Hammel's Restaurant, at AIS

just before lunch time today
by its union cooks, walters and

Constantine Ossi, a partner
in the 60-year-old restaurant,
said the restaurant would re-

Louis ]. Hammel, of the
founding family, said that the
company's 10 regular en-
ployes were all union mem,
bers but that six Of them haC
not gone on strike.
The strike was called after
the collapse of negotiation,
which had gone on since the
union contract expired on Feb.
ruary %. The sole issue, said
the management, was whether
the contract was to be for one
or two years, with manage
ment insisting on two years.
But Samuel Levine, attorney
for the union, said the man.
agement had proposed a salary
reduction, shorter vacations
and elimination of some health
and welfare provisions which
had been contained in the ex-
pired contract.

amount Of the $4,000 claim

all the $500 asked by the
Horners for lost rental income
from their cottage for the 1862
season. 1t cut to $4,000 the
81, 1865 they had asked for
loss of furnishings and per-
Sonal possessions.
In each category, the jury
answered affirmitively a ques-
ton posed by Judge Layton
asking a decision as to whether
the plaintiffs proved by a fair
prepondefance of the evidence
that their property was COM
pletely Destroyed or partially
damaged solely by direct force
of the wind.
The verdict for the Horners
came after the case had been
in the hands Of the jury for
about four hours and in the
ninth day of the trial. This
was the second trial of the case.
The jury in the first trial last
June was unable to agree.
During the trial, eyewitnesses
testified that the Horner cot
tage appeared unchanged late
on March 6, 1862. and was en-
tirely gone at $3.50 am. the
next morning, when the ocean
was not coming through or over
the dune on which the cottage
had stood.

4 Mile BeItwoy Link
Is Opened Quietly
BY ANNE CHRISTMAS
Star Staff Writer

Without even the shipping of
a ribbon to mark the occasion,
"a vital 4-mile link of the
Capt. beltway was opened this
afternoon from River road to
North Bethesda.
The simple removal of some
road barriers was the only GER
emory necessary to open the
four-lane dual highway to traf-
fic.
The Maryland State Roads
Commission was so involved in
yesterdays formal opening by
President Kennedy of the long
er and more glamorous North
eastern expressway, beyond
Baltimore, that the b eltway
escaped official notice.

entire beltway opens in July,

Today's opening makes 1t
possible for Maryland-b o u n d
motorists to cross the Potomac
River at Cabin John Bridge
and drive directly to the North
Bethesda area. where there are
cut-offs for either Rockville or
Bethesda traffic.
The 3-mile trip from River
road to Old Georgetown road,
as seen at a sneak preview
yesterday, took exactly three
minutes. Another 1-mile Sec
ton, which connects the belt
way to Route 240, also known
as Interstate 70-S, was only a
matter of a few moments
even though the road still was
filled with heavy equipment
adding ast-minute touches for
today's opening.
Motorists heading for Fred

The high court sent back tn
the Prince Georges County Cir

require the admission of Ne
groes in the private club. The
Circuit Court had ruled against
the suit. However, the Court
OF Appeals instructed it to con-
duct further proceedings mot

vate organization, but uses

Still another small link of
the beltway, the section be-
tween Old Georgetown road
and Wisconsin avenue at the
Pook's Hill interchange, will
open in about two weeks, but
in only one direction west
bound. Opening of the east
bound portion will be delayed
until the beltway between Wis.,

two months ago so it could
be rebuilt to meet Federal
standards.
When the last link of the
beltway, through North Chevy
Chase and Rock Greek Park is
completed next year, the Silver
Spring interchange will be
about 10 to IL minutes from
Cabin John Bridge-contrasted
with the winding, traffic-laden
byways now available, which
require about 80 minutes for
the trip.
With the opening Of the
southwest link from Route 240,
north south through traffic
can bypass Washington and
the close-in suburbs of Mary
land and Virginia. The belt
way in Virginia already is in
use between the Cabin John

Youth Is Ordered Held
In Playground Staying

A 17-year-old companion of
Larry A. Peay, II. who was
found dead on the Park View
Playground last Sunday, was
ordered held today for juvenile
court action in the death.
A coroner's jury heard testi-
mony in the case and held that
the juvenile boy was RESPONSE
BILE and should face court &C.
ton.
Young Peay, of TAB Rock
Greek Church road NV, was
found dead Sunday morning
from 10 stab wounds in his
chest, abdomen, sides and back.
According to the coroner'S re-
port, any of IL of the wounds
would have been enough to
cause death.
Sword Reproduction
Detective Ronald NJ. Banta
testified that the defendant
told him that the Peay youth
pulled the knife during an ar
gument over marijuana ciga-
rettes. But Detective Banta
said that a sheath matching
the weapon has been recovered
from the home of the defend
ant.
He described it as a 5-inch
long reproduction of an elabo-
rate Oriental sword.
Detective Banta said the
defendant and an older youth
had freely admitted being on

The
Rambler
Leurns
OF ABCs
By JOHN McKELWAY

There is a modest exhibit
at the Library Of Congress
which does little more than
suggest the history of ABC
books.
But it proved of interest to
the Rambler who has found
ABC books easily under
stood and usually full Of
bright illustrations. They
are certainly preferable to
Look at Jane" stories and
of interest to see what the
latest author has decided
"a" stands for.
The first illustrated chill
dren's book, for children Of
the Western World, was
turned out in Nuremberg,
Germany, in 1858. A rather
labored, blotchy sketch of a
wolf appears near the word
wolf" for example, and it
would not be surprising to
learn German readers of that
period suffered from eye
strain.
But it was not, apparently,
until 1850 that a book was
produced for children to use
all by themselves. They
could carry it around and
take it to bed. 1t was called
the Horn" book. Included
was the alphabet and the
Lords Prayer, written by
hand on a piece of parch-
ment and covered, for pro-
lection, with a piece Of
transparent horn-still a
pretty good idea.

VIII. Dyer
Honored for
Aid to Blind

William H. Dyer, a founder
Of the Washington Society for
the Blind, was honored yester-
day for rs years of service on
the board of directors at a tes-
timonial luncheon at the May
flower Hotel.
Senator Randolph, Democrat
Of West Virginia, who as a
Congressman in 1885 sponsored
legislation e bling vending
stands for the blind that Mr..
Dyer helped make a reality
here, praised Mr.. Dyer as "a
constructive champion of the
sightless."
In 1888. the year the society
was incorporated, Mr.. Dyer
borrowed money under his own
signature to further the socie-
tvs activities, Senator Ran
dolph said.
Gross So Million
Today, there are about 80
vending stands in Federal and
non-Federal buildings in til e
District, utilizing the skills of 80
blind persons, Senator Ran
dolph said. Their annual gross
business during this fiscal year
is close to So million, with net
profits to the operators of more
than 100000, he said.
1t is estimated that there are
at least 200 other blind persons
employed in the District whose
combined incomes approximate
81 million.
A total of 2,425 operators are
employed in the United States
under the provisions of the
Vending Stand Act, Senator
Randolph said.
Scroll Awarded
Mr.. Dyer, a native of Wash
ington, is executive vice presi-
dent of the Perpetual Building
Association.
He was awarded a scroll by
j. Leo Lynch, chairman of the
Commissioners Committee for
the Employment of the Physi-
cally Handicapped. Three hun
dred persons attended the
luncheon.
