Treasurer Of Union
Is Fined for Carrying
UnIoaded Gun in Car

| A Washington labor union Off
cial was fined $50 in Upper Marl-
boro Police Court yesterday fol
carrying an unloaded pistol in
his car.
/ Trial Magistrate Alan Bowie
imposed an additional fine of SIS
for reckless driving on Albert G
Gray, 38, of Parkland. Md, who
said he was secretary-treasurer
of a Washington Meat Cutters
Union. Gray pleaded guilty to
the reckless driving charge.
According to the testimony. the
pistol, with the clip removed, was
in the glove compartment when
Gray's car was stopped June 9 by
Prince Georges County police.
The defendant told Judge Bowie
he had permit from District au-
thorities to keep gun at his
home and Office. He explained
he collected dues from union
members which sometimes totaled
as much as $4,000.
Couldn't Deposit at Night.
He added he was forced to keep
the money overnight because the
union deals with a bank that has
no night depository.
Andrews Air Force Base author
tiles came in for sharp criticism
from Judge Bowie in a case in
which Walter E. Smart told the
court he was driving an Army
road grader with faulty brakes
when he was involved in an acci-
dent Monday near the intersec-
tion of Grain highway and the
Marlboro pike.
Corpl. Smart said he was unable
to stop his 22,000-pound vehicle
before it crashed into car driven
by Miss Agnes Duvall. welfare
supervisor for the Prince Georges
County commissioners.
Miss Duvall said the impact
caused her to black out tempo
rarily. but that otherwise she was
uninjured.
An officer, who appeared for
base authorities. explained that
the grader was one of II found to
have defective brakes shortly af-
ter 80 vehicles had been received.
He said the fault had not been
discovered when Corpl. Smart
was assigned to drive the grader
to Baltimore.
$50 Fine Suspended.
Judge Bowie imposed a $50 fine
for reckless driving but suspended
the fine because the driver was
under orders when he took the
truck on the highway"
THE Army should, and no doubt
does, have an officer responsible
for the safe condition of it's equip
ment." the court declared. IF ]
had him before me I would SEN
tence him to six months in the
House of Correction.

ton with these stock sales clearly
indicates that the public was led to
believe that the invention was on
the verge of perfection and would
be completed and ready for general
production within a very short
time, whereas, the fact as testi-
fed by Mr. Caldwell indicate that
no machine on which he had ever
worked had been successfully flown
or was in any condition for manu-
'facture and sale upon satisfac-
tory commercial basis.
Fund Raising Criticized.
"The history Of the Develop
ment of these companies indicates
that they were organized merely
for the purpose of raising money
to develop the ideas of Mr.. Cald-
well. and that as soon as this
money was raised, it was treated
as belonging solely to him and as
the subject of any use which he
deemed proper.
No meeting of stockholders has
ever been held by either company
and no financial report to stock
holders has ever come out since
organization"
The testimony in the case re-
vealed that the Gray Goose COM
pany was organized in Nevada in
1928. Three years later the COM
pany moved to New Jersey and
after 10 months there was en-
joined from selling stock.
It then transferred its Office to
New York and in 1884 the COM
pany was ordered to stop selling
stock there. The same year the
company moved to washington,
D. c., and it was after this time
that stock was sold to Mary
landers.
In Washington the company
had financial difficulties and as a
result a new corporation-Rotor
Planes. Inc.-was formed. Stock
holders Of the Gray Goose Air
ways, Inc. were then requested
to transfer their stock to the new
corporation.
MIR. Clapp, during the hearing,
developed testimony that the only
machine Caldwell perfected which
had a possibility of being of any
value, infringed on a prior patent
on o similar machine.

HedriingP Planned
On Progress in
S|unl Clearance
Sporkmon Decision
Follows Conference
With D. G. Officials

Chairman Sparkman of the SEN
ate Banking subcommitte on Hous-
ing and Rents plans a public hear
ing within a few weeks to survey
progress by the District toward
slum clearance under the new Ma
tional Housing Act.
The Alabama Democrat decided
on the hearing last night, follow
ing. a conference yesterday on
Capitol Hill. where he and Sena-
tor Flanders. Republican. Of Ver-
mont. conferred on the subject
with District officials.
Meanwhile Senators Sparkman
and Flanders plan to make a per-
sonal visit soon to Marshall
Heights, which had been approved
for redevelopment program to
house persons displaced from slum-
clearance areas. An amendment in
the new Housing Act, however
blocks the District Commissioners
from asking for funds to use in
Marshall Heights.
More Data Wanted.
I'VE want to find out more about
what the District Is doing. and
what are its prospects for public
housing under the national act, "
Senator Sparkman said. During
the hearing, we expect to go fur
ther into the situation here to see
If we can speed the progress in
this city"
District Commissioner Guy Ma
son, who headed the city officials
at the conference on Capitol Hill
yesterday, made public later in
the day correspondence between
the two Senators and the city
heads.
The Senators had asked what
action had been taken to benefit
Immediately from the Housing
Act" and requested a statement
on the Commissioners broad
plans" for slum clearance and
public housing here during the
next six years.
Mr.. Mason's letter pointed out
that the Commissioners have not
yet developed any specific plans
for the purpose under provisions
of the new law.
Aware of Need.
Pointing out that the Marshall
Heights area had been denied
funds by Congress for redevelop-
ment under the Redevelopment
Land Agency law, the Mason letter
said:
"The Commissioners are aware
that adequate housing must be
provided for those families who
are financially unable to secure
proper private dwellings. They
believe that low-rent publice or
private housing must be provided
before the removal of unfit dwell
lings or before any slum clearance
projects can be accomplished"
The National Capital Housing
Authority has sent the Commis-
sioners a resolution asking their
cooperation in furthering its pro-
gram for public low-rent housing
and in obtaining sites for this
housing, and this Is now under
study, the letter said.
John Ihlder, NCHA executive
officer, said today he hopes and
believes" provisions can be made
for using part of the housing for
persons displaced by slum clear
ance program.
Under the new National Housing
Act, the District Government, act
ing through the Commissioners,
the Redevelopment Land Agency,
the NCHA and other agencies are
authorized to participate in loans
and grants approved by the Hous-
ing and Home Finance Agency Of
the Federal Government.
Already several cities through
out the country have made ap-
plication for such help, it was
learned. But the District is not
