One student came to DR..

that prevented him from abb

Behind this appeared to be
a rebellious refusal to accept
financial help from his family
which forced him to keep a

WIN life lose its variety and
excitement2 VIII, In fact, ev-
erything be the same?
One Of the current voices
having an opinion on this
matter is Constantinos A.
Doxiadis. He is an energetic
and eloquent modern Greek
architect who probably has
a larger reputation around
the world as a city planner
than anyone else.
In a book published the
other day ("Archltecture in
Transition; Oxford Univer-
sity Press, $3.50, Mr.. Doxi-
ads appears to argue that
the more things become the
same-in cities, at Ieast-the
more different and better,
they can be made.
His term for the trend to-
wards universally is not cos
mopolitanism, but "ecumen-
ic," from the Greek word
"oikoumenikos," meaning the
inhabited world, or world
wide in extent.
Present trends prove be-
yond doubt that we are in
fact moving towards an ecu

writes.
This will first become
consistent within itself; it
will then acquire its own
ecumenic character, and may
at length develop into q uni
versal style.

Cities
and People
Toward q
CosmopOIis?
By ROBERT J. LEWIS

MoNG THOSE special
characteristics Of our
age which cannot be counted
on to last very long is the
spectacular diversity Of
many aspects Of life. An
other generation or so hence,
one can suspect. there viii be
fewer contrasts between
people, nations, things to
see and ways to do things.
For, it appears, an inev-
table sameness is showing
signs Of overtaking the world
and everything within 1t,
holding customs, social and
political organization, educa-
ton, art and thought into an
Increasingly universal pat
tern.
In the last generation, the
image Of Africa has changed
from that Of a continent in
which wild beasts roamed by
the millions to q land Of a
dwindling number Of game
preserves, with complete ex-
tinction Of numerous species
rapidly approaching.
In country after country,
economic, racial and social
gradations are now being
smoothed over, national and
regional traits are being sub
merged, even exotic foods,
separate languages, local d.
alects, and modes of dress
are giving way to less indi-
vidually distinctive forms.
This drift towards univer-
sal sameness could be de-
scribed as q trend toward
politanism-from the
Greek word "kosmos," mean
ing world, and polls" mean
Ing city-a trend whose full
achievement might envision
the world as a single, largely
undifferentiated city, or cos
mopolis.

Pistol Clue in
Powers Case
Seek to Connect
Sluying, Womun's
Purchase of Gun

Alexandria police presse q
last night for a solution to the
mystery Staying Of Robert F
Powers. shot to death in his
home In the Old Town section
Of the city 10 days ago.
The police were working late
hours to determine whether
there Is any connection be-
tween the Staying and the pur-
chase Of q .22-caliber auto
matte pistol by q mystery wom-
an earlier last month.
Results of ballistic tests by
the FBI to determine whether
the pistol could be linked to the
Staying have not been disclosed.
A .22-caliber slug was recov-
cred from Mr.. Powers body.
The pistol, a foreign-made
weapon, was found Wednesday
on q Potomac River mudflat
about four blocks from the vic
TINS home at 207 South Royal
street.
Drought Reveals Gun
Police said the weapon might
never have been found If the
record drought in the area had
not lowered the river level so
sharply.
The pistol was traced to the
N. F. Strobe Gun Works. 54O4
Marlboro pike, Coral Hills, Nd.
where it had been sold on Oc-
tober 8 to a woman who appar-
emily pretended she was some
one else, police reported.
The purchaser, police said,
used a photostatic copy of the
birth certificate Of Miss Ann L.
McKelleget Of Alexandria, who
police described as one of the
closest friends Of Mrs. Rose
mary Powers, wife Of the victim.
Police said the Maryland gun
dealer has emphatically stated
that Miss McKelleget was not
the purchaser. But the police
d decline d to say whether the
gun dealer has identified the
purchaser.
Shot In Head
Mr.. Powers, father Of five
children and supervisor of an
electronics draftin g team at
the Radio Corp. Of America,
was found dying of a gunshot
wound in the head early on the
morning Of October %.
Mrs. Powers told police she
heard q humping" noise
s shortly after 5 am, went
downstairs and found her hus-
bands body in the combination
dining room-television den. Po-
lice found no weapon at the
scene. They. recovered Mr..

From the membership line
up. it appears that Senator
Byrd stands an excellent
chance of winning his fight
against expanding the program

priations Committee acts on

should lose in committee or on

would still face action in the

ate conference COMMITTEES.
Junior Village Action
Senator Byrd, whose investi-
cations have revealed wide
spread relief roll cheating in
Washington, is opposed to cas-
ing the Neutrality-suspicious. rule.
He also argues that the city's
unemployment rate is too low
to justify extending the well
fare program, and that the
joblesS should be taken care Of
under the Districts unemploy-
ment compensation regulations.
Spending proposals Endorsed
by the subcommittee included
appropriations to cut back on
the Junior Village population

Funds for the schools in
cluded money to hire 1888 class
room teachers-44 more than
the Commissioners had re-
quested-to reduce the pupil
teacher ratio figures.
The Commissioners also had
asked for only enough money
to hire four teachers for Sc
verely retarded children. The
subcommittee. however, voted
to hire IS teachers.

The action by the subcom-

Friday afternoon, was a victory
for the chairman, Senator Rob-

Virginia.
The subcommittee approved
spending proposals for the
city totaling 1914 million for
the current fiscal year.
Some Budget Boosts
The District Commissioners
budget proposals total S326.7
million. The House. which had
before 1t only part Of the city's
spending requests, has voted
for a $2S5 million budget.
While rejecting expansion of
the aid-to- Observation-Disclosures
program, the Byrd subcommit-
tee voted to increase spending
for several major welfare prof.
ects, including improvements
at the city's overcrowded Jun
Tor Village institution for de-
pendent youngsters.
Boosts in spending to fl
nance a number Of school and
health programs also are car

Upkeep of Competing
Floors Police Chiefs

A top-echelon investigation
Is afoot at Washington Police
Headquarters, and, frankly, it's
a bit Of a shocker.
There were some who sug-
gested the whole matter should
be quietly swept under the rug,
but the top brass knew better.
Chief Robert v. Murray and
Deputy Chief Howard v. Covell
have thrown themselves into
the affair heart and sole.
The problem involves the
thick, plush. wall-to-wall car
pet that was installed recently
in the chiefs adjoining offices
on the fifth floor. It is a GER
tain shade Of blue, described
variously as royal, ultramarine,
cerulean, Tyrolean and patrol
man-shirt.
Track in Dirt
In any case. the carpeting is |
indisputably q thing Of beauty,
and the chiefs treasure it.
Which Is where the trouble
comes in.
It seems whenever captains
or inspectors or other types of
gumshoe come-plodding In to
report to the chief, their feet
track In dirt and wax from the
uncarpeted corridors and outer
offices. In no time at all, the
beautiful blue carpet is covered
with grayish-white footprints.
There was some thought of
