inally drawn up for the agency
by architect Chloethiel Wood
ard Smith. At public hearings
last May, Watson B. Rulon, jr.
proprietor Of Hogate's Restau-
rant in the waterfront area,
proposed extensive changes,
particularly for increased park
ing, and we're adopted.
Presumably, the form the re-
construc ted waterfront will
eventually take will depend a
great deal on the detailing" to
be undertaken soon.
Mr.. Doyle said there is gen.
eral acceptance of the proposal
that more parking spaces
should be made available than
originally were outlined, an d
that they should be largely con-
cealed.
Additional parking, he said,
can be placed beneath water
front bull Eings, and possibly
underneath at least some of
six public park sites provided
for in the urban renewal plan.
I'VE want to get as many
parking spaces as we can with
out doing any harm to the ap-
pearance of the waterfront"
he said.
AS the program is supplied
with more detail through subse-
quent design work expected to
be sought by the agency, Mr..
Doyle said, the half dozen wa

RIA to Ask Waterfront BuiIdinq Bids

The Redevelopment Land
Agency will invite bids within
two weeks for the first con-
struction work on the much
delayed Maine avenue water
front.
Phil A. Doyle, the agency's
new executive director, said last
night that preparation of plans
and specifications for 5000
foot-long new bulkhead is now
being completed by the Ewin
Engineering Co.
The present schedule calls
for awarding a contract for
bulkhead construction by
March l, and completion by
the end Of the year.
The big shoreline project will
extend the land area 100 feet
beyond the present bulkhead
line, and supply much addi-
tional area for waterfront at
fractions and enterprises.
The agency official said RIA
is now getting ready to move
ahead generally on the water
front so that some private
firms may also proceed with
permanent buildings this sum-
mer.
I'VE want to get reconstruc-
ton started by some redevelop-
ers as soon as possible" he said.

terfront construction sites will
be further divided.
The first leases to private re-
developers he explained, will be
offered to firms which occupied
waterfront land conveyed to
RIA by the Corps of Engineers.
Under an act of Congress, such
displacees we're given priority as
possible leSsees of sites.
AS for waterfront redevelop-
ment under supervision, or con-
troll, of a non-profit corpora
ton such as was proposed six
months ago by the agency, Mr..
Doyle said this plan had not
been discarded, though no de-
cision has as yet been reached.
He said there was much to
recommend a method of this
kind, especially as a means of
insuring desirable operation of
waterfront facilities after their
completion
In June, last year, the agency
reported it had proposed such
a program to the Federal City
Council and that this citizen
group had agreed to set up a
corporation for the purpose.
Since then, the matter has been
held in allegiance.
Il believe the board plans to
take up this matter, along with
others affecting the waterfront.

too little and too much.
1T must be fully justified, "
he said.
He said, however, that the
city'S chief problem is to main
tain the population it has. He
indicated he would do all he
could to prevent further flights
to the suburbs, instigated, he
feels, through further taxation
on real estate holdings.
He said he was particularly
concerned about the survival
of downtown business interests
and emphasized that I'VE must
keep people in the District"
Opposes Tax Increases
He pictures additional real
estate taxes as just another
method of driving people out. -
Any plan for additional taxa
ton, he said, must consider the
population factor.
His tenure of the chairman
ship may bring an end to a
longtime practice of writing
legislation into appropriation
bills.

said Mr.. hatcher, will this SUBJ

tive field" He makes no secret
OF the fact he was displeased
with the promotion of three

he emphasizes, is ended as far
as he is concerned.
And Mr.. hatcher also plans
to hold a public session in the
evening for District citizens
who wish to testify on the
budget. Although it is tiring
chore, he nevertheless feels
that last years daytime ses-
sion prevented a number of
people from having their full
say.

