Citizen Group Attacks
Transit Fare Boost

1t is "shortsighted and entirely
indefensible" to increase fares
at this time, the Citizens Commit
tee against a transit fare increase
declared yesterday.
The Public Utilities Commission
has completed a public hearing on
the proposed fare increase. The
Capital Transit Company asked
elimination of the weekly pass, a
15-cent cash fare and a price of
six for 80 cents.
ANY increase in the cost of so
basic a need as transportation
for low-income and middle-in-
come families will add an intol-
cradle burden to the already over
burdened working people who are
feeling the pressure of job inse-
curity, initiation and unemploy-
ment," the citizens committee
statement said.
The committee disputed con-
tentions that use of the weekly
pass is abused through use by
many other than the original pur-
chaser. 1t said generally it is the
working people who buy passes
and use them primarily to get to
work.
Co-chairmen of the committee
are John H. Martini, financial
secretary of Hotel and Restau-
rant Employees Local 209. and the
Rev. A. j. Allen of the First Bap-
tiSt Church, Deanwood.

Attorney Charles B. Murray to ar

sent to District Jail after the brief
hearing. An inquest probably will
be ordered this week. police said.
Police Version of Statement.
Capt. Murray gave this version
of Tyler's statement:
On the afternoon of April 6
Tyler and a 20-year-old COM
panion, whose name police with
held, went to the store and
ceased" it from floor to floor, pay
ing special attention to the cash
drawers with a view to returning
after the store closed.
The two did not leave until
shortly after the store closed, and
the doors were locked. A guard
on an early shift let them out
through the E street door. This
was not unusual, police said. as
customers sometimes fail to leave
on time. Their exit apparently
aroused no suspicion.
On the street, Tyler was quoted
as saying, his companion de-
INJURED at returning to rob the
store, explaining he had a juvenile
record and didn't want to get
into more trouble with the law.
Noticed Sprung Windows.
Tyler went to his home at 1902
Pomeroy road Sc, where he lives
with his family, and returned to
the store about midnight alone.
He had noticed that a window
was sprung on the mezzanine floor
where trash from the tearoom is
lowered into an areaWay on ropes
which run through a pulley and
contain hooks on the lower end.
Tyler was quoted as saying he
tied the hooks together, climbed
the ropes and entered through the
window.
He then went to the tearoom
kitchen and took the knife-a
slender, newly -honed boning blade
share on both edges and pointed
Detectives said Tyler showed
them in the store last night how
he hid for a "long time" in the
kitchen, peeking through the door
to see what went on with the
Watchmen on the street floor.
Saw Elevator Stop.
Tyler then climbed the stair
ways to the darkened sixth tiool
and began to ransack it in
search for money. 1t was while he
was thus engaged that he saw
the elevator stop at the sixth
floor.
The suspect was quoted as say
ing that he knew a watchmar
would be on the elevator and he
would have to do something about
it.
1t happened>that Mr.. Hess was
on the elevator, sharing the duty
of patrolling the upper floors al
alternate hours with his partner

level.
Tyler said he saw Mr.. Hess pis-
tol in it's holster as the watchman
stepped from the elevator. The
intruder was quoted as saying he
seized the man and they tussleo
backward into the elevator, where
he was stabbed repeatedly. The
body then was dragged from the
elevator across a hallway.
Didn't Want a Gun"
Tyler went back into the ele-
vator, it was said, and tried to
take it down. He swung the con-
troll the wrong way, and blew out
a fuse. Police learned that day
they said. that the elevator had
been put out of commission by
the blown fuse.
Tyler then took a f1ashlight
which Mr.. Hess had dropped. It
belonged to his partner. police
said. The intruder slipped down
the steps toward the ground floor
He was asked why he did not
take Mr.. Hess pistol, police said
and replied that he didn't want
a gun"
Tyler encountered Mr.. Carpen-
ter near the elevators and. en-
trance to the steps on the ground
floor. The watchman was un-
armed, since the man with the
upper floor duty usually carried
the weapon.
Watchman Almost Escaped.
Tyler. police said, stated he
dragged Mr.. Carpenter into the
entry way of a nearby mems
room, tied him with length OF
rope and gagged him with a hand
kerchief he had taken off a stock
counter near the elevator.
He then took a small leather
makeup travelling bag from an
other counter, it was said, ano
went to the mezzanine floor to
try to get into the cashiers cage
Tyler propped an outer sdool
open with broom, but found he
could not get through the SECOND
floor to get at the safe.
He then decided to leave, II
was said. and threw down the
flashlight. where it later was
found.
Tyler went down the steps ano
passed a small window in the
outer door of the mems room
where he had left Mr.. Carpenter
He glanced through the window

