Car Starting to Leave
Kills Girl 2, at Home

was too late. The car had
knocked Monica down and the
left front wheel had passed
over her body, Police Pvt. Don
aid E. Johnson said.
The scene is a quiet, dead
end street just a few doors
from St. Ambrose Catholic
Church. Funeral services for
Monica will be held at the
church on Saturday.
Monica'S father. an official OF
the fuel oil and coal concern
of r. j. and M. C. Grace, Inc,
operated by his family at 40C
F street NE. said he did not
blame the young driver for the
tragedy.
His son had been polishing a
car when the Sheehan boy drove
up and started talking with
him while the motor was idling
and the car in neutral gear, Mr..
Grace said. AS they talked, the
tiny Monica got into the street
and wasn't seen when the car
started drifting forward, he
said.
Police did not place any
charges against the driver.
Besides her parents and old
est brother, Monica leaves three
other brothers, Michael, 13;
Patrick, 6, and Timothy, 4, and
a sister, Mary 10, II.

Ketchom ellis Council
He's Too Busy to Serve

The Commissioners Youth
Council today referred to the
Commissioners Juvenile Court
Judge Orm w. Ketcham's let
ter of resignation from the
council.
DR.. Preston A.: McLendon
chairman of the council, read
a letter from Judge Ketcham
suggesting that the judge re-
sign and that Juvenile Court
be represented by its director
of social service, John Larkin
Judge Ketcham gave as his
reasons not only his busy court
calendar, but a possible con-
flict of interest between his
judicial responsibilities and
those Of an appointed advisory
body.
The letter clarified an earlier
proposal to drop out of the
council made by Judge Ketch-
am April 26 in a letter offer
ing some constructive criticism
of certain aspects of the coun.
cil's present operations.
Judge Ketcham said in the
letter read today that his judi.
cial responsibilities make il
difficult for me to take a pub.

nifty issues, particularly thost
dealing with juvenile delin.

ernment."
He added that complete BIZ

Later in the hearing, Repre-
sentative Huddleston, Democrat
of Alabama, suggested that the
birthday of Robert E. Lee
might be declared a District
holiday. He noted the Gen
erals home overlookS the city

District Commissioners in
cluded the possibility of observ-
ing Gen. Lees birthday in their
deliberations.
II have not heard the Com
missioners voice any objection
in that regard" said Mr.. White.

The political future of a
county of 275,000 people may
rest this year in the hands of
As voters living in a town that
had almost been forgotten.
| The voters and their town
Clifton-had until yesterday
been by-pasSed by time. Today
the town is regarded by some as
essential to the survival of
Fairfax County. a jurisdiction
1000 times its size.
Officials of Fairfax (popula-
ton 275,000) have decided that
the only way to protect the
county's future is to become a
city by merging with Clifton
population 230).
Yesterday they asked the Cir
cult Court to fix a referendum
date in both jurisdictions. To
become effective, it must be ap-
proved by town voters as well
as those in the county.
Thus if the county is to pro-
! tect its 403 square miles from
further annexation. it must
gain the approval of a major
ity of the As voters living in the
quarter of a square mile that
is Clifton.
Officials of the county freely
admit they intend to lavish a
good deal Of attention on these
voters without whose support
everyone agrees the whole prof.
ect is bound to collapse.
Already more than q quarter
of the needed votes has been
garnered, since the Town
Council - comprising six reg
istered voters - has approved
the move.
As for the rest, no effort will
be spared to win them over.
In fact, there is a rumor that
some individuals in nearby cit
les who believe in annexation
might also send in troops to
sway the voters the other way.
In any event, the voters in
the little town on Pope's Head
Greek are looking forward to
the whole thing with interest.
Most of them, apparently,
feel the proposal is a good
thing. They believe the con-
solidation might bring a major
highway and water and sewers,
all of which have so far by
passed the town.
The town has grown little, if
at all. since the l920s when its
thriving mill and soapstone
industry were in operation.
The mills are gone now, and
though trains still rattle
through town periodically, they
do not stop except at $50 pm.

