Firemen from Oxon Hill, Al

Forestville were called to fight
the blaze, which started about
1870 am.
Initial reports indicated the
fire started when workmen

Firemen so far have been sue

blaze continued to threaten the
old Sumner Welles home on the
east side of Oxon Hill road, they
said. 1t also threatens the Will

Of using without permission.

Jennings began a shotgun
fusillade about $40 am. today
One of the first blasts pinned
two photographers behind a
tree.
Within an hour he had fired
10 shots, keeping police and
newSmen at a respectable
distance.
1t was after the first blasts
that he shot the arrow. The
attached note read:

it if a 10-year-old girl got
raped? I don't think you would
like it, so let's get somebody out
there to talk to me fast"
The note was signe d

talked with Jennings during
the night.
Police said Jennings, whose

to put it into operation. They
hoped to be able to capture
Jack Jennings, 18, without
further unnecessary risk to the
hostage-hiS sister in law, Bar

The decision that something
had to be done apparently
came after Jennings, an unem-
ployed mill hand, shot out an
arrow with a note attached,
threatening harm - possibly
rape-of his siSter-in-law if a
conference wasn't arranged.

Gypsy King Forfeits

The self-styled King" OF

a gem glistening in his gold

three of his subjects.
Joseph Demetro, SIS, decked
out in a blue coat and sport

shape of a horseshoe, had $3.50
with him to forfeit collateral

Police Capt. John G. Williams

cepted $50 forfeiture for each
of three gypsies charged with
being unlicensed automobile
dealers. They are Michael

Jobs Decline,
Unemployment
Rate Jumps
March Was Among
Worst Since War,
Weather Blamed

Bad weather cast a pail over
the Nations job picture last
month, the Labor Department
reported today, but employ
ment is expected to rebound
quickly.
One of the worst employ
ment reports since the recess
sion showed:
/. Employment declined by
253,000 from mid-February to
4,267, 900 in mid-March, in
stead of increasing by about
250,000 as usual for the season.
This was the first February-to-
March drop in total employ
ment since World War II.
2. Unemployment increased
by 275,O00 from February to
4,206,000 in March, instead of
declining by the normal
10000. The rise in joblesS-
ness was the biggest February
to-March increase since World
War II.
3. Adjusted for seasonal in
f1uenceS, the unemployment
rate rose from 4.8 per cent in
February to 5.4 per cent in
March.
4. The average work week
fol production workers declined
from 1913 hours in February to
1916 hours in March, and aver
age weekly earnings decreased
from $91.l4 to $90.68.
Weather Is Blamed
DR.. Seymour L. Wolfbein, the
departments manpower expert,
cautioned against jumping to
conclusions that deterioration
of the job situation last month
indicated serious economic
trouble. He emphasized that
bad weather-the worst for
March since about 1941. ac-
cording to the Weather Bureau
was mainly responsible for
declining employment and in
creasing joblessness.
When figures for April are
tabulated next month, he told
a news conference, Il would not
be surprised at all if they
showed a pretty sharp re-
bound" If the weather con-
tinues good he said, April prob
ably will recoup the losses
sustained in March.
Despite last months setbacks,
the figures generally were bet
ter than in March. 1859, when
employment totaled 63,828, 900,
unemployment 4,362,000 and
the seasonally adjusted unem-
ployment rate was ST. per cent.
Some Improvement
Unemployment compensation
figures for the two weeks fol-
lowing the mid-March survey
indicated some improvement in
the job picture.

Profits Called
Peril 10 Druus
Doctor Says Care
In Tests Is SheIved
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS
Star STAFF Writer

Drug manufacturers, fighting
for profits, are seeking to make
every man his own physician"
without regard to medical
safety, a doctor charged today.
Coached by television ads
and newspaper publicity, the
public demands the latest mir
acle cures even before they arc
described to doctors in medical
journals, DR.. William Bean of
the State University Of Iowa S
School of Medicine told a SEN
ate subcommittee probing drug
costs.
The situation is so far out
Of hand, DR.. Bean said, that
many drug companies are able
to control discussion of drugs
at medical meetings and in
medical journals.
Nobody. he said, has studied
the effects of last years "sure
cures" which have been aban-
doned in favor of new drugs.
Some Still Cautious
Noting that there still are
some fine pharmaceutical COM
panies which exercise scru-
pulous caution in releasing
new drugs" DR.. Bean said,
that "the problem is with COM
panies whose sole concern is
with business.
The biggest earnings come
when a new type drug is put
on the market before compet-
ing drugs can be discovered, he
said.
Unless there are large earn
ings-the quick kill with the
quick pill-the investment does
not pay off," he said.
Under this system, he said.
it is impractical to test the
usefulness and potential dan
gers of a new drug.

they appeared at police head
quarters.
They had been given until
am. to appear on the charges
Capt. Williams said. However
the trio pleaded for an extern
sion until II am. on grounds
that they did not have the COL
lateral. Soon, King Demetro
showed up with the money.
Thereupon, the gypsies ap-
peared able only to speak the
gypsy tongue. In any event
King Demetro translated for
them as they forfeited.
Capt. Williams said the cases
against the three we're but
tressed by undercover investi-
cations conducted by police
after a number of complaints
about the newspaper ads used
by the gypsies.
He said one complainant told
of going to see a car advertised
as a 1854 sedan and that it
turned out to be a 1853 model.
A few days later the same COM
plainant went to answer an
other classified ad for a 1854
sedan at a different location.
This time it was the same gypsy
still trying to sell the same 1858
car. Capt. williams said.
Capt. Williams said the gyp-
sizes used these aliases in their
automobile dealings: T. Tomoff,

Sir de Villiers said the op-
