WINCHESTER, Va, May 80
(SpeciaD "A murder warrant
was issued for a Winchester
building contractor last night
after police said he shot and
killed Joseph Desrosiers, 49,
then wounded the dead mans
wife.
Frederick County Sheriff
Robert L. DeHaven said police
haven't turned up a motive for
the double shooting. He said
a lookout has been broadcast
for the accused man, George
Washington Gordon. 81, of the

seen driving a 1855 black and
white Lincoln coupe.
Sheriff DeHaven said Mr..
Desrosiers, who lived on Ken
zil drive just outside Win
chester was an employe of the
Federal Government in the
Winchester area.
Police said Gordon, who knew
the Desrosiers, entered their

in a brief conversation, then
drew a small caliber revolver
and began firing. Mr.. Desrosiers
was shot twice in the chest
and his wife suffered three
bullet wounds in the upper
part of her body. She is re-
ported in fair condition in Win

Francois Haeringer. owner OF

IT wrote a letter to the ABC

1--WE WERE THE only live
exhibit over there. We
thought we would get as
much mileage as we could
so we asked the express peo-
pie if they wanted the birds
for a WHILE" said william B.
Forney, manager of the Sar-
asota Jungle Gardens.
1--WE had to make the cage
for the flamingos," said
travel manager D. Lockhart-
Mummery.
That's crushed dried up
sugar cane they're standing
on. They have very delicate
feet, I think. They've got to
catch a 10 O'Clock plane Fri
day morning. It'll take about
a half hour to catch them.
You break one leg and there
goes a flamingo."
The coral-colored flamin-
goS we're shivering on what
looked like 3-foot-long pink
pipe cleaners.
They're very nervous
birds. And very shy. To move
them you have to get inside
the cage and mingle with
them until one moves out of
the group and then you go
after him." said Mr.. Forney.
d He added that they make
good travel companions and
last fall some of his flamin-
gos made a successful trip to
Rockefeller Center and back.
One look at the long legs and
neck prompted a question of
how they were Grated.
They go in a box "a inches
wide and 8 feet long and
about Is inches high, and we
put three in a box, believe it
or not. Their legs fold under
and their necks form an S.
curve. 1t doesn't hurt them
in the least"

HE ADDED THAT the ci-
gar business isn't the only
thing curtailed by Castro.
1.-The best flamingos come
from, or used to come from,
Cuba"
He informed that they eat
shellfish, ground carrots and
paprika, insisting that pink
or red food helps improve
the color of their feathers.
"The color is very much
affected by the food. We al
ways give them a dash of
paprika and we have an
other in gredient which
makes our flamingos richer
in color, but it's a secret"
He said some of the fla
mingos were 20 years old.
They have no names for the
simple fact that I'VE can't
tell them apart"
Some of those macaws
live to be real old. One we
know is IS. But there's no
way to tell their age or SEX"
said Mr.. Forney. We
changed ones name from
Jerry to Geraldine when he
laid an egg."

Democrat Hits BroyhiII
For Sewer Aid Claim

Lynch, asserted a large voter
turnout is essential in the
Democratic primary if the Re-
publican incumbent is to be un-
seated in November.
I'VE do not have in the 10th
district the so-called blue COL
lar type of worker which, to a
certain extent, is the backbone
of the Democratic Party" Mr.,
Lynch said. I'VE have an in
dependent voter. I filed (as a
candidate) because I felt l
could appeal to this type of
voter more than either of my
opponents"
The third candidate, Charles
L. Lowry, said, Il entered the
campaign, in part, as an ex-
pertinent. I now believe that the
tide is running in my favor
Many Democratic voters who
are not extremists or fanatics
but good VirginianS have wan
dered into the far country oi
Republicanism. They had nc
other place to go. They can now
come home"
Before the candidates spoke,
the committee voted to rec
ommend to the State Central
Committee a change in the
Democratic Party plan dealing
with the loyalty issue.
The effect of the change
would be to obligate a member
of the party, either a voter who
is challenged at the polls or
a candidate for office, to pledge
support to the party candidate
for President.
Under rulings by State at
torneys general, it has been
held that a voter casts his bal
lot for presidential electors in
stead of the candidate for Pres
ident, and thus a person can
vote for Republican presiden-
tial electors and still remain
a member of the Democratic
Party in Virginia.
The proposed party plan
amendment would require a
challenged voter or candidate
for office to pledge he had
given his support to the Demo-
cratic Party candidate for
President in the last presiden-
tial election.

Knife HoIduC
Figure Freed
By Court

A 20-year-old hotel worker,
who may have been wrongfully
convicted of committing a
butcher-knife robbery, was
freed today at a special holi-
day session of District Court.
Abiding to the fact that
United States marshals, clerks
and a court reporter had come
to court on a holiday, District
Court Judge David A. Pine freed
the prisoner, Charles Nimmons.
of the 5000 block of Blaine
street, on his personal bond.
Judge Pine noted that "a
substantial doubt" has been
placed on Nimmons' conviction
by another mans confession
that he staged the knife holdul
that Nimmons was charged
with.
0
Nimmons, who was accused
of robbing a store of $42O
while threatening to cut a
woman's throat last September.
was nearly released at a SINH
lar court session last Friday.
The judge hai ordered him
freed, but rescinded the ruling
when It was disclosed that
Maryland robbery detainers
were outstanding against MINI
mons.
Today it was learned the
Maryland detainers have been
dropped.
The Substantial doubt" that
shadowed Nimmons' conviction
grew out of the arrest on May
% of 29-year-old Roy Mitchell,
who police accused Of being the
butcher knife bandit" sus-
pected in more than 40 area
holdupS during a three-year
period.
Mitchell, police said, ad-
mitted the September Robbery.
Detectives said it was one of
several holdups he re-enaIted
convincinly.
Today's court rider frees
Nilnmons pending further Ce-
velopments on his motion for
a new trial. He was convicted
of the holdup four weeks ago
and was awaiting sentencing.

added its concurrence to earlier

viSed plan now being prepared
Included in the concept ac-
ceptable to the commission are

The zoning agency's action
came after the Fine Arts Com
mission accepted the projects

ment in New York two weeks
ago. In that agreement, the
sponsor agreed to scale down
the size of the project by about
7 per cent and make minol
changes not affecting the basic

The next regularly scheduled
