OWN LAWYER
Appeal Ends
In Sitter
Sentence
BY KENNETH CAMPBELL
Star Staff Writer


James L. Waite, 81, thought
he got a bum deal when Ar
lington County Court Judge
Berton v. Cramer sentenced
him last July to 80 days in
jail on a gambling charge. So
he decided to appeal the case
and act as his own lawyer.
Yesterday was his day in
Arlington Circuit Court, and
a jury of five men and women
found him not guilty on the
original charge.
But they sentenced him to
IL months in jail (12 times
his previous sentence) and i'm
posed a $500 fine on a charge
which the Commonwealth de-
scribed as a lesser count of
the original charge.
Mr.. Waite's troubles began
Of July 81, when police said
they raided a beer party at his
home in the 1000 block of
North Glebe road, Arlington.
Police said he was charging
$3.50 admission.
In the earlier trial, police
said they found a gambling
table, crooked dice and men
stuffing money into their
pockets in the basement of
the home. They said then also
found a walkie-talkie hooked
up from the basement to the
front porch of the home.
Mr.. Waite admitted being
the host at the party, but said
he didn't know anything about
the table. He was charged with
keeping a gambling table and
was given the 30-day jail sent
ance in County Court.
Mr.. Waite told the court
hearing his appeal yesterday
that he is a law school gradu-
ate, and proceeded to act as
his own counsel. The trial, he
enlisted legal aid from an at
torney who happened to be in
the courtroom, L. Farnum
johnson, jr.
The jury, however, returned
a verdict of permitting the OPP
Grafton of a gaming table, and
imposed the sitter penalty.
Mr.. Johnson moved to have
the verdict set aside. He con-
tended that Mr.. Waite was con-
victed of a differen offense
than that with which he had
been charged. The jury had
been told it could convict Waite
on a lesser charge.
Chief Circuit Court Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy set De-
cember 2 to hear the motion.
and Mr.. Waite was freed on
$500 bond. Since the gambling
raid, he has moved to New
York City.

Prince Georges
Probes CuVein

Prince Georges County police
are investigating a cavein Tues
day which buried a workman to
his shoulders but did not injure
him.
Detective 1t. Richard A.
Pearson said James c. Bundy
SO, of Littleton, Va, was digging
a ditch on Swan Creek road in
Southern Prince Georges fol-
the D. A. Forester Co. of Mer-
rifield, Va, for a gas line.
Mr.. Bundy was installing
bracing in the ditch when a
wall gave way and buried him
shoulder-high in mud and
water. 1t. Pearson said. The
workman was taken to Hadley
Memorial Hospital, where he
was examined and released.

MOOREHEAD'S WORLD
His Travels I urn Into Books

Mr.. M ore lie a d paused and
said, "the Egyptian government
should pay me. This is the kind
of stuff for tourist agencies"
Mr.. Moorehead has written
about Is books. He lives in
Tuscany, Italy, along the sea,
somewhere between Florence
and Rome, with his wife and
the youngest of their three
children and no telephone and
a shed he built for writing.
The loneliness and discipline
that his work imposes gets
through to Mr.. Moorehead at
times and then he is off for
London or New York where he
secs the dentist. the doctor
the tailor, the agent. the
theater."
And occasionally, as la t
night before an In Stitute of
Contemporary Arts audience,
he lectures-another thing he
d espises-but terms "a test.
You always feel so wonderful
when you finish it."
His life was achieved by pure
design. Il planned my life very
early as a boy. I wanted to be-
come a foreign correspondent,
then go on to write books"
I'VE correspondents had a
lovely war. Unlike the enlisted
men who had to stay forward,
we correspondents could always
go back"
Mr.. Moorehead, a successful
spokesman for all the Walter
Mittys of the world, said mot
having a job has enormous ad-
vantages. You can work exactly
when and at what you want.
And there's nobody to push you
around"

If he weren't so nice, Alan
Moorehead could consume a
person with envy. Here he is
making a profitable living out
of travelling around the world,
writing superb books about
what he sees today and what
happened in the same place
100 years ago.
The former war correspon-
dent who wandered throug h
Africa to write THE Blue Nile"
and 1.-THE White Nile" and
through his native Australia to
write his latest book, "Cooper's
Creek" was in the immobile
position of being trapped in a
chair by interviewers.
As he talked about peopl e
and places, Mr.. Moorehe a d
made it clear hat he love S
most things. But he hates in
terviews, has never broken his
VOW not to appear on TV, and
hates to write.
I'm not an actor. Writers
should be read and not seen.
My job is sitting alone in a
room and writing" This bust
ness of writing, he says, is the
hardest work in the world.
Harder than chopping down
trees"
Mr.. Moorehead's interest is
in retracing the steps of ex-
plorers and making them come
alive. "Cooper's Greek" is "a
water hole in the center of the
continent. I've written about an
expedition 100 years ago when
some explorers set off to try to
cross the continent and all died
in the attempt.

tial" grants under this pro-
gram.
Two Maryland Legislators
Representative Matthias, Re-
publican, and Representative
Sickles, Democrat - argued
against this ban on the House
floor, but were unable to cancel
it because the directive was in
cluded in the report, and not in
the appropriations bill itself.
Maryland's Republican Senator
Beall has been working to erase
the House committee directive.
The Senate committee yester-
day said it is ''unwise to
single out any one area,
wherever located, for the pur-
pose of denying to them grants
for which they have qualified"
Held National Need
The Senate report said that
Congress has established stiff
requirements for qualifying for
the Federal aid. that preserva-
ton Of open space and parks is
a recognized national need, and
added:
THE committee feels that no
area should be penalized be-
cause of its ability to quickly
qualify for, and receive. Federal
assistance and its willingness
to expend substantial sums Of
its own money for necessary
open-space lands"
The Senate Appropriations
Committee also went along
with House reflections Of:
Spending requests Of sos
million for site and design
money for a new Labor Depart
ment building, proposed for
Pennsylvania avenue, and
funds for sites and designs for
a new Tax Court and an annex
to the National Science Foun-
dalton Building.

