''Friendship-it's the most
important thing I learned
and found in Washington.
In fact, it's the most impor-
tant thing in being an am
bassador."
This bit Of philosophy was
expressed in farewell last
evening by one of the most
dashing and popular diplo-
mats in town, Norwegian
Ambassador Paul Koht. He
and his wife Crete will be
leaving their Washington
post July / for a new tour
Of duty in Bonn, Germany.
The Norwegian Embassy,
filled with over 800 guests,
was q scene Of mixed emo
ton. APPLY put by Mrs.
Koht sit is a happy and ex-
citing thing to have so many
friends together at one time.
And for the moment it's very
enjoyable. We won't know
how sad it is until it's all
over"
No Hobbies
Ambassador Koht, a tow
ering, affable man whose
face and manner are remi-
niscent Of Will Rogers, jr., be-
lieves diplomacy is compre-
hensive. Convinced of the
usefulness Of cocktail par
ties, he believes that work
should be fun. II have no
hobbies-my work Is my hob
by" he says.
IT enjoy communicating
with people ordinary
people and when 1t
comes to maintaining the
friendship between two coun-
tries, the same principle Is
involved" he says.
"Of course Norway and the
United States are on the
friendlieSt Of terms, but
some things arise" For ex-
ample" he explains. when
we feel U. s. shipping poll
cies infringe on Norwegian
economy then the diff
ferences should be settled
without hurt feelings"
The Kohts have three chill
dren. Eighteen-year-old Eric
and 19-year-old Lise are
studying In Oslo. where they
have been for the past year.

the last year studying liberal

Halvdan Skard who will be q

would like 10 settle down

Her Design
Guests mingled out on the
terTaced patio that was en-
gineered In design by Mrs.
Koht, an architect in her

arrived here five years ago

BY AMELIA YOUNG
Star staff Writer

Trustees Of the Washing
ton Ballet Guild put on their
dancing shoes last night and
took a flying leap toward
solvency.
The setting was all Swan
Lake-blue-green trees, bub-
bling water, stars and the
rest-but the music was
Benny Goodman.
The dance, q benefit din
ner-dance, took place on the
picturesque Shoreham Ter
race and the several hundred
guests included members or
friends of the guild, the
Washington School Of Ballet,
the Washington (junior)
Ballet Company and the
Washington National Ballet
Foundation. There were no
prominent National Ballet
officials present.
In the spirit Of reunion,
the guild billed this black
tie soiree as q celebration Of
its new partnership with the
National Ballet Society and
National Ballet Company.
But the former, still begged
down by what 1t cost to sup
port the American Ballet
Theater last season, had the
more important aim Of rails
ing funds to cancel its old
debts.
The benefit party was
organized in q record four
weeks time. Mrs. Perle Mesta
and Mrs. Carson Frailey,
wife Of the guild president,
were co-chairmen, and guild
trustee George William s
served as their secretary
general.

building with q vertical cliff
and a flat topSide.
After so years Of practice in
Takoma Park, his patients are
still moving into the parlor
when the waiting room be-
comes too crowded. In the
quiet parlor there is a shiny
black piano, many comfortable
easy chairs and no magazines
not even the ack-dated kind.
Unlike other physicians, DR..
Little still makes house calls.
In fact, sometimes he actually
walks there. His assistant is
not a young thing fresh out of

today.
Hadder, accused of the fatal
shooting of police Pvt. Alfred

Jacksonville Beach jail.
There, the FBI said, the 81
year-old ex-Sailor said he was

tiles did not compare his prints
with those on the Nationwide
lookout for Hadder.
The next day at 2 pm. Had

seen heading for the City of
Jacksonville.
The FBI said that after he
was gone, a truSty in the Jail
told authorities he thoughe he
recognized Bass" as Hadder
from his pictures on the FBI
flyer. A check of the prints
confirmed his identity.
The FBI, which added Had
der to its list Of 10 most-wanted

ton here is but one of several
developments underscoring a
growing mood of rebellion
among some teachers and stu
dents against administration
policies.
Mood Of Rebellion
The student government,
headed by an executive council,
planned to present the entire
student body with a proclama-
ton in an afternoon assembly
today that was understood to
be somewhat critical of admin
istration policies.
Student leaders were guard
ing the contents of their state
ment closely, but let it be
known thtey would seek a vote
of confidence from the student
body of some 1000 in defining
the problem" that exists be-
tween administration and stu
dents.
This development follows the
resignation Saturday of Jerald
HOWE from his position as
president Of the FroStburg stu
dent government. He said he
resigned because of pressure
exerted by DR.. Hardesty.
In still another development

Church Site
zoneChunoe
Is Protested

Strong opposition was ex-
pressed at a public hearing
today to a request for a coming
change which would permit the
National Presbyterian Church
to sell its property at 1853
1854 N street NV. for $2.5
million.
The church, which plans to
move from its present location,
has asked that the property be
rezoned to permit construction
Of retail stores.
Mrs. Walter K. Myers of BOIL
Forty-fifth street NV, told
the coming commission that the
church trustees acted legally
in deciding to move but "wert
hasty and morally wrong"
Mrs. Myers, who said she is
a fourth-generation member ot
the church, a granddaughter OF
Alexander Graham Bell and a
great granddaughter of the
founder of the National Presby-
terrain Church, said the church
has IAN obligation to the area
where it is now located.
However, Reginald c. Har-
mon. a retired general and
chairman Of the church's Board
of Trustees, said that the con-
gregation voted almost unani-
mously more than a year ago
to move.
He said that property for a
new church site at 1900 Massa-
chusetts avenue NV. has al
ready been acquired. He added
that the area where the church
is now located is we'll served
by a number of other churches.
Gen. Harmon said that re-
gardless of the decision made
on the coming application, the
present site on N street will
definitely be sold. 5
Norman Glasgow, attorney
for the church, told the coming
commission that the present
church structure is so defec-
tive that it would not be prac-
teal to remodel it.
Mr.. Glasgow said that even
under the present SP coming,
a hotel with first floor shops
could be located at the church
site.
Mrs. Grace D. Nichols, 1901
Sixteenth street NV, repre-
senting the Association for the
Preservation of the TOO Block
of N Street NV, said that
granting of the coming applica-
ton would permit commercial
interest to get "a foot in the
door to destroy this whole block
of fine houses"

