chamber a few minutes after

tress, security measures were
doubled.
This was on top Of extraordi-
nary precautions for security and
secrecy which, in recent days.

world they are due to leave.
Attorneys Visit Prison.
Attorneys for Hall and Mrs.
Heady called at the prison this
morning for last talks with them.
So did Mrs. Heady's aunt, Mrs.
Nellie Baker of Chicago, who
reared Mrs. Heady.
Mrs. Baker went to death row
with Mrs. Heads attorney, Har-
old Hull of Maryville, Mo-, and
Marshall K. Hoag, an attorney
in Halls boyhood hometown of
Pleasanton. Kan. Mr.. Hoag was
a longtime friend of Halls

Halls court-appointed lawyer,
Roy K. Dietrich of Kansas City,
also was at the prison for a last
talk with the kidnap-killer.
Will Ride Quarter Mile.
Hall and Mrs. Heady will wear
regulation prison clothing when
they are taken a quarter-mile
by automobile from death row
to the lethal gas chamber to-
night. For Mrs. Heady that will
be a green cotton dress and
scuft type sandals.
Hall will be dressed in olive
green twill pants and shirt. He
will go into the gas tank bare
foot. Both will be blindfolded.
In their last hours, the two
will have a final chat in death
row, closely guarded as they
have been since their arrest. The
guards will be close enough to
hear if they say anything about
the missing money.
Both are reported outwardly
calm. They have been eating

Morton SobeII, Convicted
As Spy, Seeks New Trial
By the Associated Press

Morton Sobell, who was con-
victed with atom spies julius and
Ethel Rosenberg, has appealed
to the Supreme Court to order
new trial for him on grounds
of newly discovered evidence.
Sobell is serving a 30-year SEN
tence in Alcatraz prison. The
Rosenbergs were executed last
June 10. Sobell appealed to the
highest tribunal after Federal
courts in New York City rejected
his request for a new trial.
The Supreme Court previously
had denied Sobell a review OF
his conviction.
In the new appeal Sobell as

will defer any resumption of the
sale of mortgages until they can
be disposed on an orderly basis.
The agency also intends to avoid
dumping any volume of mort
cages at low prices and will
market them at a rate that can
be absorbed without impairing
the normal market for home
mortgages, Mr.. Cole said.

Stump Pump 0vereomes
Basement FLOODING

One of the best means of pro-
tecting a basement against the
hazards of flooding, such as
homes damaged recently in Alex
andria, is the installation of a
sump pump. Also know as a
cellar drainer, a sump pump op-
crates automatically to remove
excess water from the basement
and from around the outer walls.
The Plumbing and Heating In
dustries Bureau points out that
the drain tile running around
the foundation of a house should
not be connected with the house
sewer in areas where there is
danger of flooding. Instead, the
drain tile should discharge into
a sump over which the pump is
installed. The sump may also
be connected with a floor drain
in the center of the low point
of the basement.

Elevator Apartments
Improve Financially

Washington elevator apart
ment houses found themselves in
a slightly improved position in
1852, first full year of operation
since the general rent increase
of mid-1951, a survey discloses
Operating costs took an average
of 55.94 cents of the income dol
lar as compared with 56.1 cents
in 1851 and $3.50 cents in 1850.
This and other conclusions
were reached in the annual Ex-
perience Exchange of so elevator
apartments of the Building Own
ers and Management Association
of Metropolitan Washington. The
report ignores depreciation, in
terest and capital expenditures.
Income of the so apartments
totaled $4,410,927; expense to-
tailed So, 2,467,517. leaving a crude
net of $1,943,410 The number
of rooms reported were 14,306R.
Income per room rose 1892,
while average expense rose $1.70:
the improvement in crude net
was 1922. Offsetting in some
measure the rise in average rent
income per room was the con-
tinuing slump in switchboard
income, from $14.70 in 1850 to
$13.72 in 1851 and $12.42 last
year. Switchboard expense per
room also declined. however.
from $3.50 in 1850 to $12.85 in
1851 and $11.53 last year.
Repairs and maintenance &C
counted for the biggest increase
in costs last year. Average cost
per room for this item was 1884,
up $500 from 1851. This clearly
shows. the report said, that
BONA members generally plowed
back into their buildings most
of the rent increase allowed them
in 1851. Thus the tenants bene-
fitted through property improve
ments which for years were cur
tailed through the workings Of
rent control.
Contrary to rising costs gen.
orally, these show a decline: Pay
roll, $44.04 per room, down $1.33:
gas and electricity, $11.45, down
$1.47: water. $2.77, down 20
cents; real estate tax, $27.96.
Evening star., 1953-05-16

down 68 cents: "other taxes and
licenses" $135, down 81 cents.
Moderate increases in expenses
per average room were: Fuel,
$3.50, a rise of 68 cents; janitor
and other supplies, $2.45, up. 19
cents, and trash and ash collec-
ton, $1.78, up II cents.
Here are some reported oddities
in operation: One building with
381a rooms paid out not one cent
in payroll, the janitor getting
free quarters. Income went for
property taxes. Two buildings

Ohio Pays High
BroiIer Prices

Broiler prices are higher in
Ohio than they are in major
broiler areas, says D. d. Meyer,
extension specialist at Ohio State
University.
Meyer points out that the state
produces only one broiler for
each five or six consumers. 1t also
costs several cents pound to
move chickens into Ohio.
The specialist warns farmers
planning to expand broiler pro-
duction, however, that when
prices drop in other areas, pro-
ducerS there often flood Ohio
markets. Any expansion should
be a cooperative effort by hatch
erymen, producers and process
sors in the area.
A unit of at least to 10 thou
sand broilers will utilize labor
most efficiently, Meyer adds.
Producers should obtain high
quality chicks of the type desired
by markets in their areas. If pro-
ducers also buy from flocks
where pullorum is controlled and
is they manage to control disease,
they will eliminate another big
factor of loss.
controlling mortality is the
biggest factor that is going to in
crease profits in the broiler bust
ness" Mover saws.

House Plants Need
Constant Tending

House plants require constant
care, says B. H. Pace, superinten-
dent of the horticulture green
houses at Ohio State University
Foliage plants should be
syringed about twice a day be-
cause the atmosphere of most
homes today is too dry, Pace
says. The syringe used for damp
ening clothes is satisfactory for
this purpose.
Plants vary in water require
ments, mainly because they have
been potted at different times
and the soil differs enough to re-
quire separate watering. Too
little fertilizer is better than too
much Pace says. Any good com
mercial fertilizer such as 4-l2-4
is satisfactory. There are also
many good liquid fertilizers.
Mineral oil often used on
leaves to make them glossy is
generally not harmful but might
be on hairy leaves like those of
the African violet. If the oil
collects dust, use dry cloth to
wipe leaves.
