Plan aims
At Cutting
Fire Losses

A move to slash one-third of
Montgomery County's annual
fire losses of nearly 81 million
has been initiated by the Coun-
ty Council.
Building officials proposed a
change in the County's electrical
code that could go far toward
cutting down fires caused by
electrical breakdowns.
Specifically, they proposed:
Plug fuses in new homes be
limited to handle no more than
Is amperes.
. Only new rs" type fuses be
used if the more modern circuit
breaker unit is not installed.
The new, lower capacity fuses
and the circuit breakers would
eliminate many wire-caused fires
in homes. Both are major
changes in the National Electro
cal Code to be adopted July,
1860 by the National Association
off Fire Underwriters.
High-capacity fuses in homes
not wired for them contribute
greatly toward Montgomery
COunty's annual $333,OOO fire
losses linked directly to cleo
trical faults, fire officials said.
No average home with stand
ard wiring should plug fuses
that allow more than Is amperes
of electricity to flow through
wiring, Fire Inspector Thomas
Slater said. Nevertheless, he
explained, standard home fuse
boxes can be fitted with fuses
of more than twice that rating.
Housewives, ignorant of fuse
facts, may put in fuses of the
wrong rating and set up a
potentially fatal situation, Slater
said.
A fuse, he said, is a safety
device that burns out before
overloaded wiring burns through
its insulation. AS soon as a
fuse blows, the current Is shut
off and the hot wire cools down.
Wire gets hot when too many
lights or appliances are used
at the same time on one circuit
A fuse with a wrong, high
rating will resist shorting out
as the wiring gets hot and even
tually, wiring hidden between
walls may burst into flame and
start a fire.
The IS" type fuse with its
modest but sufficient capacity
for current would cut "juice'
before wires could get hot. The

Mannar
Dead at SO I
OF Coronary

Peyton M. Mannar, former
president of the Rockville XII.
wants Club and active Dem.
ocrat in the 10th (Potomac)
election district for many years,
died January a at his home,
10220 River rd., Potomac. He
was Sc.
His wife, Hazel Atwood Man
mar, said her husband had suf-
fered a heart condition for the
last few years. They had no
children.
At his death, Mr.. Mannar--
or DOC" as he was known
was employed as a sales repre-
sentative for Rockville Crushed
Stone. Prior to 1856, he held
the same position with the
Christian Heinrich Brewing Co.
for 16 years.
Mr.. Mannar was a native Of
Rockville, the son of the late
DR.. and Mrs. Claiborne H.
Mannar. DR.. and Mrs. Mannar
raised their family Of three
boys in the large old house still
standing next to WINK radio
station on Baltimore I'd. DR..
Mannar was the county's
coroner many years ago.
Mr.. Mannar was educated in
local primary schools and was
a graduate of the Rockville
Academy, now defunct. He also
graduated from Western Mary.
land College, Westminster.
Mr.. Mannar was the 1855
president and one of the found
ers of the Rockville Kiwanis
Club and also belonged to the
Potomac Democratic Club and
the Western Montgomery Coun,
ty Democratic Club. An ardent
baseball fan, he coached at least
one championship adult team in
county leagues and also worked
with boys baseball teams, prior
to his heart trouble.
Known throughout Potomac
for his fine singing voice, Mr.
Mannar often sang with the
Potomac Church Choir. He also
was a longtime member of the
Rockville Christ Episcopal
Church.
In addition to HIS wife, he 1.
survived by his two brothers
Braxton w, Of Clearwater, Fla.
and Claiborne H., of Ormond
Beach, Fla.

