Virginia Farmer Tells
OF S9,053Loss After
Drinks With 7 Men

Bathurst c. Huntington, 63-year-
old Fairfax County farmer, was
rolled" for $s,053 after he invited
two "neat-looking" men to have a
drink with him last night in the
Alexandria market behind police
headquarters, he told police.
MI. Huntington, who seemed q
bit confused about everything ex-
cept the amount of money missing,
lives on RID 1 at Springfield in
Fairfax County, where he grows
cut flowers for the Alexandria
market.
He told Inspector Russell A
Hawes he came to Alexandria yes
terday, sold some flowers and bought
a pint of whisky.
The market is in City Hall court
in the center of the area Of the old
city which a grand jury noted yes
terday was the locale Of practically
all the city's crimes and mis-
demeanors.
Mr.. Huntington said he took q
couple of drinks and then walked
out into the 100 block of North
Royal street where he met the two
meat" men, as he described them
and they struck up a conversation
He told them he knew where a
bottle was, he said, and they &C
cepted his invitation to have drink
ALI he remembered, Mr.. Hunting
ton told the inspector, was sitting
down with the men and talking. he
might have had another drink, he
said, but he wasn't sure.
He also remembered being awak-
ened in a market stall by police
man. 1t is not unusual for country
men who sell produce on the market
to sleep all night in the stalls. The
policeman told him, Mr.. Huntington
said, that he must have been having
a nightmare because he had been
shouting.
At Z o'clock he was awakened by
another farmer, a friend of his, he
said. It was then he discovered his
two wallets were missing, one con-
tanning 5000, mostly in 500 bills,
and the other containing $43. The
first was his life savings he said
which he had drawn from a bank
some years ago and always carried

D.C.,Private Agencies
Seek Way 10 Handle
Cases

Just what the District can do
about 6,4O1 suspected tuberculosis
sufferers, disclosed by chest X-ray
survey, will be discussed at a meet
ing of representatives of medical
groups and public and private well
fare agencies within the next 10
days.
At a. meeting Thursday of survey
workers, DR.. Howard Payne, a men,
ber of the Medical Technical Com
mittee OF the survey, revealed that
wholly inadequate hospital and lab
oratory facilities and a shortage of
medical personnel would stand as
obstacles to any follow-up program.
DR.. George c. Ruhland, District
health officer, said today he had
asked DR.. A. Barklie Coulter, direc-
tor of the District tuberculosis Bu-
reau, to call a conference Of inter-
ested agencies.
Success Is Questioned.
Observing that such a conference
could be called within a week." DR..
Coulter, however, expressed grave
doubts as to the success OF any
attempts to alleviate the situation
until we are able to pay the prevail
ing wages to technical personnel"
DR.. Coulter revealed that two
physicians on his staff are seeking
other positions because both the
Federal Government and private
hospitals pay considerably higher
salaries than the District is able to
pay.
ut is patiently foolish" DR.. Coulter
said, "to attempt to secure new beds
for tuberculosis persons when we
cannot possibly get the personnel
to care for additional hospitalized
patients"
Taking the viewpoint that some
action must be initiated, DR.. Ruh-
land called for "a demonstration
that early sufferers can be treated
and cured with the proper care"
100 Cases Hospitalized.
Since the beginning of the survey
in January, 100 advanced cases OF
tuberculosis have been hospitalized
and an additional 80 patients are
awaiting disqualification.
DR.. Ruhland said few additional
beds were available in the three
public hospitals here, Gallnger,
Freedmen's and Glen Dale San
atorium, but he was hopeful addl-
tional beds might be obtained IN
some or all of the private hospitals.
All private hospitals in the DlsUlct,
except Doctors, have contracts with
the Federal Government under
which they accept public patients.
Emphasizing his point that early
treatment, either by disqualification
for from four to six months or
proper treatment at home, must be
provided in any program, DR.. Run
land said there were additional on-
stacles to such plans beyond those
of personnel and facilities.
MANY persons suffering from
tuberculosis" he said, "are unable
to accept proper treatment even II
it could be provided to them. They
are the bread-winners who cannot
leave or give up their jobs unless
provision is made for their families" !"
thus, he added, welfare agencies VIII
be asked to attend the forthcom-
ing conference.

said yesterday In reply to a protest
against the arrest Of an Associated

to Col. C. w. Woodson, jr., superin-
tendent of State police, protesting
the arrest near Manassas July 2
of Joseph D. Jameson of Washing

Patrolman P. P. Herndon showed
that the trooper "has taken advan-
tage of his authority as an officer
to set himself up as a censor of the
type of pictures to be taken by a
professional newspaperman."
The telegram also requested the
police superintendent to make a full
investigation land take such steps
as may be necessary to prevent a
recurrence of this incident"
Col. Woodson also sent Mr.. Ham
mersley a letter in which he said,
Il want to assure you and other

have talked that there will be q
very Thorough investigation of the
arrest of Mr.. Jameson, and appro-
pirate action will be taken"
Both the Governor and Col
Woodson assured Mr.. Hammersley
that it was the intention of the
State police to cooperate with the
press. Col. Woodson noted that in
the State police manual the subject
of press relations was covered. He
added that if the investigation
showed a need for supplementing
the general order in the manual
such a supplement would be issued.
Mr.. Jamieson's case in Trial JUS
tice Court at Manassas has been
continued until July 80 and may be
continued to later date.
