Agency heads didn't make
it either. In fact, Bobby
Kennedy and Stewart Udall
didn't make the 100 listing,
but only because they live in
Mclean, Va, outside the map

They are, of course, on

Mr.. Moore got an assist on
addresses from the Congress

the green suede social book.
For some of the unlisted, Mr..
Moore said, 81 practically had
to follow some of them home

Because of the nature OF

Ninth Precinct

Movie and still cameras were
suggested as a shoot first"
approach to the Districts crime
problems at the ninth precinct
meeting last night at Eastern
High School.
The proposal was offered by
Bryant @. Harris, a civic asso-
citation representative, as my
own RUDE Goldberg idea"
An estimated $50 persons at
tending the council hearing
greeted the idea with applause
A police official said some parts
of it had merit, but that it
posed budget problems.
The ninth precinct is
bounded by East Capitol street,
the Anacostia River, the Penn
sylvania Railroad tracks, New
York avenue and Second street
NE. An estimated $4,000 per.
sons live in the precinct.
Mr.. Harris suggested thai
cameras be installed in STRAIGHT
places in retail stores, such as
in the vicinity of cash registers
to discourage holdups and
burglaries. Taxi drivers
equipped with cameras could
photograph suspicious persons
and criminal activities. he said
Other speakers said District
crime has increased because
there has been a cteady decline
of parental authority, that
moral standards have declined
in the home and community,
and that too many citizens
have become unconcerned with
the safety and welfare Of their
neighbors. One speaker told
the council that pressure"
should De put on landlords to
clean up their rental proper
ties.
Capt. John w. Trotter Of the
ninth precinct said aggravated
assault, HOUSEKEEPING and pet
ty larcenies account for the
major crime problems in his
precinct.
After the meeting, Berkeley
Burrell, a Crime Council vice
chairman, said: II feel we are
really rolling now. The re-
Spouse tonight was good and
we are getting more participa-
ton from the audience"

The maps author, a con-

you're political, you're social"
What this may do to the
grand old families who have

Inferior Buildings
Held Hurting City
Architects
Sound Alert
On Problems
BY HARRIET >GREFITHS
Star staff Writer

A consistently low standard
Of quality" in private as well
as public buildings Is endanger-
ing the character Of the WASH
ington area, a prominent ar
chitectS' group declared today.
The American Institute Of
Architects National Capital
Committee sounded the alert
in a statement following q two
day study of problems involved
in Washington's development.
1t cited an immediate" need
for closer coordination Of
planning and design activities.
and a broader consideration Of
the regions problems.
Freeway Recommendation
Speaking out on several spe-
cific areas of planning, the
committee also said that, In
general, "freeways should fol-
low Washington's established
rights Of way and not tear new
holes in the fabric Of the city"
The statement hailed Presi-
dent Kennedy's directive earlier
this month on Federal archi-
lecture as a forward step Of
great potential significance"
and one coming at an appro-
pirate moment.
In establishing guidelines for
design Of Government buildings
embodying "the finest contem-
porary American architectural
thought" the architects said,
1T points to a standard Of
excellence that should be ap-
piled to the environment Of the
entire Washington region"
The committee said it hoped
that not only Federal agencies
would follow this directive, but
that the District Government,
surrounding municipalities and
all concerned with private con-
struction would adopt its spirit
and goals"
In the case Of freewayS, the
group noted that they pose
problems felt by all American
centers, but more acutely felt
here because of the classic
order Of the city's original plan.
I'VE consider viaducts and
elevated roadways to be inher-
emily negative in their effect on
the community" the statement
said. Superficial embellish-
ment Of bridges and other high
way structures Is ineffective"
Potomac Care Urged
Preserving the beauty of the
Potomac River shoreline must
be counted a single continuing
concern Of the region as a
whole, the committee urged,
adding:
Threats of dissertation
through construction of high
rise apartment buildings, such
as those recently proposed in
Fairfax, Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties, can
not permanently be met one by
one. If one community yields to
preSsures for indiscriminate de-
velopment Of the shoreline, the
pressures on the next are vastly
increased"
The committee called for APP
plication of sound professional
principles of planning and de-
sign. The value of such princi-
Piles is evident in what the
committee cited as the "effec-
tive program" over the last five
years Of the National Capital
Planning Commission, which
has vigorously attacked the
problems Of the Washington
region"

BUT IN THEIR quest for
a glimpse Of the famous or

least a front porch of the
famous, tourists will find
themselves often humping
into the impersonal facade
of a hotel. For example, %
Of the guides 100 first fam
lilies live in the Congressional
Hotel.
The guide is a district map
with 100 residences desig-
mated by a superimposed red
number. A corresponding
alphabetical listing adjoinS
it. On the back is a COM
plete list of the important"
which includes those 100 plus
the names and addresses of
many others who didn't rate
the red-number bracket.
Looking down the list Of
Congressman, a question oc-
Cured: Would people find
viewing their homes all that
thrilling?
ITO touring constituents it
may be very important"
said MIR. Moore, who has been
working on the map for two
years.
II thought Of it when I was
driving some out-of-town
friends through Georgetown
and didn't know who lived
in any of the homes"
On the top-1O0 list are
House and Senate committee
chairmen, cabinet members,
some Supreme Court men,
bers, land a few social peo-
pie such as Perle MeSta."
Jack and Jackie's old home
made it, but not the new one.
(After all, who ever heard of
living smack downtown?) AS
can be guessed, Georgetown
has it's share of red numbers

