Wedding Here eliminates
GI's Romance With Italian

The romance of Gioia Culley, Ital-
ian actress, and Sergt. Robert Reyn-
olds of Fort Belvoir eliminated
yesterday in marriage in the cham
bers of Judge Frank H. Myers in
Municipal Court.
The young couple met soon after
Sergt. Reynolds went into Rome
with the victorious American Army
Sergt Reynolds returned to the
United States last spring after MAX
ing plans TO have his 19-year -old
lancee join him here in November
Complications arose when the
actress applied for a passport. Be-
cause her father is an American
and her mother a Russian, the Ital-
ian government turned down her
application. Then Sergt. Reynolds
went into action. He besieged the
State Department and the immigra-
ton Office with appeals for action
and exhausted his savings telephon-
ing Rome. Just before the deadline
for admittancer of GI wives the
bride-to-be arrived.
The brides father, whom she has
not seen since she was years old
telegraphed his congratulations
from Detroit yesterday. Mrs. Reyn-
olds said she hoped to visit him
soon. The young couple will spend

In the past, policies. have been
dropped for such persons who lose

CHI officials were not able to esti-
mate the number Of persons the new
policy will affect Immediately. While
the new policy begins today, it will
not be retroactive to include per-

because of age, however.
Joseph H. Hines, CHI president,
revealed that this plan was under
consideration at a hearing called

tions from payroll deductions.
About half the 5000 Washinston
residents covered by the plan now
are Government workers and their
families.
Announcing the new policy, Mr..
Hines added:
1--WE have always realized that the
need for hospital care usually in
creases in later life and we have
wanted to protect subscribers against
the financial burdens arising from
illness and disability without regard
for their age,
But we also realized that before
we could protect subscribers during
their advanced years, it was essen
tial that CHI be able to assume the
substantial additional responsible
tiles which will inevitably follow
this action without jeopardizing in
any way the protection of other sub
scribers. We are convinced this now
can .be done"

Missing Records
Blamed
|nAssau|t.Case
Prosecutor Explains
Probation; Gorris Now
Held Under Bond

Members of the United States
attorneys staff explained today
that a man charged with as
saulting a former Wave lieuten-
ant was free on probation at
the time because his criminal
record had been Inadvertently
misplaced"
Warren Wilson, chief prosecutor at
Municipal Court. said the error was
noted shortly after David Garris, 81
colored, was released on a wears
probation last Tuesday.
Yesterday Garris was Jailed under
$4,000 bond, charged with assault
with a dangerous weapon on Miss
Mary Elizabeth Woods, 27, of 3519-E
Prospect avenue NV.
The dangerous weapon, police said
was butcher knife which Miss
Woods wrested from her assailant
after a fierce struggle, cutting her
hand in the process.
Held for Grand Jury.
Garris also was held for the grand
jury on charges of housebreaking
and of assault with intent to commit
sex offense. In addition, Municipal
Judge George D. Nelson, who had
ordered Garris' probation on the
recommendation of the United States
Attorneys Office, revoked it and
imposed a 5000 fine or 18O-day jail
sentence.
1t was the first time Garris had
been charged with a sex crime, but
Detective John E. Burke of No.
precinct said woman had accused
him of threatening her with a gun
on Christmas night. She did not
choose. to press the charges, Detec-
tive Burke said
Garris was charged with stealing
the pistol from another apartment
in the same building, occupied by
Kenneth L. Dixon, 1910 Twenty
ninth street NV, and it was on
this count of petty larceny that he
appeared and was given probation.
Mother Asked Another Chance.
Mr.. Wilson and Andrew Howard,
another assistant United States at
torney, who handled the case, told
this story of what happened:
Before the court hearing on De-
cember 26, Mr. Howard had a call
from Garris' mother. who pleaded
with him to give her son another
chance and offered to send him to
a relatives farm in Virginia. Mr..
Dixon, owner of the stolen gun and
a former employer of Garris, told
the prosecutor Garris was good
boy except for periods when he
seemed to 60 berserk. He suggested
a mental examination for the man.
Garris was sent to Gallinger Hos
pital and physicians found him of
sound mind. Last Tuesday he ap-
peared before Judge Nelson again,
and Mr.. Howard. lacking the de-
fendant's criminal record, recon-
mended probation.
Garris had scarcely left the court
room when his record came to light.
The prosecutor took steps to rescind
the action, but learned it was be-
yond recall.
Although Garris has record dat
ing back 10 years. the greatest part
Iof it was amassed as a Juvenile and
therefore is unavailable anywhere
but at Juvenile Court.
But on June 10, l947, he was con-
victed of entering the home of, Mis-.
Phil A. Gates, 3410 P street NV
Police said he was frightened away
by maid but was charged with un-
lawful entry, fined 5000 and served
six months in default of payment
On the charge of attempting to
commit a sex act, Garris could be
imprisoned for a maximum of
years, If found guilty.

