A group of Fairfax parents
are nearing completion Of a
project novel to county schools
"a wooded park playground.
Tree-loving members of the
Holmes Run Acres Civic AsSo-
citation noticed bulldozers and
county employees cutting down
trees on the grounds of the new
Woodburn School, now nearing
completion, on Gallows road.
AS one member said it:
II guess Fairfax County has
so much timber they don't care.
But I'm from Nevada where a
tree is something"
The associations executive
committee took their problem to
the school officials and held a
meeting on the school site to
decide what could be saved.
Supt. w. T. WoodSon called
the tree cutting to a halt and
the citizens agreed to clean out

Angry Republicans
Plan Move Over Snub
On Maryland Tax Cui
BY the As.oeiatsd Press

ANNAPOLIS, Mar. IS Wrath
full Republican Senators hud-
died today to decide whatsif any
hand-slapping they win do as
a result of the cold treatment
given them by Democrats in
showing ahead the automatic tax
reduction plan.
Minority Leader Kimble was
fighting mad yesterday after the
Democrats refused his request
to put off action on the Finance
Committees favorable report of
the plan until he could study
the most recent amendment.
Della Group Blamed.
Indications were he blamed
the Della Democrats.
Senate President Della and
Senator Redden. Democrat, of
Caroline went along with the
Republicans to put off action on
the plan until today, but the
rest Of the Democrats overrode
them. Then all 18 Democrats
voted to approve the committees
report, with all II Republicans
opposing it.
That caused Seator Kimble to
call a quick Republican caucus.
After it was over he said only
that a committee would recon-
mend to another caucus today
what the Republicans should
do about it.
Republicans Aroused.
Statehouse corridor talk in
dicated the Republicans were so
aroused by what they called
"such high-handed action" they
were even considering turning
against Mr.. Della, whom they
helped elect to the Senate lead
ership at the start of the Ses-
sion over Senator Sybert, Dem
ocrat. Of Howard, candidate of
the II insurgent Democrats.
But the general opinion was
that they would not try to de-
throne Mr.. Della at this stage of
the session in favor of Mr.. Sy-
bert.
While the Senate fused, q
House committee gave it's ap-
proval to four bills generally
restricting haul seining. The
bills would prohibit The use of
motors to drag the nets and
stop seining from Friday mid
night to dawn Monday.

Murder
CONTINUED From First Page.)


cash register and scooped slightly
less than 500 from the drawer,
police said. He dropped some of
the loot as he fed.
The killer was described as
colored. with medium brown
skin, between 81 and IS years
old, 5 feet 10 inches tall and
weighing about l60 pounds.
He wore q blue-gray short
zippered coat or Jacket, of q
shade slightly lighter than that
of a policeman's shirt. He also
wore blue jeans or overalls,
which were cuffless.
After the killing, Mrs. Honik-
man and Miss Honikman went
to the home of another daughter,
Mrs. Charles Mostow, 648 Nichol-
son street NE.
This was Mr.. Honikman'S third
and last brush with criminals. A
month ago, on February IL, he
was attacked and beaten by a
bandit as he entered his home
He recently was released from
the hospital, where he underwent
treatment for three broken ribs
suffered in the earlier robbery.
Mrs. Arthur c. Wagner of 814
A street Sc, a neighbor. said
Mr.. and Mrs. Honikman were
returning home from the store
last February II when the ban
dit accoSted Mr.. Honikman.
Mrs. Honikman, who has a
heart ailment, had Jagged be-
hind. The bandit passed her
and attacked Mr.. Honikman at
the door of his home. Mrs.
Honikman's screams routed the
bandit after he had tussled with
Mr.. Honikman and thrown him
against an iron railing.
The grocer was to have ap-
peared in court today for a hear
ing in connection with that as
sault. Willie James Ford, II,
colored. has been accused.
Inspector Scott and Chief
Murray discounted any theory
linking the yoke-robbery of Mr..
Honikman last month with his
Staying last night.
Home Also Ransacked.
In the summer of 1850, Mr..
Honikman's home was ransacked
by thieves who took 5000 and
some jewelry.
AS in usual in murder inveSti-
cations. police withheld descrip-
ton Of the weapon used. Wit
nesses said it was a rusty, nickel
plated revolver.
Last nights killing recalled
the Staying Of Samuel Cooper
man, 56-year-old liquor store
proprietor, who was struck down
by a bandit as he fed from his
store in the 100 block of Florida
avenue NE. in August, 1851.
That killing has never been
solved.

Two Gifted Goods Reverse
Trend, Study 10 Live on Farm

This is a branch Of higher
learning that involves more than
stopping the hawgs and milk
ink cows. The girls have plowed
through such subjects as physics,
biology, genetics, chemistry, bot
any. bacteriology and soil studies
And the animals are subject
to assorted ailments. One fat
old slob of a sow was Topped in
her stall yesterday, wheeling
painfully.
Whats wrong with her?" a
visitor asked.
"She's got arthritis." said one
of the girls. The university
hasn't destroyed the sufferer be-
cause it's an unusual breed. In
stead, veterinarians are pumping
cortisone into it. One might say
the creature is a sort of guinea
pig.
Miss Harrison Is engaged to
an Air Force major. They plan
to marry as soon as he can get
back to civilian life. She said
she's positive she'll like farm life,
although she's never had a
stretch of it.
Miss Wangler has spent a lit
tie time on the farm her parents
own, and she's eager to get into
the straw-hat and overalls cir
cult permanently.
Somebody suggested it was
odd she wants to go to a farm.
Washington is full of girls who
came here to get away from the
barnyard.
J Eyes, and look what they've
got," Miss Wangler snapped.

