SAVED BY MOTORLST
Bow Falls Four Stories and Lives

"A 3-year-old boy who tum-
bled four stories from an Ar
lington apartment window is
alive today, probably because
of a good Samaritan who had
lost his way.
Carl D. Creech of 10 Wood
haven court, Fairfax, was
trying to find his way to Ar
lington Hospital yesterday
afternoon when he saw William
Edward Boston clinging to a
window edge of the Cardinal
House at 5000 Spout Run
parkway.
The child suddenly plunged
to a grassy slope four stories
below. He apparently swal-
lowed his tongue and stopped
breathing.
II was lost and just hap
pened to be there when it hap
pened," Mr.. Creech said. I
saw him fall and jumped out
of the car and did what I could
to help him. I saw his tongue
rolled back and put my finger
in there to clear his throat.
He came around right away
and he really chomped down
on me and started yelling"
Juvenile Officer Ernest G.
Light said, II think that if the
man had not had the presence
of mind to go right in there,
the boy would have suffocated."
The hospital today reported
that William seems to be in
excellent condition. He evil
IDENTIFY suffered no broken
bones.
His mother, Mrs. Carmen
Dolores Boston, an exotic
dancer employed at a Wash
ington night club, said that
the child unlocked a screen
and threw some of his toys
out the window while she was
cleaning in an adjoining room.
She thought he may have
craWled out the window in
search of his toys.
When Mr.. Creech started to
resume his search for the hos
pital where he was to undergo
an examination, he couldn't
find his car. He had leaped
from it so quickly that he
neglected to turn off the motor
and the car Travelled some dis
lance down the street before
halting.

A fortress-l like Foggy Bottom
landmark which started out as
a brewery and blossomed into
a home for the Arena Stage
now is about to vanish from
the Washington scene.
Wreckers yesterday started
tearing the roof off the Heurich
Brewery at Twenty-sixth and
D streets NV. The huge block
square structure must be RACED
within 70 days to make way
way for the approaches to the
Theodore Roosevelt Bridge.
The Fayer-Pollock Co. of
Pottstown, Pa, the subcon-
tractor for the $4,000 wreck
ing job, was moving cranes
into position to drop their heavy
wrecking balls, known in the
wrecking trade as headache
pills." on the old structure.
No Dynamite
Marvin Miller of Reading,
Pennsylvania, superintendent
of the wrecking job, said that
he does not plan to try using
dynamite to knock the build
ing down because it has "a lot
of structural steel in it which
wouldn't collapse"
James L. McCallister, Dis
trict administrative services Of
ficer, said that the wrecking

The American Society of Land
scape Architects recently con-
demned the riverside location.
I'VE are firmly convinced
that before the project is
actually built, there will be al
most unanimous opinion that it
should not be placed in the
location that is now proposed, l"
the building congress said.
THE real function and en-
ormously important purpose of
the Cultural Center should be
that of playing its proper role
in the life Of the Nations
Capital" a spokesman ex-
planned.
Problem Cited
"Only by doing this can it
be a truly national cultural
symbol.
I'm he process of seeking to
recreate the central city, we
are becoming aware of the fact
that we must seek a close rela-
tionship between the spaces in
which to live, work, shop, play
and learn.
"These should not be areas
that are carefully segregated
by coming but. on the contrary,
cleverly combined by judicious
planning and the free play of
natural forces so that each
phase of activity helps rather
than Injuries the others"
The Potomac site, the group
said, would "decentralize the
night life of the city" while a
close-in location would bene-
fit downtown as well as the new
residential area to be rebuilt
to the north of it.
"'We believe it is better to
build an effective, useful and
disable center of culture, fully
integrated with the city's night
life, than to build a beautiful
monument in splendid isola-
ton between the river and the
freeway," the building congress
said.

MANY WAKENED
BY BLAST, LAID
TO ANDREWS JET

An explosive sound
aWoke many residents of
the Washington area to-
day, touching off a flood
of inquiries to police, fire
and newspaper switch
boards.
The best guess was that
a fast-moving jet had bro
ken the sound barrier
about $40 am.
A spokesman for An
dreWs Air Force Base, said
the barrier wasn't broken
by any planes based there,
although two F-106 super
sonic jets, assigned to the
95th Fighter - Interceptor
Squadron, were flying over
the area at the time.
The Andrews spokesman
said the two jets were prac-
ticing landings and take
offs and using their after
burners on takeoff.

