Accidental falls cost the lives of
five elderly District residents last

for the year to 216, according to
the District Red Cross Accident
Prevention Service.
Hospitals treated 81 persons dur
ing the week for injuries they re-
ceived at home, and falls, as usual,
topped the list, accounting for 40
of the accidents.
A 90-year-old woman fell from

mitted to Freedmans Hospital.

The average, Government worker
in Washington today is actually
earning about $1,000 a year less
than the S3,652 which the Bureau
of Labor Statistics says is needed
for a family of four, the Washington
Industrial Union Council said last
night.
The CIO group said the average

average weekly take-home pay of
$2193 a week, or s1,140 year. The
bureau figures include tax payments.
The committee said "the need for
substantial wage increases both in
the Government and private in
dustry is emphasized by COMPARE
son of actual earnings with the
Bureau of Labor Statistics budget. "
The committee used the findings
of the University of California
Heller Committee, a well-known
cost-of Living index. to show that
wage earners employed by the
Government in Washington would
need to earn $4,268 year (as of
September, 194O for a family OF
four.
The figure for a white collar
worker, the CIO group estimated, is
$5,710 year. an increase of $685. or
13 per cent from September, 1916, to
September, 1947
Pay raises and wage increases in
Washington, the CIO stated, have
Jagged "far behind" those in the
country as whole in recent years,
thus putting the local worker in a
more difficult position that those in
other cities.

The collector also hoped to
obtain a young gorilla which
Gargantua and his circus mate
might be willing to adopt in the
absence of babies of their own.
Neither project worked out
very well, however. The Bel
gians were reluctant to grant
export permits for young goril-
las, and the high jumpers went
higher when they took off from
ant hills.
So Mr.. Barry, man of ingenu-
ity, made a try for the wild cattle.
This project called for diplomacy
and persuasion in view of the
fact that the king was rich in all
things that he desired and had
little, if any. interest in Yankee
dollars.
Mr.. Barry had an inspiration,
he said. He told the King
through an interpreter that 1t
would be a great honor If his
majesty would collect a dozen in
yambos as . Christmas gift to

King Rudahigwa of Ruanda

Christmas gift to President Tru-

The gift no doubt is just what
the President needed-a whole
herd of inyambos from the shores
of Lake fanganyika, complete
with curly hair, 6 to 8 foot horns
and very wild dispositions. In
fact, inyambos, according to How
ard Y. Barry. who helped corral
them, are wild enough to break
through anything but Federal
red tape. An inyambo, for the
uninitiated, is very similar to
the Texas longhorn cattle.

lives at Buckingham, Pa, while

To this the king graciously
agreed, and the two set forth into

Son Back Is Planned
BY Mrs. Charrington

Mrs. Marsyl Stokes Charrington

night through an attorney that she
would use every means available
to me" to return her 6-year-old son
Robin to the United States from
England, where her husband took
the boy by plane this week.
Robert Montgomerie- -Charrington,
former British army officer, left
Warrenton with the boy last Mon
day while his wife, from whom he
I has been separated for six months,
was shopping in a nearby town. He
landed in England several days later
by plane, from Montreal.
IN a statement from London yes
terday he said he went to Virginia
with the express purpose of per-
suading my wife to return here ito

Wife Prefers Life in U. S.
"She was unwilling to leave Amer
ica,' he stated, "and as Robin,
being a British subject, had origi-
nally Travelled here on my passport
for the purpose of a holiday, and
indeed was still on my passport.
/ was advised that I was entitled
to bring him back. My intention
to do SO was communicated to
officials in Washington and in order
to avoid embarrassment to any one,
ard especially to the child. I
arranged transport at short notice
and by devious routes. Robin has
always lived in England and his
home is here. He is now staying
with relatives and he is we'll and
happy.
Informed of this statement. Mrs
Charrington last night authorized
her attorney. William SAKE. of New
York City, to issue reply to what
she termed "the SNUG statement
of my husband" She accused her
husband of having taken the child
"silrreptitiouslv and without warn
ing"
Action Called Selfish.
Il cannot avoid the conclusion
that my husbands act is both un-
fatherly and selfish" the statement
declared in part. "It is obviously
against the child's best interests.
"All this nonsense about bringing
him up in the British way of life is
sheer hypocrisy. have always sup
ported my son and myself with no
substantial help from my husband
am an American. I intend to use
every means available to me to see
that Robins health and happiness
are preserved And this can only be
accomplished by his prompt return
here to me-
Mr.. SAKE said Mrs. Charrington
very definitely" will institute legal
action for the recovery of her son.
