agency OBJ
tanned, and a public hearing
held.
The 24-acre area lies south
of the Southwest expressway

LoanCOn1pany
Insurance
Takes Effect
Governor Signs
Thut and Other
MARYLAND Bills

ANNAPOLIS, April 6 (Spe-
ciaD "A bill to set UP a State
program for insuring accounts
in savings and loan associations
was signed into law today by
Gov. Tawes.
The Governor also signed
legislation to crack down on
shady home improvement firms.
Another major bill signed was
one to reorganize the admins
tration of the States prison
system.
The savings and loan bill
provides for the establishment
of a corporation to insure ac-
counts in associations which
join the program voluntarily.
Premiums Provide Fund
The State will not put up any
money, but the insurance fund
will come from premiums to be
paid by member associations.
The program will be admins
tered by a board of directors.
most of whom will be selected
from the savings and loan
industry.
The move for a State-spon-
sored insurance plan came after
several firms got into trouble
as Federal and State officials
moved to clean out unstable
firms and INSCRIPTIONS opera
tors. The purpose of the in
surance program is to restore
public confidence in the saw
ings and loan business, especi-
ally those State-chartered firms
which do not have Federal in
surance.
The home improvement leg
islation is the result of a long
study of complaints by home
owners of being bilked by fly
ny-night repairmen and sales
men.
Registration Required
The new law requires reg
istration of home Improvement
companies and statesmen, sets
up standards of performance
and provides stiff penalties for
fraudulent operations.
The prison reorganization
law provides that correctional
institutions be placed under a
commissioner of correction,
who will have broad admins
trative powers. The present po-
sition Of superintendent Of
prisons will be abolished and
the Board of Correction will
become merely an advisory
body.
Reorganization Of the prison
administration was recon-
lmended by a legislative study
committee which was ap-
pointed after the prison system
was heavily criticized by some
Legislators and a Washington
County grand jury.
The Governor signed 20 bills
today and vetoed 10 others.
Most of the vetoed bills were
duplicated bills he already had
signed or were rejected by the
attorney general.
Other New Laws
Other bills which became law
under the Governors signature
included:
A $50O,O00 State redevelop-
ment loan fund to be used for
aiding depressed areas.
Increased State aid for
libraries.
Creation of a State super
viSed program of apprenticeship
training for youth in skilled
trades.
Amendment Of the constitu-
ton to permit fathers of lille
Ultimate children to be Jailed
for non-support.
Recognition Of jousting as
the official State sport.
And the $22.3 State capital
improvements program enacted
by the Legislature.

legislation at a bill-Signing
