Drugstore Clerks
Death Is Probed

The death of a drugstore clerk
attributed by a note to an over
dose of sleeping pills, was in
vestigated by police today for a
possible clue to the Sam Leo
Hoyle murder case.
The man, william T. Hagen
IS, was found sprawled in a chair
of the room he occupied at 1706
Nineteenth street NV.
Capt. Richard j. Felber of the
homicide squad said they also
found four notes, one indicating
the man had taken 200 sleeping
pills. The body was removed to
the morgue for an autopsy.
Capt. Felber said some of the
notes were written in a "belliger-
ent" vein.
He added that Hagen had been
employed since March 3 at a
drugstore on Fourteenth street
NV, where Mr.. Hoyle, a dairy
route salesman, was found shot
to death in his car February 81.
Police said records showed
Hagen was arrested by park
police on a morals charge in

Separate Bill Asks
D. T.. Rent Control
Extension 10 Ju|y31

Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee, with the ap-
proval of all the six other men,
bers of the group. today intro
duced a separate bill to extend
District rent control to July 81.
He was hoping the Senate
parliamentary situation would be
such that at some time during
the day he could get unanimous
consent to take I'D the bill and
send it to the House.
He was advised that Chairman
Simpson of the House District
Committee had agreed to call a
quick hearing on the bill if the
Senate passed it.
May Bypass Senate Group.
Since all seven members of the
Senate District Committee have
approved the emergency move,
it was assumed that it would not
be necessary for the bill to be re-
ferred to the Senate committee
for formal action before the Sen
ate considered it. Members were
po1led on the question this morn
ing.
Need for a separate bill de-
veloped Saturday when the
Senate passed and sent to the
White House a House-passed bill
extending Federal rent controls
to July 81. An amendment was
pending to include the District
in this bill, but was by-passed
Senator Case said: II am not
an apostle of rent controls, but
it seemed a matter of equity that
the District should have a three
month extension since this has
been granted to other cities over
the country"
Rent Raises Under Way.
While the poll was being taken
of Senate Committee members
this morning. the Senate Com
mittee staff was busy answering
telephone protests from tenants
in the District about notices
from landlords for increases in
rent beginning Friday. Under
present law District rent con-
trolls expire Thursday night.
Earlier, the request for a three
month extension was taken up
by the Commissioners in a meet
ing with Chairman Simpson of
the House District Committee
which last week killed the Com
missioners' bill for a two-month
extension.
At the conference with Mr..
Simpson were District Commis-
SionerS Samuel Spencer and

Public Works
$335 Million Project
To Be Offered for
House Consideration

Chairman Simpson Of the
House District Committee today
announced that he will intro
duce in the House legislation to
authorize the Districts proposed
$685. million public works pro-
gram.
The Illinois Republican made
this statement after a confer
ence in his Office with District
Commissioners Spencer and
Camalier and Assistant Engineer
Commissioner 1t. Col. Harry
Hansen.
Await All Details.
In the absence of Engineer
Commissioner Prentiss at the
conference it was agreed that
Mr.. Simpson will delay formal
presentation of the public works
program until it is completed in
all details by the three Commits
sioners.
There was no indication as to
when this will be.
The long-range program for an
eight-year public works program
previously had been taken to the
White House by the Commission
ers. 1t was understood to be
under study by the Bureau of
the Budget, but the Commission
ers have not received a reply.
Confer with Case.
Chairman Simpson said he
suggested to the Commissioners
today that they also confer with
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee.
Robert c. Albrook, clerk of the
Senate District Committee, paid
a visit to the District Building
during the morning and talked to
the Commissioners and key Dis
trict government personnel. Sent
by Senator Case, Mr.. Albrook is
trying to arrange a program of
hearings on District legislation
including public works-which
the Senate clerk hopes can begin
in a week to 10 days.

