Staggered HoursUrged
By Transit for $4,000

A new move is underway to
change working hours foI
about half Of the Federal en-
ployes in the District in order
to relieve traffic congestion.
AS a result of a three-year
study, D. c. Transit next month
will give the Bureau of the
Budget and the District Com
mlssioners a revised plan for
staggering hours of Govern
ment workers.
District Engineer Commits
sioner A. c. yelling is known
to be interested in the posi-
bilities Of a greater staggering
of working hours to do some
thing about crushing peak-level
movement during rush hours
and has directed 1t. Col. Jess
Unger, assistant engineer COM
missioner, to investigate.
The Budget Bureau, the top
level Federal agency most
likely to initiate any change,
is also known to be interested
in such a project.
Other Suggestions
In fact, a number of groups
during the last several years
have suggested more stagger-
ing.
However, nothing tangible
had been done until the trans
it study was undertaken.
The transit recommended
tons will show that if some
of the Government agencies
change their hours by from is
minutes to an hour, rush-hour

ton for the company.

Police Trup
Ex-Convict;;
Officer Shot

FERRUM CROSSROADS,
Va, July 25 (AP) Earl Smith,
trailed since yesterday for a
double Staying. was cornered
today in his grandfather's barn
after he shot and seriously
wounded a State trooper.
A posse of 100 moved in on
the 30-year-old moonShiner
and eX-convict. Tear gas shells
were lobbed into the barn amid
sporadic bursts of gunfire and
two State police armored cars
were dispatched to the scene
A National Guard tank was Or
dered from Martinsville.
The wounded trooper, James
H. Martin, 81. of Stuart. was
one of II State police who led
the hunt into this area of
Franklin County. AS they
started to search the barn on
the property of Luther Smith,
grandfather of the hunted man,
there was a burst of rife fire
and Trooper Martin fell with a
bullet in his chest.
The area is about 20 miles
from BaSSett, in adjoining
Henry County, where Smith,
just out of a Federal prison for
liquor making, shot and killed
his brother-in-law and an in
FAINT niece yesterday.
Marvin Lee Whorley, 35, was
slain as he walked with his
wife to meet their ride to work
in a furniture factory. Mrs.
Whorley, whose sister was mar
ried to Smith, said Smith
stepped from behind a bush
and fired.
She ran back to her cot
tage, locked the front door and
led three of her children
through the back door. She
called to her mother-in-law,
Mrs. Della Whorley, to bring
the baby out.
But the rifleman broke in
the front door and fired again.
The bullet killed the baby,
Marjorie, who was in the
grandmother's arms. The sem
ior Mrs. Whorley was wounded
in the chest.
Police believes Smith was
angry because his wife had
sworn to an assault complaint
against him.

hibit is typical of the first
public reaction to the fair
which Vice President Nixon
formally opened Friday. To
judge from the numbers and
the enthusiasm of the crowds
that Swarmed over the various
exhibits, the United States has
a solid hit on its hands in Mos
COW. The demand for tickets
has already become a major
headache for American and
Russian officials alike.
The ticket complaint gave
rise to one of the awkward in
cidents involving Mr.. Nixon
himself. While inspecting a
market yesterday, he was be-
sieged by a group of people
asking him how to get tickets
to the exhibit. Through his in
terpreter, Mr.. Nixon got the
mistaken impression they were
asking him for money to buy
the tickets which sell for one
ruble each. He asked an aide
to give them a 100 ruble bill.
Mcclellan UnwOrried
When the situation was ex-
planned, Mr.. Nixon offered in
stead to try to scrape together
200 tickets for the market per-
sonnet. But, almost inevitably,
a letter appeared today in the
Communist trade paper Trud

HAVANA, July Is (AP).-
The capture of one of Fidel
Castro's most wanted enemies
was announced tonight as
thousands of young Cuban
farmers, waving banners and
brandiShing sharp Sugarcane
knives roamed this capital.
They were in a mood for a
celebration-or trouble.
Police said Rafael del Pine,
leader of the white Rose" Or
ganization, who has been oper-
ating from Miami, Fla, was
wounded and captured 20 miles
east of here while apparently
trying to fly a group of Cubans
out of the country.
The White Rose leader ap-
parently flew a chartered
single-engined plane from
Florida and landed on a paved
highway for a dawn rendez-
vous with his associates here.
Plane Set Afire
Heavily armed police, led by
Chief Efgenio Amijeiras, ma
chine-gunned the plane as it
landed, setting it afire and
wounding the pilot. A carload
of would-be passengers escaped
after exchanging shots with
the police. Police said they
dragged Mr.. Del Pine from the

military hospital. He is under
heavy guard.