OH, WELL, let bygones be
bygones.
Improved methods of earth
moving amount to one of the
significant developments of
our time and contractors
have been moving the earth
in the vicinity of this new
highway. One wide bridge
over nothing at all but a cut
into the earth and the sur
rounding woods is puzzling
at first. Then you remem-
Der that this is where the
Capital beltway will go I'M
der Route so.
A winter drive when there
are no leaves on the trees is
the ideal time to see the
many interesting old Mary
land houses along the road
to the beach.
The first is Bel Air, the
William Woodward place, one
of the finest Colonial man
sions of the tidewater coun-
try. A year or so ago you
could not see Bel Air from
the new road. But bulldozers
and pans have been retailor-
ing the area for the Levitt
houses. This affords a view
of the mansion and, unfor-
tunately, of the 500 or more
houses that have already
been built near it.
In England such an estate
would have been entailed. No
heir, or orphans court could
sell it off. But it can happen
here.
We by-passed Annapolis
and noticed the many new
houses on the many water
ways of the Maryland capital.
The water is blue when the
sun is shining. Every house
has it's landing or boat house.
This always did seem an
ideal place to live. Now with
this new road it is only about
As minutes from Washington.
You can be home and out in
your boat before 6.
The drive over the Severn
bridge opened beautiful vistas
up and down river and that
over the Bay Bridge even
more extensive views. There
was a tanker blowing south
from Baltimore as we ap-
preached the suspension
span. We drove right over it.

and it became apparent that
the building was in the path
of the proposed Theodore
Roosevelt bridge approaches,
the brewery operation was
closed down.
"The Old Vat"
Then the Arena Stage moved
into the old structure and for
the next five years it was
known as the "Old Vat"
When the Arena Stage moved
into its new quarters at Sixth
and M streets S.W., last Sep
TENDER, the huge brewery was
left with only it's memories.
Mrs. Zelda Fichandler, the
arenas producing director, re-
called that the brewery was
"a very happy home for us.
We will always feel terribly at
tached to it. 1t housed our
period of greatest growth. The
roof leaked, but it was a
magnificent old building"
Mrs. Fichandler said that her
feelings about moving from the
brewery to the arenas new
modern building could be
summed up by a quotation
from the last play produced at
the "Old Vat" George Bernard
Shaw'S Man and Superman::
There are two tragedies in
life. One is to lose your hearts
desire and the other is to gain
it."

are solicited on the basis that
the presently proposed location
cannot be changed" the group
said.
The cultural center's board
of trustees is readying a Nation
wide closed-circuit telecast to
raise part of $50 million con-
sidered necessary to build the
center here. The program,
scheduled to be presented next
fall, is banking on having Presi-
dent Kennedy as head of an
all-star cast
lO-Acre Tract
The 10-acre site set aside for
the center faces the Potomac
River, north of Constitution
avenue NV. 1t will be just
north of a large highway inter-
change on the District side OF
the Theodore Roosevelt Bridge
and will be almost surrounded
by expressway right-of-way
A downtown site would be
more reflective, useful and US
able" rather than a beautiful
monument in splendid isolation
between the river and the free
way" the building congress
said.
Mentioned as a possible site
was a part of Franklin Square,
between Thirteenth, Four
tenth, I and K streets NV.
,"It could very easily be ex-
changed for the present site"
a spokesman said.
Further Action Expected
The Washington Building
Congress is an influential group
representing all branches of the
construction industry here 1t
is the first Washington group
to speak out against the Gen.
ter's proposed site.
1t is understood the Wash
ington Metropolitan Chapter,
American Institute Of Archi-
tects, also will meet within a
few days to act on the question.

The District Redevelopment
Land Agency heard testimony
today for and against a pro-
posal that a nonprofit corpo-
ration be set up as a consult
ing agency for development of
the Southwest waterfront.
The proposed contract would
provide that Washington Chan
mel Waterfront, Inc, the non
profit group, advise the RIA
on developers and type of de-
velopment that should be
chosen for the waterfront.
In outlining the scope of the
non-profit groups activities
Phil A. Doyle, executive director
of the RIA, said the develop
ment of the waterfront might
be expedited by the aid of such
an organization.
The contract would allow the
new corporation 100000 for the
first year of operation, to be
paid with RIA funds.
Final Decision With RIA
Mr.. Doyle said the groups
activities would not mean "any
avoidance of responsibility,
since the agency (the RLA)
must take all the actions it
would otherwise take, and since
| it must decide which advice to
accept and which to reject in
whole or in part"
Mr.. Doyle also noted that,
should the non-profit corpora
ton agree, it could aid in the
management of the waterfront
after development. The cor
poration could help Gin the So
luton of number of problems
which must be solved if the
public is to realize the full po-
tential of the waterfront" Mr..
Doyle said.
Gordon Gray, president of
the Federal City Council. told
the RIA that Washington
Channel Waterfront, Inc,
would aid in providing a
offending of public and private
interests" in development of
the waterfront.
The Federal City Council was
asked by the RIA to help es-
tablish such a non-profit or
ganization last May.

