Craven Able
To Stand Trial

Three psychiatrists who ex-
amined 22-year-old Charles Earl
Craven today reported that he
is able to stand trial for the
double murder of his grandpar-
entS in Alexandria in March.
The psychiatrists. in a report
to Alexandria Corporation Court
Judge William P. Woolls, de-
clared Craven had a mental
deficiency" and was "emotionally
unstable" But they found he
understood the nature of the
murder charges against him and
said he was at present able to
stand trial and cooperate in his
own defense.
The psychiatrists said their
examination showed Craven did
have a tendency to sudden i'm
pulsive behavior under emo
tional stress. -"
Judge Woolls said a trial date
would be set at the beginning of
the June court term.
Craven is charged with the
brutal double Staying Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ernest C. Craven, whose
bodies were found in the kitchen
of their Alexandria apartment on
March IL. They had been dead
more than 10 days. Craven was
arrested in Florida about a week
after discovery of the bodies, and
Alexandria police said he con-
fessed stabbing his grandparents
to death when they angered him
by accusing him of taking a
wristwatch.
Craven previously had been
confined to a State feeble-minded
institution. The court ordered
pSychiatric examination before

Airport
Tax Loss Hit

Fairfax County is missing a
potential 81 million a year in
tax revenue because the Burke
airport project has failed to de-
velop. according to an estimate
presented to subcommittee of
the county's Tax Advisory Com
mittee.
The estimate was made by
Henry j. Rolls. Annandale
builder, CO. chairman of the Com
mittee for the Burke Airport.
Mr. Rolls is vice president of
the County Chamber of Com
MERGE and holds the same post
with the Northern Virginia
Builders Association.
He based his estimates on the
facilities and operation of Ma
tional Airport last year. Gross
revenues of concessions at Ma
tional in 1854, he said, were
about Sc million.
Mr.. Rolls said that although
National would continue in OPP
Grafton if the stymied Burke
project should be revived, he be-
lieved it was reasonable to as
sumo that Burke would have an
income about equal to National
last year. Air traffic, both
freight and passenger, is ex-
panding. he said, and Burke
would be able to handle more
traffic than National.
Employees Of the Burke airport
who would move to Fairfax, Mr..
Rolls said. would pay about
$175,000 in real estate taxes a
year plus about $121, 900 in per-
sonal property and $12,500 in
auto taxes. The airlines, he be-
lieves, would pay about $4,000
in personal property taxes. These
amounts '1lus State income taxes,
plus revenue from increased value
of surrounding property, Mr..
Rolls told the committee, would
total about 81 million. Fairfax
has no business tax on gross re-
ceiptS at present.
Donald L. Wilkins, chairman
of the subcommittee, said it is
unfortunately true" that the
county fails to receive from the
State a fair share of taxes paid
to the State.
Mr.. wilkins also reported that
developers of the Seven Corners
shopping center, to include
Woodward & Lothrop and Julius
Garf1nckel & Co. department
stores, may bring in more than
$4,000 in new real estate and
personal property taxes. Melpar,
Inc, near Falls Church, has
added more than $4,000 to
county revenues, Mr.. wilkins
said, and Parr Warehouse, at
Franconia, more than 500, 900.
The warehouse, leased by the
Federal Government, pays no
personal property tax.

Mr.. Rooney noted that. on the
basis of testimony four years
ago, Congress appropriated
money to buy part of the Burke
site. and asked:
What would you think if you
sat on this side of the table as
of four years ago and were told
it was matter of the highest
importance to have an additional
Washington airport and now
you find there are no immediate
plans to take care of the alleged
saturation of four years ago?"
No Plans Revealed
The Commerce official also re-
fused to be tied down on what
plans, if any. the Government
has for land already purchased
at Burke.
How much land do you have
out there in the title Of the Gov
ernment?" Mr.. Rooney asked.
Mr.. Rothschild replied, about
1850 acres. at a cost of about
81 million.

fetal added, 1T could be sold
for what it cost or more, since
there has been a considerable