Today there is the charm Of

Two-year-old Monica Ann

She was run over about $40

D. C., In Money Bind,
Fights Lincoln Holiday

The District Commissioners
who have little idea where the
next buck is coming from, have
had to come out against Abra-
ham Lincoln.
At least they tried to ex-
plain today why, for money
reasons, they could not honor
Lincoln by supporting a move to
declare his birthday a legal
holiday in the District.
The holiday is proposed in a
bill introduced by Representa-
tive DerwinSki, Republican of
Illinois. Hearings by a House
District subcommittee were held
today on the bill, which would
give all District and Federal
employees a day off on Lincoln's
birthday, February IL.
The Commissioners examined
the bill and found they would
have to shell out about $780,
900 in holiday pay to workers
who had to remain on duty.
Testifying on a group of bills
requiring additional eXpendi-
lures, the Commissioners rec
commended that the Lincoln
holiday bill be deferred because

In the April 26 letter, Judge
Ketcham told Mr.. McLendor
that he was disturbed by what
he regards as a tendency or
the part of the council to be.
come an operating rather thar
an advisory agency.
He said he was concerned
about "the councils accepting
referrals from government de-
partments for actual case work
services"
DR.. McLendon made it cleal
that the council does not de
actual case work, but acts as 6
co-ordinating and, cooperative
agency through its staff.
Judge Ketcham also sug.
gested closer liaison between
the Youth Council and the
Board of Commissioners.
The judge said he was wor.
ried that broadening of the
councils programs, such as one
for physical fitness, would re.
suit in neglect of juvenile de.
linquency.
The council also today re.
affirmed its stand in opposition
to the bill of Representative
Davis of Georgia to make Juve.

DC. Reviews
Electric Bids,
Sees Pattern

. The District may have cause
to sue some of its electric
equipment suppliers for dam
ages resulting from price-fixing
agreements, Rexford G. Wes-
sells, District procurement Of
ficer, said today.
Mr.. Vessels made the state
ment on the basis of a review
of the Districts purchases over
the last 10 years. He said the
results of the review will be re-
ported to Corporation Counsel
Chester H. Gray tomorrow. Mr..
Gray's office will have to de-
termine whether the city has
enough evidence to recover
damages in court, Mr.. Vessels
said.
The Districts purchasing
agent said his review indicated
there had been a pattern of
bidding for electrical equip
ment contracts, especially on
street-lighting equipment. He
said the records look suspicious
because there seems to have
been a pattern of rotation
among suppliers, each submit
ting a low bid in turn.
Mr.. VESSELS said the street.
light contracts totaled about
81 million over the 10-year
period. He said it appears that
some of the suppliers talked
over the bids beforehand and
decided who the low bidder
was going to be.
Under Federal law, the city
can collect three times the
damages it suffers because OF
price-fixing agreements among
contractors.
Mr.. Vessels said it would be
difficult to determine how
much more the city had to pay
because of artificially high
prices set by suppliers.
He said these agreements
might be difficult to prove, but
added, 1T seems strange that
none of the contractors SUBJ
mitted low bids twice in a row. ;
Between five and eight firms
usually submit bids for city
street-lighting equipment, Mr.
Vessels said.

