Youth, Blamed in 80
DC. Crimes, Is sPuton
Probation for Theft

A 20-year-old youth, to whom
police attributed more than 80
housebreakings and larcenies, to-
day received a suspended SEN
tence of from one to three years
and was placed on probation for
three years on a single case-the
only one on which he was in
dicted.
He is Elmer r. Drew, of the
1900 block of Sheridan street
NV. who pleaded guilty to the
single case last month.
Drew had confessed to break
ing into the Remedial Education
Center, 1900 block of New Hamp-
shire avenue NV, last Novem-
ber and stealing equipment worth
more than $1.100. Items taken
included typewriters, fans. a die
tation machine and picture pro-
jectors.
The sentence was given by
Judge Edward M. Curran. of the
U. S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia. The court was
informed that practically all of
the property in the case has been
recovered and that Drew CO.
operated with police.
The maximum possible penalty
Drew could have received was
eight years and four months to
IS years.
Drew was out on bond on a
robbery charge at the time of
the housebreaking and larceny.
Last month a jury acquitted him
of that robbery count.
The court was informed that
in 1851 Drew was convicted of
taking an automobile without
right and sentenced to pay a $50
fine or serve 30 days in jail. The
court also was told that in the
same year Drew was given so
days for unlawful entry and
petty larceny.

Reds War for Malaga Ebbinq,
British Police Organizer Saws

The much-touted war in
Malaya-the end of which was
one of President Eisenhower's
major prerequisites for peace
really is not much of a problem
in the opinion of the man who
organized the Malayan national
police.
He is Col. Arthur Young, a
former assistant commissioner of
Scotland Yard who until recently
was the No. 2 man to Gen. Sir
Gerald Templer. British High
Commissioner in Malaga.
Col. Young. in Washington on
a four-day visit, said yesterday
that the Communist menace in
the Southeast Asia nation is
abating every day, and that it is
only a matter of time before a
free world victory is cinched.
Battle for Minds.
Unlike the Korean and Indo-
Chinese conflicts, Col. Young
said. the war in Malaga is not
an action of one large military
unit against another. Rather, he
characterized it as a battle for
the hearts and minds of men,"
On one side are an estimated
5000 Communist led guerrillas
headed by a Chinese. Chang
Peng. and hard core of perhaps
so trained Marxists. On the
other are $4,000 native police,
5000 Malayan soldiers and 49,
900 British imperial forces.
The war. Col. Young said, is a
police action in the real mean
ing of the term. He declared the
guerrilla forces have engaged in
all manner of outrages against

ture in most instances, are
coming through for pretty large
sums of money. The Depart
ment of Commerce has no way
of evaluating the necessity for
these contracts since we are
merely doing the work requested
by the Department of Defense.
Il bring this to your attention
in case you wish to delegate
some one to check these ex-
penditures and, perhaps, suggest
an examination and even a re-
evaluation of the research pro-
grams of the Department of
Defense"
After receiving this letter. Sec
retary Wilson asked Chairman
Walter c. Whitman of the Re-
search and Development Board
the Pentagon's chief research
co-ordinator to evaluate the
Governments fuse program.
Held Uniquely Qualified.
On April 3, DR.. Whitman
wrote Secretary Wilson:
THE bureau is uniquely quail
fled in this field and is perform
ing a most important function
for the Department Of Defense.
We are distinctly concerned over
the possible deterioration of its
competence if its key personnel
leave now due to the loss of its
director.
AT the present time there is
no other group in existence with
the necessary team experience
and diversity of skills which are
required to manage proximity
fuse developments for guided
missiles, rockets, mortars and
bombs"
Order Issued Next Day.
The Pentagon order came on
the following day.
The Bureau of Standards has
been doing about $35 million
worth of work a year for the
Pentagon. mostly on atomic en-
ergy and such highly-technical
ordnance projects as proximity
fuses. especially for guided mis-
slleS now being developed.
While the Pentagon order does
not stop this work. it apparently
would make defense officials
more cautious about even pro-
posing assignment of projects to
the Bureau of Standards.

