Corning Will Ask Gu
In Armory Rentals
For High Schools

School Supt. Hobart M. Corning
said yesterday he intended to ask
the National Guard Armory Off
cials to lower rental rates charged
for use of the Armory by high
schools and reconsider last year
bill.
The athletic program of the high
schools is barely self-sustaining, he
said, and it would be almost i'm
possible to pay what the Armory
wants.
Still unpaid Is an $3.50 bill
charged to the high schools for last
season. Hardy Pearce, athletic di-
rector of the school system, and
Birch Bayh, director of health and
physical education, agree that pay
ment of any more than expenses of
using the armory is "out of the
question"
The burden Of meeting the
Armory bill would hamper the high
school athletic program this year,
the school officials declared.
Mr.. Pearce said he would ask DR..
Corning to write a letter to Arthur
j. Dutch" Bergman, Arrnory man
ager. to reconsider the bill. This
DR.. Corning said he intends to do.
Mr.. Bergman already has asked
the Armory Control Board to con-
slider lower rates for the schools.
The rate at present is $500 a night
or Is per cent of the gate.
If the rents are not reduced,
school officials indicated they would
return high school BASKETBALL games
to the Mckinley Hi gymnasium,
which seats only 300. The school
officials contended that since the
Armory is District property, the Dis
tricts schools should not be charged.

City Lists Sensitive Agencies;
Loyalty Probe Advice Souq hit

The Commissioners request tc
Mr.. Maher, the official said, stems
from their desire to deal with the
loyalty situation which has beer
pending since the Loyalty Board
was appointed last spring.
One of the first moves of the
board last May was to advise the
Commissioners that no general 10y
atty check is called for at this time
The board recommended instead
that the Commissioners call in all
their department heads to decide
from that survey if any positions
or installations could be deemed
sensitive to national security.
These conferences have been COM
pleted. the official said last night,
and all that remains is for the board
to submit to the Commissioners a
recommendation on how to pursue
the checkup in the sensitive"
agencies.

Zoo Asks $557,985 Budget;
Increase Needed for Wuqes

A fiscal 1850 budget estimate of
s557 ,985, providing for no new con-
struction and replacement only of
animals lost through death, has
been submitted to the Commission
ers for approval by DR.. William M.
Mann, director of the National
Geological Park
Most of the SOL, ,767 increase over
the present appropriation is the
result of mandatory wage increases
for Zoo employees. Salaries alone
will be $415,210, compared with the
S353443 earmarked for wages in
the fiscal year.
DR.. Mann asked $14,750 for &C
QUESTION of animals, birds and
reptiles, an amount he said would
take care of replacing losses in the
Zoo population, but probably will
not permit an increase in the 2,050
specimens there.

to pay the salaries of the 10 Zoo
policemen and 48 keepers. DR..
Mann did not ask the Commission
ers for additional personnel for the
next fiscal year.

some animals by providing better
storage for their food.

Commissioners, "the newest build
ings in the Zoo will become 13
years old, some of the animal houses
about so years old and the Office

Technical Aid Needed.
"The current years work of bring

Comprehensive Plan formulated

has emphasized the pressing need
for additional technical assistance
ii the commission is to keep pace
with the planning needs of the
Washington area and render the
type of service which both the pub
lie and official agencies expect that
the planning commission should
provide.
He said the planning staff is quite
small compared with those OF Amer
ican cities of comparable size. He
pointed out that the National Capt.
tai region now comprises an inter
state metropolitan community OF
100000 persons-a growth OF AZ
per cent since 1910.
Because of the rapid growth of the
suburban area and the tendency to
locate governmental activities out
side the District. the need for COM
prehensive planning on a regional
basis is becoming increasingly evi.
dent and urgent, Gen. Grant said.
Planning Need Stressed.
An estimate by one of the utili-
ties serving the Washington area
indicates that more than 10000
dwelling units are now under con-
struction or definitely planned, &C
cording to Gen. Grant.
IF public funds are to be ex-
pended wisely" he added, decisions
and policies with regard to these
facilities should be made in accord
ance with sound planning princi-
pies and fitted into a general plan
for the whole metropolitan area"
To accompany the 15oth anniver-

Glen Burnie Murders
Without Sex Motive,
Baltimore Paper Says

Miss Mary c. Kline, 1S-year-old
Glen Burnie stenographer whose
bullet-pierced body was found last
Monday in a woodland near An
napolis, was not raped, according
TO the Baltimore Sunday Sun in a
story published today.
The Baltimore newspaper said ii
had learned from a reliable source
that the pathological report which
the Anne Arundel County police
chief said he expected to receive to-
morrow would reveal that the girl
was not molested sexually before she
and her escort, John Mahlan, 25
were shot to death.
The couple was reported missing
a week ago yesterday, when they
failed to return Friday night from
short automobile ride" in the car
of Mr.. Mahlan, also of Glen Burnie.
The car was found September 18
in a field near Glen Burnie, with
bullet holes in both front windows.
The front seat was blood stained,
and a .38 caliber bullet was found
in the car. The two bodies were
found Monday.
Chief Examiner Silent.
Police have unoficially held to the
theory that the girl was the VIC
tim of a sex attack. They have been
reported to believe Mr.. Mahlan was
shot as he sat in the car, the girl
some time later.
DR.. Howard j. Maldeis, chief med
ical examiner at Baltimore, declined
to confirm or deny the report pub
lished in Baltimore. He said the
complete" report-including the re-
port on whether the girl was at
tacked-had been in the hands of
States Attorney James c. Morton,
jr., "for several days"
Anne Arundel County Police
Chief John H. Souers earlier had
declared, however, that the final de-
tails of the report would not be
ready before Monday.
Neither Chief Souers nor Mr..
Morton could be reached for COM
ment at a late hour last night. Both
were reported to be "out working
on the case"
Fingerprint Report Forwarded.
Meanwhile, it was learned that a
preliminary report on the finger
prints found on Mr.. Mahlan's car
had been forwarded to chief Souers
by the Federal Bureau of Investi-
CATION here.
An FBI spokesman said the incom-
plete report had been delivered late
Friday to two Anne Arundel County
policemen.
Chief Souers said he expected
the final report tomorrow.
Police have hoped the fingerprint
report will furnish some lead in the
so far almost clueless double slay-
ing.
Chief Souers said last night he
was holding four men for question
ing. More than 20 suspects have
been questioned and released since
the bodies were found.
Two Of the latest suspects were
picked up Friday. The third was
early yesterday. Chief
Souers said. The police official said,
however, no promising new leads
had been developed.
The girls father. John E. Kline,
and the Rev. Edward T. Kirkley,
pastor Of the Glen Burnie Metho-
dist Church. yesterday took mine
detector and unsuccessfully search
ed for a murder weapon.
Police have not revealed the con-
tents of the girls diary, which was
given them by Mr.. Kline. 1t was
learned, however, that they hoped
to find some passage which would
give them a clue to where the car
might have been parked when the
killer came upon the couple.
