 CT. possibly BPS or B-26, has been rigged here to carry one or more of the Firebirds in the up-
 coming test. The target area prob ably will be one of the bombing ranges of this Mojave Desert test center, a source said.
 The Firebird, 13 feet long and II feet across is Delta wing, is controlled in flight by radio either in the mother plane or on the

 The manufacturer, A ccura
 Electronies of North Hollywood, Calif, calls it a guided missile but not a rocket, because it has no engine. It enables aerial fire fighters to unleash their load of chemicals in safety up to five miles away, instead of having to fly through smoke and flames to reach hot spots.
 Planes of the type used to bomb 1 fires with water and chemicals can be rigged to carry as many as five Firebirds apiece. Each Fire 1 bird has capacity of 2,000 pounds.

For the first time in SIS
years, Boss & Phelps, Inc,
one of Washington's oldest
real estate firms, is not be-

original founders.
At the helm, however, is
Everett G. Phelps, son of H.
Glenn Boss, who with
Harry K. Boss, founded the
establishment in 1907 with
offices at $40 Fourteenth
street NV. At that time,
Washington was a sleepy
town of 316,269 persons and
was just emerging from the
horse-and-buggy days.
The elder Mr.. Phelps re-

so that his son could take
over. He had assumed the
presidency of the well-known
real estate office in 1858 upon
the death of Mr.. Boss.
Mr.. Boss was president

office.

Insulation
Pays Its Way

Good insulation in a home
pays for itself by cutting fuel
bills.
A well-insulated home is
warmer in winter, cooler in
summer, and requires less
energy than a poorly insu-
lated home for both heating
and air conditioning.
Savings on fuel bill can
pay for the insulation within
a few years. After that, the
savings mean extra money in
your pocket.

Among the planners, the
question of esthetics has be-
come a very vital considera-
ton in the development of the
city's freeway system.
Would Preserve Beauty
Universal agreement exists
that the appearance of the Ma
tion's Capital is of paramount
importance-that in the Dis
trict nothing should be done
that would mar the historic
beauty of the city.
Opponents of the freeways
argue that the elevated free
ways soaring the city's sky
line and multilane expresSways
set in deep. open trenches
chopping up the city will create
an unprecedented ugliness in
the heart of the District.
They fear that large inter-
changes will bring blight to
neighborhoods, that monu-
mental and historic areas OF
the city will be blocked from

will, if not beautify. at least
reduce the impact of highways
on existing land uses.
The second argument is that
by removing excessive traffic
from existing streets. freeways
actually will help to preserve
and protect many areas.
Recently the District High
way Department established its
own advisory board of archi-
tects to study new highway
projects so that the best
esthetic treatment can be as
Sured.
One example of how esthetics
is being considered as part of
highway planning is that of
the E street expressway, a de-
pressed highway that will run
through the State Department
area.

noted for her work in South
west renewal design, created a

They fear neighbcrhood pat
terms will be pulled apart as
depressed freeways cut through
them. They foresee a ghetto
ization" of the city as, a result
of barriers that they consider
the roads will be.
Support of the view that the
freeway system will bring ugli-
ness is given by the Fine Arts
Commission. Repeatedly, David
Finley, chairman of the fine
arts group, has served warning
that highways will ruin the
beauty of the Nations Capital
especially the monumental
areas that his commission is
dedicated to protect.

BALTIMORE, April TO-
George Mahoney got the "OS-
car" last night but Big Jack
Pollack stole the show.
The show was a town meet
ing" arranged by Mr.. Pollack
to determine whom to support
in Maryland's red-hot Demo-
cratic gubernatorial primary
The 62-year-old Democratic
boss of Northwest Baltimore
hired % buses to carry his
faithful downtown where he
had reserved a ballroom of the
Emerson Hotel for what Mr.
Pollack called a Renaissance
in politics.
Mr.. Pollack exclaimed as his
people balloted:
This is democracy in action
This will go down in history
Word Circulates
Word had circulated for the
past few days that Mr.. Ma
honey was the man for Mr.
Pollack. When the ballots
were counted, Mr.. Mahoney
had 2,083 votes; Gov. Tawes
1872; David Hume, S, and Ken
nedy (no first name speci-
fied) l.
Several observers figured
there weren't more than 1,50C
people present. But State Dele
gate Carl Bacharach, a Pollack
devotee, declared to all as
sembled that the vote was not
determined by a ruse or any
trick"
"The people have spoken this
evening"" said Mr.. Pollack, g

more's East Side with former
Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro.

i in the candidates" said Mr..
Pollack. He dispatched an eS-
cort to the Mahoney head
quarters in the Southern Hotel
a block away.
After about Is minutes -
filled with gleeful comments
from Mr.. Pollack and some of
his followers - the chief an
nounced that Mr.. Mahoney was
l60 miles away campaigning in
the mountains of Garrett
County. They found Mrs. Ma
honey, though, and she said she
would give Mr.. Mahoney the
good word.
When he got word of the
Baltimore development, Mr..
Mahoney said:
Gosh.
"It's the most surprising
thing that has ever happened
to me in my political career. ="
Chances Are Boosted
The Pollack Endorsement
boosts Mr.. Mahoney's chances
of cornering most of the city's
AZ unit votes.
Mr.. Pollack told reporters he
had a commercial poll taken
which shows Mr.. Mahoney
ahead of Gov. Tawes in Balti-
more more than two to one.
Some in the Tawes camp
thought Mr.. Pollack was being
a bit inconsiderate, especially
since it repeatedly was the
Tawes forces which only a few
weeks ago engineered the with
drawal of State Senate candi-
dates in the 5th district to
give Mr.. Pollack's son-in-law
Paul Dorf, a clear field in that
race.
Some Tawes people also
thought it was sort of rubbing

