In the pamphlet, the Re-

clouded with deceit.
In a section on the YMCA

Stock Transfer
That BYpassed
RLAkUpheId
Consent Unneeded
In Building Deal,
Director Agrees
By ROBERT J. LEWIS
star staff Writer

Consent OF the RedeVelop-
ment Land Agency to certain
transfers Of stock in the cor
poration developing the Har-
bour Square apartment prof.
ect was not required, Phil A.
Doyle, RIA executive director
has announced.
Mr.. Doyle said yesterday he
had received a letter from VIII
liam E. Shannon, president of
the Harbour Square corpora
ton, in reply to a letter from
RIA requesting information
regarding stock transfers.
Mr.. Doyle said RIA sent the
letter to get the information
after testimony before a House
District subcommittee indicated
10 per cent Of the stock had
been transferred each to Miss
Marie c. Edwards, a secretary
with the Shannon & Luchs
real estate firm. and James F.
Salkeld. a salesman with that
firm.
NOn-VOting Stock
Mr.. Shannon said in his
reply that his firm had con-
suited its attorney and that it
was his opinion that the agen-
cy's consent was not required
prior to the stock transfers,
Mr.. Doyle said. The stock in
volved was o fnon-voting type,
Mr.. Shannon's letter explained.
Mr.. Doyle said his agency
agreed with the firms position
that RIA consent to the stock
transfers was not required.
Earlier this week, the RIA
official said that If a stock
transfer had been made (which
does not affect the controlling
interest in the corporation,
they are not in violation of the
contract"
The contract he referred to
was one entered into by RIA
under which the land was sold
to the corporation as the site
of a 427-unit cooperative
apartment building in the
Southwest Washington urban
renewal area.
The luxury project has not
yet been started. Its site over
looks the Washington Channel
waterfront south of M street
S.w.
Contract Examined
An examination Of the con-
/ tract. Mr.. Doyle said, showed
it provided that the corpora
ton making the land purchase
shall not "effect any change in
the ownership or distribution
Of the stock which changes the
identity of the parties in con-
troll" of the corporation.
Testimony last week before
the House District Subcommit-
tee indicated Builder John Nc
Shain owns so per cent of the
stock, and that Mr.. Shannon,
Frank j. Luchs, Mr.. Salkeld
and Miss Edwards own 10 per
cent each. All stock not owned
by Mr.. McShain has been put
in escrow for him, testimony
indicated.
Question arose as to the
transfer Of the stock without
prior notification of the
agency. and the receipt Of its
consent, owing to provisions of
some RIA contracts in re-
newal areas that when as
much as 10 per cent of stock is
transferred the agency's con-
sent is needed.
The Harbour Square contract
does not contain such a pro-
vision, but only the require
ment that q change in control
of the corporation be not af-
| fected without RLA's consent.

It was fine day, a big day! An important
reception was held. The date was March %
1863. The place: several thousand miles from
Montgomery County in Ougadougan, Upper
Volta, West Africa. Dignitaries, the official
brass of the country were there these
and three scientists of the NH Division OF
Biologcs Standards DR.. Harry Meyer Jr., DR..
Donald E. Hostetler and Mrs. Barbara
Bernheim.
Maybe you haven't heard their names.
But in the far-off Upper Volta country, the
people know them well. They know, too, that
because of them and the work they did during
a six months stay, many thousands Of chill
dren who might have died of measles have
new lease on life.
In the United States only one death occurs
in 10000 measles cases, but in some other
parts of the world, in the Upper Volta,
measles kills 25 to so percent Of children dur
ing the first few years of life
At the reception held the day before the
three.member Bologics Standards team re-
turned to home base in Bethesda, the Upper
Volta Minister of Health, Dr. Paul Lambin,
made simple but telling statement
On behalf Of his country he thanked all
personnel Of NH and the State Departments
Agency for international Development He
asked that his appreciation be transmitted TO
President Kennedy, Congress, and all the
American people.
He said, my thanks, those Of my min
istry, those of all mothers and all Voltan

freed from the grip of measles, this serious,

properly identified and neat
enough In appearance to be
worthy of you," he added.
The official said "unsightly
appearance of a large number
