man threw himself onto the stool
beside her.
"McKeldin is my name," he said,
How are you? How'd you like a
picture of the Governor?"
Before the nonplussed target OF
such an assault could reply, the
Governor scribbled his autograph
with a ball point pen on a post
card photograph that must have
been made is years ago.
THANK you very much," he
would invariably say as he forced
his picture into the hands Of q
confused victim.
Sometimes he forgot to say that
he was the Governor. Then the
confusion was compounded.
On the Midway, he walked over
Ito a game of skill where five discs
are supposed to cover a painted
circle. An attractive girl behind
the counter took his photograph
and his IS cents for the game.
Come on up folks" she barked.

lof L street NV. last night, search
lighted the area and moved in to
capture a 21-year-old gunman
after he had battled two detec-
tives in an alley gun duel.
George Bernard Phelps, who
had threatened to shoot the first
policeman he saw, surrendered
meekly when officers battered
down a door to a room where he
took refuge.
They said Phelps threatened
two families during his flight
latter the gun battle as he sought
Ia place to hide.
Seventy-f1ve police, armed with
riot guns. tear gas and search
lights, converged on the neighbor-
hood when Pvts. Malcolm L. Lueb-
kert and Randolph L. Dunn
Iradioed for aid after trading shots
with Phelps in Blagden's court
NV
Sought in Holdup Link.
Phelps had been sought for
questioning following the arrest of
his brother. Stanley %. In connec-
ton with a $1,000 holdup of al
Safeway store last August.
Phelps was held under $5O,0OOI
bond by United States Commis-l
Sioner Cyril S. Lawrence today

robbery charge in connection with
the Safeway holdup, and $15,0G0l
each on two charges of assault toI
kill a police officer. AnotherI
charge of carrying deadly wear-I
on will be presented directly to
the grand jury, police said.
Pvts. Leubkert and Dunn were
on Tenth street near M
last night when they spotted
Phelps. They did not recognize
Phelps as a fugitive. but decided
to question him because he was
a suspicious-looking
package.
They backed up the cruiser and
as they did so. Phelps broke into a
run. The policemen leaped from
their cruiser and chased him into
Blagden's court. an alley between
L and M streets NV.
Firing Begins.
Pvt. Leubkert said Phelps raised
himself from behind an object
about z feet away-and blasted at
the policeman with his shotgun.
Pvt. Leubkert fired two shots in
return.
Phelps dashed further into the
alley, wheeled and fired again,
this time at Pvt. Dunn. Pvt. Dunn
returned one shot. None were ef-
fective.
The privates returned to their
cruiser and called for help.
William Sullivan, 20, of 923 Il
street NV, said he was sitting
at a desk filing. out an application
for job when he heard a click.
"I looked up and saw a man
Phelps) with a sawed-off shot
gun. He said Hide me, hide me.
I've been shot"
With Mr.. Sullivan were his
Mrs. William Sullivan,
and his sister, Mrs. Ruth Thomas,
209 Randolph place NE.
Mr.. Sullivan said he told Phelps,
II can't hide you."
That's the Cops
Phelps cooked the shotgun when
he heard a door slam somewhere
in the apartment. Footsteps
passed the door.
That's just a woman" Phelps
remarked.
A short time later, a commotion
was heard outside. and Phelps
said, That's the cops"
He and MIR. Sullivan went down
the back steps and into the back
yard. Mr.. Sullivan said he pointed
to storage shed and told Phelps,
That's a good place to hide"
Then Mr.. Sullivan returned to
his apartment and called police.
Apparently Phelps decided against
the storage shed as a hiding place.

Economy May Spur
Shift Of Two Schools
To Cut Construction
By lanes G. Deone

Efforts to economize on District
school construction may spur the
transfer Of two more white grade
schools to Negroes.
The Commissioners yesterday
were advised by a special commit
tee to transfer two schools instead
of building one proposed new one
and one addition. It was learned
that school oficials are consider
ing three white schools in this
connection.
The three are Blair, at I street
near Sixth NE; Petworth, at
Eighth and Shepherd streets NV,
and Raymond, Tenth street and
Spring road NV.
Blair appears the only possibility
in one case. Either Petworth or
Raymond would serve in the sec
ond, and officials haven't decided
which to switch.
Meeting Slated Soon.
These and other transfer posi-
bilities will be discussed by the
Board of Education soon. Board
President c. Melvin Sharpe said
yesterday he will call a special
meeting soon to consider the
school construction program and
the new proposals made to the
Commissioners.
In addition Supt. Hobart M.
Corning is expected to make
specific recommendations soon on
several major schools including
Mckinley, Western and Armstrong
High Schools and the teacher COL
leges.
Discussion Of Blair, Raymond
and Petworth was confidential
until yesterday. but school officials
have had them in mind for some
time.
Transfer of Blair would SUBJ
stitute for a proposed 81 million
addition to the colored Hayes
School, Fifth and K streets NE.
Transfer of either Petworth or
Raymond would substitute for a
proposed $1,060. 900 Negro school
near Otis street and Georgia ave-
nue. NV.
The Otis street project is listed
in the third year Of the new six
year school construction program.
The Hayes addition is listed for
the fourth year. On this basis,
neither transfer would occur for
some time yet.
Below Pupil Capacity.
Blair, at last count. had 221
pupils. compared to 288 capacity.
Petworth, with 576 capacity. had
only 219. Raymond, with 648
had 29S.
White schools already have
been transferred in both neigh
borhoods. In the Blair section
eight grade schools have been
switched to Negro pupils in the
last five years. Park View. near
Petworth, was transferred three
years ago.
The advisory committee said
shifting population in the Pet
th-Raymond area makes an
other transfer advisable.
