plotting?
Powers: No. On this mission
I can't be sure that these two
planes that I did see or the
condensation trails that I did
see, I can't be sure that they
were looking for me, but it
seemed odd they would first
parallel my course exactly in
the opposite direction and then
a few minutes later parallel my
course in the same direction ]
was heading. I assume that
they were looking for me but
they made no turn to try to
intercept or anything. :.
Russell: Mr.. Powers, were
you close enough to this other
parachute to tell whether 1t
was occupied by a man OF
whether it just had some OBJ
ject in it?
Powers: No. It was very high
I don't know how high. I could
not see what it was.
I thought at the time that
well, there were a lot of
thoughts running through my
mind, and I thought at the
time that maybe this explosion
was caused by a rocket, and,
If so, maybe this parachute was
used to recover, say, the first
stage or something. Actually,
have no idea what was in the
parachute, but am sure it was
a parachute, very similar to
mine. 1t was a different color.
I think it had red and white
markings.
No Suicide Obligation
Russell: I wish you would
clear up the matter of the
needle, Mr.. Powers. Were you
under any obligation to destroy
yourself if you were captured?
Powers: Oh, no. I don't re-
member exactly who gave me
the needle that morning, but
they told me, you can take it
if you want to-" They said, IF
something does happen you
may be tortured, maybe you
could conceal this on your per-
son in some way, and if you
see that you cannot withstand
the torture, you might want to
use it,"
And that is the reason I took
the needle. But I could have
left it. I wasn't told to. take it.
Russell-Did they threaten
you at any time when they
were examining you?
POwerS-There were no def
mite threats, but they didn't
let me forget that this crime
was punishable by death, and
they wouldn't let me forget
that.

Three earlier convictions,

Jorge Luis Borges, who is
blind but still a leading Argen-
tine author, plans to counter
act what he terms the Islander"
against the United States which
exists in Latin America.
Calling the United States a
very great country" and the
hope of mankind" Mr.. Borges
said yesterday that when he
returns to his homeland in
about 10 days he is going to
tell what he has seen during
his five months of lecturing
and touring in this country.
He has found good will, gen.
crosby, curiosity about things
happening abroad and COM
plete freedom of criticism,
among other things, Mr.. Borges
said at a press conference in
the Argentine Embassy.
The winner of the Interna-
tional Publishers Prize with
Samuel Beckett in 1861 said
that Communists are very
clever, because they never
speak about communism but
rather of American imperial
ISM" Nevertheless, he said, he
does not know of a single Com
munist working man or writer
who would say he is a Com
munist in his country. Com
munism has had an appeal for
certain intellectuals. he said.
Mr.. Borges is in Washington
this week for several lectures,
receptions and talks with Gov

eminent officials, literary
figures and educators. In spite
of his handicap which began
to afflict him in 1858, he works
by dictation, teaches at the
University of Buenos Aires and
is director of the National Lii
brary in Buenos Aires.
Mr.. Borges considers William
Faulkner the greatest living
writer and says that to date
Latin America has produced no
World-famous authors or any
who have had an influence out
side the Spanish language.
If he had to name one thing
that he admired in Faulkner's
work, he said. it would be his
"keenest sense of human
tragedy" Unlike other writer's,
he said, what is tragic in
Faulkner's writing comes out
of the authors feeling that
life is something essentially
hopeless, haphazard." Faux
ner is not like some GlnamedD
hard-boiled writer's who put in
things to "horrify, amuse or
astounded" the reader.
One reason for the lack of
great authors in Latin America
may be the wars and dictator
ships which the countries have
undergone, Mr.. Borges said.
Until recently, he said. Latin
American writer's were more in
tereSted in Shocking" and
"quarreling with each other"
Now, he said, our people have
remembered the forgotten man
the reader"

The County School Board
last week offered to start a
pilot shelter project in two
schools, emphasizing, however,
that pupils should not be forced
into underground classrooms
and that the shelter program
is primarily a county respon-
sibility.
Council member Stella B.
Werner asked whether fallout
protection would be adequate
in an area so near a prime
target.
Mr.. Henry replied that trying
to pinpoint what an enemy
might consider a prime target
is futile. These targets would
vary, he said, according to a
number of possible attack
plans.

killing him. Then, Stewart
scooped up $416 from a cash
register and left. The killing
was witnessed by the grocer's
wife and daughter.
Mr.. Hartman said the pop
bottle and a potato chip bag
bore Stewards fingerprints. He
said police later recovered the
pistol after talking to Stewards
brother-in-laW.
Defense Lawyer Charles B.
Murray, head of the Districts
Legal Aid Agency, told the jury
of five men and seven women
that the defendant admitted
the basic facts outlined by the
prosecution. Mr.. Murray said
Stewart would rely upon an
insanity defense in seeking to
avoid the death penalty for
what the defense lawyer agreed
had been brutal murder. "
Mr.. Murray, saying that the
jury could not help but be
to some extent Mortified by
these facts" said he would
raise a reasonable doubt as to
Stewards sanity at the time
of the offense.
The jury's choice is between
verdicts of guilty of felony
murder, which carries a man
datory death sentence, not
guilty or not guilty because of
insanity.

