PROBE SCHEDULED
IN POLICE SLAYING
Inquest Will Be Held Tomorrow
in Shooting of Unidentified
Colored Suspect.

An inquest will be held tomorrow
into the shooting by Policeman James
c. Duffy early yesterday of colored
suspect who later was identified in
an armed robbery.
The robbery occurred only few
hours prior to the shooting. The sus-
pect was identified at the Morgue late
yesterday by James Brooks as the
man who held up the ice cream store
which he manages in the 1900 block
of New Jersey avenue NV, and
escaped with $50.
Meanwhile, the Washington Council
Of the National Negro Congress an
nounced it had requested Police Supt.

postponed until Identification of the
dead man is established and owner

headed by the Rev. Arthur Gray, de-
manded investigation of the case
before it is presented to the coroner's
jury.

tached to No. 4 precinct, reported he
shot only after the suspect drew a
gun on him when he found the latter
lurking near a warehouse at Sixth and
c streets S.W. A fully-loaded, 38-
caliber revolver, one cartride in which
had been dented by the firing pin. but
had failed to explode, was found on
the colored man, police reported.

AGREEMENT NEAR
IN JUDGESH|P BILL
Conferees Seen Likely to
Provide for Three Instead
of Two New Posts.

An agreement on three instead Of
two additional judges for the United
States District Court here may be
reached late today or tomorrow by
House and Senate conferees on the
bill to relieve coneested dockets in a
number of judicial circuits through
out the country. -
Although the conferees did not
reach final agreement at their first
meeting this morning, indications
pointed strongly to acceptance of the
House provision for three new places
for the Federal trial bench in Wash
ington.
The bill provides also for one addi-
tional justice for the United States
Court of Appeals for the District Of
Columbia, and this is not in dispute
in conference. The proposed increase
in the number of appellate judges is
based partly on the expected increase
in the membership of the trial court.
The House bill, calling for three
new trial judges and one more ap-
peals judge, was in accordance with
the recommendation of the Attorney
General. The Senate. however. cut
the District Court recommendation to
two. The District Court now consists
of nine judges.
Statistics showing a steady increase
in the volume of litigation here in
recent years, with resulting delay in
the disposition of cases, were pre-
sented to judiciary committees OF
Congress by court officials earlier in
the session.

no legal right to forcibly deprive the

later was turned in voluntarily.

Maryland, which is to begin soon
E. Claude Gaylor, manager of the
Hyattsville branch Of the Maryland
State Employment Service, said that
the number Of men to be taken care

upon the kind of labor to be used. He
said If non-relief labor is used, all but
a small group of specialized workers
can be furnished through his Office.
The Greenbelt project. costing sl4,-
227,000, was started in October. 1885.
under the direction of Prof. Rexford
G. Tugwell. then Undersecretary of the
Department of Agriculture. The work
has employed as many as 5000 men
at one time.
1t was pointed out by c. E. Baldwin,
assistant administrator of the Farm
Security Administration, who has
charge Of the project. that the cost
of Greenbelt was $4,9O2 900 more than
normal" because of the employment
of relief labor.
Greenbelt, when completed, will be
comprised Of 885 housing units, two
schools. a motion picture theater,
offices, stores, filling station and
other buildings required to make up a
town complete in itself.
The housing units were constructed
at a total cost of $5,423 per unit, the

town proper, the administrator said.
After deducting the "excesses." Mr..
Baldwin said the actual cost of Green
belt is $8338,00o.
At the time the project was started

two years ago the Resettlement Ad-
ministration asked for and received
an additional s5.00o,0oO.
Although the F. S. A. controls $3.50
acres of land outside the town limits,
there are $500 acres within the town
available for future development and
expansion. The average purchase price
Of this land was S98 per acre. Ap-
proximately three acres of Greenbelt
land is being rented to the Parkbelt
Homes, Inc, for $3.50 an acre per year
for private housing project. The
company also has an option on 43
additional acres for expansion of its
project.
1t was said by the administrator
that other parcels of land near the
residential areas have been appraised

ment's holdings had been greatly in
creased in value because of the con-
Struction.
Land used for actual building sites

ing clearing, surveys, grading and land
scaping. Roads and underpasses cost
S528000: utility systems, including
water, electricity and sewage disposal,
$852,000, and sidewalks, $146,0O0. The
utility systems were designed to serve

was constructed at cost of $344, 600

the deadline on completion of all work
on the project had been set for June
