BUT ICE was the big prob
lem. 1t was shipped into
Apalachicola from the North
infrequently. So the re-
markable DR.. Gorrle set out
to invent an ice-making
machine.
Ice machines had been
made before. A Scotsman
named William Cullen did
it in 1755; another Scotsman
succeeded in 1910. An Amer
lean machine was patented
in 1894. All remained curios-
tiles.
DR.. Gorrie was turning Ice
out on a homemade con-
traption by 1850. The ma
chine was demonstrated af-
ter an Ice shipment failed
to arrive from New England

DR.. Gorrie was to die five
years later at the age of So.
His invention had failed to
catch on. He was disillu-
stoned and broke. Before his
death, he bitterly noted:
Several causes have con-
Cured to retard the practi-
cable application and gen.
eral use of this invention. In
the first place, 1t has been

Citizen Groups 7 estify
For Rail Transit System

District Federation Of Civic
Associations said his organiza-
ton was continuing its OPPOSE
ton to the Three Sisters Bridge
and North Leg freeway, and
said commercial interests were
supporting huge highway prof.
Iects in the District.
John Ellicott Of the Fairfax
Federation Of Civic Associa-
tons also criticized persons or
groups who because Of their
own selfish interests deliber-
ately or unwittingly delay or
defeat" the proposals for a
rapid transit system.
Peter Glickert, representing
the District Federation Of Citi-
zens Associations, testified in
favor Of the transit proposals,
and said that a dispute about
the form OF organization should
not be allowed TO hold up start

Criticism From AAA
The only organization to
criticize the transportation
agency at the hearing was the
American Automobile Associa-
ton. Arthur E. Miller. repre-
senting the District branch,
said: while we have no oppo-
sition to a rapid transit rail
system" we resent the attempt
to present this one method as
the only answer to our trans
portation problems.
I'VE are deeply concerned BIZ
the unjustified sabotaging Of
the highway program by the
Meta report.
Julius Hoke, chairman Of the
Interfederation Council, told
the subcommittee his organ

porter of the transit proposal.
The council represents around
400 civic associations through

Citizens organizations enthu-
siastically supported a rail
transit system today at hear
ings before a congressional
committee.
Representatives of about 20
organizations testified in favor
of proposals by the National
Capital Transportation Agency
for a 98-mile rail system in
the Washington area. The esti-
mated cost is between sos
million and 1857 million.
Roye Lowry. a member Of
the Arlington County Board
testified that his board was
certain that Arlington County
residents would be willing to
approve a bond issue to pay
for its share Of the system.
Representative Broyhill, Re-
publican Of Virginia, said the
county's share of the local costs
would be about So million"
Concrete Burial" Seen
Mr.. Lowry said existing high
way programs were admins
tered arbitrarily at the State
level, with no contribution
from the county TO pay for
freeways.
Touching on the sensitive
issue of cooperation between
the transportation agency and
other agencies, Mr.. Lowry said
the Arlington board is "satis-
fled that Meta made every
reasonable effort to solicit our
views" The agency held numer-
Gus study conferences during
its planning perioe with the
Arlington board and its staff,
Mr.. Lowry said.
Representatives Of civic fed
erations Of Fairfax County and

DIR. GORRIE had a SuSpi-
cion that there was some con-
nection between the towns
outlying swamps and the
high incidence of the two
diseases. This was long be-
fore others discovered low,
swampy lands to be the
breeding ground of disease
carrying mosquitoes.
He got the town to drain
the swampS and clear the
marshes and Apalachicola
held on.
Then something happened
to DR.. Gorrie-in 1887. He
apparently became fed up
with being the towns lead
ing citizen and more and
more withdrew from public
life, back to his profession
and his experiments.
He got the idea, mean
while, that malaria might be
controlled if heat, always
associated with the disease,
might be eliminated in some
way. A poet was later to
write of DR.. Gorrie's expert
ments: And Nature, yield
ing q secret rare. Gives him
the plan to cool the air."
At any rate, DR.. Gorrie
was able to construct an ap-
paratus which cooled rooms
in his own home where pa
tients lay burning with fe-
yer. He filled a container
with ice, hung it from the
ceiling and through a system
of pipes, connected to the
chimney flue, he was able to
produce a flow Of cool air
said to be the first air
conditioner.

