fore police release a report on their
investigation Of how William
Roland White, 17-year-old con-
fessed slayer, was permitted to

hours after another assault two
months ago.
Police Supt Robert v. Murray

day except for interviews with two
members of the Police Juvenile
Squad.
They are off duty and not avail
able for interrogation, Maj. Muir
ray said.
White, now charged with the
murder of Ralph T. Blake, Ma
Irine Corps clerk, was permitted
to leave the Receiving Home June
4, following a mysterious tele-
phone call.
The youth had been taken there
only seven hours before. charged
with aSSaulting and robbing an
Andrews Air Force Base sergeant.
The assault was so vicious that it
left a tooth imbedded in White S
hand.
The Receiving Home explana-
tion for Whites release was that
a Juvenile Squad policeman tele-
phoned, asking that the boy be
released in custody of his sister
Juvenile Squad members have
denied making such a call. White
has said he telephoned his sister
himself, asking her to come for
him.
After White confessed the slay-
ing of Mr.. Blake, Maj. Murray
|ordered a complete investigation
to determine why he was allowed
to leave the institution without

In discussing what has hap
pened to the old White House fur

Il have been told, though I have
no documents to prove it, that
one of the Presidents cleaned out
the attic of the White House and
had an auction on the Pennsyl-
vania avenue side and scattered
many wonderful antique pieces
from one end of the country to
the other, and they can't be

He also referred to the chan
deliers in the East room. All three
of the original ones, he added,
are at the Capitol-one in the Of
flee of the Secretary of the Senate,
one in the House Ways and Means
Committee room and one in a
Senate Office Building room. The
President said he had tried to get
these back and have them put
where they were before Teddy

away. He added:
II had the three monstrosities
that replaced the beautiful chan
deliers remodeled, and they do not

He also revealed that he and
the White House staff have been

the Presidents have been obtained,
but Mr.. Truman said none of
Monroe's chinaware and some
very fine decanter and, glasses tc

The President emphasized:
There is one thing certain

Man Shot in Shoulder
BY Woman Durinq
.Spat in Restaurant

A 26-year-old man was shot in
the shoulder by his girl friend
last night as they sat in the Band
Box Restaurant, TAT Eighth street
Sc, discussing their future.
Police said the man, J. Houston
Vaughn of 1905 E street Sc, was
in good condition at Gallinger
Hospital.
Mrs. Noreen Ellington Jeffrey,
20, of Raleigh. N. c., pleaded not
guilty to a charge OF assault with
intent to kill when arraigned in
Municipal Court today. Her case
was continued until September 4.
Bond was set at $1,000.
Pvt. Charles B. Chase of the
fifth precinct, who arrested her,
said Mrs. Jeffrey calmly related
that she came to Washington
|early this week, armed with the
pistol and determined to shoot
Mr.. Vaughn because he would
not marry me- She has been
living at 902 Sixth street NV.
Married to Sailor.
At first she insisted she was
single, but later admitted she is
married to a sailor when allot-
ment checks were found in her
purse, Pvt. Chase said. Mrs.
Jeffrey said she had lived with
Mr.. Vaughn in Washington in
July. After she YVES taken to the
station house she asked to make
"a telephone call.
Il have just shot Houston" !"
she said into the receiver, land
I hope he dies"
Pvt. Chase said Mrs. Jeffrey
told him she had telephoned the
injured mans sister.
Mother of a 2-year-old boy.
Mrs. Jeffrey was fearful when
reporters talked to her at court.
Asked why she shot Mr.. Vaughn,
she sobbed:
Il was mad at him I guess"
She said she had not planned
to kill him.
Met in Restaurant.
1t. John K. Baker of the police
homicide squad said Mr.. Vaughn
had been in the restaurant eating
and drinking for some time before
Mrs. Jeffrey came in around
HAS pm.
In her purse was a .32-caliber
revolver, 1t. Baker, related. -
She asked Mr.. Vaughn if he was
going to leave her again, accord
ing to 1t. Baker.
Apparently Mr.. Vaughn's an
sWer was not satisfactory, for the
girl put her hand in the purse and
shot through it, without taking the
revolver out. 1t. Baker said.
The stunned restaurant patrons
grabbed her as Mr.. Vaughn fell
back clutching his bleeding
shoulder.

