By Restaurant Food POISONING

Alexandria, and Sol Benick, 20,
of 315 Decatur street NV.
DR.. McGough said the ham had
been cooked "a day or so before"
and had been kept at room tenn
perature while being used over a
24-hour period. The remainder
then was incorporated in the
cheese and macaroni meal.
The health officer said the
germ produces toxin which is
not killed by cooking even though
the germ may be.
The incident should serve as a
warning to restaurant operators
and housewives as well, DR.. Nc

on the label of the hams they buy
He said if the hams are of the
type which should be refrigerated,

Sheriff Spurs Inquiry
Into Death Of Wife Of
Farm Group Official

Stafford County authorities con-
tinued an investigation today into
the death Of Mrs. Russell Smith,
a., Of Alexandria, whose body was
found November % beside a high
way near Fredericksburg, Va.
The woman's body was dis
covered nearly a month after she
left her home at 80 South Lee
street with the intention of board
ing bus for Birmingham, Ala.
Resting against a tree about 200
yards off Route I, - miles north
of Fredericksburg. the body was
fully clad except for shoes.
It was this missing link that
prompted Sheriff A. r. Mac
Gregor to keep the case open
pending a complete investigation.
The sheriff indicated that the
condition of Mrs. Smiths stock
ing feet suggested she may have
been carried from a car. Another
theory was that the shoes had
been removed some distance from
the body and had i'econe covered
with leaves. An extensive search
failed to uncover them.
DR.. L. F. Lee, Stafford County
medical examiner, issued a pre-
liminary report in which probable
cause Of death was given as bar
b1turate poisoning. This was based
on the finding of several bottles
near the body.
Mrs. Smiths husband, who is
legislative secretary of the Ma
tional Farmers Union, told Alex
andria police he drove his wife
to bus stop near Fredericksburg
on October 27.
He explained that Mrs. Smith
had been i'll for years and had
received psychiatric treatment.
She had expressed a desire to
visit relatives in Birmingham, Ala,
and to get a job there. Believing
change might be beneficial. he
agreed to the trip, Mr.. Smith
said.
To comfort her further. he fol-
lowed her suggestion that he drive
her a few miles South, where she
might catch the bus. Sheriff Mac
Gregor said Mrs. Smith was let
out at bus stop, 400 or 500 yards
from where the body was found"
Mr.. Smith assumed his wife had
continued her trip South and was
not disturbed until he read that
the body of a woman had been
found November %.
After telephoning the relatives
in Alabama and learning Mrs.
Smith had not arrived, he notified
Alexandria police.

Measure 10 Extend
National P|anningGets
Backing in Maryland

The pending bill to reorganize
the National Capital Park and
Planning Commission was re-
indorsed yesterday by the Mary
land National Capital Park and
Planning Commission. The Mary
land group said the bill would
strengthen and clarity the author
ity of the national group without
infringing on the functions of the
State branches.
The Maryland commission took
exception, however, to a Virginia
proposal for regional representa-
ton on the national commission,
because this would give Virginia
five members to Maryland's two.
It was pointed out that almost
twice as much Maryland as Vir-
ginia acreage is involved in the
planning.
The Maryland commission said
1.-The bill not only clarifies the
relationship between the national
commission and its suburban
counterparts, but offers real and
tangible benefits to planning
agencies in Maryland and Vir-
ginia." These points were made
in favor of the legislation:
/. 1t would give Maryland and
Virginia their first representation
on the national commission and
enable an interchange of first
hand information on the needs OF
the communities.
2. The bill would give some
measure of control over local lands
to suburban planning groups and
provide prior consultation before
large Federal land acquisitions in
the suburban areas.
8. 1t would give to the Virginia
suburbs the right to acquire river
valley parks with Federal aid
under the Capper- -Cramton Act
Maryland obtained authority to
participate in the plan 20 years
ago. The commission Heartily
recommended it to Virginia plan
ming groups.

Agency Calls for Use
Of Bomb Shelters
As Parking Spaces

The Motor Vehicle Parking
Agency will recommend to the
Commissioners that any under
ground bomb shelters to be built
in the District be used as parking
spaces.
This was decided at a meeting
of the agency yesterday. The
group will take up with Police In
spector John E. Fondahl, acting
head of civil defense here, the
use of the shelters as parking
areas. Boston and New York City
shelters are going to double as
underground garages, the agency
was told.
The agency decided to withdraw
its request that the proposed play
ground adjacent to Seaton Ele-
mentary School, between Second
and Third and H and I streets
NV, be used as a parking space.
1t will recommend, however, that
a 60-foot strip of the Matthew G.
Emery estate on Georgia avenue
be used for parking. The strip
would extend along Madison street,
from Georgia avenue to Ninth
street NV. The estate was pur-
chased as a recreational center
and has been used as a summer
day camp by the Recreational
Department.
The site of the old Brightwood
school. at Georgia avenue and
Peabody street NV, also was rec
commended for use as a parking
area. The school itself is now
being torn down.
The parking areas on the Emery
estate and the Brightwood school
would have parking meters. The
meters would permit parking for
various time periods at prices
ranging from to Is cents.
Both sites would be temporary
and could be converted to recre-
ational purposes whenever desired.
Charles M. Upham, agency
chairman, said several downtown
parking areas are being planned
by private interests. He said he
hopes to have about half of the
1000 additional spaces the agency
said it needed some time ago in
operation next year. He said
many of the parking spaces are
now being prepared and will be
finished in few months.
