Wash ington News PLANS FOR TRIAL IN WILSON KILLING ARE PUSHED AHEAD Investigators Not to Wait to Link Local Gambler With Murder. GRAND JURY TO SEEK INDICTMENTS FOR FOUR Authorities to Confer With Wit- nesses on Sutton’s Alleged Connections. BY JOHN H. CLINE. Investigators assigned to the mur- der of Allen B. Wilson, having estab- lished their identification of the principals involved, were working to- day to perfect their case for trial. Although they are still attempting to connect a well-known local gam- bler with the case, there were indica- tions they may proceed without furth- er delay against those already im- Pplicated. Montgomery County State’s Attor- ney James H. Pugh announced he was ready to go before the grand jury at any time to seek indictments against Albert S. Sutton, William Cleary, Ernest W. Myers and John “Slim” Dunn. Two other participants, Tony “The Stinger” Claude Bailey are dead. Think Sutton Was “Brains.” Police believe Sutton engineered the shooting of Wilson, who was killed when mistaken by the gunmen for Mickey McDonald ,the local gambler they were supposed to murder. They have obtained statements from other principals allegedly implicating Sut- ton, said to have been the henchman of the better-known gambler they are trying to connect with the case. Members of the special investigat- ing squad, Lieuts. John H. Fowler and Floyd Truscott and Sergt. Earl Hart- man, are expected to spend the next few weeks supplementing the evidence already assembled with the details necessary to round out the case for trial. This, it was expected, will necessi- tate talking to a numgber of witnesses who will be needed at the trial in addition to the 10 scheduled to go before the grand jury. They also have yet to find the gun that fired the fatal shot, an important link in the evi- dence. '] Jury Panel Drawn. Judge Charles W. Woodward of Montgomery County Circuit Court yesterday drew the jurors for the next term of court, which convene¥ Novem- ber 11.

The District Zoning Commission has paved the way for possible razing of famous old Henderson Castle and development of a large apartment house on the site. The Commissioners yesterday ap- proved a change of the zoning clas- sification from A. restricted to resi- dential 60-foot C area, which per- mits apartments. It was a compro- mise decision in that the commission Tefused to make the change for a 100- foot deep strip of land along the south side of Belmont street. ‘The modification of the petition of George E. Edelin, trustee for the es- tate of Mrs. John B.

MRS, ROOSEVELT VISITS. ALLEYS First Lady Watches Inau- guration of Clearance Program Here. Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was an | unexpected visitor as the District Alley | Dwelling Authority yesterday started | | demolition of 50 dilapidated homes in | | the square bounded by E, F, Twentieth and Twenty-first streets. The destruction marked the inau- | guration of the authority’s largest | clearance project and was witnessed | | by Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen, | | who swung a pick to begin the job; iFrederic A. Delano, chairman of the National Capital Park and Planning | Commission; Clarence Phelps Dodge, | president of the Washington Commit- | tee on Housing; John Ihlder, director | | of the Alley Authority, and others. | Expresses Interest. | Before leaving, Mrs. Roosevelt ex- | pressed interest in the proceedings. “I have always felt that housing lay at“the root of many of the ills which those of us who are interested in seeing America a better place to live in are constantly trying to rem- edy,” she said. “Therefore, anything which has to do with housing here or in any of the States is of very great interest to me and I am happy to be here today and to congratulate the Alley Dwelling Authority on the work it is doing and to wish it will be able to continue and finish this work.” Compliments Mrs. Hopkins. Mrs. Roosevelt also pald tribute to the late Mrs. Archibald Hopkins for her activities in connection with alley dwelling clearance. Among the buildings to be razed is a three-story brick structure, built nearly 150 years ago. It has been used for 22 years as a print shop by a colored man. He doesn’t know where he is going. NEW HOMICIDE ACT BRINGS JAIL TERM Negligence Admitted by Man Given 180 Days for Fatal Accident. The first person sentenced under the new negligent homicide act for the District was Robert Hicks, colored, who was given 180 days in jail by Judge John P. McMahin in Police Court today. Hicks, driving a truck belonging to Daniel Rogers, 31, colored, 310 Benja- min street southwest, struck and killed 3-year-old Paul Botler, 1307 South Capitol street, on September 11. The chid was struck while cross- ing the street a short distance from his home. At the time Hicks was arrested police also took Rogers into custody and charged him as an accessory, claiming that the truck was mechan- ically defective. The case against Rogers was nolle prossed yesterday. Hicks had previously demanded s jury trial, but withdrew his demand and entered the guilty plea, 5 - MUM SHOW CROWD RECORD FIRST DAY Plant Bureau Pleased by 882 Attendance—Florists