Boy S|oshes Detective
In Squad Car Frocos

A Fairfax County detective
was slaShed on the neck today
by a 17-year-old youth who
was helped by a 15-year-old
girl with whom he had been
camping in the woods near the
old Fort Belvoid reservoir, po-
lice say.
Specifically wounded was
Detective Sergt. Richard Lester
who with Detective Joyce Har-
veil was driving the pair to
headquarters. Several stitches
were required.
The young pair had been
sought for several days. Juvenile
Bureau police were called today
after the boy and girl appeared
at the youths home last night
to get out Of the rain.
The two were tound as Chey
were returning to the woods
and were placed in the rear
seat of the squad car. Detec-
tive Capt. Grafton Wells said
the following ensued:
The girl slipped her COM
panion a small souvenir jap
anese knife with a sharpened
blade. The youth lunged over
the front seat, held the blade
to Sergt. LeSter's throat and
said: "I'm not going to Fairfax
Let me out"
Sergt. Lester slammed on
the brakes on the gravel road
leading to the reservoir and
threw himself into the rear
seat. He apparently was slashed
as he went over the seat.
The youth and the girl
jumped on Sergt. Lester who,

said. That accounts for 441a
cents on the tax rate, he said.
Another cause of the increase
Is the salary raise-amounting
to an average of 1919 per cent
given to all county and non-
Institutional school personnel.
The salary raise accounts for
II cents on the tax rate.
Rates Compared
The present real estate tax
rate in the county is $500 on
every $100 of assessed value,
and the personal property rate
is $3.75 per $100. Those rates
would Jump to $3.75 and $3.50
under the proposed budget. The
real estate tax rate increase
would represent a $50 boost
in that rate.
The supervisors have until
June 80 to complete their study
of the budget. In the past they
have always made heavy cuts
in the executive spending pro-

Shore Property Owners Briefed
By IRIS on Deducting Storm Loss
Washington area owners of

Washington area owners of
Eastern Shore beach property
were briefed by the Internal
Revenue Service last night on
how to recoup some Of their
storm losses through income
tax deductions.
At the outset of the two
hour question-and-answer ses-
sion. held in the employees
lounge at The Star Building
Irving Machiz, the Govern
ment's Washington Maryland
income tax chief, declared:
"The IRIS is very cognizant
OF all the losses. :. We want
to acquaint all of you with
your rights under the law and
the deductions you're entitled
to-"
Among his $50 listeners were
many whose shore properties
were obliterated when the
March 6 storm smashed beach
homes and resorts from Long
Island, N. Y, to Cape HatteraS,
N. c. Most affected Capital
area residents suffered losses
at summer properties in Della
ware and Maryland.
Ask Prompt AppraiSaIs
The IRIS agents stressed the
Importance Of prompt verifica-
ton of losses. Establishment
Of the deductible loss, they
pointed out, involves appraisals
Of the value of property before
and after the storm and the
submission of data relating to

The disputed plan to bridge
the entrance to the Tenth
Street Mall with a two-block-
long Federal building was
headed for a compromise today.
At a meeting yesterday at the
Redevelopment Land Agency,
william Zeckendorf, New York
promoter, and officials Of sew
eral public agencies agreed to
attempt to resolve the question
"at the design level"
This meant, said Phil A.
Doyle, RIA executive director.
that Mr.. Zeckendorf's architect
and the architects employed by
the General Services Admins
tration to design the building
will be given about 10 days to
discuss the design and try to
reach agreement.
Zeckendorf Hopeful
The structure, to be known
as Federal Office Building No.
5, is expected to house defense
related agencies. Mr.. Doyle
called the meeting Of repre-
sentatives Of the National Cap
ital Planning Commission, GSA,
RIA and the Zeckendorf Or
ganization in an attempt to
iron out Mr.. Zeckendorf's OBJ
jections to the plan.

said.
Tree Loss Discussed
How about 40 acres of pin,
trees" asked Ray Stone, al
electrician. of All Queens lane
Alexandria. Can I deduct tn,
market value of the treeS?"
Mr.. Stone, whose Staffort

on March 5 just before tht
coastal storm, was told tina
since there were no pine tree
on his land when he purchased
it 80 years aeo, his tax los.
would be limited by the orig
inal property cost.
A tax agent, trying helpful!
to establish a loss basis for Mr.
Stone, asked what he had paic
to plant and grow the trees.
"They just growed them
selves" Mr.. Stone replied un
happily.
Shore property owners a

