Husband Jailed
lin 1882 Murder

Twenty-four years after the
murder Of Eliza Drummings, 20,
her former common law husband
is returning to Washington to
face charges.
Arrested yesterday at the tex
tile plant where he works in
Nutley, N. j.. David Drummings,
SO, colored, gave up peacefully.
But he denied breaking the
woman's neck by beating her
with a board. as was testified at
an inquest May 81, 1892, two
days after the murder.
II got scared and ran away
when everyone said l murdered
my wife" he told United States
Marshal Joseph Job, who ar
rested him. II was afraid they
would never listen to my story
and would railroad me to jail"
Drummings had lived in Nut
ley a long time under the name
of Perios Robson, had married
and was the father of a son.
The murder for which he was
indicted occurred in the 100
block of Pierce court NV.
-Four years ago the Metropoli-
tan police here reopened the
case. But Drummings' arrest
came as a surprise.

Mr.. Segni's Christian Demo-
Gratis. dominant italian party
since World War II but no longer
la majority faction decided
against any deals with the far
left or right. They instructed
their local men to work with
Center allies to form govern
Iments where majorities could be
obtained. Where not, they were
told to form minority govern
mentS and get help elsewhere on
individual issues.
The Liberals approved this
policy.
But the Social Democrats al
ready had issued a call for an
Opening to the left" with the
Nenni Socialists on local levels
to resolve the deadlocks.
Could Last All Summer
Although the Matteotti- Nenni
talks initially were to deal only
with the possibility of local al
liances, Mr.. Matteotti said the
question of Socialist-Social Dem
locrat relations on a national
scale could come up later, and
that such talks might last all
summer.
The path toward such a coali-
ton looked rocky. The Social
Democrats already have an
lnounced they would have no
truck with the Communists or
the far right in local groupings.
Pro Western leaders were
watching the talks for any indi-
cation that Nenni might be drift
ing away from the Reds. They
were also interested in evidence
OF the Social Democrats devo-
ton to Mr.. Segni's coalition.
Loss of their 10 votes in the
Chamber of Deputies would
wreck the Premier's majority and
cause his government to fall.

Well, here you have one
M ms viewI As I often have
written in this column. the
only way in which more-than-
average-height can affect a
girl adversely is if it makes
her self-conscious.
This in turn may make her
slump in order to look shorter
and may cause her to wear
all sorts of unattractive clothes
because of rules she has heard
about how to look shorter.
A tall woman should wear
her skirts at mid calf, which
is the most flattering length
for any figure

proof 1t seems that men still
like +, their women feminine
and in high heels even when
they are tall.

Maryland to Fight

The board reaffirmed its stand
after Joseph F. Kaylor, director
Of the State Department Of For

recreational parkway-previous-
ly dropped--are being considered
again by the National Park Sery-

Alexandra Tax
Hearing Tonight

Alexandria Councilmen viii
face the problem tonight Of
raising property tax rates or
cutting back proposed city con-
struction projects.
A hearing is scheduled for
1880 O'Clock at the council
chamber on the 1867 tax rates.
Current rates are $2.76 on real
estate and So on personal prop
erty. The new rates must be
set before January /.
100000 Short
City Manager Z. q. Heatwolc
said the current tax rates will
fall about 100000 short of
raising enough funds to meet a
minimum" budget for fiscal
1876.
Preliminary estimates show
about $ll million needed for q
minimum" budget which will
provide no expansion of present
services, Mr.. Heatwole said
The 81 million provides $780,
900 for additional debt service
for $5.7 million worth Of bonds
the city expects to sell early in
1857.
Two Alternatives
M. Heatwole said the A.
lnancial problem boils down to
two alternatives for the coun-
ell:
!. Raise the tax rate enough
to meet the deficit. This would
amount to about IS cents on
real estate, or more II services
are to be expanded.
2. Cut about $3.7 million from
the proposed $5.7 million bond
issues. This would mean cutting
out school buildings and other
projects to which the council al
ready has given tentative APP
|proval.
Mayor Leroy Bendheim said
a rise In the tax rate will depend
on the reaction Of the public.
Alexadria's real estate rate,
which has not been raised since
1913. compares with $500 in
Fairfax County and 1851 in
Arlington County. The personal
property rate of So compares
with $500 in Fairfax and $3.50
In Arlington.