Maid Reports
ussIe Over
Her Passport
By GERALD o. HERNDON
Star Staff Writer


A brown haired German
maid last night said her Dip
lomatic Corps employer and
his wife wrestled with her in
a Donnybrook at their Bethesda
home in an effort to take away
her passport.
RoSina Maria Krieger related
the events she said took place
Friday night with a German
Embassy scientific attache and
his wife when she told them
she had decided to quit.
When Montgomery County
police arrived at the Bethesda
home where Miss Krieger had
worked for less than two
months, they said the 24-year-
old girl was bruised and Sob
bing, but was still clutching her
passport.
Her account Of the incident
contrasted sharply with the
story told to police by the Ger
man official, Eduard Hess of
1921 Marbury road, Bethesda.
Mr.. Hess said the girl at
tackled him when he asked her
to surrender her passport, which
he said was valid only while she
was serving in his home.
"You can't fight a girl back
so I called the police" said Mr..
Hess.
Miss Krieger, however, said
the melee flared up when she
announced to Mr.. Hess that she
was unhappy in his employ and
intended to leave. She said she
chose to tell him Friday because
Mr.. Hess was about to take a
trip to Germany and she rea-
soned that he could find an
other maid while there.
The girl declared that the at
tache demanded her passport
and when she refused to yield
it, he began to rummage
through her basement room.
The struggle began, Miss
Krieger said, when she seized
her passport from it's hiding
place. Then, she said, both Mr..
Hess and his wife wrestled with
her during a Commute scuffle
in her room, the basement and
a stairway.
When she heard Mr.. Hess tell
his wife to call police, the girl
said, she was overjoyed.
County policemen who ar
rived at the Hess home said
that the girls hair was in dis
array and that she was bruised
and blood-spattered.
The girl said that she still
hopes to stay in America and
find a job.

Field Urged
For Munici pal Court
Group Drafts
Bill to Expand
Jurisdiction
By DANA BULLEN
Star Staff Writer

A committee of lawyers and
judges has recommended that
Congress increase the jurisdic-
ton of Municipal Court from
$4,000 to $4,000 and change
the courts name.
The new name would be the
District of Columbia Court of
General Sessions. In addition,
the courts subpoena powers
would be broadened to include
nearby suburbs.
The proposals, if adopted by
Congress, would upgrade the
Municipal Court considerably
and, hackers believe, free the
District Court here for more
Federal cases.
Under the setup here, the
United States District Court
handles all felony cases and a
large number of civil cases as
well as strictly Federal legal
questions.
Move Is Backed
There has been a move on
for some time to increase the
jurisdiction of Municipal Court.
Last spring the Judicial Con-
ference backed the plan.
At the request of the Judi
clal Conference, Chief Judge
Wilbur K. Miller of the United
States Court of Appeals named
the committee of judges and
lawyers to draft a proposed
bill.
On the committee were Dis
trict Court Judge Alexander
Holtzoff, Chief Municipal Court
Judge John Lewis Smith, jr
Municipal Court of Appeals
Judge Andrew M. Hood, Corpo-
ration Counsel Chester H. GRAY.
lawyer Joseph S. Mccarthy,
lawyer Jacob Gordon and Bar
Association President Edmund
ID. Campbell, who served as
chairman.
The committee outlined its
detailed proposals, and sent a
copy of a proposed bill to Judge
Miller in a letter released to-
day. 1t is expected a bill will
be introduced shortly.
Wider Power Urged
The group proposed that
Municipal Courts subpoena
power, now limited to the Dis
trict, extend 100 miles to be
IN keeping with the recon-
mended increase in the courts
jurisdiction.
The committee also recon-
mended that District Court be
barred from certifying cases
for trial in Municipal Court
until time for a pretrial hear
ing.
At present, cases filed in Dis
trict Court in which the ex-
pected judgment would be with
in the jurisdictional limit of
Municipal Court can be sent
there for trial at any time.
Attached to the committees
letter to Judge Miller was a
message from Judge Holtzoff
noting his objection to the pro-
posed name, the District of
Columbia Court of General
Sessions.
Judge Holtzoff said he
thought this name implied the
reVamped Municipal Court
would have unlimited jurisdic-
ton. He suggested City Court
or Court of Common Pleas.
Mr.. Campbell said that the
Bar Association has not taken
a formal position on the pro-
posed changes. However, he
noted Mr.. Mccarthy and Mr..
Gordon also head affected bar
committees.

