Park Service
To Convert
Jones Point
By JERRY KLINE
Star staff Writer

After years of waiting, the
National Park Service has
gained control Of as acres OF
marshland at Jones Point in
Alexandria and is preparing
plans to turn the property into
a park.
Attempts by the Park Service
during past years to obtain the
land were thwarted while the
Woodrow Wilson Bridge was
constructed overhead. Also in
terested in the land were Alex
andria city officials, concerned
with the lack of park land in
the area. The officials quietly
bowed out when the Park Serv-
ice announced its intentions.
Most of the waterfront prop
erty, which was under the
jurisdiction of the Corps Of En-
g1neerS, was declared excess
by the General Services Ad-
mlnistration last June. Exclud-
ed were a 200-foot-wide right
of-way strip beneath the bridge
and about three acres of a
naval reserve training center.
Two neglected landmarks-a
century-old lighthouse and a
cornerstone that marked the
southern boundary of the Dis
trict of Columbia in 1791 are
located on the. Park Service
property, but they remain deed
ed to the Mount Vernon chap
ter of the Daughters of the
American Revolution under a
congressional act of 1926.
Raymond L. Freeman, assist
ant regional director of the
Park Service, said that his de-
oartment and OAR representa-
lives have held exploratory
in an attempt to re-
store the landmarks as "inter-
oretive exhibits"

ON THE WAY TO $50 MILLION
Cash Begins to Flow
For Cultural Center

The campaign for a $50 MIL
lion National Cultural Center in
Washington yesterday got down
to what one of the campaign
leaders described as "the serious
arm-twisting stage"
The occasion was a buffet
luncheon for about rs commu-
nifty leaders, held, appropri-
ately, in the tenth-floor board
room of a bank, Gle American
Security and Trust Co. at Fiji
teenth and Pennsylvania NV.
When the session was over,
several of those who had ar
ranged it described themselves
as delighted with the results.
But one of those who at
tended took away with him
5000 worth Of tickets for the
dinner and closed circuit tele-
cast at the District National
Guard Armory on November 30.
And another of those present
took a 10-seat table for $1,000.
Floyd Akers, Washington au-
tomobile dealer and member
of the board of trustees for the
center, put the problem this
way: Response to the nation
wide campaign to raise funds
for the center depends to a
great extent on how much sup
port the campaign gets in
Washington.
$50 at S1OO
The goal is to sell $50 places
at 500 apiece to the dinner
and show at the Armory, one
of the five places where the
telecast will originate.
1t is also hoped that there
will be a sell-out at the $25-
a-plate buffet dinner at the
Indian Spring Country Club,
the $1-to-$5 Showings at six
university campuses and the
$2-to-$5 showing at Loew's

Angered at Charge
Two Suspects
Arrested in
Gaming Raid

A raiding party of Federal
agents, including a 215-pound
United States marshal used as
a door -smasher, invaded an al
legged horse-and-football betting
and numbers headquarters in
Suitland, Md, yesterday.
Two men were charged with
violating Federal gambling tax
laws.
Released in $1,000 bond each
were Murry E. Freeman, 40, of
Fort Lauderdale, Fla, and John
T. Jampalis, 81, a part-time
auto salesman, of the $500 block
of Wilson boulevard, Arlington.
81 Million a Year
The two are suspected OF
running a 81 million a year
bookie operation in a one-bed-
room apartment in the 5000
block of Suitland road in near
by Prince Georges County. a
spokesman for the Internal
Revenue Services intelligence
division said.
Freeman and Jampalis. an
IRIS agent said, were charged
specifically with failing to OBJ
tain $50 Federal gambling tax
stamps. The maximum penalty
for the offense is one year in
Jail and or a $4,000 fine. Bond
for the men was fixed by
United States Commissioner
Samuel w. H. Melroy of Upper
Marlboro, Md.
The raiders, an IRIS agent
said. seized $7.772.50 in cash
in the Suitland apartment and
also confiscated an adding ma
chine, numbers slips, a scratch
sheet, betting records and five
telephones.
Wad of Bills
In the apartments bathroom,
IRIS said, agents discovered a
wad of $100 bills, amounting to
about $4,000, which the sus-
pected bookies had apparently
tried to hide.
The two men failed to open
the apartment door in answer
to the raiders knocks and
shouts yesterday afternoon. At
this point, an IRIS spokesman
said, a 215-pound marshal from
Baltimore broke open the door
and the raiders entered.
1t. George Clements of the
Prince Georges County police
departments vice squad ac-
companied the IRIS agents on
the raid.
An IRIS official said an ex-
animation of betting records in
the apartment indicated that
the total "play" for a three-day
period amounted to $4,000 or
$4,000. Using these figures, the
IRIS spokesman said the pro-
iected annual gross of the oper-
alton would come to 81 million
or more.
In a gaming venture of that
size, the IRIS agent said, the
net profit to the operators
would be about $4,000 a year.

