why is Congress so stingy
with Washington" he asked.
why don't they appropriate
the money to make it the
great capital that it ought to
be?"
PERHAPS THEY WILL.
When a Senator, President
Kennedy showed great in
terest in Washington, notably
in the preservation of the
character of Lafayette
Square. There is no reason
to think that he has lost that
interest since he moved into
the White House.
This is an administration
that has shown it is willing
to take ''big steps" in increaS-
ing Government expenditures
and revenues by the billions
lin the effort to be the first
to put a man on the moon for
national prestige.
Labor Secretary Arthur
Goldberg suggested recently
that everything on the north
side of Pennsylvania avenue
from the old Star Building to
Kann's store be pulled down
and Government buildings
erected there.
Certainly the appearance
of a nations capital city is
important to its prestige. In
the short span of Louis N "a
poleon's Second Empire, Paris
was redesigned and rebuilt
into the most beautiful city
the grand design due to
L'Enfant and Macmillan. But
much of it should be rebuilt.
Washington has no Repre-
Sentatives in the House; no
Senators. But if it really
wants something - say a
stadium - it can get it.
So let's all encourage the
Government to start a build
ing program that will elm
mate the unSightly and re-
move the tempoS from the
parks.
At the years end 1 stopped
in on Brig. Gen. Frederick
Clarke, the Engineer Com
missioner, to talk this over.
Found him very responsive.
When the general doffs his
uniform, he abandons mill
tary manners. Very informal.
WE'LL HAVE TO GET ready
for an area population of 4
million in 40 years." he said.
Transportation will be the
big problem.
Senator Harrison VIII
liams of New Jersey was in
strumental in getting an ap-
preparation of SIS million to
study the transportation
problems of the metropoliseS.
The metropolitan New York
profile m, which includes
Northern New Jersey and
Western Connecticut, is very
acute, you know.
"Of course, $5 million is
only a drop in the bucket
even for a study. We will be
spending $50 million on high
ways in 1862; Virginia, $40
million; Maryland, SIT mil
lion.
But it's a first step.
Eventually the Federal Gov
ernment is going to have to
help the metropoliSes, New
York, Washington, Chicago,
San Francisco and Los An
geles, with their transporta-
ton problems. Subways will
have to be constructed.

be done with a system of ex-
press buses. The commuter

said. 1T will be invaluable to
blind students who want to do
research work"
Mr.. Gallozzi noted that blind
persons need not come to the
library. One, two. or even sew
eral volumes will be mailed to
any legally blind person free
of charge, one of the few things
that may be taken out of the
Library. He said even the re-
turn postage is free.
They can keep the books
out for 80 days" he said, but
If they request an extention
and no one else is trying to get
that particular volume, we will
let them have it longer"
Mr.. Gallozzi said the reason
for the great size of each set
is the principle of Braille itself.
Each page is of large. thick,
pulpy paper. Each of the per-
forated characters is more than
an eighth of and inch high.
This expands the normal 10
volumes into 100.
Eventually, Mr.. Gallozzi said,
it is hoped that each Of the 81
regional libraries for the blind
in the country will have a set
of the encyclopedia on deposit
from the Library of Congress.

County Youth, II,
Stabbed in Chest:
Another, IS, Held

A 17-year-old Montgomery
County youth was in unde-
termined condition at the
Washington Sanitarium today
with two stab wounds in his
chest. county police reported.
Detectives at the Silver
Spring station said they had
charged 15-year-old with as
sault to commit murder and
turned him over. to county
juvenile authorities. They de-
clined to name either boy be-
cause of their ages.
Police said the attack came
about 2 am. at the intersection
of Forest Glen and Seminary
roads. Police said the younger
boy apparently stopped the
othe's car, and an argument
began which led to the stab
bing.
The wounded youth walked
more than a block, police said,
and was able to arouse a resi-
dert on Forest Glen ROAD be-
fore collapsing on the doorstep.
The l5-year-old was picked
up by police three hours later
near the scene of the stabbing.