looSed the rope and had taken
the gag from his mouth.

swered this amply except for one
thing. She stated that generally
rentals run considerably less than
here, and I find this is just the
reverse. 1t was true when I left
Dallas about ten years ago that it
was perfectly possible to rent a
nice house between $40 and $50.
However. I have just returned
from arduous house hunting in
Dallas and am making prepara-
tions to move back.
In the nice suburban areas of
Highland and University Park
you will not find anything less
than $3.50 and mostly around 5000

low type house about Is years
old in an older section of the city
for 500 and considered myself
lucky. I also canvassed small
nearby towns such as Irving,
Grand Prairie, Garland, Airing

living conditions and school con-
ditions were not up to modern
standards.

ICE BOX; ALUMINIUM
PITCHER?
LINEN?

From Mrs. r. D., WGshingtonJ
To Mrs. A. R., Arlington: We
looked at several car ice boxes be-
fore we chose a red one put out
by a soft drink company. Some OF
the smaller ones only had a small
place for the ice which didn't leave
much room for the food and bev-
erages and it didn't seem like the
beverages would get very cold.
Ours has a removable tray fast
ened to the lid for food and We
can put plenty Of beverages and
ice in the bottom and the ice lasts
approximately two days. We have
really enjoyed ours and feel that
it was well worth paying a little
more for. We used ours for long
trips. We were even able to put
a watermelon in it with ice around
and it certainly worked wonder
fully. Ours is the middle size box.
Also ours has a spigot. so the
water can be let out of the box
before putting new ice in and a
bottle opener attached to the side.
There is a box put out by an
other soft drink company which Is
white and I understand is similar
to the one we have.
Now, I would like some informa-
ton. I have a hand-wrought alumi-
mum pitcher which I received as
a wedding gift. I didn't have q
vase, so I used the pitcher for
flowers and found that the inside
turned dark and I can't seem to
get it out. Could any one tell me
how I could get the pitcher clean
and what beverages can be put
in an aluminium pitcher or can
it only be used for water.
Also, I have some pure linen
table cloths and napkins which
have never been used and I have
heard that they should be washed
every so often whether they are
used or not. Win some one please

Can you cure a child's illness

declares in Let's Make Hospitals

made many times concerning chill

is possible for a child to recover

Except in situation where par
ents who are emotionally dis
turbed themselves upset the child.
1t has been found that seeing
mother and daddy helps, rather
than hinders, a child's behavior.
In hospitals. 1t is precisely
what a child doesn't know that
hurts him" the author points out.
The child's best protection against
emotional shock is to be told,
calmly and honestly (though not
necessarily in great detaiD what
rs going to happen to him, he says.
What happens to him need not
be a horror. he adds. 1t is not
the pain, 1t is the terror sur
rounding it that scars the child's
personality. The pain of most
hospital treatments can be re-
duced to a certain minimum. the
author has learned: few pro-
gressive hospitals have proved
that the terror surrounding the
pain also can be eliminated almost
entirely-with a real gain In medi-
cal efficiency. For example. a
child should not be subjected to
such an ordeal as a wait of any
duration outside the operating
room.
If your child faces hospitaliza-
tion. ask your doctor if your own
hospital will spare him the after
maths of fear and shock, he
advises. Hospital trustees are also
IN position to inform parents
OF hospital policies.