Auto Dealer Cox
Faces New Charge
In Used-Car Deals

Alexandria automobile dealer
Frank M. Cox faced a new charge
today in connection with his
used-car transactions.
He was picked up. by Alexan-
dria police early today on a fugi-
tive warrant for Darlington,
S. c., where he has been charged
with passing a bad check for the
purchase Of used cars last jan
uary.
Charges Increase.
Charges have been piling up
against Cox ever since his two
week disappearance in February.
The 48-year-old head of Gateway
Motors first was arrested by FBI
agents when he returned to Alex
andria and was charged with
transporting automobiles OBJ
tanned by fraud. Later Pennsyl-
vania authorities added four
charges as follows: Buying $l4,:
600 worth of cars from a Phila-
delphia concern with worthless
checks, fraudulent conversion of
property. possession of a hrearm
and defacing a firearm.
Refuses Extradition.
Cox refused to waive extra
dition when he was taken before
Judge James R. Duncan in
Alexandria Civil and Police
Court today. Neville Howard,
assistant Commonwealth's at
torney. requested $4,000 bond
because he said Cox had proved
hard to find in recent months.
Cox's attorney, T. Brooke
Howard, asked that the bond be
$1,000. He said Cox would give
a plausible and reasonable ex-
planation for his previous alb
Sence at the proper time.
Judge Duncan fixed bond at
$4,000 and ordered Cox to re-
appear May 26. Police said it
would be necessary for South
Carolina authorities to start
extradition proceedings to get
him back to South Carolina.
While Cox was before Judge
Duncan he pleaded guilty to a
speeding charge and paid a SIS
fine. He was arrested and
charged with going 81 miles an
hour on Fairfax street, one block
from the police station.

Orders Go Out 10 End
Segregation at Posts
In Military District

Elimination Of racial segrega-
ton in the Military District Of
Washington was under way to-
day in compliance with the ex-
pressed desires of President
Eisenhower.
The Military District includes
the ceremonial. tradition-laden
Third Infantry Regiment as well
as Fort Myer, Fort McNair and
Fort Belvoir.
Orders ending segregation went
to Forts Myer and McNair yes
terday from Military District
commanding officer. Maj. Gen.
E. K. Wright and will 60 to Fort
Belvoir today, a spokesman said.
The Belvoir order. however. ap-
plies only to the administrative
and housekeeping troops under
the Districts jurisdiction.
Further Orders Expected.
A similar order to other troops
at the big engineering center in
Virginia is expected.
President Eisenhower has COM
mented that he could not see
how segregation could be allowed
in any operation sustained by
Federal funds. An integration
program has been in process in
the Far East command since
mid-1951.
Integration of colored and
white troops at Fort McNair is
about complete. There are 80
colored troops stationed there.
1t Is getting under way at Fort
Myer. where 125 colored troops
are stationed.
Future requirements in the Sd
Infantry will be on the basis of
10 per cent colored, who must
measure up to the same physical
and intelligence standards now
required by that elite unit.
No Segregation in Clubs.
The order means that white
and colored troops will be quar-
tered together. There has been
no segregation in officers clubs.
the spokesman said; nor in the
enlisted mems clubs.
In the case of officers, the club
is open to all and a membership
is obtainable by application and
Endorsement of one member. The
clubs have always served meals
to all officers.
At Fort Myer. an enlisted
mems club has been maintained
in the colored troop area as a
convenience to the men quar-.
tered there, the Army said.

A warning from the Research
and Development Board passed
unheeded, it was learned today,
when the Pentagon decided to
restrict defense work assigned to
the Bureau of Standards.
Secretary of Commerce Weeks
provoked the latest incident in
volving the bureau.
He asked Defense Secretary
Wilson to take a second look at
work the Pentagon was asking
the Bureau of Standards to do
on proximity fuses.
The Pentagon's Research and
Development Board, which as
signs the work. advised Secre-
tary Wilson that the bureau was
uniquely qualified" to do the
job. The board added that it
was concerned that the Bureau
OF Standards might deteriorate
If its key personnel leave be-
cause of the planned custer of
DR.. Allen V. Astin as bureau
director.
Fear Loss of 700 Jobs.
On day after receiving this
warning. the Pentagon instructed
defense agencies not to give the
Bureau of Standards-or any
other Federal agency-develop-
ment contracts unless they have
the specific approval of Secre-
tary Wilson or Deputy Secretary
of Defense Keyes.
Bureau of Standards officials
predicted this will cut the bu-
reau's work sharply. Some Of
f1cials believed TOO bureau en-
ployes will lose their jobs.
Secretary Weeks already is in
volved in row with the bureau.
He is forcing DR.. AStin to leave
the bureau this fall for reasons
which have not been detailed. A
Senate Appropriations subcom-
mittee will investigate.
Mr.. Weeks touched off the
latest incident March Is when
he wrote to Secretary Wilson
about work the Pentagon had
assigned to the Bureau of