Addressing ITO union repre-
sentatives at a testimonial
luncheon at the Hamilton Ho-
tel, the candidate said he was
angry about a statement re-
leased by Mr.. Steers Tuesday
The Republican contender said
organized labor contributed
more than $4,000 to his op-
ponent's primary campaign in
Montgomery County. He also
contended that Mr.. Sickles was
closely tied to labor because
his father is president of the
International Asbestos Work
ers of America.
Sure my dad is a working
man." retorted Mr.. Sickles. 81

this make me a tool of the
labor bosses?
Does Mr.. Steers wish to tell
the people of Maryland that
it's okay for Vanderbilts and
DupontS to contribute thous-
ands to his campaign, but it is
not okay for the working men
and women to contribute to
mine?"
Denies Name Calling
Mr.. Sickles, a labor lawyer,
said he was mad because some
desperate demagogue, some in
experienced upstart comes into
our State, promises our people
jobs, spreads a wake of innu-
Iendo against its public officials,
spends money as If it grew on
trees, and tries to puy a public
office"
Mr.. Steers replied to the
criticism by saying that he had
never called Mr.. Sickles any
names, had not criticized his
father, that Mr.. Sickles is
spending more money than he
is and that he has not received
any money from the American
Medical Association.
"The only things I have
called my opponent are a nice
young man, intelligent and
personable,' said Mr.. Steers.

Increased Tax

Mr. PreSsman said Coy. Tawes
had increased the sales tax last
year without justification and
allowed political bosses to have
too much influence, but he
said the Republicans have put
up an unqualified candidate.
Mr.. Small received two news
paper Endorsements in Western
Maryland today. They came
from the Cumberland News
and the Hagerstown Herald.
The Cumberland paper said
in an editorial: 1--WE believe the
shortcomings of the Tawes ad-
miniStration the last four years
justify serious consideration of
Republican candidates for
Statewide office by all the

The Hagerstown paper called

In Suit Over Police Doc

A District Court judge today
took under advisement the Dis
trict's claim that the city is
immune from suits for injuries
inflicted by off-duty police
dogs.
Mrs. Louise K. Barr, At, of
1889 Park road NV, is suing
the District for $4,000 for in
juries she claims were caused
by police dog that pounced on
her near her home last August.
In her suit, Mrs. Barr claimed
she was walking her small dog
when a larger police dog
jumped over a back yard fence,
knocked her down on the side
walk and then bounced upon
her chest"
The woman said her injuries
required hospital treatment.
Through her lawyer, John j.
Spriggs, jr., she maintains that
the District should have kept
the police dog under control.

