Coroner Calls Deaths
Of Two in Apartment
Murder and Suicide

Coroner A. Magruder Macdonald
has ruled that Archie M. Archer
strangled Mrs. Fern v. Hardin and
then shot himself.
The coroner last night issued Ger
tificates of murder and suicide in
the two deaths after a handwriting
expert exploded the theory of a
death pact.
Both bodies were found yesterday
morning lying beside each other on
the bed of Mrs. Hardin's apartment
at 1909 B street NE. On the dresser
were two notes. both in masculine
handwriting. Both were signed by
Archer and one. declaring I'VE just
couldn't 60 on like this" apparently
was signed by Mrs. Hardin
Later in the day, however, Ira
N. Gullickson, police handwriting
expert, determined that Archer
signed Mrs. Hardins name as well
as his own.
1t. jeremiah Flaherty, head of
the homicide squad, then declared
police believed Archer choked Mrs.
Hardin to death, wrote the notes and
then shot himself through the right
temple. Coroner Macdonald fixed
the time of death at about So hours
before the bodies were found.
Mrs. Hardin, 81, mother of two
children, was head of the kit pack

District to Look for Tenants
For Homes That Don't Exist

The Commissioners today sched
uled a public hearing to determine
which low-income families should
live in low-rent public housing
which never has been built in the
city.
The hearing was set for 10 am.
January 10 in the District Building.
Engineer Commissioner Gordon r.
Young said the hearing was futile. y
But Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West ruled that the hearing must be
held because the District Redevelop-
ment Act of 1945 requires it.
The situation is this:
Congress created the Redevelop-
ment Land Agency and authorized
an appropriation of $20,000,000 to
acquire slum- area land. This land
then was to be sold to both private
and public builders for low-cost
housing.
No money was appropriated, how
ever. Land was never bought, and
buildings never erected.
The hearing must determine the
maximum net family income falling
within the lowest 20 per cent of all
family incomes in the District. Also
1t must determine whether admin

Mason Says Barrett
Anticipated Request
For Civilian Police

The so-called mystery of the de-
velopment of the idea for the or
ganization for a civilian police re-
serve corps for the District was
cleared up today by Commissioner
Guy Mason.
Mr.. Mason said that Police Chief
Robert j. Barrett suggested the
corps in anticipation Of a recon-
mendation for such groups by the
Office of Civil Defense Planning in
the Pentagon. He said the police
chief told the Commissioners at
one of their meetings, when the
idea first came up, that recommen-
dations for police reserve forces
would be included in the civil de-
fense report by Russell j. Hopley,
director of the civil defense agency.
He said the Commissioners de-
cided to work up the program i'm
mediately to get head start.
Commissioner John Russell Young
previously had stated that the corps
was for civil defense.
Maj. Barrett's original recon-
mendation to the board on paper
carried no reference to the civil de-
fense angle, however.
Mr.. Young on Tuesday said that
further work on getting the corps
organized would be shelved until
after the Hopley report recon-
mendations had been approved by
the President and Congress. He
added that everything was ready to
60 when this occurred, however.

istrative or interpretive difficulties
or unsatisfactory progress in the
provision of low-rent housing re-
quires a modification of the defini-
ton of public low-rent housing"
which is contained in the act
The Commissioners obtained from
the Census Bureau last year the in
formation that 20 per cent of fam
lilies here receive less than $3.50 a
year. The hearing must formally
determine" this figure.
Gen. Young said:
There have been no administra-
tive difficulties arising out of the
determination since there has been
nothing to administer. There are
no interpretative difficulties con-
nected with this particular figure
at least, do not see that there are
or will be-and in any case, the
question could not be answered until
something starts happening and
cases arise which must be inter-
preted."
Gen. Young added that while
there had been no progress in the
provision of low rent-housing. the
reason is "unconnected with any
determination Of income limita-
tions."

Special zoning Committee
To Study Parking Increase

The nine-man Citizens Commit
tee appointed to study how the Dis
trict's zoning laws may be changed
to provide more off street parking
facilities will hold its first meeting
next Wednesday.
Robert o. Clouser, planning di-
rector of the Zoning Commission
and chairman of the Citizens Com
mittee, said the meeting will prob
ably be only an organization meet
ing. 1t will be held in the District
Building at time to be announced
later.
The proposed amendments to the
present zoning regulations which
the committee will consider will re-
duce the amount of space that build
ers of apartment houses are re-
quired to provide for each car and
would allow erection of parking
plazas in certain residential areas
where it is now forbidden. If the
regulations are changed. George
Washington University could then
go ahead with its plans to erect q
parking plaza near it's hospital.
The committee was appointed last
month by Engineer Commissioner

To Be Reconsidered

The Public Utilities Commission
today decided to reopen the question
OF when buses should be substituted

worth and Seat Pleasant terminals,
and Fifteenth street and New York

Last April the PUG postponed

ened gas shortage. 1t suspended its
previous order authorizing the sub
stitution until April l, 1949, when a
clearer picture possibly could be
obtained Of how much gas would be
available.
The matter will be taken up at
another public hearing scheduled
for 10 am. December 13 in the Dis
trict Building, the PUG stated.

said:
1.-THE commission is now of the
opinion that a further hearing
should be held for the purpose of
receiving evidence relative to the
present outlook as to the availability
Of gasoline for the additional bus
service contemplated by the pro-
posed substitution for streetcar
service"
A public hearing was held last
March before the commission post
poned the execution of its order to

Merger of the Washington and
Baltimore Symphony Orchestras
was being discussed here today,
close on the heels of the resignation
of DR.. Hans Kinder as conductor
of the National Symphony Orchestra.
The merger proposal was advanced
editorially this morning by the Bal
timore Sun as the municipality sup
ported Baltimore Symphony Orch
ira revealed a financial crisis verg-
ing on bankruptcy.
1t brought the revelation that such
a merger, considered informally at
various times ever since the National
Symphony was founded, already has
been discussed secretly by National
Symphony officers for the last year.
9 The proposal was received by
Washington civic leaders with reac-
tions ranging from enthusiastic sup
port to shock" Some agreed with
the editorial contention OF the Sun
that merger might offer a solution to
the financial problems depressing
both orchestras. Others. however,
expressed distress at the idea that
the Nations Capital was unable to
support its own, independent SYM
phony orchestra.
Background of Proposal.
This is the background OF the
Baltimore proposal, which as yet
has not been formally adopted by
leaders of either symphony organ
ization:
The Baltimore Symphony today
announced that its treasury, despite
the fact that it has been reinforced
by an annual municipal subsidy
amounting this season to s54 500,
now is empty. The Baltimore Or
ganization needs $4,000 to meet its
January payroll, and a total OF
1922 900 to continue its operation
next year.
These facts were presented In
full-page newspaper advertisements
which declared that the Baltimore
Symphony lis at the end of its
rope The appeal urged Baltimore
citizens to contribute the necessary
funds.
Citing this situation and pointing
to similar financial difficulties ex-
perienced by the National Symphony
here, the Sun urged consideration OF
a fusion" of the two orchestraS as
way of providing real security, in
the financial sense, instead of the
