“BRTHDAY BALL TOBE ANUARY 3 Roosevelt Agrees to Plan to Aid Infantile Paralysis Sufferers. President Roosevelt's birthday anni- versary, January 30, again this year will be the occasion for a Nation-wide *birthday ball” to aid sufferers from infantile paralysis. Henry L. Doherty, chairman of the National Committee making arrange- ments, wrote the President to ask that he “loan to this great humanitarian cause your 54th birthday anniversary.”, “The virulent epidemics at various points throughout the country this past Summer have dramatically dem- onstrated the need for continued and expanded effort,” Doherty said of the fight against the disease. Mr. Roosevelt, before agreeing to the plan, communicated with the Georgia Warm Springs Foundation, in which he is interested. In answering the President, Basil O'Connor, treasurer of the foundation, recommended that the funds from the dances be divided on the following basis: Seventy per cent to be retaired lo- cally ‘for after-treatment, the money to be disbursed through local ortho- pedic hospitals, services or doctors | upon which the community depends under ordinary or epidemic conditions. Thirty per cent to be turned over to Mr. Roosevelt for presentation to the foundation, to be used “for the con- tinuance and extension of its part in the Nation-wide fight-against infantile paralysis.” Murder (Continued From Page B-1) with “a dagger in his right hand and an ice pick in his left.” “I grabbed his right hand and took | the pick away from him and stuck it in his chest. The handle came off. “I then struck him over the head about two or three times and he went down on about the second or third | lick. He said after he was down that he wished he had killed me.” Sister Flees Home. The brawl occured in the kitchen of | the home, with the Smith woman as | & witness. She told police that she| hurried away from the residence and | went to the home of a neighbor. | “I then put a bag used by sailors | over Silva’s head,” Brown continued | in his confession, “and pulled it down : to shoulders. I then pulled him ! down the inside stairway to the cellar | and in about a half an hour I tried to! burn Silva’s body and again on Friday 1 tried to burn him. | “About 6:30 Friday evening I loaded Bilva's body into the auto and I came away from the home on through Adamstown and down into Mont- | gomery County. I don't know where I! was going to take Silva, but I wanted | to take him a long way so nobody | would know him unless they took his | fingerprints.” Brown attempted to escape in Silva's automobile after he had tossed the| body out on a lonely point in th Barnesville-Dawsonville road where | & passing motorist discovered it shortly ! after daybreak Saturday, but a tire blew out rounding a curve in the road | leading to Rockville and Brown was | forced to abandon the machine. | A white man who said he was “ducking the police” took Brown home and left shortly afterward, say- ing he was on his way to Indiana. It was the discovery of the automobile and the tracing of its license plates to Silva that eventually led to Brown's connection with the crime. Traces in Silva's Home. Police searching Silva's home after Brown's arrest found charred frag- ments of a burlap bag matching those | found beside the body, bits of human flesh and tiny rivulets of blood in the fireplace in the basement where Brown | tried to dispose of the body to pre- vent detection of the murder. They also found a hat belonging to Silva in the fireplace and nearby a coat matching in color and texture fragments of Silva's burned trousers located at the scene of the gruesome confession, made when he was confronted with the damaging statements yesterday afternoon, was witnessed by Police Chief J. William Garrett, Sergts. Joseph B. Nolte, James S. McAuliffe and Detective Sergt. Theodore A. Vollten and Pvt. Riggs Griffith, all of the Montgomery County police force; Sheriff Hiltner, Deputy Sheriff Charles W. Smith and State’s Attorney Sherman P. Bowers of Frederick County. State's Attorney James H. Pugh of ‘Montgomery County, who directed the investigation until it was found the murder had occurred in Frederick County, turned the case over to Bow- ers.
