Silence Burs
Conviction in
Assault Case

The United States Court Of
Appeals today threw out q
conviction for assault with in
tent to rape because the de-
PENDANT. although he tore the
woman's nightgown, did not
speak to the victim.
Judge George T. Washington
ruled that the defendant,
william A. Baber. should have
been acquitted because evidence
was lacking that he had the
purpose TO carry into effect
this intent ito rape) with force
and against the consent Of the
female"
Judge Washington said the
case law states three necessary
conditions which must be
proved in q charge Of assault
with intent TO rape: An assault;
an intent TO have carnal
knowledge Of the female. and
q purpose TO carry into effect
this intent with force.
He held there was clear
evidence Of assault and intent
10 have carnal knowledge but
no evidence Of an intent To
force the victim.
The court affirmed the ac-
companying conviction for
HOUSEKEEPING. but vacated
Baber's jail sentence Of from
three 10 nine years. Judge
Washington noted that the
sentence was q general one
which covered both counts ana
that. considering the reversal,
there is an uncertainty that
the trial Judge would have i'm
posed the sentence II Baber
had been convicted solely for
HOUSEKEEPING.
Circuit Judges Charles Fahy
and John A. Danaher concurred.

Parking Meter Pact
Declared inDefauIt
VunduI-P
Units Also Held
CoIIection-Proof
BY CHARLES ID. PIERCE
Star staff Writer

An $s4,75O contract for the
Districts first vandal proof
parking meters has been de-
clared in default and the daily
penalty which can be charged
against the contractor has now
climbed to $4,000, city Off
cial said today.
Rexford G. Vessels. District
purchasing officer, said that
the first shipment Of 500 meters
has been rejected because the
machines proved to be not only
vandal-proof but also virtually
collection-proof.
He said that the contractor
is still trying to remedy the
defects in the meters and the
special "no-hands" collection
system provided by the con-
tract.
Provides Penalty
Mr.. Vessels said that the
contract provides a penalty Of
81 a day for each meter that
does not meet contract speci-
fications. He added that the
penalty period began May 81
and that the contractor is still
trying to fix the machines and
the collection system.
This is the most serious
problem we have had on any
product sold to the city in a
long time" Mr.. Vessels said.
The District purchasing Of
ficer said that he and repre-
sentatives of three other city
agencies are making a special
trip to Baltimore today to
check on the experience there
with vandal-proof parking
meters supplied by the COM
pany Washington is buying
from.
Thefts Were Costly
The District made its first
purchase Of vandal-proof park
ing meters recently because
thefts from conventional
meters was costing the city a
substantial amount Of money.
4 Mr.. Vessels said that he
has two possible courses Of ac-
ton on the new meters bought
by the District.
I'VE can allow the contrac-
tor to 60 ahead and correct the
meters and then collect the
damages for the delay or we
can collect the damages and
then buy all the meters from
another company"

D. G. Tunnel
Found Ideal


District civil defense officials
examined the Dupont Circle
streetcar tunnel today and de-
cided It would make an ideal
shelter in case Of a nuciear
attack.
George r. Rodericks, director
of the District Office Of Civil
Defense, after walking the 1000
feet Of the abandoned tunel.
said he felt that the tunnel
fulfilled all his expectations.
He was accompanied by
Douglas A. McAllister, adviser
to the d, c. Health Department
on Civil Defense. Mr.. McAllister
said the tunnel appeared to be
suitable also for q 200-bed,
emergency package hospital.
The hospital, weighing Is
tons. would be used If area
hospitals became overloaded.
The hospital would be movable
ia case It proved more feasible
to expand the facilities Of al
existing hospital.
Mr.. McAllister said the tenn
perature Of the tunnel in winter
would have to be determined
Mellow freezing temperatures
might destroy drugs, he said.
The $4,000 hospital would be
leased to the District by the
Public Health Service.
The tunnel itself, with few
changes. said Mr.. Roderieks,
would house 1.704 persons. This
number could be expanded to
$500, he said. II $4,000 to
$4,000 were spent on an air
filter system. s. +
The cost could be, substan-
tally less if surplus units were
used. he added.
According to the civil defense
director. plans for sealing up
the vehicle entrances to the
tunnels and putting in doors
at the nine pedestrian en-
frances have been okayed by
the District Commissioners.

voted by the House. Mr.. Quie
said.
He judged as unrealistic the
claim that the Indignation
amendment might be lost
through q fuss about the
District. ?
Some committee members
had claimed that what the
District received in inpacted
aid would be Topped off the
annual Federal payment to the
city by the House. But this
argument seemed discredited
now because the House already
has cleared a flat $45 million
Federal payment - some SIS
million above the current
authorization.
The agreement to delete the
District more likely stemmec
from a desire to trade interests
with Subcommittee Chairman
Dent. He argued strongly
against District inclusion after
conducting hearings on the
question.
Special Interest
Chairman Powell. Democrat
OF New York, has a special in
terest in a bill currently being
banded by Mr.. Dents sub
committee. It would bar Fed
eral funds to any educational
program authorized by law If
the affected institutions were
not integrated.
The committee recommended
q straight one-year extension
Of impacted aid in the States.
This means Maryland suburbs
viii continue to draw about $40
million annually. Virginia is
to receive some So million.
Endorsed by the committee
was an amendment making
Federal aid contingent on in
tegration or a plan for integra-
ton In schools An effort to
restore the District Is expected

the Federal grant program for
schools overcrowded with chill
dren whose parents live or work
on Federal property.
This so-called inpacted aid
would yield the District between
"a and IS million annually.
A motion to reinsert the Dis
trict and to insist on school in
tegration in all aided schools
was defeated, 15-11. Repre-
sentative Gibbons. Democrat of

Then Representative Dent,
Democrat Of Pennsylvania, was
backed by q committee major

with the integration proviso.

The Gibbons move was sup
ported hy Republicans. whose
major champion Of the District

four Democrats - Chairman
Powell Of New York. and Rep
resentatives Hawkins Of Cali

gram II the District Is not

Arguments which may have
persuaded committeeman to
vote against the District were
that Federal funds merged In
q general city budget could not
be traced to the schools. Also,
some members feared that the

be lost in a floor debate over

New experiences add zest

Every time you tackle

(Quote) Finally, there is
need to resolve present issues
as rapidly as possible. The
possibility that the sugar in
dustry might be terminated
has been discussed widely in
st. Croix since last summer or
earlier. The longer the issue
remains in doubt, the greater
the possibility of permanent
damage to any attempt to es-

tunities for the land and those
who produce sugar cane on it

In conclusion I want to

!. Sugar is not affected by the
same risks that attend
Tourism.

possible changes or with