charging cruelty was filed by Attor
ney James J. Laughlin in Distric
Court today for Mrs. Anna T. Kel
cher but Attorney Alvin L. New
myer, who represents John B

move for the suits dismissal be-
cause the court only yesterday dis
posed of the matter"
Mr.. Newmyer referred to Judge
Edward A. Tamm's decision, eli
making nine days of testimony
which dismissed limited divorce
suits brought by both parties but
directed the 67-year-old eX-gamble1
to pay his 51-year-old wife 500 a

Mr.. NeWmyer also announced he
would file suit Monday for Mr.. Kel-
cher asking for an absolute divorce
on grounds of desertion.
Today's suit again named Mrs.
Dorothy Blake, 44-year-old divorce

defendant. The suit also was based
on a charge of cruelty and asserted
that Mr.. 'Keleher Openly and no
toriously consorted with the de-
fendant Blake" 1t said Mr.. Keleher
had refused to properly" support
his wife.
The judge, in setting the main
tenance at $100 week, placed it
considerably below the $2,500 to
$4,000 a month suggested by Mr..
I,aughlin.
The court also dismissed, without
prejudice. a cross suit for limited
divorce filed by Mr.. Keleher, who
was described by Mr.. Laughlin in
his closing arguments as "a man,
who. during all his adulte life, has
been a figure and power in the

Judge Tamm, in his lengthy de-
cision, dismissed the suit on the
grounds that Mrs. Keleher had not
proved cruelty on the part of her

A prize zoning favor bestowed on
Lacy Shaw, Montgomery County
Democratic leader. by a split vote of
the County Commissioners on Tues
day. was pulled back yesterday in
Ia: closed session of the outgoing

/ The action represented an abrupt
about face on the part of Charles

TCIc , "Hdt 11dppChCus
Chronologically this is what hap
pened:
The Maryland-National Capital
Park and Planning Commission, of
which E. Brooke Lee, head of the
county Democratic organization, is
member, recommended that the
land in question be rezoned from
residential A to Commercial D. The
recommendation was in a formal
opinion" of the planning group. and
| the staff of the commission, which
usually originates recommendations
to the commission, concurred in this
one.
On December 81. the County Com
missioners rejected the rezoning re-
quest after protests were filed by
scores of area residents. 1t was re-
ported unof1cially that a. service
station was to be built on the
property.
On Tuesday, Mr. Jamison, a men,
Der of the Lee-Shaw organization,
told the commissioners that because
he had been absent from the De-
cember 81 meeting, he wanted to
record his vote in favor of the
Shaw property rezoning. Mr.. Jami-
son limited his request for re-
corded vote to the Shaw case al
though "a other petitions involving
other properties were acted on at
the December 81 meeting.
He then moved to rescind the
action and his motion was seconded
by Mr.. Esworthy, who had abstained
from voting at the earlier meeting.
Action Held Illegal.
Commissioner Wesley l. Sauter
voted with Mr.. Jamison and Mr..
EsWorthy and the denal was re-
scinded, 80, with Brooke Johns,
president of the commissioners, and
Commissioner Oliver w. Youngblood
voting in the negative.
Mr. Jamison then moved that the
Shaw application be approved. The
motion passed, 80, with the same
line up of votes.
The actions were criticized by
President Johns and Mr.. Young
blood and the latter said he would
ask Board Counsel F. Barnard Welsh
for an opinion on their legality.
Mr. Welsh ruled Thursday that
the actions were, in his opinion,
illegal, and yesterdays special ses-
sion was called by Mr.. Johns.
On motion of Mr. Jamison, sec
onded by Mr.. Youngblood, the Tues
day votes were rescinded automati-
