Lack Of Quorum
Delays Action on
Building Height

Consideration of a contro-
versial emergency" ordinance
to restrict the height of new
buildings in the historic area
of Alexandria has been post
poned by the city's Planning
Commission to February S.
Three of the commissions
seven members were absent
from the meeting last night,
leaving the board one short of
the quorum necessary to con-
slider ordinances.
The ordinance, setting a
maximum building height of
81 feet along Washington street
and in other areas, was pro-
posed by the Old Town Civic
Association in the face of plans
to build a nine STORY structure
around historic Lloyd House on
North Washington street and
an eight : story building on
nearby Montgomery street.
The limitation is opposed by
the Alexandria Retail Mer-
chants Association, the Cham
Der of Commerce, and Robert
V. New, wealthy oil man, who
plans to construct the Lloyd
House office building.

of these orders to report back
what action they have taken
to comply.
Schuyler Lowe, director of
the Department of General Ad-
ministration, has been named
by the Commissioners to di-
rect the manpower utilization
program.
Mr.. Lowe said that several
more orders will be issued call
ing for greater emphasis on
such matters as attendance

awards, more complete report
ing and review of present or

other persons on the ground
were killed also.
Firemen labored into the
night in search of other pos
sible victims among the res
idents Of Jabaquara, a workers
suburb of this southern Brazil
industrial center.
Residents Flee
The crash of the two-engine,
propeller-d driven airliner leveled
three workers homes and sent
residents fleeing into the
streets. They reported a thun-
dering roar and crash, followed
by leaping flames. A housewife
saw her neighbor's house go
up IN a ball of fire.
Residents and army medical
men who sped to the scene
from nearby maneuver grounds
helped the 80 others aboard
the plane to escape safely
through the flaming debris.
Among the victims was
Brazilian novelist Maria de
Lourdes Lebert.
1t was the fifth major Bra
lillian plane crash since Novem-
Der 26. In the previous crashes,
ITS persons were killed.
The plane, a Convair oper-
ated by the domestic Brazilian
airline, Cruzeiro do Sui, was
nearing the end of an economy
"airbridge" flight from Rio de
Janeiro when it developed
trouble, airline officials said.
Pilot RadiOed
They said the pilot, Carlos
Alberto Souza, radioed that
there was trouble in the left
engine and in the landing gear
and that he would attempt an
emergency landing at Co Con-
has airport in Sac Paulo.

quickly and crashed, officials
said. Pilot Souza survived.

a photograph to drown the
noise of the escape operation.
The six escaped at about GAS

grab them, but near the drop
of the falls he managed to hold
on to a submerged rock.
From the Maryland side, a
rescuer attempted to swim out
with a rope but couldn't. Then
some people threw the rope and
Kip grabbed. In a few mo-

He expects to spend between

The house was undoubtedly
built for much less about 1749
when DR.. David Ross estab-

near what is now the Peace
Cross. Historians have noted
that the building was used as
a hospital for British and
American soldiers when the
British invaded the capital in

Freedom is a total thing
You can't be for part of free
dom. I can't say as a Negro,
after 100 years, that I should
now fight for anything less
than total freedom"
A Negro Congressman, Rob-
ert N. c. Nix of Philadelphia
is speaking. The subject is the
racial protest march planned
for Washington on August %,
Mr.. Nix is one of five Ne
groes serving in the House Of
Representatives. All are Demo-
Gratis, and all come from the
Negro wards of big cities.
Somewhat surprisingly, they
are far from unanimous in
their views of the coming DEM
onstration.
They range from the mill
fancy of Adam Clayton Powell
the flamboyant fashion plate
from Harlem, to 77-year-o {
William Dawson of Chicago
who fears the protest march
could blow up in messy riot
and do more harm than good.
Somewhere in between are
Augustus Hawkins of Los An
geles, who unreservedly backs
the demonstration, as do Mr.
Powell and Mr.. Nix, anc
Charles c. DiggS of Detroit
who backs it but has raised
some doubts as to whether Il
is worth the money and effori
that will go into it.

said. But the more he talked
the clearer became his gray,

Not all Negroes have had ed
ucational opportunities, Mr.
Dawson said, and a gathering
of 100000 or more from al
over the Nation could get out

Ever since the battle to pre-
serve the historic Ross house in
Bladensburg was lost in 1857
its bits, pieces and $4,000 bricks
have been in storage.
But history buffs-who were
on the losing side of the pres
ervation fight-will be happy
to learn that not all is lost
to progress.
A steel wire manufacturer is
putting the Ross house back
together again on top of hill
overlooking the Western Run
Valley in Baltimore County.

old home" commented Leonard
c. Crewe, jr., the restorer. until

of the Ross house"

For a year now, a small staff
of men has been rebuilding the
Ross house and its II fireplaceS
from the ground up to its
third floor. 1t will be just as
it was, Mr.. Crewe said, except
for a new wing.
Mr.. Crewe purchased the
parts "for a fraction" of the
$4,000 estimated cost for pre-
Servation in 1857 when the house
