Armory.
Continued From First Page }

Commissioners was supported by
them and Chester H. Gray, Assist
ant Corporation Counsel. This bill,
the committee was told, would give
the Commissioners control of the
Armory including all its grounds. .
"StaIemate" Predicted.
The part of the building, however.
needed for the National Guard
would be exclusively under juris-
diction of the Guard commanding
general, Mr.. Gray explained.
Chairman O'Hara commented
that If a conflict between the Com
missioners and the Guard arose
over the use of the building. there
would be a "stalemate." Mr.. Gray
insisted the building had been paid
for by District taxes and the system
proposed by the Commissioners
would work.
Gen. Cox strongly opposed the
commissioners bill He insisted the
Armory had been built for the Ma
tional Guard and that the Com
missioners' bill would give the city
heads too much control over the
militia of the District and its new
home.
The general supported the bill
sponsored by him which would set
up a commission composed Of the
commanding general Of the Guard,
the president of the District Board
Of Commissioners and the, heads OF
the Washington Board of Trade and
Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation. This group would manage
the Armory.
Cox Objects to Bill. -
Gen. Cox also objected to a bill
sponsored by Mr.. McGarraghy which
would set up a Armory Board COM
posed of the president OF the District
Board of Commissioners, COM
manding general of the Guard and
three District residents appointed
by the board.
Harry S. Wender, chairman of the
District Recreation Board, suggested
to the committee that this board
could well be designated the agent
to operate non military functions in
the Armory, preferably under some
such bill as that sponsored by the
Commissioners.
Mr.. Wender said that rental
monies could be adequately handled
under the trust fund system already
set up for handling recreation af-
fairs throughout the District.
George Preston Marshall, presi-
dent of the Washington Redskins
football team, warned the commit
tee that the Armory project might
become one of the worst headaches
in the city unless its management IS
well set up and well handled.
He recommended q board consist
ing Of the president of the District
Board Of Commissioners, the COM
manding general Of the National
Guard, and q third man to be agreed
on by the first two, or in case of =
disagreement, appointed by the
Chief Of STAFF of the Army. This
board could hire q manager. he
proposed.

D. {. Heads Sidestep
ave Armory Request

The District Commissioners have
sidestepped request by the Ameri-
can Veterans. Committee for use OF
the National Guard Armory and
suggested that the veterans organi-
sation find a more appropriate
place to hold scheduled three
DAY meeting on the Taft -Ellender-
Wagner housing bill.
This was announced yesterday
after the Commissioners called a
special meeting to study the request
with Brig. Gen. Albert L. Cox, the
Guard commander; Gen. Cox's ad-
jutant, 1t. Col. Peyton G. hewitt;
Senate District Committee Counsel
James Kirkland and Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Chester Gray.
Charles Stofberg, special assistant
to the Commissioners, said the city
heads wished to emphasize that the
AVG was not turned down on the
application. Their request was for
warded to the Commissioners by
Representative Kennedy, Democrat,
of Massachusetts,, through Miss
Mabel Haller, clerk to the House
District Committee.
Miss Haller received the sugges-
ton from the Commissioners, Mr..
Stofberg told. reporters, that the
Armory is not suited for such
meetings because of its lack of
seats and bad acoustics. The AVG,
he said, wished to stage meeting in
the huge Armory drill hall February
20 through March l to urge enact
ment of the low-cost public housing
measure. N
Since only 500 are expected to at
tend the AVG meetings, Mr.. Stofberg
said. the Departmental Auditorium
probably would he more suitable.

CTIICAGO,Jan. 20--An FBI Of
flcial said today that the James r.
Smith, ~, seized yesterday In q
Chicago hotel In connection with
the .$I11,O00 daylight robbery OF a
New Orleans bank January 8 lis no
doubt Identical" with d man sought
in the staying Of q Philadelphia
policeman.
George McSwain, Chicago FBI
chief whose agents captured Smith
as he slept and found $l7,776 in q
yalise under his bed, said Smith
denied any connection with the
Philadelphia killing.
Capt. Joseph Kearns, inspector OF
detectives in Philadelphia, said he
was satisfied that Smith is the
man for whom he holds q murder
warrant In the fatal shooting Of
Patrolman Cecil Ingling during a
supermarket robbery January 80,
1947.
Acquainted With Convicted Man.
Smith said he was acquainted
with Edward Hough, who was SEN
fenced to death of the Philadelphia
shooting" Mr.. McSwain said. He
told us he had talked to Hough and
others involved in the affair on the
morning prior to the robbery, but
he said he did not participate.
Smith said he learned of the
Ingling shooting by reading a news
paper account, and left Philadel-
phia shortly afterward because he
feared that because of association
with Hough his parole was endan-
gered."
The Chicago FBI chief said
Smith admitted that he was one OF
five men who held up the Hibernia
National Banks Mid City branch, in
New Orleans and that he received
$4,000 as his share.
Taximan Gave Tip.
Mr.. McSWain said that Smiths
seizure followed information given
police by a Memphis @taxicab driver
who had driven Smith to Chicago
last. Friday. The taxicab driver, Mr.
McSwair said. became suspicious
after the passenger he had driven
here, from Memphis gave him $500
Smith, nattily dressed, told FBI
agents he had spent more than
$4,000 in high living, including a
week end at Chicago's night spots,
since the robbery. Mr.. McSwain
said he identified his companions In
the bank robbery as Tom and
George Rickets, Harry Todd. and a
man known only as Johnny" The
first three were captured shortly
after the robbery.
In Philadelphia Mrs. Ingling,
widow of the slain policeman, was
called in to look at the photograph
Of Smith. She identified him as
the robher who fired the three
shots that killed her husband, say
ing: His Is the face I'll never
forget"
She and her two children watched
in horror as Mr.. Ingling was shot
down before the supermarket as
he attempted to break up the hold
up. Mr.. Ingling was not on duty
at the time.

RESUME DRILLING
AFTER SHOOTING
CARR FARM WELL
Well Shot at Depth of 1924
Feet; Seek More Oil at
Deeper Level
Favorable Showing Brings Pros
pect of Reviving Oil Activity
Here

Further drilling in an effort to
reach more oil at deeper level was
started this week in test well on
the w. G. Carr farm, three miles
north of Bl1fton, after shooting of
the wen at 1924 feet last Friday
morning produced oil and gas.
Interest in the possible revival of
abandoned oil fields in this district
was growing following the showing
made by the Carr we'll, with high
hopes that oil deposits long consid-
cred exhausted still may be suitable
for pumping.
When shot at $50 a. m. last Fri
day, the Carr we'll produced con-
siderable gas and some oil. The gas
was in sufficient quantity to supply
the needs of several homes, it was
reported.
Prospects are reported favorable
for oil in considerable quantity at
deeper levels, leading to the decision
to resume drilling this week, observ-
ers reported.
Watch Outcome of Test Well
With additional oil we'll drilling
in the area largely dependent on
the outcome of the Carr well, many
oil interests repeatedly are closely
watching developments.
Leasing activities are being pushed
by several groups, altho drilling
rights to some 1,500 acres of land
surrounding the Carr location are
held by Findlay and Toledo interests
financing the test well.
Two good wells were near the
Carr farm during the oil boom here
shortly before the turn of the
century. One was drilled in 1889 on
the adjacent farm of Chris Zimmerly,
now owned by Homer, Leonard and
Arden Zimmerly. The other was a
gas-producing well, put down in
1895 on the William Habegger farm.
Last fall 1,325-foot well was put
down on the John Boehr farm, about
one-half mile south of the Carr loca-
ton. Gas and a. trace of oil were
found but the we'll never was shot.
