Mans Titanic Unrest
Good Sign for World,
|Dr. Marvin Tells Club

There Is titanic unrest abroad
among all men which should give
hope to the world" DR.. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, president of George Wash
ington, declared today.
He spoke at the presentation
luncheon of the Cosmopolitan Club
of Washington in the Mayfower
Hotel, during which he received its
distinguished service medal.
Of the general unrest which he
said exists, DR.. Marvin told the club:
THE truths it enforces are potent
for good. The world is ready to
have faith in human power and in
telligence, and every element and
influence in nature will be subject
to it. -
"The task of getting a living has
proceeded so far that men, in our
most economically advanced ma
tions, have already attained varying
conditions of social security. Now,
along with these social rights, there
will develop concomitant RESPONSE
bilities, making for aptitude and
willingness to work on higher and
more specialized planes"
DR.. Marvin was honored in recog-
milton of his civic service in general
and studies of Washington's hos
pital needs in particular. The club
noted especially his success in OBJ
tanning authorization of Federal
funds for the new George Wash
ington University Hospital.
John A. Reilly, chairman of the
Medal Committee, made the pres
entation. He was introduced by DR.
Edwin H. Silver, the president
Secretary of War Patterson was
among the guests.

Hearing for Mother
In Fire Deaths of 7
Set for March Il

Mrs. Mary Jean Hoffman, 20,
charged by Prince Georges County
police with manslaughter in con-
nection with the deaths Of her two
small daughters in a fire last Fri
day at their Riverdale home, today
awaited a preliminary hearing on
March 81 in Upper Marlboro Police
Court.
The hearing, originally scheduled
for yesterday at Hyattsville Police
Court, was continued by Trial Mag
istrate Arthur P. Owens at the re-
quest of Walter L. Green, attorney
for Mrs. Hoffman. Judge Owens will
preside at Upper Marlboro next
month.
In Custody of Father.
Mrs. Hoffman, who told police she
was away from home at the time of
the fire, is under $1,000 bond In
custody of her father, Earl A. Law,
of SOFA Forty-seventh avenue, Ed
monston. The manslaughter charges
on two counts were based on negli-
gence, according to police.
Bodies of the two children, San
dra Kay Hoffman, 4, and Jean
Louise Hoffman, az, were found in
their home, 6625 Forty seventh
place, in the Calvert Homes Devel-
opment, Riverdale.
In seeking continuance, Mr.
Green told the court Mrs. Hoffman
was unable to attend court yes
terday because of her grief over
loss of her children. Asked by AS
sistant States Attorney Hervey G.
Machen if he would agree to Mrs
Hoffman testifying during the pre-
liminary hearing, Mr.. Green said
he did not know yet.
Cause Still a Mystery.
Meanwhile, the National Capital
Housing Authority today announced
its report of the investigation con-
Quoted last Monday by the Bu-
reau of Standards.
Cause of the fire, the NCHA said
is still a mystery. Based on tests
made during the investigation, the
NCHA ruled out as causes any defect
in the chimney and surrounding
construction, the electric wiring sys-
tenn or a curtain near the stove.
The housing group said the fire
must have originated at some
source which could have produced
blaze hot enough to have ignited
the fiber board ceiling"
The sNCEA said methods are being
studied for increasing the fire re-
sistant quality of the ceilings.

Future Loss of D. C.. Tax Land
To Government Up at Meeting
By Rudolph Kouffmonn, II

Several years ago the city heads
suggested use of Fort Totten Park,
lust north of Soldiers Home, for a
proposed reservoir for the future.
The planners opposed this, suggest
ing as an alternative that the city
acquire privately owned land for
reservoir use. Recently, however,
the city head asked Secretary of
Interior Ksrug to transfer Fort Tot
ten from parks ownership to the
city, thus bringing the matter to
head again.
Before the meeting, the planners
were to receive a delegation from
the Columbia Historical Society,
headed by H. P. Caemmerer, its
president. The historians are to
present plan for restoring the
Francis Scott Key Home, remnants
of which now stand at the District
end of Key Bridge, on a site few
hundred feet from its original loca-
ton. 1t now stands in the way OF
a highway connection between the
bridge and the proposed ( street
elevated highway.
They also were to hear preliml-
nary report of the Fort drive pro-
ject, drafted by their staff to show
the development of the plan since
it's beginning in 1898.

