Fishermun's
Body Is Found

An Alexandria man fell out
of a boat from which he and
a friend we're fishing last night
and drowned in the Wicomico
River at Bushwood, Md, &C
cording to Maryland State Po-
lice.
Police identified the victim
as Jesse L. Lewis, about 40. of
1909 Quaker lane. He was a
cement finisher for the Brad
dock Construction Co., Fairfax,
Va.
Mr.. Lewis and Clyde Perry,
who also works for the Brad
dock Co.. had rented a boat
from Quade's Store, police said.
The victim fell overheard while
trying to pull up the anchor,
they theorized.
A search for Mr.. Lewis was
abandoned late last night in
a heavy fog. The body was re-
covered this morning by a
Tidewater Fisheries patrol
boat.

and a hotel he proposes to
build on L'Enfant Plaza.
Explaining RLA's decision to
support the General Services
Administrators plans for the
building, Phil A. Doyle, RIA
executive director. said today:
1.-THE agency decided that If
the Federal Government wants
to go ahead with this program,
RIA doesn't wish to stand in
the way, especially since the
design is generally regarded to
be meritorious and attractive,
which is a view shared by RIA"
RLA's role in the controversy
was a key one, owing to little
known early agreements and
commitments the agency made
with the New Yorker, by which
he was given first refusal rights
to lease a large part of the
Southwest redevelopment area
and a hand in developing the
urban-renewal plan.
The buildings bridging of
Tenth street will require a
technical change in the urban
renewal plan, which RIA said
it will request the National
Capital Planning Commission
and District government to ap-
prove Eat the appropriate time"
A GSA spokesman said the
agency hopes design of the
building can be completed
within year and that con-
struction can begin in the fall
of 1868.

Brothers Lose Appeal,
Death Sentence Upheld

ANNAPOLIS, July 10 (AP).-
The Maryland Court Of Appeals
yesterday upheld the conviction
of James v. and John G. Giles,
Montgomery County brothers
sentenced to die in the gas
chamber for the rape of a To-
year-old girl.
In doing so, the high court
reaffirmed the validity of a
provision of the State Consti-
tuition which allows a jury in
a criminal case to determine
how the law should be applied
to that case as well as trying
facts.
Maryland and Indiana are
the only States which still ad-
here to the concept that a jury
shall be the judge of the law
as well as the facts in a GRIM
inal case. And Indiana has
modified its concept that a jury
has exclusive determination of
the law.
Attorneys for the Giles broth

Mr.. Brown charged that the
school board has been less con-
cerned with Negro schools than
with white schools and that
the majority of the Parker
Gray teachers are graduates Of
subStandard, segregated col
legeS.
He said the last list Of re-
cipientS of State tuition grants
included six Negro families
who sent their children to
Washington schools because
Alexandria's are downright
subStandard."
Assistant Supt. Raymond
Sanger replied that most of
the Parker-Gray teachers re-
ceived their degrees from North
ern colleges.
Mrs. Taylor asked that, for
the benefit of children who
will not enter college, several
subjects be added to the Parker

Mrs. Taylor said that a num-

Supt. T. c. williams replied
that Parker-Gray has the high

ton Of any school in the city,
as well as the lowest percentage

Now RIA has quietly veered

j. Donald Clagett, a Demo-
cratic precinct chairman in
Montgomery County for 10
years, resigned yesterday in
protest over House of Delegates
appointments.
At issue was the appointment
by the State Central Commit
tee of four nominees for new
House seats created by reap
portionment. Mr.. Clagett was
not appointed although he
came within 81 votes of cap
turing one Of the six regular
House nominations in the May
primary.
THE Knockout blow came, 7"
Mr.. Clagett said, when 1
learned that two of those select
ed by the committee received
fewer votes than I did in the
primary"
Mr.. Clagett, a Silver Spring
builder, ran in the primary on
a ticket headed by Blair Lee
III. But the majority of party
nominations and the control of
the party's apparatus is now
in the hands of an opposing
faction led by State Senator
Margaret C. Schweinhaut.
Appointed candidates for the
four new seats include Mrs.
MART Thorson and Samuel B.
Sterrett, both unsuccessful can
didates for the six regular seats.
In the primary, Mr.. Clagett
placed seventh, Mrs. Thorson,
eighth and Mr.. Sterrett, tenth.
Mr.. 'Clagett. who has been
active in county Democratic af-
fairs for many years, declined
to say whether he would &C
lively oppose party candidates
in the fall.

What we're really selling is
a way of living" said a tired
and happy real estate devel-
oper yesterday outside the
county supervisors board room
in Fairfax.
The developer. 48-year-old
Robert D. Simon. jr., had just
sold the board on that way Of
living - residential planned
communities.
BY a 7-to-0 vote the board
approved amendments to the
county statutes creating a new
zone called "RPC" to allow
planned satellite developments.
Mr.. Simon plans to build the
first one-a 6,750-acre COM
munity called Reston-in the
western part Of the county.
Reston eventually will have
rs, 900 persons, according to his
plan.
The RPC zone is a new con-
cept in the county's coming
plans. Although the county
will keep control over devel-
opment of planned communi-
ties, the customary setback
and lot-size restrictions will
not apply.
Controlled Density
Instead, the average density
per acre in the entire develop
ment will be controlled. The
decision on type and placex
ment of dwelling units is left
up to the developer.
The county will keep control
of how the areas are developed
by requiring approval of site
plans of at least 100 acres at
a time.
No RPC development small
er than $50 acres is allowed,
and the applicants will be re-
quired to present their pre-

Vigorous opposition was ex-
pressed yesterday to a request
by the Kuwait government for

fishing a chancery at 2535 Mas

board took the case under ad-
visement.
@. M. Koockogey, president
Of the Kalorama Citizens AS

legislation has been introduced
in Congress to keep chanceries
out Of residential areas in
Washington.
He suggested that the board
defer action on the Kuwait
case until Congress has acted
on this legislation.
Sponsors of the bill are Sena-
tor Fulbright of Arkansas and
Senator Monroney Of Okla
homa, both Democrats. The
measure was introduced follow
ing an increasing number of
citizen complaints over the To-
cation in residential areas of
offices for new nations.
Joseph w. Wyatt, attorney

told the board that the build
ing which would be used as
a chancery is now occupied by

He explained that the pop
