Tyler. who is colored, yester-
day repudiated the confession"
police say he made, in which he
admitted fatally stabbing two
watchmen in the Lansburgh &
Bro department store on April
7. The trial is in recess today.
The youth is charged, in a
seven-count indictment. with
Staying Oliver r. Hess, 81, and
John c. Carpenter. 81, while try
ing to steal $4,000 from the store.
He is being tried before Judge
Alexander Holtzoff and a jury of
eight women and four men.
Tyler testified yesterday he had
neither dictated nor read the con-
fession police say he made. He
testified he merely was given it to
sign.
Refuses to Identify Signature.
Under cross-examination by AS
sistant United States Attorney
Cecil r. Heflin, Tyler refused to
identify his signature, declaring
the name on several pages was his
but that he did not know whether
it was his signature.
Tyler also contended that he
"re-enacted" the crime at the
store, after first declining to do
so. only after Detective Sergt.
Lloyd B. Furr asked: You don't
want any more of what you got, do
you?"
Tyler had testified earlier @in
the trial that police twisted hand
cuffs on him and hit him to OBJ
tain a confession. Police have de-
MED any force was used.
The defendant denied he
pointed out things in the store
and volunteered information, as
previously testified by John L.
Mcintosh. operating manager of
the store, who accompanied Tyler
and the detectives during the re
enactment"
Denies Robbery Statement.
Tyler also denied he had stated,
in a preliminary hearing before
United States Commissioner Cyril
Lawrence: II went in there for
the purpose of robbery. I just
bumped into them (the watch
mem"
In another move late yesterday
defense counsel contended Tyler
was illegally in custody of police
at the time of the alleged confess
sion and ere enactment" of the
crime. They contended Tyler, who
had been committed to jail after
a preliminary hearing on a charge
of assault with intent to kill a
Southeast Washington druggist,
should have been in the custody
of the United States marshal.
For the first time, Tyler showed
signs of nervousness on the stand
while under cross-examination by
Mr.. Heflin. The defendant twisted
his hands. His voice was lowered.
"It is not true" Tyler answered
when asked whether he made the
alleged confession voluntarily. Il
took my chances on the jury that
they might understand my story"
said Tyler. while denying testi-
mony of other witnesses given
earlier at the trial.

keeping. Don't let trash pile up,
and keep waste paper in covered
containers. When an alert sounds,
do all you can to eliminate sparks
by shutting off the oil burner and
covering all open flames.
2. Know your own home. Know
which is the safest part of your
cellar, learn how to turn off your
oil burner and what to do about
utilities.
3. Have emergency equipment
and supplies handy. Always have
a good flashlight, a radio, first
aid equipment and a supply of
canned goods in the house.
A. Close all windows and doors
and draw the blinds. If you have
time when an alert sounds, close
the house up tight in order to
keep out fire sparks and radio
active dusts and to lessen the
chances of being cut by flying
glass. Keep the house closed until
all danger is past.
5. Use the telephone only for
true emergencies. Do not use the
phone unless absolutely necessary.
Leave the lines open for real
emergency traffic.

Six Survival Secrets
Always put first things first and
l. Try to get shielded. If you
have time, get down in a base
ment or subway. Should you un-
expectedly be caught out-of-doors,
seek shelter alongside building,
or jump in any handy ditch or
gutter.
2. Drop flat on ground or floor.
To keep from being tossed about
and to lessen the chances of being
struck by falling and flying OBJ
jects, flatten out at the base of a
wall, or at the bottom of a bank.
3. Bury your face in your arms.
When you drop flat, hide your
eyes in the crook of your elbow.
That will protect your face from
flash burns, prevent temporary
blindness and keep flying objects
out of your eyes.
Never lose your head and
A. Don't rush outside right after
a bombing. After an air burst,
wait a few minutes then go help
to fight fires. After other kinds
of bursts wait at least hour to
give lingering radiation some
chance to die down.
5. Don't take chances with food
or water in open containers. TO
prevent radioactive poisoning or
disease, select your food and
water with care. When there is
reason to believe they may be
contaminated, stick to canned and
bottled things if possible.
6. Don't start rumors. In the
confusion that follows a bombing.
a single rumor might touch off
4 panic that could cost your life.

the sun warns, the outdoors, the
inside may become too hot. Then
bodies become over-heated and
are chilled when going out again.
It's always a good idea to try
to build up resistance to colds by
eating the right kinds of foods
and getting enough sleep and rest.
Get some milk and cheese into
your daily diet. Make sure you eat
some green leafy and yellow vege-
tables, some fruit, meat or fish,
and whole wheat or enriched
white bread with butter or forti-
fled margarine.
A sure way to invite a cold is
to become over-tired and run
down because of not enough sleep.
Arrange your day to allow for
some recreation out of doors if
your work keeps you inside all
day. A short walk just before bed
time may help you sleep better.
Make it a point to avoid those
people who walk around with a
cold, sneeZing and coughing all
over the place, If you do come
down with a cold, play safe, stay
at home in bed for a day or two
and give your body chance to
get rid of it.
Neglected colds not only hang
on for days and weeks but may
lead to something more serious
like pneumonia or influenza. Then
instead of losing only a day or
two from work, weeks may be
lost before a person can return
to work.
When you stay home with a
cold, give the body plenty of rest.
This means keeping off your feet
and not trying to catch up with
things to do around the house.
Keep warm, eat lightly and drink
plenty of fruit juices and other
liquids. Keep away from other
members Of the family and don't
handle things others may use.
One of the hardest things to do
is to keep from dosing yourself
with all those highly advertised
cold cures. Lay off the stuff. II
you feel sick enough to need me-
dicine. you're sick enough to call
a doctor and have him give you
the kind of medicine your sick
ness calls for.
The worst danger from self.
medication lies in covering up q
serious condition which may need
early medical attention. This de.
lay may lead to flu or ever
pneumonia.
If you're the kind of person who
catches cold very easily, your
doctor may be able to locate your
trouble. Lowered resistance may
be due to infected sinuses, diseas-
ed tonsils, poor nutrition, and even
plain unhappiness.
