Hendricks Awaiting
Sentence Next Week
For MansIaughter

Homer Hendricks, 46-year-old
Washington tax attorney, remain
ed in the Montgomery County Jail
today, awaiting sentence, after q
Circuit Court jury last night found
him guilty of manslaughter in the
Staying of his wife Gertrude.
The jury deliberated six hours be-
fore bringing in the verdict.
Hendricks may be sentenced to a
maximum of 10 years in the State
penitentiary. Lesser penalties pos
sible are a fine of up to $500, two
years in the county jail, or the two

Mrs. Hendricks was shot and kill
ed early on October 2 at the Hen
bricks home, 5514 Hampden lane,
Bethesda. Hendricks pleaded not
guilty due to temporary insanity
and also pleaded self-defense.
Few in Courtroom.
The dramatic three-day trial end
ed when the verdict was announced
at $50 pm. The jury filed into the
box to find only a handful Of spec
tators present. This was in decided
contrast to the crowds which packed
the courtroom during the taking
of testimony on the years Of marital
strife which resulted in the shoot
ing of Mrs Hendricks.
Hendricks showed no emotion at
the announcement of the verdict
but, as he was leaving the court
room to return to the county Jail, he
shook hands with his three attor-
neys and congratulated them.
Judge Charles w. Woodward
asked F. B. Welsh, one of the de-
fense attorneys, if he wanted to
say anything about imposition of
the sentence. Mr.. Welsh asked for
a delay so he could have time for
a consultation with the other de-
fense attorneys.
Judge Woodward then postponed
sentencing until next week. Mr..
Welsh said the verdict would not be
Told Of Threats.
During 14-hour session on We'd
Hendricks took the stand
to describe the horror of life with
a demon woman" which he said he
had lived since 1910, when his wife
first discovered she had syphilis.
For two hours he related incident
after incident in which she had
tried to kill him.

the north and south boundaries of
the proposed East Capitol street
development of Federal buildings.
The time table recommended by
Capt. Whitehurst for the years
1950-55 was:
During 1850 Develop Barney
circle; work on the K street freeway
between Twenty-f1rst and Twenty
seventh streets NV; the Arizona

During l951-Complete Barney
circle, K street and Arizona avenue
projects; begin work on Mount

some paving on K street NV. and
the extension Of Fifteenth street

Finish Underpass in '52.
During 1952-Complete Mount
Vernon Square underpass: start

grade separation at New York and
Florida avenues NE; begin the
Whitehaven parkway; start K street
freeway from Third street NV. to
Sixth street NE.
During 1854 Complete the sepa-
ration at New York and Florida
avenues; complete Whitehaven park
way; continue work on the North
east section Of K street freeway:
complete work at G, Seventh and
Ninth streets S.W.;; complete grade
separation at South Capitol and NJ

District highway development pro-
jects for the next two fiscal years

eral aid, postwar highway program.
This will take care Of such items as
the twin bridge replacement Of the
present highway bridge, the K street
elevated, the Klingle Road Bridge
across Rock Greek, and Dupont
Circle underpass.
Thus the proposed new program
would begin in the fiscal year 1850
and would be financed entirely with
District funds. If any Federal aid
should be forthcoming from this
date on, Capt. Whitehurst said the
time table of new projects could
be advanced by the extent OF that
aid.
Sixteen projects costing $21 $50 900
have been scheduled by Capt. White
hurst between 1850 and 1855. In
addition, the subsurface streetcar
routes are due for completion with

Alternative Suggested.
Gen.. Young advised his colleagues
of his support Of these items with
the exception Of q freeway in North
Rock Greek Park. He suggested as
an alternative an eventual depressed
freeway on the north end Of Six
teenth street entering the park near
the Zoo.
According to the consultants, the
midcity express way would extend
from Canal street in the vicinity Of
Independence avenue across the
Mall, along Third street as de.
pressed roadway west of Griffith
Stadium, passing under the hill
north of Howard University. Con-
tinuing along the west edge Of the
Soldiers Home property, it would
tunnel through a hill east Of Rock
Greek Cemetery and thence north
east to the District line through
relatively undeveloped property.
Connections would be made with
ueens Chapel road and Riggs road
over the line in Maryland.
The consultants said this express
way would draw q large amount Of