new fuse has another built-in
safety factor: you can't tamper
with it or use q penny TO restore
electricity once the fuse Is blown.
When q regular house fuse
blows, service can be restored
by inserting e copper penny in
the fuse well and screwIng the
fuse back to hold the coin tight.
This amounts to suicide, how
ever, because electricity In an
overloaded circuit will bypass
the blown fuse, short out and
start a fire somewhere In the
system.
The rs" type fuse works only
with a threaded copper sleeve
that screws into the fuse well.
This sleeve, which contains the
shank of the as" fuse, is too
narrow for a penny.
Circuit breakers, which per-
form the same job as a fuse
box, are nothing new. But more
efficient design has cut their
price and more and more home
builders are installing them.
Like fuse boxes, they are in
stalled in a wall. But instead
of having to replace segments,
as is necessary with a blown
fuse, the homeowner merely
pushes button or operates a
switch and the current is re-
stored.
They have the advantage of
higher capacity for current while
keeping wiring at a safe heat
level, and convenience of op-
Grafton.
A spokesman for the Square
D electrical contracting company
in Bethesda said that the. pro-
posed changes in the County's
code-a public hearing will be
held on the amendments at 8
pm. January % in the Rockville
County Building auditorium
will not adversely affect fuse
distributors in the area, largely
because all plug makers are
geared up for the National code
change.

Court Finds
Way to Tag
The Innocent

After a harassing day, in
Municipal Court yesterday,
Lewis E. Ottey has no serious
qualms about sharing his name
with his brother. Not so his
traffic record.
Perhaps as a brotherly act,
Lewis, 81, obliged when his old
er brother. William r. Ottey,
36, wrote to him from Occo-
guam workhouse:
when you write me in Jail,
write me as Lewis. They don't
know I'm William"
But brotherly love was
stretched to the breaking point
when Virginia authorities asked
Lewis to turn in his drivers
permit and auto tags.
What are you talking
about?" Lewis demanded.
He was told that on Decem-
ber 4 last year he had been
convicted of driving while
drunk. colliding, leaving the
scene Of an accident and driving
without a permit in the Dis
trict.
And Furthermore, he was told
he was supposed to be serving
l60 days in jail.
Assistant Corporation Coun-
sci Clark King said Lewis came
to his Office yesterday to seek
help.
Mr.. King called Occoquan
and, sure enough, Lewis-that
is, William calling himself
Lewis-was there.
Convinced that a mistake
had been made, Mr.. King called
the Department of Motor We
hicles here and asked that the
records be corrected. That
would require a court order,
he was told.
Occoquan authorities then
were asked to make William
available for an appearance
before Judge Thomas C. Seal
ley.
With William in court, Judge
Scalley suggested a way of un-
tangling the situation: Change
the record to read, William R.
Ottey alias Lewis E. Ottey."
Police later revealed that
the names got mixed up when
the arresting officer, unable to
get a name from the motorist
involved in the accident, copied
the name from the registration
card. William was driving his
brothers car at that time.
Today, Lewis E. Ottey has a
letter from District authorities
saying that the traffic record
OF William r. Ottey. alias
Lewis E. Ottey, should not be
confused with that Of Lewis E.
Ottey.
AS for William, he is back at
Occoquan with several more
days to serve.

FIJI MANAGED to type out
Hiroshima" which was quite
a hazard for her, even when
1t was spelled out at the
other end of the line.
What is it?" shouted
Charles Michael Egan, the
news editor, who was seated
at his desk IS feet away.
He wanted to start the copy
desk preparing an eight
column banner headline.
We've dropped a bomb on
Japan equivalent to 10000
tons of INT" answered one
of the overlookers.
Egan shouted back, "Check
that"
Fiji asked Joe Fox, The
Stars White House reporter,
If that was right.
That's right" she called
out.
THAT can't be right" Egan
exploded. "Check it again!"
Fifi asked again, and by
this time, annoyed by the
repeated query, Joe Fox, an
other excitable Irishman, was
exploding at the other end OF
the line.
Despite all this, Fifi man
aged to finish tipping the
bulletin.
1t was "railroaded";; that
is, it did not cross the usual
number of desks for reading
against error. The presses
had been stopped and were
waiting for it.
But just as the copy was
going upstairs to the compos-
ing room to be cast into type,
Egan's sharp eye noticed
something.
With more truth than
orthography, Fiji had named
the new weapon:

