Snow Drops In Again,
And Soon Clogs Roads

The snow is supposed to stop
tonight, followed by clearing
skies and a little warmer tenn
perature tomorrow, the bureau
said.
AS the traction became
poorer in the highway slush,
traffic accidents increased. Five
were reported in Fairfax
County within a brief period.
While traffic was moving
smoothly in the District proper
in the pre-rush hours, Fairfax
County police reported virtually
all roads congested. Police said
cars were tied up for miles,
particularly in the hilly Sec
lions.
Arlington school officials
closed elementary schools at
1:30 pm, senior highs at 2 and
junior high schools at 2::30 pm.
Fairfax schools began closing
at 1870 pm. in keeping with a
prearranged snow plan.
Montgomery schools also
closed an hour earlier than
usual on a staggered basis since
elementary and secon d airy
schools end closes at different
times to permit use Of the same

Conte estimated that 2.5 mil

last fall.
From outward appearances,
Mr.. Conte's speech had a
prompt impact on the pedes-
trian tunnel. Pedestrians earlier
had competed for hours yester-
day with cartons and hand
trucks that lined practically
the entire length of the tunnel.
Much of this matter was out

Soon after Mr.. Conte's speech
workmen stepped up their
drive to remove the heaps of
material from sight.
The tunnel blockade yester-
day was higher and longer than
usual. House officials did not
regard is as a fire hazard but
they indicated it was a head

Called Bill Poorly Written
Among the statements in the
Barrick letter to the Governors
office was this:

written end apparently was

Gov. Tawes said the main
reason he vetoed the 1860 bill
was that it was hastily drawn
and inadequate.
Senator Barrick supported
the bill passed last year to
regulate the savings and loan
industry. Last years bill came
out of the Case Commission,
which was appointed by Gov.
Tawes to draft regulatory leg

The Washington area got its
ninth snow of the month today.
This one, after first appearing
trivial, became messy enough
to call for early closing of some
schools and to prove trouble

heavy, wet flakes fell steadily
into the afternoon. Above
freezing temperatures were not

Youth Slain;
Boy, Held
Leads D. G. Police
To Shotgun Victim

A IA year old Northeast
Washington boy early today led
police to the body of a school,
mate in a National Arboretum
thicket and said he had killed
him with a shotgun. He. said
the victim had been harassing
him for money.
1t. Edward A. Daily of the
homicide squad said the IA
year-old told police he shot his
classmate at about dusk
Wednesday, st. Valentines
Day. The victim was identified
as Stanley Marshall, Is, of 1108
Twenty-first place NE, son of
Mrs. Christine Marshall.
Homicide Charged
After signing a statement
about details leading up to the
fatal shooting, the 14-year-old
was sent to the Receiving
Home and juvenile papers were
filed charging him with homi-
eide, according to Deputy Chief
George Wallrodt.
Detectives planned to check
the 14-year-old boys story of
eXtortion by the victim with
school authorities. The dead
boy had no police record, while
the 14-year-old has had four
brushes with police in the last
three years.
The body was found shortly
after midnight by ninth pre-
cinct Pvts. Melvin H. Fleming
and Blanche Drummond after
the 14-year-old boy led them
to a thicket he referred to as
the Rabbit Patch, about two
blocks from Bladensburg road.
Claims Beating
The 14-year-old, according to
1t. DAILY, said Stanley had
beaten him, stuck him with a
pin and hit him with a stick
to enforce demands for money
over period of two months.
Both boys, Negroes, were in the
seventh grade at Browne Junior
High School, Twenty-sixth
street and Benning road NE.
On Wednesday, the 14-year-
old told Detective Sergt. Edwin
Coppage, he decided to put a
stop to the bullying. First, he
said, he told Stanley he had

the No. issue OF the Mary
land Democratic gubernatorial
primary campaign.
Mr.. Mahoney is opposing Gov.
Tawes in the May primary and
he has severely criticized the
Governor for vetoing a savings
and loan bill in 1860.
Mr.. Mahoney claims that de-
spite Gov. Tawes' later support
of savings and loan legislation,
his veto of the 1860 bill gave
INSCRIPTIONS operators an addi-
tional year to take money from
an unsuspecting public.
1861 Bill Passed
In 1861, the General Assembly
passed a savings and loan regu-
latory bill which was approved
by the Governor. Since then six
savings and loan firms have
been placed in receivership, two
others have been placed under
conServators, and many other
company charters have been re-
voked.
1t was learned that the Tawes
forces are planning to use the
Barrick letter to counter charges
from the Mahoney camp. Mr..
Barrick, State Senator from
Frederick County, is running for
attorney general on the Maho-
ney ticket against incumbent
Thomas B. Finan of the Tawes
ticket.
