visions of the federal old age
insurance program reveal that
social security is making def
mite contribution to the economy
of this state. It is giving to its
recipients a regular income which
in turn helps to stabilize the eco
nomic life of the community, Mr..
Boettcher states.
"The Yakima office" Boettcher
concluded, "is here to serve this
community in all matters pertain
ing to social security. It is partic-
ularly important that elderly
workers nearing retirement age
and survivors of deceased work.

out how the old age and survivors

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. 15.-A 33-
foot Swedish vessel carrying 16 per-
sons. including women and S
children. was struggling in heavy
seas about 100 miles of the Virginia
coast yesterday, bound for New
York.
The group left Stockholm aboard
their sturdily built homemade craft
240 days ago. They had reached a
point 40 miles off the New Jersey
coast when a big blow swept the
tiny craft far to the south.
Crew members of the destroyer
John Gray who delivered water and
supplies to the ship, said one of the
men was barefooted, working on
the deck just before it began to
snow. The shippers name, they re-
ported, was Capt. Pal Hearig. All
of the passengers apparently were
in good health, they added.
The crew said they left Spain 124
days ago. Their vessel was equipped
only with sails and a Diesel motor.
They navigated with the aid of a
small globe and compass, but their
location checked almost perfectly
with the destroyer's charts.
The Swedes said they planned to
make their home in the United
States.

Board Of Trade Unit
Asks $1,000 Item 10
Help Solve Parking

After hearing Government and
civic leaders who are spearheadine
attempts to solve Washington's
parking problem, the Traffic Com
mittee of the Washington Board OF
Trade yesterday called on the Senate
to appropriate 5000 to pay the
salary of a full time director for the
District Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency.
The $1,000 item, cut from the de-
ficiency bill by the House, has been
reincorporated in the measure by
the Upper House, but the bill still
has to make its way through COM
mittee and to the Senate floor for
a vote before going to conference.
The meeting of the Traffic Com
mittee yesterday at the Willard
Hotel was attended by approx
mately rs committee members and
was addressed by Maj. Gen. u. S.
Grant III, chairman of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commits
sion; P. Y. K. Howatt, chairman of
the District Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency; George E. Keneipp, man
ager of the Keystone Automobile
Club, and Washington I Cleveland,
manager of the District of Columbia
Motor Club of the American Auto
mobile Association. Capt. H. c.
Whitehurst, District director of
highways, and William H. Van
Duzer, director of vehicles and
traffic, were present.
United States Employees Cited.
Each speaker covered a somewhat
different aspect of the parking
problem.
Gen. Grant stressed the need for
the Federal Government, Washing
tons largest industry" to provide
adequate short time and all day
parking for its own employees. 1t
would be to the Governments own
advantage to provide such space, he
said, and would leave the rest of the
city free to cope with its own acute
parking problem.
Mr.. Howatt said the primary aim
of his recently reactivated agency
would be to prevent the decentral-
ization of the Districts downtown
business area, which he described as
falling within Fifth street, Nine
teenth street, M street and Consti-
tuition avenue NV, with resultant
loss to the District of tax revenues.
He said that to do this, all 1879
parking spaces, on and off the street,
in the area would have to be re-
stricted to three hours or less and
that 5000 more parking spaces would
have to he added.
All-day Parking Considered.
Secondary to the short-time park
ing problem, he said, would be pro-
vision for the an-day parker. Cars
driven to work in 1889 by Federal
workers alorte, he said, would oc-
cupy 26 garages covering space
six times as large as the Commerce
Department Building.
Mr.. Keneipp said he felt no stone
should be left unturned to provide
some facilities for a1l-day parkers.
Mr.. Cleveland said he, too, favored
fighting against business decentrali-
zation by improving parking con-
ditions for sKort-time parkers. He
emphasized that private. interests
are ready to invest money in Off
street parking provided. they have
assurance Government sponsored
parking will not undercut prices
they must charge.
He added. that more parking
meters should be installed.

Suspended Jail Guard
Resigns When Given
Chance for Hearing

Charging through his attorney
that he had been suspended without
"a fair and just opportunity to be
heard" Lawrence A. Howard today
resigned as q guard at the District
Jail. He has been under suspension
since November rs, the day after
the escape Of five prisoners from the
jail.
His resignation, submitted through
Attorney Charles e. Ford, was
Howard's answer to a letter from
Claude o. Botkin, resident jail
superintendent, charging the guard
with violating regulations and CIV
ing him an opportunity to request
a hearing.
"As you well know but may de-
sire to forget" Mr.. Ford wrote
Mr.. Botkin, ION Sunday morning,
November Is, 1945, you suspended
Mr.. Howard without giving him q
fair and just opportunity to bs
heard. Now. 20 days later, you
advise him of charges and afford
him an opportunity to be heard.
Because Of this you will find inclosed
Lawrence A. Howards resignation"
Three Infractions Charged.
Mr.. Botkin's letter, dated Decem-
ber II, accused the guard of three
infractions of rules, all of which
were denied in Mr.. Ford's reply.
Before final action is taken on
these charges, you are hereby
granted five days within which to
make any reply you care to make
with reference to these charges"
Mr.. Botkin informed Howard.
The guard could have requested q
board of inquiry hearing on his
suspension, and after that, might
have carried an appeal to the Dis
trtct Personnel Board, Mr.. Botkin
said.
Awaiting Grand Jury Action.
Mr.. Botkin's letter accused Howard
OF taking money from a former
prisoner to purchase articles for an
inmate and Of carrying verbal and
written messages from prisoners to
outsiders, contrary to jail rules.
The jail superintendent said How
ard admitted both these violations
while questioned at police head-
quarters" AS result of this in.
vestigation, Howard was charged on
two counts of attempted extortion
and now is awaiting grand jury ac-
ton.
At the time of the jail break
three weeks ago, Jail officials said
Howard was on duty in cell block
