Abingdon Explosion
Brings Call for Law
On Boiler inspection

Alexandria officials are consid-
Fer:ng a proposed ordinance to re-
IQuire annual inspection of high
pressure steam boilers as a result
of the explosion Wednesday which
wrecked a section of the Abingdon
apartments.
Mayor Marshall,J. Beverley dis
closed he has asked Ira F.. Willard
city manager, to report on the
feasibility of such a law at the
next meeting of the city council
September 9.
He said Mr.. Willard will confer
with the city building inspector,
A. r. Lash. and Fire Marshal John
EE. Posey. If Mr.. Willard recon-
imends the law, Mr.. Beverley said,
he will ask the City Attorneys
office to prepare an ordinance.
Five Are Injured.
Five persons were injured. none
of them seriously, when a violent
Explosion wrecked six apartment
units and severely damaged nine
others. One of the injured. Mrs.
Hazel White, is still in Alexandria
Hospital, but she is recovering.
Yesterday residents of the nine
units less seriously damaged were
told by Mr.. Lash that they will not
be permitted in their apartments
until certain structural repairs are
made. "
Meanwhile. the Arrow Wreck
ing Co. of the District has begun
removing rubble and is expected
to shore up sagging walls and
floors so investigators may search
for the cause Of the blast.
Walls Are Dangerous.
Two representatives of the
State fire marshal's Office, Ralph
Ellis and Harold Glascock, were
unable to enter the boiler room,
where the blast originated, when
they were at the scene yesterday.
Mr.. Lash said investigators will
probably not be able to conduct
la thorough inquiry until Tuesday
He said sagging floors. ceilings
and walls could give way at any
time. The wrecking company will
repair these defects sufficiently
to enable investigators to search
the ruins. he said.
Mr.. Posey said a partial view
of the boiler room through twisted
lwreckage indicates that one oi
the three steel heating boilers had
ripped apart and may be the
cause Of the blast. This boiler
was heated by coal, he said. An
other Of the three was converted
from coal to oil the day before
the blast.
Mayor Beverley said he re-
quested that consideration be
given to the question of requiring
that qualified engineer be en-
|ployed by apartment developments
to supervise steam boilers.

Baltimore Auto Wreck Lineup for Stevenson
In Which Woman Died Starts in Virginia as
Termed Clever Crime Party Rejects Bolt
BY The Associated Press i.

BALTIMORE, Aug. 29. The
mysterious death of Mrs. Dorothy
Grannlner. 33-year-old mother of
three children, was not due to the
wreck of an automobile in which
her body was found. but was a
clever attempt at a perfect mur-
der" police have decided.
DR.. Russell S. Fisher. Mary
lands chief medical examiner,
said he did mot see how" the
death of the New York woman
could possibly have been a re-
suit of the accident.
States Attorney John E. Raine
jr.. of Baltimore County. said the
woman's husband, G. Edward
Grammer, a New York Office man.
ager, would be questioned "in an
attempt to develop the background
Of the case"
IF the situation warrants it,
the whole matter will be referred
to the grand jury which convenes
September g." Mr.. Raine added.
Plunge Watched by Police.
Relatives here said Mrs. Gram
mer was returning from driving
her husband to a railroad station
to catch train for New York
when she met her death on August
20. He gave her 81 at the station
to buy gasoline.
Accidental death was the natural
assumption at 1910 IN. that day
when the Grammer car careened
down q steep hill in a suburban
area northeast of the city, mar
rowly missed a cruising police car,
sideswiped a pole and ran UP an
embankment, turning over.
The officers who had witnessed
the crazy plunge of the car found
Mrs. Grammer dead inside.
The accident theory was first
questioned when closer investiga-
ton revealed a pebble jammed un-
der the heel of the accelerator,
forcing it against the floor.
Then DR.. Fisher found there
was nothing in the car capable of
inflicting the deep cuts the wom-
ans forehead showed. Blood stains
appeared to be in the wrong places
The car was not badly damaged
and no windows were broken.
There were two slight bruises
on her left hand and arm. The
medical experts said she nor
mally would have had many
bruises from being thrown around
inside the tumbling car, unless
she already were dead at the
time of the wreck. Lifeless bodies
do not bruise. -
Mrs. Grammer's glasses, which
she always wore while driving
are missing. So is her purse.
OFF Usual Route.
Some one. police reasoned, hit
Mrs. Grammer in the head from
behind and then set the car
speeding down the hill so it would
look as il she had been killed in
a wreck.
Mrs. Grammer and her hus-
band. both originally from Balti-
more. lived in New York. She
and their three daughters have
spent most of their time in recent
months, since Mrs. Grammer's IA
ther died. at her mothers home,
not far from where her car
wrecked.
She was of the route she ha-
lbitually took from the station to
her mothers home. Even if she
had taken the unusual route, she
would have arrived on the Taylor
street hill about 40 minutes
earlier.

