PARKING METERS
AGAIN DELAYED
Commissioners Will Ask
Manufacturers to Make
Comments.

e., Further delay in solution Of the Dis
trict's parking meter problem was seen
today when Commissioner Melvin c.
Hazen announced that all manufac-
turers Of the, mechanical coin collec-
tors would be invited to comment on
the specifications before bids were
taken again.;
All bids received before yesterdays
supposed deadline were thrown out by
the city heads after several manu-
facturers raised protAsts against H.
legedly restrtctive features Of the
specifications. Eight sealed proposals
were received before the 2 pm. dead
line, but none WAS opened and ali will
be returned 10 hi. contractors.

were too rsnctive .ss ~ that the

"A committee ~ four WAS named to

The members are Highway Director
H. C.. Whtehurst, Tfafac Director
William A. Van Du3er. Electrical supt.
Walter E. Kern and an expert Of the
Bureau Of Standards.
District officials indicated the draft

experience records available for draw
ing specifications for parking meters.
The appropriation act sections which
authorized the Commissioners to ex-
pertinent with parking meters did not
lay down any definite policies In this
regard. ..
Some District officials were at loss to
know definitely whether only one type
Of parking meter should be allowed to
be installed, Is result OF competitive
bidding, or whether It was the tnten-
tion Of Congress thst various types
should be installed. Il appeared that
manufacturers are In dispute on this
point.

The act prescribes that the meters
shall be installed without cost t. the
District. Apparently the only guide
In congressional debate was that the
meters would pay for themselves, a
motorists bought the use OF parking
spaces. ,'.
The original specifications, now
thrown out, proposed that the District
retain 80 per cent Of the nickels
placed in the coin boxes, 10 per cent
to 60 to the manufacturer or owner
Of the individual box. Some District
oncials said today there was no au-
thority in the act for this financial
arrangement, but others said there
was no prescription against it. Just
how the matter would be solved was
not yet indicated.
The act limits the experiment to
the curb space along four normally
si1ed squares, ind District oficials
have computed that this would mean
the installation of not more than
so meters, allowing the space of 20
feet per parked car.

Hazen and Director Marshall Hint
They Have a Flexible Scale
in Mind.

q, Chairman King Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee said today he would
favor 4 scaling down Of District un-
employment insurance taxes when
Congress returns, If the Commissioners
can show the reserves have become too
great under the present tax.
If the tax is too large" Senator
King said, "the logical thing to do Is
- scale it down, but the District
should give due consideration to the
possibility that demands on the re-
serve fund may increase. However,
II the Commissioners can make =
proper showing, I will support = re-
duction."
Members of the Unemployment
Compensation Board announced yes
terday they would seek q reduction
because the, present per cent em-
ployer tax is collecting twice Is much
In taxes as has been needed.
Definite Plans Deferred.
Plans >have not yet crystallized,
Commissioner Melvin c. Hazen said
yesterday. He said definite plans
!. would be deferred until later in the
year to give the board the benefit Of
/ longer experience in payment Of
jobless BENEFITS.
However, both Commissioner Hazen
and John A Marshall, board director,
indicated they had in mind q flexible
scale, under which the board would
have authority to vary the rate from
i to ; per cent, as the need dictated.
The announcement OF the plan was
made after Mr.. MarShaN reported to
Mr.. Hazen that the District had ST.
s76,62s:52 to its credit at the Treasury
q Of June 80. The director aid the
District now was paying out 1obless
benefit funds at the rate Of about
9225,000 q month, whereas pay roll
taxes were being collected from WASH
angton employers 1t the rate of some
$500, 900 . month.
According to figures also given by
Mr.. Marshall 1t was calculated that
the average weekly pay check given
last week to the eligible jobless was
$3.50
Further Study 70 Re Made.
Considerable further study Is ex-
pected to be given to the rate revision
proposal since the District employers,
like others throughout the country are
subject to the Federal Social Security
pay roll taxes, which amount to ! per
cent Of the pay rolls
Operation Of the present Federal
and District rate requires local en-
ployers in fact to pay q total tax Of
33 per cent, Of which ; per cent goes
into the local fund and the remainder
into the Federal reserves. At present
however, the national law requires all
employers Of eight or more persons in
the covered industries to pay . total
tax Of At least per cent, SO reduction
Of the District rate below ~ Der cent
would not bring actual relief 20 such
employers.
1t would, however, bring relief 70
the employers of fewer than eight per-
cons and down to the 81 per cent point
would AFFECT all employers.

The tire itself was brought into the

the bullet holes. The detective said
there was another hole in the end
of the right front fender, mark on
the frame of the car and the hole
made by the fatal bullet as it passed

bullet through his brain, which en-
tered at the back of his head and
lodged near the forehead At Judge
Hedrick's request, the coroner drew
a diagram of the skull to show the
course of the bullet.
Few Witnesses Produced.
Courtroom spectators we're surprised
that the State had not produced more
witnesses. Several persons, including
passing motorists at the scene of the
shooting. and neighbors of the Frazier
family in Falls Church were not
called to the stand. although they
had told their versions of the shoot
ing and events leading up to it to the
authorities Commonwealth Attorney
Douglas indicated he wanted to dis
close only enough of the evidence at
today's hearing to get the case before
the grand jury.
T There was no mention at the hearing
of disturbance in front Of Mr. Fraz-
ier's home when Mr.. Daugherty was
said by neighbors to have been fol-
lowed from his father-in-law's home
by policeman's car some time before
the shooting.
The defendants, wearing civilian
clothes, sat calmly beside their attor-
ney at the counsel table during the
hearing. William c. Gloth-like> Mr..

Before the last two shots were fired
the witness said, he heard loud talking
from the road. He heard no sound of
crashing glass or any scream during
the shooting, he added
Mr.. Ball, in arguing that insufficient
evidence had been introduced to hold
the two officers, said the Common-
wealth had not gone far enough to
identify the bullets or the guns which
killed Mr.. Daugherty, or identified the
man who was shot, or the man who
did the shooting.
He pointed out that Mr.. Albertus.
the only witness to the actual shooting
to testify, was not able to identify the
officers as the men he saw on the road
during the shooting.
Both Officers Scheid and Knox were
dressed in gray uniforms and Sam
Browne belts that morning, but the
men on the road were not recognized
as officers by Mr.. Albertus, Mr.. Ball
emphasized.
There is nothing to arouse a rea-
sonabhe suspicion that what he saw
was the shooting that caused MIR.

ney said.
Police Record Alleged.
During cross-examination of Airing
ton County Policeman John Conway,
who answered the police call to the
scene of the shooting, Mr.. Ball alleged
that Mr.. Daugherty had a police
record from Washington to New York,
with II arrests in Washington alone 3"
Mr.. Conway and other policemen
said the Arlington County authorities
had not made any investigation of
Mr.. Daugherty's record since he was
slain. In reply to questions from Mr.
Ball, Arlington County Detective Harry
woodward said he did not recall that
Mr.. Daugherty had been stopped and
warned for reckless driving in the
county within the last two or three
weeks.
Officer Conway testified that he
smelled liquor on Mr. Daughertys
breath When the musician was re-
moved unconscious from his auto
mobile which had left the road,
plunged through hedge and crashed
against stump before coming to a
stop after the driver was shot.
Both Officers Scheid and Knox said
they had shot at Mr. Daughertys
automobile after he had tried to run
them down. Officer Conway testified.
The defendants reported to Mayor
L. p Daniel of Falls Church after the
shooting that they had chased the
automobile miles from Falls Church
before stopping it in Cherrydale.
Detective woodward told of his in
vestigatien the day after the shooting.
He said he found four bullet marks on
