Hetzer State Chairman
Of Maryland Democrats
BY the Assoeioted Press

BALTIMORE. Jan. 19.-Mary-
lands Democratic organization
had a chairman today for the
first time in almost a year and
even the bitter rivals in a sharp
ening duel for the gubernatorial
nomination agreed the choice
was a good one.
c. William Hetzer, 43-year-old
Hagestown contractor who lives
in Williamsport. landed the job
at one of the State Central Com
mittee's infrequent meetings
yesterday.
Mr.. Hetzer, a newcomer to the
party's high echelon, was named
to succeed the late Robert B. En-
mis- without a contest.
His jump from craftsmanship
of the Washington County COM
mittee to top rung in the entire
State organization prompted
George P Mahoney and DR.. H.
C. Byrd to drop their political
feud for the time being and ap-
plaud his selection.

$50 Soldiers Size Up
Proposed 'NewL Look
In Army Uniforms
By Joseph Byrnes
Stor Stoff Correspondent

FORT MEADE, Jan. 10.-Three
hundred and fifty rugged-looking
soldiers attended fashion show
here today but there wasn't a
single wolf whistle.
The models were three officers
and three enlisted men, who gave
the troops a preview of what
they will be wearing 18 months
from now.
The ensembles shown, one or
more of which the well-dressed
fighting man of the future will
wear, were new uniforms the
Army Quartermaster Corps has
been testing the last two years.
They are pink and green uni
form for enlisted men, a dupli-
cate of the dress togs worn by
officers in World War II. and a
completely new gray-green out
At.
Also shown was a uniform for
officers and enlisted men in the
old-fashioned olive drab which
included an Eisenhower jacket
instead of the current regulation
o. D. blouse.
AS far as the pink and green
and the new grey-green uni
forms are concerned. both will
be cut and tailored exactly alike
for officers and enlisted men.
The only difference between
them. and apparent only on close
inspection, is that the officers
uniform will be made of elias
tique cloth and the enlisted
mems will be tailored in serge.
The new gray-green uniform
has been worn for the last "a
months by members of the Sd
Infantry stationed at Fort Myer.
Va. In addition to its clean-cut
lines, the experimental suit is
decorated for ratings with tarn-
ish proof gold colored nylon
chevronS. With the gray-grcen
outfit goes a newly-styled en-
listed mems garrison cap very
similar to that worn by officers
during World War II
A picture slide of still another
uniform was shown the audi-
ence. It is a dark blue dress
uniform which officers have
worn for several years. Recently,
however. the Army has permit
ted enlisted men to wear a du-
plicate of this outfit if thev care
to buy it with their own funds.
Today's fashion show is part of
a worldwide series being con-
Quoted to determine the troops
preference in the way of new
uniform. After the showing a
QUESTIONABLE was given each
enlisted man and officer on which
he denoted his choice. The Army
Quartermaster Corps hopes to
have the poll completed for the
Army, Reserve and National
Guard by April /.

Youth Accused
Of Extorting Boy S
Cash for Months

A 15-year-old colored youth
with a nickname of "Junebaby'
and a record of 10 offenses since
1948 has admitted extorting be-
tween 81 and 81 weekly from q
younger boy since last. June po-
lice reported today.
The victim, a 13-year-o1d col
ored boy, finally revealed his
story to his mother after telling
her he was afraid to go to school
The mother told police that she
had known nothing Of the ex-
tortion until the boy refused to
go to school.
She learned then that his fear
was based on his failure to get
the So payment demanded by the
extortionist.
The victim told police he had
been paying since last June on
threats of. being beaten. Pay
mentS. he said, sometimes
amounted to as much as 81.
His record. according to police
included three petty larcenies
three housebreakings, two rob-
berries, one assault and one case
OF assault with a dangerous
weapon and destroying private
property.

Gets Backing
.0fFerguson
Citizen's Group Told
Similar System Is
Success in Michigan
By John v. Horner

Legislation for a separate
Family Court in Washington
will have the potent backing
of Senator Ferguson, Republi-
can. of Michigan.
The administration leader
threw his support behind the
pending bill while addressing a
group Of District citizens yes
terday.
He told the citizens a some
what similar system in Wayne
County. Mich. has proved sue
cessful and probably has saved
taxpayers there a large amount
of money.
Senator Ferguson. a former
judge in Wayne County, spoke
at q meeting called by Chief
Judge Bolitha j. Laws of the
u S. District Court for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Judge Laws
is one of the principal support
ers of the Family Court pro-
poSal.
Lawyer Opposition Heard.
The bill pending in Congress
was introduced last week by Sen
ator Case and Representative
Simpson. .chairmen of the Sem
ate and House District Commit
tees.
Not all of those attending yes
terday's meeting agreed with
Senator Ferguson and Judge
Laws. The brunt of the attack
on the proposed legislation was
carried by ROLAND Lamensdorf.
an attorney. who read state
ment for members of the Do
mestic Relations Committee of
the District Bar Association.
The bar committee objects to
the creation of a separate court.
1t contends domestic relations
matters can be handled ade-
quately by District Court. if three
NaQOltlOnal Judges are appointed.
Sees Lawyers Pleased.
Mr.. Lamensdorf also asserted
it is not necessary to create a
separate court to employ staff
workers who would help effect
reconciliations in broken families.
Senator Ferguson said lawyers
seldom favor interference with
matters they handle" but he
assured the bar that, If the sys-
tenn was changed, as proposed.
the lawyers never would want
to go back to the old system.
DR.. Albert Cross. director of
social welfare for the District
Federation of Churches. reported
his organization indorses the bill.
Attorney j. Edward Bindeman
also backed it in a statement.