Record Holiday
Travel Expected
Over Week End
Sightseers Due in by
Thousands as D. G.
Residents Depart

The heaviest holiday rush ever
recorded in the District is expected
for the Labor Day week end.
Thousands of Washingtonians
leaving for the seaside and noun
tain resorts will be replaced by
the annual influx of tourists visit
ing the Nations Capital.
The American Automobile As
sociation estimated an increase of
from 6 to 10 per cent over last
years rush to leave the city for
the long week end.
Most resorts within easy dis
tance are booked solid. the AAA
reports. Fayorite spots for Dis
trict residents are the seaside re-
sorts of Maryland. Delaware. Vir-
glnia and New Jersey. Crowds
also have been booked along the
Skyline drive, at Williamsburg, in
the Poconos and New York and
New England.
More Railroad Space.
Railroad officials said extra
cars will be added to scheduled
trains leaving Washington and
extra sections put on routes to
Chicago, st. Louis and New York.
They said, however. rail travel is
not expected to exceed that Of
previous years.
The rush to board trains was
expected to begin early this AFTER
noon, with the peak of travel be-
tween 4 and 10 pm. today.
Hotels are fast filling with week.
end sightseers since most of the
Labor Day visitors do not obtain
reservations in advance, the Dis
tlict Hotel Association said, there
is no way of knowing how many
will stop here.
The AAA said motor courts in
and around Washington are
booked solid.
TieupS Possible.
No tieup is expected on the new
Chesapeake Bay Bridge, but the
AAA warned of a possible bottle
neck on routes through Annapolis.
Louis j. O'Donnell, administra-
tor for Maryland toll bridges, said
tieup in Annapolis is quite prob
able.
Meanwhile, downtown stores 60
ioff summer schedules this week
and will be open tomorrow.
The District Public Library an
nounced the Central Branch.
Eighth and K streets NV. will
be open from 9 am. to 8 pm. on
4 Labor Day. All other branches will
, be closed on the holiday.
The AAA reminded motorists
not to try to 60 too far or too fast.
Speeders Face Penalties.
"That way, you'll get homo
safely and be relaxed and ready
for work Tuesday morning." they
counseled.
The District Vehicles and
Traffic Department joined the
AAA in holiday warnings to
motorists. pointing out Washing
toms holiday weekend toll has
been increasing. Traffic accidents
over the Labor Day week end in
1949 totaled 174. There was q
slight drop in 1850 but the figure
jumped to 206 last year. Almost
100 persons were injured last year.
In an effort to cut the number
of holiday deaths, the Maryland
Department of Motor Vehicles an
nounced that Maryland motorists
convicted of speeding in the State
over the week end automatically
will lose their driving permits for
Is days.
The warning does not apply to
out Of State motorists, according
to Commissioner Thomas B. r.
Mudd, but those convicted of do
ing more than 10 miles per hour
will be reported to their home
States in the hope authorities
there can take some action.

Truman Budget Costly
To State TGrGbLeS
(cOntinutd from first ..age)

The u. S. Treasury Department
Reports show that Delaware resi-
dents and taxpayers last year paid
1.12 per cent of the total Federal
tax burden. Since Federal expendi-
lures are met wholly by taxation,
Delaware's share of the Federal
Governments spending burden for
the Federal fiscal year 1928 will
be l.12 per cent of $S5, 10000, 900,
or $956,972,8OO, the State Chamber
said.
The Delaware State Chamber
said. Although the Presidents
budget message calls for a total
expenditure of $S5, 400, 100000 next
year, it expects the Federal Gov
ernment will collect 100000
900 in taxes and other revenue
This means that a budget deficit OF
almost 5.000.000,000 will be in
CURED.
This Is billion-dollar deficit
alone is more than the total
amount of taxes collected in the
48 states last year for the support
of all the state. county, and muni-
cipal governments in the nation
combined"
Citing the danger of the deficit
as factor in imitation. the State
Chamber said.
1T is within the power of Con-
gress and the President to reduce
or wipe out this threatened deficit
either by increasing taxes or by
cutting expenditures. But with
three new tax increases since the
Korean War the American people
are already being taxed to the
point of diminishing returns. The
only course left open is reduction
Of the Presidents spending pro-
gram.
'The Presidents budget is fairly
bursting at the seams with the
tiabby fat of many appropriations
which hide excessive and wasteful
bureaucratic spending practices 1t
will be up to Congress to apply
the axe to these blOated spending
requests, including the proposal to
spend a recOrd-breaking II billion
dollars on foreign programs"
The Delaware State Chamber
added that the budget calls upon
Congress to approve many new
domestic spending programs Many
of. these programs would require
the creation of new bureaus to ad-
minister them.