Further Study Ordered
On Wig Regulations

The District Commissioners
today authorized a further in
vestigation to determine wheth-
er additional regulations are
needed to control wig shops in
Washington.
The action came after the
city's chief legal officer told
the Commissioners the wig
business could be further con-
trolled. At present. there are
some controls under the Co.'S
metology Act when personnel
in the shops arrange. cut or
style hair in connection with
the sale or servicing of wigs.
Corporation Counsel Chester
H. Gray said the Commissioners
have the power under the Gen.
eral License Act to adopt regu-
lations to control wig shops
whose personnel do not per-
form genealogical services.
Recommendation Filed
In addition. Mr.. Gray recon-
mended that his office anc
three other District agencies
conduct an investigation to de-
termine whether there are vio-
lations by wig shops under pres
ent regulations and whether
further regulations are needed,
A report from the Depart
ment Of Licenses and Inspec-
tons attached to the corpora
ton counsel's opinion delivered
to the Commissioners today
said that some control of this
industry may be justified" The
report was made at the request
of the Commissioners after ex-
posure in The Star of COM
plants against some shops.
The report from j. j. Ilgen-
fritz, department director, said
los complaints have been re-
ceived from wig purchasers,
The complaints were the re-
suit of the newspaper articles
suggesting such complaints be
made to the Department of
Licenses and Inspection" he
said.
The Commissioners voted to
have Mr.. ngenfritz conduct a
further investigation along with
the Cesmetology Board and the
Health Department.

The
Rambler
Sees
His Breuth
By GEORGE KENNEDY

The last rose of summer
finally got it yesterday morn
ing.
She had been a lovely
bloom Tuesday evening,
standing at eye-level height
alongside the front door.
But yesterday she was
dropping, her petals nipped
and blackened by the killing
frost.
You could see your breath.
The lawn was silvery with
frozen dew.
1t was bound to come.
Last weeks wind and rain
had left most of the trees
without leaves except for a
beautiful weeping willow In
the valley below.
Again from this house on
the hill you can see the Po-
tomac, a bright streak re-
flecting the sun rising over
the Maryland hills beyond it.
The loss of leaves reveals
birds nests in places that
you've never suspected.
What kind of winter will
it be?

In the report, the committee
also:

The Senate committees
statement on getting rid of the

proval of $34.8 million for con-
struction Of Federal Office

partment building is to span

tom is making a concerted eff
fort to remove the temporary
buildings on the Mall and on

mittee completely agrees with

Space for Displaced
The committee went on to
urge that space be set aside in
the Little Pentagon" for work
ers now in the tempos, along
with any other needed office
shifts, so that the old buildings
can be torn down at last.
The man mainly responsible
for the committees recommen-
dation is Senator Magnuson,
Democrat of Washington, who
is chairman of the Senate APP
preparations Subcommittee on
Independent Offices. At hear

LAST YEAR THE predic-
ton was for precipitation
above and temperature be-
low normal-a cold, hard
winter.
The prediction was page
one news not only here but
in Europe. Sometimes the
same condition that sends
cold air masses from the Arc
tic across our continent
causes other cold air masses
to slide across Europe. Such
conditions obtained last win
ter and Europe had a very
hard winter
That the United States
Weather Bureau had predict
ed a severe winter was car
ried in the European press.
Some of the mail to the
Weather Bureau from Eu-
rope indicated that the writ
erS thought the United States
was not only predicting but
causing cold weather.
Yesterday Mr.. Namias
doubted that he would make
a prediction about the COM
ing winter because of mete-
geological conditions.
His term for them was
chaotic"
The stationary high that
caused the october drought
and caused hurricanes to
stand still or turn back was
part of it.
"At this time of year we
have a reversal. 1t began
today. The five-day fore
cast calls for temperatures
below normal, he said.
"a meteorologist knows
when he has the tools-when
conditions are favorable to
make an accurate forecast.
That is far from the Situa-
ton today. Call me early in
December. Conditions may
have changed and we have

IN PREVIOUS YEARS this
column has had a pipeline
into the future-not by con-
sulting almanacs or watch
ing squirrels or estimating
the acorn crop-but by tele-
phoning the Extended Fore
cast Branch Of the Weather
Bureau.
1t is located in Suitland,
Md.
For a number Of years this
branch has been preparing
90-day weather maps which
E. are not published.
There is nothing top secret
about them. 1t is just the
Weather Bureaus policy until
a consistently high rate of
accuracy has proved their
value.
1t was the same with the
S0-day weather maps which
were prepared for several
years before it was decided
to issue them.
As in the 3O-day forecast,
the predictions attempted are
whether temperatures and
precipitation will be above
or below normal.
The maps are of the con-
tinental United States.
Jerome Namias, the mete-
orologist at the branch, is a
typical scientist little en-
barrassed by publicity and
diffident about making
claims. For the last three
years the branch's predic-
tons have clicked as far as
Washington Is concerned.
Three years ago it pre-
dieted a hard winter. I
talked to him on a mild Fri
day. Washington got its first
snowfall on Monday, the day
the column appeared. That
was the winter of the Ken
nedy Inaugural, which you
will remember was on the
heels of a blizzard.
Two years ago the predic-
ton was for a mild, open
winter. Norfolk was plas-
tered with 9 inches of
snow and Baltimore was tied
up by another storm, but
Washington didn't get real
snow until the Atlantic Coast
storm of March 4 and 5 which
caused so much damage on
the Eastern Shore.
