Old Stone House Wins
More Slightly Neighbor

District Court Judge Edward
M. Curran has ruled for the
District in a controversy over
operation of a parking lot next
to the Old Stone House on M
street in Georgetown.
The judges ruling upheld the
Board Of zoning Adjustment in
its insistence that asphalt cop
ing be replaced on the lot and
that an entrance sign be moved.
The coping, which the Dis
trict maintained was made
quate, was designed to keep
cars from hitting fences and
walls. The District wanted
cement obstacles.
The Board of Zoning Adjust
ment in a May, 1861, order also
demanded moving of an en-
trance sign. The District said
in papers filed at District Court
tina THE sign, in its present
location, obviously detracts
fSom the historical appearance
of the house." The Stone House
was built in 1766 and is a his
TORN landmark here.
The District rejected a claim
by the owners and operators of
the parking lot, which is under
separate management, that the
Board Of Zoning adjustment
had been "capricious" in re-
quiring the changes.
Owners and operators of the
parking lot maintained in su-
ing to prevent enforcement of
the Districts ruling that the
changes would be so expensive
that they would make parking
lot operation "uneconomical. I"
In papers filed with the court,
the District board members had
inspected the lot themselves.

PARIS-Attorney General
Robert Kennedy appears to
have become convinced that
Europe is a real force, which
If necessity should demand,
could go it alone. This view
followed a tWo-hour talk
with Chancellor Konrad
Adenauer and a 45-minute
conversation with President
Charles de Gaulle.
1t appears that on his hop
skip fact-finding tour ex-
tending from Tokyo to Paris,
the power of Western Europe
&c nomic, moral and
military impressed Mr..
Kennedy more than any
thing else he saw.
Mr.. Kennedy's talk with
Gen. de Gaulle went less
smoothly than that with the
kindly 86-year-old German
Chancellor The towering
French chief of state re-
portedly did not mince words
when he outlined the major
differences between CONT
mental Europe and America.
But, on the whole, according
to those close to Gen. de
Gaulle, the general has a
better impression of the
younger brother of the
President than any other of
the Americans who have
visited him since 1858.
Gen. de Gaulle is said to
have described Robert as
made of mortar and rock"
And he has also expressed
his hope that the Attorney
General will convey to the
any Washington policy
makers the full story of what
he has found from his talks
with the two princip a l
leaders Of contin e n t a l
Europe.
Gen. de Gaulle is said to
have set forth his views
about the European Fedora
ton as he believes it should
bean association of states
on a purely national line
with an advisory directorate.
And in this approach he diff
fers from what Washington
believes the European Fed

would lose their narrow
nationalism." The views of

at loggerheads with those of
the French and to a lesser

degree Of the Germans, were
expressed by the Presidents
younger brother in his Bonn
speech. He told the Germans
that 1.-THE European commu-
nifty must reject narrow ma
tionalism and look toward
the world"
OF course, this basic phi
losophy of our New Frontier
ism finds no favor in Europe
Chancellor A d auer and
Gen. de Gaulle believe firmly
that in a world menaced by
the atheiStic materialism of
the Communists, the pride Of
the free people in their his
tory is one of the essential
ingredients for a successful
resistance. If France today
has been able, so far, to
weather the storm of the
Algerian war and the abom-
nations of the misguided
Secret Army Organization, it
is due to the fact that Gen.
de Gaulle has given his peo-
pie the feeling of history-of
Frances grandeur" over the
centuries.
To the occasional visitor
to Paris or other cities, it is
strange to find the man in
the street taking such a diff
ferent view from that which
he had less than five years
ago. He now believes in the
historic mission of France. "
The American observer, fresh
from the American scene
where he hears so much
about one-WorldiSm and that
our own great country with
an unprecedented history of
growth and power should be-
come just another portion of
an eclectic world, is sur
priSed to see the vigor of
nationalism and national
pride in every European
country.
Germany has risen from
the shambles of the last war,
not only because of American
economic and financial help
or because of the hard work
of its own people, but be-
cause of the national pride
of its citizens. The same
can be said about every
other free country in Europe