Around the corner at Tommy
Fairfax's barbership Mr.. Fair
fax stood on his porch and
surveyed the town where he has
worked for Is years. He said
he would want to study the
merger proposal before COM
menting on it.

ton. If Alexandria and Falls

ing land, I don't think people
will like it," he said.
Calvin E. Millen, paid fire

outspoken about it," he said
If they keep grabbing land
we'll wind up a few broken
down farms trying to support
the county"
Councilman R. Randolph
Buckley commented: We're es-
sentially part of the county

cities are chewing up the

Another council member,

fax filed a petition to become
a city a week ago without their
knowledge. They said yester-
day they were calling for an
inquiry into why they had not
been told of the filing.
The supervisors. who nego-
tiated a consolidation agree
ment with the Town of Clifton
Tuesday night without knowl-
edge of the towns petition, said
failure to reveal the action had
embarrassed the board.
Fairfax Town Mayor John
c. Wood disclosed late yester-
day that he had filed the petit
ton with the Circuit Court for
the town to become a city of
the second class.
Judge Paul E. Brown yeSter-
day signed an order appointing
eight enumerators to count the
number Of persons in the town.
If they find that more than
5000 persons live in the town,
Judge Brown will be in a posi-
ton to sign a court order max
ing the switch to city status.
The 1860 Federal census gave
the town a population of 1859.
Mayor Wood said the petition
had been filed May 4 because
the town doesn't want to be
wiped out" If the county sue
,ceeds in becoming a city by
consolidation with Clifton.
I Frank Gooding, deputy court
clerk, said the petition hac
been filed with him and hac
lain on his desk for a week
mo one asked me about it,
he said.
Supervisors had anticipated
that Fairfax. and possibly the
town of Vienna. might seek
city status. since the consoli.
dation action, if successful
would dissolve all existing
towns within the county's Dor.
ders.
But they did not-and still
do not-believe that Fairfa1
and Vienna could afford the
cost of operating their owr
school systems. In addition
they say the towns would have
to pay the county taxes lost
by the county as a result Of
the towns recent annexation
actions if they became cities.

If the full amount of funds
requested by the agency is
granted, Mr.. Stolzenbach said,
a sufficiently detailed study for
the downtown subway could be
made so that construction
might start in 1864. Without
the money, it will take another
year of engineering studies.
2. Delay detailed study of
transit design and locations
throughout the central area of
the city which will seriously
hamper the planning program
of the Downtown Progress
Committee, seeking ways to re-
vitalize the city's commercial
core.
! Officials of the downtown
committee already have drawn
a broad concept of their revital-
ization plans but they have said
firm transit plans are needed
from the Meta before they can
make detailed designs.

tory coordination of rapid
transit plans with highway con-
struction.
Applier to Others
The same holds true regard
ing coordination with other
area planning agencies now
making long-range land use
studies. These agencies include
the National Capital Planning
Commission, National Capital
Regional Planning Council and
the planning agencies of the
surrounding counties which are
now drawing up master plans
for their areas.

tailed consideration OF automa-
ton and other improved oper-
ating techniques in drawing up

Shotus Police
Chase Bandit

Thirteen shots fired in a gun
battle between two policemen
and a bandit resulted last night
only in the wounding of a
bystander.
The bandit, surprised while
holding up a Highs Dairy store
at 1882 Trinidad avenue NE,
escaped in a rain of bullets,
crashed in a getaway car and
disappeared into some woods.
He was pointing a black
P-38 pistol at Joan Smith of
ITO Trinidad avenue NE,
clerk at the store, when Ninth
Precinct Pvts. Herbert L.
Smith and James E. Doerr
walked in and ordered him to
drop the gun.
Instead. the gunman fired
once, retreating as the police
men answered his fire with two
shots each. One of the five
shots struck William H.
Thomas, 48, of 1119 Fifty
seventh place, Chapel Oaks,
Md, in the right thigh as he
was getting into his car. The
bullet was removed at Casualty
Hospital.
Meanwhile, the policemen
chased the bandit, and he
turned and fired once more.
He reached a car driven by an
accomplice and as they pulled
away, Pvt. Smith fired four
times and Pvt. Doerr three
times.
A few minutes later the car
blew a tire and crashed at Sew
enteenth and K streets NE
The fugitiveS dashed into near
by woods and evaded efforts OF
police with dogs to track them
down.
-Four bullet holes were found
in the rear of the car. The
gunman was described as q
Negro about 80 years old.
