was disclosed today after the
District zoning Commission
yesterday voted, 3 to /. in closed
session. to defer action on re-
zoning sought for the sites over
looking the Potomac.
The commission said it wants
to await the outcome of a
meeting Of the Fine Arts Com
mission on May is at which
Prof. Luigi Moretti' of Rome
will explain the design. Prof
Moretti is the projects prin-
cipal architect.

would allow a 130-foot height
for apartments, a hotel and an
office building on the triangu-
lar l0-acre tract bounded by
Virginia avenue. New Hamp-
shire avenue, Potomac park
way and F street NV.
80 Feet Preferred
Throwing its powerful influ-
ence against this plea, the
White House is understood to
prefer that the building height
by held to around 80 feet"
The Zoning Commission was
informed Of this administra-
ton attitude prior to the re-
coming deferral action at yes
terday's closed session.
The sponsoring firm earlier
explained 1t wants a higher
limit so 1t can provide more
open space than would be eco
nomic under the present 90
foot conventional coming.
The firms plans for higher
buildings recently were sup
ported by a 7-to-2 vote of the
National Capital Planning
Commission to get the project
under way. The vote was taken
in response to a Zoning Com
mission request for advice on
whether NCPC favored an in
creased height for buildings in
the area.
The arts commission, on the
other hand. opposed an in
crease in the building heights
and also expressed some Teser'

The
Rambler
Runs
Out of Gas
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The other evening an al
most incredible thing hap
pened. We were on our way
from Alexandria TO a small
dinner party in Georgetown.
Right on the Key bridge
our taxicab ran out of gas.
The driver was very apollo
getic, wanted US to wait until
he walked the rest Of the
way across and brought back
a can full.
But as it was a balmy
spring evening and-due to
daylight saving = the sun
was shining. So We elected
to walk.
We had plenty of time. Our
host had suggested a 6
o'clock arrival but had as
sured US dinner would not
be served until 7 or there
aboutS.
1t is remarkable how
Georgetown keeps its char
acter in a period Of change.
NJ street was and still is a
retail area that serves farm
ers from nearby Maryland
and Virginia. Stombock's
harness store is still there
although today its business
is more saddles and brides
than harness.
There are hardware stores
and paint stores and feed
stores and seed stores, There
are also q multiplicity of
liquor stores and bars and
grills and second hand stores
with a bit of the new George
town mixed in, a travel bu-
reau, French restaurants
and art stores.

william Bates. 20, Of 1909 Moss

vestigators they we're driving
east on Route 4 when they first
saw the plane swoop over the
treetOps near the highways

Didn't Hear Plane
I'VE didn't hear It, we just
suddenly saw it gliding in low
over the trees" Mr.. Bates
said. "Tt looked like It was
floating as it headed for the
highway"
Mr.. Bates said he slowed his
car as the plane struck q tele-
phone pole holding q high
tension wire on the north side
OF the highway. bounced across
q grass center strip. then
crossed in front Of him before
it slammed into an embank-
ment next to . wooded area
on the south side of the road.
The two men slid to q stop
and raced up the embankment
in time to see the phase burst
into flames.
Finding Comdr. Montague
dangling from the plane, the
two men said they worked amid
the flames to free his feet 50
they could remove him from
the burning craft.
Fearing a second explosion,
the men dashed back to the
plane, wrenched the pilots foot
free of the wreckage. and
dragged him down the em-
barikment to the highway. :.

vations about the develop
ment's curvilinear design.
In an unusual step, two ar
chitect members of the fine
arts group agreed to meet in
New York about 10 days ago
with representatives of the
Italian firm to see if objec-
tions could be ironed out.
The only apparent result was
an announcement that Prof.
Moretti personally would ap-
pear before the full commission
in mid-May to defend his de-
sign.
The New York meeting was
arranged after Brig. Gen. Fred
erick j. Clarke. District Engi-
neer Commissioner, told the
arts group members at their
last meeting he hoped further
delay of the project could be
avoided.
Gen. Clarke was the only
zoning Commission member
who yesterday opposed defer
ring rezoning action again.
The other members present,
who favored deferral, we're
Walter N. Tobriner, president
of the Board of Commission
ers; Commissioner John B.
Duncan and George Steward,
architect of the Capitol. The
fifth member. Conrad Wirth,
director of the National Park
Service. did not attend. He is
understood to oppose approval
of a l30-foot building height.
Finley Attends
Yesterdays coming session
was held in Commissioner
Clarke's office. Also present
were Mrs. James H. Rowe. jr.,
chairman of the planning COM
mission; David E. Finley. Fine
Arts Commission chairman,
ard other officials.
The meeting was called by
Gen. Clarke with the an
nounced purpose of getting q
zoning decision.
The Engineer Commissioner
pointed out the rezoning appli-
cation was filed last November
and indicated he felt further
delay was not fair to the spon-
soring firm.
: The sponsor owns outright
the 81 million tract for the
Watergate Towne project. The
land formerly was part Of a
Foggy Bottom tract owned by
the Washington Gas Light Co.
Previously rezoning was ap-
proved for the adjacent CO.
lumbia Plaza urban renewal
project area which allows con-
struction of l30-foot-higlI
apartment and hotel buildings
nearby.
Objection Of the Fine Arts
Commission to similar action
for Watergate Towne appears
to center on proximity of this
project to the Potomac River
and to the proposed national
cultural center.
Mrs. Bacon Protests
The appropriateness Of the
cultural center's location is now
being disputed. The Washing
ton Building Congress and
the Washington Metropolitan
Chapter, American Institute of
Architects, believe it should be
placed closer to downtown
Washington, rather than in the
midst of expressways and
bridge approaches to be built
north Of Constitution avenue,
along the Potomac shoreline.
Another voice in opposition
to the proposed development
was raised yesterday by Mrs.
Robert L. Bacon, member Of
the Advisory Committee Of the
National Cultural Center.
In a message as an indivi-
dual to the District Commits
sioners, she said that the
tower sized structures will
block the view of the Cultural
Center SO that 1t can only
be seen from the river or the
air and squeeze 1t into an all
but inaccessible position"

