SECOND HOLDUP
MAN RUNS INTO
ARMS OF POLICE
Liquor Store Robbed
As Crowds Pass

Two lone bandits went into
action last night. One was sue
cessful, the other failed.
The latter not only did not get
his loot but ran full tilt into the
arms Of couple of policemen.
The successful holdup was
staged at liquor store at 705
Fourteenth st. N. w., netting the
bold raider $500.
STREET CROWDED
AS crowds swept by, a we'll
dressed mar entered the store
drew a revolver and forced Joseph
Carr, %, the clerk, to open the
cash register, calmly pocketed the
cash and his weapon and saun-
tered out. Gene Scott, manager
Of the store, was in a rear room
and did not see any of the action.
Before leaving he told Carr:
IF you try to follow me, I'll
kill you"
The holdup man who failed
tried to rob Thomas J. Williams,
81, proprietor of a liquor store at
1907 Wisconsin Ave. N. W., of 5000,

MASKED BY KERCHIEF
Williams, who resides at 4443
Fessenden st. N. w., was parking
his car on Forty-fifth Street North
west, just north of Fessenden,
when the man, his face covered
by a handkerchief, stuck a re-
volver against the window of the
car door.
Williams pressed the horn but
ton and held his hand on it. The
bandit fled down Fessenden Street
and was captured by Privates F. L.
Stouffer and D. M. Brown, of the
Eighth Precinct. patrolling the
neighborhood in a scout car. The
man still wore his handkerchief
mask-a red-striped affair.
REVOLVER UNLOADED
In his pockets the Officers found
an unloaded .38 caliber revolver
and blackjack. He gave his name
as Richard K. Oliver, 10, of the
900 block Fifth st. N. w. Police
say he admitted the attempted
holdup. He was fingerprinted

It may sound incredible but
Washington actually seems to be
getting quieter.
This startling fact exploded like
q bombshell in the midst of the
Washington Unconstitutional Broad
casting Company noise finding
expedition today at Fifteenth st.
and Pennsylvania Ave. N. W.-the
city's busiest intersection.
Three years ago when the Pat
terson Newspapers conducted a.
noise survey III Washington scien-
tific instruments measured 100
decibels of sound at the intersec-
ton over a sustained period.
SKATER NERVES
It was explained then that 100
decibels of noise over a sustained
period is enough to shatter all the
nerves of almost anyone and
promises were made to eliminate
all possible clatter and bangs.
So today the noise seeking
safari, led by Keith Williams, ace
noise finder for the National
Broadcasting Co., and including
Miss Phebe Gale, director of pub
icity for the N.B.C. local office,
and a reporter and photographer
for the Patterson Newspapers pre-
pared for the worst.
PRETTY HIGH
Williams turned on the portable
field amplifier and the needle
registered IS decibels over a sus-
tanned period, and jumped as high
as ITO decibels at intervals.
Comparison with the three-year-
old figures revealed that five
decibelS of sound have been elimi-
mated from the busy intersection.
Since the last recordings were
made, the Capital Transit Co. has
done away with a full set of car
tracks and installed new rails and
Streamlined, rubber cushioned cars.
COMPARATIVE QUIET
These Improvements undoubtedly
must be credited with the COM
parative quiet that reigns at the
intersection now. It is only
slightly more noisy than five
radios blaring wide open in a
small apartment.
Williams carefully measured
various noise-making vehicles at
the intersection and found:
VARIOUS VEHICLES
A foot on an automobile horn
will measure 10 decibels, a back
fire will send the delicate noise
measuring instruments up to
140 decibels, while a street car
rumbling over cross rails will
measure 10 to 100 decibels.
The noise-hunting part returned
to headquarters slightly deafened
but beaming over the coming
silence. Tomorrow the noise hunt
ers will visit other intersections
to determine whether they, too,
are becoming quieter.
