i ment.

robber "get it yourself,” *fter he had
i demanded the contents of the cash
i drawer. The man then reached
over the counter, knocking over a
| vase of flowers in doing so, and
I scooped up the cash.
Before leaving, the bandit told
i Mrs. Sullivan he was going "to catch
; a street car” and warned. "Don't
i follow me out the door and call
police because I'll kill you. "Police
believe the robber joined an ac
complice, who waited outside.

District Speeds Bill
For Permission to
' Refund P.W. A. Loans
Considerable Saving
Seen by Borrowing
Money From Banks
Commissioner David McCoach, jr..
today asked Corporation Counsel
Elwood A. Seal and Auditor Daniel
J. Donovan to complete as soon as
possible the proposed separate bill
to authorize the Commissioners to
refund the District's P. W. A. loans
from the United States by borrow
ing, at a cheaper rate, money from
the banks.
The idea was suggested by Col.
McCoach late in November, when
he and Maj. Donovan voiced belief
the District might save a consid
erable sum by refunding the debt
owed to the United States. At that
time some Washington bankers said
they believed the view of the Dis
| trict officials was correct.
Action on the draft of the pro
posed measure has been delayed be
: cause key District officials have
been occupied with the struggle
over proposed plans for reorganiza
tion of the municipal government
and the District's 1941 budget.
Maj. Donovan said today he hoped
t to complete work on the draft soon.
The District's P. W. A. program
totals $18,150,000 and of this sum
the District is required to repay
$9,982,500. Interest payment at 4
per cent must begin with the new
fiscal year, July 1.
Inspiration for the refunding
plan came from the fact that Dis
trict officials tabulated that under
the present P. W. A. loan plan the
District eventually would have to
pay to the Federal Government
$15.592.873.60—in principal and in
terest. The interest payments
would t4tal $5,609,873.60.
District officials have been in
formed some other jurisdictions al
ready have made arrangements t»
refund their P. W. A. debt to the
United States by borrowing money
at cheaper interest from the banks.
It was emphasized at the District
Building, when the idea first was
proposed, and again today, that
such a plan would not be a move to
build up a bonded debt for the Dis
trict, but was one to be restricted
specifically to a refunding of a debt
already incurred.
Courteous Bandit
Sought After $25 Haul
The courteous customer who
stepped aside time after time to
allow’ others to be waited on in
the High Ice Cream store at 1924
Fourteenth street N.W. last night
was the object of a police search
today.
i For the courteous customer—when
all the others in the store had de
parted-stepped up to the counter,
pulled a gun and discourteously
demanded the loose cash.
Agnes A. Capps of 938 K street
N.W., the clerk in the store, re
ported that the robber—a young col
ored man, dressed in a checked suit
—waited in the store for 20 minutes
until after every one else had
departed. Then he pulled a re
volver. she said, and grabbed $25
from the cash drawer.

Fireman Praised
For Saving Boy After
Canal Ice Breaks
Plunges in Himself,
But Gets Rope to
.Youth After Rescue
Words of gratitude from a mother
and a special commendation to the
fire chief were Fireman J. M. Cox’s
reward today for saving the life of
12-year-old Don Custard, who fell
through the ice of the C. & O,
Canal yesterday.
A special report on the incident
to the head of the Fire Department
praised Mr. Cox for his valor and
tenacity in effecting the rescue.
Mrs. Bess M. Custard, mother of
the rescued boy, personally ex
pressed her thanks to the fireman
this morning.
Don, a sixth grade student at
Key School, who lives at 5426 Ca
thedral avenue, went to the canal
after school yesterday with a com
panion, Martin Kegel, 12, of 5423
Cathedral avenue.
They were sliding across the ice
when it gave way, plunging them
into the cold water, which was about
18 feet deep. Martin, a good swim
mer, made his way to shore. But
Don. unable to swim far, tried to
climb up on the ice. It broke time
after time under his weight.
Martin stopped a motorist, who
called for help and Engine Company
29 was sent to the scene. Mr. Cox
volunteered for the rescue and crept
out on the thin ice carrying a rope.
He tried to throw the rope to the
boy, but it failed to reach him.
Then the ice broke under Mr. Cox
and he found himself struggling in
the water. He shouted encourage
ment to the boy.
Another fireman, P. F. Boarman,
rescued Mr. Cox, and the latter
insisted on going back after the
boy. He finally succeeded in get
ting the rope to Don and the youth
was pulled to safety.
' Don was taken to Georgetown
Hospital, where he remained over
night. He showed no ill effects
this morning, the hospital said.
Mr. Cox was treated for numerous
cuts and abrasions on his arms,
caused by contact with the edges
of the broken ice, but remained on
duty all night.
Mrs. Custard is employed at the
United States Housing Authority.
Mr. Cox lives at 5814 Sherrier

In Back of Court
By the Associated Press.
i Frederic A. Delano, chairman of
the National Capital Park and Plan

day establishing a park behind the
Supreme Court Building in memory
of the late Justice Oliver Wendell

publican, of Massachusetts, mem
bers of a commission to establish a
suitable memorial to Mr. Holmes.
The park is one of several differ

the Supreme Court. Others were
establishing a law library at the old
residence here of Mr. Holmes and
making the home itself a memorial.
Senator Lodge, however, said ef

original furnishings for the building
had failed, because persons now in
possession declined to give them up.
Mr. Holmes left his estate, esti

funds it was proposed to establish a
memorial to him.

Joan Bennett's
First Husband Is III
Of Poison Dose
'Didn't Like Idea'
Of Actress Marrying
'Other Guy/ He Says
By the Associated Press.
LOS ANGELES, Jan. 16—Film
Acress Joan Bennett's first husband,
John Marion Fox, 38. lay gravely ill
in a hospital today, a victim of
poisoning from an overdose of
sleeping tablets.
"I didn’t like the idea of Joan
Bennett being married to that other
guy,” Mr. Fox was quoted as saying
by Dr. A. D. Trotter, police surgeon.
Miss Bennett was married last
week in Phoenix, Ariz., to Walter
Wanger. motion picture producer.
EfTorts to locate her were unsuc
cessful, but her sister. Barbara, ap
peared at the hospital and was
admitted to Mr. Fox’ room.
Attendants reported he roused
from his stupor momentarily and
whispered "God bless you. Barbara.”
Dr. Trotter said Mr. Fox—once
wealthy but listed at the hospital as
a salesman—told him he had taken
100 tablets of a hypnotic drug. The
physician gave him a chance of re
covery, but added “It will be some
time before we can tell.”
Later, at a private hospital to
which Mr. Fox was removed, attend
| ants described his condition as
’ "definitely better.”
Detectives said Mr. Fox called an
ambulance to his apartment shortly
before midnight and asked that he
be taken to a hospital.
Mr. Fox. a former Seattle broker,
is the father of Miss Bennett's
daughter. Diana. 11. He and the
actress were married in London
September 15, 1926, and divorced
August 1, 1928. Three years ago he
appeared in court in an unsuccess
ful effort to block her request that
the daughter’s name be changed to
; Diana Bennett Markey.
. i Miss Bennett at that time was
I married to Gene Markey, film writer,
1 I now the husband of Actress Hedy
i Lamarr.
