FPC Examiner 0kays
Rockville Gas Plant
BY the Associated Press

A power commission examiner
ruled today that Washington Gas
Light Co. should be authorized tc
build and operate a standby gas
storage plant near Rockville, Md
Examiner Samuel w. Jensen
filed the decision, which will be-
come a commission order unless
a review is started within 80 days
The authorization was condi-
toned on requirement that the
company use the facilities when
ever they can be useful, including
peak shaving to reduce the cost
of gas purchased from Atlantic
Seaboard Corp.
Washington Gas Light proposed
to use the plant to provide gas
only if a break occurred in the
pipeline Of Seaboard, its supplier.
Mr.. Jensen said there had been
only six occasions in 20 years
when a break of Seaboard's sys-
tenn would have brought the plant
in operation.
Last August the commission
granted the company temporary
authority to start building the
plant.

ing to divert about half the serv-

water. Capital Transit president,
Mr.. Gore declared:
! believe that your manage
merlt has given the people of the
District a more secure transpor-
tation system from the stand
point of financial responsibility.
II also believe that zeal for
management efficiency has OBJ
scured the vision of your Board of
Directors to some important fac
tors that must be recognized by
any company in the public serv-
ice."

Howard University student, was
brought here from Chicago today

raigned before United States

afternoon.
Shortly after arrival in custody
of Police 1t. Lawrence w. Hart
nett, Tyler was quoted by police
as saying he robbed the girl,
Janet Ellen King. 10. Of $22 before
he bumper her body from cal

street NE.
1t. Hartnett. who few to Chi
cago after Tyler surrendered there
Wednesday. said the student told
him he needed the money to gel
to his fathers home in Chicago
after he realized Miss King was
dead. Tyler maintains the slay.
ing was accidental despite a cor
oner's report that the girl had
been raped. choked and shot
three times.
Used Pharmacists Car.
Police quoted Tyler as telling
the following story:
He picked up Miss King, q
freshman pharmacy student from
North Carolina, whom he had
known since October, about / pm
Monday and drove her to the Mu-
nicipal Center, where she got a
learners driving permit. Tyler
used car belonging to Raymond
Elliott, a pharmacist, of 1876
Maryland avenue NE.
They drove around for a couple
of hours, 1t. Hartnett said, and
then went to Mr.. Elliott's apart
ment. Tyler declared he had zone
beer and two shots" there. He told
the lieutenant he had been init
mate with her there. They left the
apartment and drove to a spot
about block and a half from
where Miss Kings body was
found.
There, Tyler told 1t. Hartnett
they took an automatic pistol
from the glove compartment and
it accidently went off. Tyler de-
nies knowledge of the other two
shots.
Mr.. Hartnett said Tyler then
admitted taking $22 from her
purse because he was running low

avenue NV. and left it near the

tually. 1t. Hartnett said, the bus

fore a subcommittee OF the House
Expenditures Committee headed
by Representative Bonner, Demo-
Icrat, of North Carolina. The group
is resuming hearings on military
buying started during the last
session. =
Mr.. Bonner said the main pur-
pose OF today's session is to de-
Itermine whether military authori-
ties had adopted economy meas
ures recommended during the
subcommittee hearings last
summer.
Mr.. Bonner said he had heard
reports the Air Force was prepar-
ing to set up its own independent
supply system and to run such
separate services as an engineering
corps.
"The understanding last year
when (defense) Secretary Lovett
testified before u.s." he said, was
that the Air Force would go into
these fields only in a limited way.
They did all right in the last war
under Army and Navy supply sys-

Witnesses listed included Archi-
bald S. Alexander, Undersecretary

JESCA's Executive
Director Returns

Miss Olive B. Alexander, ex-
ecutive director of the James E.
Scott Community Association, has
returned to the Cit and resumed
duties after two week workshop
session at Lincoln University, Pa
The workshop was sponsored
by the National Federation of
Settlement and Neighborhood
Centers and geared for Admins
traitors and top program people
in Neighborhood-c agen-
cieS.
The purpose was three-fold in
scope of services:
/. To explore what experience
has shown to be the best practices
in neighborhood centers in rela-
tion to program administration,
and community relations and &C
ton.
2. To stimulate more analysis of
function in each neighborhood
center and of its relation to other
agencies, other settlements, city,
nation and world.
3. To develop a. greater sense Of
comraderie among the workers
and of relationship to the total
settlement movement.
Some of the subjects covered
were: Settlement Philosophy, pur-
poses and function, neighborhood
responsibility for improving
human relations, inter-cultural
relations, why settlements are
concerned with living conditions
and public housing and slum
clearance.
In connection with housing, a
field trip was made to the
Friends Neighborhood Guild Re-
development Project, Philadel-
phia.
Miss Alexander feels that the
workshop was most educational
and stimulating and that infor-
nation gained will be beneficial
to both members of the agency
and the community at large.