THE TALL CORN of the

shocks. The fields were Sere.
Most of the chicken houses
we passed, long sheds big
enough to house thousands

less than IL cents a pound.
There are several first
class hotels and motels open
all winter at Ocean City. We
stayed in the Gundry's home
in the Henlopen Woods in
Rehoboth which they call
the winter Inn" Alice and
Jesse Gundry would be lone
some without guests. That's

home when their Corner
Cupboard closes for the sea-
son.
The surf was booming
when we arrived. We could
hear it every time we woke
during the night. 1t was
booming when we walked
along the shore Sunday.
New Workers go to a great
deal of inconvenience to visit
Atlantic City during the win
ter - to stroll along the

Why can't our ocean

ton, have a winter season as
we'll?

Opposition Approves
Strong opposition to the pro-
posed consultant group came
from Harry A. Barbour, of 1925
Deal drive NV, who objected
to the need for such a corpora
ton. Mr.. Barbour said the RIA
is suited to do the entire job of
Southwest redevelopment and
has not needed the help of any
non-profit consultants in the
past.
Mr.. Barbour said the con-
sultant group will act as the
developer and questioned
whether the RIA can legally
delegate its authority to the
non-profit organization.

Legislators Table
Equal Service Bills
Rights Issue
Hits Snog in
Maryland

ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP).-The
House Judiciary Committee
tabled today two bills to require
equal service for Negroes In
Maryland restaurants and
hotels.
The action kills the bills for
this 30-day session as far as
the committee is concerned, but
they can be petitioned to the
floor by any Is delegates for
action by the full house. Such
a move is expected.
The vote to table the bills
was by voice after the commit
tee had voted 19 to 7 to exempt
seven Eastern Shore counties.
This had the effect of making
the bills unconstitutional, since
only Statewide legislation is
qualified at a short session of
the General Assembly.
Gov. Tawes has said that he
will call a special session of
the legislature after the regular
session to enact a public accom-
modations law which might be
applicable to just part of the
State.
Counties taken OCT of the
bill on motions included Kent,
Worcester, Caroline. Dorchester,
Queen Annes, Talbot and Wi
comico.
First Actual Test
Delegates Hervey Machen and
Lansdale G. Sasscer. jr., Demo-
Gratis of Prince Georges, voted
with five Baltimore City dele
gates against the move to make
the bill unconstitutional. Dele
gate William j. Walsh, Demo-
crat of Allegany, said he was
in favor of the bill but would
vote to let counties exempt
themselves.
This was the first actual test
for the measures at this session.
Both bills would have made
, it illegal to refuse to serve Ne
groes. The only difference is in
the enforcement provisions.
The committee action was
taken just a day before a
mass demonstration is slated
on the State House steps by
the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored
:. People. The NAACP said 1t
: would have representatives in
I: Annapolis from Baltimore and
:, 81 counties to drum up sup
port for the anti-discrimina-
ton legislation.
May Hurt Chances
However, some supporters Of
the legislation said the demon
stration may hurt more than
it helps.
The House of Delegates yes
terday turned down bill which
would have granted pension
to former Governors. The bill
drew only Sc favorable votes but
needed 81 to pass. F'orty-nine
voted against it. There was no
debate, but apparently some
legislators felt that former Gov
ernors can take care of them
selves.

The
rambler
-. Obeys
That Impulse
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

For those who want to get
away from it all-and who
doesn't once in a while?-
there is nothing like a WIN
ter visit to a summer resort.
Obey that impulse was the
slogan of the old Life maya
zine when it was owned and
illustrated by Charles Dana
Gibson.
On Saturday, the Rambler
despite the threat of snow,
obeyed that impulse and took
off for Rehoboth.
For one thing it occurred
to him that he had never
used the new John Hanson
highway, Route SO East, the
magic carpet to the beaches,
since it was completed in No
vember.
Rehoboth is the Atlantic
beach nearest Washington.
We clicked it at 1875 miles
and made in 2 hours and As
minutes.
You start out the Balti-
more expresSway and bear to
the right just past the Dis
trict Line.
The first four miles of the
road was a difficult bit of
engineering going under and
over railroad tracks and over
and under other roads. But
there is no reason it should
have taken 4 years to COM
plete.
