Urges Fee Increase
To Cover Costs

The Commissioners microfilm-
ing committee recommended to-
day that the city seek an esti-
mated 100000 as soon as pos
sible to microfilm important land
and incorporation records in the
office OF the Recorder of Deeds.
The committee, headed by Au-
ditor A. R. Pilkerton, also pro-
posed that the commissioners seek
legislation to authorize an increase
in recording fees to cover the costs
of microfilming the records as a
protection against loss.
Records Go Back to 1890.
Mr.. Pilkerton said the COM
mittee was appalled," by the lack
of protection of the priceless re-
cords against the constant dan
ger of destruction by fire or
water damage.
The committee said that of the
greatest Importance are the land
records dating back to 1890 which
constitute about IS per cent Of
the estimated 6 million records.
Almost all are stored on open
wooden shelves, it was pointed out.
Budget Officer Walter L. Fowler
objected, however, to an appropri-
alton of 100000 at this time, al
though he said he had no objec-
ton to raising the fees.
Others Keep Documents.
He admitted that preservation
of the records was vital and their
loss would be a terrific incon-
venience." But he pointed out
that title companies, the title hold
ers and the District assessors Of
flee all have records permitting
secondary determination of title.
The Commissioners took the
committees recommendations un-
der advisement.
In addition to the proposals con-
cerning the land and incorpora-
ton records. the committee sug-
Igested that in lieu of microfllming
birth and death records of the
Health Department, they be moved
to safer storage in basement
rooms below the Offices of the

April Is Most UnIucky Month
For 7wice-Wounded District GI
Injured in Koreo War,
Sergeant Gets First
Trip Here Since '4o

If we ever get into another war,
Sergt. Ralph E. Rickenbacher is
going to go on furlough every
April.
The 29-year-old sergeant, now
recuperating from a Korean battle
wound at Walter Reed Hospital,
about two blocks from his home
lat 7436 Georgia avenue NV, still
hopes to make the Army his Ca
reer. But he's getting supersti-
tious about April.
Last April 13, while writing a
letter to his wife, Sergt. Ricken-
bacher recalled that on April Is,
1945, he was struck by a shell
fragment while fighting in Ger
many.
1.-TWO days from now I'm going
to stay in a hole and not even
stick my neck out" he wrote jok-
ingly.
That's just about what he did,
and the day passed without Incl
dent.
Hit by "Burp Gun"
But April rs. while directing fire
against the onrushing Chinese, he
didn't even have time to duck
before bullets from an automatic
rifle tore through his chest and
left arm.
II guess it's just not my month";"
he said today. THE guy who shot
me wasn't more than Is yards
anywhere he came from, I
don't know. because the rest of
the attackers were so yards or
more away.
my buddy punched me. T
turned around and there was this
guy with a 'burp' gun. The next
thing I knew I was hit"
Sergt. Rickenbacher, a graduate
of Central High School, said he
was shot just before his unit start
ed to fall back under the freshly
Chinese offensive.
1.-TWO fellows from the company
carried me to a jeep and tied me
on" he said. IF it hadn't been
for them, would have been cap
tured. because those Chinese were
really breaking through"
Evacuated BY Plane.
Less than IL hours after he was
Sergt. Rickenbacher was
on his way by plane to a rear area
evacuation hospital. There, he had
time to scrawl a brief note to his
wife, Mrs. Catherine v. Ricken-
bacher. The letter arrived here
before the telegram from the De-
tense Department informing herI
Of his wounds.
BY easy stages, Sergt. Ricken-
oacher was flown back to home.
He arrived in Washington last
Monday, his first visit here since
the summer of 1949.
AS soon as he could get special
permission, his wife brought to the

Ter. Marlene, whom he had never