Plan Award. In addition to the 334 guests from official circles who attended the pre- view ushering in the thirty-fourth annual chrysanthemum show of the Agriculture Department there were 882 who viewed the big Fall flower show yesterday. This broke the first-day record and was especially pleasing to officials of the Bureau of Plant Industry, be- cause they were forced to open the show without any advance notice to the public due to the recent warm Gays which opened the blooms much quicker than normally. The big exhibition greenhouse at | Fourteenth street and Constitution avenue was thronged with visitors today. Teachers from more than 20 public schools and 3 academies had notified those in charge that large groups of students would attend the exhibition today and tomorrow. Many Varieties Shown. All the old standard varieties and most of those plants originated by the department specialists are at- tracting attention again this year. A number of these have been adopted by commercial growers and have been popular on the market. Several score of the best-known commercial grow- ers who have been invited by de- pariment officials are arranging to have conferences early next week at the show. They will advise with the Government officials as to which of the new “mums” produced in the Govern- ment greenhouses they consider the most promising for general cultiva- tion. i The Washington Society of Florists will make its annual inspection and award next week. Certificates of merit have been annually awarded to the Agriculture Department “mum” shows for more than 10 years. Distinguished Night Crowd. Several cabinet members and their wives, with guests and members of the diplomatic corps, are to be spe- cial guests tonight between 7:30 and 8:30 o'clock. Due to the unseasonably warm spell, unless visitors get to the show during the first few days they are likely to miss seeing some of the most popular of the old varieties, J. Wise Byrnes, the superintendent of the exhibition, warned today. However, he the public there are hundreds of other beautiful plants held in reserve, which will be used to freshen up the show as the sun wilts those first installed. e LIQUOR HEARING MONDAY Foxhall Delicatessen Application Protested by Residents. Debate over requested granting of an on-sale hard liquor license for the Foxhall Delicatessen, 4400 Foxhall road, will be heard by the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board at a public hearing at 10 a.m. Monday. The delicatessen now has a permit to sell on-sale light wines and beer and it has requested a Class C license. Residents have filed protests with the A. B. C. Boards e WITH SUNDAY . FORNEW BUS LINE IN MONTGOMERY Suburban Residents Renew Agitation in Criticism of Present Service. C. T.C. REFUSES TO BUY MARYLAND LICENSES Dispute Over Use of Chevy Chase Circle as Terminal Spurs Talk of Competition. ‘With dissatisfaction over present transportation conditions growing, talk of the organization of a Montgomery County transit company to improve service on the two main arteries of | Wisconsin and Connecticut avenues 10 | downtown Washington was revived in | the county today. This renewed agita- | tion came with the announcement of the Capital Transit Co. that it would not buy the bus tags demanded for nuse of the Maryland side of Chevy Chase | Circle, which has been taken over by | the company as a terminal. Thousands of residents of the coun- try club suburban area in nearhy Maryland, particularly those along Wisconsin and Connecticut avenues, long have felt that transportation con- | ditions were not commensurate with the rapid growth of these areas, and that Washington transit officials have been out of sympathy with or lacking in understanding of the real needs of | the swiftly growing suburban areas. | Should a Montgomery county transit company be formed it is planned to develop cross-country lines between Takoma Park and Bethesda and Ta- koma Park and Rockville. Had Hoped for Improvement. Residents of Chevy Chase, Md., | where the service has been cut to a | 15-minute headway since the street car line was discontinued, had hoped that the tag issue might result in the company conforming to their wishes and improving the service to Chevv Chase Lake, where the company has | available property for a terminal. The Citizens' Committee of Section | | 2, Chevy Chase, last week indignantly | | denied the company a permit to erect a transfer shelter in the middle of Cou- | necticut avenue. From other sources | have come complaints that the con-| stant parking of busses around the circle has created a serious traffic haz- | ard on the north side and hides from | view the beautiful Newlands Memorial | Fountain erected several years ago in | the hope of making this entrance to the city a beauty spot. The whole situation was to be dis- | cussed this afternoon with John H.| Hanna, president of the Capital Tran- sit Co., by a committee of Maryland | residents. The company is now at work, Hanna revealed, on a revised schedule | for the busses, designed to meet ob- Jjection of residents of the Chevy Chase area. 