Apartments, 1900 F street NV,
for conversion to q women's
residence hall for 1000 stu

Or. Thomas H. Carroll, uni

building will be extensively
renovated. It now contains 317
apartments.
Purchase and alterations of

students.
The new residence hall to be
opened in September, 1864. will
include a dining hall to ac-
commodate 400 students at a
sitting.
The additional residence IA
cilities will meet "a need clearly
evidenced by the national and
international character Of our
student body" DR.. Carroll said.

Gentry that he had no power
to conduct a sanity hearing
after the trial. He said the only
avenue available to the Govern
ment was commitment through
a civil procedure.
The Government argued that
the Supreme Court had stated
in the case of Lynch VS.. Over
holser 1882 that a Judge
could conduct a hearing i'm
mediately after the trial to de-
termine the defendants cur
rent mental condition after
finding him not guilty by rea-
son Of insanity.
On June %, answering an
appeal filed by the Govern
ment, the D. c. Court of APP
peals ruled that the Supreme
Court had given Judge Smith
the right to hold the post
trial sanity hearing under the
Lynch decision. and ordered
that 1T be carried out.
Yesterday, 81 days after As
Sistant United States Attorney
Paul A. Renne asked for an
immediate hearing, Mr.. Timber
appeared before Judge Kelly.
The Judge found that the tes-
timony given by psychiatrists
did not support a charge that
Mr.. Timber was Of unsound
mind.
In the Lynch case the
Supreme Court ruled that If
a defendant does not raise a
defense Of insanity, a judge
cannot automatically commit
him to an institution, but the
Government can ask for an
immediate hearing. II the de-
PENDANT does rely on an in
sanity defense, the Judge can

to the Rambler that the old
trunk had been saved. He
had first noticed it in the
1930s. 1t seemed Just as re-
markable that some new
highway had not cut across
its resting place. Despite the
heat, he decided to poke into
Annapolis and try a little
research. Leaving, he noticed
a highway sign said, "Annap-
oils 4 Miles," next to the
Three Mile Oak.
The Chamber Of Commerce
referred him to the "Old
Treasury Building" built in
1875, and located down a
slope from the State House.
It was cool inside. on the
old bricks, but a young girl,
passing out folders on his
torjc Annapolis, looked
blankly at the Rambler when
he asked for information on
the oak tree.
A nice lady in the Public
Library-formerly Reynolds
Tavern, built in l737-said
she had once tried to find
out something about the old
oak tree without luck. But
she passed out some old
books on Annapolis and
Anne Arundel County. There
was no evidence as to when
the tree had been saved, or
burned.
Dropping the whole prof.
ect, the Rambler drove down
to the Naval Academy and
watched the midshipmen
going through the manual
of arms in 90-degree heat.
Two drummers beat an end
less cadence under an avn
ing. A slight breeze came in
off the bay.

bier guessed, would have
preferred 10 be doing re-
search on the Three Mile

sone of the more astonish-

The Rambler started won

driving down the old Gen.

George Washington came
down 1t to resign his COM
mission, in Annapolis, as
Commander Chief of the
Continental Army.
1t was effortleSS to wonder
about all kinds of things in
1868. A road grader was up
ahead moving about 20 miles
an hour and a State trooper
brought up the rear of our
caravan. You are not per-
mitted to pass, except for a
few stretches Of highway, on
the old road. So the process
sion moved along slowly over
the hot, rolling countryside
and the Rambler decided to
see If the tree was still there.
At the intersection with
the Defense Highway the
Rambler barely made out the
the tree, partially obscured
now by a flock of highway
signs. He pulled off the road
and then went up to have a

of model glue would cripple his
industry.
Mr.. Blyler of Boston, also
said that if youngsters could
no longer get glue they would
turn to many other household
products which also have fumes
that can produce intoxication.
He suggested that instead, of
adopting the regulation now
being considered, the District
should approve an order similar
to that passed in Anaheim,
Calf. The Anaheim regulation,
he said, makes intoxication by
inhalation of chemical fumes a
misdemeanor.
Would Require Register
The proposed District regula-
ton would require a, store
owner to keep a register of
all persons who buy two or
more tubes of model glue and
would ban the sale of this
product to any youngSter under
Is who does not have parental
consent. A maximum penalty
of a $500 fine or ten days in

Deputy Police Chief John E.
Winters, head of the youth
division, said that the glue
shifting problem is now wide
spread in Washington.
He said that children who
inhale the glue fumes become
giddy or intoxicated and some
times commit crimes while
under the influence.

