pediatric nurse has admitted
shaking to death three infants
because they got on her nerves
or refused to take their formula.
at was all uncomfortable"
Virginia B. Jaspers, 33-year-old
daughter of county official, told
the coroner. Il didn't know why
did it. Children sometimes get
on my nerves"
Miss Jaspers. who is 6 feet
tall, also admitted breaking the
leg of another infant and in
fiicting a head injury on a fifth,
said Coroner James j. Corrigan.
A private pediatric nurse for
IL years, she often lived in with
the parents of the children and
was not connected with a hos
pital.
She was charged with idlenesS,
a technical holding charge, and
was scheduled to appear before
a coroner's inquest today.
Shook Baby Violently
Police said the deaths dated
back to 1948. Miss Jaspers was
taken into custody as the result
of the death Thursday of the
11-day-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Allen KapSinow of New
Haven.
Police Chief Francis v. Nc
Manus quoted her as saying she
shook the infant violently be-
cause it refused its formula.
The Kapsinows thought their
child had died of natural causes.
Mrs. Kapsinow was near COL
lapse after she was told of the
police report.
Mr.. McManus said the case
developed after DR.. Sterling Tay-
lar, acting medical examiner, re-
ported the Kapsinow child had
suffered head and body injuries,
apparently caused when she was
picked up and shaken violently" "
Other Admissions
Yesterday detectives asked Miss
Jaspers to report to police head
quarters. She came with her
father, William Jaspers. former
State Senator and New Haven
County treasurer. He also is an
assistant personnel manager of
the New Haven Railroad.
After several hours of question
ing she admitted shaking the
Kapsinow child to death.

Tourist Throngs Setting Record;

and the Clothing Workers meet
here May 2l-26.
Not all the conventions are
big. Delegates to the National
Academy of Sciences meeting here
last month numbered 200. The
Interstate Circulation Managers
Association convention April g.
10 was attended by about $50.
Dozens of such smaller conven-
lions swell the tourist figures and
help account for the $3.50 mil
lion spent here annually by Wis

seasons here are the spring and
fall. Thousands of high school

visit Washington July 4.
This year the GNCC is making
an effort to bring more visitors
to Washington during July and
August. The committees re-
searchers have collected weather
data they believe shows that
is not as hot and
humid as a lot Of other conven-
ton cities.

the GNCC reported. Every one
Of the city's 1880 hotel rooms
were filled. AS soon as room
was vacated, there was someone
ready to occupy it,"
While the tourist trade is
rather seasonal, with peaks in
the spring and fall, conventions
Igo on endlessly. The GNCC re-
ported $40 were held here last
year.
One Of the biggest so far this
year was the annual meeting of
the National Automobile Dealers
Association. More than 10000
delegates attended the conven-
ton in January.
Only last week the United
States Chamber Of Commerce
held its 44th annual meeting
here, bringing about 1000 guests.

Fees Boosted

The District Commissioners
today ordered an increase in
fees charged for SO types of bust
ness licenses, effective July /, but
ignored a recommendation that
the increases be the subject of
a public hearing.
The fees, designed to cover
only the cost of inspection and
processing, would yield an in
crease of $82,797 in revenue to
the District. The new schedule
also would reduce seven fees by
amounts ranging from SIS to $50.
The increases range from 81
to $4,000.
Additional changes in fees for
permits and certificates were es-
timated to yield $276.031 more
revenue to the District.
The increased fees would cost
auctioneers $40 instead of S45,
commission merchants $500 in
stead of $3.50, diaries $4,000 in
stead of $500, dry cleaners $35
instead of $25, ice cream man
ufacturers, $3.50 instead of $125,
theaterS $500 instead of $500,
and would boost the fee for
newspaper vending racks from
so cents to So.

Washington is having its big
gest tourist year in history.
Nearly a million and a half
tourists and convention dele
gates have visited the city Sc
far this year, the Greater Ma
tional Capital Committee re-
ported today. This is an increase
of about 100000 over the same
period last year.
On the basis of the increase
for the first four months, DR.
Jefome Pickard, Board of Trade
research director, estimates
about 5 million tourists and
about 275.000 convention dele
gates will visit the Nations cap
ital this year.
That's a fairly conservative
estimate" he said. IF the rate
continues as established, the fig
ure will go over the 5 million for
tourists alone"
The present record for the
number Of visitors was set last
year when 4,624,428 visitors and
275.000 convention delegates
came to the city.
Most Of the increase probably
is due to this years record
breaking Cherry Blossom Festi-
val. GNCC officials pointed out.
They estimate between $780, 900

city the week Of April 3-8 as

Army May Ease Rules
On Civilian Security

which was first revealed in The
Star last Friday.
The request was made by the
Seattle Urban League on behalf
OF William B. Foster, a former
longtime resident of the Dis
trict. Mr.. Foster was dismissed
as a security risk in 1858. The
Urban League has telegraphed
Mr.. Brucker for an appointment
to discuss the case in light Of the
new standards for judging de-
rogatory criteria.
Mr.. Foster was employed in a
nonsensitive capacity as a car
penter at Fort Lawton. Wash.
at the time of his dismissal.
Mr.. Milton declined comment
on the Foster case beyond say
ing the Urban League request
would be considered. He added,
however, that "the Army always
stands ready to review a case
where there is evidence of error
or injustice"
The assistant secretary said

Mustn't Trail in Quality
Mr.. Eisenhower said today he
does not consider it vital, in
any case, that the United States
stay ahead of Russia in the
number of long range bombers.
The vital things, he empha-
sized, are that we get what we
need"
THAT does not necessarily
mean more than somebody else
does" he declared. The Presi-

point is not be behind anybody

country is not trying to match

He did not rule out the pos

Department would recommend

on Taxes
Gets BACKING
Eisenhower Fuvors
'Proper' Limitation

Common sense demands that
some way be found to put "a
proper limitation" on Federal tax
rates, President Eisenhower de-
clared today.
He told a news conference,
however, that a proposed con-
stitutional amendment to limit
Federal income tax rates to a
top of IS per cent might be too
rigid.
The President based his argu-
ment for some limitation or re-
arrangement of Federal taxation
mainly on the ground that more
tax money should be left for the
States to collect.
He emphasized that States
should be able to collect sufti-
cient taxes to enable them to
carry out their responsibilities.
Cites Regional Differences
In this connection the PreSi-
dent said he believes decentrali-
cation of Government response
bility among the States is neces-
sary for our form of civilization.
He pointed out that the in
tereSts of New England are a
long way from those of Southern
California and those Of the
South far different from indus
trial Ohio or the Eastern States.
This means there should be
local government re-
sponsibility, Mr.. Eisenhower said.
He emphasized that unlimited
Federal authority to scrape off
money available for taxes can
destroy the ability of the States
to fulfill their responsibilities.

Instead, he came back with
