Dining Hall Price Boost

The District Rent Control once
today had under advisement a re-
quest by the operators of Wesley

The Meaning Of Failure

The Community Chest Federation
campaign has reached only $50 per
cent of its goal of $4,000, 600 with
only four more days before the
scheduled end of the drive. To find
out just what failure to reach the
goal would mean to the l25 agencies
of the federation, The Star inter-
viewed directors of the following
agencies. Other interviews will APP
pear on subsequent days.
Salvation Army would have to
turn away the boys who use the
gymnasium because of the lack of
a staff and would have to refuse
help to families living on pension
or other fixed income who could not
maintain a decent standard of liy-
ing on what they received. Six BOYS
are in jail today, Brig. Wesley Bou-
terse, divisional commander, said,
because cut in last years budget
made 1t impossible to keep the boys
recreational building at Sixth anad
E streets operating the year round.
There is only one full-time physical
director, and in the summer, when
he was at camp, the gymnasium
was closed. The boys. who had been
spending their afternoons and eve
nings there, looked for something
else to do, and II of them got into
trouble. Six of them are still in
Jail. The same type of thing can
be expected If the facilities have
to be cut again, Mr.. Bouterse said.
Washington Heart Association is
maintained entirely by the funds
it receives from the federation. and
If its budget is cut substantially, it
would have to be disbanded Alto
gether, since there would be no
funds to pay the staff OF three per-
sons. The volunteer work done BY
physicians, nurses and others, and
the clinics operated by the ilospi-
tails would not be affected. The asso-
ciation is the local office of the
American Heart Association and
the place where all information on
cardiac diseases is assembled. Many
people VITA certain types of heart
disease are able, to carry on almost
normal activity instead Of being
bed d-ridden because they learned
through the educational phase of
the association worlne how to take
care of themselves. Years ago heart
disease" was death warrant; to-
day sometimes through improve-
ments in treatment person can
still lead useful life. The associa-
ton tries to see that the layman
knows this. Its staff is already linn
tied, and II a cut in funds were
necessary, 1t would have to be dis
continued, according to Mrs. Wabe
Martin, executive secretary.
Family Service Association would
have to limit its counseling service
to a smaller number of families This
probably would mean eventually a
rise in the number OF broken homes

moned to adopt a new constitution

ment by Gen. Chou En-lai, head of

Wheeler 5 Defense
In Bernstein Murder
To CONTINUE Monday

Defense efforts to show that Reg
inald J. Wheeler, 2e. colored, was
not connected with the holdup
which resulted in the Staying Of
Maurice L. Bernstein will continue
next Monday when the trial is con-
tinued in District Court.
Also on trial for the murder,
which occurred in the Bernstein
drugstore at 1876 Florida avenue
NV. last June S. is Jesse James
Patton, 81, colored.
Mrs. Ada Plowden, colored, was
called to the stand yesterday by De-
fense Attorney James j. Laughlin in
an attempt to prove that Wheeler
was at home during the holdup.
Mrs. Plowden had rented a room to
Wheeler at her home in the 400
block Of Franklin street NE.
Tells of Seeing Wheeler.
Mrs. Plowden testified she saw
Wheeler on the morning OF June S
as she was returning from the gro
cery store. He went out for a few
minutes, then returned, she said,
The next time she saw Wheeler was
at 2 pm. when he and his wife left
to borrow suitcases for a trip to
South Carolina.
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray asked Mrs. Plow-
den, What time was it when you
first saw Wheeler that day?"
About noon," she replied.
Previous testimony had fixed the
time of the shooting at about IL am.
MIR. Laughlin placed Pasquale
Gesuro, deputy United States
marshal, on the stand.
What is your weight?" Mr..
Laughlin asked.
Interrupted by Judge.
Mr.. GeSuro said he weighed 1874
pounds, at which point Justice
Alexander Holtzoff interrupted to
ask, Now what is the purpose of
this line of questioning, Mr.. Laugh
Linz"
Mr.. Laughlin explained that
Thomas F. Nusbickel. pharmacist
in the Bernstein drugstore, had
pointed out the marshal, while tes-
tifying, as one of the policemen who
were present when he identified
Wheeler in lineup. Mr.. Laughlin
said he wanted to show there is no
similarity between Mr.. Gesuro and
the police officer, Detective Sergt.
Nunzio Bonaccorsy.
The jury has seen both men"
Justice Holtzof said, and the wit
ness left the stand.
Earlier yesterday, Wheeler took
the stand to deny any connection
with the holdup Staying. He also
denied he had signed confession
of the murder. A handwriting ex-
pert is expected to testify later about
the signature on the confession.
