Shrub TFansuIants

In transplanting shrubs, some soil
should be retained on the roots and
good soil worked in about the plant.
If water is available, run some in
about the roots as the soil is added.
AT least one-third of the older por-
tions of the shrub should be pruned
out and young shoots tipped back,
before transplanting.

Veterans Must Repay
Funds0wed VABefore
Re-entering Schools
Star Staff Photo

Washington veterans who plan to
re-enter schools or on-the- job train
ing programs this fall will be cut
of from Government subsistence if
they have failed to repay overpay-
ments already received under the
CT Bill, it was learned last night.
Veterans Administration officials
said more than 5000 overpayments
have been made to Washington vet
Grams, and about $458, 900 is still
owed the Government by former
servicemen here.
The agency doesn't know how
many veterans are involved, officials
explained, because in nearly every
case, more than one overpayment
went to each of the CT Bill frances.
s47,OO0.OO0 Owed.
Throughout the country, however
more than 497, 900 former service
men have received overpayments
the agency said. At the beginning
OF last month, more than SAT OOO.-
600 still was owed the Government.
Most of the overpayments were
made during three-month period
last fall, when Congress put a limit
on the total incomes trainees and
student veterans could receive each
month.
The CT Bill amendment said the
combined incomes of subsistence al
loWances and earned pay for mar
r1ed trainees could not exceed 5000
month. A SITS limit was set for
those without dependents. If the
total incomes exceeded those limits,
the agency began scaling down sub
Sistence payments to make them
conform.
1t took the Veterans Administra-
ton from August to November, 1886
however, to adjust the payments
During that period, veterans received
full subsistence grants-no matter
how much they earned-and were
billed for anything over the in
come ceiling.
Trainees who continued the pro-
grams this year had the overpay-
ments taken out of subsequent
checks.
Many, however, dropped out en-
tirely. Unless they make the re-
payments, they will not be allowed
to re-enron for CT training this fall.
The repayments can be made in
small amounts or by deductions from
future subsistence grants. Arrange
ments can be made at the regional
Office, 1925 H street NV.

Johnson Murder Gu,
Now Sought Among
Known Criminals

A roundup of known criminals
Swelled the usual weekend police
collection of troublemakers last
night, as detectives continued to
seek a break in the murder of Mrs.
Adele Gentry Johnson.
Detective Capt. Robert s. Bryant
said nothing new had been TN
covered during the day, however
in the search for clues to the killer
of the 62-year- old rooming house
operator.
He said police were bringing in
for questioning many characters
known to them for participation lin
robberies and housebreakings, par
ticularly those in which violence
had been used.
Suspects Questioned.
Detectives also planned to screen
carefully. The groups Of peacebreak-
ers arrested during thes night. in
normal patrol work, he added.
Two suspects subjected to extend
ed questioning yesterday were clear
ed. Capt. Bryant said.
Mrs. johnson was shot to death
Thursday night in the basement
doorway of her home at 1728 New
Hampshire avenue. She had gone
to the door with her ,38-caliber
pistol after having been awakened
by her sister, Mrs. Mary Morrow
who said she had seen a mans
shadow at a window.
Mrs. Johnsons, pistol was dis
charged twice as she fell, but police
said the course of the bullets
through the screen door made it
appear improbable, either hit the
killer.
ProwIer Is Described.
The prowler was described as a
tall colored man by several tenants
of Mrs. Johnson's home and other
rooming houses, who said they saw
him when attracted to their, win
dows by the shots.
The previous night, the residence
OF Mrs. Garfield Swift at 1870 New
Hampshire avenue was robbed of
$3.50, the life savings of maid.
Police also received a theft re-
port Friday night from the guest
house on the other side of Mrs
Johnson's-that of Mrs. Elizabeth
Sample, 1925 New Hampshire ave.
Mrs. Sample said yesterday she
felt sure the theft of camera from
the room of Mr.. and Mrs. Neal Du
Toit in her home had no connection
with the activities of the prowler
who shot Mrs johnson or with the
robbery of 1870.
She pointed out there was no
evidence of a HOUSEKEEPING. AL
though the cameras disappearance
was discovered in the last few DAYS,
it might have been taken sometime
ago, Mrs. Sample said. She added

pected to begin falling at noon, con.
tinue until the morning Of January

The dispatcher's Office set in mo-
ton a well-laid plan. The COM
pany's bulky snow book" compiled
every fall, details the part each
transportation man is to play when
the snow alarm comes. Within six
minutes, all bus divisions had been
notified and instructed to check

The snow started at Ills pm, the
dispatcher's report for that day re-
cords, and the temperature was 81
degrees. Emergency trucks were
ordered to light all burners in their
sections at 2:30 pm. Sand-sprink-
ling facilities were modified, and
10-wheel trucks, ordered held in
readiness.
That was the beginning Of battle
waged by 600 men, % snow -sweepers

At times like this, key transporta-
ton men, such as Ernest E. Boyd
superintendent of transportation
and Chief Dispatcher Albert K
Baker, may go without sleep for
days. The start of snow or sleet
is the signal for mobilizing every
available man, no matter what the

time that streetcars pass any one

has happened.
If the delay continues more than
few minutes, an inspector is dis
patched to the location. In many
cases, all inspector is on his way
to the scene before the telephone
report from the trainman is re-

another means of anticipating and
