and New York.
A network connected the TV
projectors in the four cities.
Viewers watched movies and
studio demonstrations of rescue

ing procedures.
Viewers at home, however, saw
none of it. The program was car
ried over CLOSED circuit limit
ing it to the theaters. Several
hundred observers here gathered

ect as the possible forerunner of
a series of such programs for
mass civil defense training.
Administrator Millard F.. Cald-
well, speaking from WMAL-TV,
said future training sessions would
be carried to so cities.
Today'S audience was asked to
fill out questionnaires. however.

would determine whether the idea
is adopted.

after the screen presentation. He
admitted civil defense organiza-
ton here hasn't made the progress
wed like to have made" but in
answer to a question he denied it

paying from $4,000 to $4,000
as the initial cost for an auto
motive creation that gives up to
three miles to the gallon.
When you say FILL 'er up," it
means 35 to go gallons.
You'll give it a wash. job or
a wipe-off every day, even
though it hasn't been out of the
barn. and maintain a crank
case full Of oil as clear as the
day it poured out of the can.
Tires are never, never re-
capped or regrooved. If the
battery is consistently below the
normal mark, it must be dis
carded. Frequent fabrication
means five times the number of
greasing points found in the
average automobile.

You'll keep it IS years on ac-

you'll sell it for junk after the

Fay Proposes Issuing
Arrest Warrants for
Missing Witnesses

Arrest warrants may be issued
hereafter for persons who can
not be located when the District
grand jury tries to call them as
witnesses in its gambling inquiry
This policy was suggested yes
terday by United States Attorney
George Morris Fay after deputy
marshals had made fruitless ef-
forts to find Charles E. Nelson
jr., son of the key figure in the
gambling probe.
Mr.. Fay said that if all rea-
sonable attempts to locate the
young man fail, an arrest war
rant will be asked. The same pro-
Icedure. is proposed in the cases
of any others who cannot be
found in their usual places. MI
Fay added
Assistant United States Attor-
Iney John w. Fihelly said a deputy
marshal who went to the Nelson
farm at Ritchie, Md, for Charles
Nelson, jr.. was told by the father
that the young man had packed
his suitcase and left for parts
unknown.
The father admitted to the
Senate Crime Investigating Com
lmittee last month that he had
invested money in what he
thought" was a numbers busi-
ness. The Senate probers declared
that Nelson really was the head
Iof a gambling syndicate that
crosses Sc million year in the
District. Maryland and Virginia.
The Senate findings led to the
District grand jury investigation
and brought promises in Prince
Georges County for a similar in
Iquiry. starting october /. In ad-
dition, the Senate has appropri-
ated $25,O00 for further study of
gambling in the Metropolitan
Iarea.
The District jury is in recess
until Wednesday.

thesis is the mysterious process
whereby plants transform energy
from the. sun into living tissue or

Technically it is the formation
of carbohydrates from water and
from carbon dioxide in the air, in
the MISUNDERSTANDING tissues
of plants exposed to sunlight.
Officials said the mathematical
formula used in the experiments
is now being prepared and will
be published next month.
The statement said the pres

retical significance only with re-
gard to experimental "chlorella

Alert Detectives Trap
Carolina Fugitive With
.Crude|y Dyed Hair

A crude job of hair-dyeing and
an alert pair of policemen brought
the downfall today of fugitive
sought since last July after he
assaulted a guard and fed a
North Carolina jail.
Things didn't seem quite right
to Eighth Precinct Detective Ever
ett Sadler when two precinct men
brought in a youth who identi-
fled himself as John Lee Travis,
10. He was arrested after traffic
accident on Yuma street at Forty
sixth street NV. at 1880 am
today.
For one thing, the youth had
no District drivers permit.
For another, he didn't have
registration papers for the auto
mobile he was driving.
And. as a clincher, Detective
Sadler noted that the youth, his
hair a crudely-dyed brown, was in
reality a blond.
The detective called the fugi-
tive squad. Detective Sergt. Will
liam Krist recalled that a mar
named James Louis Brown, 10
had been sought here since July
as North Carolina fugitive.
Brown, police had been told
had been using the name John
Lee Travis. The man with the
traffic charges against him was
brought to headquarters, where il
was established definitely that
Travis was in reality Brown.
Brown, detectives related, was
in Jail in July at Taylorsville,
N. c., awaiting trial on three
charges of housebreaking, involv-
ing safes. He knocked out the
jailer and escaped, and now he's
wanted on that charge, too.
Police said North Carolina po-
lice are en- route here for Brown.
They added that Brown indicated
he would waive extradition.

Safeway Stores
1oAsk Higher
Food Ceilings
Hundreds of Items
included, Chain
Spokesman Says
By jones G. Deone

Washington's biggest grocery
chain plans to seek higher ceiling
prices on many food items.
The chain Safeway Stores, Inc.
ALREADY has asked the Govern
ment for increase on Al items,
ranging from flour to soup. APP
plications for additional raises will
be filed as fast as possible, a
spokesman said.
Altogether. about half of the
chains stock of some 500 "dry
grocery" items probably will be
affected. the spokesman added
The increases are being asked
under the so-called Capehart
amendment to the economic con-
ltrols law. The amendment per-
mits sellers to pass on to con-
sumers all cost increases from the
start of the Korean var to last
July 26.
Meat Ceilings Challenged.
Safeway also is challenging the
Governments present ceilings on
some meats. 1t has asked the
Emergency Court of Appeals tc
overrule Price Stabilizer Michael
w. DiSalle'S refusal to raise pork
lamb and veal ceilings.
The chain has $50 stores in the
Washington Metropolitan Area
It also is seeking higher grocery
ceilings in the rest of the 2,00C
stores it operates in % States,
Application for increases on the
first Al items here was filed with
the Office of Price Sterilization
Tuesday. The chain is surveying
the rest of it's stock and will file
the additional applications with
i'm the next month, according to
the spokesman.
i An OPS official declined to state
when the agency is likely to act
on the first request. If the appli-
cation is denied, the food firm
could then protest the present
ceilings as unreasonable and take
the matter to court.
Alternative Acceptable.
AS an alternative to applying
, the Capehart amendment, Safe
way told OPS it would be satisfied
with adjustments under another
amendment which prescribes cell
; ings assuring groups of sellers the
same profit margin they earned
before the Korean war. This, too
would mean price increases, bu
in other chains as well.
); Safeway is the only chain oper
!, ating here to ask higher ceiling
to date.
The food chains spokesman
said Safeway has been caught il
a squeeze" between rising cost
land ceilings, and that this is wha
the increases are intended II
, correct.
Increases requested already
