lion suit charging him with plan
ming to break up another mans

ter from Mr.. Bunker's attorney,
Clarence w. Miles, to Attorney

The petitions said Mr.. Bunker

Appeals Court Denies
ChristoffeI Review

The U. S. Court of Appeals for
the District Of Columbia today
declined again to review the per-
jury conviction of Harold R
Christoffel, former official of q
United Auto Workers local.
Christoffel was convicted OF
falsely denying he was a Com
munist or a supporter of commu-
nism in testimony before the
House Labor Committee.
He was sentenced to serve 2 TO
6 years under the District per-
jury statute. Last year the Su-
preme Court ordered him re-
sentenced under Federal stat
utes. He was then given 16
months to four years.
In an appeal brief which led
to today's action, defense attor-
ney David Rein charged among
other things that the indictment
was vague. especially as to the
meaning of communism" But
the appellate court, pointing out
that the case had been twice
submitted to it on appeal and
has been before the Supreme
Court, held that the errors al
legged by the defense we're not Of
the kind which, under the cir
cumstances, I'VE ought. now to

.Carper-TayIor Trial
Scheduled June 7

Federal Judge Richmond B.
Keech today set June z as the
date for the trial of suspended
Police 1t. H. H. Carper and his
former aide, Sergt. William L.
Taylor. on narcotics conspiracy
and bribery charges.
In setting the date, the judge
overruled a motion by defense
attorneys Myron G. Ehrlich and
Joseph Sitnick who had asked an
indefinite continuance.
The motion had been made on
the theory that because of wide
spread publicity, a fair trial
would be impossible for some
time to come. But Judge Keech
brushed this contention aside
with the opinion that a fair trial
is possible with a properly Sc
lected" jury.
The case had been set for May
26. but the juriSt named the
later date because a new jury
panel is called around that time
and would be available without
undue hardship If the trial is a
long one.
Still pending with dates unset
are the trials Of Carper alone
and Carper and Randolph (Cat-
fish) Turner, former narcotics
ringleader, on bribery and con-
spiracy charges. One count of
the six-count indictment against
Carper and Taylor was dismissed
by Judge Keech.

Heating Plant Worker
Slides 10 Death in
Shaft Of Furnace

Nearly three hours after he
fell unobserved into a 40-foot
shaft leading to a furnace boiler,
an employe Of the Central
Heating Plant was pulled out
dead today.
Rescue teams working with
Acetylene torches failed to reach
Joseph B Wood, about IS, COL
ored, in time.
He apparently fell into the
hopper into which he had been
shoveling coal for one Of the fur
naces of the plant at Twenty
ninth and K streets NV. The
hopper feeds coal into a chute
leading to the furnace and the
victim apparently was suffocated
by coal which fell in after him.
The search began at $40 am.
when Mr.. Woods absence was
first noted. When last observed,
he had begun chopping away at
coal around the hopper with a
pick.
Fearing the "coal pusher' had
fallen into the opening of the 18-
inch round tube, other workmen
began cutting holes into the tube
with a torch. They were joined
soon by Rescue Squad No. /.
Hole after hole was cut with
out reaching the doomed man.
Finally, just before 8 an, he
was found not far from the fur
mace. and q short time later the
man was pulled out. -
The accident was the first Of
its kind at the plant. which fur
nishes heat for Government
buildings.

$50 0Idsters in Rush
To Set Displays for
Hobby Show Tonight
By Fronk SortweII, Jr.

"Old" Washington, $50 strong,
descended on the Commerce De-
partment lobby today like a troop
Of Boy Scouts.
They came to set up displays
Of their handiwork for the
Golden Age Hobby Show which
opens at 8 o'clock tonight.
Impatience marked the day.
The exhibitors, told to arrive at
10 am, began showing up be-
fore 8.
The displays went up in the
lobby under signs reading life
Begins at go" and "It's Never Too
Late to Create"
Aged but Eager Artists.
The oldsters filled the lobby
and poured down the halls in
side the auditorium. In the hall
where paintings were hung, a
39-year-old building guard had
trouble avoiding being run over
by eager artists between go
and 90.
A codger of 72 rushed up to
his neighboring exhibitor, slipped
open a sketchbook and said:
"There's one of nv girls. I
draw a lot of girls. I think girls
have everything"
you're telling me-" said the
other, who Is nearly II.
"It's no particular girl, just a
girl" explained the first.
Exhibits going up today in
cluded woodwork, needlework,
models, dolls, photography. weav-
ing, genealogy and collections of
almost every collectible-such as
stamps, shells, jewelry, scrap
books, bells and coins.
Many Added Starters.
Volunteers from the District

creased with the number of
added starters - people who
showed up complete with hob
bies but without prior registra-
ton for a space allotment. They
were Shoehorned in.
At tonight's opening, the ex-

County Denies
Yater'C|inic's
Rezoning.P|ea
Residents Win Fight
To Bor Building on
Chevy Chase Site

The Montgomery County Board
Of Appeals today denied an ap-
plication for a zoning exception
that would have permitted con-
struction Of a two-story Office
type building to house the Yater
Clinic. The proposed site is at
Wisconsin and Dorset avenues at
the entrance to Somerset.
The boards decision was VIC
tory for residents Of Somerset,
Chevy Chase Village and Drum
mond who had bitterly opposed
the application for the building
at that location. The clinics
present address is 1901 K street
NV.
Although the written opinion
on the denial has not yet been
made public. it was reported the
board had found the clinic would
have had an adverse effect on
surrounding residential property
values and would have created
a traffic problem at the inter-
section.
Plans Faults Cited
The board also said the appli-
cants had not provided adequate
plans for shielding Somerset
homes from an 88-car parking
lot in the rear of the clinic. Also
cited as a reason for denial was
the failure of the clinic site to
have a 200-foot frontage on one
street.
The Dorset Corporation,
headed by Donal L. Chamberlin,
developer Of the nearby Ken
wood subdivision, had applied
for zoning exception to permit
construction of the proposed So
by los foot structure.
The Yater Clinic decided to
move to the Chevy Chase area
to solve its need for parking
space and additional Office facil-
itieS. Clinic spokesmen, however.
had indicated they were not
eager to move into an area where
they were not wanted.
Lost Earlier Plea.
Mr.. Chamberlin earlier this
year had lost a bid for CONNER
cial rezoning of the 44,111 square
foot tract. At hearings on the
application for a zoning excep-
ton he had said no residential
homes had been built on Wiscon-
sin avenue between the District
line and Bradley boulevard in
the last IS years.
The Somerset Council had led
the fight against the Dorset Cor
poration and had charged that
granting the application would
lead to the commercia1iZation of
the Wisconsin avenue stretch.
At a lengthy public hearing
last March Is more than 100
residents of the area turned out
to oppose Mr.. Chamberlin's
request.

plan for the approaching fiscal

A majority of the federation's

poSal to trim about 81 million
from the capital budget. The cut
was suggested on grounds the
entire building program cannot
start in the next fiscal year.
A minority report of the fed

of the capital budget. The cuts
would allow funds for planning
for two big junior high schools,