Ellen Meyer. Miss Meyer, Is. had
already been climbing about in
the cavernous upper regions Of
the stage, and her trousers and
checked shirt were covered with
SCOT and grease.
"I was up in the gridiron get
ting measurements of the places
where these things will come
in," she said, indicating one OF
the flats. She added that she

had to take her measuring job

Backstage another crew was

They were unpacking trunks
that were strewed about in a big

robe mistress, was dashing about
looking for light bulbs and
chairs. She's been with the Met
80 years.
William De Virno, who was

pletion of the system is in seri-
GUS danger.
The eight streams which form
the park system are Cabin John
Creek, Little Falls Branch, Rock
Creek, Northwest Branch, Sligo
Creek. Paint Branch, Anacostia
River Gncluding Indian Creek,
a tributary and Oxon Run. They
are part of a master park plan
which ties in with the park sys-
tenn of the District.
Development of these parks is
the task of the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission. The COM
missions jurisdiction extends
throughout an artif1cially Gre
ated area known as the Wash
ington Metropolitan District and
does not embrace the whole of
the counties.
Three ParkwayS Included.
Also tied in with these streams
and the valleys through which
they flow are three parkways-
the George Washington Memo
rial Parkway, the Washington
Baltimore Parkway and the Suit
land Parwkay-and 80 local rec
reation centerS.
Development Of the park sys-
tenn began with the passage of
the Capper-Cramton Act by
Congress in 1880.
The results of that far-sighted
program can be seen in the two
counties now. There was no park
System-in fact no parks-be-
fore the commission was created
in 1927 and the Capper- -Cramton
Act passed in 1880.
The nearby Maryland park
system has taken substantial
form since the act was passed.
The master plan is on paper,
developed in cooperation with
the National Capital Planning
Commission which does the same
thing for the District. Purchase
of the land for the entire system
is about So per cent completed.
May Never Be Completed.
The possibility that this mag
nif1cent park system never will
be completed and even may be
cut back from its present status
is a real one.
The Capper-Cramton Act
created a way for paper plans
to become a reality. The sec
ton affecting Maryland ca1ls
for Federal grant of one-third
the cost of the stream valley
parks. The state must pay two
thirds of the cost.
Congress has not appropriated
funds under the Capper- -Cramton
Act for the last two years. Next
years budget also contains
nothing as it now stands passed
by the House.
Maryland officials find them
selves tied to an agreement with
a partner who is not living up
to his bargain. On top of that,
there is some sentiment in the
Federal Budget Bureau to either
modify or scrap the Capper-
Cramton Act as an economy
measure.
The commission has acquired
2,942 acres of land in the stream
valleys in Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties under
the Capper-Cramton Act. OF
this land, 1872 acres have been
developed into usable park areas.
A total of 1923 acres are in
Montgomery County and 1,139 in
Prince Georges County.
Plans are to add another 1870
acres in Montgomery and an
other 1,131 in Prince Georges for
a total of 5,001 acres. The val
ley parks then will total 7,943
acres.

Probation Sentence
For HOUSEKEEPING
Explained by Judge

Judge Edward M. Curran de-
cided today he could not re-
sentence a youth implicated by
police in 200 housebreakings,
whom the judge had placed on
probation.
Saturday Judge Curran said
he would take another look" at
the probation report which had
been presented to him on Fri
day just prior to the sentencing
of the defendant, Elmer r. Drew,
20.
George w. Howard. assistant
to the chief probation officer,
told reporters that the house.
breakings had been reported in
the probation paper. But Judge
Curran said that he did not
notice reports of the crimes in
the paper.
Quotes From Report.
Today, in defending his grant,
ing of probation. Judge Curran
quoted from the report as fol-
lows:
Incidentally. police feel that
the defendant has been RESPONSE
BILE for a number of housebreak-
ings in recent months.
But insofar as the writer
(Mr. Howard) can determine,
the instant case is the only one
which has been presented to the
grand jury"
Judge Curran then said: "The
expression police feel is no re-
port to me that the man has
admitted to 200 housebreakings." |"
Referring to the quoted portion
of the report, Judge Curran said:
Il cannot draw any inference
from that that the man has a
prior felony record" The judge
commented that if police have
other cases against him they
should be presented to a grand
jury for indictment.
Referring to the robbery &C
quittal. the jurist said: IF a
man is acquitted I cannot con-
slider that" He said that the
only convictions that appeared
on the report were for two mis-
demeanorS.
Judge Explains Stand.
The Judge said that he could
not legally recall the youth for
more severe sentence. Only
where the new sentence would be
lower than the original one can
a defendant be recalled, the
judge said.
Drew received a one-to-three-
year suspended sentence and was
placed on probation for three
years after pleading guilty to a

