AT PRESENT, coming reg
ulationS limit the maximum
height of private buildings
to 100 feet, based largely on a
formula related to the width
of the streets on which they
face.
Only five privately owned
buildings exceed this height.
They are the Willard Hotel,
at Fourteenth and Pennsyl-
vania, and the Munsey
Building, at 1929 E street
NV, both 100 feet high;
the National Press Building,
at Fourteenth and F, 40 feet
high; the Raleigh Hotel, at
Twelfth and Pennsylvania,
155 feet; and the Cairo Hotel,
1915 @ street, which rises to
lat feet.
Who would say that any
of these buildings damages
Washington in any way be-
cause its height exceeds the
magic number of 100 feet?
In a city so Impoverished
of visual punctuation marks,
who, indeed, would say that

is not a welcome vertical as
set despite its CRIME and the

Anti Test Asked
On Identical Salt Bids

Mimi, indicted four of the
country's leading rock salt pro-
ducers in 1861 on a charge of
conspiring to fix the price of
rock salt. Mr.. Wesselle said
he understands that the COM
panies we're later acquitted.
However, about the time Of
the indictments the price Of
rock salt dropped sharply.
Both Prices Asked
The District official said thai
in an attempt to get a better
price the city asked for bid
on rock salts at the mine sitt
for the first time this year
as well as offers for the prod.
uct delivered to Washington.
Mr.. Vessels said the low
bid for rock salt delivered tC
Washington was $11.28 a ton
the same price the city is now
paying.
The District official said
that the freight rate to trans
port rock salt here from upper
New York State is approx
mately $5.95 a ton.
Adding the identical offers
Of $40 a ton for the rock
salt at the mines and the $5.95
freight rate results in a total
price Of $12.35 a ton, higher
than the price bid for delivery
of the rock salt to Washington.
Mr.. VESSELS said this indi-
Gates there is apparently no
desire to sell at the mines be-
cause the $40 a ton figure is
obviously high.
II want to find out what is
behind this. I question why
we received identical bids for
rock salt at the mines and
why the price is excessive"

IN THE YEARS since the
1910 act, foSsilized words and
ideas have come to dominate
and make it seem Congress
wanted Washington to be
kept flat like a prairie.
Yet as long ago as 1888,
Congress made clear it was
willing to have big excep-
lions made. In Section 16 Of
the 1888 Zoning Act, Federal
buildings were specifically
exempted from height con-
troll.
The coming act stated:
1.-THE provisions of this act
shall not apply to Federal
buildings; provided, however,
that in order to insure the
orderly development of the
National Capital, the loca-
ton, height, bulk, number Of
stories and size Of Federal
public buildings in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and the
provision for open space in
and around the same, will be
subject to approval Of the
National Capital Planning
Commission.
But the misconception, like
amber, was embedded in
custom and misunderStand-
ing, and had been given a
polish Of pseudo-respect-
ability. AS a result, no over
l30-foot-high Federal build
ings have been proposed and
approved.
Under the circumstances,
1t is fortunate Congress will
have an opportunity to make
its position clear. In a bill
introduced a week ago by
Representative XVI, Republic
can Of Iowa, the Plan
ming Commission is directed
to study the fossilized exist
ing building-height philos-
ophy and come up with
Significant new incentives
for residential and COM
mercial construction"
Such a step, 1t appears, is
long overdue, and one that
is justified on both esthetic
and economic grounds.

