Landlord's Attorney I
Says Denial of Warrant
Led to Tenant Shooting
The attorney for Albert Sheldon,
46, landlord held for the shooting
of a tenant, today blamed the at
tack on the refusal of the United
States Attorney’s office to issue a
warrant against the tenant.
The tenant, Arthur Bradshaw,
30, was reported in "satisfactory"
condition at Mount Alto Hospital,
where he was admitted yesterday
for a bullet wound in the hip.
A short time after the shooting at
a rooming house in the 900 block of j
I street N.W.. Sheldon, accompanied!
by his lawyer, James Shenos, gave
himself up at police headquarters
and was charged with assault with
a dangerous weapon. Police said
the argument centered on an evic
tion subpoena.
In Municipal Court Judge Walter
J. Casey continued the case until
June 10 to determine the outcome;
of Bradshaw’s injuries. Bond was
continued at $1,000.
Mr. Shenos said Sheldon went to
the United States attorney’s office
last week and asked for a warrant
on the ground Bradshaw had
threatened to kill him. The prose
cutor’s.office, Mr. Shenos said, ad
vised him to go to Landlord and i
Tenant Court and file an eviction
suit.
Lawyer Criticizes Action.
"If the United States attorney’s!
office had issued a warrant and I
brought Sheldon and Bradshaw in1
to find out what this was all about,”,
Mr. Shenos contended, “this might i
have been avoided.”
A spokesman for the United
States attorney's office said he did
not recall the case, but that land
lord-tenant disputes frequently were
referred to the Landlord and Ten
ant Court for permanent settlement.
Detective Sergt. George Cook of
the Homicide Squad said Bradshaw
told him he owed Sheldon some
money for back rent, because he
lost his job but that he and Sheldon
had reached an agreement several
days ago on how Bradshaw was to
pay the money.
When he came home yesterday
and found a subpoena stating he
owed Sheldon $21.50 in back rent,
he said, he went to Sheldon’s room
and Sheldon shot him "without
provocation.”
Sheldon’s Version Differs.
Sergt. Cook said Sheldon's ver
sion differed. Sheldon, he said,
told him that Bradshaw came to
the open door of Sheldon’s room
and .Sheldon ’ told him to stop.
Bradshaw, according to Sheldon's
story, rushed into the room, shoved
a table aside and “advanced in a
menacing manner.” Sheldon sadi[
he reached into a bureau drawer,j
pulled out a .38 caliber pistol and j
fired, according to Sergt. Cook.
Mr. Shenos said Sheldon came to
his office with the pistol and told of
the shooting. The lawyer then noti
fied police headquarters, he said.
Bradshaw has been living with his
wife in a second-floor rear apart
ment of the rooming house. He is
a World War II veteran.

British Press $200,000 Award
On Pioneer in Jet Propulsion
By the Associated Press
LONDON, May 20.—The Royal
Commission on Awards will meet
next week for the task of persuading
a reluctant inventor to accept about
f50,000 ($200,000).
The man who hesitates to take
the cash, tax free, is Air Commodore
Prank Whittle, holder of a number
of basic patents for jet propulsion
and gas turbine engines.
Commodore Whittle has been
seeking recognition, not cash. He
feels it would be improper for Him
to claim a monetary reward because
he developed his inventions while
serving as an officer of the Crown.
"But, of course, if the Crown takes
the initiative, there may be another
aspect to the case,” he conceded.
He started his researches in jet
propulsion in 1932. At that time he
could net no financial support from
the Treasury. _

Commodore Whittle cnerisnes two
old letters from the Air Ministry.
One, in 1935, said:
“The department do not think
your invention will be of any prac
ticable value to the service."
A year later, the authority wrote:
“We find it impossible to com
ment usefully on the value of your
project to the service.”
Now, the whole RAP is being out
fitted with new engines on the basis
of the Whittle inventions.

G. W. Hospital Installs
Facilities for Care
Of Mental Patients
Installation of facilities for the
convalescent treatment and care of
mental and neurological patients at
George Washington University Hos
pital was announced by officials
today.
Fifty beds in two wings on thei
sixth floor of the new hospital have j
been set aside for the patients. A j
wide program of occupational ther
apy is being planned that will teach j
patients to care for themselves and
speed their own recovery during
stays at the hospital.
Already available is an attractive
lounge solarium. A gymnasium
also is being equipped with sta
tionary bicycles, rowing machines,
bar bells and other equipment. The
patients’ rooms are equipped with

Includes an electro-encephalography
"brain-wave" machine for diagnosis
of brain •tumors and facilities for
hydrotherapy, insulin shock and
electric shock treatment.
To aid Dr. Winfred Oversholser,
chief of the psychiatry department,
and Drs. Walter Freeman and James
W. Watts, of the neurology depart
ment, the hospital plans to employ
a clinical psychologist and trained
technicians to develop the conval
escent program. Social workers and
Red Cross Gray Ladies already are
participating.
The new program will be helpful
especially to patients recovering
from the widely discussed lobotomy
operations, developed by Drs. Free
man and Watts.
The operation, used only as a
last resort for mental patients who
do not resond to more conserva
tive types of treatment, entails sev
ering connections between two parts
of the brain. Convalescence is a
matter of weeks and sometimes
months of supervised training.
