The spotlight of a White
House reception will fall to-
night on two Medal Of Honor
winners from the Spanish
American War, one decorated
for heroism on the day Teddy
Roosevelt charged up San Juan
Hill.
The two men. the earliest
medal winners among 234, here
for a reception by President
Kennedy, are retired Brig. Gen.
Charles D. Roberts, SO, of Chevy
Chase, Md, and former Navy
1t. Comdr. John Davis, IS, Of
St. Petersburg, Fla.
These men will get special
attention at the outdoor cere-
mony because they won the
Medal of Honor before any of
the others who will step for
ward to shake the Presidents
hand.
The White House announced
that Gen. Roberts, who lives
at 1910 Maple avenue, would
be the only medal holder from
the war with Spain to attend
the reception. But it was
learned later that Comdr. Davis
was another Spanish-Americar
War veteran, and actually
earned his medal before Gen
Roberts.

EpidemicS Rage

Epidemics Rage
Measles epidemics rage
through the slums like forest
fires, killing off the youngest
and most helpless inhabitants.
Two Peace Corps nurses go
from barriada to barriada Civ
ing children doses of polio vac
cine.
The Corps hopes to open a
clinic in the new living quar-
tiers and community center"
which the male volunteers are
building, but this project seems
to symbolic their Illustration.
It's site has already been shift
ed once since their arrival in
December.
Out in the open compound the
crude concrete blocks mixed
on site) seem to be creating a
miniature oleum. 1t

hillside which now serves as a
lonely cemetery and public
latrine.
In theory. the new building
is for demonstration effect. !"
The aim is to show the Peruvi-
ans how they can better their
lot themselves. Plans call for
400 model concrete houses =
financed by a $500,000 United
States loan and built by local
home -owners and Peace Corps
together - to replace the shacks
in the surrounding barriada.
People have no civic pride
here" said Bob Ross, young
civil engineer from Fort Dodge,
Iowa. They have no sense of

money, beer consumption SIM

Seen Running in Circles
Not only are the Peruvian
authorities disorganized in get
ting deeds and building mate
rials for the housing project,
but the Peace Corps volunteers
themselves seem to be running
around In circles.
There's no one with special
lied training and clear senior
ity TO take charge. Their meet
ings break up into undirected
gab-fests. The fact that most
are clearly dedicated and en-
thusiastic about the idea OF
progress only adds to the dis
illusion.
This project certainl ly
should explode some OF the
myths Of the Peace Corps,

State Laws Cited

United States Attorney David
c. AcheSon. who drafted the
measure with the help Of a
committee of experts, declared
that 40 of the so States have
local securities legislation or
blue sky" laws.
Like other witnesses, he cited
the Investors Beware" series
which appeared in The Star in
February. 1862, to illustrate the
very substantial losses that have
been suffered by investors here.
While ideally a blue sky law
would provide complete powers
over all phases of the securities
business, he said. this measure
focuses on broker dealers and
their agents because that is the
area lin which there appears
to be the most immediate need
of protection of the public"

Two Washington Area city
councils last night voted to
support the application Of the
Metropolitan Washington
Council Of Governments for a
Congressional Charter.
The councils of Rockville,
Md, and Falls Church, Va,
approved the charter proposal.
The Rockville Council vote was
unanimous, while the Falls

two members absent.
The opposing vote in Falls
Church was cast by Thomas r.
Jones. who also represents the
council on the Planning Com

In a resolution, the Falls
Church Council said the Coun-
Gil OF Governments should re-
place the charter as soon as
possible by a compact among
the States of Virginia and
Maryland and the Federal
Government that would provide
for a similar body as a perma-
nent body for cooperation
among the various jurisdictions.
The charter, which would

FROM CHURCHILLS sTOGlE
Rolls Claims Fame for Cigar Burns
BY RORERTV.LEAR
Star Staff Writer