Ford Asks Removal

BY the Associated Press,

DETROIT, Jan. 31-Henry Fore

was on record today with a demand
that Government remove price con-
trolls to clear the path for ''the
kind of operation that Americans
like best-finding way to make
money by beating competition te

Mr.. Ford expressed his views in
a telegram to John w. Snyder, di-
rector of the Office of War Mobil-
ization and Reconversion in Wash
ington, with a warning that unless
his company could get steel
promptly I'VE will have to shut down
completely sometime this week"

said, I'VE have been forced to shut

dustry representatives consider suf-
ficient to enable them to pay USW
wage demands.
The steel workers ask 1914 cents
an hour. United States Steel, tacitly
accepted bargainer for most of the
steel companies, says through its
chairman, Irving S. Olds, it must
have an increase very much more
than $4 a ton before it can pay a
raise of more than Is cents an hour
The Government has been re-
ported willing to allow s4 a ton, al
though the OPA has held steadfast
to its original assertion that no more
than $3.50 should be granted.
(In Washington, the OPA said
|. the current weighted average
price of all carbon steel products
Is $54 a ton and that any in
crease would be added to this.
Increases for some products
would be more than for others.
The OPA declined to discuss the
price on detail basis because
there has been no official dis
closure on the amount of in
crease
Chairman Olds said steel price
greatly IN excess of $6.25 tom
would be required to meet the 1872
cents an hour wage increase recon-
mended by President Truman. Mr..
Olds added:
We are already entitled by law
to price increases by reason of past
heavy increases in our costs, quite
apart from any present wage in
crease"

It's 18th day, picked up momen-
tum today in its impact on re-
lated industries, making an ad-
ditional 1000 workers idle for a
total of $4,000 to date.
Approximately 100000 CIO United
Steel Workers directly concerned In
the strike also are idle.
The Ford Rouge plant at Detroit
laid OF 5000 assembly line workers
on its morning shift today. This IL
in addition to $4,000 sent home last
Friday. The Rouge plant still has
so 900 workers left. but only few

ployes in plants at Battle Greek
Mich; Cleveland and Springfield
Ohio; Charles City, Iowa. and

Further Layoffs Imminent.
Oliver onicials said further lay

were imminent because of shortages
resulting from strikes in the steel,

when DO you think the state
should take the children over from
the parents entirely?" DR.. Maurer
asked Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Smith, backed by Mrs. Velma
Williams, another mother-member
of the board, said the nursery school
service is so valuable" that both
rich and poor children should have
it. Schools give the youngsters
hygienic and expert care which can
not be duplicated in the American
home, Mrs. Smith said.
Mrs. Williams added that she
believes juvenile delinquency could
be corrected if youngsters began to
go to school at years of age in
stead of playing around in the
streets" while their mothers are
working.
Sought $4,000 Fund.
The mothers, headed by Mrs.
Clyde Hunt, had intended only to
ask the board to get a $50,0O0 de-
ficiency appropria ton to continue
the nursery schools through June
But goaded by DR.. Maurer, who in
sisted the crux of the situation was
actually whether they wanted per-
manent State education at 3 years,
the mothers admitted they funda-
mentally are seeking this.
why shouldn't all children begin
that early?" Mrs. Dorothy Thomson,
one of the mother delegates, asked
afterward.
The Rev. Francis McPeek of the
Washington Federation of Churches,
requested that the board get hear
ing before the Commissioners and
announce that it wishes to sponsor
both continuance of the present day
care program through June and
permanent lowering of the compul-
sorry school age to at least 3.
Might Be Good Idea.
DR.. James A. Cannon, physician
member of the board, commented
that starting school at years might
be good idea if the board could be
sure it was not simply giving mothers
"a chance to run around, or hold a
job so they can have a fur coat"
Mrs. Hunt proposed that if the
$4,000 deficiency appropriation iS
granted between February and
June, that present rates for the TOO
children now enrolled in the IA
school centers be hiked from the
present maximum of So per week
per child to at least $12 a week.
This would enable the parents to
pay two-thirds of the operating
costs instead of the one-third they
are now paying. Mrs. Hunt said.
Mrs. Thomson commented that