Police Capture 2 Convicts
Who Kidnapped Virginian
Victim, 70,
Identifies
Seized Pair

Two escaped convicts we're
captured last night in a WASH
ington pa suburb less than
IL hours after they released
the 79-year-old Fairfax County
man they kidnapped Thursday.
The convicts were tackled by
two city police, acting on a tip
from a woman resident. The
fugitives didn't have a chance
to resist.
They were rushed to Penn
sylvania State Police barracks
where Peter Martin Nelson,
the retired tailor who was
taken from his Spring Hill,
Va, home at rif1e-point 48
hours earlier. was resting after
his release at $50 am.
When Mr.. Nelson saw the
two men. he formally identified
them as his kidnapers and ex-
claimed: They're wearing my
shirts"
AS Mr.. Nelson was questioned
about his ordeal, he gave FBI
and state police Investigators
enough clues to concentrate
their manhunt on a certain
area of residential Washington,
Pa, about 26 miles southwest of
Pittsburgh.
Woman Phones Tip
The concentration of FBI
agents, State and city police in
directly led to the capture.
An FBI spokesman explained
that questioning of residents
alerted the area to watch out
for the two men. AS night fell,
a woman resident thought she
spotted the two men walking
down the street.
She put in a call to the FBI
resident agent in Washing
ton, Pa, with whom she had
talked earlier in the day. He
was unavailable so she told
her story to city police.
Police Tackle Pair
Two city policemen sped to
the scene. AS soon as they spot
ted the men, they parked and
ran up behind them. Police
Sergt. Lee Richmond-6-feet-
give and $50 poundS-tackled
one man. His partner. Police
man Kenneth Liggons, threw
the other to the ground. The
convlcts were unarmed.

DEAR ABBY: May I call

enough, physicians are the
worst offenders when it comes

200 pounds. I saw him three
times in my Office after he
had convalesced from his

At each visit I spent IS
minutes to one half hour
emphasizing the importance
of weight reduction. I
stressed the dangers of obes-
ity - especially in coronary
diseases. In spite of warnings
during his hospital stay he
came in at the first office
visit weighing over 200
pounds.
Again the dangers Of obes-
ity were discussed. He agreed
heartily that weight was
something to watch" He
said: We'll, see how much I
take of this next month"
I told him I was glad that
he had made such a resolu-
ton. But ] told him to pace
himself; and not begin to
celebrate his weight loss un-

over.

trained - an objective to
which the FBI has devoted
much effort. Following Mr..
Hoover's observations, city
officials might profitably
spend some time in apprais-
ing the adequacy of their po-
lice departments In terms of
size, training, and present
disposition Of manpower.
Significantly, when Mayor
Wagner took a hard look at
New York City's police force,
after the recent outbreak Of
crime. he Immediately or
dered that l,400 additional
policemen be transferred to
juvenile crime control. What
he found was that there were
far too few men detailed to
this huge fostering problem
and he thought they could
be moved from less important
work to meet this more ur-
gent need.
A majority Of us are
blithely unaware of how well
our police acquit themselves,
limited as they are by insult
flcient manpower and lack
of opportunity for modern
training, and modest pay,
coupled with the easily over
looked fact that police work,
by and large, is far from
glamorous, involving monot-
onous and plodding work
most of the time.
Illustrative of the pains
taking, steady application
that policemen have to go
through in order to produce
results is a recent New York
case. Two months ago, a trio
Of hoods entered a diner,
shot and killed the owner,
an elderly man. pocketed
$40, and disappeared with
out a trace. But Immediately
several New York police de-
tailed to the case went after
every scrap of evidence they
could dig up. The trail OF

The daughters in this
case Judge the situation from
the outside, as seen through
their biased eyes. Their
parents fought. their father
was at fault. they felt no love
for him - therefore their
mother should not mourn.
Yet the mother has real
lied how much she depended
upon this man-with all his
faults. Possibly she feels
guilty at having given him

We can go about killing
ourselves slowly in many
ways. One of the most COM
mon is by over-eating. But
we must not forget the dam
gers of undertaking.
I recall a 51-year-old spin
ster who lived with her
sister until one year ago.
They had a spat which de-
veloped into a hate-provoking
argument. The sister left.
WITHIN A YEAR the pa
tient lost about 40 pounds.
At first there were suspicious
Of serious illness. But his
tory-taking soon ruled that
out. She was actually starv-
ing herself to death.
Her breakfast consisted
only Of black coffee. Salami
sandwich and soda for lunch.
Coffee only for dinner.
I asked her why. She re-
piled: 81 can't take the trou-
BILE to make my supper. Be-
sides, I've lost all interest in
food"
Outwardly she was calm.
But inwardly she was sect
ing with hostility and resent
ment at both her sister and
herself. She didn't care to
live any more" So she had
unconsciously decided to COM
init suicide in an accepted
fashion, rather than by poi
son, or any similar method
that is frowned upon by So
ciety.
There is a happy ending to
this story. The sisters became
reconciled. And our patient
