A new attempt to let Fair

Mr.. Rabaut asked why burning
was not being permitted and
said he thought hauling of the
wreckage from these buildings
by truck was a health menace.
The District then investi-
gated the situation and granted
the permit to burn on the
grounds that the combustible
wreckage was contaminated.
Other wrecking company Of
ficials contend that they could
have cut their bids by about
$4,000 if they had known that

could burn it at the site.

Court Permits
D. G. to Auction
Forfeited Whisky

A District court Judge has
agreed with the District Com
missioners that the best way
to liquidate the city's assets of
484 cases of whisky is to auc-
ton them off.
The bottles, which had been
the property of the Apex
Liquor Store. 633 Pennsylvania
avenue NV, were won by the
city after a court trial. District
Court Judge Joseph C. McGar-
raghy ordered the liquor for
feiteG to the District as a re-
suit of a tax stamp violation
case.
The remaining question was
what should be done with the
liquor. Judge McGarraghy
asked the city for its recon-
mendation. The Commissioners
suggested public auction.
with the hope of raising at
least $4,000 from the sale for
the city's Golfers.
Judge McGarraghy yesterday
approved the auction idea, per-
mitting the Commissioners to

business.

Browns ruling that existing
statutes are inconsistent.
Seek Road Savings
Acknowledging that cancel
lation of Tuesdays referendum
means a delay on deciding the
city question, the two Dele
gates said it may be possible
to capitalize on the time lapse.
They said they will take i'm
mediate steps to try for re-
classification of certain roads
in the county from secondary
to primary status. Each mile
of highway so classified would
save Fairfax $500 a year if
the county becomes a city,
they said.
Mrs. McDiarmid and Mr..
Webb are unopposed for re-
nomination in Tuesdays

eral election is in November.
Group Eyes Merger
A new organization was
formed, meanwhile, in the
fledgling city of Fairfax
formerly the town of Fairfax.
The organization wants the
voters to decide whether the
new city should remain sep
arate or merge with the
county.
The group is called Fairfax
City Citizens for Self-Deter-
mination. Mrs. Barbara Smith,
a 29-year-old housewife and
mother of two, was elected
president.
She said the group will seek
a referendum on the merger
question and gather informa-
tion about consolidation. About
80 persons attended last nights
meeting at the home of Guerin
Todd.
The organization has begun
circulating a petition to bring
about a county-city merger
agreement and referendum.
The town of Fairfax became
a city only last week.

tary; and Mrs. Iris Collinge,

SAIGON, July Z (AP).-An
American aid official was fired
on Tuesday afternoon by a

Four bullets hit the rear

Capt. Ernest c. Brace, 29-
year-old decorated Marine
Corps combat pilot, was con-
victed today for disappearing
after a plane crash in jan

Delay in Rope Cose

Chief District Court Judge
David A. Pine held new ar

The judge continued until

ing two women in a clothing
store in the Brightwood area
of Washington on May 10, so
that a new lawyer could be
appointed for him.
Judge Pine also moved to
appoint new attorneys for 10
defendants already tried in
the District Court, to help
them determine if they want
to ask for new trials.
Explanation Given
One of them, Leon ]. Davis,
jr., who was sentenced to a
year in Jail in February on a
charge of violating the Uniform
Narcotic Act, asked the judge
why he had been brought back
to court.
The judge explained that
Davis had been represented
during his trial by a man who
said his name was L. A. Harris
and that he was a lawyer:
1T now appears his name is
not L. A. Harris, and he is not
a lawyer" the judge explained.
Therefore there is some ques-
tion as to whether your trial is
one that should be allowed to
stand"
Davis replied: do 1 have
to go back over it again or can
l just leave it as it is?"
Judge Pine said an attorney

him decide, but that Il would
not think you would be forced
to go to trial again."
Decision Awaited
The cases of five defendants
all defended by Harris, /"
whose real name the FBI says
is Daniel Morgan-who were
sentenced in District Court and
whose cases are now on appeal

ceived death sentences.
The office of the United
States Attorney this week re-
quested the United States Court
of Appeals to send these cases
back to District Court for a
hearing on whether they were
denied their right to effective
representation by counsel.
The appeals court has not
yet made its decision.
Federal prosecutors in Alex
andria ordered a Washington
man arraigned for the second
time yesterday on a narcotics
charge because he had been
represented the first time by
the bogus lawyer.
James Campy Irby, 80, of the
100 block of Corcoran street

Federal District Court Judge

possessing narcotics. He was re-
leased again under $500 bond

Montgomery County teachers

year for teachers.
The minimum, proposed by
the teachers Mon tgom cry
County Education Association,
was in sharp contrast to Supt.
C. Taylor Whittier's proposal.
He called for retention of the
present $4,500 base in the year
beginning July, 1862.
Both plans, based on 10
month salaries for teachers
with bachelor degrees, were
unveiled at a meeting of the
board of education.
Arthur D. Simonds, jr., exec
utive director of the aSSocia-

adoption of a $1,000 minimum
was the only way to provide

sible" in every classroom.

Jobs in Area
Gain $500
Over April

Employment in the Wash
ington Metropolitan Area is
continuing to gain. the United
States Employment Service for

According to Fred z. Hetzel,
director of the agency, area
jobs in May totaled TAG, 800, a
gain of $500 over the 743, 200
figure reported here in April.
Mr.. Hetzel said the latest es-
innate was 12.500 gain over the
number of persons employed
here at the corresponding time
last year. Last months total is
the largest since last December.
The May jobless figure was
20,50O, a drop of 500 from the
81 900 persons unemployed here
in April. Last months jobless
still number $500 above the
1900 reported here for the
same month last year. The area
unemployed now represents "a
per cent of the labor force, Mr..
Hetzel said.
The employment service said
that during the summer
months, an unusually large
number of high school and
college students will be holding
Jobs.
Mr.. Hetzel said jobs are
scarce but construction, trade,
service and occupations related
to tourism seem to offer the
best opportunities.
He said expanded Govern
ment employment is expected
to ease the overcrowded Job
market during the summer
months.
