erty has begun in the Bethesda

|Mocking Bird Joins Orchestra
AS Water Gate Singing Star

The 77th member of the National
Symphony's summer orchestra pre-
fers the bushes to the Water Gate
barge, but he never misses per-
formance.
The orchestra is bigger in winter,
but this musician shuns Constitu-
tion Hall. Not for him are the four
great walls, the decorous audience,
the dinner jackets. -.
He, prefers the cool breeze that
blows from the river, the open
throated music lovers, the casual
good humor of the Sunset Sym
phonies.
The 77th member is a mocking
bird.
Rumors of his prodigious voice,
his range, his vibrato have been cir
culating all summer. Yesterday, a
photographer tried to entice him
into the open-aided by a friendly
piccolo player and the symphony's
first 1utist.

IL SOOl1 OCFC1OPCO GlidU Clllo was
musician with temperament. The
futist tried Listen to the Mocking
Bird" The piccolo player gave a
few tentative toots. A rustic from
the bushes was the only answer.
Then they swung into fragment
Of symphony. Immediately, the
duet developed into a trio. The
bird trilled, tweeted and chirped.
The music stopped, but the bird
continued for tentative bar or
two.
"Fe can't count the bars" ex-
planned Howard Mitchell, the as
sociate conductor.
That's how the musicians know
their ex-oficio member has gotten
into the act. They can't hear him
over their own music, but when
they pause between bars the trill
of the mocking bird keeps right
on trilling.
"If he'd only learned the scores" !"
grinned Mr.. Mitchell, Hell be with
us. He attends enough reh,' ,'arsals." !"
Obviously Cultured.
This is bird of regular habits
and an obviously cultured ba,,k-
ground.

Don't Buy Meat
Drive Planned
Here for Week

A Don't Buy Meat Week" will be
launched here Friday by the Wash
ington Committee for Consumer
Protection which announced today
it hoped to get Congress to investl-
gate high meat prices.
Mrs. Sarah Newman, committee
chairman, said her group had en-
listed the aid of several national
labor, veteran and consumer organ
izationS in order to initiate consumer
action in other cities.
She said the committee would
solicit signatures on a petition call
ing for a congressional investiga-
ton "in order to place responsibility
for the manipulation of prices and
supplies which has resulted In
scarcities and high prices"
Mrs Newman declared in a state
ment:
I'm June, when, meat prices sud-
denly increased 10 to 20 cents a
pound, the committee requested
President Truman to take immediate
steps to control unjustified sky
rocketing of meat prices. At that
time it seemed apparent that ma
nipulation of supplies by spectators
was causing the price rise. In
view of more recent developments,
however, the committee has con-
cluded that only a congressional in
vestigation will air the full facts -

Protest Considered.

against the commissioners rejection
of his petition to rezone for COM
mercial use a tract of land in Brad
ley Hills Grove, Bethesda, was taken
under advisement.
After Mr.. Warren asked the
board to reconsider its decision, F.
Barnard Welsh, attorney to the
commissioners, said:
EFF we start a policy of reviewing
zoning decisions, the result would
be rehearings and no zoning &C
tions."
Mr.. Warren argued that the ap-
plication should have been ap-
proved since there was no opposl-
tion at hearing.

for him when he opens the Water
Gate box office of a Sunday after
noon. The bird hangs around the
box Office giving out with an oc-
casional run.
Mr.. Norris says the customers
listen to the bird and then buy
tickets. A barker, he says, could
do no better.
AS concert time drew near and
the musicians tuned up, the bird
deserts Mr.. Norris and flies into the
bushes nearest the Water Gate
steps. He lets out tentative
chirp OF two until the overture.
Then, if it's to his liking, he gets
down to business.
First Flutist Wallace Mann, who
has given considerable thought tc
his competition on the shore, says
the bird is more interested in melody
than in rhythm.
Yesterday, for instance, when he
was futtering and chirping during
rehearsal with the photographer In
hot pursuit, he maintained cold
silence during Morton Gould's
rhythmic "Guaracha But when
the orchestra broke into LISTS
Hungarian Dance No. S." the bird
didn't miss a note.
Big Moment Arrives.
His big moment came the other
night, though, when the orchestra
performed Peter and the Wolf, "
with the flute initiating the bird of
the fairy tale. The mocking bird
initiated the flute initiating the bird.
Sometimes" said James Arcaro,
the piccolo player, "it sounds as
though he's calling to us. He wants
to hear more tones he can initiate. "
Since this was obvious propaganda
for the futists and the piccolos, the
other musicians let it pass.
Although the bird sometimes has
been seen strutting across the grass
at intermission, he has ventured
onto the barge only once. That was
when Dorothy Maynor, the famous
colored soprano, was soloist. Not
being able to contain himself, the
bird perched on a f1agpole above the
barge and accompanied Miss Maynor
throughout her performance.
Miss Maynor said she was sur
prised but pleased.