New Clue to Control
OF Cancer Revealed

! Certain cancer cells can syn
thesize natures most potent
growth elixir. vitamin BIZ. Nor
NAL cells cannot produce the
substance.
In this fact, DR.. D. w. Woolley
of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research told the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences, lies
a possible new clue to the control
of malignant growths and a new
lead in the ver-ending search
for some chemical which will
prove a virulent poison for can
Ger without harming the rest Of
the body.
In the synthesis both of BIZ
and of ribof1avin. the anti
pellagra vitamin, the starting
point is a chemical known as
diaminobenzene. The process
can be stopped by use Of certain
substances known as antimeta-
boliteS.
The cancer cell is producing
the vitamins because it needs
them and probably cannot live
without them. If something can
be introduced into the body to
stop the Syntheis process. growth
of tumor will be greatly slowed
down and perhaps halted.
Failures Unexplained.
This Is a theoretical approach,
DR.. Woolley said, but it actually
worked in cases of spontaneous
ly. supposedly hereditary breast
cancers in laboratory mice. In
at least so per cent of the ami
mails there were decided regres-
sion or disappearance of the
tumors.
Why the treatment did not
work in the other half is un-
known. The regressed tllmors
began to grow again in a few
months in the face Of continued
treatment. The cells apparent
ly acquired resistance to the an
timetabolites.

Hundreds of new AtlantiseS-

They were born under the sea
and will go back there. Such
lands are most of the coral
islands of the Pacific and Indian
Oceans.
The largest of these is Christ
mas Island in the Ellice Island
group, just south of the equator
in the Pacific. The islands were
built up by corals and other sea
organisms which ordinarily do
not rise to the surface. DR.. Pres

States Geological Survey told the
National Academy of Sciences
today as it opened its annual
scientific meetings here.
They attached themselves to
some high projecting rock and
built upward and outward when
sea levels were high, sometime
after the last great ice age. This
period was one of the summers
of the ages when countless tons
of water we're poured into the
oceans by the melting Arctic and
Antarctic icecaps.
Temperature Rising Again.
Then came a great recession
in temperature and the sea level
dropped again. The coral islands
were left high and dry-uSually

seven feet above sea level. They

But, DR.. Cloud said. If the tenn

another thousand years most OF
these islands will be six feet un-

begin to be felt much sooner.

Gas Light Company
Asks PUG TO Approve
New Higher Rates

The Washington Gas Light
Co. today presented to the Pub
lie Utilities Commission rates it
proposes to use under the in
creased charges of $754,000 a
year allowed by the commission.
The average increase to house.
holders using gas for heat and
other purposes would be about
So cents a month. The increase
for those who do not use gas
for heat would be about Is cents
a month.
The new rates would go into
effect at the next reading of
meters, if the commissioners ap-
prove them. The decision of the
commission will be issued shortly
so that gas used next month
would be charged at the higher
rates.
To reimburse the company for
those expenses which it incurs,
the minimum monthly bill would
be $1.03, an increase of 3 cents.
In group-metered dwelling prof.
ects of four units or more, the
minimum charge would be IS
cents per dwelling unit.
Net rates apply when monthly
bills are paid within 20 days
after they are rendered. When
payment is made after the 20
day period, gross rates will apply.
This is the system the company
has been using for many years.
At 4:30 pm. today after the
stock markets close, the Public
Utilities Commission will meet
to consider the company's financ-
ing plan involving a new issue
of around $4,000 additional
shares of common stock. These