Mr.. Gallozzi said. I'VE chose

it is not as detailed. This one

The project was financed by

$115,500 for the translation and

Mr.. Vogeler was $15,00O-a-

big headlines. This was in 194s
when he was arrested by the
Communists in Hungary and

the telephone company in Eu-

He was sentenced to Is years

Robert A. Vogeler, who is
negotiating for two Maryland
savings and loan firms which
have figured prominently in
the news lately, Is a man
whose life is almost stranger
than fiction.
Telephone executive, prisoner
Of the Communists in Hungary
on a spy charge, writer, lec-
turer, dabbler in politics,

Senator Mccarthy in his Com

have been a part of the So
year-old New Yorker's past Is

"All that is past now" said
Mr.. Vogeler. I'm living a quiet
life and I enjoy it."
Mr.. Vogeler, head of an
electronics firm in Connecticut,
said negotiations are almost
complete for purchase Of First
Continental and First Colony
Savings and Loan Associations
in Maryland.
Two Tracts Sold =
The two savings firms have
been described by the Govern
ment as controlled by j. Ken
meth Edlin who is awaiting
sentence in Baltimore on
charges of mail fraud in con-
nection with promotional &C
tivities of First Colony.
Two other holdings with
which Mr.. Edlin has been as
sociated-the 8,O00-acre Linda
City property in Charles
County, Md. and the 5,000-acre
Leisure City land in Stafford
County. Va.-were sold Friday
to a Connecticut firm headed
by a friend of Mr.. Vogeler.
The land was bought by Feda
Realty Corp. which is headed by
Francis j. Finneran, builder of
several swanky projects in Fair
field County, Conn.

that he presently is working on
a merger of the firm with an
other company to handle ex-
panding business.
One of his two sons, William
20, is a student at Georgetown
University in Washington where
he is studying for the foreign
service.
Mr.. Vogeler declined to
identify others who also are
putting up money for the pur-
chase of the two Maryland
saving and loan firms until the
deal is consummated.
He said Walter Shultise, for
mer real estate salesman who
handled the sale of Linda City
and Leisure City to Mr.. Fin
neran's firm, also is handling
negotiations for the purchase
of the savings and loan firms.
Mr.. Shultise is now associated
with the Finneran interests as
executive director of the COM
pany which will develop the
Linda City holdings.
Development Planned
First Continental and First
Colony hold mortgages totaling
nearly $4.6 million on the
Linda City and Leisure City
tracts. Mr.. Finneran's group
assumed responsibility for pay
ing off these mortgages when
they bought the tracts last
week.
Mr.. Finneran, according to
Bridgeport, Conn. sources, has
been active in Westport Conn j
real estate development for
about Is years. His wife also is
a real estate agent in Westport.
He said he once was an ad-
miniStrative assistant to the
late James M. Curley, former
governor Of Massachusetts,, and
that his father was once Demo-
cratic State chairman in Massa-

court-appointed lawyers. A
large proportion of such de-
PENDANTS are INDECENT or able
to pay only a small fee.
Initially the target of heavy
criticism from attorneys, the
plan started with II participat-
ing lawyers. 1t now includes "A
of the approximately so lawyers
who regularly practice at the
court.
Changes Reviewed
Municipal Courts judges last
year also issued the first COM
plete revision of the Districts
traffic violation collateral list
since 1851.
A SIS ticket for all parking
violations had been predicted,
but the judges decided to re-
tain the SO charge for most
overtime parking offenses, the
largest category of traffic Of
fenSes.
A 32-year-old handyman
named Izziah Harris figured in
another innovation given a trial
run last year by Domestic Della
tlons Court Judge Joseph M. F.
Ryan, jr.
Harris was the first prisoner
in a Work-release experiment.
Sentenced to 80 days for failing
to pay court-ordered support
payments to his estranged wife.
he was jailed only on four
week ends on condition he
make the payments.
AS a pioneer, Harris almost
failed, since he reported faith
fully to jail each week end but
made no payments until threat
ened with further prosecution.
Plan Used in Other Gases
Judge Ryan has since used
the plan successfully in other
non-support cases, sparkling
District officials to investigate
its possible application in other
types of cases.
One of the courts newest
judges, Judge Ryan was named
to a full l0-year term on Sep
tember % after serving as an
Eisenhower recess appointee
since July /, 1860.
His new term came after
Congress abrupt adjournment
accidentally "benched" him for
a few hours. His recess COM
mission expired at adjourn
ment and his new commission
was not signed by President
Kennedy for several hours, dur
ing which the judge declined to
hear cases.
The l6-judge court remained
at full strength with the re-
appointment during the year of
two judges to 10-year terms.
They are Judge Andrew j.
Howard, jr., and Judge Mary
c. Barlow.
In moves which could have
heavy impact on the court,
two District Bar Association
committees began work on two
court reorganization plans.
One would raise its civil
jurisdiction to $4,000 and
perhaps change the name to
Court of General Sessions. The
other would revamp Traffic
Court by making it a separate
branch and giving it two per-
manent judges.
At years end both plans
still were in committe with a
lengthy delay likely before
they reach Congress, which
must approve any court re-
organization.

