YOUTHS ELUDE.
POLICE NET IN
SANFORD CASE.
Detectives Convinced
Boys Are Still Here

Abandoning hopes for the
peaceful surrender of two youths
who hold the key to the solution
Of the mysterious fatal shooting Of
20-year-old George E. Sanford, de-
tectives have launched a series of
raids to ferret out their hiding
places.
Early this morning squads Of
detectives surrounded two houses
where it was believed the youths
might be hidden, but were unable
to find any clue to their wherea-
bouts.
STILL IN CITY
Chief Of Detectives B. w.
Thompson said he is convinced
Sanfords two companions are
still in the city and added that 1t
is only a question of time until
his men corral them.
One of the youths Is shot
through the hand and Inspector
Thompson believes he will soon
be forced to emerge from his hid
ing place to have the wound
treated
The frantic plea of the mother
Of one of the fugitives who begged
her son to surrender yesterday be-
fore police injure him went un-
needed.
Detectives then launched a
series of raids on four houses the
youths have been known to tre-
quent.
FRIEND IN CELL
Meanwhile James David Posey.
20, a friend of Sanford, remained
in a cell at the Fifth Precinct in
SiSting that he can shed no light
on the mysterious shooting. He
told police he was with Sanford
and the two missing youths sew
eral hours before the shooting,
but left them before the tragedy
occurred.
Sanford, whose home was at
1918 K st. S. E., was killed by a
bullet through the heart early
Saturday morning. His two COM
panions carried his body into the
emergency room at Children'S
Hospital, and then disappeared.
The mother of one Of the miss
ing youths told police she had
been in contact with her son since
the shooting. Yesterday she is
sued a statement through The
Washington Times begging him
to surrender.

PAY WRANGLE
Board Scale MenGceS
School Program

FAIRFAX, Va, Aug. 16.-A con.
troversy between PWA and Fairfax
county school officials over wage
scales today threatened to curtail
the county's $375,000 school build.
Ing program.
The opening of bids for three
new elementary schools, scheduled
for yesterday, was postponed after
the PWA refused to approve wage
scales adopted by the County
School Board for the projects. It
advocated a scale at least rs per
cent higher.
In an effort to prevent curtail.
ment of the program, which would
be necessitated by higher wages,
school authorities are obtaining
sworn statements from builders
and contractors in this section to
sustain the scale adopted by the
School Board.

48 HOURS LEFT;
MATE REFUSES
TO INTERVENE
Unhappy 22 Out Of %
Years, She Says

ROCKVILLE, Md, Aug. 16.
Shadow of the dreaded cat-o-nine-
tails descended closer over the
back of Brown c. Turner, AZ, con-
victed wife beater, today but he
sat in his jail cell here apparently
unperturbed over his fate.
Unless Turner acts to appeal his
case within 48 hours, Sheriff G.
Eddington Bell said he will be
lashed as ordered by the court. A
week ago, the prisoner received
permission to retain counsel to ap-
peal the case, which will serve to
stay the lashing, but since then
has taken no further action.
ASSAULT CHARGED, TOO
Turner was found guilty of the
wife-beating charge by Judge Har-
old c. Smith in Montgomery
county police court August 8, and
at that time had 10 days in which
to appeal to the higher court.
In addition to the wife-beating
charge, Turner was sentenced to
serve one year in the Maryland
House of Correction on conviction
on a charge of assaulting an Off
Ger with a dangerous weapon.
Should an appeal be made, &C
cording to Sheriff Bell, it could
not be heard in the circuit court
until the November court term
and, in the meantime, Turner
would probably be placed in the
House of Correction to serve his
one-year sentence.
WIFE WON'T INTERVENE
Mrs. Bertie Turner, wife of the
convicted man. said today she
would not intervene for her hus-
band, but would let him take the
lashing meted out by the court.
She added:
"I have had to have Brown ar
rested on numerous occasions
for beating me and the children,
and always before I have re-
Tented and felt sorry for him
before he had completed serving
his sentence, but this time it
is different. have not been to
see him since he has been in Jail
this time, and I do not intend
to CO."
UNHAPPY 22 YEARS
"Out of the % years we have
been married I have not spent
more than one happily. have
threatened to leave Brown sew
eral times and I intend to carry
out this threat this time. When
he returns from the Maryland
House of Correction this time
1t will not be to a home with
me-"
Sheriff Bell set a date for the
thorough physical examination,
which Turner must be subjected
to before the laShing, and date
for the whipping probably will be
set Thursday.

WARNS Of MANIA
IN D. c. SPENDING
Senator King, Committee
Head, Cautions Ickes and
Commissioners.

Chairman King Of the Senate Dis
trict Committee. following separate
conferences today with the Commits
sioners and administrator Ickes, ex-
planned the purpose of his visits was
a desire to caution these officials
against an apparent spending mania"
in the District and to oppose "un-
necessary expenditures and waste" in
carrying out the local P. w. A. prot
gram.
He expressed the opinion to both
conferences, he explained that the law
authorizing the District to obligate
itself up to s18,150,000 for P. w. A.
projects should not be interpreted as
"a blanket mandate" and suggested
that the obligations assumed should
be limited to essential construction
only"
If had it all to do over again."
the District Committee chairman said,
Il would not reintroduce such a large
spending program After all, it must
be remembered the District taxpayers
will have to pay back SIS per cent of
whatever obligations they assume and
taxpayers indirectly must repay the
other As per cent in grants, as it all
comes out of the public Treasury"
Taxes Are Discussed.
Senator King first went to the Dis
trict Building. where he conferred with
the Commissioners not only on the P.
w. A. program, which is now being
put into final shape for consideration,
but also discussed taxes and other Dis
trict matters.
He then went directly to consult
with Secretary Ickes for half an hour
on the District program and, Incl
dentally, on P. w. A. projects for
Utah and Western States.
It was after his talk with the P. w.
A. administrator that Senator King
explained that he felt moved by the
spending mania" in the District to
caution against any extravaganza in
assuming obligations for further pub
lie building.
He made it clear. however. that he
favored all essential construction,
enumerating the Municipal Center
the National Guard Armory. hospital
needs and limited expenditures for new
schools. but added a fortnight op-
position to further expenditures for
the public library system.
Not Opposed to Armory.
Il am not opposed to a new armory
for the CITY," Senator King said. THE
present tumble-down building no doubt
ought to be condemned or DESTROYED.
A new armory, I suppose. might we'll
be regarded as an essential project and
I am sure 1t will be placed on the
P. w. A. agenda."
Senator King apparently had a
slight misunderstanding with respect
to the Public Library program, for be-
fore he saw Secretary Ickes he told
reporters he Scould see no necessity
