District Accepts Offer
OF Citizens 10 Set Up
Play Area in Home

The Commissioners have ac-
cepted an offer by a, group OF
citizens to raise $4,000 to $4,000
for renovating a barn on the
Industrial Home School Annex
grounds as<an indoor play area
The proposal was made to Wei
fare Director Gerald M. Shea by
Mrs. George C. Pendleton. 1904
Whitehaven parkway NV.
She said she and group OF
friends have been going to the
annex, 5000 Loughboro road NV,
once week for handicraft and
game sessions with the children,
under the direction of Mrs. Emily
Hoge, director of volunteer activi-
ties.
She told Mr.. Shea the group
wants to launch a drive among
persons interested to raise money
for renovation of the barn for
indoor play space.
Mr.. Shea Endorsed the proposal,
pointing out the physical facili-
ties of the institution are made
quate and do not provide enough
space for an indoor recreation
program.
The city heads approved the
project with the provision that, if
sufficient funds for the renova-
ton are not raised, the money be
used for some recreational pur-
pose at the annex.

.DoIIar-Cent CeiIinq
On Meals Due Soon,
Restaurant Men Told

District restaurants soon will
have dollar-and-cents ceiling
price regulation, which will require
them to post their prices for the
public to see.
| This was revealed last night by
August H. Dressed, acting chief of
the Restaurant Branch of the Ma
tional Office of Price Sterilization.
He addressed the Washington Res
taurant Association Institute, in
the Washington Gas Light Co.
auditorium.
Notes Cooperation.
Mr.. Dressed complimented the
restaurant men for their co-opera-
ton and their efforts to hold the
line in prices. He explained further
the difficulties arising in writing
regulation for 100000 eStab-
lishments throughout the country
that do a $12 billion business an
nually. He said 80 per cent of
O4CoC PloSCo arc Individually
owned.
He explained that, from the
outbreak of the Korean war to
the freeze date last January.
food prices had jumped 1914 per
cent. However, since the freeze
date they have increased only
about 212 per cent, he said.
Mr.. Dressed, in speaking of the
proposed regulation, declared that
many food items bought by res
taurants and housewives are not,
and cannot be put. under price
control.
Regulation Being Drafted.
He did not say exactly when
the ceiling price regulations for
restaurants will go into effect,
but he indicated it will be soon.
The regulation is definitely being
prepared, but there still are few
bugs" to be cleared up, he said.
About $500 restaurants in the
Greater Washington area will be
affected by the regulation, John
S. Cockrell, secretary of the Wash
lngton Restaurant Association, dis
closed. He said these restaurants
serve about million food orders
daily.
This afternoon winds up the
formal part of the four-day insti-
tute. George Wenzel of Austin
Tex, will conclude the program
with a talk on Developing the
Restaurant Personality"

Couple, Drug Addicts,
jailed for Creatinu
Common Nuisance

A housepainter and his wife
both addicted to drugs, today
were serving $50 days in jail for
creating common nuisance" by
using drugs in their dwelling
room.
When Judge Thomas D. Quinn
announced the guilty verdict in
Municipal Court yesterday, il
marked the first time in years
that this provision of the District
Code had been successfully in
voked.
The two shaky defendants con-
victed in the case were Mr.. and
Mrs. Herbert D. Waters, who had
been only one month in the room
IN which they were arrested in the
1900 block of Pennsylvania ave-
nue. NV.
Unable To Raise Voice.
Mrs. Waters, 43. was in such
bad shape when she took the
stand that Judge Quinn ad-
monished to raise her voice.
I'm so sick, your honor" she
replied. I'm doing the best I
can"
She went on to explain she has
been married before but never
got a divorce, that she has been
living with her present husband.
under common-law relationship,
for four years. She added she has
three daughters.
She acknowledged a prostitu-
ton record dating back to 1947
and said she has been using
drugs for six years.
Like her present husband, who
gave his age as %, she denied she
has ever sold or administered
drugs to anyone.
Taking Own Medicine
The man, however, declared
my wife and I admit we're ad-
diets"
1--WE were taking our own medi-
cine, and we were ashamed for
anyone else to see it," he said.
Detectives Joseph Gabrys, Guy
w. Holcomb and Seymour Raboy
had testified they saw the couple
applying tourniquets to each
other in their room. On serving
their arrest warrant, they found
hypodermic needles and a packet
of heroin there.