but could easily pass for so.
One of his main interests is
his large vacation house built
on a wooded hillside on Lake
Hickory near Hickory, N. c.
Here, at "Vanabee," he swims
and fishes. The house has a
library, a piano room, an out
side dance floor, four bedrooms
and a living room with a huge
fireplace. He rents the place
for any length of time during
the year.

sad that the family physician
as he knew him is becoming a
thing of the past. There's
not much personal contact
with your patients any more"
he says. land that's one of
the most rewarding things in
medicine" Some of his patients
have been coming to him for
more than 40 years.
"All you hear about today
is diet and pills." he says. But
if people lived right they would
not have all these worries. For
one thing, they rarely exercise
and rather than walk a block
they will drive instead. I try
to walk at least a few miles a
week"
DR.. Little has no weight prob
lem. His lightest meal is din
ner and his heaviest meal is
breakfast. Eat a good break
fast" he advises, land you
have all day to work it off.
With a heavy dinner you
usually sleep on it."
His office and home is To-
Gated at 69l1 Fifth street.
1t is one-Story brown-shin-
gled building that looks like
any of the other older Takoma

hard to find his small single,
but it has been there for a
half century and Fifth street
would look somewhat naked
without it now.

AOpening Probe
Of Driver-Workers

To Check Time
Spent in Cabs
By DAN GOTTLEB
star staff Writer

The Veterans Administration
Is launching an Investigation
into whether any of its en-
ployes are driving taxi cabs in
the District on Government
duty time or sick time, a VA
official said yesterday.
The investigate was
spurred by a spot check by the
General Accounting office.
The check turned up evi-
dence that there could be some
conflict between the part-time
cab driving and their Govern
ment duties in some cases, the
official said.
The VA will start calling in
employees. and if preliminary
evidence of the GAO is sub
stantiated, possible action
could range from admonish-
ment to removal" he said.
Otner CneckS maue
Report Of the VA inyestiga-
ton followed disclosure yester-
day that the District govern
ment and the Post Office De-
lpartment are planning checks
of their employees who also
drive cabs. The GAO also I'M
covered evidence of possible
violations of working rules in
these agencies, it was reported.
The investigation in the Dis
trict government may call for
more than ordinary personnel
procedures" possible setting up
of a special board of review,
John A. Israelson, Acting En-
gineer Commissioner, said.
Tentative findings Of the
GAO showed that of 80 licensed
hackers in the Sanitary En-
cheering and Highways De-
partments, only IL were for
mally cleared of possible dis
crepancies in Government duty.
OF AZ who turned in their taxi
driving records, discrepancies
relating to attendance to duty
were found for 10. Remaining
cases involved incomplete in
formation on which to make
findings.
"Our test indicated serious
lack of supervision over the
employees involved" a GAO re-
: port on the audit said.
GAO Findings
/. The GAO found that some
!, employees were apparently driv-
: ing while signed UP for Govern
ment duty or while recorded al

AS AMBASSADOR DOH
ERTY pointed out in his
speech, praiSing Briggs, it
does seem remarkable that
Congress and the Lincoln
administration, deep in a
civil war, were willing to try
out the scheme on a nation
wide basis.
And on July /, 1868, a car
rier force of 449 marched off
in 40 cities to deliver the
mail.
1t was an immediate sue
cess. For example, in 1862,
most Americans spent about
Is cents a year on his mail.
BY 1865, largely because of
the new delivery system, the
average citizen was spending
AZ cents a year.
And postal revenue S
jumped from So million in
1862 to $11 million a year
later.
Perhaps there is, some
place, a record of what one
of those postmen went
through on the first day of
the new system.
One of the 40 cities Sc
lected in the project was
Frederick, Md. Snow or sleet
or rain or dogs would not
have slowed him on his APP
pointed rounds that first
day.
Just about 80 miles north,
the Battle of Gettysburg
broke out.
Maybe his recollections
will turn up some day.

vious that people are taking
their obligations seriously and
are answering parking ticket
charges.
He said that many in the
habit Of paying their parking
tickets on time have expressed
satisfaction that those who
have ignored. such tickets are
being caught.
Chief Judge John Lewis
Smith. jr.. of the Court OF
General Sessions, established
the scofflaw court last Mon
day to prosecute persons hav-
ing 10 or more outstanding
parking tickets.
Wholesale Practice Halted
Once word Of this new court
got around, persons with tickets
began swapping the Central
Violations Bureau to pay up
BY posting collateral for park
ing tickets before warrants
are issued, people can avoid
paying an extra IS per warrant,
Even so, a person who fails
to post collateral within 12C
hours after the ticket is issued
faces a 100 per cent increase
in the fine.
In the past some persons
have accumulated dozens Of
tickets and come to court in
hope of striking a bargain with
the judge and paying only a
fraction of the total value Of
the accumulated tickets.
Judge Smiths new court put
a stop to this practice. In the
first week of its operation Of
tenders have paid the value Of
each ticket.
The scofflaw court hold,

at 2 pm. daily during the court
week. Persons entering pleas tt
charges are heard at trials helC
at 2 pm. each Thursday.
