In 9 BurgIaries in
Less Than 5 Hours

robbing nine apartments in less
than five hours, was under ar
rest today because of the good
memory of a detective.
Detective Sergt. Walter N.
Cook of the general assignment
squad said the, suspect will be
charged with ransacking nine
apartments in two buildings on
Sixteenth street NV. between
10 am. and 3 pm. yesterday. He
identified the suspect as Waverly
Richardson. 81, colored, of the
300 block Of H street S.W.
Richardson was arrested at
Seventh and T streets NV. at
3 pm. yesterday by Detective
Wyatt Roy of the morals divi-
sion. The detectives said he rec
ognized the suspect as a man
he had arrested in 1948.
Because Richardson was trying
to sell jewelry from a paper
shopping bag to passersby, De-
tective Roy decided to question
him. He chased him a block to
accomplish this.
The detective said Richardson
got out of prison in December
after serving time for burglary.
Sergt. Cook estimated the
value OF the stolen property at
more than $1,000. He said Rich
ardson sold a typewriter and a

Tieless Sport Shirts Decreed Acceptable for Diplomats in India

NEW DELHI, India, R-Diplo- mats in India's sweltering capital appear to be lowing to the heat at least until dinner time. Official ly it's okay to wear tieless sports shirts by day and light suits for cocktails.
 The new regime was advised in a circular to the diplomatic corps from it's doyen, the Egyptian Am bassador Ismail Kamel Bey. He reported Tuesday that the "logic of it seems to be bringing them all around" but stressed that tits not obligatory"
 "If any want to be formal, they will just be out of step," he added.
 Diplomats here customarily have worn neckties throughout the day and dinner jackets at cocktail par ties, despite New Delhi's 110-de- gree midsummer temperatures.
 The new policy does not affect the customary black tie for even ing dress.

 They demanded that their wives quit forcing husbands to cut the lawn on hot days, paint the porch and spank the baby.
 The wives refused to get up and cook breakfast.
 The compromise permits the men to wait for the cool of the evening before moving the lawn. It also allows the males to go fishing as often as they want to. The wives may go along if they keep quiet.

Husbands End Strike Against Wives,
 Gain Fishings, Lawn Cutting Rights,

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama, R - Everybody's happy out on 42nd Street North today. The embattled males Monday signed a compro- mise agreement with their wives to end a week-long strike of the husbands.
 Under the agreement, the hus- bands will continue turning their paychecks over to their wives. In return, the wives agreed to ease off on demands that their mates do some of the household chores.
 Mayor James V. Morgan hailed the settlement as the salvation of the very foundation of Birming- ham-its homes"
 The mayor, reminding the strikers that he is a married man himself, earlier appealed for an agreement. His honor said that he feared the strike might spread to other sections of the city, the state and the nation.
 Jim Caldwell, 53-year-old rail road conductor, had spearheaded the strike. He started picketing the street, bearing a sign which stated that the wives were unfair to husbands. Twenty-Five other