Taxi Driver Slain,
Divorce Charged
Children Witness
FutuI Stubbinq
In CheverIy Flat

A 28-year-old divorce, who
once before had been arrested
in a stabbing, was charged with
murder today after police said
a taxicab driver was found
stabbed to death with a
butcher knife in her Prince
Georges County apartment.
The woman's two young chill
dren witnessed the Staying,
and the man she was accused
of stabbing previously also had
been in the apartment at some
time last night. police said.
Victim of last nights fatal
attack was John Martin Foley,
81, who police said recently
moved into the Hanson Arms
Apartments at 6525 Landover
road in Cheverly, where the
woman divorce lived.
Arrested In March
Held on a murder charge was
Mrs. jeanette Park, who police
said is five to six months preg-
nant. Last March, she had been
arrested and accused of stab
bling Wallace Baker, a bail
bondsman and former county
policeman. Police said the case
never came to trial because
Mr.. Baker declined to testify
against her.
States Attorney Arthur A.
Marshall, Jr., announced that
Mr.. Baker would be summoned
by police as a material witness
in the current case because he
had been at the Park woman'S
apartment last night.
Capt. Earl j. Huber, county
detective chief, said Mr.. Foley
was stabbed sometime between
7:30 and 10 O'Clock last night,
apparently in the course Of a
violent argument.
But it was not until s am.
today that police learned of
the Staying. They got a tele-
phone call then from the &C
cuSed woman's mother, Mrs.
Myrtle F. Park, who also lived
in the apartment, Capt. Huber
said.

The
Rambler
Pays
Tribute
BY JOHN MCKELwAY

Today the Rambler makes
his annual pilgrimage to
Statuary Hall ,on the House
side of the Capitol.
The trip is made each
July. The ceremony is brief
and simple and lasts for
only a moment. There are
no speeches or photog- +,
raphers.
Homage is paid the man
responsible for getting the
Rambler through 81 more
days of Washington heat.
He stands in a relaxed at
titude, much like a golfer
waiting for another golfer to
putt. His expression is cheer
full despite a sad life. The
Rambler pauses at his feet,
mumbles his thanks, and
moves off.
His name was John Cor
rie, inventor of air condi-
tioning, a Florida physician.
The other day in the Jour-
nal of the American Medical
Association, in its depart
ment of Miscellany" his
story was told by another
doctor, Alfred r. Henderson
of Asbury Park, N. ].
DR.. Gorrie was born in
Charleston, s. C. in 1903. BY
1927 he had picked up a
medical degree and had put
up his shingle in Apalachi-
cola, Fla.
During the 183Os, DR.. Cor
RE was up to all kinds Of
things. AS the town thrived
on cotton, the doctor dab
bled in banking and real
estate. He served on the city
council; he served as the
postmaster and mayor, be-
came a director of two banks
and handled the duties of
the treasurer of a masonic
lodge.
Malaria and yellow fever,
however, swept the town in
the summers and autumn
and threatened its existence.

Had $4,000 Check

The victim apparently died
without knowing his attorney,
Frank j. Martell of Washing
ton, had a $4,000 check for
him and had been trying to
reach him by telephone
yesterday.
The check represented pro-
ceedS from a $4,000 District
Court award in a damage suit
filed against the District of
Columbia as a result of a leg
injury Mr.. Foley received in a
fall on an icy sidewalk eight
years ago.
The award was handed down
last February, but the money
had not yet been received by
Mr.. Foley, Mr.. Martell added.
Capt. Huber said the divor-
GEES children, a boy and a girl,
witnessed the stabbing. but her
mother barricaded herself in a
bedroom of the apartment
when the argument was going
on.
After the stabbing, Capt.
Huber said everyone went to
bed"
He said the Divorces mother
came out of her bedroom about
4 am. and apparently saw Mr..
Foley's body.
About Sis am, a Cheverly
town policeman, Pvt. John M.
Verge, spotted her walking
around the outside grounds Of
the apartment. He thought
she was someone on her way
to work.
