Peak Employment
In Washington Area
Reported During June

Employment in the Metropoli-
tan Washington Area reached its
highest point in history during
June, and it is expected to go even
higher in the coming months, the
United States Unemployment
Service reported today.
The growth in jobs is expected
to continue, despite the fact that
fewer people are moving to Wash
|ington.
During June, there were 600, 700
workers here, exclusive of agri-
cultural, self employed and
household workers and armed
forces personnel and workers for
other governments.
Governmental hiring should
rise after budgetary uncertainties
are cleared" the USES reported,
land various other establishments
are expected to need more per-
sonnet for fall operations"
The demand for workers in
other areas and the high cost of
living in Washington are respon-
sible for the cut in the number of
people moving here, the USES
said.
The fact that fewer job-seek-
ers are coming into the area, the
report added, will mean lowered
job qualifications with respect to
age, sex and physical require
Iments. There are about 16,700
eligible workers unemployed here
now, the USES reported.
The June employment figure
showed there are $500 more
people working here than there
were in June, 1850. OF these, an
estimated $1,000 joined the Fed
eral Government payrolls-an in
crease Of DIS per cent.
In addition to Washington, the
report included Fairfax and Ar
lington Counties in Virginia, and
Montgomery and Prince Georges
Counties in Maryland.

Dead Corpse Joke
Ends in Hospital as
Policeman Shoots 7

A macabre joke backflred on
two Silver Spring plumbers yes
terday and resulted in their being
shot by a Montgomery County
police officer.
Both Woodrow W. Sydnor, IS,
and Daniel Yeager, Is. were ad-
mitted to Suburban Hospital after
the shooting, which occurred in
Sydnor's home at 2704 Lindell
avenue, Glenmont Forest. Each
had single gunshot wound in
one leg and multiple decorations
of the head.
Officer Robert McAllister, sum-
moned to the house to investigate
a telephoned report of a sudden
death, shot the two men in self
defense, according to Police Chief
Charles M. Orme. Both men have
been placed under $4,000 bond,
Sydnor charged with blasphem-
ing. making a false report and
aSsaulting a policeman, and
Yeager with assaulting a police
man.
Orme Reconstructs Events.
A witness to part of the drama
was David Chase, one of two en-
ployeS of a funeral home who
were summoned by a similar tele-
phone call.
After consulting with Officer
McAllister and Mr.. Chase for
nearly an hour, Chief Orme re-
constructed the events as follows:
At 1885 pm, the Warner E.
Humphrey funeral home in Sill
yer Spring was asked to remove
the body of Daniel Yeager from
2704 Lindell avenue. The caller
identified himself as Woodrow
Sydnor.
Mr.. Chase and Michael Rinaldi
were sent in a service ambulance.
When they arrived, Mr.. Chase
was met at the door by Sydnor,
who escorted him to the basement.
A figure was lying on the floor,
half covered by rug. Mr.. Chase
approached the figure and was
greeted by the supposed corpse.
Mr.. Chase told Sydnor the man,
later identified as Yeager, was
not dead and started to leave the
house to call police. At this
point, Officer McAllister appeared
on the scene. Mr.. Chase told him
of the live corpse in the basement
and Officer McAllister descended
to investigate.
Finally Shoots Men.
Words were exchanged between
the officer and Sydnor. The latter
raised his fist rnenancingly and
forced the policeman to back
toward the stairs. The corpse"
came to life and Joined in the
attack on Sydnor. Officer Meal
lister drew his blackjack and
placed the men under arrest for
making a false report. At this
point the men struck out at the
officer and he backed up the stairs
to the kitchen, failing with the
blackjack. When the men refused
to cease the attack, he drew his
revolver and shot each man once.
The service ambulance did not
make the return trip empty. Both
men were taken in it to Suburban
Hospital. where they were report
ed in good condition late yester-
