. Giles Case

tending the hearing only as an
observer)
When Gov. Tawes was told by
defense attorneys that the fact
of the 16-year.old girls being on
probation was not brought out
to the jury, he demanded to
know why a probation officer
was not summoned to court to
testify.
Attorney Stedman Prescott,
Jr., court-appointed defense
lawyer for the Giles brothers,
said he had tried to present
such evidence but it was denied
to us" because it involved rec.
ords of juvenile court.
Attorney Hal Witt, who en-.
tered the case after the Giles
brothers were convicted and
sentenced, spelled out what he
called IAN extraordinary amount
Of new evidence" in the case
indicating the girl who made the
complaint has a long record Of
sexual promiscuity.
why was no testimony
brought out at the trial as to
her general reputation for
chastity and immorality?" the
governor also asked when he
was told the girl once admitted
to a Prince Georges County
detective she had had intimate
relations with more men that
she could remember since she
was IA.
Attorney Witt explained what
he called the difficulty of
bringing this out at a trial" He
said people are reluctant to
testify about such things" add
ing: what you can present in
court on this under Maryland
law is very limited.
At one point, Attorney Gen.
eral Finan declared that a pro-
baton report before sentencing
would have brought out much
of the new evidence about the
girls character. He was in.
formed by Attorney Witt that
Judge Pugh had not asked for
such a probation report.

agreement with the defense

Senator J. Glenn Beall (R-

to join him in establishing a Sc

sale of wheat to Soviet Russia.
The resolution, which was in
troduced after President Ken

Thomas ]. Dodd (D-Conn.).

not revealed any communication

At one point, Gov. Tawes
declared: We've heard a lot
about the girl and her character
but let's hear something about
the boys" He then read excerpts
from a Maryland State Police
report showing John Giles had
once been convicted of house
breaking and being drunk and
Johnson had been convicted of
being disorderly, drunk and as.
sault and battery, He conceded
James Giles did not have a cri-
minal record.
Observers at the hearing were
almost unanimous in the belief
that the governor will not allow
the three to be executed. From
the governors apparent hostil-
ity, however, it was believed by
many that he is thinking in
terms of committing the three
death sentences to life imprison-
ment.
He gave no concrete indica-
ton of what he would do, how
ever, noting at the end of the
two,hour hearing that he would
probably decide what to do by
Oct. rs, the day Johnson is
scheduled to die. II he has not
decided by then, he said, he will
issue a stay of execution for
Johnson to postpone his death
until the final decision affecting
all three defendants is made.

mer, 6029 Avon Drive, declare:
ANY rezoning of Wildwood
Manor, other than to rezone for
play areas (which we need very
badly would be bad faith on
the part of the developer, and
also on the part of the County
Council"
Among m any Wildwood
Manor homeowners who say
they would not have bought
homes in the subdivision if they
had suspected Aubinoe would
introduce high-rise zoning there
is Eugene B. Smith, 10404 Farm
ham Drive, who wrote:
"The current effort of the con.
tractor to have the northwest
corner reclassified to permit the
building of high.rise apartments
appears to us to be a breaking
of the trust we placed in the
representations made two years
ago"
Protests Robert w. King, 5000
Cheshire Drive: '"The sole bene.
ficiary of high-rise apartments
in Wildwood Manor would be
the builder. This is the same
gentleman who sold us the
homes we now live in!
IF he had indicated in any
way that he wished to build
high.rise apartments in this
area he most certainly could not
have sold his houses to very
many of the present owners"

Continued from All

Cahoon will speak tonight de-
fend official planners argu-
ments that the rezoning is con.
trary to the master plan for
North Bethesda-G Garrett Park
and vicinity adopted in May,
1862, by a previous Council.
Cahoon noted that Republican
planning board member Louis
A. Gravelle prepared a special
opinion concurring with the
board in this case, saying no re-
zoning should be favored unless
there was an error in the master
plan or a change in the charac-
ter of the neighborhood since
its adoption.
In recommending the Council
deny the Aubinoes' application,
the planners stressed the prop
erty is completely surrounded
by single-family homes except
for a small parcel to the north
west of Interstate Route 70.S
and Old Georgetown Road still
zoned rural.
"In order to justify a change
to R-H it would be necessary
to show that major employment,
shopping and transportation
facilities are available in close
proximity to the Site" said the
planning staff.
'In this case, the nearest
shopping facilities consist prin-
cipally of the small Wildwood
Center nearby, designed to
serve a small single-family area
rather than one of a high dens-
ity, areas on Rockville Pike over
mile to the north and the
Bethesda business district some
three miles to the SOUTH"
Highway access to the pro-
posed high-rise development
also would be limited, the plan
ners said.
with a possible $50 apart
ments being built on the site,
this would create most un-
desirable traffic situation" they
said, maintaining the property
should be retained in its present
zoning 80 that development of
the fine quality homes which
now occupy the rest of the sub
division can be continued and
completed"
Individual area resident have
loaded the county Department
of Inspection and Licenses
folder on the case with protests
covering aspects of the rezoning
which range from the possible
influx of hundreds of cliff
dweller-type individuals degrad-
ing the peace and tranquility of
the subdivision" to inability of
narrow streets without side
walks to bear increased traffic.
II have no objection to the
developer of Wildwood Manor
continuing to make an adequate
profit on his subdivision" wrote
one householder, "but only on
the basis of the implicit under
standing that this subdivision
will be devoted to single-family
homes"

zoning it will be clear to all

No one at the White House
