A bill 10 block building per.

A bill to block building per-
mits to convert the Capitol
Theater to offices moved out of
a House subcommittee this
morning.
Legislation is aimed at saving
both the Capitol and Keith's
theaters as municipal show
centers. The subcommittee
acted over the objections Of the
District Commissioners, who
claimed the bill was both un-
constitutional and unsound
financially.
The House passed a similar
measure In the last session of
Congress, but the Senate
ignored 1t.
The Capitol is now due to be
converted into offices along
with other space in the National
Press Building at Fourteenth
and F streets NV.
Renovation Bids Due
Bids for the work are ex-
pected to be received by July 80
by the National Press Building
Corp. A corporation spokesman
said q decision on awarding
construction contracts might be
reached next week.
A building permit generally
Is issued after District officials
have reviewed construction
plans.
Representative Widnall, Re-
publican Of New Jersey, spon-
sored the legislation. It's major
provision would require the
District Commissioners to give
Congress, by February is, 1864,
plans for the use of the Capitol
and Keith's, at SIG Fifteenth
street NV, as municipal the
aters or for municipal pur-
poses.
The plans would include
methods of financing acquisi-
ton and operation. Suggested
by Mr.. Widnall were tax re-
auctions for owners, budget
allotments or private and foun-
dalton donations.
Delay Of . Months
IF this bill were enacted to-
day, owners plans would be
delayed almost nine months, I"
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert F. Kneipp told the sub
committee. He claimed this
amounted to deprivation of
property without due process
Of law, with no compensation,
at all, to owners for the delay.
The Commissioners are not
opposed to culture, Mr.. Kneipp
insisted, but they doubt the
wisdom of diverting District
tax money from school, health
and welfare services to the new
theater enterprise.

Youth Held
In Court
Assault

A convicted robber VIII O
stirred up a ruckus at United
States District Court during a
conference with q lawyer has
been held for grand jury action
on an assault charge.
United States Commissioner
Sam Werlich set bond at $4,000
for the defendant, Charles D.
Pouncey, at a hearing yester-
day at which Pouncey appeared
with his hands handcuffed and
chained to a belt.
Pouncey, q husky 18-year-
old, is charged with assaulting
Deputy Marshal Maurice v,
IO'Connell on Tuesday when the
marshal tried to restrain him
in a courthouse conference
room.
Pouncey, an observer said,
had lost his temper, yelled that
he wanted q new lawyer and
started throwing chairs around
lin the conference room before
the marshal moved in to re-
strain him.
The incident occurred during
q conference between Pouncey
and his court-appointed law
yer, Rex Nelson.
Pouncey pleaded guilty to
robbery last summer and was
given a 2-to-7-year sentence.
He filed papers asking the
court to reduce or vacate his
sentence, but Mr.. Nelson told
him Tuesday it was too late for
a reduction and that a new
trial could mean loss Of credit
for time already served.
A story in The Star on Tues
day, based on information pro-
vided by witnesses to the Incl
dent, reported that Pouncey
had attacked Mr.. Nelson.
However, the lawyer later said
Pouncey's actions apparently
expressed his general frustra-
tion rather than anger at any
particular person.

THOUGHTS
 OF A AMMAN
Darwin or Christ

The recapitulation theory is supposed to bolster up the theory of evolution. The gen. eral idea is that in the nine months of gestation, the hu- man fetus goes through all the evolutionary processes, from the humble ameba to homo sapiens. Still it is claimed that it took some 50 million years or more for this process to come to fruition. The scientific fact is that the ameba is asexual, and repro duces itself. The human ov- um by itself is sterile and produces nothing. At no time does the human fetus reSem- ble a lizard, a frog, a bird or a fish. The term "gill slits" is a misnomer. There is no resemblance to the gills of a fish. Gods answer to Dar- win is that there are forty two generations from the first man to Christ. You couldn't inadvertently slip in a frog or a fowl into any of those generations. God breathed into the first Adam a living soul. That is something no beast possesses.
