House Drops
|Workmen' S Bill
From D. {. LIST

Legislation to give the District
Q workmens compensation law
Of its own has been stricken
from the list Of local bills slated
for action by the House tomorrow
on District day.
The bill providing compensa-
ton for injuries or death suffered
by workmen Of private employers
here was approved by the House
District Committee on April 30.
The District Committee filed
Ia formal report with the House
recommending its passage and
Expected to have the measure
called up tomorrow on the day
set aside for municipal bills.
However the House leadership
took this measure off the list so
1t will not be available for debate
and action this week.
The bill had been strongly
supported by the Washington
Board Of Trade and employers
here. but had been the subject
Iof attack by organized labor.
New Measure Sought
The measure is intended to
take the District from under q
national law called the Long
IshoremenS and Harbor Workers
Compensation Act, The city has
been under that national law
for about % years.
Increased costs to employers
and higher benefits to injured
workers here would result from
amendments to the Longshore-
mems law approved by the Sem
ate and by the House Education
and Labor Committee. The House
bill was reported favorably by its
Education and Labor Committee
but 1t is still pending before the
Senate Rules Committee.
This national bill could not be
called up on the House floor ufl-
less given the green light by the
Rules Committee. Therefore 1t
seemed last night that both the
local and the national workmen's
compensation bill were tempo
rarily delayed.
The House, however, is sched-
uled to act on six District bills
officially slated to be called UP
tomorrow.
They would:
Increase annuities Of retired
public school teachers.
Merchant Law Studied
Authorize the District Com.
missioners to reclassify mer.
chants here so that those dealing
principally in new merchandise
would not be subject to the strict
regulations applying to second
hand dealers, although these
merchants accept used articles
IN part payment for fresh mer-
chandise.
Provide that the uniform 81.
multaneous death act now effec.
tive in most states, shall apply
to the District to simplify the ad-
ministration of estates.
! Require that the pay week Of
the Metropolitan Police shall
coincide with the calendar work
week to eliminate administrative
difficulties.
Permit Metropolitan policemen
and f1remen to reside within 20
miles of the District instead Of
the present IL miles.

Lawyer Named
For PreVatte

| Wilmer D. Pyles, Prince
Georges County attorney, has
been appointed to represent Billy
Ray Prevatte, 14-year-old youth
who shot a county teacher to
death May 4 at the Maryland
Park Junior High School.
Mr.. Pyles Immediately leveled
an attack on the handling of
juveniles in Prince Georges
County. calling the Prevatte case
"a perfect example of why the
County needs a separate Juvenile
court and a juvenile detention
home"
Prevatte has been in the Up
per Marlboro Jail since soon after
the shooting.
( He is accused of killing one
teacher and wounding two
others. one seriously. during an
uncontrolled rage following a
.reprimand by school officials.
Teacher Slain at Desk
The victims, all shot with a %
caliber rifle, were Frazer Cam
Ieron, 80, who died at his class
room desk; Francis Daniel Wag-
ner, %, recovering at Prince
Georges. General Hospital from
"a bullet wound in his abdomen,
and Robert Hicks, 81, who suf-
fered a minor wound in the
thumb.
The boy faces a murder charge
and two charges of assault with
intent to kill.
Mr.. Pyles said he has been re-
quested by Circuit Court Judge
Charles c. Marbury to prepare
Prevatte's defense. He explained
that, although counsel cannot be
formally appointed until a de-
PENDANT has been arraigned, the
preliminary work in this case to
prepare an adequate defense
should begin Immediately.
Calls Boy pathetic"
Mr.. Pyles heads a committee
of the County Bar Association
which recently advocated estab-
lishment of a separate juvenile
court in the county. At present,
juveniles are handled by trial
magistrates who act in a dual ca
pacity as juvenile court judges.
The association is scheduled to
consider the committees pro-
posal next month.
1T was sort of pathetic" Mr..
Pyles said, in describing his first
interview with young Prevatte
yesterday morning at the Jail.
He said the boy believes he
will be sent shortly to a hospi-
tai and wanted to know when he
would leave. Mr.. Pyles added:
II don't think he realizes the
seriousness Of this situation. l
don't think he knows he's even
been charged with murder. He's
too young to understand even if
someone told him. I am sure he
is not guilty Of all the charges
placed against him"
Mr.. Pyles said he got the i'm

is down on him and that he
doesn't have a single friend"

the issue of public ownership
versus private ownership and
whether Congress should be
wrapped up in the problems of

The restoration measure is
scheduled to be debated in the
House on Wednesday. Last week,
the Senate passed bill which
would set up a Washington Met

ship.
HeseltOn Leads Opposition
House opposition to the resto-
ration measure has been led by
Representative Heselton, Repub-
lican of Massachusetts, a mem
Der of the Commerce Committee,
who filed minority report and
who has introduced version of
the Senate bill in the House.
During the last week, other law
makers have been joining him in
opposition to the restoration.
Capital Transit Company's
franchise and charter were can
Icelled by act of Congress last
summer during 52-day strike
by Division 689 of the Anal
Igamated Association of Street
Electric Railway and Motor
Coach Employees of America.
Noting that the union is OPP

campaigning for public owner
ship, Mr.. Harris charged that
Walter j. Bierwagen, president
of Division 689. wants the Pub
lie Authority because he knows
the Treasury would be behind it,
and he knows it would be a pa
Itronage proposition for Congress
to have to settle with the union
every time the issue of a wage
increase came up"
Union Seeks Arbitration
Speaking for the union. Mr..
Blerwagen said his organization
opposes the restoration bill be-
cause it has no provision requir-
ing the company to arbitrate la
Dor disputes. He said the union
supports the public ownership
bill because it would allow sucHi

The restoration bill was

The girls, a 21-year-old blond

girl, were bound and gagged with
their own clothing. At one point
their captor left for 20 minutes.
When he returned and found one

He dragged one of the girls

Once he checked on the girl in

Dresser IS Drilling Senators
On SandIot Fundamentals
Strives to Halt
Errors as Home
Stund Begins
BY BURTON HAWKINS

Wrecked on the road, the
Senators will strive to reassemble
their disjointed defense in a To-
game home stand against West
Iern clubs starting with Cleve-
land tonight at Griffith Sta
dunn. Bob Lemon, seeking q
seventh win for the Indians, will
be opposed on the mound by
Bob Wiesler, still searching for
an elusive No. l.
Victims of their own defensive
deficiencies, the Senators have
averaged two errors per game in
their last seven. Blended with
those miscues has been an as
sortment of costly lapSes which
haven't shown up in box scores
but which have resulted in runs

with one flip. But yesterday
during a 90 defeat by the
Yankees in New York a simple
play became complicated, with
the result that five unearned
runs poured across.
EIston Howard Trapped
Everybody wanted in on the
act. The ball suddenly became
contaminated with nobody will
ing to hang on to it long enough
to tag a trapped Elston Howard

finally wound up with Howard

ing it on a belated, erratic throw

wasn't completely to blame.
The confusion was universal.
Nobody knew what to do. It
requires merely one toss to chase
the runner back toward his orig
inal base, then apply the ball
firmly to some part of the
anatomy. The Senators went at
it as if it were a problem for
the late Einstein.
The inning was a mess. Bill
Skowron singled and Howard
walked in the sixth to chase
Chuck Stobbs and bring on Bob
Chakales. Joe Collins batted for
Bob Cerv and fouled to Roy

Beharrell went 1-up over Reid

Beharrell, the schoolbuy sem
