As Death Car Driver;
Released From Bond
Firemon Arroiened,
Pleads Not Guilty;
Demands Jury Trial

Less than Is hours after a cor
oner's jury had left 1t up to Police
Court to decide whether a 40-year-
old fireman or his woman compan-
ion was at the wheel of the car
which caused the death of Oscar H.
Schmidt, 50, the district attorneys
office released the woman from re-
sponsibility.
Until a few minutes before the
inquest yesterday, Mabel v. Mad
dox, ~. claimed responsibility for
the death of the elderly cabinet
maker. At that time. after a con-
ference with the defense attorney,
Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
ordered Frederick G. Weissmueller,
the fireman, to stand trial, too.
In making its report the coroner's
jury said Mr.. Schmidt was struck
by a. car operated by either Mabel
V. Maddox or Frederick G.. Weiss
mueller" and ordered them both
held under the Negligent Homicide
Act.
Assistant United States Attorney
David A. Hart early today decided
to unravel the knots. He consulted

At the inquest, confronted by the
testimony of the two other occu-
pants of the car which struck Mr.

his death last Sunday, Miss Maddox
changed the story which, according
to police testimony, she had told
after the accident.
Officer Seeley, who investigated the
accident, testified that Miss Maddox
told him she was the driver. He
added that at the time the other
two occupants also said she drove
the car.
Story Is CorrOb0rated.
Corroborating his statement, De-
tective Sergt. Aubrey NJ. Tolson OF
the homicide squad said that after
Mr.. Schmidt's death he questioned
Miss Maddox and she insisted she
was at the wheel.
On the witness stand William F..
White, a Navy Yard machinist's ap-
prentice, and Miss Lytton w. Dudley,
telephone operator, the other pas
sengers in the car, said Mr.. Weiss
mueller was the driver. Miss Duley,
upon questioning, said she had been
told to tell the police that Miss
Maddox was the driver, but she
couldn't remember" where she had

Wurrenton Sees Gain
In Marriage Licenses

WINCHESTER, Va. April g.
Over 500 marriage licenses have been
issued by city and county clerks
here since January !, a compilation
showed today. Only about 100 were
granted during the same period a
year ago, which was before waiting
restrictions became operative in
Maryland and other nearby States.
Court clerks were estimating that
there were prospects of the number
exceeding 600 before the end of Eas-
ter week. The city clerk issues
about three times as many licenses
as the county clerk because, under
the law, marriage licenses issued by
the latter have to be taken to a
county minister and the bride must
be a resident of the county.

OUR BUDDIES

America we love you, the home of the
brave and true,
The Stars and Stripes, the red, white
and blue.
Again we come to another day when
we bow our heads in prayer
Thanking God for our boys and Ar
mistice Day.
We pay tribute to grave of an I'M
known soldier; yet he may be yours or
mine-he is some mothers boy, and
some daddy's, too; he may be some
ones sweetheart-a husband or a
brother dear.
We love those boys who so bravely
marched away in khaki clad and gal
lantly fought for our U. S. A.. Bud
dies in khaki, we love you because you
were loyal, staunch and true.
We pray our Heavenly Father for
peace that your boys and mine will
never be called to war. It's you, buddy
boys, who knnw the heartaches, strife
and sorrow-the battlecry of No Mans
Land.
While all is still and silent, we hear
the bugle blowing the sound of taps
With tear-dimmed eyes and a heavy
heart memory calls us back to bygone
days: we think of Flanders Fields
where peoples grow. But to us it's
where love grows, for the bloom and
youth of America sleep there. Oh,
Buddy! My Buddy! Yours and mine.
Today we have shining emblem of
patriotic devotion holding out the dove
Of peace, good will and comradeship
to all-American Legion. You Legion
aires we owe our all to you; you are
mighty, staunch and true. We love you
Buddies.
Blest be the tie that binds your love
and friendship. May God grant you
power to grow into an army of love,
friendship and kindness.
You Buddies, you pals so true, Lee
gionaires and Buddy boys, may you
ever be protected and guided by the
shining stars that wave in our flag
the beautiful Red, White and Blue.

a nationwide home prospect survey
conducted through their publication
Small Home Builders Yearbook.
Its objective. according to w.
Wadsworth Wood. president of the
bureau, IS to open the door to a
housing market in its price class
that potentially represents from two
to four million homes in the United
States. 1t is market, Mr.. Wood
contends. that has not yet been
tapped, largely because the homes
built to meet it lack the modern
comforts and conveniences that the
present-day home seeker demands.
Rooms Of Many Uses.
Unique in plan, the National
Home Builders Bureau dwelling was
developed under the theory that
each room of the home-even the
garage-should have multiple
function. contributing to the greater
convenience and comfort of modern
domestic life. An example of this
is the living room, which at once
becomes also library, music room
and solarium, with an ELL that
serves as dining alcove. but which
becomes study for the head of the
household when not used for dining
purposes.

Such home, in the opinion Of
Mr.. Wood, answers the current de-
mand for comfort and up-to-date-
ness in living convenienceS.
