New York Police
Arrest Suspect
In D. c. Staying

A Washington man wanted
for questioning in connection
with the death of his wife, was
arrested in New York yesterday
a short time after he had ar
rived by plane from Washing
ton.
The suspect was identified
as Clinton Singletary, %. His
wife, Annie May Singletary,
81, was found dying in their
home at sos Morton place NE.
early yesterday.
Washington police said Sin
gletary was suspected of beat
ing her to death. They said
they had a warrant for his
arrest for escape from a North
Carolina road gang five years
ago. He had been serving a
13-year sentence for man
slaughter, they said.
The suspects arrest was the
result of close cooperation be-
tween District, Newark, N. j.,
and New York police. Wash
Iington homicide officers learned
that a man answering Single
tary's description had taken a
plane to Newark. They alerted
Newark officers, who found a
cab driver who had taken
Singletary to a New York
address.
New York police traced him
to a second address and then
arrested him while he was en-
route by cab to still a third
address.
Homicide Detective Harry A..
Pixton flew to New York with
a municipal court warrant to
arrange Singletary's return to
the District to face homicide
charges.

Secretary Mcnamara took the
occasion to explain the philos-

he said, a philosophy cleaned
from the experience of our

Mr.. Mcnamara defined the

D. Transit Men
To Coach MuniIu
On Bus Problem

Old jeeps never die-at Least
not in Manila.
That is why five executives
of D. C. Transit System, Inc.
were to leave Washington to-
day for Manila, to take part in
a State Department project to
diagnose that city's transporta-
ton problems.
1t seems that Manila, popula-
ton 2,033,420, has no public
transportation system. 1t does
have $4,000 jeeps left over from
World War II that function as
"jitneys."
The enterprising Filipinos
have built extra long beds for
the rear of the jeeps, and ex-
banded them to hold several
passengers.
II understand it's murder in
the rush hour" Morris Fox,
first vice president of D. C.
Transit, said.
Mr.. Fox and the other execu-
tiyes are under contract to the
Agency for International De-
velopment. They will make
recommendations for a Manila
bus system that will include
routings and number Of buses
needed.
The project is expected to
take two or three months.

The
Rambler
!. ToIks
To d Troll
BY JOHN McKELwAY

A 52-year-old troll of no
fixed address, but one who
often slept in the joaquin
Miller cabin in Rock Greek
P ark, whispered several
months ago that a lepre-
chaun had attained high
position in Washington.
The troll, who asked that
his name not be used but
wanted his age in the paper,
refused to identify the in
divtdual he referred to.
Shortly, he slipped off to
eat his lunch under a bridge
constructed in the feverish
Mission Sc program staged
by the National Park Service.
He was never seen again.
The Rambler dismissed the
rumor as nothing more than
troll talk.
This is not to say the
trolls remarks were com
pletely forgotten.
1t was somewhat disturb
Ing, actually, to suddenly
think of leprechauns when

AND THE SAME thing
would happen if The Ram
bier passed, underground on
The Hill, Representatives
o'Neill of Massachusetts,, or
Rooney of New York, or Lane
of Massachusetts,, or even,
fra n ky, Speaker McCor-
mack. ~
1t was ridiculous to specu-
late further. The American
electorate, even in an off
year election would simply
refuse to send a leprechaun
to Congress.
And yet?
One night, in the closing
days of the last session, The
Rambler noticed a handsome
policeman just inside the
door which revolves into the
street floor of the House sec
ton of the Capitol.
After inquiry, he learned
that the officers name was
Charles Joseph Aloysius Sui
Ivan, chief of the Capitol
Police Force, and command
ing officer of some ZIG uni
formed officers, two detec-
tive captains and five plain
clothesmen, most of whom
are named to the force by
435 Representatives and 100
Senators.
Further inquiry disclosed
that the man was actually a
Deputy Chief of the Wash
ington Metropolitan Police
Force assigned to the Capt.
toll.
The Rambler watched him.
His hat was worn at a rak-
ish angle. He had a nice
word for every Congressman
that passed, even obscure
secretaries and administra-
tive assistants.
The Rambler asked him,
"How'S it going Chief?"
MY travail" he said, in a..
rolling, lifting way, sis I'M
duly harsh"
els your lot not a happy
one?" asked The Rambler,
barely managing to get out
the question.
"a policeman needs more
than a Mona Lisa smile and
a simpering interest in the
footing of a horn" the Chief
answered, before going off
into a high-pitched laugh
ing spell.

From Many Communities
The participants came from
virtually every community in

1t. George E. Clements, chief
of the county's police vice
squad, described the party as a
virtual drinking orgy"
He said police found the floor
Uttered with beer cans, empty
half-pint whiskey bottles and
paper cups. The jewellers had
consumed "a keg of beer and
two cases of beer within an
hour" and a truck was on its
way to pick up another keg
when police arrived, 1t. Glenn

1t. Clements said he led a
25-man raiding party of uni
formed policemen and detec-
tives after police got an anony-
nous tip about the party, held
at what once was the old Fairy
Springs School but now is
known as The Pines.
Spotted by One Youth
The raiders went there about
1890 pm. and had intended
waiting until a larger force was
assembled. But. 1t. Clements
said, a youth in a car spotted
them and headed back toward
the dance. He said police de-
cided to go in right away after
seeing several couples leaving.
Music for the party was pro-
vided by a tape recorder, the
vice squad chief said.
Held as the principal arranger
was Peter Albert Boggs, "a, of

with contributing to the delin-

Rezoning Due
ForHeurinq

About so proposals to rezone
property west of the jefferson
Davis highway in Alexandria
will be considered by the City
Planning Commission at a
preliminary public hearing
Wednesday.
The changes would be part
of an extensive revision of the
city's 1854 master coming map
in line with the new General
lied Land Use Plan.
The commission previously
held a hearing on suggested
rezonings in the area east of
the Richmond, Fredericksburg
and Potomac Railroad tracks
and south of Cameron street.
Afterwards. the commission
tentatively agreed on a number
OF zone changes along lower
King street, near the jefferson
School and in other areas.
Public Hearing
On January 80, the COM
mission will hold a final public
hearing covering all tentatively
recommended changes in the
city. The final recommends
tions are likely to prompt a
large turnout of dissatisfied
property owners at a city
Council public hearing Feb
ruary 10.
The heaviest concentration
OF possible rezonings to be
considered Wednesday lies in
the relatively undeveloped
southwestern portion of the
city. The Planning Depart
ment has suggested rezonings
for commercial use of 1874 acres
of industrial and residential
property.
The site is roughly bounded
by Stevenson avenue, Lincolnia
road, Edsall road, Back Lick
Run and the western city
limits. According to the Plan
ming Department. commercial
use would protect residential
development to the north and
would be more compatible than
industrial use.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1962-11-12
Apartment Layout

Also under consideration is
a series of recommendations to
limit future commercial use of
upper King street from the
western city line through the
4400 block.
The construction of apart
ments on these blocks would
conform with the adjacent
Larchmont Gardens project
and other apartments and
would provide a market for ex-
listing stores to the northwest,
according to the Planning De-
partment.
In another major proposal,
the commission will review
the feasibility of rezoning for
apartments the north side of
Duke street from Telegraph
road to Rutgers place. most Of
which is now zoned for COM
mercial or residential CONNER
cial use.
The change would discour-
age string" commercial devel-
opment and would permit pri-
vate renewal where a number
Of blighted homes exist.
Along with less extensive
proposals from the Planning
Department, the commission
will hear II requests from
property owners for individual
rezonings.