Woman, IS, on Stretcher
Files for Naturalization

A 85-year-old Washington
woman today was carried on a
stretcher into the U. S. District
Court for the District Of Colum-
bia to file second papers for nat
uralization.
Mrs. Eugenia j. Maktos of 705
Eighteenth street NV, was
brought in by members of the
Bethesda Chevy Chase Rescue
Squad. She is suffering from the
effects of a pneumonia attack.
Mrs. Maktos is a native of
Macedonia. She lives with her
son, John Maktos, an attorney
with the State Department. She
came to this country in 1920.
Mr.. Maktos said his mother had
long desired American citizen

English. Recently naturalization
laws were eased somewhat in
their application to persons over

Husband Cries in Court.
Mrs. Humphrey, mother of

band. Sergt. 1/c Robert A.
Humphrey. cried harder in court
than she did. He returned from
Japan on an emergency fur
Tough after her arrest the day
after the holdup.
Dickerson did not testify. But
she did. trying to clear her.
self, and blaming everything on
her co-defendant.
The woman's lawyer, James
M Pugh, called Dickerson "a
smart, fox-like, cunning and
treacherous criminal"
Mr.. Pugh argued that "this
little girl" was helpless when "a
big brute comes along like Dick
erson and rushed her off her
feet"
The four women and eight
men jurors were told by Sergt.
Lloyd Whalen, Montgomery
County detective, that Mrs.
Humphrey told police Dickerson
informed her beforehand that
they were driving to the loan
office Ito hold the place up."
Judge Convinced.
Judge Stedman Prescott told
her he had no doubt she knew
she was in on a holdup.
I'm thoroughly convinced you
did the same thing on other oc-
casions." he declared. And you
probably still would be doing it
If you hadn't been caught"
The Judge said she was get
ting off with eight years because
she had no prior record and be-
cause she probably would not
have turned criminal if she
hadn't become infatuated with

Case Welcomes Burke
To District Committee

Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee yesterday
sent a special letter of welcome
to Senator Burke, Democrat, of
Ohio, on his assignment to the
District group.
Senator Case said he was
gratified that the committee
could have "a man so emine~ tly
we'll qualified" as the Ohio
freshman, who has served nine
years as mayor of Cleveland.
Chairman Case directed the
committee staff to supply the
Ohioan with bills and reports on
the numerous problems facing
Washington. He mentioned the
current transit investigation, the
proposed $305 million public
works program and the bill to
give Washington an elected To-
cal government.
District subcommittee assign
ments for Senator Burke will be
made by February 2, the first
regular meeting of the full COM
mittee.

WhoS TO Kun u!
|WoIfson Plan for D. c. Transit
Differs From Other Systems

In Cleveland, the transit SyS-
tenn had a favorable money mar
ket. It sold SITS million in
bonds at 3 per cent. Later it
refinanced those still unpaid at
~ per cent. The bonds were
revenue bonds but were secured
by a lien on the property. The
$29.5 million RFC loan Is at 4
per cent.
In Chicago, the purchase price
was $87,162.500. The authors
tvs bonds are secured only by
the revenue Of the property.
Before last year. the interest
rates ranged from 3A to 35s per
cent. Equipment trust certif1-
Gates, secured by mortgage on
the equipment purchased with
the proceeds, have been mar
keted at 3la per cent.
Last year the authority f1oated
a $23 million bond issue at time
when interest rates were rising.
The Az per cent bonds had to
be sold at a discount. making
the interest rate about Al per
cent.
These bonds are tax-free. So
would be the $50 million in rev.
enue bonds proposed to be issued
to the present owners of the
Washington area properties un-
der Mr.. Wolfson's plan. Those
bonds would bear S per cent
interest.
If Cleveland and Chicago were
to be taken as models for a
Washington transit authority.
the procedure would appear to
be this: The authority would sell
it's bonds on the market and
pay off the present owners.
Judging by Cleveland and Chi
cago experience the bonds would
pay less than per cent interest.
But that. Of course, would de-
pend on the. state Of the money
market.
The present owners would
have no right to representation
o nthe Washington authority's
board because they had owned
the properties. The authority
would engage a general manager
and other executives to run the
property.