Contractors
In Fairfax
BaIk al Deal
Later Back Down
In Banning Bids
On School Job

/ bOAo Aoob AlASAAG 4C1uoCO W ouU-
NIT bids on a Fairfax County
School project because of the
rehiring of Construction Direc-
tor Thomas G. Dodd, who pre-
viously had accused school
authorities of accepting sub
standard work.
The contractors later
changed their minds and said
they would submit bids next
Wednesday after School Supt.
Earl c. Funderburk assured
them that "the personality that
you are referring to will not
have anything to do with this
particular job"
Mr.. Dodd was fired by Mr.
Funderburk on March 8 after
the construction director made
the sHb.standard work charge
Under pressure from the Board
of Supervisors, which appoints
the School Board, the latter
directed the rehiring of Mr..
Dodd this week.
There were these other de-
velopmentS in the Dodd affair
DOdd Reinstated
l. Mr.. Dodd said he received
by registered mail last night a
letter from Mr.. Funderburk in
forming him ''the School
Board had reinStated me-" and
he would receive back pay to
March 8. The letter directed
him to report for duty at Mr.
Funderburk'S office at $3.50
am. Tuesday.
Mr.. Dodd said. II will re-
sign rather than work under the
supervision of James Wool
bridge. I will work for the
School Board under proper Su-
pervision." Mr.. Woodbridge is
Mr.. Funderburk's assistant in
charge of construction.
2. A resolution seeking the
"censure or dismissal" of Mr..
Funderburk was introduced at
the County Federation of Citi-
zens' Association last night.
Mr.. Funderburk has been
severely criticized by tn e
County Civil Service Commits
sion for his role in firing Mr..
Dodd without advance notice,
and the Superintendent's re-
Spouse was to label the COM
missions report "skullduggery''
and political chicanery."
The resolution was referred
to the federation's Executive
Committee. President Ives
Maroni, said a special meeting
may be called in July.
Contractor Complains
At last nights contract bic
meeting school officials said
they had expected seven OF
eight bids on an addition and
renovation project at Falls
Church High School, expected
to cost about 100000.
Contractor Earl Rosti said tc
school officials: 1.-THE intangi-
bles have almost got the best
of U.S."
Mr.. RoSti suggested the con-
tractors get together" with
school officials and leave the
newspapers out of this thing"
School Board Chairman He
riot asked Mr.. RoSti whether
Mr.. Dodd was the reason he was
not submitting a bid. Mr.. Rosti
replied that he would be happy
to tell Mr.. Heriot his reasons
but that mo matter what we
say, it's going to be slanted" in
the newspapers.
Another contractor, M. L.
Whitlow, said directly that some
subcontractors had called him
and complained they would
not bid the job if Mr.. Dodd
were assigned" to it.
Mr.. Heriot told the contrac-
tors that there was mo question
in our minds that you are do
ing the best possible job"

The smashed car, its hood
and top sheared off, was
hoisted from the river four
hours later. Firemen began
dragging the river for a body
or bodies later in the morning.
A Washington police official,
Deputy Chief George R. Wall

operation assisted by Navy
frogmen, a District Highway
Department crew and two boats
from the Washington harbor

BY $40 am. the auto was

bridges three lanes were cleared
for beginning of the rush-hour
traffic. Earlier, Highway De-

Through this gap, the car was
hoisted by cranes to the bridge
pavement.

Got Gold Fever

In 1900 Farrell "got the gold
fever" and came back to Alaska, this
time with an uncle who had left
the Dawson Territory sometime be-
fore. The two went to SkagWay on
the boat in 1900.
From there they went over the
famed White Pass to WhitehorSe-
$50 mile walk to Dawson. Some
times they rode with company teams
that were hauling perishables into
the camps. but most of the way they

Fairbanks in 1945 and they were
married in 1916. She was the first
woman to fly to Nome in Alaska
In fact, her pilot was Noel Vein.
Weddings weren't completely new
to Farrell, because before he had
never seen a wedding he was called
upon to compose and perform a
wedding ceremony in mining
camp. This he did and with apparent
success.
Long Trip
During the Dawson gold rush he
made the trip from Whitehorse to
Dawson driving a team of horses on

He worked his way to Juneau on
a steamer as a dishWasher. He was
there only a few hours and re
turned to Seattle.
Farrell, who witnessed the hard
ships of the goldrush days, recalls
with a chuckle Duke whom he
met on the steamer. The fellow
