FREDERICKSBURG, Va, April
10.-A man whose 135-year term in
the State penitentiary was the long
est being served there when he was
paroled three years ago, is going
back to prison and a 134-year term
today.
He is Dee A. Powell, 40, of Aldie,
Loudoun County, who was paroled
from the State penitentiary after
serving seven years of his original
135-year sentence.
Powell pleaded guilty before cir
cult Judge Leon M. Bazile, to a
charge of burglarizing the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. C. R. Rosebro here on
March %. Judge Bazile sentenced
him to five years in the peniten-
tiary, plus another year for violation
of his conditional pardon.
The 1913 years of ,Powell's uncom-
pleted term, plus the six years added
by Judge Bazile, totals 1874. In June,
1887, he had been given five years
on each of q counts for burglary
in Arlington County, the records
show.

PuroIed F rom 135-Yeur Term,
Mun Faces Another 1874 Years

Arlington Police Chief Harry
woodward recalled that Powell was
charged with 81 cases of house.
breaking which occurred within a
months time in 1887. He was con-
victed in 27 cases and sentenced
by Circuit Judge Walter T. NC
Carthy.
Chief woodward said Powell would
watch house and enter it imme-
diately after the occupants went
out at night. He then would turn on
the lights so neighbors would think
the occupants were still at home,
and proceed to gather up valuables.
Powell was caught by police one
night as he climbed out of the
window of a residence he had just
burglarlized, Chief woodward re-
called. He did not confess other
housebreakings, the police chief said
until confronted with the fact that
the shoes he was wearing had been
stolen from the home of Albert
Sorenson.
The shoes were identified by Mr..
Sorenson by the serial number, ac-
cording to Mr.. woodward.

| Board Studies Plans
To Increase School
Space in Arlington

Chairman Barnard Joy of the Ar
lington School Board last night dis
closed that the board is studying
several plans for increasing second
ary school space.
Mr.. Joy said that to accommodate
additional senior high school stu
dents at Washington-Lee next fall,
other space must be found for all
or part of the almost 450 junior high
school students that live in the area
normally served by the school,
which has both junior and senior
high classes.
Pointing out that Westinghouse
Claude A. Swanson and Thomas JEFF
ferson Junior High Schools are
overcrowded and that Dolly Madi-
son Junior High is near capacity
Mr.. Joy said enrolment in junior
highs probably will increase by at
least 100 to a total of 2,440 and en-
rollment in the senior high by about
$50 to a total of 1895.
He said possible solutions to the
space problem include the follow
ing: Location of a building that
could be remodeled for school use;
shifting building now used for ele-
mentary grades to use as a junior
high school, and transportation OF
Junior high students who live in the
Washington-Lee area to Dolly Madi-
son.
Mr.. Joy said use of a 21-room
building, near property on Old Do
minion drive, owned by the schoo
board, had been considered but was
rejected after an unfavorable re-
port by the State Department oi
Education.
He added that possible conversion
of the Ballston tThomas Nelson
Page School from elementary tc
Junior high school use is being
studied and that construction of ad.
ditional rooms at Dolly Madison that
would be ready by September also
is being explored.
He said a final decision regarding
a solution to the space problem
would not be made until data from
the recent county census is studied
The information should be ready
by April Is, he said.

Arlington Board Asks
|PUC 10 Present Views
ION Gas Rate Probe

The Arlington County Board yes
terday voted to ask the County Pub
lie Utilities Commission for a "de-
tailed written" report Of the PUC's
attitude toward a possible investi-
cation into the rates charged by
the Rosslyn Gas Co.
The board acted on a request by
the Arlington Democratic Club.
The club said the PUG has under
consideration the question of
whether or not a public investiga-
ton should be conducted to de-
termine If the rates charged "are
excessive"
Last year the PUG recommended
to the County Board that an ex-
pert be employed to make a prelim-
mary investigation, but the matter
was never acted on by the board.
The board, however, requested the
Alexandria City Council to join with
it in an appeal to the State Cor
poration Commission for a rate
hearing but the council declined.
Although the board took no further
action, the PUG has been keeping
"a check on gas company earnings,
it was learned.
Amendment Offered.
Commonwealth's Attorney Den
nan T. Rucker presented to the
board a proposed amendment to
the county zoning ordinance which
would correct an omission uncovered
in a court case last week. The
proposed new section would regu-
late set-backs for new commercial
buildings In cases where there were
no buildings on either side Of a
street.
There is no question in my mind,
or in the courts mind" Mr.. Rucker
declared, that there is something
lacking in the ordinance"
The board voted to advertise the
proposed amendment.
County Manager A. T. Lundberg
told the board work will begin to-
morrow an the concrete surfacing
Of Wilson boulevard between Jeffer-
son and Kensington streets.
Resolution Approved.
A resolution was passed calling
on the State to acquire sufficient
land at Glebe road and Wilson
boulevard to permit widening of
the intersection so that a traffic
light could be placed. The inter
section was described by board
members as one of the worst in the
county.
Christopher c. Garnett notified

Hiyo Silver! Race TO Old
n: Mine Ready to Sturt Anew

DODGEVILLE, MICH.-The story
Of seven barrels Of silver abandoned
in an old mine near here is being
told and re-told again and is ex.
pected to cause silver rush any
day now. ,st +. -.
Seems that a group Of miners in
the middle Of the :. last century
wanted more pay. The mine man.
agement refused to grant them an
increase. Having just neatly capped
seven barrels Of silver, the miners
climbed out OF their hole to continue
the argument. ~t,' H..
Negotiations continued for months
while the seven barrels of silver lay
in the mine shaft. Finally, when
an agreement was reached the min.
ers discovered that the shafting had
weakened and they refused to enter
the mine again. The silver treasure
never was extricated
Conservatively, the treasure is
estimated to be worth about $14, 500.
Carlos Weinberg, graduate Of Michi-
gan College of Mining and Tech
nology, contends that the story is
true.

Woman Wins Prizes
As Spare Time Hobby

SPRINGFIELD, ILL. - Som
women knit and many collect china.
Still others prefer to dig in the gar
den or play bridge. But Mrs. Homer
McLaren Of Springfield scorns these
long-popular feminine pursuits. She
likes ''contesting." T.
In four months Mrs. McLaren. has
reaped q washing machine, radio,
radio-phonograph and three SIC
prizes for her entries. But then,
she's been "contesting" for 10 or
IL years. Mrs. McLaren, author OF
numerous magazine articles also
teaches a course in ''tricks Of the
contesting trades,'' at the Spring
field community school for adults.
She prescribes her hobby especi-
ally for shut-ins, hospitalized vet
Grams, and those who want to forget
their troubles ''-
She said: ''It. can also keep a
good many housewives from turning
into neurotics and it's fine time
killer for commuters. !
Mrs. McLaren began entering
contests just as hobby. but she
told of one woman who helped sup
port her mother and brother on her
prizes. The winnings come in
pretty handy, too. around Christmas
The whole things SO easy, the
Springfield woman doesn't under
stand why almost every housewife
doesn't take up the hobby. ~
She continued: "Al you have to
do is carry around pad and pen
Gil while you do your work. If an
idea strikes you, jot it down" Mrs.
McLaren adds that the idea seems
to have caught on among a widen
ing number Of the public. Publica-
tions are sold listing current con-
tests and supplying information on
how to become a winner and
contest clubs have even been
formed through the country.
