BY the Associoied Press

LURAY, Va, Mar. 15.-Freed of
a murder charge in the fatal
shooting of her war veteran hus-
band, Mrs. Barbara Parks went
into seclusion today to recover
from her ordeal.
Il think it was a just trial and
I thank them very much" re-
marked the 26-year-old red-haired
widow when Page County Trial
Judge John H. Booton dismissed
the murder charge after a three
hour hearing yesterday.
Throwing out the charge, Judge
Booton said the State presented
no evidence as to a motive or to
show that the fatal pistol was in
Mrs. Parks hands. He added that
"all the rest is mere suspicion"
The attractive redhead was ar
rested February 18 shortly after
she reported the death in the
Perks home, 8 miles south of here,
of 38-year- Robert Franklin
Parks. retired Army captain who
survived the Death March of
Bataan and four years in Japa-
nese prison camps.
After Mrs. Parks had been held
four days in jail without charge,
Commemorative Attorney I. r..
Dovel issued formal murder war
rant. Mrs. Parks then was freed
on $4,000 bond until yesterdays S
hearing.
Mrs. Parks told Page County
authorities when she was taken

into custody that the shooting was
accidental.
Sheriff Abram Brubaker testi-
fled yesterday that the widow told
him Mr.. Parks was in the bed
room and she was in the kitchen
when she heard the gun discharge
several times. He quoted her as
saying she returned to the bed
room, where Mr.. Parks told her,
Barbara, this thing backfired.' ~
Five bullet holes were found in
the floor of the Parks bedroom
and DR.. Godfrey T. Mann, State
chief medical examiner, said they
must have been fired by some one
standing in the position in which
Mr.. Parks was standing when he
was shot.
DR.. Mann testified that he be-
lieved Mr.. Parks was standing
in an upright position when he
received the wound" He testified
also, however, that he did not
think the wound could have been
self inflicted.
An FBI ballistics expert, G.. A.
Burley, testified the gun was fired
when thrown against an object.
He said the indentations and
paint marks found on the gun
matched those found on a grill
between the bedroom and the liv-
ing room of the Parks home.
Answering a question by De-
fense Attorney Lynn Lucas, a
State police special investigator
Sergt. c. A. Seal, said that the
evidence in the case pointed to
the shooting being accidental.

County Chest 10 Probe
Crowded HOUSING

The Montgomery County Com
munity Chest and Council has
appointed a 30-member commit
tee to investigate crowded housing
conditions in the county.
Chairman of the group is Philip
Schiff, Bethesda.
AS it's first step, the committee
has asked the County Council
to name a 15-member citizens
advisory group to help in the study.
The Chest took its action after
receiving reports that scores of
families throughout the county
are crowded into single rooms with
no water or toilet facilities.
In some cases, as many as eight
persons are reported living in one
room, according to Chest officials.
Such conditions, they said, "can
result in epidemics affecting the
entire county"
A Chest spokesman said most of
the persons have lived in the
county many years.
They have no place to move to
because their incomes are limited, -

Council Seekinq
Revenue
In Alexandra
City Manager Reveals
Budget for 1850 Is
sos, 900 in Red w..

Alexandria City Councilmen to-
day were seeking added revenue
to balance a 1850 budget which
is $208,000 in the red.
City Manager Guy Ancell
brought the financial problem to
light at the councils meeting last
night.
Councilman Marshall j. Bever-
ley cited the deficit in casting the
only vote against an ordinance
to annex 71a square miles of
Fairfax County territory, which
was approved on first reading.
Second reading and passage of
the ordinance can be accom-
plished in a week, after which the
city would file suit.
deeply Concerned"
Mr.. Ancell told the Councilmen
that he was deeply concerned
over the state of our present
budget -"
The budget adopted by the
Council at the beginning of this
year included $187 500 in revenue
from a 5 per cent tax On utility
bills. Councilmen have never i'm
posed the tax, however, leaving
the budget short by that amount
In addition, there is a $4,000
deficit which the Council antici-
pated when it adopted the budget
Mr.. Ancell agreed at the begin
ming of the year to try to cut
back expenses to meet this
amount.
But figures. when added to the
$4,000 deficit of past years, would
place the total deficit for 1850 at
$403,500.
Cites Transient Problem.
Mr.. Ancell pointed out, however,
that real estate taxes will exceed
expectations. He estimated about
100000 in taxes will come from
the new Braddock Light & Power
Co. plant, and that private real
estate taxes would bring in sos, 900
more than expected. These wind
falls" reduce the deficit to
$208,000, he explained.
Added income, the city mana
ger suggested, should come from
people who now pay little or no
taxes.
Until the council realizes that
at least one third of our popula-
ton could be termed transients
and finds some subject of taxation
which can be assessed against and
collected from these people," said
Mr.. Ancell, Il do not believe Alex
andria's fiscal affairs will ever be
in unsatisfactory condition. . 81
Two of the city managers pro-
posals for more income were de-
feated. The Council voted against
proposed tax on soft drink bottling
companies and tabled a proposal tc
impose license tax of 20 cents
per 500 on rental incomes.
