the cast of much Ado About
Nothing" who walked out in

40. who portrayed Don Pedro

care for a flu-type ailment.
Katherine Hepburn is the
star of the production.
Mr.. Bell walked out of the
scene, went down a ramp,
tripped and fell. got up and ran
out the front door.
At the Jefferson Hotel, 1900
Sixteenth street N. W., where

Employment Cut

Navy Secretary Thomas S
Gates reacted swiftly yester-
day to the proposals of two
Maryland legislators to revival
ize Indian Head Powder Fac
tory operations, giving partial
approval to remedial proposals
He agreed to release $25,00(
to try to reclaim stored pow
ders that could be used to
fuel rockets and to name a
civilian director to run the
factory.
But there was no suggestion
that an impending 20 per cent
cutback on employment at the
Indian Head Powder Factory.
scheduled to take effect at the
end of this month, will be
cancelled.
The Navy Secretary acted
late yesterday after a confer
ence at the Pentagon with Rep
resentative Landlord, Demo-
crat, and Senator Beall, Re-
publican of Maryland, who
have been considerably dis
turbed about the employment
situation at Indian Head.
Probe in Prospect
Secretary Gates statement
followed an announcement
earlier in the week that the
Senate Preparedness Subcom-
mittee plans to look into re-
ports of alleged waste OF facili-
ties at Indian Head.
The subcommittee, headed
by Senator Johnson. Democrat
of Texas, is considering charges
that the Navy has failed to use,
for rocket solid fuels, materials
that are available at Indian
Head.
Cutbacks in the 68-year-old
naval plant amount to 317 OF
its workers. This has been a
jolt to the economy of the town
since its peak employment in
1851 was 5000. With the new
cutbacks, the employment level
will be reduced to 1860.
To Study Ideas
A Joint statement issued late
yesterday by Senator Beall and
Mr.. Landlord said Navy Secre-
tary Gates had agreed to study
these ideas:
/. A proposal to put Indian
Head facilities to work for pri-
vate firms now seeking to pro-
duce rocket propellants. In
dian Head could serve as q
bridge between research activ-
tiles and full-scale commercial
production" r eprese ntative
Landlord said. He said produc.
ton techniques should be de-
veloped at the Charles County
plant to test techniques now
being researched privately.
2. The ACCESSIBILITY of a joint
Navy and civic survey of who
has lost jobs at the Indian Head
plant and what are their par
ticular skills and where they
might find new employment.
3. Transfer of the Anacostia
Naval Receiving Station to In
dian Head. This is a proposal
of Senator Beall that to date
hasn't received too much sup
port.

2 Convicfs Accused
In Staying Of Guard
Gomez,SchoppeI
To Face Charges
On Wednesday

Two Washington convicts
have been charged with murder
in the fatal beating and stab
bling of a Lorton Reformatory
guard Thursday night.
The death of Michael j.
Hughes. 40, who lived at Hoad-
ly, Va. set of a round-the-
clock FBI investigation until
the two convicts were charged
late yesterday.
The men accused of the slay-
ing are Gumersindo P. Gomez,
%, serving 20 months to six
years for robbery and assault
with a dangerous weapon, and
John F. Schoppel. 25, serving
one to three years for auto
theft. Both have long police
records.
Case Continued
United States Commissioner
Stanley King of Alexandra

hold arraignment proceedings
against the two. He continued
the case until next Wednesday
to permit the convicts to OBJ
tain attorneys.
Mr.. Hughes was slain after
dinner Thursday. He was
making his rounds in Dormi-
tory Is when last seen. His
body was found near the door
of the dayroom in that dormi-
tory. He had suffered a COM
pound skull fracture, brain lac
Grafton, a cut throat and stab
wounds in the face.
The evidence suggested Mr..
Hughes, who was unarmed. was
first stabbed and then hit over
the head with a chair as he
lay on the floor.
OAuuC AIlllc EOuuu
A 7-inch crude prison knife
with a 4-inch blade was re-
covered after the Staying and
was believed to be the principal
weapon used. Gomez, known as
Chico to most of the other
men, had repeatedly been found
carrying a knife on three pre-
vious occasions.
There were more than 70
men in the dayroom at the
time of the killing and the FBI
had to question each in its
investigation.
The search focused on Gomez
and Schoppel after a guard re-
ported seeing them enter a
Mushroom near the dayroom
with blood on their clothes
shortly after Mr.. Hughes body
was found. The FBI said both
men denied the charge.
Mr.. Hughes had been a guard
at Lorton for four years. He
was described as a "quiet and
efficient officer, well-liked by
everyone" by Donald Clemmer,
District director of corrections.
Mr.. Hughes left his wife
and five children. Jane. IA:

Mrs. Hughes, visited by a
constant stream of friends Of
fering condolences, said today
her husband had always
talked of the prisoners with
sympathy. I had always
thought they liked him."
His fellow workers at the
reformatory said he was lone

Moscow radio broadcast a

Earlier, in Moscow Deputy

The Federal Trade Commits

with making false claims in its
advertising Of "airnow" contact
lenses.
A commission complaint said
that most If not all Of the
actresses. athletes and other
celebrities advertised as wear
ing and recommending the COM
pany's lenses have never worn
them and thus are not in a
position to recommend them"
The FTC also challenged the
firms representation that its
lenses are not irritating and
"can be worn all day without
discomfort" The complaint said
the claims were false, and added
"the lenses will cause irritation
of the eyes in practically all
instances when first worm"
Neither will the lenses correct
all defects in vision as claimed,
FTC said. particularly in cases
that require bifocals."
The commission charged
further that the company has
misrepresented that its Gus
toners are protected as to
safety by an insurance policy.
