ANNAPOLIS. July 28.-The
FBI was called into the case of
the 11-year-old piggy bank bur-
glar yesterday but declined to

Donald K. Brown, agent in
charge of the Baltimore FBI
Office. said no formal complaint
was made against the youngster
who was questioned about loot
ing Of piggy banks and cookie
jars from houses o. naval per-
sonnet in North Severn homes.
Mr.. Brown said about $35 had

Court Opinion Holds
Apartment Owners
Liable in Explosion

A boiler explosion which shat
tered the Abingdon Apartments.
Alexandra, on August 81, 1852,
is blamed on an iIliterate jani-
tor in d court opinion that holds
the apartment owners liable for
damages in IA suits resulting
from the blast.
The opinion. filed yesterday by
Federal Judge Albert v. Bryan
in Alexandria District Court,
places liability of damages on
the owners, Cecil D. kaufman
and Isabel @. kaufman.
'Grifhths Consumers Co. and
its subcontractors, who were
converting the boilers from coal
to oil at the time of the blast,
are completely absolved of any
blame in Judge Bryan's decision.
Amount Not Fixed.
The amount of damages is not
fixed. Principals in the litiga-
ton previously agreed to have
the issue Of liability determined
first and reserved the right to
fix the amount of liability in a
jury trial.
OF the IA suits, IL were
brought by tenants who were
either injured or suffered loss
of property in the explosion. The
18th suit was brought by an cleo
trician struck by flying debris
and the 18th was brought by
the owners of the apartment
against the contractor. In his
lengthy. detailed opinion, Judge
Bryan explained the explosion
in this way:
Three boilers were situated In
the building where the blast oc-
CURED. Each boiler has an
outlet valve where water leaves
and circulates to the radiators,
and an inlet valve where water
returns for relocating. There
also was a safety valve at the
top Of each boiler.
Conversion Started.
The conversion of No. 2 and
No. 8 boilers from coal to oil had
been started. Nothing had been
touched in or around No. !
which was the. one that
exploded. Only electric con-
duits leading to No. were being
put in place by the electrician
the day of the explosion.
The electrician told the janitor
to stop the current on No. /
boiler. But the janitor, un-
knawn to the electrician, cut off
both the return and supply valves
to No. boiler in addition to
cutting the electricity. This left
No. / boiler sealed with fire still
burning in the furnace be-
meath 1t.
The safety valve was frozen,
therefore No. / boiler blew up
when the heat and pressure be-
came too great.
"The sole and proximate
cause of the explosion, the court
finds, was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
by law imputable by law to the
owner" said Judge Bryan.
He declared that he also found
the owner negligent for dele
eating so much responsibility to
a janitor who was illiterate and
whose only previous experience
had been firing boilers by hand
in a. tobacco factory.

MckeIdin 10 Name
Fourth Republican 10
Planning Unit Soon

A gubernatorial appointment
to the Maryland National Capital
Park and Planning Commission,
which will give the Republicans
a 4-to-2 majority for the first
time in the commissions history
is expected early next week,
party leaders said today.
Prince Georges County Repub-
lican leaders have "quite a num-
Der OF people" considered for the
81 ,800-a-year planning commits
sion post, according to Sheriff
Carleton G. Beall, chairman of
the County Republican State
Central Committee.
To Fill Watkins Vacancy.
The opening on the commission
comes as a result of the death
last July 8 of Robert M. Watkins,
commission chairma n and a
Democrat. Carleton Pyles, Silver
Hill auto dealer. has been elected
the first Republican chairman of
the commission, to succeed Mr..
Watkins.
Party regulars said yesterday
the field of candidates is being
narrowed. The eventual APP
pointee evidently will be the
choice Of both Mr.. Beall's and
State Senator John r. Fletcher's
sides of the party. Republican
spokesman said.
Among those being considered
is William r. "Huck' Hughes,
a member of the House of Dele
gates and a Hyattsville real
estate man: George Cook, Uni
versity Park food broker: Sher-
man Hollingsworth, real estate
man from University Park, and
John N. Torvestad, an attorney.
and mayor of the town of Col
mar Manor.
Committee Names Choice.
According to political prece-
dent, Gov. McKeldin will appoint
the candidate recommended by
the State Central Committee
after due elaboration by COM
mitteemen ION every man who
is interested in the job" said
Mr.. Beall.
Although party politics play
little or no part in much OF the
commissions day-to-day BUSH,
ness, the Republican majority
will be in a strong position to
reflect State administration poll
icy on parks and highways. The
new lineup will have two Repub-
licans to one Democrat on both
the Prince Georges and Mont
gomery County sides of the COM
mission. Members were split
3-to-3 by parties before Mr..
Watkins death.

