Death came in the cool quiet

His 220-pound frame wasted

attacks and pneumonia, the Ma
val Gun Factory boilermaker
found in death q refuge from the

brought him.
For his wife and four sons,
aged 10, 8, 7 and 8, it meant the
beginning Of a new period of In
security and troubles.
Goes to Work
Mrs. Edward took stock of her
situation and found $500 in
social security and $101 from her
husbands pension fund to keep
the red ink out of the monthly
budget for her family.
She went to work and was able
to add $33 a week to her income
I. until varicose veins forced
her to give up her job as a sales
lady.
That was it.
She had $159.20 a month to
raise her family. She trimmed
her expenses. Their four-room
house in Northeast. on the verge

Gardiner j. White, 80. former
Bethesda construction superin-
tendent, was found guilty in
Montgomery County Circuit
Court yesterday of a false pre-
tense charge which grew out of
a $4,000 payroll-padding scheme.
Last February, White. who was
construction boss of the H. j.
Korzendorfer Co.. Inc, was con-
victed on a similar charge but
was granted a new trial.

said White put fictitious names
on the payroll and cashed their
salary checks.
The Korzendorfer firm, which
planned, built and sold large
sections in the subdivisions Of
Rosemary Hills and Alta Vista,
went into receivership a year
ago.
County States Attorney Alger

Watkins Fined
orContempt

John T. Watkins, an interna-
tional representative of the CIO
United Auto Workers Union
today was fined $500 and placed
on probation for one year on
charges of contempt Of Congress
The sentence was imposed by
Federal Judge Joseph c. Nc
Garraghy in the U. S. District
Court for the District Of Colum-
bia. The judge suspended a
one-year prison term and decreed
probation for that time.
Mr.. Watkins was found guilty
last month of seven counts OF
contempt Of the House Un-
American Activities subcommit-
tee. Although he had told the
subcommittee he had been very
close to the Communist Party
he said he had never held a
membership card. He expressed
willingness to testify regarding
his own relations with the party
and concerning any present
party members he knew.
But he had refused to answer
questions regarding persons who
had quit the party. He took
the position that the subcom-
mittee was not authorized tc
force him to testify about such
former members.
In suspending the prison SEN
Itence, Judge McGarraghy
pointed out that the defendant
had shown mo disrespect" of the
subcommittee and mo disorderly
conduct" before it. The judge
also recalled that Mr.. Watkins
had answered all the questions
pertaining to himself and had
mot invoked the, Fifth Amend
ment safeguard. While this did
not constitute a defense. the
Judge remarked, he was consid-
Iering the entire picture in FORM
iulating a sentence.
Defense Attorneys Sidney
Sachs and Joseph L. Rauh, jr.,
said they would appeal the con-
Iviction and sentence.
They said their appeal would
be based "solely on the right of
the subcommittee to engage in
exposure activities rather than
in legislative purposes.
Mr.. Rauh told reporters that
the UAW is supporting Mr.. Wat
kins completely.

The Virginia Milk Commission
plans to hold a public hearing
in Northern Virginia soon on
whether to withdraw its retail
price fixing powers from the
Arlington-Alexandria area.
After meeting in Richmond
yesterday and comforting with
Gov. Stanley, a member Of the
three-man agency said plans for
the hearing probably would be
completed at the next regular
meeting next week.
Chairman G. Wallace Carper
of the Fairfax Board Of County
Supervisors told a meeting in
Chesterbrook School last night
that Commission Chairman
Mark Turner had assured him
a hearing would be held in this
area at a date to be determined.
The commission failed to act
yesterday on withdrawing its
retail price, fixing powers from
the area.
PrOdded by Dairy
Removal of controls was urged
after Highs Dairy Products Co.
recently began a policy of con-
tributing to charity 20 cents for
each gallon of milk purchased
in Virginia. This represents the
difference in price the company
charges in the Distrct-74 cents
"a gallon--and the "a cents the
commission requires it to charge
in Virginia.

conference with commission
members that the group ap-
peared most concerned about "a

price war in the Alexandria Ar
lington- Fairfax area"
The public hearing in this
area was requested two weeks
ago by Arlington's tour men,
bers of the General Assembly
Among those who made similar
requests were the Fairfax su-
pervisors.
Suit Is Pending
One complicating factor that
arose in connection with reach
ing a decision yesterday is that
Safeway Stores, Inc, has a suit
pending in the State Supreme
Court on the pricing of milk in
the Arlington area.
The court failed to render an
opinion in April, the time it nor
mally would have been due. 1t
is expected the court will give
an opinion on Monday.
Safeway is seeking to deter
mine whether the commission
has the power to set different
prices on home-delivered and
store sold milk.
In the Northern Virginia area,
the price differential is 2 cents a
quart.
At the candidates meeting in
Chesterbrook School last night.
Mr.. Carper, a dairy farmer, was
asked if he felt the commission
should control retail prices.
He said he thought the agency
was doing a good job but thought
there might be some question
about the advisability Of con-
trolling retail prices. He urged
as many persons as possible to
attend the public hearing when
il is held.
