surprise action, board member

Foirfox School RISING. 4.
Without Title to Land

An unrecorded deed for a
land parcel at the site of a
$2.5 million high school under
construction in Fairfax County
raises new questions about
proper coordination" OF
school construction, the chair
man of the County Board OF
Supervisors said yesterday.
A. Claiborne Leigh said he
would ask fellow board men,
bers for a full airing tomorrow
on the status of a 13-acre
tract at the 38 acre site of the
new Fort Hunt High School in
southern Fairfax County.
According to Mr.. Leigh, the
school board does not have
title to the tract, which is a
part of a subdivision off Fort
Fort Hunt road in the Mount
vernon QlSLrlCJ.
Attorney Jack c. Testerman
acting for the school board
confirmed that the deed for the
land has not been recorded.
Title Forecast
However, the attorney said
contractual agreements with
the Subdivisions present owner
Clarence w. Gosnell, Inc, OF
Alexandria, insure the school
board will gain title to the
l3 acres in the near future.
According to Mr.. Testerman
formal recording Of the deed
has been awaiting county ap-
proval of the original subdi-
vision plot. This approval, he
said. has been delayed by

THE LAST SESSION of the
Senate in the old chamber
before moving to its present
location was on January 4,
1859.
Senator Mason Of Virginia
and Senator Slldell of Loui-
siana, who we're both to be-
come internationally famous,
were present. Sitting next to
Slidell in the second to last
row was Jefferson Davis Of
Mississippi.
Crittenden Of Kentucky
was called upon for a few
words.
Here within these walls"
he said, IL have seen men
whose fame is not surpassed
by anything Of Grecian or Of
Roman name.
II have seen Clay and
Webster and Calhoun and
Benton and Leigh and
Wright and Clayton (last
though not least) mingling
together In this body at one
time and uniting their coun-
sci for the benefit OF the
country"
The presiding officer,
John Cabell Breckenridge Of

some money or I'll kill you'll"
The intruder threatened her
with the scissors as he forced
her back upstairs to her bed
room, Mrs. Hays said.
Finding no money, the in
truder again threatened her
with the scissors until Mrs.
Hays produced a small box
with money from a dresser
drawer.
I'm going to give this money
to you but you'll have to leave, "
she told the intruder.
With that. Mrs. Hays said
she walked across the bedroom,
leaned over the stairway rail-
! ing and threw the money down
to the ground floor.
When the intruder started
down the stairway to retrieve
the money, Mrs. Hays said she
slammed the bedroom door be-
hind him and locked it.
Il ran to my window 1

said.
Telephones Police
when I looked out the win
dow and saw him walking up
Second street, I unlocked my
door and called police from a
phone in the upstairs hallway .
Mrs. Hayes concluded.
According to Fifth precinct
detectives Antonio Ruiz and
George Cox, the intruder
entered the Hays home shortly
after S pm. by breaking a
ground-floor side window pane.
Police broadcast a lookout
for a Negro male, in his late
teens or early 20s, about 6 feet
tall. weighing $50 pounds, and
of slim build with a mustache.
The housebreaker was wearing
a tan raincoat and a light tan
scarf over his head, police said.
Mr.. Hays said his wife in
sisted hSat they both attend a
dinner meeting of the Baptist
Public Relations Officers at
the National Press Club, despite
the incident.
Mr.. Hays, a former president
of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, served as Democratic
Representative from Little
Rock, Ark, for l6 years.
In December. 1861, after

tary Of State for nine months,

cial assistant to President Ken

A young housebreaker last
night threatened to kill the
wife of Brooks Hays, a White
House special assistant, after
forcing his way into the Hays
Capitol Hill home in search of
money.
Mrs. Hays, SIS, was slightly
injured before she surrendered
$40 to the man.
X-rays at Casualty Hospital
disclosed that Mrs. Hays right
wrist was fractured. She will be
hospitalized for "a hours, her
husband said this morning as
the fracture was being set.
The three-story Hays town
house is at 314 Second street
Sc, directly across from st.
Peters Catholic Church, where
a CongreSSman's aide was
stabbed nine times last July as
she prayed.

