Waitress, 19, Saves ),
From Coal Gas Fumes
By Summoning Help

A 19-year-old waitress saved
three persons from probable death.
by coal gas asphy2iation yester-
day. Groggy from the gas herself.
she found the others unconscious
and summoned help.
Near victims of the gas leak at
1925 Kansas avenue NV. were
Mrs. Mary E. Walton, rs, owner Of
the house; Mrs. Hattie Clayton,
II, roomer there, and Mrs. Clay
tons granddaughter, Margaret Al
len. 7. All were revived after more
than a quarter of an hour of arti-
fetal respiration.
Discoverer of the stricken trio
was Miss Filomena Monaco, an
other roomer who was also treated
for effects of the gas.
Miss Monaco said she felt
groggy while in her second-f1oo
room and went out into the hall,
where she almost stumbled over
Mr.. Walton, who was lying on
the floor. Miss Monaco tele-
phoned her roommate, Miss
Matte Atkins, who worked in a
nearby drug store, and Miss
Atkins told Miss Monaco to call for
an ambulance.
While telephoning, she heard
moan in a nearby room, and
there found Mrs. Clayton had
apparently been overcome as she
tried to reach window. Her
granddaughter was on the bed.
Miss Monaco flung open windows
on the first and second floors and
was trying to move the victims
when No. Rescue Squad, No. ]

an Emergency Hospital am

Fourth Battalion Chief E. A.
Sweeney reported that he found
an elbow of the furnace smoke
pipe off in the basement and that
coal gas had filled the basement
and was being sucked into the up
per floors through heating regis
ters. The window in Miss Mo-
naco's room was open. and she did
not smell the gas until she went
into the hallway, she said.

DR.. Davies Declares
Li|ienthaI Victim in
March Of Mediocrity''

The resignation of David E.
Lilienthal as head of the Atomic
Energy Commission is another
step in a trend that will soon
make official Washington "a city
of nonentities, DR.. A. Powell
Davies, pastor of All Souls Uni
tartan Church. told his congrega-
ton yesterday.
Mr.. Lilienthal announced Tues
day he will leave his post on De-
cember 81 to return to private
life. The Atomic Energy Commits
sion head has been in Govern
ment service for 20 years.
Predicted Resignation.
DR.. Davies recalled in his SER

tired at last of being squealed at
by mice" The preacher also noted
that in his previous sermon he had
charged that Mr.. Lilienthal was
under harassment by a commit
tee of the Senate"
"Mr. Lilienthal was quite OBJ
viously the next most probable
victim in the dreary march of
mediocrity." DR.. Davies said. For
he was committing what Emerson
once called the 'offense of superb
ority'.''
Had No Fear of Russians.
The speaker called the resigna-
ton profoundly disturbing, "
coming as it did soon after the
Senate rejected Leland F. Olds
for third term on the Federal
Power Commission and after the
resignation or DISMISSAL" Of
many other Government officials,
There is no reason to worry
about the Russians dropping an
atomic bomb on Washington, DR..
Davies asserted. because why
should they interrupt something
which is doing them so much
good? AS alert strategists, they
must know that the elimination

courageous leadership will do
more for them than any number

Manslaughter charges against a
old Navy Department
artist in the shooting of a man
she said tried to rape her were
dismissed today after a prelim-
mary hearing in Trial Justice
Court here.
The accused, Miss Theresa
Koenig, 856 North Kensington
street, Arlington, did not testify
at the closed hearing before Trial
Justice Harold G.. Potts.
commemorative Attorney Ed
ward M. Williams said after the
hearing that a statement made to
him by the pretty Stephens City
(VaD girl Immediately after the
shooting November 18. was given
to Judge Potts.
In that statement. authorities
said. Miss Koenig told how she
shot Charles Kenneth Ellyett with
his own revolver in a car parked
on a lonely road near here. She
fed the scene and telephoned the
Clarke County sheriff's Office from
a farmhouse.
Shooting at 5 AM.
The shooting. according to in
vestigators, occurred about am.
as the climax. of a night in which
Ellyett had held her captive and
attempted to force his attentions
on her.
After the hearing the slender
girl appeared composed, but would
not discuss the matter with re-
porterS except to say that she
expects to 60 back to work this
week in the Bureau of Naval Per-
sonnel in Arlington.
Witnesses today were County
Sheriff w. w. Smallwood, two
sisters of the dead man. Mrs. Vir-
ginia Owens, Berryville. and Mrs
Marian Mathers, Clifton Station,
Fairfax County, and William Bry-
ant. an Arlington acquaintance
of Ellyett, who was forced. by
Ellyett to accompany the couple
from Arlington. Mr.. Bryant
however, escaped when Ellyett
stopped at Mrs. Owens home and
was not present when Ellyett was
shot.
Also in the courtroom were Mr.
and Mrs. Paul Koenig, the girls
parents; her fiance. naval mid
shipman at Pensacola. Yla., and
Miss Koenig's three brothers.
Hearing Is Short.
The hearing took about / hour
and IS minutes.
Ellyett's mother and father. Mr..
and Mrs. j. w. Ellyett, and one
of his sisters. Mrs. Dorothy Poe.
Clifton Station. were excluded
from the hearing. The Ellyetts
operate a farm 5 miles southeast
of Berryville.
After the hearing. as reporters
attempted to get Miss Koenig to
talk, one of her brothers amplified
an earlier version of the meeting
of Miss Koenig and Ellyett.
He said that when they met on
a bus about four months ago
Ellyett told the girl he would be
glad to give her rides between
Arlington and Stephens City on
week ends when he was coming
home to Berryville. Ellyett, a
house painter, lived at Clifton
Station with Mrs. Mathers and
her husband, H. L. Mathers. dur
ing the week while working as a
house painter. Stephens City is
about Is miles southwest of Ber-
ryville.

In this regard, it's well to re-
call a similar investigation
launched several years ago by the
Senate Civil Service Committee.
After hearings lasting more than
three months, the investigation
collapsed and was never taken up
again.
The main reason for this, in the
opinion of many Capitol Hill OBJ
servers, was the committees lack
of, funds to do a thorough job
Without an adequate number OF
investigators to get f1rSt-hand evil
dence, there is not much that a
committee can do in the way OF
compiling an authoritative report.
That's the biggest obstacle fac
ing the House group, which has
never been given too much money
in the past for investigative pur-
poses, although it has done very
well with what it has had. Mem
bers of the three-member SUBJ

Government are asking Congress
for the right to spend over II bill

units in the next 31A years. At this
rate each public housing unit will
cost you, the American citizen, ap-
proximately $4,000. None of this
money will be repaid and it does
not include cost of land, architects,
aad-other fees.
This public housing will cost
more than Americans paid to buy
the over two million, two hundred
thousand homes constructed by the
private building industry during
the last 3R years. The average
sales price of homes produced by
private industry was about $4,000.
or less than half the amount being