How can the future needs of the
Federal Government for building
sites and the needs of the city for
parks, Fairgrounds, hospitals and
other projects be met without tax
ing too much more District land off
the tax rolls?
The hard-to-find answer to this
question was to be sought today at
a joint meeting of the National
Capital Park and Planning Commis-
sion, the Fine Arts Commission and
the Joint Committee on the Ma
tional Capital including represen-
tatives of 10 national professional
associations.
The meeting was held in response
to a growing demand from the Dis
trict Government that, since any
set formula for repaying the Dis
trict for the amount OF land taken
out of taxation is lacking, some
answer to the land tax revenue
problem be found.
New Inroads Protested.
Recently the city government has
protested against Federal policy in
this respect on number of Spe-
cific projects.
officials have criticized the East
Capitol street development plan on
this ground, have asked that the
Fort drive be scrapped, that the
city's new hospital center be built
on land already owned by the Fed
eral Government and that large
land holding institutions in the
District be reviewed
Groups represented by the joint
committee are the American Fed
Grafton of Arts, the American Insti-
tute of Architects, the American
Institute of Planners, the American
Planning and Civic Association, the
American Society of Civil Engineers,
the American Society of Landscape
Architects, the Garden Club of
America, the National Society of
Mural Painters, the National Asso-
citation of Real Estate Boards and
the National Sculpture Society.
Public Buildings Commissioner w
E. Reynolds, key man in the Federal
building picture, is expected to at
tend the meeting.
Slums to Be Considered.
Other Washington development
problems to be discussed include:
The city's new urban slum clearance
and urban redevelopment program
transportation and highway plans
| of the District Government, future
coming of lower Sixteenth street
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r
Young's six-year municipal i'm
provement program and the ques-
ton of locating World War II
memorials.
Also up for discussion was the
controversial question of the use OF
Fort Totten as city reservoir. The
Civil War fort has been a point oi
contention between the planners anc
/ the Commissioners for some time.

AFGE Criticizes Use .
OF Military Personnel
In Civilian Work

Use of military personnel in essen

American Federation of Government
Employees (AFI) as ubiquitous and
"un- American"
The group, in its semiannual bus
mess meeting at the Statler Hotel.
threatened to request a congress
sional investigation.
Also assailed in the councils reso-
luton were the employment of form
erly commissioned personnel in civ
ilian positions, displacing career en-
ployes through reduction in force
without giving other veterans and
other career personnel an opportu-
nifty to compete for such positions. :"
Salary Reductions Opposed.
The council also opposed wide
spread reductions in salaries and
wages of civilian employees of the
Army and Navy without diminu-
ton of duties and responsibilities
in so-called reclassification pro-
grams without giving such elm
ployes or their representatives an
opportunity to be heard"
Harold E. Smith, national vice
president of the AFGE, said the
resolutions assailed the employment
practices as arbitrary and dis
criminatory, as destructive of the
morale OF all employees, as unfair
un-American and contrary to the
principles of good personnel prac-
tice and to the letter and spirit OF
the Civil Service for the merit sys-
tenn"
| Appropriate Steps Urged.
The resolution further instructed
National President James B. Burns
to take any appropriate steps to
correct these iniqultious practices
including, if necessary, requests OF
Congress that full investigation
be made and that immediate and
strong representations be made to
the departments involved, urging
immediate discontinuance."
Mr.. Burns said he had been in
structed to memorialize Congress to
seek some sort of prohibitory meas
ures against such practices in ap-

Romney Arraigned,
Pleads Not Guilty in
House Bank Shortage

Kenneth Romney, former House
sergeant at arms, pleaded not guilty
when arraigned today in District
Court on charges of making fraudu-
lent statements and concealing in
formation in connection with a
$143,863.77 shortage in that Office.
Chief Justice Bolitha j. Laws set
trial for April 81.
The court gave Romney's attorney,
William H. Collins, Is days to file
motions for further pleas. Mr.. Col
Inns indicated that he may attack
the validity of two counts in the
indictment returned by a grand jury
two weeks ago.
$2,5G0 Bond Continued.
Justice Laws refused a request by
Mr.. Collins that no date be set for
the trial, pending the filing of fur
ther motions.
Romney's bond of $4,000, on which
he was released after the grand jury
indictment, was continued.
Before Romney's arraignment, an
nouncement was made that a new
cashier and assistant cashier of the
banking department of the Sergeant
at Arms Office have been appointed
They replace two veteran officials
who were suspended recently in con-
nection with the audit that dis
closed the shortage in the office,
Sergeant at Arms William F.. Rus
sell said.
Frederick Kissinger of Pennsyl-
vania, a certified public accountant
who has been in business here for
several years, was named cashier
H. Eldred Wilson, an employe OF
the Lincoln National Bank for the
past 13 years, will be assistant
cashier.
Silent on Reasons.
They succeed John Oberholser
who was cashier and A. B. Fang
meyer, who was assistant cashier.
Mr.. Oberholser had been in the
Office more than Is years and Mr.
Fangmeyer for about 10 years.
Sergeant at Arms Russell refused
to discuss reasons for the discharge
of the two men. He and Repubh-
can House leaders explained, how
ever, that neither Mr.. Oberholser
nor Mr.. Fangmeyer is suspected OF
any completely in the shortage
which led to the indictment of
Romney.
When the grand jury began its
investigation early this month, both
men were suspended by Mr.. Rus
sell. A Republican House official
said that under the circumstances
it was thought best not to reinstate
them, although they have been
cleared of any wrong-doing.