Southwest Mall Accord
Put Up to Architects

one was satisfied to have the
architects consider whether
bridging the mall and Inde-
pendence avenue has merit from
the design standpoint" Mr..
Doyle said.
After the meeting, The New
Yorker said he was satisfied
! that a solution to his objection
could be reached.
Earlier thise week, Mr.. Zeck-
endorf said plans Of GSA's
architects to bridge the en-
trance to the mall would create
q Chinese wall" around the
choice new area.
The building design itself
has never been made public,
though Mr.. Zeckendorf was in
formed of its details.
The National Capital Plan
ming Commission is understood
to have given tentative ap-
proval, and the Fine Arts Com
mission Is understood to have
voiced no objections. Both
agencies examined the proposal
in closed session.
Opening to Mall
The design is reported to
provide for a single 10-story
building extending from Ninth
to Eleventh street, with a ITO
foot-wide, 40-foot-high OPEN
ing at Tenth street and Inde-
pendence aveune through which
the Tenth Street Mall would
be accessible.
Under the Southwest Wash
ington urban renewal plan, the
Federal Government originally
was to build two buildings on
the independence avenue site
instead Of one, and thus allow
an open, unobstructed entrance
to the mall from Independence
avenue.
The Mall and L'Enfant Plaza
form a strategic part Of the
Southwest redevelopment area.
The plan for the Mall was
suggested by Mr.. Zeckendorf
and his architect, I. M. Pei.
Land on the Mall and plaza
has been leased by the RIA
to the New Yorker, who pro-
poses construction Of four
buildings, including a hotel.

fore that he had led an Army
of unemployed on a march
all the way from Massillon to
Washington. At the time he
was concerned about the
tightness of money which
was keeping men unem-
ployed.
Now he was concerned
about the enormous debt that
had been incurred by this
country in the war and the
vast sums owed the United
States by our allies.
Every time a stenographer
buys a $25 war bond," he
said, "She is enslaved in a
vicious system. Because the
bond pays interest, she favors
interest payments.
"We are being enslaved by
debt into the worst bondage
man has ever known"
He wanted to free future
generations from the burden
Of paying for the war by con-
verting all the certificates Of
debt, ours and our allies, into
an international non-interest
paying currency.
He was a moderately sue
cessful businessman of 40
when the depression of the
second Cleveland admins
tration started him planning
currency reform-something
very dangerous for profess
sional economists, to say
nothing of amateurs.
He had a quarry which
produced a silica sand which
was ideal for the open-hearth
furnaces. There were many
Of these in the nearby
Canton youngstown area.
His initial response to the
acquisition of wealth was
normal. He purchased a stud
farm in Kentucky and was
said to have paid $4,000 for
a stallion.
Had he stuck to this he
probably never would have
been heard of-not even in
racing circles.
But the soup kitchens of
1894 started him thinking.
His thought was the same as
the alchemists of the Mid
die AgeS-that more gold
(money) would be a good
thing all around. He wanted
the Government to pay cash
for non-interest-b e airing
bonds of States and cities.
In this he was not much
different than William Jen-
nings Bryan who almost sue
ceeded in substituting silver
for gold, and Franklin D.
Roosevelt, who did succeed in
putting fantastic monetary
ideas of others into practice.
CoXey thought that a
march Of the unemployed on
Washington would call at
tention to his ideas. It did.
But when he tried to address
a curious crowd of 10000
from the Capitol steps, he
was arrested for having
walked on the grass and sent
to prison for 20 days.

show, reported he was in the
bathroom at 1:25 am. when a
window shattered.
A shower curtain prevented
the glass from hitting him.
Most of it was found in the tub.
Police failed to recover a bullet
there. Mr.. Barkley told police
he thought he heard two men
talking in low voices immedi-
ately after the incident.
At 2:35 am, Mrs. John T.
Turoczy, of 10l Woodley place,
was sitting on the floor reading
with the TV set on. Her hus-
band and three children had
retired. She said her dog

house, sailed about 10 feet
across the room and struck
the opposite wall, then bounced
back and struck Mrs. Turoczy
on the left leg. She was not

ened her husband, who rushed
into the room, picked Up the
brick and ran out into the
rear yard where he saw some
one whom he described as
looking like a businessman
in a business suit" Mr.. TurocZy
threw the brick at the man.
MIR. TurocZy shouted at him
and quoted the intruder as
replying: What are you try
ing to do-kill me?"

the man, who then fired five
to six" shots as he got away.
The telephone wires to the
house had been cut.

called to investigate vandal-
ism at Devonshire Elementary
School, Lee highway and Gra-
ham road. The building had
been broken into, and about
$500 damage was done to win
dows and furniture, police said.
1t. Norfolk said the school
incident may have been con-
nected with the others. He
said police are working on the
theory it is a case of juvenile
vandalism.

Out Of History
BY GEORGE KENNEDY

Rarely If ever do we meet
anyone mentioned in our
school histories.
It once happened to this
reporter.
One morning toward the
end of the war-it was April
20, 1914, to be exact-the city
editor of The Star told him to
go to Union Station and meet
Gen." Jacob s. Coxey, who
was arriving from Massillon,
Ohio, by train.
The story of Coxey's Army
was in our history books at
Public School Sc way back in
1912. This multiplied my in
terest in the man.
He was easy to find. He
was still on the train, sitting
on the seat in a day coach
that had been his bed the
night before.
He was 80 but apparently
not tired by the experience.
He was a little man with be-
ribboned glasses and an old
fashioned celluloid stand-up
collar. slightly soiled by the
500-mile trip behind a steam
locomotive.
He was glad to be met by
the press Il was the only
representative and immedi-
ately, without stopping for
breakfast, we sat on one of
the hardwood benches in the
station and he expressed his
ideas.