The only car owner in the
world who boasts Of cigar
burns on his inlaid walnut
dashboard toured Washington
yesterday.
The car is a 1887 Rolls Royce
Phantom III. once the property
Of Bernard Law, the Viscount
Montgomery of Alamein, and
the burns were repeatedly in
flicted by no less distinguished
a Stogie chewer than Sir Win
ston Churchill.
Present owner of the sleek,
black sedan is Jack Compton.
a mustachioed, 40-year-old
Englishman who gets only about
10 miles to the gallon but
plenty of publicity mileage.
Mr.. Compton brought the
elegant car here from England
last week and stopped over in
Washington en- route back from
the Rolls Royce owners Club
Of America annual meeting in
Williamsburg, where his car
won a best of class" award.
Cost about $4,000
! With him was Joseph Berlin,
a nuclear engineer from Mel
rose Park. near Philadelphia,
whose 1881 Jhantom II Sport
ing Cabriolet DeVille also
topped its class.
The historic Compton car,
which also carried England's
late King George VI on one
occasion, was built on the de-
sign Of Alan Cyril Butler, then
chairman Of Britain's DeHavil-
land Aircraft Corp, at a cost Of
about $4,000.
In 1910, it was loaned to the
British War Office for use by
1.-The commander in-chief Of
the Home Forces.
{ When Field Marshal Sir
Alanbrooke left that command
to become Commander Impe-
rial General Staff, he took the
car with him, and in 1916
Field Marshal the Viscount
! Montgomery fell heir to both
the job and the car.
Z For 16 years, in military and
civilian life, Viscount Monts
gomery maintained the. car.
chauffeured by a Sergt. Will
liam Parker.
Driver Dies
When the sergeant died last
October, Viscount Montgomery,
according to Mr.. Compton, "felt
the loss and did not wish to
carry on the long association
the car had without the driver
who had been behind the wheel
for so many miles"
Accordingly, it was put up
TOR sale and Mr.. Compton pur-
chased it through a dealer,
with the Union Jack that Wis.,
count Montgomery had flown
from the radiator cap still
on 1t.
Mr.. Berlin's Rolls Is a sporty
brown and mustard-yellow,
purchased in England four
years ago.
ut took the aid Of a full
time mechanic, three years and
$4,000 to restore It," he says
proudly.
The restoration was so Law
ishly and painstakingly achiev-
/ ed, however, that the car has a
glossy new look about it.
So much so that one old lady
In Philadelphia, took a long
look, shook her head slowly,
and snorted "Hmmph. What
are they gonna think Of next?"
The Berlins and Mr.. Comp
ton are thinking next Of re-
turning to Philadelphia and
then beginning q leisurely mo-
Tor tour Of the country.

Bar Urges
Full Pauper
transcripts

The District Bar Association
has asked the Supreme Court to
rule that paupers should bt
given free complete trial trans
cripts for use in appealing Fed
eral court criminal convictions.
The association, in q brief
filed yesterday, said the prac-
tice in the United States Court
Of Appeals here Of initially pro-
viding only a partial transcript
raises serious constitutional
questions"
The practice here, the brief
said. is to provide q transcript
containing only testimony and
evidence presented by the Gov
eminent unless counsel Can
show a need for additional por-
tons.
Cites 1852 Decision
This. the association said
denies TO q convicted defen-
dant. by reason Of indigency
alone. the same complete rec
ord Of trial proceedings which
otherwise would automatically
be available"
The brief cited a Supreme
Court decision in a 1862 Dis
trict case in which Chief JUS
tice Warren criticized proce-
dures by which courts "give
piecemeal attention" to effort
Of indigents to appeal.
The association urged the
high court to rule that q full
trial transcript must be pre-
pared automatically" upon the
filing Of notification that a de-
fendant intends to appeal as a
pauper.
Friend Of Court Action
Last spring the Supreme
Court said In a Washington
State case that adequate trial
records, but not necessarily ver-
batim transcripts, must be pro-
vided for appellate court eva
luation Of pauper appeals.
The views Of the association
were presented in a friend-of-
the-court brief filed with the
Supreme Court in. the case OF
Zebedee Hardy. The high court
last spring agreed to hear his
appeal in a narcotics case.
The association said Hardy,
through court-appointed coun-
sci, had asked the Court Of APP
peals here for a transcript Of
portions of his trial not pre-
viously furnished. The request,
it said, was refused.

shortly submit a fiscal 1854 adj
miniStrative budget which while
allowing for needed rises in de-
Tense, space, and fixed interest
charges, holds total expenditures
for all other purposes below this
years level An examination of
the budget does not support this
statement. On the contrary, in
creases are called for in every de-
partment. The President once said
that there was an excessive num-
Der of employees in the Govern
ment offices. Yet we find that he
has added some 100000 civilian
employees to the Federal payroll,
and proposes in the new budget to
add even more. Here are the fig
ures:
New employees proposed:
Department of State, 735; De-
partment of the Treasury, ALAG; De-
partment of Justice, 765; Post Of
flee Department, $3.50; Depart
ment of the Interior, 1899; De-
partment of Agriculture, 5,315; De-
partment of Commerce, 3,497; De-

Education. & Welfare Dept, 5,931;
Presidents Executive Office, 49,:
Federal Aviation Agency, 626; Gen
eral Services Administration, s.
208; ct cetera
Without question. there is fat
that could be cut from the budget.
We ought to cut enough to balance
the budget and pay something on
our debt. We should get our fiscal
affairs on sane and sound basis.
