Welfare Board Report Capital Transit Asks
Notes Drop in Number PUG Permission 10
0MeedyCasesin in 1945 Improve Seven Lines

A general decrease in the number
of persons needing public assistance
during 1945 was noted by the Board
of Public Welfare yesterday in its
annual report on the District insti-
tutions and agencies it controls.
The board reported an increase OF
% per cent in aid to dependent chill
dren, but all other classes dropped
The public assistance to families
showed almost SO per cent decrease
over the previous year.
In contrast to the decline in the
number of persons assisted, the
board revealed that the average pay
ments during the past year were
higher. This is attributed to the
fact that in the past many individ-
uals have been able to get along on
less than the allowable standard
More cases now need the full allow
ance to meet the increasing cost of
food, clothing and shelter, the re-
port stated.
S35 Per Month to Aged.
The report showed assistance to
the aged averaged S35.23 a month
to dependent children, s6S.7O per
month: to the blind, $500 per
month, and to families, $4O.16 per
month.
In the protective institutions for
children, increases were noted in
two institutions. The Board re-
port stated the number of boys and
girls in the Industrial Home School
for White Children had jumped Is
per cent while the population for
the Receiving Home for Children
has increased approximately 40 per
cent.
Other institutions, the District
Training School, the Industrial
Home School for Colored Children,
the National Training School for
Boys, and the National Training
School for Girls, all showed small
decreases.
Adult Aid About Same.
The number of persons in the
proCecClVe institutions Tor adults, the
Home for the Aged and Infirm, the
Municipal Lodging House and the
Temporary Home for Soldiers and
Sailors remained about the same
during the past year, the report
showed.
The population of the District Jail
showed approximately a 4 per cent
increase while the other two penal
institutions, the Workhouse and the
Reformatory, showed decreases.
The Board report said the "a per
cent decline at the Workhouse may
be accounted for by the fact that
for the first six months of last year
the admissions and discharges were
about the same while in the last six
months the discharges totaled 203
more than admissions.

New Effort 10 Exclude
Vinci Testimony May
Delay Connors Trial

The expected appearance o1
Joseph little Joe) Vinci as a wit.
ness in the Barker-Casbarian mur-
der case may be delayed, possibly
for day, by motion filed yester-
day in District Court in behalf OF
the defendant, Raymond Connors.
Since the court was in recess
James J. Laughlin, attorney fol
Connors, filed the motion with the
clerk. 1t asked Justice David A
Pine to reconsider his ruling of Fri
day that Vinci could testify for the
prosecution despite defense protests
Vinci's testimony is expected tc
shed some light on a mystery al
most a year old. The mystery
which puzzled detectives when the
bodies of Edward Barker, used cal
dealer, and Pany Casbarian, his
card-playing companion, were found
in the auto-trailer Office of Four
teenth and N streets NV. last Feb
ruary %, is why the robbers exc
cuted their victims after going to sc
much trouble to bind them hand
and foot.
Connors Signs Affidavit.
The grand jury indicted Vinci as
Connors partner in the crime, but
Vinci was not arrested until after
Connors had been placed on trial
Mr.. Laughlin's motion, renewing
has fight to keep Vinci from the
stand, was accompanied by a long
affidavit signed by Connors asking
that John w. Fihelly, on leave from
the United States attorneys Office
be recalled from Japan for question.
| ing. a e.-
Mr.. Fihelly who is assisting ir
the prosecution of japanese wal
criminals, prepared the case agains,
Connors before he left. Connors
affidavit said that Fred Barone, 8
New York attorney representing
Vinci, had conferred with Mr.. FL
helly last fall and that it was known
at all times where Vinci could be
located. Vinci, Connors charged
was kept under cover until the trial
started to circumvent a requirement
that defendant must be notified
two days before trial of the wit
nesses to be called against him.
Barrett Accused of Betting.
Connors' statement said that In
spector Robert J. Barrett, chief o1
detectives, was under great pressure
to solve the murders, and that In
spector Barretts uncle, Col. Edward
j. Kelly. retiring superintendent oil
police, was close friend of Mr.
Barker, one of the murdered men
Connors also stated that Inspector
Barrett had bet money-totaling
more than $100-that Connors would
go to the chair.
Connors' statement went on to say
that Inspector Barrett had allowed
a report that Vinci had confessed
to leak to the press in the hope that
it would come improperly to the
ears of the jury, to the detriment OF
Connors' right to a fair trial.
The trial will enter its third week
tomorrow The Government is ex-
pected to close its case by Wednes-
day,

 Brown threatened Yale only m the opening minutes. But once Howie Odelrs machine started roll- ing, it amaSsed 2e5 yards on the ground and l55 yards in the air. The margin of victory was the wid- est in the 5l game series between the rivals. Levi Jackson. the high flying Yale fullback, added three more toachdowns to his total and passed for another score.
 Wesleyan had a big scare from an underrated Williams team, but finally crossed the double strip with less than three minutes to play. That touchdown won the Little Three" title for the WeSmen.
 Led by big Bill Moll. who crossed the goal line three times. Connecu- cut had an easy day against Rhode Island State. Walt Trojanowski, top scorer in the nation last year with g touchdowns. got his first tally of the year.
 Trinity made it four in a row when it showed under Norwich. Three touchdowns early in the sec ond half iced the game for the Hilltoppers.