Northern Virginia Delegates Push
Their Fight for Reopportionment

After the original Senate re-
apportionment bill was aired
at the hearing and referred to
a subcommittee, a bill was in
troduced to maintain the pres
ent Senate setup. The chief
sponsor was Senator j. Hubert
Wheeler of Lee County who
would lose his seat under the
original bill.
And Fairfax Delegate John c..
Webb introduced a bill making
drastic revisions in all the con-
gressional districts which would,
for the first time, split a county
his own county of Fairfax
into two congressional districts.
Mr.. Webb said his objective
was to make each congressional
district in the State equal in
population, as nearly as pos
sible, and still retain compact
ness and contiguity. No re-
arrangement of congressional
districts had been proposed
by the State Redistricting Com
mission which recommended re-
alignment of the Legislature.
He would split the present
10th district in this manner:
That part of Fairfax County
made up of the Dranesville.
Providence, Falls Church and
Centreville magisterial districts
would be thrown into a pro-
posed new 7th district which
also would include the cities
of Fairfax, Falls Church and
Winchester and the counties
of Clarke, Frederick, Shenan-
doah, Warren, Arlington and
Loudoun.
That portion of Fairfax made
up of Mason, Lee and Mount

include the cities of Alexandria

RICHMOND, Feb. 90
Northern Virginia continued it's
uphill battle today to win more
representation in the General
Assembly on the basis of popu-
lation gains reflected in the
last Federal census.
A committee of the House of
Delegates held a public hear
ing on apportioning seats in
that body as a similar group in
the State Senate put the ques-
ton of realigning representa-
ton there in the hands of a
subcommittee.
Delegate LaWrance Hoover of
Harrisonburg, chairman of a
legislative commission that rec
commended the changes, told
the House committee today,
There is a job to be done, Let's
do it,"
The legislature will be shirk-
ing its responsibility if it fails
to act before adjournment on
April 10. he added.

Lakewood Members
Get Control
Of Leases
BY PHIL THOMAS
Star Staff Writer

An almost year-long court
battle between members of the
Lakewood Country Club and
the three promoters who start
ed the Montgomery County
Club ended with a settlement
of the dispute in District Court
yesterday.
Under the terms of the set
Element worked out by lawyers
in the case and with the ap-
proval of Judge George L. Hart,
the m m b yer hip has been
handed ownership of land
leases formerly controlled by
the promoters, Troy V. Post,
jr.; Bill Allen and Leroy w.
Pickett.
About 165 acres of the club
land near Rockville was leased
by Glen Hill Club Estates to
a corporation controlled by the
promoters. The settlement
agreement also provides that
the club will take over owner
ship of another 1872 acres.
Intervention Allowed
The membership through
Lakewood Country Club. Inc,
was awarded a $65,500 judg-
ment against Golf Contractors,
Inc, a Texas corporation con-
trolled by the three founders.
Judge Hart had allowed an
Arlington investor, Col. War
rem Lockhart of 1880 Columbia
pike, to intervene in the case
after he had filed papers
claiming that he bought control
for the corporations involved
last March for $77,500.
Under the terms of the set
Element approved yesterday
Col. Lockhart was given a
judgment of about $4,000
against Golf Contractors.
In return for the founders
giving up an investment of
about 100000 in the club and
various controlling corpor-
ations, the membership agreed
to dismissal of their damage
claims against Post, Allen and
Pickett.
The membership filed suit
last March against the three
promoters, seeking an account
ing of many thousands of dol
lars that had been spent in de-
velopment of the country club
since its creation in July, 1859.
Receiver in Charge
Despite the settlement, how
ever, Judge Hart will retain
jurisdiction over the club
through a court appointed re-
ceiver, Vinton Lee, who was put
in charge of the clubs financial
operations several months ago.
Mr.. Lee, under the terms of
the agreement, will continue
work on reorganization of the
club in an effort to keep it OPP
Grating and to pay off debts
that were piled up while the
three promoters were in charge
of the club operations.
