ed two holdup men last Saturday

The victims, according to the O.

One man entered the store
Marks grocery, 8703 S. E. 72nd Ave

gun at the two men behind the
counter. Moments later, his COM
panion entered, holding a gun.
M. Horagami, owner of the store,
and his son in law, Vic Nishijima,
were marched into a back room by
one of the men. Horagami handed
over $21 from his wallet.
But Mrs. Horagami thwarted the
robbers. She ran outside and call
ed for help, despite the gun that
was pointed at her.
The gunman failed to fire. In
stead, he called his companion, and
the pair fled. They ignored the
cash register, which contained more
than 5000 The Horagamis said one
of the intruders was about 40 years
old. the other, rs or 30.

PentdgOn Comment
On Vandenberg Plan
For143Wings Sought
sY the Assoeieted Press

Senator Ferguson, Republican
Of Michigan, today sought ON
cial Defense Department COM
ment on Gen. Hoyt s. Vanden-
berg's estimate that an extra
SIS billion would enable the Air
Force to achieve 143 wings by
mid-1957.
Some Democrats demanded
reopening of public hearings on
the controversial Air Force bud
get.
Gen. Vandenberg. outgoing Air
Force Chief Of Staff, gave the
estimate to Senator Ferguson
late yesterday. Senator Fergu-
son is chairman of a Senate Ap-
preparations subcommittee now
studying President Eisenhower's
request for an SILT billion Air
Force budget for the year start
ing July /. The amount is SIS
billion less than was asked by
former President Truman.
Seeks 120-Wing Force.
The new budget aims at 100
Air Force wings-30 to IS planes
per wing-by mid-1955 and up
to ia a year from now. Gen.
Vandenberg said his program
would provide 100 wings year
from now.
Senator Maybank, Democrat,
OF South Carolina, one of those
who have criticized the cutback,
said the new mid-1957 target
date given by Gen. Vandenberg
worries me a great deal"
The original 143-wing pro-
gram had been scheduled for
completion by mid-1955. Two
years ago it was stretched out to
the end of 1855.
Gen. Vandenberg, in testimony
to the appropriations subcom-
mittee 10 days ago, said re
strictions" imposed by the new
administration would mean at
least a six months delay in
achieving the 143 wings, even if
the Air Force were given all the
money he wanted it to have.
Delays Predicted.
Gen. Vandenberg now believes
these restrictionS-mainly on the
building of new bases and on
personnel-have put off until
July. 1857. the time needed to
build up to 143 fully-equipped.
combat wings.
Senator Mcclellan. Democrat,
Of Arkansas said the Vandenberg
estimate. sent to Senator Fergu-
son in letter. would give the
committee something to cross
examine Wilson with something
definite that we can get our
teeth into"
Secretary of Defense Wilson
already has told the committee
the Air Force could not judici-
ously use any more money than
the amount asked by Gen. Eisen-
hover. He has also said that,
pending a review by the new
Joint Chiefs of STAFF. he has no
idea at this time what target
figure the Air Force should reach
for.

at the airport, and so was
Georges younger sister, 16-year-
old Dorothy Ackerman.
They joined in the search in
an airplane piloted by 1t. Ed

Mrs. Ackerman summed up
the feeling tor the weary but
dry-eyed group by saying: This
suspense is something terrible"
Mr.. Ackerman. in his chartered
fight, had the second slick

was Sam Goldman of the Sails

Mr.. Ackerman. has offered a
reward of $4,000 to any one who

tering engine. or in other ap-
parent trouble late Friday, when
the airplane piloted by his son
is believed to have gone down
on its fight from Washington

Strict Code Protested
As Closing Homes
For ConvaIescents

A proposal to set up strict
controls on convalescent homes
here would force the homes to
close and deprive old people of
place to live, the Commits
Sioners were told yesterday.
w. o. Ulrey of the National
Welfare League said the pro-
posed regulations would mean
that only rich old people could
afford the higher prices the rules
would bring.
He appeared during the Com
missioners' monthly meeting to
discuss proposed regulations.
Mr.. Ulrey said the proposals
would force many old persons to
leave private nursing homes and
go to the Home for the Aged and
Inf1rm at Blue Plains. This in
stitution already is crowded, he
added.
Standards Not Now Met.
He said no institution now
maintained by the District Gov
ernment meets the requirements
being set up for private con-
valeScent homes.
Mrs. Ernest w. Howard. Dis
trict volunteer worker, echoed
the sentiments expressed by Mr..
Ulrey. She said only stricter
sanitation, fire and police regu-
lationS are needed.
Other witnesses appearing
against the proposed new rules
included Joseph j. Solem, rep
resenting the Kalorama Rest
Home. and Mrs. Bertha Meyers,
who runs a home at 2727 Adams
Mill road NV.
Deadline Set.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Robert Kneipp told the Commits
Sioners the Federal Department
Of Health, Education and We'll
fare requires minimum standards
to be sep up by July l or the Dis
trict will lose a STA million Fed
eral grant. He said it is not nec-
essary that the regulation go in
to effect by then, however.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea said there are 60 known
convalescent homes in operation
here, caring for about 1,500 per-
sons
Witnesses agreeing with the
proposal included DR.. Frederick
C. Heath, deputy director of pub
lie health. and William Cary. jr..
director of health engineering.
