ment Control Unit Gives
About 200 Notice,

Some 200 employees of the Projects
Control Division of the Works Prog
ress Administration have received
notice they will be dropped from the
rolls next Monday, with a result that
a protest meeting has been called by
the w. p. A. Lodge. No. 1879, American
Federation of Government Employees.
An open session will be held in the
Washington Hotel, Monday at pm.
when grievances over employment
conditions in w. P. A. will be aired.
w. p. A. officials said ''less than 200
employees" will be affected by Mon
days dismissal notice. Due to the
decreased work in the Projects Con-
troll Division, now that most projects
have been examined, officials said it
was no longer necessary to maintain
the division at its peak. From time
to time during the Summer small
numbers of employees have been let
out.
Protests have been made by the
w. p. A. Lodge that seniority privi-
leges have been ignored in dismissals.
Corrington Gill, assistant administra-
tor, was expected to issue an order
today or Monday correcting some Of
these alleged abuses.

BENNETT SOUGHT
I. AFTER INDICTMENT.
Missing Man and Wife Ac.
cused of Transporting
Stolen Jewels.

Armed with an indictment charg-
ing Eula Mae Bennett and her hus-
band, James Bennett, with transport
ing stolen property over State lines,
police today redoubled their effort to
find Bennett who fled last October as
officers seized some $4,000 worth Of
jewelry believed to represent the loot
of a gang of thieves operating
throughout the East.
The owners of only a few of the
jewels have been located, although
police have been investigating the case
since last October.
The "break" came when Edward L..
Strohecker, local real estate man, was
asked to buy a large quantity of Al-
verware at q suspiciously low price.
Working in cooperation with police,
Strohecker met Bennett and two
other men in an L street cafe under
the surveillance Of two detectives.
When the officers entered to arrest
the trio, Bennett Is said to have
escaped, dropping large quantity Of
jewelry on the table as he ran. The
two others were arrested but later
released.
Mrs. Bennett was taken into Gus
tody at a downtown hotel and q
quantity Of jewelry was found in her
room. However. when police were
unable to identify any Of it as stolen
property, she was liberated, only to be
rearrested a few days later when q
description Of jewelry stolen in New
York was received and found to tally
with some of that seized here ,
The BENEFITS were alleged to have
transported jewelry stolen in New
York, Greenwich. Conn, and Yonkers
from New York to Washington.

ATTORNEY is ACCUSED
IN RECENT ROBBERIES
Alleged Master Mind" Of Jobs Is
Named in Two True Bills
of Jury.

Indicted yesterday as the alleged
master mind" in two recent rob-
berries, John William Tomlinson,
Washington criminal lawyer, was at
liberty today under $4,000 bail.
Tomlinson was associate counsel for
CASTOR B. Means in the latter's trial
here several years ago in connection
with the Lindbergh baby hoax.
In two true bills reported to JUS
tice James M. Proctor of District
Court the grand jurors charged Tom
linson in connection with the Fairfax
Farms Dairy pay roll robbery at 1890
am, March IA. and the hold-up of
Samuel Siratonis, proprietor Of tai
lor shop at 3003 Fourteenth street,
who was beaten and robbed of $785
August 10.
Three Others Named.
Named with him in the pay roll
robbery were Phillip John Pratt and
Walter Smallwood, both colored.
Pratt and another colored man,
Charles Henry Bass, were indicted in
tllc GdllUI SllUp case.
According to Assistant United States
Attorney Samuel F. Beach, Tomlinson
allegedly planned both crimes, but
did not actually take part in them.
Dissatisfaction with the size \of the
bond was expressed in some quarters
at police headquarters today. 1t is
understood that Chief of Detectives
Bernard w. Thompson had recon-
mended that 1t be set at $4,000.
U. S. Attorneys Office Explains.
A spokesman for the United States
attorneys office explained, however,
that the purpose of the bail is to as
sure the appearance. of a defendant
when called and not to keep him in
confinement. The $4,000 bond, he
said, was considered ample to keep
the lawyer in the jurisdiction, point
ing out that Tomlinson owns consid-
cradle real estate here.
Tomlinson was implicated in the
two robberies by statements of two
of the colored men said to have COM
mitted them, according to police.
He was arrested Sunday and since
then has been held incommunicado
In an eleventh precinct cell. His at
torney, James A. O'Shea, met him
yesterday at the court house when he
was brought there to make bond.