And you will be able to

It is a canopy of the new
pre-stressed concrete, in ap-
pearance as light as the
canvas of a tent, supported
by huge reinforced concrete
uprightS, which thrust out,
and walled with transparent
glass.
1t will be a fitting gateway
to the new Washington and
perhaps a prophetic one.
Perhaps it will free future
w a S h in g ton construction
from the fetterS of claSsi-
cism, from false fronts of
stone on steel-frame build
ings. Perhaps architects win
ming future commissions will
be able to show what can be

A drunk was released on h
himself 35 cents short of the
$40 collateral.
These were among the last
cases of 1861 in the city's bus
lest court. Statistically, the
roomer and the drunk were
repeated thousands of times
during the year.
Case Load Increased
If court prosecutions are a
guide, petty crime in Washing
ton should show an increase
for 1961-66,657 court cases,
compared to 64,274 in 1860.
While United States District
Court handles felonies - the
more serious crimes such as
murder. rape or robbery-Mu-
nicipal Court mirrors the
everyday lapses and pathos of
life in a large city.
Its criminal jurisdiction is
confined to traffic violations
and misdemeanors - the less
serious crimes such as shop
lifting, imple assault. drunk or
disorderly and licensing viola
tions.
Comparing the old year with
1860, the courts traffic branch
showed a case decrease from
25.026 to 23,255; in the D. c..
branch, aptly nicknamed drunk
court cases rose from 30,706
to 34,524; the United States
branch experienced a rise from
8,542 to 1878.
Civil Suits Show Drop
In the courts civil division,
where Jurisdiction is limited to
suits of $4,000 and under, new
cases filed dropped sharply
from 37,217 in 1860 to 3l,741
in 1861.
Part of the slack was taken
up in Small Claims Court.
which was saved from eventual
extinction when its Jurisdiction
was raised from $50 to $3.50 in
September. The case load rose
from some $4,000 in 1860 to
l7,060 in 1861. About 10000
cases are expected this year.
Other branches had mixed
gains and losses. Landlord and
Tenant Court cases rose from
$3.50 to 89, 1887. Domestic Rela-
tions Court, which handles
divorce and support cases, drop
ped from 27,713 to 22,771 cases
in 1861.
The three-judge Municipal
Court of Appeals had 233 new
cases filed from the lower
branches in 1851, compared to
245 cases in 1860.
Backlog Grows
Its year-end backlog rose
from about 80 to about 100
cases, perhaps reflecting a va
cancy existing on its bench
since November II, 1860, when
former Chief Judge Leo A.
Rover died.
Lacking a new appointment,
his place has been filled tempo
rarily by Retired Chief Judge
Nathan Cayton, by Chief Mu-
nicipal Court Judge John Lewis
Smith, jr.. and, most recently,
by Judge Frank H. Myers.
Judge Smith says 1862 finds
Municipal Court generally in
excellent condition" both
statistically and in overall ad-
ministration.
He cites the increase in
Small Claims Court Jurisdiction
as one major improvement. but
singles out the new INDECENT
Counsel System in the criminal
branch as the years most sig
nificant" innovation.
