room, last month, when he sent
for his wife and child. MIR. Ross
helm is now employed at a. Silver
Spring radio appliance store. ...,..
John A. Brickley, +owner Of the
building in which the Rossheims
live, said he rented the room to
Mr.. Rossheim for an electric shop
He said Mr.. Rossheim then
brought; his furniture and his wife
and child from New York and used
the room as living quarters Mr
Brickley emphasized that he never
intended to rent the room for liv-
Ing purposes but that he did not
want to evict the Rossheims be-
cause OF the housing shortage.
Mr.. Rossheim admitted that he
had rented the place for use as an
electric shop, but that after he had
arrived here he was forced to live
in the room because he could find
no other accommodations.
The housing Office is open from
am. to 4:30 pm. and from 7 to pm
Monday through Friday and from
9 a m. to. noon on Saturdays.
To date, the Federal Public hous-

Revision of the educational and
training program at Lorton Reform
atory to emphasize trades and types
OF employment especially needed in
the District was discussed by parole
authorities yesterday during a pro-
gram on The Need of a Construc-
tive Program for Parole Supervi-
sion."
The speakers were Hugh F.. Rivers.
parole executive of the Board of In
determinate Sentence and Parole for
the District, and Raymond Larkin,
supervisor Of parole and classifica-
ton at the National Training School
for Boys. They appeared at the
monthly meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Bureau of Rehabili-
tation, Community Chest agency,
in the YWCA, 619 E street NV.
Besides referring to revision of the
program at Lorton, Mr.. Rivers
pointed out that about 400 men are
on parole and 300 on conditional
release in the District, and the
present five-man staff should be in
creased to permit better supervision
and provide for social investigation
OF every man as soon as he enters
jail. Greater efficiency would also
be promoted by closer cooperation
between the probation department,
the institution and the parole ONCE,

C|en1encyAsked
For Mcfarland
In Final P| lea
Appeal to President
Lost Step in Bottle
To Escape Chair

An application for executive elem
ency was on file with the Justice
Department today-the "last straw
In the battle to save Earl Mcfarland
from the electric chair.
The appeal for communication to
LIE sentence was made by the two
attorneys who defended Mcfarland
In his trial for the murder of 18-
year-old Dorothy Berrum on Hains
Point in October, 1914.
The application was filed with
Daniel Lyons, pardons attorney,
who will investigate the case and
make a recommendation to Presi-
dent Truman. Then the President
will determine whether to spare Nc
Farland's life or to allow him to
die as scheduled on June IA.
George A. Cassidy, jr., attorney
who filed the application with At
torney P. Bateman Ennis, said the
plea included several exhibits, in
cluding about so letters from we'll
wishers, petition from McFarland's S
birthplace near Knoxville, Tenn,
bearing thousands of signatures,
and letters from Marine officers who
were McFarland's superiors when
he was in the service.
Mr.. Cassidy admitted 1t was about
the last straw" in legal processes
that might save McFarland's life.
The petition for clemency signed
by Tennessee friends and neighbors
came as q direct result of McFar-
lands escape from the District Jail
April 8. When he was captured in
Knoxville eight days later his ap-
pearance had created a wave of SYM
pathy for the youth whose criminal
tendencies had budded there IA
years before.