hold UP the advancement and
expansion Of our junior college
program"
However, William E. Coyle,
who was elected with Mr..
Woodward, said, What we
really are doing here is en-
barking on the first lap of a
SIS to $40 million community
college. For that reason l feel
more strongly about getting the
answers to some questions that
have been raised"
Student Caliber Questioned
Board President Charles w
Bell concurred with Mr.. Wood
ward and said a suspension and
committee report in june
would certainly be in order
He read a letter from a faculty
member of the Takoma Park
college, whom he did not name
which said that of the 2,40C
full and part-time students
now enrolled, not more thar
one-fourth "are college ma
terial."
Discussing composition of the
reviewing committee, Mr.. Bell
said he thought he would ap-
point Mr.. Woodward, Mr.. Coyle
and William 1. Saunders, who
also approved the suspension
The motion to suspend an
work on the new junior college
was adopted 4-3. A total of $3.S
million in State and local funds
has been appropriated and its
89-acre site behind the Educa-
tional Services Center in Rock
vile purchased.
Mr.. Whittier said this means
the spring construction season
will be missed and the school
if work goes ahead in June
probably could not open before
September, 1865.

Further Study Set

Further study Of the advisa-
bility of the proposal will be
made by a subcommittee to be
named today by Donald Gar
tenhaus. the Planning Commit
tees chairman.
At last nights session. Fred
erick P. MaScioli, a committee
member, said the areas re-
newal plan calls for public
housing projects on five spe-
cific sites, but under the. new
provision the 100 additional
units "can be placed in helter-
skelter fashion.
This creates a free-Wheeling
power for RIA that is not
nailed down in the plan," he
said.
Mr.. Doyle explained it would
be impossible for the plan to
show exactly where the scat
tered houses would be, since
their location would depend on
which owners decided to con-
form to area standards and
which did not.
John Barr, jr., an attorney
who served as chairman of a
citizens land-use subcommittee
as part Of a citlzen-participa-
ton program in the area. said
his group never was informed
Of the plan to condemn proper
ties for scattered site-public
housing.
Mr.. Doyle said that last June
he had told the planning COM
mittee some Of the houses were
proposed for use as scattered
site public housing. He con-
ceded, however, the provision
for this had not been written
into the renewal plan submit
ted to the planning commits
sion October rs.
This plan later was extern
sively revised by NCPC's staff
at RLA's request to "re-zone"
% per cent Of the area that will
be bought initially by RIA. Part
of the remaining 78 per cent
is to be rehabilitated by owners
to meet RIA specifications.

HERE OCCURRED one of
the few facts of violence that
have marred our parliament
tary proceedings.
On May %, in 1856, Sena-
tor Charles inner of
Massachusetts, was beaten
over the head with a cane
until he fell unconscious,
injured for life.
Two days before, he had
made a speech on the Kan
sas-Nebraska Act saying,
among other things, that
Kansas in its few years of
settlement as a territory, by
resisting slavery had made a
greater contribution to the
Nation than South Carolina
since the arrival of it's first
colony.
He said Senator Butler of
South Carolina (who was not
present) was a Don Quixote
paying his VOWS to the "har-
lot, Slavery"
At the close of the session
on May %, Senator Buffers
nephew, Representative
Preston Brooks of South
Carolina, entered the cham
ber carrying a cane.
Sumner was seated at his
desk. Brooks was a South
ern gentleman in this: He
waited is minutes until two
lady visitors left.
Then standing over Sum-
ner he told the Senator that
he had read the speech
twice, considered it a libel
on his State and his rela-
tives, and before the Senator
could rise began beating him
over the head with a cane.
Crittenden Of Kentucky,
the dean of the Senate,
walked by.
Don't kill him." he said.
Then, as now, The Evening
Star tried to be impartial.
The next day, on the Sec
ond page, under the heading
THE Assault in the Senate"
the incident was reported in
four paragraphs.
The first read:
1--WE have taken the occa-
sion to procure an account
of the affair that occurred
in the Senate chamber yes
terday afternoon from an
eyewitness in whose integrity
and representation we rely"
Then follows the account
that is found in most history
books.

