other flashed a knife, police
said. Both wore athletic socks

5 THEM HOUSE
AIDE LENDS THEM HOUSE
Evicted Family Of IA Pickets White House
BY WILLIAM GRIGG
Star staff Writer

Evicted and unable to find
another home, James Surratt,
As, took his wife and IL chill
dren to the White House to
seek help.
The welder, his wife carry
ing their last child, Jeffrey, 2
months old, began walking
outside the White House about
7 am. yesterday, with their
various sized children, Debra,

1t was a motley parade.
The family looked none the
better for having slept the past
several nights in their car and
truck.
They carried small sheets Of
paper painted to tell of their
plight.
A girl In yellow shorts and
q black sweatshirt passed by
and said TO her companion: rs
that all one family?"
Then on his lunch hour,
Philip McCrea, a clerk who
does copyreading at the White
House, noticed the group.
Mr.. Surratt said he had been
evicted after several notices
from a house in Manassas, Va,
that was now being worked on
by repair men. He said the

The subcommittee also heard
three other witnesses, two of
whom said they opposed the
present bill, and a third who
supported it.
Peter Glickert, representing
the Federation of Citizens AS
sociations, said his organiza-
ton was not opposed to renewal
but that the pending bill was
inadequate.
He said: Businessmen must
be guaranteed relocation with
out hiatus. And this should be
a right enforceable in the
courts.
I'VE believe the simplest
way to make the RIA RESPONSE
BILE is to give any businessman
the right to sue the RIA for
damages if the RIA puts him
out of business"
Supporting the bill, Reuben
Clark, president of the Wash
ington Planning and Housing
Association, said:
I'VE consider it most i'm
portant that the downtown be
given the same opportunities
for renewal now possessed by
all other cities so that 1t may
carry out what it has begun so
promisingly with the Action
Plan.
The second witness opposing
the > bill, r. w.. Courtlandt
Herbst, a real estate broker, did
so without reservations. He said
it was "unsound, would violate
property rights and should
therefore be defeated"
Notes Expense
In questioning Mr.. Doyle,
Representative Horton, Repub-
lican of New York, the commit
tee member present yesterday
along with the chairman, Rep
resentative Dowdy, Democrat of
Texas, asked whether RIA had
made its own analysis Of the
downtown area.
This would be a very ex-
pensive undertaking because
we would have to have each
building studied in respect to
itself and as to its surround
ings," Mr.. Doyle replied.
Would such a study be JUS
tified?" Mr.. Horton asked.
Eyes, I think the downtown
area is not very satisfactory as
the downtown area for 2 mil
lion people, and all indica-
lions are that it is going down.

4th Graders
Come Up in
Achievement

WaShington'S fourth grade
pupils improved their scores in
a Nationwide achievement
test last year, but remained
below the National norm,
School Supt. Carl F. Hansen
said yesterday.
Mr.. Hansen said he was "en-
couraged" by the fact that
there was an increase in the
fourth grade scoring level in
all categories over the previous
year.
A Board of Education report
released yesterday showed the
fourth graders were seven
months behind the national
norm in reading, three months
behind in word knowledge and
arithmetic problems, four
months behind in word dis
elimination, and two months
behind in arithmetic compu-
tation and total language abil-
ity. They were three months
ahead in spelling.
Sixth graders were ahead Of
national norms in SPEEDING,
arithmetic computation, Ian
guage study skills and total
language ability, anG were at
the { national norm in arith-
metic problems. They were be-
hind in word knowledge, read
ing and social study Skills.
Ninth grade students in the
honors track who took a ma
tional test scored better than
90 to IS per cent of all stu
dents taking the exam, the re-
port showed. Students in the
regular track ranked from A
to SIS per cent.
Twelfth grade students in the
honors track did better than SO
to So per cent of all who took
the exam for their grade. Those
in the regular track did better
than so to n per cent, and
those in the basic track were
better than 20 to 38 per cent
of those taking the test.
The scoring of ninth grade
students in the basic track In
dicated they were doing work
which was between fourth and
fifth grade level.

his home at 667l Holly drive
near Allentown, Md.
Fire Inspector Stephen White
said John r. Luck, 20, was
found in an attic near his bed
room after firemen extin-
guiShed the blaze. The young
man apparently was smoking
in bed and. after the fire
started, crawled into the attic
where he suffocated, the in
spector said.
The youths mother, Mrs.
Leone M. Luck, was slightly
burned.
Firemen estimated damage
to the house at $4,000.

the Federal Government and
private foundations for various
projects to help the elderly.
The only member of the citi-
zens council to vote against
the recommendation was Mrs.
Richard c. Simonson, who said
that the District has already
been criticized for having too
many councils.
She said she thought exist
ing District Government agen-
cies could handle the functions
proposed for the new council.
After their business meeting
the members Of the citizens
council were guests at a lunch
con at the Willard Hotel sponI
sored by the Board of Com
miSsioners.
Philip A. Guarino, who had
served the maximum two
terms on the council permitted
by the Commissioners rules,
was given a meritorious public
service award.