Cities
and People
Uneurthine
A Fossil
BY ROBERT J. LEWIS

A LEGENDARY misconcep-
"a ton about Washington
Is that the city'S land is too
Swampy to support high
buildings.
Another equally mistaken
notion is that Congress
doesn't want any building to
rise over 1870 feet.
A third transparency false
idea is that the Capitol
Dome's supremacy on the
skyline demands that the rest
Of the city must squat, spread
out, and eventually encom-
pass all the available open
space.
The most serious of these
misconceptions that have
taken hold is the erroneous
belief that Congress wants
all buildings held to a maxi
mum height of 1870 feet.
The truth is, Congress
never expressed such an idea
in a sense that it should pre-
vail without exception.
Even in the 1910 original
act setting building-height
limitations, Congress speci-
fically stated a 160-foot
height would be satisfactory
for buildings on the north
side Of Pennsylvania avenue.
At one time, Congress even
authorized a building height
Of 1870 feet for one Of the
most elevated areas of Wash
lngIon-noW the site OF the
Hilton Hotel-a limitation
that today would permit
construction of a building
having as many as 20 stories.
Yet in the 43 years since
the building -height-limita-
ton act was first placed on
the statute books, Washing
toms buildings have been
largely forced to huddle, and
not ascend above invisible
barriers who1e highest limit
is 100 feet from the ground.

Three identical bids on rock
salt received by the District
Government are being re-
ported to the Justice Depart
ment antitrust division, q
District official reported yes
terday.
Rexford G. Vessels, city pro-
curement officer, said that he
is also writing to the three
companies to ask why theil
price for this product used to
melt snow and ice on Wash
ington'S streets is so high.
The three identical bids were
for $40 q ton at the mine
sites in upper New York State,
Mr.. Vessels said.
The District official said
that the city had received two
identical bids on this material
last year and that he had re-
ferred these to the Justice De-
partment also, but did not
know of any action that the
department had taken.
viii Delay Award
Mr.. Vessels said that since
the city will need about $4,000
tons of the material this winter
he will not award any contract
until he has had a chance to
study the situation further.
For several years Washington
and other cities across the
country have been complaining
about apparently collusive
practices by the rock-salt in

to last month were court
defendants acquitted because Of
mental illness.
Some "a inmates had walked
off the institutions grounds as
Of August %, the last day for
which a count is available DR..
Dale Cameron, hospital super
intendent said yesterday:
Fifty five Of these were the

who had been acquitted Of mis-
demeanor or felon charges "by
reason Of insanity"
DR.. Cameron, defending the
hospitals record for keeping
track of their patients, said
only a little over ~ per cent
of the total institution popula-
ton of 1900 has managed to
elope, the hospitals term for
its escapes. y
This means we have made
correct judgments on 9834 per
cent of our patients" DR.. Cam
eron said.
Incident Raised Question
The question Of the number
of escapes from the hospital
grounds was raised after an in
mate was charged by Wash
ington police with committing
an immoral act on a 7-year-
old girl within an hour and a
half after he fled from st.
Elizabeths last week.
DR.. Cameron explained that
the hospital has maximum and
medium security facilities for
patients.
When a patient is considered
improved, he is permitted to go
out on ST. Elizabeths grounds
accompanied by a hospital en-
ploye. When the patient has
shown great strides in improv-
ing, he is permitted to walk on
the grounds unaccompanied.
Patients who are nearly well
are permitted to leave the hos
pital over week ends, the super

Europe's View of the Murder

to the eye at present because
Of the customary honeymoon
which follows the advent Of
a new Chief Executive, can
be found in many responsible
European papers. The phrase
that America Is divided by
hatreds Is monotonously re-
peated in editorials and fea-
ture articles.
An element Of what the
Germ ans call "schaden
freude" enjoyment Of the
misfortunes Of others), can
now be detected In editorials
Of many European papers.
They all point out that after
the emotional period in Am
erica is over, President john
son will be faced with the
same troublesome problems
which surged in the last year
of the Kennedy admins
tration-if not more; that
America, after the New Year,
may enter a period Of serious
crises. And the conclusion of
some Of the editorials is that
under these circumstances
the johnson administration
may have to turn sharply
from the attitude which
characterized the Kennedy
foreign policy Of the last two
years, that Is, telling our al
lies do as we tell you or
else"
Not that the Europeans do
not need q strong America.
They realize that Americas
strength continues to remain
the shield Of Europe. But. as
one editorial puts it. "a less
cocky attitude from Wash
ington" will prove that Am
erica Is q better and more
understanding member Of
the NATO.
But II the American image
Is to carry weight abroad,
