Of all the tough characters Imet in my colorful Chicago days, the one who most stands out has beer virtually forgotten-Peter Neider- meier.
 He was the leader of the Car barn Bandits. The others were Harvey Van Dine, Gus Marx anC Emil Roeske. They didn't usually stick their victims up-they killed them first, then robbed them. They had murdered 34 men before they shot from the outside and killed g sleeping cal conductor and two others in the old Stewart Ave. car barn and got away with $6 GOO, one Sunday morning.
 Marx. over six feet, a few nights later, was drinking in Greenberg' saloon, at Robey and Addison. He was drunk on beer. He pulled out two reyolvers and said, The cops want me. Ii this one won't get lem, that one will Greenberg sneaked to a phone and called Her man Schuettler, then captain al Sheffield Ave. station. He sent De- tectives Quinn and Blaul to the saloon.
 Quinn came in the front door and Blaul the side door, Marx knew Quinn and saw him in the mirror He turned and Killed him. Blaul hit him with his billy, knocked him out. dragged him to the booth and stood on his chest while he called the wagon.
 We didn't know who Marx was but Schuettler broke him down Marx confessed the night Neider- meier. Van Dine and Roeske had planned to dynamite the station kill every cop in it and reecue Marx. Now they beat it to dug out in nearbz- Indiana in the sand- dune country.
 A male school-teacher came into our editorial office and told us he had seen some mysterious men there. Led by Schuettler, we made up a special train and pulled ur near the dugout. We surrounded it. The trio picked off and with rifles killed a detective and a dep uty sheriff, then escaped into the cornfields.
 Farmers joined the posse and the fields were surrounded. After many hours-and after the bandits hac commandeered an engine am killed the young engineer, but de- railed the locomotive at a closed switeh-Van Dine and Niedermeiel came out, hands up, wounded ant frozen

Alexandra MANAGER
Protests Estimate on
Gas Line as Too High

Alexandria City Manager Carl
Budwesky yesterday described the
Rosslyn Gas Co.'S $4,000 estimate
for installing gas line to the new
Alexandria veterans housing project
to be built on Duke street extended
as far more than the city should
pay"
I'VE certainly have no intention
of paying the gas company that
much, and I am satisfied we can
make an entirely different arrange
ment," he said.
Explaining that negotiations for
the gas line constitute the final part
of preparation for the 85-unit de-
velopment of prefabricated houses,
Mr.. Budwesky said the city is going
ahead with sewer installations, and
has made satisfactory arrangements
with the Alexandria Water Co. and
Virginia Electric & Power Co. for
service.
The $4,000 figure from the gas
company came to his Office in a
report from Robert S. Marshall, di-
rector of the Alexandria Housing
Authority, Mr.. Budwesky said, add
ing that the figure appears to him
to be an amazing" one.
The AHA can now close the con-
tract with the Federal Public Hous-
ing Authority which has agreed to
provide the units as the title to the
land is now clear and is in the
hands of the city, Mr.. Budwesky
said. About go days will be re-
quired for construction of the So
two-bedroom units and 26 one-bed-
room units, Mr.. Marshall said.
Mr.. Marshall added that he is
appealing to veterans to fill out
forms issued by the Mayors Emer-
gency Housing Committee for a sur.
vey of housing as requested by the
National Housing Expediter Wilson
Wyatt. Few forms have been filled
out, and it is necessary to have q
large number in order to give build
ing contractors the true picture o1

dria. he said

Throughout the course, the Jail

rector of the new District Depart

tne training program.
Training Is Thorough.
They weren't just trained to be
strong arm men," emphasized Mr..
Clemmer. They also learned the
psychology of handling a human
being. They got an understanding
of crime. They weren't taught to
coddle prisoners but they did get
a perspective to interpret what men
do inside and outside of Jail in
terms of their past life
Along with the lectures and re-
quired reading of two standard
books on prisoner work, the men
learned self defense.

in judo, firearms and the use of

5000 Here Get Help
From uses on Jobs

More than 5000 persons received
employment coynseling during the
past year in the two Washington
offices Of the United States Employ
ment Services which doubled its To-
cal staff over that period, Fred q.
Hetzel, director, announced yester-
day.
The service was established here
in July, 1945. to expedite job place
ments for returning war veterans
and displaced war workers. The
original staff of six counselors was
supplemented by as many veterans
who served as special advisors to
servicemen.
Reporting that greatest attention
was devoted to veterans seeking
counsel in the local Offices, Mr.
Hetzel explained that 1886 Of the
veterans saw service in World War
II, while veterans of both wars to-
tailed IS per cent of the 5,528 men
and women applicants.
Most veterans, 1t was disclosed,
were between 19 and IS, whose edu-
cation had been interrupted by the
war or who had no previous job ex-
perience. Although the number of
non-veteran applicants was rela-
lively small, their problems showed
wider diversity, Mr.. Hetzel said. He
added that testing of new tech
niques of USES in providing voca-
tional help, conducted by the Guild
ance and Amusement Section of
the Veterans Administration, had
proved effective.
Paramount difficulties experienced
by the local Offices, according to
the director, were the problems of
veterans with limited skills and in
terrupted education, and mental
attitude developed during military
assignment against certain clerical
and teaching Jobs.
