Chief Clement Murphy Of the Fire

the transfer of the operation of the
f1re-alarm system to his department
that one-third of all fire alarms now
come from alarm boxes on the street
and all the rest come in by tele-
phone.
The Commissioners ordered the
transfer yesterday. The f1re-alarm
system has been in the Districts
Electric Department or the preced-
ing electrical service of the High
way Department since 1874. Wash
ington was the second city to install
the street fire-alarm boxes. About q
dozen of them were set up in 1874,
and it was necessary to turn wheel
on the box to start the fire horses
plunging down the street.

Veteran Too Shaken
To Face Court on
Wife -qashing Charge

John B. Ballard, 23-year-old Navy
veteran charged with slashing his
estranged wife, Mary, 81, across the
throat last night in Montrose Park,
was too shaken to appear in Munich
pal Court today on charge of
assault with a dangerous weapon.
Assistant United States Attorney
John DIAMOND asked for a 30-day
continuance, due to the veterans
near-hysteria, and also recon-
mended immediate disqualification.
The former sailors father, Charles
Ballard, was making efforts to OBJ
tain his admission to Bethesda
Naval Hospital. No bond has been
set so far.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Ballard was re-
ported in fair" condition at George
town Hospital. Her throat was
slashed, police said, by a double
edged Navy knife, after an attempt
by the couple to effect q reconcilia-
ton had failed. Ballard told police
last night he had intended to kill
her and then end his own life but
"lost his nerve" He gave himself
up shortly after the stabbing.
The young woman was discovered
in a dazed condition at $50 pm. at
Thirty-first and r streets NV. by
a passing motorist, Miss Miriam
Leetch, 1897 Thirty y-frst street NV,
who drove her to the hospital She
was bleeding profusely and appar-
emily had crawled some distance
from the scene of the attack.
Ballard and his wife were. child
hood sweethearts. They were mar
ried in February, 1943, while he was
in the service. Ballard served over
seas more than three years and sur
vived the sinking of two aircraft
carriers.
After receiving his discharge, more
than a year ago, Ballard had joined
his wife at her mothers home, 1919
Thirty fifth place NV. He was en-
ployed briefly in several jobs, most
recently as temporary mail clerk
at the main Post Office, while Mrs.
Ballard was a Labor Department
stenographer. After a domestic
quarrel, November 8, he had left his
wife to live at his parents home,

Post Office Employees
Handling YuIe Mail
To Work Holiday Eve
BY the Asseeiuied Press

Mail carriers and otEer postal
workers whose jobs are in the actual
handling Of mail will not get the
Christmas eve half holiday ordered
by President Truman for most Fed
eral employees.
An order from Postmaster Gen.
eral Hannegan points to the volume
of mail being handled and says
there can be no suspension.
However, departmental workers
those not in the field service and
not dealing directly with Christmas
packages and such-still are eligible
for the free time.
Peak Not Yet Reached.
Mr.. Truman had provided that
agency chiefs might require work
by employees who "for special public
reasons may be excluded" from the
holiday order.
With Christmas one week away,
District Post Office officials predict
the peak volume Of mail this season
Is yet to be reached.
DlStflct FOSCmdSCef vincent y.
Burke disclosed today the flood of
holiday mails is running behind
earlier expectations. This may indi-
cate heavier than usual last-min-
ute rush, he explained.
To handle the heavy holiday
matis, 1890 extra employees already
have been added and another 1000
are to join the staff by Monday for
the anticipated final rush.
Delivery by Christmas Eve.
1t Is contemplated that all Christ
mas mail will be delivered by mid
night Christmas eve. All depart
ment employees who can be spared
viii be given Christmas Day of.
There will be no deliveries at city
and village post offices, and no rural
delivery or window service on Christ
mas Day with the exception of gift
parcels and special delivery mail.
A sufficient number Of volunteers
and special employees is expected for
Christmas Day so that 1t will not be
necessary to require any employe to
work who does not want to.

75D.C. Area Veterans Seek Aid
To Get Homes Promised Them

Fifteen District veterans who had
invested as much as $1,000 each as
down payment for a new home at
one Of the George H. williams vet
Grams housing projects came to the
Veterans Service Center for aid to-
day, after reading a story in The
Star yesterday recounting activities
of the firm.
Most of them, desperate for places
to live, had made no attempts to
get back their deposits. Several
were unaware until today that their
homes would not be completed.
They told similar stories, of as
surances that homes would be COM
pleted within six months, of work
held up by material shortages, of
consistent promises that their down
payments would be refunded.
Delivery Promised in Six Months.
Frank O. Waiter, So, of $500 First
street NE. said he deposited 81 900
on q home at the Riggs Mill Manor
development in September. 'The
contract said my home would be
ready within six months, but ! was
verbally assured it would be ready
by Christmas" he declared.
my home hasn't even been
started yet. I became skeptical soon
after I signed the contract" he said.
$50 when I asked the williams
salesman about it, he said he would
look around for another place" He
then signed a contract for purchase
of a home already built in Bladens-
burg, for which Mr.. Williams was
sales agent, with the understanding
his $1,000 would be applied to the
purchase, he said.
But I haven't heard anything
from that either" he added. Mr..
Walter said he had not asked for
his deposit directly because II had
to have a house. Discharged this
year after five years Of Army serv-
ice, he said his wife and two chill
dren reside in Burlington, VT, and
that he had hoped to send for them
by Christmas.
Delay Was Explained.
Norman Czajkowski, rs, Of 1871
Twenty-eighth street Sc, who also
contracted for a home at the Riggs
Mill project in September, said he
was told a month ago that con-