Bug Probe
Seen Endinu
Next Week
Investigator 0beys
District Court
Order to Testify
By PHIL THOMAS
Star Staff Writer

A grand jury investigation Of
the "bugging" of a Mayflower
Hotel room last month is ex-
pected to end next week.
This was revealed by a spokes-'
man for the United States at
torney's office after a private
investigator obeyed a District
Court order to tell the grand
jury what he knows about the
case.
The Investigator, Wayne G..
Barber, 80, of 2725 Nicholson
street, West Hyattsville, Md,
spent an hour and is minutes
before the grand jury yester-
day, then attended a confer
ence in the office Of David c.
Acheson, United States attor-
ney.
MIR. Barber's attorney, Ruth
erford Day, and two Washing
ton policemen, Detective Sergt.
Everett A. Sadler and Detective
Robert r. Gould of the general
assignment squad, who have
been assisting the United States
attorneys office, also conferred
with Mr.. Acheson and Assistant
United States Attorney Harold
Sullivan, who Is directing the
investigation.
Tracking Down RumOr
Police officials, meanwhile,
took steps to track down a
rumor that two policemen
second precinct detective and
headquarters bureau official
were somehow involved in the
Mayflower electronic caves
dropping case.
Police Chief Robert v. MUIR
ray said he sent two aides yes
terday to the United States
Attorneys office to investigate
the rumor, and, in addition,
spoke to the headquarters de-
tective allegedly involved in the
case.
The detective, the chief said,
emphatically denied any con-
nection with the "bugging" in
cident. The chief said he will
confer today with the two aides
who yesterday were sent to the
prosecutors office.
The inquiry is concerned with
the bugging Of the hotel room
of Malcolm T. DUNCAN, attorney
for a West Coast power com.
bine involved in a multi-mil-
liOn-dollar case before the
Federal Power Commission.
Filed Civil Suit
Mr. DUNCAN has charged in
q civil suit filed in District
Court that someone listened
In on business conversations In
his room. The complaint
named three defendants, John
y. Frank, q former FBT agent,
and Oliver w. Angelone and
John w. Leon, both private in
vestigators.
Mr.. Barber had refused to
Fanswer grand jury questions
put to him last Friday and
yesterday morning. Court pa
pers revealed that he declined
to answer on grounds his an
swers might tend to incriminate
him.
However. the investigator re-
turned to answer the questions
after he was ordered to do so
by District Court Judge Edward
A. Tamra. The judge handed
down the order after Mr.. Ache
son and Mr.. Sullivan offered
Mr.. Barber immunity from
prosecution as q result Of an
swers he might give to ques-
tions asked by the grand jury.

Police Ask
Grand Jury
Crime Study

The Metropolitan Police De-
partment has replied TO charges
that it has failed to crack down
on gambling. prostitution and
narcotics crimes in the city with
a request for a Federal grand
jury investigation.
Police Chief Robert V. MUIR
ray today declared the request
for q jury probe was relayed
to United States Attorney
David c. Acheson by one of
the chiefs deputies - Deputy
Chief John B. Layton, recently
named to head the departments
new anti-corruption internal
security squad.
Accusations that police are
less than reasonably vigilant in
the enforcement of gambling
and other laws were made last
month by the Rev. E. Franklin
Jackson, president of the Dis
trict branch of the National
Association for the Advance
ment Of Colored People.
Recruiting Criticized
Mr.. Jackson also criticized
department hiring practices,
which, he said, involved the
Of new policemen
from Maryland. Virginia and
the deep South while ignoring
applicants from the District
of Columbia"
In letter to the editor pub
lished in The Star on April
%, Mr.. Jackson stated:
ANY cub reporter or any
rookie policeman can tell you
where to place a bet on the
numbers, the horses. the dogs
or to engage In a crap game
). where to purchase liquor
after hours.
TT is common knowledge
that prostitution rings exist
from the one hundred dollar
call girl to the three-dollar

Murray Replies
Chief Murray earlier had re-
piled to the NAACP leaders
statements. On April 1S, the
police chief wrote that the
accusations were "irresponsi-
ble." He added:
II have directed a letter to
Rev. jackson indicating this
and calling on him to advise
me of any such information of
activities in his possess
sion which would have prompt
ed him to make such remarks.
"Our records indicate" the
chief declared. that more ar
rests have been made for gam
bling and liquor violations
during this quarter of 1862
than during 1861. Further,
during the past year our Mar
cotics Squad arrested 248 in
for violations Of the

The police official further
stated that police recruiting is
handled strictly by the United

sion."

day before yesterday and yesterday, that we
were able to gather up to 10 am. to-day An
hour subsequently it was learned here per
telegraph that after the overwhelming re-
pulse of the rebels at noon yesterday they re-
tired in hot haste from before our whole line,
as though in sort of Bull Run panic, and that
the numbers actually engaged on both sides
were more than 100000, and still further that
each succeeding moment has made it plain
that the consequence of McClellan's victory
are most momentous. Or. in other words, we
presume: that it is momentarily becoming
more and more evident that their defeat has
utterly destroyed the rebels prospect of be-
ing able to continue to defend. As yet nothing
is known here of the particulars of the loss
on either side, further than that while ours
was very heavy, theirs was enormously larger
amounting, we think the signs are, almost to
the humiliation Of their best trained and
most experienced troops. -.
Johnston's plan to turn both ends of