opment plan.
Under questioning by Hayden
s. CARRIER, House District COM
mittee counsel, Mr.. Doyle said
that If the Downtown Prog
ress group was employed as a
consultant, Il would want that
to be on technical matters, and
not to include responsibility for
the plan"
The renewal agency executive
emphasized, however, tn a t
whether or not they act as
consultant, all their informa-
ton is available to U.S."
The Downtown Progress staff
is headed by Executive Director
Knox Banner, a former presi-
dent of the National Association
of Housing and Redevelopment
officials.
Yesterdays hearing was one
of a series held almost weekly
since March at which testimony
has been heard regarding oper-
alton of the Districts renewal
program.
Part of Study
The subcommittee said its
investigation is part of a study
of proposed legislation tn a t
would permit Federal renewal
powers to be used in District
commercial areas.
Under existing legislation,
renewal Of commercial sections
has been possible only if they
are part of a predominantly
residential neighborhood.
An action plan" prepared by
the businesses sponsored Down
town Progress group which
cost more than three quarters
of a million dollars, proposes
renewal treatment for more
than 600-acres downtown, in
an area extending from Fiji
tenth street to North Capt.
toll street, and from M street
to Pennsylvania avenue NV.
The key to RIA going ahead
with the work, however, is a
bill now pending in the House
similar to one recently passed
by the Senate. In addition to
authorizing renewal of primar-
/ lily commercial areas, it would
somewhat broaden RLA's re-
newal powers.
A large part Of yesterdays
hearing was devoted to ques-
tons regarding planning. how
extensive demolition there
would be, and what part of the
Downtown Progress plan would
be used.

At this stage, the bill would

The council also opposed the
House move to set aside the

yides, that individuals with

Acquitted Of
Ma|feasance
St. MuYs Jury
Reaches Verdict
In 10 Minutes
BY JOHN SHERWOOD
Star Staff Writer

LEONARDTOWN, Md, Sept
14.-St. Mary's County States
Attorney Charles A. Norris, 90
was acquitted yesterday Of
charges, that he withheld infor-
nation from a grand jury to
protect a friend.
An all-male jury took just 10
minutes to reach a decision.
AS the jury foreman read the
verdict, a loud cheer went up
from the courtroom spectators
and a long line of wellwishers
formed quickly to shake the
young defendants hand and
comfort his sobbing wife, Gene
We've.
The indictment charged that
he failed to make proper use
of a witness, John Passarelli,
and withheld pertinent infor-
nation from a grand jury in
vestigating a gambling opera
ton at Charlotte Hall.
Described as Friend
Mr.. Passarelli, a contractor,
was described as a close friend
and creditor of Mr.. Norris.
Assistant Attorney General
Robert F. Sweeney, who prose-
cuted the case, said Mr.. Norris
did not tell the grand jury that
Mr.. Passarelli had been gam
bling in the casino shortly be-
fore it was raided last June,
nor did he call his friend as a
witness at the subsequent trial
of the casino operators. De-
Tense attorneys pointed out that
that the operators were con-
victed anyway.
Oliver B. Guyther, repre-
senting Mr.. Norris. based the
defense on "the States attor-
ney's broad discretion and
Judgment that must be used
in the practice of his office. -
He also added that Mr.. Norris
duty is to advise a grand
jury and not to be a detec-
tive" But he stressed "judg-
ment" and discretion" time
and again.
Grand Juror Testifies
A Grand Jury member tes-
titled Thursday that Mr.. Nor
ris did not inform them of Mr..
Passarelli's presence because ''ne
did not want to upset family
problems and did not see any
reason to bring it up" Mr.
Passarelli testified he visitee
the casino with a woman
other than his wife on the
night of the raid and won $500
while shooting dice.
Further testimony revealed
that Joseph F. Nesline, one Of
three men convicted on charges
of gambling the night of the
raid, paid Mr.. Passarelli's S..
TOO to add on a wing to an
existing building. That addi-
ton became the gambling
casino. The prosecution quoted
Maryland State Police Capt
Thomas S. Smith as describing
NeSline as being a nationally
known gambling figure"
Mr.. Passarelli also testified
that he had loaned Mr.. Norris
$4,000 about two years ago an6
had not been repaid in cash
although he considered legal
work Mr.. Norris had performed
for him pretty near even"
Circuit Judge William B
Bowie of Prince Georges Coun-
ty, who presided at the trial
also told the all-male jury that
"a States attorney has broad
discretion in his office, and
normally he is beyond the
question of anyone in these
! matters"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1963-09-14

but figured he could lend 1t
out to the Surratts until they
found another place.
I'm kind Of sorry you re-
porters found out about this"
he said. ASH
