Cab Driver in Fatal
Auto Wreck Fined
$100 at Hyattsville
Convicted of reckless driving, a
22-year-old Bethesda man was fined
$100 and given a suspended six
month sentence in Hyattsville Police
Court yesterday as the result of a
traffic crash May 11 that proved
fatal to one and caused injuries to
four persons. He was acquitted on
a manslaughter charge.
The line and suspended sentence
were ordered for James L. Day, a
taxicab operator of 4813 Auburn
avenue. His vehicle failed to com
plete a turn at the Beltsville curve
on the Washington-Baltimore boule
vard and struck a telephone pole.
Hosie Courtney, 23, of 7124 Wis
consin avenue, Bethesda, died in
Prince Georges General Hospital,
Cheverly, from multiple injuries re
ceived in tire crash. Four others, in
cluding Day, were injured. One of
the victims, John R. Turner, 19, of
4905 Walsh street, Chevy Chase, Md„
appeared in court yesterday wear
ing a neck and spine brace, a result
of the accident.
State Trooper Earl Griffith told
Trial Magistrate Alan Bowie the cab
apparently was going at an excessive
speed, causing the accident.
Judge Bowie also dismissed a man
slaughter charge against Henry M.
Botts, 22, of 224* Tenth street S.E.,
who was charged with being the
1 driver of an automobile which fatally
injured two pedestrians in the 6000
block of Defense highway, Bladens
: burg, on August 22.
The pedestrians were Crettie Smith,
58, colored, 6202 Defense highway,
who died the following day, and
George Frost, 59, colored, of the 5900
block of Defense highway, who died
September 9.
Prince Georges County Policeman
Horace King told the court the two
i victims stepped into the path of
Bott’s oar.
In other cases, Richard K. Betts,

Gallinger Hospital. Deputy Coroner
Christopher J. Murphy said he waa
informed by police that, shortly be
fore the shooting. Pvt. Clair told his
wife, "I am going to do what Fisher
did.”
Department records showed Pvt.
Clair was suspended and later fined
by a Trial Board on charges of hav
ing become intoxicated while off
duty about a year ago. Precinct
Capt. Benjamin Kuehling said Pvt.
Clair had been "very straight-laced”
since that time. He had been a
member of the force for seven years.
Since his return from three years
of military service, Pvt. Clair was
on foot patrol duty and occasionally
substituted in a patrol car. He had
no official connection with Pvt.
Fisher’s duties as desk clerk.
An injuiry received during the war
prevented him from using his right
hand for writing. The police sur
geon's office also reported he had
been advised to undergo an opera
tion for a growth on his back but
he had been unwilling to do so.
produce the co-operative effort"
needed to solve the current food
price situation.
The National Association of Re
tail Grocers, through Mrs. R. M.
Kiefer, secretary - manager, said
"saving food in every possible way
is the most effective means by which
we can do something immediately
about food prices.”
A similar announcement was
made by the Wheat Flour Institute,
which recommended more careful
planning of family meals to obtain
greater nutritive values.
Labor came in on the President’s
drive, but without too much en
thusiasm. As AFL President Wil
liam Green accepted membership
on the Luckman committee, an AFL
spokesman said his organization
was “glad to co-operate in the food
conservation plan, but we can’t re
gard such a program with too much
enthusiasm without something being
done about high living costs.”
CIO President Philip Murray also
accepted membership, but in a sepa
rate letter to President Truman
called for a special session of Con
gress—which the President seeks
to avoid—to reinstall price and ra
tioning controls. He saiy the
danger of a “savage depression”
setting in.
Bunting Hails Program.
In New York, Earl Bunting, presi
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers, hailed the conserva
tion program as “encouraging” and
added the President’s “advocacy of

Pvt. Clair recently had been in ill
health and sometimes depressed, his
wife Edna told police. Fellow
policemen at No. 4 precinct said
he was well liked and usually in &
jovial mood.
Ordinarily he would have worked
from midnight to 8 ajn. today, but
took a special day off. He met his
wife and their 8-year-old daughter
Betty at Union Station at 10 o’clock
last night on their return from
Statesville, N. C.
Later he complained he could not
sleep and went for a walk. He came
back about 2 a.m., Mrs. Clair said,
and told her “I’m sorry I was so
fussy. I'll never fuss any more.”
A short time thereafter, Mrs. Clair
was awakened by Betty's screams
and saw her husband entering the
living room with his revolver in
hand. A shot was fired and Henry
G. Clair, Pvt. Clair's brother, who
lives upstairs, found the policeman
lying unconscious on the living room
Boor.
Mrs. Clair said her husband was
a friend of Pvt. Fisher. Pvt.
Fisher, 53, shot himself Sep
tember 18 at his home, 2906
Tenth street N.E. Pvt. Clair wore
Pvt. Fisher's coat the night before
the latter's death and seemed to
have brooded over the death of his
friend, Mrs. Clair said. He was a
pallbearer at Pvt. Fisher's funeral.
Pvt. Clair came to Washington 26
years ago from Parsons, W. Va. He
and Mrs. Clair were married 11
years ago. Mrs. Clair has a 12-year
old daughter, Jean, by a previous
marriage.

vuiumary rationing to relieve in
flationary pressures which come
largely from our laudatory efforts
to relieve hunger and suffering
abroad, deserves the wholehearted
support of every patriotic citizen.”
He pledged "full co-operation” by
the NAM.
Hitting at the weak spot in the
food picture—the feeding of grain
to livestock—Chester C. Davis, pres
ident of the St. Louis Federal Re
serve Bank and former war food
administrator, said this country has
enough food to give "minimum aid
to countries on this side of the iron
curtain,” but “they cannot have it
if the livestock of this country
gets it.”
The President’s program also was
indorsed — with reservations — by
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
who now is on a Western speaking
tour.
In Tacoma, Senator Taft reiterat
ed his opposition to restoration of
wartime controls, and said the ap
pointment of the conservation com
mittee should be followed by in
auguration of a "well organized and
carefully prepared campaign" for
voluntary reduction in consumption
of short food items.
Opposes the Cutting of Feed.
“I don’t agree with the theory
that we should cut down the feeding
of grain to animals, however,” he
said. “That would inrease the price
of meat. We should have conserva
tion on the part of consumers.”
Senator O'Mahoney, Democrat, of
Wyoming, said Russia and Argentina
should hglp out. He said there have
been reports that Argentina is de
manding $3 to $6 a bushel for grain
from hungry Europeans.
With the food problem calling for
reducing the expected use of wheat
between now and next July by about
100,000,000 bushels, the voluntary
conservation measures which might
be used are the same as those
recommended in the 1946 food crisis
abroad: serving single rolls or slices
of bread, open-faced or single-crust
pies; eliminating the custom of
trimming toast and sandwich
crusts; discontinuing use of toast as
