18 Deputy Marsha|s
Face Discip|ining on
Gratuify Charges
u
By Joseph B. Byrnes

Justice Department officials
today are awaiting replies from
18 deputy. United States mar
shals charged with accepting
cash gratuities for expediting
service of legal papers.
Those sent the notices we're
deputies who allegedly served
writs of replevin for return of
merchandise in default of time
payments.
! All recipients of the notices,
mailed from the office of S. A.
Andretta, in charge of marshals
throughout the Nation, were as
| signed to the civil branch Of
Municipal Court.
| A Justice Department spokes-
man said he could not comment
on the charges received by 18
of the IS deputies assigned to
the court, since that would vio-
late civil service regulations.
However, he said, any COM
mentator would be on safe
ground" if he speculated that
the charges involved the taking
of "tips" to expedite service Of
| the possession writs from certain
merchants.
448 Writs Served in 1853.
Court records show 448 such
writs actually were served dur
ing 1858. No figures were i'm
! mediately available on the num-
ber of unsuccessful attempts to
serve writs.
w. Bruce Matthews, United
States marshal for the District,
was noncommittal.
He stressed he had nothing
whatever to do with the lengthy
investigation leading to charges
against the Is and said he had
no intention of taking any action
in the matter.
"I am going to do nothing as
long as the Department of
Justice is investigating" Mr.
Matthews said.
He also said he had not the
slightest idea" which of his
subordinates have received the
letters mailed earlier this week.
The Justice Department
spokesman made it clear. that
no criminal charges have been
made so far. He said the letters
sent were administrative in ma
ture and notified the recipients
they had violated regulations
governing the conduct of deputy
marshalS.
The action, he added, is q
Civil Service Commission func-
ton, brought by the Justice De-
partment, and that civil service
regulations will apply.
If those receiving the notices
cannot answer the accusations
satisfactorily within five days,
they will be suspended, he as
serted.
| Other alternatives include the
acceptance of designations, COM
plete exoneration, suspension for
a further hearing and outright
dismissal.
Heard of No Complaint.
Mr.. Matthews. a $10.000-a-
year Truman political appointee.
said he had orders not to speak
about any case involving his
Office in which the Justice De-
partment was concerned.
He added, however, that he
had never received or heard Of a
complaint about "tips" for serv-
ice concerning members of his
Office until the FBI made the
accusations against his under
lings.
IT have not given specific in
structions to all Of my men in
dividually," Mr.. Matthews de-
clared. But the marshals' man
ual torbids the acceptance OF
| gratuitieS Of any kind"

Addresses Shift
Tomorrow in

Post Office. CIorifies
Zone Notice to
Maryland Residents

Several thousand Bethesda and
Chevy Chase houses change
street numbers tomorrow, and a
few street names will be changed.
The change comes just after
some residents there got the err
roneouS impression they would
also have to list their addresses
as being in the District rather
than In Maryland.
The address swap was decreed
q month ago by the Maryland
National Capital Park and Plan
mig Commission to fit the two
communities into the metropoli-
tan area grid system.
Someone now living at, say,
289 Jones street may find him
self at $3.50 Jones street.
He must change his letter.
heads, auto registration, insur-
ance policies and all sorts of
records. Mailmen will continue
delivering old-address letters to
the new addresses for an indefl-
mite period, however.
Post Office Notice.
The further complication of
District VS.. Maryland addresses
was caused by a Washington
Main Post Once postcard sent
out recently, urging the use of
postal zone numbers in return
addresses.
Postmaster Roy M. North said
the cards went to every address
served by the main post office.
He said it was coincidence the
cards arrived in Bethesda and
Chevy Chase when those COM
munities already faced the con-
fusion of amending their ad-
dresses because of the planners
order.
Chevy Chase and Bethesda are
branches of the Washington
main Office, although located in
the State Of Maryland.
The Post Office wants resi-
dents of those communities Gas
well as several others) to desig-
nate their mail addresses as
Washington IA, D. c.. or Wash
ington IS, D. c., as the zone
might be.
Examples of ZOning.
Mail formerly received at the
address of Ill Smith street,
Chevy Chase. Md.
:. should be addressed, under
the suggested system, to Ill
Smith street, Washington IS,
D. CT. a4
or to Ill Smith street,
Chevy Chase, Nd, Washington
is, D. c.
Even with no zone number
and no mention of Washington,
mail will be delivered. But it
will help insure speedy service If
at least the postal zone is in
cluded, Mr.. North said.
If the zone is not in the ad-
dress. an inexperienced mail
clerk might have to look it up,
possibly delaying delivery.
And if no mention Of Wash
ington is made, mail clerk
elsewhere might toss a Bethesda
or Chevy Chase letter in bag
bound for a Maryland post Office
rather than a District one.

DC. Faces $5Mi||ior
Charge on Housing
Crimina||y Insane

The District may have to pay
about rs per cent of the cost
of q proposed new ST million
maximum security" building at
St. Elizabeth's Hospital.
This prospect emerged today
from Congressional considera-
ton Of the hospitals annual ap-
preparation bill for the next
fiscal year, beginning July /.
The security building. long
needed for care of the criminally
insane, is not carried in the new
hospital budget under study by
both House and Senate Appro-
priations subcommittee.
But as a result of further
studies of the need for such a
building, and proposals for the
District to share heavily in its
cost, a revised section of the
budget is to be submitted next
week to the Senate Subcommit-
tee.
James F. Kelly, budget officer
of the Department of Health,
Education and Welfare. which
has jurisdiction over the hos
pital. explained this. following
the Senate subcommittee hear
ing yesterday on the institutions S
estimates.
Based on Patients.
The present budget language
provides that the District Gov
ernment be required to share in
the cost Of any new major re-
pairs and improvements to ex-
isting buildings and construction
of new buildings on a proper
tional basis.
Under this plan. the city would
pay a share commensurate with
the number of District INDECENT
patients at the hospital. This
year, the city's patients are about
IS per cent of the total.
Because the District might be
faced with paying heavy lump
sums for capital outlay at the
hospital, conferences have been
held recently between officials
of the Welfare Department, the
hospital and the District to see
what could be done.
AS explained by Mr.. Kelly,
these officials reached an agree
ment on the type Of proposal
that would be feasible for the
District. 1t would require that
the city bear the proportionate
share of costs but would pay over
a number of years, instead of in
a big lump sum.
Starting Funds Possible.
New language implementing
this agreement will be submitted
next week to the Senate SUBJ
committee, Mr.. Kelly said.
Also, it was learned. some
money may be recommended for
plans and specifications to make
a start on the security building,
The amount of this sum was not
disclosed.
The city share of repairing
and building new structures at
st. Elizabeths would be added
to its costs of more than 50 mill
lion a year for the care of in
digent patients.
Larger Payment Forecast.
During the current year end
ing June 80. the estimates be-
fore the Senate subcommittee
show the District is paying about
SO. .480, 900 for patient care and,
next fiscal year. is expected to
pay about $9.677, 900. Part of
this increase. according to testi-
mony yesterday before the COM
mittee by DIR. Winfred Over
holser, hospital superintendent,
would be accounted for by a pro-
posed 7-cent increase per patient
day. The District this year is
paying $4.90 a day for each
patient in the institution.
