Police Caller
Arrested as
Wife's Slayer

A man wanted in the stran-
Cling of his wife was arrested
on the fourth floor of Wash
ingtons Police Headquarters
today when he went there to
check on his own arrest record.
Some fast telephone work by
Mrs. Florence Simms, a vet
eran clerk in the Communica-
tions and Records Division,
resulted in the arrest of Gar
land Rudolph Little, 25, a
porter, of the 100 block Of o
street NV.
Mrs. Simms, who has been a
police employe for more than
80 years. said she didn't even
see the suspect, but she did see
the green card in his record
that means a man is wanted.
She said Little came to the
counter and asked Pvt. Ralph
Troff for a check on his record.
When Pvt. Troff brought
Little's file to Mrs. Simms, she
quickly noted that he was
wanted on an indictment
charging him with the murder
of his wife, Barbara Ann, 19
last July at her home in the
200 block of H street NE.
The clerk said she told Pvt.
Troff to keep an eye on Little
while she dialed the Homicide
Squad. 1t. Edward Daily hur-
ried upstairs to the records
office and arrested Little.
AS it turned out, Little said
he wasn't even aware that he
was wanted. The neatly dressed
suspect said he came to the
office to get a record check for
a job he was about to take.
The records indicate a Dis
trict grand jury ignored the
first case against Little after
he had been held by a Coroner's
jury and he went free. He
finally was indicted last month,

of a prison at night and on
week ends while they adjusted
to being on their own. The
courts usually place those who
do not need control and disci-
pline on probation rather than
send them to prison, he said.
THE behavior of the others
demonstrates their inability to
live in the community except
with training" he said.
Mr.. Garrett added that no
prisoner should be allowed out
of prison until it's adequately
demonstrated that he is no
longer a danger to the COM
munity."
Doubtful of Fclons
Hugh F. Rivers. executive Of
ficer of the District Parole
Board and a member of the
Council on Law Enforcement,
said, Il can see in misdemeanor
cases where it might work
easily"
He expressed some doubt,
however. about trying the plan
with felonS.
Mr.. Rivers cited the figures
on violations of parole and
good time release to back up
his doubt. Over a period of 10
years warrants had to be sworn
out for the arrest of 35 per cent
of the PAROLES and, over a one
year period, for "a per cent of
the men released for good be-
havior, he said. Most of these
men are felonS.

It was reported that the

Sional redistricting act the
Governor backed at the last
session of the General Assem-
bly, provided that the new con-
gresham would be selected
from Prince Georges and How
ard Counties.
Election At Large
The redistricting act was pc
titioned to a referendum, how
ever, because of dissatisfaction
among some citizens with the
way the new districts were set
up. Therefore, the new con-
gresham which Maryland got
as a result Of the 1860 census
will be elected at large next
year.
Mr.. O'Conor was seriously
considered because he is a resi-
dent of Baltimore and the
Tawes' ticket does not have q
candidate from the big port
city.
However. it was reported that
the Governor felt selection of 9
Baltimore candidate would bt
repudiating the redistrictinl
bill which he strongly sup.
ported.
1t also was reported thai
some Of the present congress-
men from Baltimore did no
want Mr.. O'Conor on the ticket
They repeatedly felt that il
Mr.. O'Conor won the election
he might be in a good position
to take one Of their jobs wher
Maryland's redistricting figh
is finally settled.
Geographical Considerations
The new congressional pos
almost certainly will go to al
area outside of Baltimore, man,
believe, because the city al

standpoint. Prince Georges ant

plans to recommend that the
Council on Law Enforcement
study the possibility of extend
ing Judge Ryan's system to
other misdemeanants and even
some felons. The system has
been in operation in Wisconsin

Begun in Ireland
The work release plan was
initiated about 100 years ago in
Ireland as the second part of a
three-part system. Confinement
was first and parole last. After
being confined a certain time,
the prisoners would be allowed
to go into their communities to
work under strict supervision
of the prison officials. The idea
was to allow the prisoners to

dent of Drug Fair, at the Va
riety Club dinner honoring
Maurice Chevalier.
The Rambler knew him
when-he had only two drug
stores.
He would be frequently
filling in for the pharmacist
of an evening when we moved
into Parkfairfax 18 years ago.
Slender, dark, with bright
eyes behind tortoise shell
glasses, without a visible
white hair on his head, it is
hard to believe that he is in
his 5Oth year.
On festive occasions, the
Rambler has a way of getting
right at the nub of things.
How much will your gross
be this year?" he asked.
Milton didn't hesitate.
When we close the books
June 30 next" he said, II ex-
pect it will be $40 million"
That sounded like a good
story, so a date was made for
lunch.
The date was kept last
week, and after the waiter
cleared things away and
brought brandy and coffee,
Milt confessed that he was a
stage struck kid in Baltimore
(his birthplace in the 1920s.
He wanted to be an actor or
a physician, in that order. So
he took a premedical course
at the University of Mary
land, majoring in pharmacy.
He was 19 when he got his
degree in pharmacy - too
young to be licensed.
That was in 1881. So he
went to New York and at
tended casting calls, but got
nowhere in the theater. He
did become a disc jockey for
a time, and later got a job
with a New York stockbroker.
WHEN HE WAS % years
old he decided to practice his
profession. For one thing, he
wanted to marry a New York
girl, which he did a year la
ter.
He came to Washington
and donned a white Jacket
behind the prescription
counter in the drug store in
the National Press Building.
That was in 1885.
Since then everyone has
called him Doctor" a cour-
tesy title which the public
hereabouts confers on phar-
macistS. In 1888 he and a
partner, Robert Gerber,
opened their first drug store
in Buckingham, the model
apartment development in
Arlington.
1T was just the right
time" he said. In a few
years the war started Wash
ington's population explo-
sion, and the move to the
suburbs.
Their second store at Shirl-
ington, opened during the
war, gave him an opportu-
nifty to indulge his ideas.
The Drug Fairs, like the old
country general stores, stock

lawn furniture, garden tools,
grass seed, bird seed, tulip
bulbs, snow shovels, beer,