Housing Association. Charles
A. Horsky. president. said the
project would enhance the
ultimate future" of the Ken
lucky avenue neighborhood
and encourage private restora-
ton.
Other organizations urging
approval included the Wash
ington Urban League. National
Capital Area Council of
Churches and the District
League Of Women Voters.
Much of the opposition to
the proposed project was based
on possible effects to private
restoration efforts in the area.
Wallace McGregor. president
of the Capitol Hill Southwest
Citizens Association, said any
one looking at the area could
see what he wanted to see" and
that his organization believes
it is more suitable for restora-
ton than public housing.
Record Kept Open
Mr.. McGregor said the notice
of today's hearing. published
in one daily newspaper and
sent to some 800 civic groups
in the city, was not adequate,
He asked that the record be
kept open so that residents OF
the area would have a chance
to present their views.
The Commissioners agreed to
accept additional statements
for one week.
Mrs. Sonya r. Hawkins,
chairman of the Health and
Welfare Committee of the Cap
itol Hill Southeast Citizens AS
sociation. protested that the
new public housing would not
f1t in architecturally with re-
stored homes in the neighbor-
hood.
William H. Vines. president
of the Southeast Civic Asso-
citation, said his organization
is not opposed to the project,
but wants additional school
and recreational facilities and
more police protection If the
proposal is approved.
The Commissioners approv-
al is necessary before the NCHA
can build a public housing
project. The Commissioners
took today's testimony under
advisement, but did not indi-
cate when they would make

The
Rambler
-. Recalls
Exciting Moment
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

If the Rambler ever was
asked to tell about his most
exciting experience in news
paper work, he would have to
report on an event which he
did not witness. He played
no part in the transmission
of the newS-merely hap
pened to be sitting next to
one of the units of communi-
cation when the word was
flashed.
1t seems hard to believe
that the 18th anniversary of
the event will come in this
calendar year.
The date was August 6,
1945, and what a dull morn
ing that was in the news
room on the seventh floor of
the old Star Building.
One of the editors was
thinking out loud about the
remoteneSS of the possibility
of something breaking that
would pep up the paper.
The first edition had gone
to press with a listleSS front
page.
Congress has adjourned"
he said. "The war in Europe
is over. It'll be months be-
fore we're ready to start the
invasion Of Japan, and the
President is in mid-Atlantic."
president Truman was on
his way back from the Pots
dam Conference.)
In midmorning The Stars
reporter in the White House
press room telephoned an
alert that there would be
an important announcement
in 20 minutes.
When he called back, the
desk man who picked up the
telephone was unaware of
the alert. He must have been,
or he never would have given
the call to Fiji.
Evening star., 1960-03-11

Fiji WAS the youngest of
the young women in the
news room who were helping
the men put out the paper
during the war years. She
was still in her teens. She
was a radiant creature; still
Is.
1t was her first job and she
was having the usual begin
ner's difficulties. No one had
taught her how to use a
typewriter, which she was
picking up, and no one had
taught her how to spell. She
was finding the latter weak
ness more difficult to over
come.
The head of the copy desk
once said of her:
"She spelled genuine in
such an ingenious manner
that six veteran copy readers
rushed to the dictionary to
find out how it was spelled"
Fiji had resolutely set
about overcoming this diff
f1culty. She purchased a
pocket-size dictionary, but
it was the Oxford English
Dictionary. Until the source
was discovered, the editor was
puzzled over the many Eng
lish spellings that were get
ting into the paper, viz, "the
Department of Labour," pro-
grammes" and cheques"
On this day the man at
the desk merely Signaled to
Fiji to take dictation. She put
on her headphones and
manned her typewriter.
Before she had typed the
first line there was a general
awareness in the room that
something big had happened.
Rewrite and desk men were
crowded behind Fits type

whereby slums on the interior
Of a square can spread their

Of the block.
"The square for many
years harbored an interior alley
Slum community known vari-
ously as Harrison avenue, Har-
rison court and Harriso n

Mr.. Ring said condemnations
and demolitions have reduced
Harrison avenue to four houses
plus an unsightly collection of
neglected vacant lots" The
NCHA director said hometown
ers in the area have waged a
losing battle against the spread
Of blight"
Mr.. Ring told the Commits
sioners the proposed housing
project would not further tax
overcrowded schools and recre-
ational facilities in the area
because it would be designed
for elderly persons and small
families.
Among the organizations
that urged approval of the
project was the Washington