'PUBLIC ASSISTANCE " MANAGER IS NAMED| | Frank D. Norton, Native of Chi- cago, Will Succeed Otto J. Cass. Commissioner George E. Allen today announced appointment of a native of Chicago, Frank D. Norton, to be the new business manager for the District Public Assistance Division, which handles emergency relief dis- bursements. Otto J. Cass, who has held the post for about two years, was promoted to general manager for the District Works Progress Administration, which handles projects for the employment of persons on the District relief role. Norton has been attached here for about two years with the Federal Surplus Relief Corp. as an auditor in the fiscal division of the agency. He has been an auditor for nearly 15 years and formerly was associated with the Commonwealth Edison Co. of Chicago. Officials said selection of Norton was suggestéd by others than officials of Federal Emergency Relief Adminis- + ation. Norton, who is 39 and resides at 2145 C street, will receive a salary of $3,800 per year. Cass has been receiving $4,400. The promotion of Cass to be general manager of the District W. P. A, was decided after ‘William C. Cleary, formerly in charge of that work, was made assistant deputy District W. P. A, administra- tor. From now on every Washington po- liceman has got to be a dead shot. Maj. Ernest W. Brown, superin- tendent of the metropolitan police force, said so today in announcing plans for the most intensive course in target practice ever undertaken by the department. Early in November Maj. Brown an- nounced, every member of the force— desk clerks as well as patrolmen— will be required to shoot straight. The men are going to be ordered on the department’s range and made to blast away until they can qualify as marks- men. Maj. Brown has been planning the target course for a long time, but has been unable to put it into effect be- cause of the lack of funds to purchase ammunition. Now, however, he said ammunition money is available and his men mus: learn to shoot effectively. It’s been some years, Maj. Brown said, since policemen did any serious shooting on the pistol range and he fears some of them may have a little trouble hitting the bull's-eye. Any- how, he wants to find out how many crack shots he has in the dvnnmem. FRIDAY, OCTOBER | Chevy Chase, Md., | only minor injuries, it is said. D. C. Policemen Must Become Dead Shots, Maj.

MAN DIES IN HOSPITAL FROM ACCIDENT OCT. 11 Thirteen Are Hurt in 24-Hour Period in Series of 26 Traffic Mishaps. ' With the death last night in Emer- gency Hospital of Lola Wilkinson, 26, employed as a domestic in the home of Fred A. Woodis, 401 Elm street, the number of District traffic deaths for this year mounted to 90, according to the offi- cial police record. Miss Wilkinson died from a skull | fracture suffered when thrown against | the top of the automobile in which she was riding as it collided with an- other machine at Thirty-fourth and Garfleld streets yesterday afternoon. Another Woman Injured. Miss Ollie Reese, 21, in the car with Miss Wilkinson, was taken to Emergency Hospital with head in- juries. She is the sister of Miss Elizabeth Reese, 25, driver of the automobile. Both are employed as domestics at 119 West Bradley lane, Chevy Chase, Md. The other automobile was driven by Mrs. Consuelo Smith, 38, of 3701 Thirty-third place, who was treated at her home for cuts and shock. Another death recorded yesterday | was that of James Alexander, 65, col- ored, of the 1300 block of Q street, who died in Gallinger Hospital as the | result of injuries received October 11. when a truck he was driving collided with an automobile on the Alexandria Highway. The automobile was driven by Clifford Cary of Camp Springs, Md., who was questioned by police just after the accident-and released witn- | out charge. Thirteen were injured in 26 traffi | accidents here in the 24-hour period | ending at 8 a.m. today. Marian Blanche Wright, 7, 300 block | of Fourth street southwest, was struck | last night by a taxicab several blocks from her home. She was treated at Providence Hospital for rumerous cuts | and transferred to Gallinger Hospital. | The cab was driven by James G. Bris- tow, 27, of 1373 Columbia road, police Earlier yesterday, three persons were injured in a collision between two automobiles at Ninth and Kennedy streets, in which both machines were overturned and at least one of them ran up on the sidewalk, according to police. Couple Treated. Mrs. Lillian Hicks, 36, driver of one of the cars, and her husband, Robert Hicks, 30, of Forest Glen, Md,, were treated at Walter Reed Hospital and later went to the Washington Sanitarium at Takome Park, Md. Mrs. | Hicks, police say, suffered a knee in- | jury and her husband injuries to the back. Charles Tucker, 11, of 806 Madison | street, who is said to have been on | the sidewalk, was struck, but suffered Neal Berney, 24, of 445 Jefferson street, was the driver of the other machine, police said. At the time of the accident Ms. Hicks was driving her husband home from Mount Alto Hospital, where he had been under treatment. $15,000 IN GEMS FOUND ON COUPLE HELD HERE Police Notify New York Authori- ties and Take Possession of Jewelry. A man and a women in whose pos- session police