Gloth of Arlington County has an- nounced that he will take Brewster into custody if the man is discharged. Mr. Gloth said he expected to secure & warrant for Brewster's arrest.

A thief, who apparently was a clever professional, admitted himself to the fifth-floor suite at the Carlton Hotel of Mrs, Charles Deming of New York while she was at dinner last evening, and escaped unobserved with jewelry valued at $3,775. ‘When she returned to her rooms after the evening meal she found her trunk thrown open and the premises in dis- order. The jewels were missing from & dressing table where she had left them in & handbag an hour previously. Detectives could find no marks on the door, and presumed entry had been gained by picking the lock. The trunk had been jimmied and searched, but none of its contents was removed from the room. Mrs. Deming, the widow of & promi- nent New York attorney, listed the stolen articles as a platinum bracelet set with diamonds and worth $2,500, & pearl necklace with an emerald clasp worth $1,000 ana a platinum chain, set wimzdhmonda and aquamarines, valued at $275. Detective Sergt. Larry O'Dea made a careful search of the room from which the jewels were reported missing with- out finding any fingerprints or other clues. Police today were working on the theory that the thief saw Mrs. Deming with the jewelry and watched her until the chance arrived to enter the apartment. Mrs. Deming was absent from her room only about an hour while at din- ner on the ground floor.

The committee declared its belief that such a change would not bring about the designed relief and declared that, particularly in the case of lower Six- teenth street, the high assessments on residential properties were more the cause of their undesirable situation than the existing zoning restrictions, The committee, in its report to Dise trict officials, therefore, recommends & thorough study of assessments in this section, with the idea of making ase sessments conform to the permitted zoning uses. Zoning and Assessments Collide. A series of articles published in The Star last year, after a comprehensive study of the Sixteenth street situation, showed that there was virtually a head~ on collision between zoning restrictions and assessments there, that some private dwellings there had ground assessments not only higher than in even the best residential sections of the city, but also, in some cases, higher than on nearby commercial property. ‘Tax Assessor Richards was quoted in the series in The Star to the effect that high-priced commercial areas surround- ing the Sixteenth street section had the effect of boosting the assessments on the residential strip and that the asses~ sors gave but little consideration to zoning restrictions. The proposed change in the zoning code, thrown out for public reaction re. cently by Maj. Donald A. Davison, As- sistant Engineer Commissioner in charge of the zoning office, is designed to re- lleve property owners in certain sec- tlons now restricted to residential use where high assessments, trafic and other conditions have made residence undesirable to owners and tenants. of the trade eady has le areas for commercial Harry iaks, charman: Joseph Boling: e, chairman; A Ben T.