England as a prosecution wit
ness in the Forthcoming trial
of the man accused of kidnap-
ing her son.
The 31-year-old mother, now
living in Homerton, London, in
her native land, is expected to

on January 90.
Mr.. TydingS has not dis
closed how many witnesses the
Government will call in its
case against Alvey. However, it
has been estimated the trial
will last one and possibly two
weeks.
Returned to England
Mrs. Condetti returned to
England last June, seven
months after Michael was kid
naped near the family's North
east Washington home and
taken into the Ardmore section
of Prince Georges County, Md,
where his suffocated and sex
ually assaulted body was
found. The other three Con-
detti children, Theresa, IA,
Christopher, 13, and Kathleen,
2, went with her to England.
The children are expected to
remain in London, since the
Government subpoena covers
only the cost of the mothers
transportation to America.
Mrs. Condetti is expected to
testify that Michael left the

HAS PLANS FOR DISTRICT
Watchers Calm Hand
Holds Budget Reins
By JOHN McKELWAY
Star Staff Writer

n CIlln man from Kentucky,
gracious and smooth, quiet on
the floor of the House but talk
ative in private, has moved into
a powerful position in the af-
fairs of the District.
At So, after seven years in
Congress, Representative Will
liam H. hatcher, a Democrat
from Bowling Green, KY, takes
over the Craftsmanship of the
subcommittee of the House Ap-
preparations Committee, which
handles the District Budget.
He succeeds the late Repre-
sentative Louis C. Rabaut, a
free-wheeling Democrat from
Detroit who was both raucous
and sentimental, a colorful and
controversial character whose
main concern, he often said,
was for the poor children of the
city.
AS Mr.. hatcher moves in, the
contrast in the two men will be
apparent to the long line of
District officials who will teS-
tify and try to justify their
spending requests and to citi-
zenS who will ask for more
here and less there.
Patient, Dignified
Mr.. hatcher will be patient
and dignified and, the guess is,
no one will know what he's
thinking.
Working over the years in the
shadow of Mr.. Rabaut, Mr..
hatcher has nevertheless won
the respect of District officials
who know him for persistence
in grinding out details on spend
ing proposals. He is a former
county prosecutor and can dig
deep.
The Congressman, who speaks
in a soft but rapidly moving
draWl, said the other day his
new responsibility requires a
lot of diplomacy"
The position of subcommittee
chairman attracts requests for
favors in the District from a
variety of sources. Mr.. hatcher
does not relish the prospects,
he indicated.
He apparently does not plan
to plunge into the affairs of the
District by inspecting a sewage
treatment plant here or show
ing up for a cocktail party there.
1t appears he will be somewhat
distant to those who have ideas
on influencing the day-to-day
operation of the city.
Main Problems
To Mr.. hatcher, the big three
in problems faced by the city
are welfare, police and schools.
"The District" he said, in
reference to welfare, should
not be turned into a haven for
those who roost on welfare pay
mentS . the floaters."
1t was Mr.. hatcher, acting
in the absence of the then alb
sent Mr.. Rabaut, who, together
with Senator Byrd, Democrat of
West Virginia, authorized a
current investigation of possible
freeloaders on the welfare rolls
of the city.
AS for police, his point is
that the longtime resident or
the tourist should have a right
to walk the city streets without
fear of being yoked or molested.
AS far back as 1858, Mr..
hatcher commented:
Policemen riding around in
cars don't do any good in stop
ping the yokings, assaults, rob-
berries in the alleyways. The
only deterrent to crime on the
streets is to have patrolmen
on the beats where they can
be seem"
On other matters, Mr.. Nat
cher does not buy an immedi-
ate boost in the Federal pay
ment. Last year, his subcom-
mittee increased the payment
from $25 million to $50 mil
lion.

