Ho|ober Case May Ga
Before Grand Jury in
Fairfax on March Il

Fairfax County authorities sale
today the case of Charles Francis
Holober, confessed slayer of his
wife and infant daughter, prob
ably would go before county
grand jury which convenes
March 81.
At Fairfax Jail, meanwhile, Of
ficials indicated Holober appar-
emily was unmoved by the events
of yesterday, when he re-enacted
the crime. They said he slept
we'll and ate a good breakfast.
Funeral services of Mrs. Fran
ces Garner Holober, 81, and the
baby, 8 months, were conducted
yesterday by Rabbi Henry Segal
Of the B'Nai Israel Congregation
at the Goldberg Funeral Home
4217 Ninth street NV.
About 13O persons attended the
rites. many of them filing by the
open casket to see the body of the
slain woman, her daughter claspeo
in her arms.
Holober Not Allowed to Attend.
The only member of Mrs. Holo-
ber's immediate family present
was her father, Irving Garner
Mrs. Garner is a Semi-invalid.
Holober was refused permission
by Fairfax authorities to attend
the services for the woman he shot
to death and the baby he buried
alive last Thursday with the
mothers body in a clearing ir
Fairfax County.
Rabbi Segal, who explained that
several persons in Mrs. Holober' S
family were members of his con-
gregation, although she was not
read the 23d psalm in Hebrew
and then recited it in English
with the congregation.
He paid tribute to the slain
woman, saying:
Here it can be said she died
climbing, always hoping to find
personal happiness through giving
happiness to those who were near
her. Her great yearning was for
motherhood. At least she saw
that fulfillment.
Burial was in the B'Nai Israel
Cemetery. Oxon Hill, Md, where
Sexton K. Goldman joined with
Rabbi Segal in the rites.
Used Toy Pistol.
Earlier, Holober went willingly
with Fairfax County detectives to
the scene of the crime at the
Green Forest nudist camp on an
isolated road about miles from
Pender. Observation-Disclosures to
Detective Sergt. Cecil Brownie
re-enacted step by step the crime
while the cameras of Detective
John Hailman and a Star staff
photographer recorded the scene
He was handed a realistic look
ing toy pistol which he pointed at
the head of a STOPPING detective to
show exactly how he shot his wife
The pistol, which was bought
especially for the re-enactment by
1t. Grafton Wells, Fairfax detec-
tive chief. was so realistic that it
enormously reported in yester-
days Star that the actual murder
weapon was used.
1t. Wells explained today that
Fairfax police adhere strictly to
the rules governing the handling
of firearms and do not point un-
loaded guns at people.
Holober signed full confession
of the crimes after his arrest early
Monday in front of his home at
1916 Shepherd street NV. He
agreed to go to Fairfax where he
was arraigned on two charges OF
murder and jailed in lieu of $780,
900 bond.

Social Security Bill Proposal

10 JQe handicapped WlCQOuC req
eral aid under what is known a.
general assistance" There are
not so many of these unemploy-
ables as there are in the other
categories, but since their month
ly payments come out of the
Districts own pocket their main
tenance adds up to sizeable por-
ton of the total welfare bill.
Under the proposed law the
Federal Government would pay
a share of the assistance given
to all the categorieS of unem-
ployables now being helped by
the District Board of Public We'll
fare. Members of the board have
calculated that this share would
be fiat As per cent in all cases
The percentage the Government
pays varies from State to State
according to the per capita in.
come, except that the law sets the
minimum of Federal participation
at 40 per cent and the maximum
at rs.
Under this system, the District
is at something of disadvantage
1t is rated eighv.. among the States
on a basis of per capita income
and consequently is at the lower
end of the scale, SO far as Fedora
help is concerned. However, it ha!
been pointed out that, because Of
the peculiar tax structure here
the revenues available to the Dis
trict Government are dispropor-
tionate to this per capita figure.
Both Loss and Gain.
There would be, then, both 8
gain and loss in the money avail
able to the District for home relief
under the proposed law. The
share of Federal aid in the cate.
gories of relief to the aged anc
blind would be less. but that loss
would be balanced by the Govern
ment's participation in helping the
handicapped. Aid to dependent
children would not be affected.
Local officials believe these gains
and losses would just about canoe,
each other out, and that:
l. The size of individual relief
payments would not change from
what they are now.
2. The number of people who
would benefit under the law would
not increase except that about
200 additional persons would be
included under relaxed residence
requirements.
3. No employable person would
be eligible for assistance from the
Welfare Board.
The Federal law would provide
Government aid for employable
persons, but local officials say Dis
trict funds are inadequate to per-
NIT including them in the welfare
program here.
This is not to say that these
changes may not be made. Grants
now are based on 1916 living
costs, less 7 per cent economy
slash. The House Appropriations
Committee yesterday cut out
$244,000 of the Welfare Depart
ment's 1850 budget. and officials
of the department predicted today
this will mean an additional cut
of 13 per cent.
The number of persons ap-
plying for assistance is rising
rapidly, and some form of relief
over and above unemployment
compensation for jobless employ
ables, is said to be a growing
necessity.
But any such expansion of the
District welfare program must
come from an increase in loca,
revenues. There is nothing in the
Presidents home relief propose
that gives promise of Federal as
SiStance in bringing it about.