Eligibility Queried
On Adams-Morgan
Renewal Prober
Coils Figures
Contradictory
By ROBERT J. LEWIS
Star staff Writer

A House District subcommit-
tee today questioned the eligi-
bility of the Adams Morgan
area for urban renewal treat
ment because of "contradic-
tory figures on substandard
housing in the area.
Resuming its inquiry into
the Districts renewal activities,
the subcommittee heard a city
official testify that his surveys
found very few" structurally
unsound buildings when plan
ming began about four years
ago.
The official, Frederick w.
Mallon, superintendent of the
Districts Housing Division,
said 205 dwellings were. in
some respects, Gin violation of
the housing code" but few were
structurally unsound.
Representative SiSk, Demo-
crat of California, said he was
confused over how a report
of the National Capital Plan
ming Commission, In spite of
the Districts survey. had found
"a per cent of the buildings
"structurally unsound."
Different Standard?
Did they (the planning
commiSsion) use a different
standard of determining struc-
tural defects than the District
uses?" Mr.. Sisk asked.
. That is possible. yes" Mr..
Mallon replied.
In contrast to POS houses in
the Adams Morgan area which
the District found to be not
entirely in compliance with
the housing code, the trea was
determined to be eligible for
renewal action partly on the
basis of a planners report
stating that 315 homes were
beyond repair, Subcommittee
Chairman Dowdy said.
MIR. Dowdy then asked Mr..
Mallon whether he could ac-
count for the contradiction be-
tween the Districts figures and
those of the planning commits
sion. s.-..-
81 can't, sir, If the basis was
the code of the District Of
Columbia" he said.
Cites Basis
In later testimony, Phil A.
Doyle, executive director of the
Redevelopment Land Agency,
told the subcommittee the re-
newal process was based more
broadly than on the physical
deterioration Of individual
houses.
The renewal official said
legislation is based funda-
mentally on the concept that
representatives of the people
will know what is meant by q
definition of a blighted or de-
teriorating area and, acting on
that knowledge, will take the
steps required by law to do
what they can do within the
financial relocation and other
resources available in the COM
munity to eliminate the blight
and the deteriorating factors
in q particular area of the
community"
In making their decision, he
said, the District Commits
sioners will not find the answer
to whether renewal should be
applied to the Adams Morgan
area in percentages of one
factor or another"
They must decide whether
the conditions in the area,
taken together. constitute a
hazard to the public welfare"

IT is NOT A TREE" It is
a trunk, gnarled and twisted
and hollow and held to-
gether by ruSted iron bands.
1t may be about six feet high
and two or three feet across.
There are no branches. At
one point, it was badly
Burned. 1t looks like a
chhrred old Yule log propped
up on one end.
Somebody possibly a
whimsical relative-had
pointed out the trunk to the
Rambler years ago and said
it stood on the spot where
George Washington had sat
and rested in the shade dur
ing one Of his frequent trips
either to or from Annapolis.
But an inscription on the
concrete slab pinned the in
cident down. 1t can be read
despite a luxuriant patch Of
poison ivy and some strong,
unidentified weeds.
It reads:
Trunk of the Three Mile
Oak. Under this tree passed
General George Washington
December 10, 1888, on his
way to Annapolis to resign
his commission as Comman-
der-in-Chief of the CONT
mental Armies and 1t Is
thought that General Small
wood accompanied by Cen
eral Gates and distinguished
citizens of Annapolis met
General Washington at this
spot"
1t was not recorde d
whether the General sat
down, or slept briefly, or
said anything or had to wait
for the distinguished citizens
only that he passed I'M

There was, however, the
notation that the trunk had
been erected" by the Rotary
Club of Annapolis although
no date was given.
