In ScaffoId Death and
Injury in Alexandra

Judgments totaling $19,341
have been awarded against an
Alexandria painting contractor
as a result of an accident last
November when two of his en-
ployes fell from a scaffold, kill
ing one and seriously injuring
the other.
The contractor, r. B. Joyner,
of 406 Russell road, did not ap-
pear in Alexandria Corporation
Court yesterday to defend the
case. His wife said Mr.. Joyner
was unaware he was supposed to
be in court because he thought
the case had been settled.
Father Hurt; Son Killed.
The accident occurred at the
Alexandria School Board Build
ing in the 400 block of South
Washington street. George
Broughman. Is. Of 407 Prince
street, Alexandria. died as q re-
suit Of the fall, and his father,
William, Al. suffered back in

the ground when the scaffolding
broke. police said.
The jury awarded Mr.. and
Mrs. Broughman approximately
$4,000 for their sons death,
and Mr.. Broughman was award
ed $4.439 for his injuries.
Contractor Sole Defendant.
The Alexandria School Board
and the owner Of the Scaffold
originally were named defend
ants, in the suit, together with
Mr.. Joyner. The School Board
and the scaffold owner, how
ever, were dismissed as defend
ants, and the Judgment was re-
turned solely against Mr.. Joyner,
who was the contractor assigned
to paint the building.
The court said Mr.. Joyner was
served notice of the suit when
it was filed in February and had
81 days to file an answer. The
court said he made no appear
ance and filed no answer.
Mrs. Joyner said her husband
understood the case had been
settled a week ago. She said he
had not employed counsel.

Liquor Trade Plans
To Orient Legion 5
Visitors on Drinking

Plans to indoctrinate the thou
sands Of visitors expected here
during the August convention of
the American Legion to the
liquor regulations of the District
have been completed.
All segments of the beverage
industry met yesterday and
settled details of an information
program to keep the convention
goers from running afoul of the
law. The suggestion for the
program came recently from Alan
w. Payne, chairman of the Dis
trict Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board.
The liquor industry leaders
agreed to distribute 5000 signs,
to be posted in all places selling
alcoholic beverages. They also
agreed to distribute 10000 leaf
lets. to be made available in
establishments and in hotel
rooms.
The special District regulations
that confuse visitors apparently
are those requiring persons to
sit at q table to be served liquor
and forbidding customers to
stand while drinking or to carry
drinks from one table to another.