formal charter-today scheduled
Ia meeting for Sunday noon but
probably will delay completion of
its organization.
One reason for a brief delay in
perfecting the clubs setup, some
members said, would be to see how
it would line up with the Volun-
teers-for-S Stevenson, new ma
Itional organization backing the
Democratic presidential candi-
date.
The Sunday meeting of the Dis
trict Club was announced by Com
missioner F.. Joseph Donohue, who
heads the StevenSon-Sparkman

Sunday Meeting Topics.
j. c. Turner, head of the Nomi-
mating Committee for the District
club, said the Sunday meeting
probably would be devoted pri-
marily to plans for pushing two
campaigns: One for funds and one
for expanding the membership.
He said he did not think his
group would be ready by Sunday
Ito recommend completion of the
clubs organization. He said the
group wants to enlist more of the
independents and that
some Of these leaders still were
out of town.
While the District club, like
IotherS, has not yet received any
official charter, Mr.. Turner said
he felt it had recognition
through contacts with the Steven
son organization at Springfield
Ill. He said he believed a formal
charter would come along later.
So far the District club has only
two officers, President Donohue
and Milton S. Kronheim, Sr.
treasurer. Miss Esther Lipson is
serving as secretary. Mr.. Turner
said he felt sure his group would
confirm the selection of Mr.. Don
ohue and Mr.. Kronheim.
National Groups Head.
The National Volunteers for
Stevenson, announced from Chi
cago yesterday. is headed by Her.
mon Dunlop Smith. an insurance
executive. In 1948 he headed an
organization backing Mr.. Steven
son for Governor of Illinois.
Meanwhile Gerhard P. van Arkel

Police Persistence
Results in Capture

A jewel thief who got Sd rings
in a daring daylight job Monday
afternoon from the Schwartz
jewelry store was captured early
today in his home.
The two policemen who have
been hunting him doggedly iden-
titled him as Charles Louis john
son, %. colored, of the 400 block
of Q street NV. They SAID he
admitted the theft and charged
him with grand larceny.
After further investigation
johnson also was charged with
the theft of 16 rings valued at
$502 on July 81 from the Franc
Jewelry Co., 627 Seventh street
NV, in a similar robbery.
The pair whose persistence paid
off are Thomas E. Williams, a pre-
cinct detective, and Pvt. Sebrone
j. King, jr., both of the 18th
precinct.
Capt. Otto P. Fuss, their pre-
cinct commander, said the two

Fifty OF the rings were found in
JohnSon'S house. Four he sold
Were also recovered, police said.
Capt. Fuss said johnson told
police he took a shot of dope be-
fore going to the jewelry store.
The captain said Johnson denied
he was drug addict, but doped
himself this time to brace his
courage.
Police said Johnson told them
he stole the rings so he could sell
them and buy a home for his wife
and four children.
The four he managed to sell
went at bargain rates. Their re-
tail value totaled $1,364, accord
ing to the officers, but johnson
peddled them for a total of SITS.
Asked to See Rings.
The jewelry store clerks said
the man came into the store and
asked to see some rings. He said
his wife was meeting him in a
few minutes.
A clerk showed him a tray of
rings and then replaced them in
drawer behind the counter. The
clerk was called away, and an
other clerk said the "customer'
leaned over the counter, sudden

the store. The employees hur-
rledly checked the drawer and

Pvt. King was detailed to plain
clothes duty to help Detective
Williams on the case.
Tried to Sell to Passersby.
They found out a man was try-
ing to sell rings to passersby on
U street the night after the theft.
His description matched the one
the store employees furnished.
Last night the two officers dis
covered that the sidewalk vendor
had nickname, Carlos" Their
hours of interviews had given them
detailed description of this
Carlos and everything checked
with what they knew of johnson,
who has a police record. He has
served q months in prison for