There have been indications
some justices think the deci-
sion ahead of them may have
to deal with practices involving
more than just the lunch count
ers involved in the sit-in cases.
Justice Black, at one point,
said he finds great trouble,

Dynamite
IS Removed
From Sewer

A sanitation inspector max
ing a routine check found $50
pounds of dynamite yesterday
in a Fairfax City sewer.
Five hundred half pound
sticks of the explosive rested
in a manhole in front of the
VEPCO yard on Route so at
Kamp Washington.
City Police Chief C. F. Young
said more than 100 sticks had
crystallized, making them high
ly unstable. He said they might
explode if Jared. Sewer Super
intendent Jerry Blevin found
the dynamite shortly before
noon and called police.
The police detoured traffic
from Route so and blocked off
the area for nearly five hours,
from noon until 4:52 pm.
An Army demolition team
from Fort Belvoir removed the
dynamite stick by stick. Capt.
Vincent DeBells, in charge of
the team, crawled into the
manhole and handed the sticks
to his crew, who placed them
on mattresses in a station
wagon.
The wagon made two trips
with the dynamite to the Fair
fax County sanitary landfill on
Pope's Head Road near Fair
fax Station. All the sticks
had been soaked with oil be-
fore they were removed from
the manhole to reduce the
chance of an explosion. They
were all burned at the landfill
at about 6 pm.
Chief Young estimated the
dynamite had been in the sewer
for over a year" He said he
had no idea how the explosives
got there, but that his de-
partment would investigate.
Employees at the VEPCO
plant were isolated inside the
building for five hours. Police
would not let them leave, since
the only exit was within forty
feet of the manhole.

State Law Is Termed
Bosic Foctor in Sit-Ins

States cannot bring about dis.
elimination and then impose
criminal sanctions on the
ground that they are merely en-
forcing private property rights.
Justice Douglas has made II
clear he thinks restaurants may
possess such an essentially pub
lie character that they should
be required to employ impair
tial public utility standards.
81 don't see any greater in
vasion of this property right in
this case than in the case OF
a public utility" he said. At
another point, he said some call
this right sacred"
Watch for Factual Slips
Chief Justice Warren an d
Justice Goldberg have been es-
pecially alert to factual mat
tiers on which lawyers may Diff
fer or on which an attorney
may appear to stray somewhat
from the record.
In a Maryland case, for ex-
ample, Assistant Attorney Cen
eral Robert C. Murphy, of Bal
timore, made an unlucky state
ment that it had not bee n
known a Glen Echo Park guard
was also deputy sheriff.
How could anyone fail to
know 1t If he had it (hiS badge)
on the outside Of his shirt, +"
asked Chief Justice Warren.
Justice Brennan also l ande d
heavily on Mr.. Murphy on this
point.
Justice Goldberg, the courts
newest justice, gave evidence of
exhaustive homework on briefs
and lower court records. At
one point he even told a lawyer
where to look for something he
was trying to find.

Out of the numerous issues
raised in the sit-in cases being
argued before the Supreme
Court, the justices are shaping
the basic questions they will
have to answer.
These answers will decide
cases that pose deep issues in
volving State power to enforce
the segregation practices of
Owners Of private businesses
that are open to the public.
For now, however, the ques-
tons they are asking provide
the only clues to what the JUS
tees think may be the con-
trolling aspects of the seven
cases being argued.
Question Of Coercion
Justice Black, for example,
has questioned whether q res
taurant operator is making up
his own mind or being coerced
by a State into deciding to ex-
clude Negroes.
In four of the cases before
the court, city ordinances re-
quired segregated restaurant
and lunch counter facilities.
The question is what effect this
had on the operators.
How can the State say that
this is the voluntary action of
an individual If he would be
a criminal under the statute If
he (the owner) didn't do it, I"
asked Justice Black.
At another point, Justice
Black said he considered 1t i'm
portant to find out If the oper-
ator involved made the deci-
sion on his own or because the
ordinance was "a gun at his
back"
