$701, 847 More Asked
By Kennedy for D. c.

President Kennedy sent to
Congress today a request for an
additional $701 BAT in District
funds to be spent during this
fiscal year.
The supplemental spending
bill is for operating expenses
for the city.
Almost all of the money
would be used to finance pro-
grams already authorized by
Congress.
City budget officials said the
money would come from I'M
spent amounts originally ear
marked for various construc-

authority to return such
amounts to the Treasury as
revenue credits for the spend

Included in today's spending

ment'S circumStantial case has
not been proved beyond all
reasonable doubt.
Most HeinOus of Crimes
Mr.. Tydings, in a one-hour
address to the jury, said: II
consider this type of crime one
of the most heinous of all
crimes"
He pointed out the three
possible verdicts open to the
jury but did not request that
the panel recommend a death
sentence for Alvey.
The prosecutor reminded the
jury that Michael's murder was
no part of the Lindbergh law,
declaring the mere transporta-
ton of the boy across the State
line was all that had to be
proved.
The prosecutor reminded the
jury of FBI Agent Elmer Todd's
testimony about the alleged
re-enactment of the crime by
Alvey. Then referring to Alvey,
he continued:
you know the type of man
he is by his own admissions,
uncontradicted and unchal-
lenged. You know how he is
about little boys in general and
about his procedure with small
boys. 1t was an unfortunate
quirk of fate that Mickey Con-
detti happened to be where he
was on that afternoon"
Says Proof Is Lacking
Defense Attorney Hill, sum-
ming up his case for Alvey in
an hour, declared the Govern
ment had no evidence or testi-
mony that placed Alvey in the
District of Columbia on the day
of the crime.
Il tell you the man who COM
mitted this crime is still on the
street." the Dumfries (Va.) at
torney said. Taking another
life will not bring back Michael
Condetti."
Mr.. Hill attacked the testi-
mony of Mrs. Mary Leistra, who
had pointed out the defendant
in court as the man she saw
with Michael in a Palmer Park
Md store on November IA,
1860.
Mr. Hill remined the jury that
Mrs. Leistra had first identified
an FBI man in a lineup, rather
than Alvey, as the man she saw
with the boy. He also recalled
that Mrs. Leistra had gone to
Mount Alto Hospital long be-
fore Alvey's arrest and identi-
fled yet another man as the one
she saw.

1O-Acre RLAAward
Hit as 'Capricious'
Double STANDARD
On Southwest
Design Charged
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star Staff Writer

S~a SS~~@
The Redevelopment Land
Agency today ran into sharp
criticism of its plan to award
a 10-acre Southwest Washing
ton site for apartments and
town houses to the CAROLS
burg Square Corp. Of Wash
ington.
Condemning the proposed
award as arbitrary and capri
cious," an attorney for Adson
Industries. Inc, of New York
charged that the redevelop-
ment agency had "misled and
entrapped" his client and "op-
Grated on a double standard"
in a design competition on
which the land disposition is
based.
At a public hearing before
the RIA to consider the pro-
posed lease, a second attorney
representing the Fellowship
Square Foundation, Inc. an
other Of the eight competitors
also objected to the proposed
award as lin error" and re-
quested reconsideration of all
proposals.
Both firms said their designs
we're disqualified by agency Of
ficialS before they were handed
over to an architectural panel
set up to judge the design ccm-
petition.
Bidding Based on Design
The Southwest tract Is
bounded by M, N, and Forth
streets and Delaware avenue
S.W.
This is the second large par
eel offered by the RIA for

and others had criticized the
design as not being fairly con-
Quoted.
The earlier case was COM
Iplicated by a demand for a
stronger anti discrimination
stand on the RLA's part. with
the outcome that w. C. and A.
N. Miller. a Washington build
ing firm, withdrew as one Of
the sponsors.
The winning designs for both
the Tiber Island lease award
and that proposed to be given
to Carrollsburg Square Corp.
were prepared by the Wash
ington architectural firm Of
Reyes. Lethbridge & Condor.
The president of Carrollsburg
Square Corp. is j. Slater David
son, jr., who also heads the
Charles H. Tompkins Co.. one
of the city's largest contractors.
Architects Well Known
Appearing for Adson Indus
tries, Inc, one of the losing
competitors, Attorney Ralph
Weiser said:
I'VE gave you the best archi-
tects for your program that we
could find, and you gave us the
runaround."
The designers for Adson's
submission were Abraham Gel
Ter of New York and Milton
Schwartz of Philadelphia, both
well-known architects.
Mr.. Weiser said the archi-
tects discussed their plan with
agency officials in advance Of
submission and were not told
it violated any of the rules and
would be disqualified.
Instructions of the COMPETE
ton called for high-rise apart
ments to be placed on the east
side of the tract, with town
houses on the west.
Mr.. Weiser said the winning
design "inter-mixed" apart
mentS and town houses in what
he termed a "catch-as-catch-
can arrangement"
Sponsors of the Carrollsburg
Square proposal deny that their
submission violates rules Of the
competition.

Advisory Vote
On Poll Tax
Repeal Urged
Mrs. Stone, Boothe
Seek Referendum
For Virginia
BY ALEX r. PRESTON
Star Staff Writer

| Guar oIhIl WTlteE
RICHMOND, Feb. IAN ad-
viSory referendum on repeal of
Virginia's poll tax was called off
today in legislation offered the
General Assembly by Delegate
Kathryn Stone of Arlington
and Senator Armistead L.
Boothe of Alexandria.
The vote would be held this
November on the question Of
abolishing the $3.50 annual fee
as a prerequisite to voting.
Identical bills declare "the
effect of the referendum shall
be purely and entirely advisory
and shall have no effect
other than to advise the Gov
ernor and the General Assembly
as to the opinion of the quail
fled voters"
Offered in 194Os
The last time a vote was
taken on poll tax repeal was in
the late 1940'S on the so-called
Campbell Amendment to the
constitution.
Mrs. Stone had more than ID
patrons on her bill including
all Delegates from the Airing
ton and Norfolk areas.
Senator Boothe said the
Campbell amendments sub
mitted to the voters in 1948
were so complicated that per-
sons who favored poll tax re-
peal had to vote against them.
EAST" Time Backed
A new attempt to place Vir-
GINA on daylight saving time
six months of the year, along
with most Of the eastern sea-
board, will be made in the Cen
eral Assembly.
Delegate Russell M. Carneal
of Williamsburg said he would
introduce the bill possibly to-
day or tomorrow. It would re-
quire standard and daylight
times to be observed uniformly
throughout the State.
Indications are that his six
month daylight time bill will
be set for public hearing next
week along with two other
measures.
One, by Delegate Tom Frost
of Warrenton. would repeal
Northern Virginia's right to
switch to daylight time with
the District of Columbia, and
require standard time to be
observed the year round. The
other, by Delegate George M.
Cochran of Stanton, would
give the Governor discretion in
setting the period daylight
time should be observed.
The General Assembly today
sent to Gov. Harrison for his
signature a bill designed to
catch tax dodgers in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area, in
Guiding both Maryland and
Virginia.
Agreements Permitted
It allows this State to enter
into mutual agreements with
Maryland and the District of
Columbia over assessing the
bank accounts or other assets
for taxes due by persons who
move from one Jurisdiction to
another.
The measure is the first of
this session sponsored by the
Arlington House delegation
which has reached Gov. Harri-
sons desk.
The House of Delegates
adopted a joint resolution yes
terday commencing the Rules
Committee of the United States
House of Representatives for
blocking President Kennedy's
proposed Department of Urban
Affairs after Fairfax Delegate
John c. Webb expressed opposi-
ton to the action.
