Justice of the Peace Shepherd
confirmed the FRIDAY night re-
quest for a warrant. He said Mr..
Schultz complained about the
window breaking and told Mr..
Shepherd that ''he was going to
kill Clark if he came back out
there"
Mr.. Shepherd said he asked
what had been done about pre-
viouS warrants about a year ago
and last summer and Mr..
Schultz said he wasn't sure what
the court had done about Clark.
Mr.. Shepherd said he didn't
think Mr.. Schultz had much of a
complaint in connection with
the rock throwing and that he
viewed the thing as a feud that
had been going on for two years.
He said he advised Mr.. Schultz
to see Judge Fitzgerald and find
out what had been done to Clark
and to get warrant in Fairfax
if possible.
Capt. James M. Mahoney of
the Fairfax police said he was
told that Mrs. Schultz had
threatened to get a warrant for
Clark's arrest if Clark didn't
leave her alone and that Clark
had replied on Friday night, "If
you do I'll kill every one of you. Z"
Police learned after the kill
ings where Clark had gotten the
shotgun. Sergt. Cecil Brown of
the Fairfax police said James e.

Utz, At, another Alexandria cab
driver who lives at 416 South Lee

Although police listed Clark's
address as 7l9 South Fairfax

parents, Edward and Mary
Clark. lived there. He was a

The neighbors said Clark was
an Air Force veteran of World
War II and had showed them
two German Luger pistols he
had brought home as souvenirs.
They were almost unanimous in
describing him as a quiet type.
No one was home at the
Fairfax street address earlier

Mr.. Byron said there was no
chance the plant would reopen
until Mr.. Goetz returns. He
added that no decision on the fu-

together in the plant.
Mr.. Byron disputed the take

weavers and quillers and receive
weekly wages averaging $50 to

WILLIAMSPORT, Md, Jan. 9.
Strikers continue to picket
the Federal Silk Mills plant here
even though the plant owner has
announced an indefinite shut
down.
The strike is in its 18th day
today. It was. touched off by
failure of the plant owner, David
Goetz, to pay the usual Christ
mas bonus. The bonus would
have averaged about $50 a per-
son.
Nearly 400 residents of this
town of 1900 and it's adjoining
area normally work at the mill.
The workers have already begun
to feel the pinch of a basic eco
nomic fact, mo work, no pay"
Applications for unemployment
compensation benefits have been
filed but they will be forwarded
to Baltimore for a ruling as to
whether the strikers are eligible
for benefits. The law rules out
benefits for workers. involved in
an economic dispute.
But the workers are apparently
banking on the fact that the So
year-old plant owner announced
the shutdown.
Determined to Hold Out.
Picketers said they are deter
mined to hold out. They said the
bonus issue was simply the spark
to long list of grievances.
To the picketers the continued
patrol at a shutdown plant
seemed neither futile nor mean
ingleSs.
Hes (Mr. Goetz) going to
try to move those trucks out of
here one of these days" a work
er said. pointing to two big vans
parked at the loading platform.
When he does we're going to
stop him"
The workers voted 213-to-99
last June for a union, the United
Textile Workers of America,
CIO. Mr.. Goetz challenged the
election and the National Labor
Relations Board has withheld
certification of the union pend
ing disposition of the challenge.
Mr.. Goetz earlier announced a
poor profit year" had prevented
the usual bonus payment.
Owner Is Accused.
The violence which flared
earlier this week makes Jesse
Shank. trial magistrate, middle
man in the dispute. He holds
IA warrants bearing assorted
charges against Mr.. Goetz and
some of the plant workers.

Citizens Prod
Congress on
Aid 10 District
Ask Comparison
On Toxes Here With
Those Paid in States

The Federation of Citizens
Associations last night took a
new approach to getting a higher
Federal payment to the District
budget.
It asked Congress to investi-
gate the amount of taxes paid by
each District resident, compared
to that paid by residents Of
States.
The action came after bitter
parliamentary fight at a meeting
in the District Building Board
Room.
Such an investigation, the citi-
zens said. might cure 1.-The. basic
maladjuStment which stems from
misconception on the part of
Congressman and their constitu-
ents" on the District taxpayers
share in maintaining the Cap
ital.
Inequities Growing.
If the residents of the States
learn of the crisis in public
works and budgetary problems
impending here, the federation
said, they would insist on action
to correct 1.-The inequities which
have been growing with the rap
idity of a SNOWFALL"
The resolution also stated that
Maryland and Virginia do not
pay their fair share on bridges
and sewer systems here which
benefit them.
The amendment calling for
the congressional. investigation
was tackled on to one backing in
principle the public works pro-
gram only after President Joseph
A. Kaufman cast a tie-break-
ing vote. A ruling by Mr.. Kauf-
mann that he could vote was
appealed to the group, and up
held.
In support Of the inveStiga-
ton. members pointed out that
the District budget is carried in
the Federal budget-with no
reference to the fact that Dis
trict citizens put almost as
much money into the Treasury
as is spent here.
Higher Taxes Paid Here.
The small size OF the Federal
payment in years past has made
necessary the public works pro-
gram here, the federation said.
Past surveys have borne out
that the average District resident
pays more money in taxes than
the average resident in many
States.
Chairman Case of the Senate
District Committee last year told
the federation that no legislator
could explain voting a higher
Federal payment if his consCitu-
ents pay more taxes than Dis
trict residents.

Along The
POTOMAC
BY Dewitt S. Hyde

WASHINGTON. - President
Eisenhower has delivered a sharp
answer to his critics who say his
Administration is either too lib.
eral or too conservative: 1t is
neither.
Prompted by reporters ques.
ton, the President said his gov
eminent is liberal in dealing with
individuals but conservative in
economic and money matters. His
liberal policy toward individ-
uals means encouraging their
widest participation in setting
policies. Farmers, for instance,
can attest to this because a great
many of them were members of
his national agricultural advisory
commission which helped write
the new farm program.
His conservative" policies in
economics and finance, he said,
are best shown by his new budget.
Former presidents have sought to
increase the government debt at
faster rates in order to accom-
plish their program. He has cut
expenses two years in row, and
is working toward the day when
the budget will be balanced. At
the moment, the rush into further
debt has been slowed, and taxes
have come down, too.
Two other conservative" atti-
tudes of the new Administration
have impressed ME. In his hous-
ing programs, the President has
called for an experiment" He
wants to give the FILA authority
to- insure long.term loans of
modest amounts with low down
payments so the many poorly
housed, low-income families can
begin buying homes, instead of
having to rent them in federally
owned projects.
This puts the government right
where it should be-promoting,
not replacing, more private own
ership.
The same is true of Mr.. Eisen-
hower's health insurance pro.
gram. He said, II am fatty op-
posed to socialized medicine" l
think we can take his word for
that. Instead of a compulsory
health insurance program (Which
would inevitably turn into tax
supported, soclalized medical
care), he has asked for backing
of the private health insurance