Administration Airport
Plan Hit as Deferment

The administrations approach
to Washington's airport problem
has been attacked on Capitol
Hill as lust a deferment" of
the problem.
Representative Rooney, Demo-
crat. of New York took Com
merce Department officials to
task on the matter during re-
cent House Appropriations sub
committee testimony, released
today.
l. S. Rothschild, Commerce
Undersecretary. informed the
legislators of the administration
decision not to spend Federal
money for a second airport that
would take the pressure off
Washington National.
Instead, he said, q number of
stop-gap moves were proposed
to increase Washington Ma
tional's capacity, use Baltimore's
Friendship Airport to meet some
of the need, and discuss with
Washington area officials the
possibility of their putting up
some money for an eventual
new airport here.
Sees Deferment
II do not know to whom we
should be grateful for that situa-
tion,' Mr.. Rooney said, "but it
seems to me this is just a defer
ment of this problem. We were
told four years ago that it was
absolutely necessary as a safety
matter to have an additional
Washington airport that
Washington National was at a
saturation point"
The New Yorker especially
questioned the feasibility of
using Friendship for Washington
air traffic, even on a temporary
basis.
Mr.. Rothschild replied he had
studies indicating ground travel

PoIiceActtoGet
Payments for
Special Events
Many More Places
Must Be Licensed
As Public Halls.

The Police Department took
action today to get payments
for police services from more
Washington places where crowds
gather for special events.
Deputy Chief Howard v.
Covell. executive officer who
issued a new order to command
ing officers. predicted that it will
result in many more places hav-
ing to pay for police services as
well as more places faced with
the prospect of getting licenses
to operate as public halls.
At present, only three places
Griffith Stadium, Turner's Arena
and Uline Arena-are being
billed for police services at COM
mercial events.
Order to Commanders
The new order requires COM
manding officers of all precincts
to find out in advance from
owners of all premises licensed
as public halls what events are
scheduled for the following
month and how many police will
be needed.
This hist will then go to Dep
uty Chief Covell to determine
if the hall fits any of the excep-
lions to the law requiring pay
ment of police for special serv-
ices at commercial events. If
the hall doesn't fit the excep-
tons. the executive officer will
report it for billing.
The executive officer in his
order also told commanding Of
flcers:
I'm cases where details are
provided at premises which are
not licensed but which do
charge a fee for the admission
of the general public. precinct
commanders shall cause an in
vestigation to be made to ascer-
tain the reason why these prem
ises have not obtained such q
license.
Payment Required
This action shall be taken
with the view of requiring the
owners or managers to pay for
the police services provided.
Deputy Chief Covell predicted
that this investigation will prob
ably result in more places asking
for licenses or stopping their
present practice of renting out
their halls for commercial VEN
lures.
The executive officer empha-
sized that under the law, the
need for police at special events
is determined by the police chief
and is not based on a request
from the promoter of the event.

Federal Workers Eligible to Get
State JObless Benefits on Jan. |

Montgomery County residents
who are employees of the Federal
government were informed this
week by the Maryland Depart
ment of Employment Security
that, with certain minor excep-
tons, they will be covered by
the States unemployment COM
pensation program starting Jan.
1.
Extension of Unemployment In
surance to federal employees was
made possible through legislation
enacted by the 83rd Congress and
signed by the President on Sep
TENDER 1, 1854. To accomplish
this, the lawmakers added Title
XIV to the Social Security Act.
Daniel E. Klein, Employment
Security Board, Chairman, said
an agreement had been signed
with the Secretary of Labor
whereby the Department of En-,
ployment Security, as an agent
of the Secretary of Labor, will
make benefit payments to unem.
ployed federal workers. The State
Agency will make the determine.
tons of benefit eligibility and the
amount of payments, according to
the provisions of the Maryland
Unemployment Compensation
Law, in the same manner as they
are applied to workers released
from private industry.
Under this agreement, State de.
termination will be based on fed.
eral service and wages.
The only difference, Klein said
is that the Federal government
will not be a contributing en-
ployer, but will reimburse Mary
land for all benefits paid to fed
eral employees from federal
funds. Federal employees will be
paid the same benefits, under the
same conditions, as all other
workers now covered by the
Maryland Unemployment Com
pensation Law.
Agency officials estimate there
are approximately $4,000 Federal
workers employed in Maryland al
the present time. This represents
approximately 2 percent of the
2,350,000 civilians now on the fed
eral payroll.
However, not all federal EN-
ployees are eligible for unem
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1955-01-06

ployment benefits. Coverage is
restricted to civilian service per
formed for the executive, legis-
lative, or judicial branches of
government, Independent agen-
cies, or corporations wholly own
ed by the United States.
Not included in the. program
are elective officials, members of
the armed forces, foreign service
personnel, contract or fee basis
employees, dollar-a-year men, en-
Urgency or temporary employees,
those employed in American
maritime, and certain other types
of federal employment.
Federal workers terminated
from service during 1858 and
1854 and now unemployed, on or
after January 1, 1855, may ap-
ply for benefits at any one of
the 18 local offices of the Depart
ment of Employment Security.
