II Alexandra
Properties Bought
For Housing Site

The Alexandria Redevelop-
ment and Housing Authority
has acquired IL properties val
ued at $102,800 for a site on
which it will construct a series
of public housing units Of Colo
NAL design.
Stanley King, the authority's
attorney, has announced he
plans to file petitions in the
Circuit Court to condemn eight
other properties on whose price
the owners and the authority
have not agreed.
The court probably will hear
the petitions in mid-March.
Barring complications, the au-
thority will advertise for bids
for construction on the one
and-a-half-block site about
April /, according to Executive
Director John Y. Kerr.
Seventeen residential build
ings and two commercial struc-
lures will be demolished by
early June and the Colonial
townhouses-believed to be the
first such public housing units
in the Nation-will be ready
for occupancy about May, 1865,
according to tentative plans.
Mr.. Kerr said the authority
hopes to relocate the families
living there while bids are
being submitted so construction
will not be delayed. Most of the
20 families now on the site are
eligible for public housing.
The SIG million, 90-unit pro-
ject is planned for Negro fami-
lies who will be displaced by
municipal improvement pro-
grams. The project site lies be-
tween Madison and wythe
streets, adjacent to the city's|
Negro high school, Parker
Gray.

Morse, Gruening Ask
Congress Check Of GA

he was proposing creation of
a congressional watchdog group
on CHA operations.
II, too, have been disturbed
for a long time about the I'M
checked power of the CIA,'
Senator Morse said.
He contended it is not safe
in a democracy, to have any
agency clothed with vast pow
ers over which Congress has
no check. The CHA long has
resisted congressional efforts
to look into its operations.
Senator Morse said state
ments have been made that
the Appropriations Committees
of Congress do have some
check on what CHA is doing,
but he understands this is not
correct. He said Congress is
"ducking its responsibility" by
not setting up a watchdog
group to keep an eye on CHA
Senator Morse said it is "the
ugly fact we have a creeping
police state power developing
within this democracy" anc
that Congress should treat il
as it would a cancer.
Senator Gruening said CIA
is described as a finder OF
facts, rather than a maker Of
policy, but he expressed doubt
about this. He said CHA has
been notably unsuccessful al
a factfinder," particularly in

tertainment field from now on.
But he wished the gambling
industry good luck IN parting
Casinos. he said. make jobs for
entertainers and he's all for
them.
Mr.. Sinatra announced yes
terday he would not fight an
attempt by the Nevada Gaming
Commission to revoke his IL
cense. He said he had been
planning to pull out for several
months.
The commission had been
seeking to revoke Mr.. Sinatra'sI
| license on grounds that he en-
tertained underworld figure
Sam Giancana at Mr.. Sinatra's
Cal-Neva lodge in Lake Tahoe.
Mr.. Sinatra's attorney, Har-
ny Claiborne, asked the gam
ing commission in a letter yes
Iterday to terminate the singers
/ license, adding that he was
withdrawing from the gaming
industry.
Considered Admission
The singers withdrawal was
expected to end further action
by the commission, although
technically it still could pro-
cede.
mo useful purpose would be
served by my devoting my time
and energies convincing the
Nevada gaming officials that I
should be part Of their gam
bling industry" Mr.. Sinatra
said in a statement issued here
yesterday. The singer was in.
New York.
A commission spokesman
said Mr.. Sinatra's failure to
respond to the commissions
charges shall constitute an
admission Of all matters and
facts contained in the COM
plant.
"In such cases." the spokes-
man said, "the commission may
take action based upon such
admission or upon any other
evidences and without any
further notices whatever to re-
spondent (Sinatra)."
Rights Waived
BY failing to file q notice Of
defense, Mr.. Sinatra valves all
rights to both a hearing be-
fore the commission and any
judiciary review Of the COM
missions decision.
The gaming control board
had asked the State Gaming
Commission. its parent organi-
zation, to revoke MIR. Sinatra's
gaming license at Cal-Neva and
to force him to give up his 3
per cent interest In the Sands
Hotel in Las Vegas.
Mr.. Sinatra's interest In CAL
Neva was estimated at So mil
lion. his Sands Hotel holdings
at about $3s0.0O0.
The five-count charge was
filed in Carson City September
III. Mr.. Sinatra later was Civ
en- until yesterday to reply to
the charges or risk losing his

Decision on Loughlin
MistrioI Due Today

District Court Judge Luther
W. Youngdahl will decide today
whether he viii declare a mis-
trial IN the perjury trial Of
James J. Laughlin, one of
Washington's best-known Grim
inal lawyers.
The trial was halted abruptly
yesterday afternoon after the
Governments star Witness
Baltimore policewoman - indi-
Gated she had not voluntarily
placed telephone calls to Mr..
Laughlin which we're recorded
by the United States attorneys
office.
Mr.. Laughlin Is charged with
falsely telling q grand jury last
March that he never talked by
phone with the polieewoman,
Mrs. Bernice Gross.
The Governments principal
evidence so far has been the
tape recorded conversations
that were made in the office
Of United States Attorney David
c. Acheson, where Mrs. Gross
called from to Mr.. Laughlin
in his law office. The Jury
heard several Of these tapes
yesterday.
After the tapes were played
and Mr.. Laughlin, doing his
own croSs-examination, ques-
toned Mrs. Gross as to why
she made the calls, Judge
Youngdahl ordered Assistant
United States Attorney Joseph
A. Lowther to submit a brief
today on the question Of her
voluntariness.
Tentative Conclusion
obviously, If I come to the
conclusion as I have tenta-
lively now, that the consent
wasn't voluntarily given, I will
have to discharge the Jury
Judge Youngdahl said.
The Judge questioned Mrs
Gross voluntariness in placing
the calls after she told Mr.
Laughlin, during his cross
examination, that she felt she
had to cooperate in permitting
these telephone calls to be
made"
Judge Youngdahl sent the
jury out of the courtroom ano
added: What did you mean
by that?"
II thought it would be
best for me-" Mrs. Gross an

possible action the grand jury
