Landlords Attorney
SaysDeniaI Of Warrant
Led 10 Tenant SHOOTING

The attorney for Albert Sheldon,
46, landlord held for the shooting
of a tenant, today blamed the at
tack on the refusal of the United
States Attorneys Office to issue a
warrant against the tenant.
The tenant, Arthur Bradshaw,
30, was reported in satisfactory"
condition at Mount Alto Hospital,
where he was admitted yesterday
for bullet wound in the hip.
A short time after the shooting at
a rooming house in the 900 block of
I street NV, Sheldon, accompanied
by his lawyer, James Shenos, gave
himself up at police headquarters
and was charged with assault with
a dangerous weapon. Police said
the argument centered on an evic-
ton subpoena.
In Municipal Court Judge Walter
J. Casey continued the case until
June 10 to determine the outcome
of Bradshaw's injuries. Bond was
continued at $1,000.
Mr.. Shenos said Sheldon went to
the United States attorneys Office
last week and asked for a warrant
on the ground Bradshaw had
threatened to kill him. The prose-
cutor'ss Office, Mr.. Shenos said, ad-
vised him to go to Landlord and
Tenant Court and file an eviction
suit.
Lawyer Criticizes Action.
eff the United States attorneys
office had issued warrant and
brought Sheldon and Bradshaw in
to find out what this was all about, :"
Mr.. Shenos contended, this might
have been avoided"
A spokesman for the United
States attorneys office said he did
not recall the case, but that land
lord-tenant disputes frequently were
referred to the Landlord and Ten
ant Court for permanent settlement
Detective Sergt. George Cook OF
the Homicide Squad said Bradshaw
told him he owed Sheldon some
money for back rent, because he
lost his job but that he and Sheldon
had reached an agreement several
days ago on how Bradshaw was to
pay the money.
When he came home yesterday
and found a subpoena stating he
owed Sheldon $21.50 in back rent,
he said, he went to Sheldon's room
and Sheldon shot him without
provocation."
Sheldon's Version Differs.
Sergt. Cook said Sheldon's ver-
sion differed Sheldon, he said,
told him that Bradshaw came to
the open door of Sheldon's room
and Sheldon told him to stop.
Bradshaw, according to Sheldon's
story, rushed into the room. showed
a table aside and advanced in a
menacing manner" Sheldon sadi
he reached into a bureau drawer,
pulled out a 38 caliber pistol and
fred, according to Sergt. Cook.
Mr.. Shenos said Sheldon came to
his office with the pistol and told of
the shooting. The lawyer then noti-
fed police headquarters, he said.
Bradshaw has been living with his
wife in a second-f1oor rear apart
ment of the rooming house. He is
a World War II veteran.

BY the Associofed Press

LONDON, May 20.-The Royal
Commission on Awards will meet
next week for the task of persuading
a reluctant inventor to accept about
$4,000 (S200,000).
The man who hesitates to take
the cash, tax free, is Air Commodore
Frank Whittle, holder of a number
of basic patents for jet propulsion
and gas turbine engines.
Commodore Whittle has been
seeking recognition, not cash. He
feels it would be improper for him
to claim a monetary reward because
he developed his inventions while
serving as an officer of the Crown.
But, of course, if the Crown takes
the initiative, there may be another
aspect to the case," he conceded.
He started his researches in jet
propulsion in 1892 At that time he
could net no financial support from
the Treasury.

DecentroIized Civil Service

Herbert Hoover's proposal to transfer
hiring functions of the Civil Service Com
mission to the various departments ana
agencies is not so drastic as it may seem TO
some persons at first glance. Actually, the
plan is in line with decentralization policy
begun by the commission during World
War II and continued in ampli1ed form
ever since.
During the war it was found that the
GENERALIZATION of all personnel recruitment
and hiring activities in Washington tended
to create manpower bottleneck that was
impeding the war effort The commission
met this emergency by delegating hiring
authority to field offices of the various
agencies and then cooperating with these
offices through the commissions regional
representatives. The plan proved highly
satisfactory.
After the war 1t was decided to continue
the decentralization of authority and to
expand the program. AS explained more
than two years ago by Arthur S. Flemmlng,
then q member of the Civil Service Com
mission and now member OF the Hoover
Commission, the policy was to invite the
executive departments and agencies to set
up their own civil service examining
boards, composed Of personnel adninistra-
tors approved by the commission. The
boards would function both here and In
the field. They would recruit applicants,
hold examinations and make appointments
all subject to standards fixed by the COM
mission and subject to commission ap-
proval. The commission retained full re-
sponsibility for maintaining standards and
seeing that these standards and general
policies were adhered to by the depart
mental boards An inspection system to
check on the decentralized system was ar
ranged.
This is the plan which Mr.. Hoover appar-
emily had In mind In discussing with re-
porters the reorganization commissions
tentative civil service improvement pro-
gram The system has the advantage of
freeing the Civil Service Commission from
much red tape that can be handled as well
or better by the departments, while giving
the commission more time to formulate
and promulgate overall policies and pro-
cedures. Having been tested and proved
under adverse conditions, there is no ap-
parent reason why the plan should not be
effective as permanent proposition-pro-
vided, Of course, that the commission keep
close watch to guard against abuses Of the
civil service laws by those to whom author
ity has been delegated.

Virqiniu School Truce

The indications are that sensible solu
ton has been found to the problem of
equalizing white and colored school facili-
ties in King George County, Virginia.
One welcome result is the restoration of
five subjects to the white school curriculum
which had been dropped to "equalize" the
course of studies by making that for the
white schools as inferior as that for the
colored This move was absurd on it's face.
Its effect was not to improve the colored
schools which is the objective that must
be sought, and its abandonment should
meet with the appreciation of all concerned.
Other aspects of the agreement look
toward equalization of pay for white and
colored teachers, immediate improvement
wherever possible of the colored school
curriculum and resembling of an order
subordinating colored teachers in certain
respects. For their part, attorneys repre-
senting colored compliments have agreed
to await construction of a new colored
school before renewing equalization activ-
ity, and have said they will not oppose
motion for continuance until September l.,
1s49, of action on Federal court contempt

Bombino on the Buy

The proposal of the Navy to establish
bombing practice area on Chesapeake Bay
east of the Patuxent Naval Air Station con-
fronts shipping, boating and other inter-
ests with real problem in navigation and
raises the question of just how far the
services intend to go in taking over this
important waterway.
With the Atlantic Ocean only few min
utes' flying time from the Southern Mary
land base, it seems unreasonable that
large area that touches on the shipping
lane should be set aside for dropping
bombs. If the Navy's proposal goes through,
it means that small craft whether pleasure
yachts or the numerous commercial boats
that ply the bay the year round, will have
to cruise half way to the Eastern Shore to
get around the banned area
This would preclude the use of the West
ern Shore in times Of bad weather. When
strong winds blow out Of the west, such
craft hug the shore to keep out of rough
seas. The Navy makes one concession, how
ever. Oystermen would be permitted to
dredge from noon to nightfall during the
month of January.
The latest charts issued by the Coast and
Geodetic Survey show numerous prohibited,
restricted and danger areas throughout
the bay area. With the end of World War
II boatmen looked forward to the elimina-
ton of some of these areas. Instead, the
areas continue to expand, thus adding
restrictions to one of the finest cruising
grounds in the East.