Few in Nearby
Agree
To Rent Boost
No Leases Reported
For Big Apartments
In Two Counties

Only Is tenants in nearby Mary
land have signed leases agreeing to
rent increases since July l, records
showed today.
w. L. Thompson, area rent control
representative for Montgomery and
Prince Georges Conties said the
leases, copies of which have been
filed in his Silver Spring Office, pro-
vide for IS per cent increases.
yUnder the new rent control law,
tenants may enter into voluntary
agreements with their landlords for
rent increases up to Is per cent in
leases expiring December 81, 1948.
Large Apartments Not Affected
Mr.. Thompson said virtually all
of the leases were for small apart
ments and private homes in Mont
gomery County. He added that he
had received no copies of leases con-
tanning rent increases for large
apartment units in the two counties
The law specifies that the leases be
filed. within Is days after they are
executed, he said.
Tenants may appeal from a deci-
sion granting 91la per cent rent
increase on So apartment units in
Pelham Courts, 2115 P street NV,
it was said today, as reports of new
rent increase plans and protests in
suburban areas were received.
Edward r. Haigler, attorney for
group OF Pelham Courts tenants,
said a meeting of the group would
be held to decide whether to appeal
from the decision of Robert F. Cogs-
well, District rent control admins
traitor, allowing increases totaling
$1,000 year to Mrs. Allene Barrett,
owner.
Mrs. Barrett had sought boosts
totaling $4,830 to cover increased op-
Grating and maintenance costs and
higher taxes.
1t also was announced today that
a rent increase for the Valois Apart
ments, 1880 Massachusetts avenue
NV, was denied by the District
Rent Administration. 1t was held
that the landlord, Urban Western
berger, had not sustained his claim
OF rising maintenance costs by "ade-
quate proof" The Is tenants were
represented by Joseph A. Roney.
Haywood Gardens Increase Sought.
Meanwhile, management of Kay
wood Gardens, 4101 haywood place.
Mount Rainier, Md, has offered
tenants leases extending through
December 81, 1948, providing a 10
per cent rent increase.
Deadline for signing the leases is
August l.
In a letter signed by Harold
Greenberg, the management said
there is undoubtedly considerable
possibility that rent control will be
entirely abolished when the present
law expires. If that should happen,
and you do not have lease the
landlord would have the right to
charge whatever rent he desires"
David Carliner, war veteran and
attorney who has been recommended
by Fillmore Gardens tenants as a
candidate for the Virginia Rent Ad-
visory Board provided for under the

New Plank Evidence
Disproves Martins
AIibi, Police Say

New evidence picked up at the
house where Norman LIE Roy
Plank was shot to death July will
disprove Alvah B. Martins alibi,
Fairfax County Police Chief Carl
Mcintosh said today.
Martin, 28-year -old diShonorably
discharged Army deserter, who is
held for investigation of murder
has given conflicting stories of his
movements after he was picked
up" in Lafayette Park by the Dis
trict Small Claims Court clerk
The prisoners latest version Is
that he spent all day July drink
ing with Plank in the latter's home
in Chesterbrook Woods near Falls
Church and then took the car OF
Plank's sister, Mrs. Nell H. Burrer
who was away at the time, and
drove to Washington and Philadel-
phia the same night. Officials have
established the time of Plank's death
as about "a hours later.
Vague in Names and Places.
Mr.. Mcintosh would not tell re-
porters the nature of the important
new evidence" but declared 1--WE
now know Martin lied"
Up until now Chief Mcintosh
and 1t. Henry mccarthy have ex-
pressed the belief that Martin was
confused and was making an honest
attempt to aid police in reconstruct
ing events. Martin has been vague
in identifying names and places
figuring in most portions of his alibi,
police said.
Martin today added a new detail
to the series of events he said took
place before Plank's death. He told
reporters he would ask police to take
him to Washington and he would
lead them to a bar visited in q
party of about six people.
II could take them right to the
place where I stayed until IL
o'clock" midnight, July 81, he said.
FBI Checking New Evidence.
He said he could not remember
the names of any one in his party,
but believed the bartender would
remember him. Martin contended
Il can't get my mind quite to-
gether" because of dope" he said
was given him by Kingston IN. "
police at the time of his arrest
Friday.
Chief Mcintosh expressed the be-
lief that Martin would never con-
fess his full part in the events lead
ing up to the shooting and said
police have stopped questioning the
prisoner. The police chief said the
FBI is testing the new evidence and
results would be known some time
today.
1t. Mccarthy, meanwhile, was in
Washington working on the case. He
expressed doubt he would find either

visited there the night of July 5
