To Be Questioned in
Death Of Worthington
Carl MouIinie Held
Without Boil; Wife
Called Material Witness

The 25-year-old wife and the best
friend Of Warrant Officer John H.
Worthington, formerly of Washing
ington, today faced questioning by
Delaware police and Army officials
IN the mysterious shooting of the
Fort Miles Del) soldier, who was
found dead beside his service pistol
at his Rehoboth Beach Del) homie
Thursday morning.
Warrant OfIicer Carl Moulinie. %,
also stationed at Fort Miles, was
held without bail for questioning,

Worthington was described yester-
day by Coroner william I. Conaway
as "only a material witness"
Deputy Attorney General Daniel
J. Layton, jr., said Warrant Officer
Worthington died soon after he
and his wife and Warrant Officer
Moulinie returned to the Worthing-
tons ocean-front cottage at Re-
hoboth Beach.
Wife Calls Police.
Police said Mrs. Worthington and
Warrant Ofhcer Moulinie were in
the cottage when they responded to
a call from Mrs. Worthington that
my husband has just shot himself. ~
Mr.. Layton, however, early dis
counted the suicide theory, COM
menting that the circumstances of
the case made that improbable. The
32-year-old soldier was found lying
on the cottage floor. A bullet had
entered his head behind the right
ear and emerged behind the left
ear, angling slightly upward. Near
his body lay his service pistol, police
said.
An inquest into the death was
postponed suddenly yesterday after
the coroner had impaneled a seven
man jury. The coroner told about
so spectators crowded into a funeral
home for the inquest that he had
been advised by the Deputy Attor-
ney Generals Office that 'the in
vestigation Is not complete and there
is no possibility at the present time
OF getting testimony from Worthing-
tons wife, the, only material wit
ness"

Oficer Moulinie to the scene of the
shooting, while Mrs. Worthington
was taken to the Jail. She was not
seen leaving the Jail, but authorities
refused to say whether she was being
held. There is no charge against
her.
Mrs. Worthington is a graduate of
George Washington University and
has 5-year-old son. Her husband
Is also survived by his mother, Mrs.
Susan Gilboy Of Washington.

Permanent HOUSING
Is Cheapest in End,
lhIder Tells Senator's
Subcommittee Compare:
Two Types Of Projects
In Sixth Inspection

Erection Of permanent housing is
more sound financially than con-
struction of temporary dwellings.
John 1hlder, executive officer of the
National Capital Housing Authority,
today told Senate subcommittee
which made its sixth in a series of
inspection tours.
MIR. Ihlder also expressed the
opinion that of the temporary hous-
ing, demountable dwellings are a
better investment than the de-
molishable type.
The difference between permanent
and temporary housing was illus
trated when the subcommittee in
spected the Parkside Dwellings,
Kenilworth avenue and Barnes lane
NE, and then visited the Foote
street houses nearby, at Foote street
and Kenilworth avenue NE.
Permanents Rent for Less.
The Parkside Dwellings are of per-
manent construction. Although they
are better houses than those in the
temporary Foote street development,
they rent for S5 to $6 less month.
The difference is possible, Mr.. Ihlder
explained because the cost of per-
manent housing can he amortized
over a 60-year period, while rent on
demountables, such as those on Foote
street, must be scaled so as to pay
off the cost within IS years.
Permanent housing costs only $500
Or s400 more unit than the de-
mountables, he said
Mr.. Ihlder told the Senators de-
mountable units are the best in
vestment in temporary housing be-
cause after the war they can be
taken down and reassembled on an
other site. II they are sold, they will
bring higher price than tempo
rary houses of the demolisha BILE
type, he said.
Has 2,000 Demountables.
The Housing Authority now has
1000 demountables and 1900 de-
molishable units.
The Senate subcommittee today
also visited the Langston develop
ment, Benning road and Twenty
flrst street NE, the most luxurious
and costly public housing property
IN the District for colored families.
Mr.. 1hlder explained the Langston
development, now managed by the
NCHA, was built by the Public
Works Administration when the
principal object was to provide en-
ployment rather than housing. This
accounts for the unit cost of about
81, 100 a room, he said.