| Montgomery Council
Sets New Hearinq on
Cemetery for Oct. 3

A second hearing will be held on
October 9 on hotly disputed zon-
ing application to put new ceme-
terry on the Wilkins estate at Mont
rose, between the Rockville pike
and Viers Mill road. in suburban
Montgomery County.
The County Council yesterday
granted the new hearing, TO be
held at $50 pm. in Rockville, after
receiving petition signed by some
l $50 persons, who said they op-
posed the proposed cemetery.
The petition also objected to a
Izoning law amendment. adopted
by the council last week. which
permits cemeteries in residential
zones. if certain requirements are
met. The council. however, de-
clined to rescind its decision, and
the amendment stands.
The amendment had been asked
in separate petition by the same
group proposing to build the new
cemetery - North Washington
Cemetery. Inc. of 1905 Bonifant
street, Silver Spring.
Councilman George Nesbitt told
a reporter it is his feeling that
many of the petition signers were
"stampeded."
Council President j. Louis Mon
arch said the new amendment is
in no way IAN automatic approval
of any cemetery site"
Attorney James R. Miller. who
presented the petition, along with
35 signers, emphasized to the
council the feeling of the resi-
dents that they had not been ade-
quately forewarned of the ceme-
terry applications.
One of the cemetery opponents,
Raleigh M. Dawson, of Clio Tilden
lane, Bethesda, president of the
Lux Manor Citizens Association,
said he had not seen any rezoning
signs around the site of the pro-
posed cemetery.
Council members replied that
signs are posted and adjacent
property owners are notified by
mail on all rezoning applications,
but neither of the cemetery groups
applications involved a question of
rezoning.
States Attorney Walter w.
Dawson has been representing the
cemetery, assisted by Assistant
States Attorney j. Hodge Smith
and Mr.. Smiths law partner.
Thomas C. Kelley.
On the groups applications.
Samuel L. Gum, 804 Thayer ave-
nue., Silver Spring, is listed as
president.
George j. Moss, Silver Spring
developer. said he is an officer of
the group.
During the hearings Walter
Dawson said the proposed ceme-
terry would be located in tie mid
die 80 acres of the 409-acre Will
kins estate. I
The cemetery would be of the
monument park type, according
to Mr.. Dawson.
In majority opinion released
yesterday the Council stated it's
belief that provision must be made
for cemeteries in the regional dis
trict to serve the requirements"
Of suburban Montgomery County
residents.
In a dissenting opinion, Mrs.
Stella Werner objected to the

peals handle special exceptions inI
Residential A zones and because
it lacks safeguards.

She expressed the view that il
is only matter of time before the
stricly wholesale fish dealer will
have to give way to quantity pro-
ducers who ship directly unless ar
organization is set up in Washing
ton similar to those in other cities
to protect the wholesaler. The
latter possibility she described as
remote.
Mr.. Kennedy said Carter-Lan-
hart leases three stores on the
street floor for restaurant purposes
and a large second-f1oor for an
office and a wholesale fish bust
ness.

No Poyoffs on D. C.. Dope, Barrett Says

SO he puts five drops of nitric
acid on the suspected morphine,
and if it's the real stuff it turns
red. The same acid will turn
heroin to a bright green and
then a weak yellow. Warm
breath on a $3.50 cocaine and
acid combination will test for
cocaine. 1t turns gray.
Mariiuana usually comes in
the form of cigarettes. They're
a bit thinner than the usual
cigarette and often a little
longer, selling from Is cents
to $1.25 each. Morphine, he
pointed out, will be found in
capsules or in decks - small
amounts packed in white paper.
Larger amounts are passed in
cellophane bags. Cocaine is also
sold in capsules or in tiny
bottles.
Uniform Law Helps.
One of the greatest assets to
law enforcement agencies here
is the Uniform Narcotics Drug
Act. That covers the transfer,
use and possession of drugs. To
carry drugs on your person, it
is necessary to have it in the
original container with the di-
rections on it and the prescrip-
tion number. Many a person
has been arrested and convicted
because his container bore a
false name.
The Harrison Narcotics Act
and the Narcotics Import-Ex-
port Act are also important. The
first is a tax measure. The sec
ond is important because of
clause which gives the President
power to issue a proclamation
bringing any habit forming
drug under its provisions.
Heroin. no longer legally
manufactured in the United
States, but which is one of the
most popular drugs among
addicts. comes under it. So do
the opium derivitives and
cocaine. The President has also
brought three synthetics under
its provisions, too-dolophine,
odanon and demoral.

No Protection to Pay.
"It has been said that mar

major declared. That is true.
It worried me for while. A
capsule of almost anything is
81 to 50 cheaper here.
MY answer is that there are
no payoffs in the District, and
the peddlers are given light SEN
tences by our courts. They can
afford to sell it cheaper here
because they don't have to pay
for protection.
They sure don't grow it

ber 1S was presented to the coun-
ell in a report from Fire Marshal
Charles H. Howe.
Pointing out that the definite
cause" probably never will be de-
termined, Mr.. Howe said that to-
batco was used by all three of the
old men who occupied Room / in
the north annex of the home,
where the fire started in a clothes
closet.
Furthermcre, the report stated,
the patterns in Room were
known to rummage in the closet,
one had a habit of saving cigar
butts in his pockets, and none of
the three could be considered re-
SponSible because of their ad-
vanced age.
Mr.. Howe's report said that
when the fire departments ar
rived on the scene all but four of
the homes so patients had been
taken from the building. Only
one Of those four was rescued by
flremen, the report added; the
other three were carried out dead.