him against a car when he pro-
tested, and called a patrol car.
Ordered to Sidewalk
Pvt. Pelfrey's version was
that he saw Mr.. Okobi walking
in the middle of Twenty-first
street. forcing cars to swerve
around him. and twice ordered
the student to the sidewalk.
The student first said it was
too dark to walk on the side
walk. then remarked that
Washington police pushed Ne
groes around, according to the
policeman.
Called to court. the girl said
she could not identify Pvt.
Pelfrey because she was in
doors during the arrest. She
said the couple passed two or
three policemen during a two
hour walk.
The day after his arrest, Mr..
Okobi forfeited $40 collateral,
then had the forfeiture set
aside and contacted the Niger
ian Embassy, which notified
the State Department, which
contacted the District Building.
Met With Tobriner
On Friday. Mr.. King and
others connected with the case
were called to confer with
Commissioner Tobriner.
Asked about the State De-
partment'S role. the assistant
chief of protocol, Pedro San

Mahoney.
Gets Last Word
But the camp of Gov. Tawes
who had Mr.. Pollack's support
in 1858, got in the last word.
The Tawes campaign man.
ager. Herbert r. O'Conor, jr.
declared the "Mahoney-Pollack
combine" is "callous attempt
to sacrifice responsible govern
ment in Maryland on the altar
of political patronage"
How ironic it is" said Mr.
O'Conor. that the man who
has built his entire campaign
on distorting the Governor s
role in bringing savings and
loan regulations to Maryland
should enter into a marriage OF
convenience with the political
boss who did the most to block
the passage of effective legis-
lation." This was a reference
to Mr.. Pollack's opposition to
the savings and loan bill passed
last year.
Another Tawes spokesman
said the Pollack meeting was
"rigged."
David Hume, another candi-
date for the nomination, COM
mented today:
George Mahoney's award of
the Trenton Club vote last
night, instead of an Oscar
based on his TV acting as the
outraged foe of savings and
loan villains, may be the result
of some reverse justice.

ber as they see George on his

ings and loan regulation than

WHEN THE RAINS CAME

WHEN THE RAINS CAME
Mr.. Quesada said he was
very disturbed. I got hold of
the Weather Bureau and they
said it was of small dura-
ton and I transmitted that
to him and he said he would
wait"
He also scored with Um-
pires Hank Soar, Ed Hurley
and Joe Paparella, a beefy
triumvirate of that exclusive
mems club.
"He sure knows a lot about
baseball. And football, too.
We talked to him for about a
half-hour while it rained.
He's more than a dyed-in-
the-wool fan, even. He knows
the right questions to ask and
he keeps up with the play
ers," said Mr.. Soar with re-
spect.
Mr.. Hurley said he was
every gracious and wonder
full. I'm glad I voted for
him"
"He sat right along side of
us and asked questions and
spoke about baseball. It's
amazing, a man with all that
responsibility. He fits right
in. A great fella," said Mr..
Paparella.
The word was out at first
that he ducked when the foul
ball bounced off the dugout,
only about a yard in front of
him. But a photographer
staunchly insisted he grabbed
for it, along with White
House aide and baseball
buddy of other days, Dave
Powers.
The word was also out that
he was going to leave for a
White House conference at
4::3O pm. A motorcycle was
dispatched to clear the traf-
fic for the limousineS. They
didn't come. Down under the

men and motorcade members
waited and watched the game

District Asks
LoanAuthority
Bourd Cites Need
For Public Works

The District Commissioner.
urged Congress today to per.
nit the District to borrow ar
additional $75 million to help
finance $142 million in "ur-
gently needed" public works
projects.
The Commissioners said in a
letter formally approved at a
board meeting that despite
the recent legislation increas-
ing District revenues. the fl
nancial situation in the Dis
trict is still critical"
The request for additional
borrowing authority is being
made because the Districts s
1863 budget includes the final
S18.7 million of a $75 million
Federal loan authorized a few
years ago for general fund pub
lie works projects.
School Construction Cited
Schuyler Lowe, director OF
the Department of General Ad-
miniStration, said that if the
additional borrowing authority
is granted, it probably will be
appropriated within five or six
years.
The Commissioners letter ex-
planned that the $142 mill;Al
needed for public works prof.
ects cannot be financed either
by the anticipated increase in
the Federal payment or by ad-
ditional money provided in the
new revenue bill.
| A major portion of the $142
million would be used for
school construction.
The additional borrowing
authority requested would not
exceed the Districts debt limit,
according to the Commission
ers' letter.
Garage Measure Ready
The Commissioners ais o
agreed to send to Congress
today a bill which would
authorize construction of a
parking garage under the
Tenth street mall in the South
west urban renewal area.
Under the legislation. the
District would receive bids for
construction and operation Of
the parking facility. The sue
cessful bidder would be given a
50-year lease and the parking
rates charged would be regu-
lated by the Commissioners.
This legislation is being pro-
posed because Congress recently
transferred surplus funds held
by the District Motor Vehicle
Parking Agency to the High
way Department. This made
it impossible for the agency to
build any parking facilities it
self.