sci William F. Patten argued

He told Judge John j. Sirica
that the Canine Corps is used
by police to prevent crime and
that this is a governmental
function that bars suits for in
juries inflicted by police dogs.
Mr.. Patten said the dogs are
kept at officers homes because
this is the most efficient way to
utilize them. Officials said the
dogs are trained to attack only
on command.
Mr.. Spriggs argued that the
police dog was not engaged in
preventing crime during off
duty hours. He cited a case
in which negligent maintenance
of an old horse ambulance
stable resulted in liability.
Every Novel Question"
The lawyer said that he
thinks it is a good thing that
police dogs are used to curb
crime here. His position is that
the District should take steps
to prevent off-duty injuries.
Judge Sirica, in taking the
Districts motion to dismiss the
suit under Amusement, said the
case raised a very novel ques-
ton" He said he wanted to
read cases cited by the two
lawyers.

revenue would fall with declin-
ing sales, he indicated. Very
likely employees in downtown
stores would lose jobs, he
added, increasing the posi-
bility of unemployment.
Strong Legislation Pictured
The Commissioners letter
was aimed at legislation intro
duced by Democratic Senators
Humphrey of Minnesota and
Proxmire of Wisconsin. The
bill apparently is not moving.
But senators repeatedly have
gotten together with Senator
Capehart, Republican of In
diana, who sponsored another
version to try to draft a COM
promise.
Inc compromise is likely to
drop perhaps the strongest
language in the Humphrey
Proxmire version-a allowing
persons damaged by cut-rate
sales to sue to recover damages
or to enjoin sales.
The principle of any COM
promise will remain the same,
however. And Commissioners
may be expected to continue
their opposition, under heavy
pressure from District mer-
chants and worried about find
ing enough tax revenue to

Rule Change
Urged toCut
Relief Rolls
BY BETTY MILES
Star Staff Writer

District Commissioner John
B. Duncan has started the
wheels rolling on a plan to let
mothers on relief work and
keep the difference between
their earnings and their relief
grant.
Mr.. Duncan said such a
plan would be permissible
under Federal law governing
the Aid to Dependent Children
program.
However, this portion of the
program might have to be fl
nanced with local money only.
He hopes his fellow Commits
sioners will agree to ask for
necessary changes in District
law that would permit it.
Voices Concern
Citing the Importance of
incentive in a welfare program
in bringing about eventual
independence of relief recipi-
ents, the Commissioner said he
has been concerned about the
mother on relief who wanted
to work but would have to live
on less to do so.
For example, he said, a
mother might be raising her
family on a relief check of
5000 a month, and be offered
a job paying $3.50. If she goes
to work, she will have $40 less
a month coming in. And,
since she then probably will
have to pay about $50 a month
in day care costs for her chill
dren, her net earnings would
only be $40.
do you believe a person in
that predicament, who doesn't
have the benefit of pride and
education, would go to work
when she had only $40 a
month left?" he asked. cts
not hard to decide what she
would do"
Saving Seen
However, incentive to work
would be provided if the cost
of day care was covered, and
a mother could keep the diff
ference between her earnings
and her grant, the Commission
err feels.
The government would save
money and the woman would
be self-supporting, he said.
Commissioner Duncan ad-
dressed a corrections confer
ence luncheon of the District
Health and Welfare Council at

HeoriingHere
Is PutOff

District officials held an alb
breviated public hearing today
on a proposal to build a park
ing lot, much to the disappoint-
ment of about 80 residents who
had appeared for the meeting.
The hearing, at the District
Building, was cut short because
of pending legislation dealing
with the city's parking projects,
Engineer Commissioner Fred
erick j. Clarke explained. An
other hearing will he held after
Congress acts on the matter.
Gen. Clarke said.
Asked why the hearing had
not been Cancelled earlier, Gen.
Clarke replied, candidly, that
he had not heard of the pend
ing parking legislation until
this morning.
This proposal, included in
the city's revenue bill, would
require specific legislative au-
thorization for every District
public parking project. The
city now has a blanket author
ization and has to win Con-
gressional approval only for an
appropriation.
Today's hearing was on a
proposal that the city use its
condemnation powers to &C
quire land in the Fourteenth