found jewelry valued at between $10,000 and $15,000, were be- ing held today pending word from authorities in New York, where the couple say they live. Police took the Jewelry. The man gave his name as David Solomon Sparks, 36, and was regis- tered at a hotel here. The woman, giving her name as Mrs. Lula May Bennett, 23, was arrested in Union Station. She had been registered in another hotel and had in her posses- sion about six pieces of jewelry, in- cluding a diamond necklace valued at about $3,000. The man had the rest. Police believed they had been trying to sell the jewelry here. In Sparks’ pocket, police said, was a passport bearing the name, “Davis Pines.” and how many will have to spend some spare time on the range. The police superintendent wants his men to be crack shots for two rea- sons. Primarily, he said, any man who is authorized to carry a gun should know how to use it expertly. But important, too, he explained, is the psychological effect of a sharp- shooting police force on the criminal element. In Los Angeles, Maj. Brown pointed out, every police officer is required to qualify as a marksman, and the authorities there credit a reduction in crime to that fact. The only serious target practice undergone in the Washington de- partment comes when a man is ap- pointed to the force. Then he is of the training course and taught to shoot. But after that the officer does very little shooting unless it is his hobby. Through competitive matches be- tween precincts, Maj. Brown hopes to stimulate sufficient interest in the 25, 1935. | has to other blacksmiths. target practice course to develop a team of crack shots to participate in various pistol contests throughout the country, » Ll L Moves He Must Do So, or Die, Says Mobile Shop Owner.

COMMUNISM VIEW WINNING SUPPORT Cannon Calls Protest to Prettyman Ruling “Tem- pest in Teapot.” Widespread discussion of Corpora-| tion Counsel E. Barrett Prettyman’s ruling on an amendment in the 1935 District appropriation act forbidding payment of salaries to teachers who advocate Communism was described as “a t>mpest in a teapot” yesten:la:,flv by Chairman Cannon of the House subcommittee on appropriations. Cannon, author of the amendment, said it was not intended to prevent | the t-aching of historical facts about Communism. These facts, he de- clared, should be taught, however, in | their regular place in history, civics and philosophy courses, and not be made a separate course of study. Cannon’s opinion is in agreement | with Prettyman’s ruling public school teachers may ontline facts of Com- | munism so long as they do not advo- cate its cause. Student Curiosity Stressed. It was pointed out by Cannon that a child denied the knowledge of a subject naturally has his curiosity aroused and will get information from unauthorized or unsupervised sources. Such information, he said, should be given in the schools where it can be controlled. “I am confident,” he said, “that the more people know about com- munism the less they will think about it.” Former Senator Smith W. Brook- hart of Iowa has written a letter to Dr. Frank W. Ballou, superintendent of schools, commending the stand taken by the Board of Education in its interpretation of the Cannon amendment. Calls It “Hocus Pocus.” “There is so much hocus pocus logic, or I might even say downright intellectual dishonesty, upon this sub- Ject,” the former Senator said, “that the time has come for some plain speaking. The law has been sensibly construed by your legal adviser and you are fully justified in the position you have taken.” When the Southeast Citizens’ Asso- ciation meets next Tuesday night C. G. Degman will present a report on the teaching of communism in the public schools. Degman was asked by the association’s Executive Committee to make a survey of just what is being taught and to prepare whatever reso- lutions he believed necessary. The association will meet in the Hine Junior High School, William A. Maio, president, announced today. Thomas Healy, 1801 Wyoming ave- nue, who withdrew his son from John Quincy Adams School rather than have him taught the principles of Communism, today gave police a threatening letter which he said ar- rived in the morning mail. It de- clared, “We will get you,” and was signed, “Your Pal.” BOYS’ CLUB PLANS PARTY Halloween Fete tg Be Held at Club House Tuesday Night.

FIVE MEN HELD N GAMING RADS ‘Bond Is Placed at $1,500 Each by U. S. Commis- sioner Turnage. Five men were held under $1,500 bond by United States Commissioner Needham C. Turnage today after their arrest in two gambling raids late yes- terday at 1409 I street and in the 800 block of Ninth street.

Marino, 25, of the 900 block of Fifth street. Police said the three places raided were getting a large play since the Fall racing season is now in full swing. Tipton, Kesecker and Rupp were arrested at the I street address and the other two in the 800 block of Ninth street. Police also rounded up 25 patrons and took them to head- quarters, where they were questioned and released. A quantity of paraphernalia was seized, along with marked money al- leged to have been bet by an under- cover agent, police said.