Glue Shifting Called
Menace in District
Delinquency
Health Cited
By Youth Aide
BY CHARLES d. PIERCE
Star Staff Writer


Glue sniffing-a new and
dangerous national fad among
adolescents-has now become 80
menace" in Washington, the
District Commissioners were
warned today.
John E. Winters, Deputy
Chief and head Of the Youth
Aid Division told the Commits
sioners that the problem here
"is now city-wide and is ex-
tremely dangerous.
Chief Winters said, "A num-
ber Of crimes have been com,
mitted by juveniles which can
be directly attributed to this
glue shifting. These crimes
range from larceny to robbery
and include some assault
cases"
An article in This Week,
Magazine in The Sunday Star
last week end pointed out thai
glue shifting has become a na+
tionwide threat to the health
of American youngsters.
Chief Winters said that the
product mostly used in WASH
ington is model glue. He said
that this glue is squeezed into
handkerchiefs or paper cups
and the fumes inhaled.
Chief Winters said that the
fumes can cause blindness,
paralysis or even death.
! He said that some youngsters
have had to be treated here b..
doctors for the effects of glue
shifting and at least one youth
had to be taken to District
General Hospital.
"The present local situation
is such that there must be-
realization that the community
faces a serious problem from
both a health and delinquency
standpoint Chief Winters said
The District Commissioner
ordered a regulation drawn W.
as soon as possible to curb this
new fad.
Chief Winters said that the
Youth Aid Division received
its first complaints about "gluo
shifting" in the latter part Of
1859 He added that while tha
problem was confined at first
to the Mount Pleasant area iS
has now spread over the city.
The Youth Aid Division. he
said, has investigated approx
mately $50 cases involving glue
shifting. The age of these boys
and girls ranged from 9 to II
years.
1T would be impossible to
estimate the number involved
Of which the Youth Aid Divi-
sion has no knowledge" h1
said.
The Youth Aid Division has
found some indication that
glue-sniffing has been respon-
sible "for unnatural sex con-
duct on the part Of very young
| girls" said Chief Winters.
/ He said that "a lot of these
youngsters seem to be basically
good kids who have never been
in trouble before.
Most of them are white and
come from middle and upper
income class families"
The chief said that glue
shifting has also become a seri-
Gus problem for many Wash
ington area suburbs.
Chester Gray, corporation
counsel, said that he is consid-
ering some provisions beyond
the Maryland law for use here.
One Of these would require
persons who sell glue to MAIN
tain a register of the names of
all persons who buy this model
glue.
Another proposed regulation
would require any merchant
selling two or more containers
OF the glue to report the buyers
name and address TO police.
Walter N. Tobriner said that
I'VE all agree some prompt ac-
ton on the part of the city is
necessary"
Commissioner John B. Dun-
can said that he regards ths
glue-sniffing as one almost as
serious as narcotics"

