UNION STATION SITE?
Huqe D. c. Visitor Center Urged
BY ROBERTA HORNIG
Star staff Writer

A massive, federally operated
visitor center, to utilize Union
Station or be built on q site
near the station was urged
today by Downtown Progress,
Inc.
The National Visitor and Stu
dent Center, costing between
$25 and $32 million, was rec
commended by a New York con-
sulting firm for the business
mems group. 1t would require
congressional legislation.
The second site proposed for
the center, which would help
visitors get situated and
acquaint them with Washing
toms historic buildings, is near
Massachusetts, and New Jersey
avenues NV.
But Union Station, although
requiring extensive remodeling
and more costly, Is the favored
site.

tinue and q small portion" Of
the station, one Of the largest

A visitors center is needed,

Toy-Gun Bandit
Seized Swiftly
D Women at Bunk
Aids Capture

A holdup man with a toy
gun was seized and $3.724 was
recovered by fast-moving police
today just a few minutes after
the robbery Of the Park road
branch of Riggs National Bank.
The capture was aided by
a bank teller, Mrs. Sarita
Ettenson of 1888 Freyman
drive, Chevy Chase, who fol-
lowed the bandit into the
street, although she lost her
shoes in the pursuit.
The man was identified by
the FBI, through fingerprints,
as Robert Carlton Hill, 25.
When first apprehended, he
gave a different name. He was
charged with robbery, police
said.
Witnesses to the mid-morn-
ing robbery gave this story:
A man entered the bank at
Fourteenth street and Park
road NV. at 10:17 am. and
went to Mrs. EttenSon's teller
station.
He brandished a pistol and
handed Mrs. EttenSon a note
telling her to give him her
money. She gave him the mon
ey in the till and the bandit
walked out.
Mrs. Ettenson rang the bank
alarm and then followed him
into the street. Somehow, in
the excitement, Mrs. Ettenson
lost her shoes.

White Leader
Quits Post in
Cambridge
Drops Bid to Bar
New Ruciul Law;
Negroes Hail Pact
BY PAUL HOPE
star Staff Writer

A drive to upset an anti
discrimination law in Cam
bridge took an unexpected
turn today when the head of
recently organized white
businessmen's group resigned.
Meanwhile, an agreement be-
tween Negro leaders and white
city and State officials to end
racial strife in Cambridge
received strong Endorsement
from the Negro community.
The anti-discrimination law is
key provision of the peace pact.
Levi B. Phillips jr., chairman
of the Dorchester County BUSH
ness and Citizens Association,
resigned from the group which
was organized last Wednesday
to fight a city charter amend
ment which would bar racial
discrimination in places of
public accommodation.
His resignation indicated that
white city officials who reached
agreement with Negro demon
tration leaders are applying
pressure to forestall a petition
movement to force q vote on
the city charter amendment.
Petition Exposed
In the agreement signed yes
terday by Negro leaders and
white officials, and announced
at the Justice Department in
Washington, the Cambridge
mayor and city council said it
would not be in the best in
terests of the city for the
petition to be filed.
It had been expected that
city and State officials would
use pressure on the leaders of
the petition movement not to
file. The deadline for filing is
August 10. If it isn't filed, the
anti-discriminaticn law, which
has been approved by the city
council, will go into effect
August 20.
Just last night, after an
nouncement of the agreement
by Attorney General Robert
Kennedy, Mr.. Phillips said his
organization planned to go
ahead with its opposition to
the charter amendment. He
said the organization, which
he claimed has 500 members,
felt the proposed amendment
would deny an individuals
property right by forcing him
to serve persons he doesn't
want to.
Notes Public Interest
He said today that after due
consideration he could not sup
port the action of the organi-
cation he heads.
st consider my action to be
In the public interest in view
of current developments" he
said.
About TAO signatures are
needed to force a vote on the
charter amendment.
Besides the pressure from
city officials, it is reported that
many moderates among the
business community also are
exerting their influence against
the referendum drive.
Business has suffered badly
in Cambridge since the Negro
demonstrations began last May.
It is expected that many busi-
nessmen will support the de-
segregation amendment in or
der to end the strife.

At the north end of town is the Manokin

Oldest of its denomination in the country. The
present church was built in 1765, but there is

Until storms in the l95Os, Princess Anne
had Maryland's largest English lockwood, 10