morning, they found, along with
the stolen rings, two tape recorders

Here comes winter and readers OF
this department are anticipating
it with letters that can make a
Southerner smile.
But j. A. j. of Oshkosh, Wis.
writes about a problem that brings
up a subject of winter timelineSs
in southern regions as well as in
the North.
He is worried about snow and
ice on the roof. And the most
practical gadget he can use lends
itself to speeding gorgeous flowers
in hotbeds in the South, or any
other place for that matter.
This is an electric heating coil
available at most electric supply
shops or well-stocked hardware
stores.
j. A. j. says: 1--WE have been liv-
ing in our new home for two years
and during each Of the past two
winters we have been troubled
with heavy coating of ice form
ing in and above the caves troughs.
On mild days the water melting
under the ice seems to back up
under the shingles and leak
through the roof boards. .
by keeping the roof clear of
snow and chipping channels in
the ice, through which the water
may escape, I have been able to
prevent any serious damage to
the inside of the house. However,
Evening star., 1952-11-08

I am still looking for permanent
solution to the problem and for
relief from the disagreeable task
of having to pull the snow off the
roof after every snow storm"
This is a very common problem
in the North. Whenever icicles
form at the caves you can almost
always find an ice dam formed
along the edge of the roof. This
is because water from snow melt
ing on the warmer part of the
roof above the house. freezes again
when it reaches the colder over
hang of the caves. More water
backs up behind this ice dam
and seeps under shingles, leaking
through to stain plaster and spoil
wallpaper.
Electric heating cable laid in
Ia zig-zag pattern along the caves
will melt this ice, forming chan
nels through which water can
drain off. It works on the same
principle as an electric blanket OF
any aother electric heating unit,
being of hairpin shape no matter
how long. Therefore, you can't
cut it.
However, heating cable sets can
be obtained in 15-foot, 30-foot
and 60-foot lengths with ends
fitted into weather-proof electric
plugs. You can plug the Is and

feet Of heating cable in hairpin
style, calls for 220 volts, the COM
mon electric range current.
You can compare the cost of
operation with that for electric
lights on this basis; a 15-foot
hairpin of 80 feet of heating cable
is rated at 180 watts. The 3O-foot
hairpin is rated at 400 watts;
60-foot hairpin at 800 watts. In
other words, to keep go feet of
cable warm should require about
the same current needed to keep
eight 100-watt lights burning.
These heating cables can be laid
in the soil of hot beds and con-
nected with thermostats to main
tain constant growing tempera-
lures. Or you can use them for
thawing frozen water pipes or to
keep pipes from freezing.
The cables would work encased
in concrete, asphalt or black top
to melt snow from sidewalks or
driveways, but such uses may
prove prohibitively expensive due
to the cost of installation and op-

He said the theory OF operation
was to solicit enough campaign
contributions during one talkathon
to pay for the next, and it had
worked. Oldham reported his 2.hour
broadcast over a. stations which
covered the state last Saturday
night cost S., 900, but had produced
more than $1,000 in contributions.
His earlier 24-hour talkathons
cost from $500 to $500 each,
depending on the locality and the
cost Of radio time, he said.
Altogether, he was on the radio
for more than six hours Wednes-
day, broadcasting from Fort
Pierce, Belle Glade and West Palm
Beach. II was his first appearance
In the Indian River section which
is McCarty's home.
Oldham said his radio talks are
sincere expressions Of his convic-
tons. He said he had power res
pect for dignity, but II 1t came

integrity In presenting his case he
would prefer the integrity.
The 32-year old Sanford oil deal

Carty's supporters have become
confused by the success of his
campaign and are desperately
spreading rumors and twisting the
facts.
He said McCarty workers had
been knocking on doors and ask

effort to match the grass roots
support he Is getting from his
radio solicitations Of what he calls
dollars for decency."
Time after time, he mentioned
McCarty's report that he spent

he can show McCarty spent far
more than that and will raise the
question when the two meet on a