Transit Units Decision
On GSA Postponed

ing hearings this week on the
company's fare proposal.
The Maryland member, Al
bert L. Sklar, who participated
in the ruling last week that
the Government, represented
by the General Services Ad-
ministration, did not comply
with the commissions rules for
entering the case. is expected
to join his colleagues tomorrow
Sees Track Removals
Today, James H. Flanagan,
vice president, controller and
treasurer. justified the transit
company's IS million surplus
in its track removal and re-
paving fund by stating that 1t
is a definite possibility" that
it will be spent in the next two
to three years.
In response to questioning by
Attorney Leonard N. Bebchick,
who was representing two pro-
testing the proposed fare in
crease. Mr.. Flanagan said that
one Of these possibilities is the
approval Of the National Cap
ital Transportation Agency's
subway plan. which would re-
quire ripping out Transit's
streetcar tracks on F and @
streets downtown. Urban re-
newal and 'readjustments to
major highways" we're the
other possibilities he mentioned
District Highway Director
Harold L. Aiken is scheduled
to testify tomorrow on the
anticipated cost Of track re-
moval and repaving TO d. c
Transit in the next three years
Chairman Clarke disclosed DUR
ing a recess. I'VE hope he will
shed some light on the city's
repaving schedule" he said.
The company's franchise re-
quires that track removal be
co-ordinated with the city's
repaving schedules.
Took Up Issues
After lawyers for the COM
pany and GSA clashed over
whether the latter had entered
its protest In accordance with
the commission rules, the hear
ings got back to the substan-
tive issues yesterday.
The new air conditioned
buses the company has been
buying will not stand UP as
long as the older ones have.
said In defending the COM
pany's claim for higher depre-
citation charges OF approx
mately $4,000.

some facets of the proposed
development of the subdivision
Mr.. Leigh said the plot has
received preliminary sanction
from the county planning staff
but it must finally be approved
by himself or by the county
executive, Carlton Massey.
Mr.. Leigh added that ht
wanted to hear the background
on the matter tomorrow wher
the protesting neighbors are ex-
pected to voice their opposi-
ton to approval of the sub
division plot. before he passes
on it.
Board Members Fired
The transaction he ques-
toned yesterday was made be-
fore the supervisors fired five
school borad members last fal
as the climax in a long dispute
over supervision of school con-
struction.
According to Mr.. Testerman
the Alexandria Land Corp
owned the entire subdivision
when the school board made its
contractual agreements for the
l3 acres at the Fort Hunt con-
struction site. Later, the agree.
ments were transferred to the
new owner of the subdivision
the Gosnell firm, the attorney
said.
The remaining Gosnell acre
age is to be developed as River
side Gardens subdivision.
Mr.. Leigh declared the trans
action is very, very risky
because it could be upset BY
various types of liens made by
outside parties.
You Just don't build on land
you don't own" he added
This is an administrative mis-
take"
The risky status Of the tract
strengthens the view that there
should be better "co-ordina-
ton of school construction.

'Scatter-Site'
Public HOUSING
Plan Debated
Adums-Moreun
Unit Hears RIA
Aide on PROPOSAL
By ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star Staff Writer

A citizens group last night
debated a new plan for scat
tered-site" public housing to
be rented in private homes
condemned by the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency.
Present to answer questions
at four-hour special meeting
of the Adams-Morgan Plan
ming Committee were Phil A.
Doyle, RIA executive director,
and Lawrence Press of the
National Capital Planning
Commission.
This was the first public ex-
change of opinion on implica-
tions of the controversial pro-
posal, which would affect other
District renewal areas under
current policy.
The plan was disclosed IL
days ago as a surprise provision
Of the urban-renewal blueprint
for the Adams-Morgan area.
Similar Plan Urged
A similar program not in
volving condemnation of prop
critics is also proposed in two
Northeast and Northwest
neighborhoods which are not
designated for renewal.
Appearing before the special
meeting of the citizens organi-
zation, Mr.. Doyle explained last
night why the provision was
introduced into the Adams
Morgan renewal plan.
He said it was included so
that a formal renewal-plan re-
vision would not be required
whenever a house was sold by
RIA to the National Capital
Housing Authority for public
housing use.
The Adams-Mor plan en-
powers RIA to take over prop
critics by condemnation pro-
ceedings, when owners do not
upgrade them to RIA specifi-
cations. Under the new provi-
sion, the agency would be per-
mitted to turn over 100 houses
at scattered locations to NCHA
for rehabilitation and rental to
low-income families.