CERTIFIED SEED
A GOOD INVESTMENT

Farmers in the high production
category make it a practice to
purchase certified seed for either
planting their entire acreage, or
for the planting of a limited acre
age on clean ground for their own
seed source. The latter method of
producing ones own seed from a
certified seed source is being used
by more and more farmers. Ger
tainly good seed is a vital part of
high yields and quality produc-
ton.
Below are some of the main
factors to consider in the pur-
chase of seed.
l.. Select a variety which is
highly resistant to disease along
with the capacity for high yield.
2. Be sure the seed has high
vitality to insure good sprouting
and stand. A heavy test weight
adds TO Seeding vigor.
g.. Seed should be properly
treated to cut down loss from dis
ease and to stimulate early
growth.
4. Good seed is free from weed
seeds.
Certified seed contains the
items indicated above and it is
just good seed. 1t is field inspect
ed to assure variety purity, and
fields containing noXious weeds
are eliminated for the production
of certified seed. After the seed is
harvested and is made ready foI
sale, a representative sample is
laboratory tested and must pass
requirements for high termination
and high percent of purity. Ger
tainly it seems wise to at least
use this type of seed for at least
the production of your own seed
stock for open pollinated variet-
les of crops. With hybrid varieties
of crops it is necessary to buy
your seed and here again the
purchase of certified or approved
seed should be given serious con.
sideration.

Highway Patrol
issues Warning
To The Public

The Montana Highway Patrol
announced that a coordinated
action toward enforcement of
motor vehicle registration and
drivers license law would be
made by the Sheriff's office, Sid
ney Police Department and the
Montana Highway Patrol.
Montana registration and
drivers license laws, Highway
Patrol officials said, define a
motor vehicle as any vehicle
which is self-propelled by their
own power. The laws require all
motor vehicles to be registered
and to bear proper license plates.
Operators must have drivers lie
enseS.
Only operators, they said, Is
years of age or older may be Ii
cenSed to operate a motor-driven
vehicle.
This law includes operation Of
Mo-Peds, Motor Scooters and
motor driven bicycles, or any
such propelled by its own power
upon the streets and highways.
Any person, the officers said,
who permits children or wards
under 18 to operate a motor We
lille when such minors do not have
drivers licenses, is subject to
arrest.
Sheriff's Office, Sidney Police
Department and the Montana
Highway Patrol will start immedi-
ately to enforce this law.

TREES
AND SHRUBS

Here are a few suggestions for
homeowners who plan to plant
trees and shrubs this spring. First
select varieties that are known
to do well in the area. Trees or
shrubs that thrive in other elm
attic areas may not survive at all
under northeastern Montana con-
ditionS. Ordering nursery stock
from nearby nurseries has its adj
v~antages. For one thing, home
grown stock is likely TO be more
hardy that that which is shipped
in from milder climatic areas.
Also, the plants will probably
have been dug nearer the time of
delivery. Early ordering is also
advisable. BY waiting too long,
the buyer may find some varieties
Of paintings no longer available
or the best plants may already be
gone. We highly recommend that
some advance planning be done
or the locations of the paintings.
A tree properly located can be a
lifetime of enjoyment. Improper
ly located, it can be an expensive
nuisance.
SPRING CLEANUP A MUST
Cleanup makes good sense for
a lot of reasons. Most important
of all is that it helps make the
lives of you and your family safer
from fire and other accidents.
According to the National Fire
Protection Association, which has
been gathering and analyzing fire
records since 1896, more than half
a million homes in this country
were hit by fire last year. Over
5000 people died in these fires.
OF the total, there were about
$4,000 fires in farm buildings
alone.
Rubbish is one of the top four
causes Of building fires, the Ma
tional Fire Protection Association
records show. Cleanup our homes
and farm buildings and we will
cut the number of dangerous, kill
ing fires as we'll as a multitude of
other accidents caused by accum-
ulated debris. A goal of Spring
Cleanup" is to make every farm
and home in this area safer from
fire and other accidents.
Cooperating in this years spring
cleanup observance will be the
local fire departments service
clubs, All Clubs, farm organiza-
