7o Stray Iceboxes Made Safe
In Alexandria to Bar Tragedy

I adopted a resolution urging the
General Assembly to consider at
its next session a law to make
it illegal to abandon old ice
boxes that might become death
traps for children.
The resolution was brought
about by the recent deaths of
four Richmond youngsters who
died when they locked them
selves in an old box and by
similar accidents in other
States.
At the same time individual
legionnaireS began collecting
money for the w. w. Blackstock
family in Richmond. The Black

Officials emphasized that col
lecting the money was not being
done as an official act of the

Unusual Class Trains 200 Carpenters
By Tom Burke

More than 200 area young
men are engaged in an unusual
training program developed
through the combined efforts of
union. management. the Dis
trict public school system and
the United States Employment
Service.
The trainees are apprentice
carpenters.
Unlike the apprentices of old,
who learned their trades by on
the-job work, these young men
underwent an aptitude test, at
tend school twice a week, get
regular report cards and can
look forward to a full-scale grad
uation ceremony at the end Of
their training.
The Joint Carpentry Appren-
ticeship Committee for WASH
ington, composed of representa-
tiveS Of the Master Builders AS
ISOLATION, the Mill Operators and
the Carpenters District Council,
set the wheels in motion in
January. 1850.
They appointed Nicholas r.
Loope, Navy veteran, Journey
man carpenter and former con-
Struction superintendent, to
direct the apprentice training
program.
Linked to School Work.
Mr.. Loope has not rejected
the value of on-the-job train
ing. He has, however, dove
tailed the job-work with school
work so that the two phases of
activity complement each other.
Ten teachers, two of them full
time are engaged in the class
room part of the program. They
are all craftsmen in their trades
as well as able classroom in
Structors.
Two nights a week during the
regular school year they hold
classes at Bell Vocational School.
The science of four branches of
the trade, carpentry, mill work,
floor, wall and ceiling covering
and carpet laying. are taught
in these sessions.
The students learn drafting
and blueprinting, finishing work
and other technical aspects of
the trade. In addition they are
given a course in labor-manage-
ment relations.
Accepts Testing Program.
But the real forward-looking
attitude of the joint committee
is demonstrated in it's acceptance
of the aptitude testing program.
Mr. Loope said test results are
one of the key factors, along
with character, physical qualifi-
cations, background and inter-

nave contributed a total of 81, 100
plus some Office equipment to the
joint venture.
Employers feel the training
program will produce more eff
cient craftsmen for future years
and have indicated that prelimi-
nary results of the three-year-
old program have borne out their
contention, according to Mr..
Loope.
Three graduation exercises
have been held in the past three
years. But the graduates were
those who were trained for either
one, two or three years under
the new program.
Next year, for the first time, a
full four-year group of appren-
tices will be graduated. A ban
quet graduation ceremony is al
ready being planned for the oc-
casion.

Franconiia Man
Is Hunted After
Attack on Girl
Another Child Fled
From Suspect Now
Believed in Woods

Fairfax County police today
were searching the woods south
Of Franconia for a man accused
Of raping a 10-year-old girl
shortly after dark last night.
Detective David Eike of the
Groveton police SubStation said
a warrant charging rape has
been issued for Ernest Reid, %,
OF Franconia. Reid was des-
cribed as white, about S feet z,
weighing about 1875 pounds, with
dark brown hair and brown eyes.
Detective Eike said the attack

the victim and a girl friend the
same age were walking down
Beulah road, midway between
Franconia and Telegraph road,
on their way to a store. Reid,
an employe of the store known
to both girls. came by on his
bicycle and offered them a ride,
which they accepted, Detective
Eike said.
Other Girl Runs Away.
During the ride. he went on,
Reid first asked the little girl
riding on the handle bars to go
into the woods with him. When
she refused, he grabbed her and
dragged her into the woods near
the Windsor Estates subdivision,
where the attack occurred. The
other girl fed.
According to the victims story,
she broke away and ran to a
home several hundred yards
away, pursued by Reid, who
shouted that he would kill her.
She then ran to an aunt's house
nearby and was taken to the
Alexandria Hospital by the Fran
coma Rescue Squad.
Rooms Checked.
Detective Eike said Reid then
apparently hid in the woods for
about an hour, during which a
police car checked the house
where he had a room. When
they returned to the house sew
eral hours later his landlady
said he had come by, picked up
his clothes and left.
County police believe he is
still hiding in the woods near
Franconia and are keeping a
constant squad-car patrol Of the
area. They also have broad
cast a general alarm through
the State police.
They said Reid came to Fran
coma about six weeks ago from
Front Royal, Va.

Special Numbers
For Planes toCost
S7OFron1 NowOn

If you want a special regis
tration number for your airplane
it will cost you $40 from now on.
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration said today SO many
plane owners have asked for
special numbers, it has been
forced to request a fee to defray
expenses of the extra work and
effort involved.
The convenience of having q
low number or simply a favor
ite number seems to be worth
$40 to many owners, the CAA
points out, and they anticipated
continued business in this field.
Numbers become available when
they are turned in by previous
owners, when a plane no longer
is in service, or when a new
number series is introduced.