Survey Praises
Health Staff
InAIexandria
Report Is Final
One in Series on
City Departments

Alexandria'S Health Depart
ment is praised as a well-run
agency with competent; leader
ship and alert personnel in a
report by the Government Con-
sulting Service OF the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania made pub
lie today.
The report is the eighth and
final one ON departments in the
city by the GCS, which is con-
Quoting a survey of Alexandria S
Government operations. An
overall analysis of city admin
istration still is to be released.
The Health Department re-
port was the most complimentary
of any departmental analysis
compiled by the surveyors. The
report recommends, however,
that the department needs to
expand its personnel and sug-
gests that the health officer
should be appointed by the city
manager instead Of by the. City
Council. Thomas F. McGough
currently is health officer.
Working Conditions Good.
The report states that work
ing atmosphere and staff CO.
operativeness in the department
are outstandingly fine. All staff
appear to know their jobs" The
manner and speed in which
reports are completed in the
department are particularly
praised.
Other separate recommended
tions for making the Health De-
partment more efficient include
the following:
1. Consider changing the Board
of Health composition, to pro-
vide for appointment of board
members by the city manager
with consent of council, to SUBJ
Stitute lay members for all pres
ent city officials on the board,
and to eliminate all administra-
tive powers the board now is
given by the code.
2. Create a new high-level
staff position of health analyst
in the department, to give gen.
eral assistance to the health
officer. and appoint the necessary
clerical help to assist the new
analyst.
Nursing Supervisor Needed.
8. Appoint a supervisor of
nurses to relieve the director
of nurses of detailed supervisory
duties. Appoint three additional
public health nurses.
4. Appoint least one addi-
tional sanitarian.
5. Consider appointment of a
health educator.
6. Consider the feasibility of
assuming greater responsibility
for maternal and child health
services and tuberculosis and We
nereal disease clinical services.
z. Consider the preparation of
a housing code for the city and
clarity the respective functions
relative to housing of the Health
Department and of the Depart
ment of Construction and In
Spection.
8. Consider the establishment
OF a Health Council-an autono-
nous body t opromote commu-
nifty health and create an in
diligently informed body of pub
lie support for the Health De-
partment's program.

LIBRARY NOTES
Book On Father Sierra
Directed At Teen-Agers
From the Department Of Library Science
College Of St. Mary Of the Springs

Father Jvnipero Sierra, by Ivy Boil
ton; Mesner Inc, New York,
s2.75.
Told in a manner as simple and
appealing as the life of Father Ser
ra, this story is based on historical
volumes, including the Friar's di-
airy. Father Junipero Sierra was a
great saint, who wished from child
hood to serve God as missionary.
Conquering all opposition to his
vocation, the little lame Franciscan
also conquered the wilderness and
thousands of souls in California
with gentleness and patience. Here
is history, adventure and political
intrigue. After years Of labor, the
white mans greed brought war,
but Father Sierra, loved by the In
dians. began again his laborS. The
language is directed at girls and
boys in their early teens, but as
did this reviewer, you may find
the entire family reading the book.
