Barrett Seeks
u. S. Figures
On Net Worth

BALTIMORE. Aug. % tspe-
ciaD Attorneys for Robert
J. Barrett, former washington
police chief. have appealed to
Federal Court here to order
the Government to tell how it
figured Mr.. Barrett's net worth
at $54,018 in 194o.
The former police chief is
under indictment here on
charges Of income tax evasion.
His attorneys-Charles z.
Ford and H. Clifford Alder Of
Washington and Bernard j.
Flynn Of Baltinnore-said the
Government had furnished
them information that Bar
ret's net worth, $54,018 in i949,
had increased to $55.l09 in
1850. But, the attorneys COM
planned, the Government has
not shown how it arrived at
the l949 figure.
They maintained that the
Governments action was not
responsive to Judge w. CAL
vim Chesnut's order Of last May
that the net worth statements
prepared by tax agents be
furnished the defense.
Barrett is charged with evad-
ing SLAB in income, taxes in
1850. A trial date has not been

man said, "and the owners

The planning commission, it
was learned, is anxious for the
State Roads Commission to
obtain more money for advance

path Of q proposed road can
be established as soon as pos
sibie.
Emergency Fund Set Up
The roads commission pres
emily has an emergency fund
under the l2-year program for
right-of-way purchase. This
amounts to 50 million yearly
Mr.. Bonnell said the planners
had asked the road body to take
up right-of-way on certain
projects within the suburban
area, but was told this would
be impossible because the
projects are not in the 12-year
program.
He declined to specify the
projects involved.

said, I'VE tried to work on q
congenial basis by trying to
get pet owners to cooperate
with us. And they did. We
sent warnings about the pet
regulations and many persons
got rid Of their pets"
The residents who face evic-
ton have the right to appeal
to the entire membership
within 10 days after receiving
eviction notices. Mr.. Burgoon
said.
Mr.. Breashears said the
principal objection to pets
seems to be that they make too

APARTMENT FORUM
FURNITURE SELECTION
By NORMA and DON

FURNITURE SELECTION
I'VE are planning to move into
our first apartment. We both
like French provincial furniture
but think that modern may be
more adaptable to apartment
living"
The choice of furniture is a
more personal matter than most
people realize. In the long run
it is far easier if you surround
yourself with furnishings of your
taste, than If you try to adapt
yourself to your surroundings.
This does not mean that one
type of furnishings might not
be easier to adapt to apartment
living than another. The small
ness. lightness and f1exibility of
most modern furniture make 1t
easy to work with in apartment
areas.
But If French provincial is a
better expression of your taste
you will find furnishings in this
style easier and more comfort
able for you to live with.
Generally speaking. you can
find pieces of furniture in any
style which can be worked into
apartment areas comfortably
Select small pieces where you
can and watch for multi-purpose
items-buffets or consoles which
open into dining tables, and nc-
casional chairs which look well
either in the dining or in the
living room area.
KITCHEN STORAGE Stor-
age space under the kitchen sink
always seems to get crowded
quickly. Cleaning materials
empty storage jars and bottles
pile up so nothing is convent
emily available when you want it
The worst offenders are the
attractive containers in which
so many processed foods come

tation to save them lust In
case"
The right approach to thi.
problem is to begin with a list
: Iof foods for which you generally
need containers. Choose one OF
two containers best suited tc
hold each type of leftover and
throw the rest away.

At in apartment decor.
The floor covering provides the
largest areas of color In an
apartment, aside from walls and
ceiling. When walls are beige
for example. light reds, rusts OF
greens in the floor covering will
give the room warmth. If walls
are gray, light blues will give
the room a lift.
Patterns, Of course, must be
watched carefully in selecting
floor coverings for an apart
ment. Plain or sculptured car
pets tend to make a small room
appear larger and less cluttered