Coffee Prices
Due 10 Rise as
.0PSLiftsLid
5-to-l2-Cent
Advance Per Pound
Forecast Here

The price of coffee may shoot
up as much as S to IL cents a
pound.
This was the opinion of Wash
ington businessmen today, in the
wake of action by the Office Of
Price Sterilization. lifting con-
trolls on coffee. beer, heating oils
and some other products.
Prices of fuel oil and beer
are expected to remain about
the same.
The spokesman for a large
coffee handling establishment
here put it this way:
"Any increase in coffee prices
depends on the green market for
unroasted coffee. There has
been no market for green coffee
for the past few weeks, because
Brazil was asking over the ceiling
price. Today. the market opens
as a free market for the first
time that prices went over OPS
ceilings recently. It was on Feb
ruary "a when the market went
over ceiling and trading stopped,
because it was illegal to deal in
over-ceiling coffee prices"
Price Resistance Seen.
Coffee here, within the past
few days, has been selling any,
where from n cents to SO cents
a pound, generally. depending
upon the brands.
Coffee handlers foresaw severe
consumer resistance if coffee goes
over 81 a pound.
New York experts saw a rise
of as much as. Z cents a pound
possible for retail coffee prices.
OPS officials here said coffee
prices may jump 10 to IL cents
pound at retail.
Earl Gilbert. sales manager
for the Heurich Brewing Co.,
Washington's sole brewery, said
of beer:
II can't see where there will
be any increases at the whole
sale level. There might be some
adjustments in some few places.
but no overall change in the
general picture. Beer prices
have been below ceiling at the
wholesale level in this part Of
the country"
Retail Rise Discounted.
Hilliard Schulberg, executive
secretary. Washington Retail
Liquor Dealers Association. said: !:
Assuming that the whole
salers and brewers do nothing.
the OPS action on beer will have
no effect in the District of Co
lumbia. The retailers definitely
will not raise their prices in the
District"
Regarding heating oils, a
spokesman for the Standard Oil
Co. Of New Jersey declared he
does not anticipate any immedi-
ate increases. He pointed out
that ceiling prices on gasoline
were taken off and there has
been no price increase in this
area.
Among the other items decon-
trolled by OPS were instant
coffees. soy beans. animal feeds
and most chemicals. Products
decontrolled represent a total
annual sales volume of close to
$40 billion. officials said.

Jury Considers
$375,OO0 Suitin
Air|iner Crash
Test Case Verdict
Awaited in Accident
Killing SIS Here

A Federal jury today was de-
liberating $375.000 death suit
against Eastern Airlines and Boz
livian Pilot Erick Rios Bridoux.
The suit, originally for 81 mil
lion, was brought by sister and
brother, whose parents were
killed in the crash of the air
liner in November. 1949. after it
had collided with a fighter plane
piloted by Capt. Rios. The
crash, fatal to SIS, occurred in
the vicinity Of the National Air
port.
The action, which q a test
case for a number of pending
suits. also was brought against
the Federal Government as OPP
orator of the National Airport
control tower.
However, under the law, a
jury may not decide such cases
against the Government. It Is
up to Judge Matthew F Nc
Guire, who presided at the liti-
CATION in the U. S. District Court
for the District of Columbia, to
rule on liability and damages, II
any. as far as the charges against
the Government is concerned.
Two Month Trial. g.
Judge MCGUIRE placed that
portion of the suit which is
against the airline and Capt.
BridouX in the hands of the
jury late yesterday. just two
months after the trial started.
Attorneys David A. Bress and
Sheldon E. Bernstein brought
the suit in behalf of Miss Mil
dred Miller and her brother.
Ralph F. Miller. jr., whose par
ents lived at SLIP Grove avenue,
Chevy Chase. Md.
Besides the question of negli-
gence. also at issue Is the exact
location of the collision. Under
Virginia law. as it stood at the
time Of the crash, death suit
judgments carried q maximum
of $4,000.
Dispute Over Jurisdiction.
In his final argument to the
judge and jury yesterday. Mr..
BreSs contended that the fault
lies with all three defendant
parties" He said he believed
| that. on the basis of the evil
dence. the jury must believe his
contention that the collision
occurred over the Potomac River
and outside the Virginia juris-
dictiof1.@
Attorney Richard Galiher, rep
yresenting the airline, declared
the overwhelming weight of testi-
mony indicated that the P-38
ignored landing instructions while
the airliner compiled with clear
ance to land which was given
it. and the P-38 dived on it from
above and behind" He said the
testimony showed the collision
occurred in Virginia.
Attorney Brainerd H. Warner
III, representing Capt. Rios, told
the jury that testimony that the
P-38 was travelling at 400 miles
an hour was beyond belief" Mr..
Warner declared it is physically
impossible for such a plane to
attain that speed with flaps and
landing gear down.
Judge MCGUIRE has not yet
heard final arguments from As
sistant United States Attorney
Ross ODonoghue, representing
the Government.
